New trailer for GotG. I forgot this was out this month.

A lot of the jokes from this game that I've witnessed so far have made me wince, but the delivery on "you're under arrest" "actually, can I call you back?" "wha-" got a good laugh out of me.

In-game trailer for Rockstead's Suicide Squad game. Well, in-engine at least since it's all cutscenes.

It's... one step closer to gameplay? We're finally going to see some gameplay this year, right? At least it gave a better feel for the game than the first trailer did.

This could not tonally feel less like Ayers' SS film. For example, this actually contains jokes.

Also how is it a middle finger to Superman???

The thing is, anything starring Harley, Deadshot, and Boomer would probably feel like it's giving a middle finger to Superman just because that's probably what the three of them would do at any given time, if provided the opportunity (in order of least sincere about it to most sincere)

It's apparently set in the Arkham-verse (and the Asylum itself looks like the one from AA).

I have negative anticipation for that Suicide Squad game. Especially with zero gameplay. It looks terrible.

Same with Gotham Knights.

There is not a single universe in which I can believe Arkhamverse Harley Quinn can kill a particularly large fly, let alone a superhero.

Basically, let's completely destroy metropolis without him doing anything, get him brain controlled, and yeah no hero can do poo poo, only conscripted villains.

I have a feeling no one from the JL is going to get killed in the game and it's largely going to be "find a way to incapacitate them since they're being mind controlled"

Yeah, it's gonna be "Waller tells the Squad to kill the JLA, Harley/Deadshot et al decide gently caress that, that would mean we have to fight Brainiac, let's just free them".

And a new Gotham Knights trailer. No gameplay, but we saw some a year (or two?) ago.

Very much not in the Arkhamverse, despite Batman being dead and stuff.

Gotham Knights looks like it got a retool maybe. Hard to say anything about Kill the JL since there's no game play footage other than it's probably some kind of game with co-op/multiplayer support

It is definitely kind of awkward to have two different four player Batman/DC co-op games out so close together.

Hope we get to see a new gameplay trailer, the story trailers look good to me but the gameplay they showed last time... oof. But it did sound like they were still working on it so maybe it's gotten better.

Still, compared to Suicide Squad we at least have some idea of how it'll feel.

Gotham Knights looks like it could be ok. I am not disappointed it's not Arkhamverse and Court of Owls is a neat story. Not really sure the gameplay gives me good vibes though.

I felt nothing looking at that Suicide Squad trailer. Didn't even chuckle at its jokes.

How long is it and is there any replayability? I know you only play as Starlord but I don't know if there's like, an upgrade tree for the rest of the team or whatever. The surprisingly positive reviews have got me tempted since this winter season is pretty quiet for games that interest me.

Like 8-10 if you just burn through. You gain new moves for the whole team. There are different path splits but no huge changes I think.

I can't buy into the fact that Guardians of the Galaxy is a good game even while I'm listening to reviewers telling me it's good. I'm looking at the footage they're talking over and it looks so mind-numbing. Maybe the tactical element of making good use of your team's abilities is what pulls it all together and I guess that can't be conveyed through video.

But hey, I'm happy that the Deus Ex team got another win under the belt. And I'm glad fans are getting a game they can enjoy instead of something on the level of the Avengers game.

Chapter 2 sold me on the game narratively at least. Peter's daughter is really charming and while the mom's relationship with her and with him is pretty standard stuff, it's well executed.

The combat also feels like it's trying to simulate the idea of being the leader of a group like the Guardians, more than letting you be them all. Like if the Avengers game had been you being Cap the whole time, but also being able to tell Hulk or Iron Man to do cool poo poo.
