Rocksteady have made a name for themselves in the games industry for making Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, but what should they do next?
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 “
I really hope its the rumored Ninja Turtles. Arkham gameplay with a lot of co-op moves. If they do Ninja Turtles i hope its off the original comics.
I think they could do something good with Mortal Kombat or The Matrix. They did combat so well in Batman that I think it would carry over well to either of those franchises, both of which are heavy on hand to hand combat.
Take any MK character and put him into Arkham-style combat. The MK characters have similar abilities... Scorpion's spears instead of grappling hooks. Sub-Zero's freezing in place of Batman's freezing abilities. Liu Kang's fireballs in place of EMP blasts or batarangs. Fatalities instead of takedowns.
Then their is The Matrix. Swap Batman with Neo and swap Joker's thugs with Smith clones, and you'd basically have any scene from Matrix Reloaded.
They definitely aren't the most popular IPs out there, and the chance of a Matrix game is pretty much non-existant, but still, I think Rocksteady could do something great with them.
I think they should do something new. That is, completely new, and not based on someone else's IP. They've certainly earned the right to let their creative juices fly.
id like to see them make a judge dredd game
Yes please I really hope this is true! Superman I think does deserve a good game and the best people now for that is definitely Rocksteady.
