First off, I want to say that I’m a huge fan of Superman. Among all the superheroes, both DC and Marvel, Superman has always stood out to me because of the power fantasy. He’s everything the average human aspires to be on the inside, and outside he’s extremely fast, strong, and, best of all, he can fly.
Now, all of those qualities lend themselves very well to various storytelling mediums. There have been great Superman comics (of course), movies, and TV shows, but so far there has yet to be a truly great Superman game. Some believe that Rocksteady Studios, the folks behind the Batman: Arkham series, should be the ones to take a crack at Superman, and in fact there have been rumors and hints that the studio might be just doing that. I think they shouldn’t, and here’s why.
Rocksteady has hired a new game director that not only is an Assassin's Creed franchise veteran but even worked on the Batman Arkham games.
I wonder if ex Ubisoft employees put “worked on Assassins Creed” on their resume or not, as it would give an automatic red flag to avoid hiring them.
Unlike what we may personally think, most AC games have received generally favorable critical acclaim and managed enough commercial success to warrant an uncomfortable amount of sequels. 😂
A series which has sold over 200 million copies should be on your resume contrary to popular belief people doing the hire want to know if you have had success before
Plenty of gamers enjoyed Valhalla, Odyssey, Ezio's trilogy and the Origins. High critical acclaim and high sellers to boot. Get off your high horse.
The vast majority of the industry follow the Assassin's Creed template for open world games. The issue is fanboys wanna act blind to the fact that all the issues they have with AC are present in all the open world games made in the last decade. While also not having touched an AC game in that long.
It could be great! He worked as Design Director on Arkham: Origins & Game Director on Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Valhalla and Origins.
I think this is a great sign that Rocksteady is shifting back to a Single Player experience after Suicide Squad.That's reason enough for me to celebrate.
it'll be all fine and dandy until until the crime fighting due same gender relationships kick in lol
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League developer Rocksteady has quietly suffered another round of layoffs, this time just before the end of 2024.
Half a dozen staff impacted by the redundancies have spoken to Eurogamer to confirm the job losses, under condition of anonymity to protect their careers.
Shaz from GL: "HBO's The Penguin proves that you don't need Batman to tell a Batman story, which makes me wonder if the same could be done for a video game."
The only reason why anyone is watching this show is because it is in the 'Batman Universe'
Yes I know it was called Gotham knights lol I said Arkham because if may as well been called that because it was basically a sequel.
Gotham Knights had zero connection to the Arkham series. Totally separate universe.
Yeah no thanks. Not a fan at all of playing as other characters like Nightwing, Robin, Harley etc. Don't even like their detective mechanics much so Gordon is out too.
Nah Batman is needed. I only want to play as Batman in the “Batman Universe “
