Apparently the Blade game started development after the acquisition, so it's probably at least 3 years off. That's probably why they didn't announce platforms, but it'd be funny if Disney only gave them the license if they make it multiplat.

Oh NOW they care about parity, huh.

I would expect everything not Spider-Man or Wolverine to be multiplatform like Avengers and GotG were. Spider-Man and Sony have a unique relationship, and then since Insomniac became a Sony studio we know Wolverine will be mostly exclusive to PlayStation as well.

That sold 5 million in a month, we're not sure at this time if there's 5 million xbox series x in consumers hands


console warrior rhetoric aside, yeah i'm like 90% sure that the only reason platforms aren't announced is that there's a chance development slips and it ends up on the next gen xbox thing instead (and PC)

Microsoft's main goal right now is selling game pass subs. I don't think the number of xboxes out there really matters to their calculus

Isn't that basically what they do with all those Fortnite skins? "This season it's Superman, with his trademark gun, and Spider-man and his gun, against Goku and Thanos with their guns."

Aren't there skins in MW3 now with Homelander and Starlight and probably some other pop culture guest stars? I was going to add Hellsing/Alucard to that list, but, I mean, he uses guns all the time. That one fits thematically, if not ascetically.

You know who should be heading up this game instead? loving Deadpool. Why? He's a silly character who not only primarily uses guns (and is not above a baseball bat or mallet), but he has abilities like a teleport belt, and if you gave him a jet pack, your first thought is probably "Yeah. That makes sense." Plus he kind of has a history of killing some of the strongest heroes in the comics, even if it is out of continuity. gently caress it. The parts of the suicide squad will be played by Deadpool, Lady Deadpool, Pooldead (the color swapped version) and Deathstroke. There, I just fixed your game.

It does seem like they are emphasizing the different play styles in the latest Suicide Squad trailers. Or at least, I've seen Boomerang throw his boomerang and King Shark fight like a bruiser. That said, hard to tell how much is actual changed gameplay and how much is the same but hidden in the editing.

Well Captain Boomerang has better tech than Freeze.

But lets say I were Waller and had to pick an Ice villain, Mr. Freeze would still be once of my last choices. Captain Cold would be my first, and Killer Frost my second.

lol this game's plot sounds terrible and just comes across as mean-spirited all around. Nobody's gonna enjoy this at all.

These are the apparent spoilers so you all don't have to track them down.


After the beta ends the SS get vehicles to use from one of Waller's goons.

They then go to capture Ivy from Lex Luthor

Ivy is nine years old and has been revived by Luthor to make antisuper weapons

Ivy doesn't remember Harley and thinks the name "Poison Ivy" is dumb

Waller insists that they put a bomb in Ivy's neck.

Everyone thinks that's crossing a line, except Boomerang who does it anyway to be squad leader or something. Ivy cries and the rest of the SS call Boomerang a dick.

Flash captures Luthor for brainiac (idk why)

Flash uses Luthor to lure out the SS

SS fight Flash. At some point Luthor is killed WW joins the fight at some point, captures Flash with the lasso. Flash says there is no cure and she has to kill them all.

Boomerang overhears Flash's name as "Barry" from WW but has no idea who that is.

Flash escapes and WW fucks off after mocking the SS for the third time.


Waller insists they kill Flash so Boomerang makes fun of "Barry" on national tv to bait him out

Flash is killed by Boomerang

SS are somehow transported to Earth 2 during this fight

Earth 2 is an earth where Brainiac has already won. The SS there were all killed thanks to Waller.

There they meet Earth 2 Luthor who explains what happened and says he's been in contact with Earth 1 Luthor explaining how to fight brainiac.

Earth 2 Luthor comes back with them to Earth 1. At some point they fight green lantern (can't remember why)

KingShark takes green lanterns ring (does the whole lantern speech) and then someone (probs Deadshot) kills GL

Superman comes and mirrors the scene from the first trailer where boomerang pisses him off and blames King Shark

WW saves the SS and uses something (maybe red sun?) to try to kill superman. It fails but Superman goes to krypton to regenerate. WW dies after giving a speech to the SS

The reason Superman came out is because Waller sent a nuke to Metropolis. The SS cheer him on as he destroys it which unwittingly draws his attention to them.

SS are very sad after WW dies and don't know how they're going to kill Superman

Earth 2 Lex says they need to capture Batman so that he can make something which can kill Superman

The SS use a bootleg Batmobile to infiltrate the batcave.

In the batcave they find Tim Drake's corpse. Who was killed by Batman off screen.

They knock out Batman and miniaturise him to bring him to Luthor

At some point in the batcave they find a video Bruce made explaining how to kill all the justice league members. The SS get bored halfway through and so don't watch the part explaining how to kill Superman. Luthor makes Kryptonite bullets for the SS to use to fight superman

After Batman's usefulness has expired the SS debate over which one gets to kill him.

Harley wins and gives a speech, Batman says it's poo poo and then dies.

It's implied that Harley makes some kind of batsymbol in Batman's corpse (think like Inglorious Bastards but maybe a little less brutal)

They then fight Superman. Idk much about the fight but it ends with Superman dying (presumably killed by Shark)

Brainiac congratulates the SS for killing the Justice League and offers them great power

The SS use an ice cream van to get inside the skull ship

SS take out brainiac and miniaturise him. They bring brainiac back to Waller and Earth 2 Luthor. Waller congratulates them and says their prison time has been reduced.

Turns out there are 12 other Brainiac's from different universe's the squad have to go and take out though (in post game + seasonal content) Something goes wrong (I think Luthor betrays them) and the story ends.

Besides story the only major discoveries I've made are that the additional playable characters are: Joker, Mr Freeze, Deathstroke, Katana and Killer Croc.

I don’t know which of these two posts are accurate.

It stills annoys me that Gotham Knights doesn’t pick up after Arkham Knight, particularly since a lot of the story points line up and GK would totally make sense after the ending of Arkham.

Insomniac has a major hack a short while back, hackers asked for a few millions not to doxx every employee and poo poo. No money so now there's 1.7 terrabytes of confidential data out there, including their current plans for the next eight years (I'm a dumb hypocrite and am reading a reddit post with imgur links to the slides, including the terms to their wolverine license)

This is kind of a random side thing to comment on, but adding Harley into the SS took what was already a darkly comedic concept and pushed it all the way into obnoxiously goofy territory. They're just the JLI for edgelords now, aren't they?
