Just looked at that failed Avengers game and went

"Yes, that's it, we should do that but with the Suicide Squad!"
"But better?"
"Nah."

It's also funny that at least Avengers had you playing as characters that you want to play as. Captain America! Iron Man! Thor! Hulk! Black Widow! And they had fan favorites who may not be as popular, but who hadn't been in games before to that list with Kamala, Kate, Black Panther, etc.

But Suicide Squad it's like... Harley Quinn! That funny shark from the movie and TV show! Deadshot from the movie everyone makes fun of! Captain Boomerang... with a gun! And then they have you kill the people who you would rather be playing as who haven't had good games before like Flash, GL, Wonder Woman, and Superman. Everyone is loving dying for a good Superman game because he has never had one. But nah, let's just do a GaaS with boring characters who all just use guns.

Yeah it is a fundamental failing of the premise that they just gave everyone guns. Like would it have been that bad to have both melee and ranged characters with the ranged characters having their own gimmicks?

Maybe he gets little boomerang bullets that come back at him and he dies and then someone else on the team picks up the gun and uses it and they die and someone else on the team picks up the gun and uses it and

Actually thought on this. Deadshot obviously should be the long range member of the team. Shark the melee only tank. Boomer should be short range but able to hit multiple enemies with his rangs. Basically the shotgun of the team. Harley is the all rounder. Mid range pistols but with the hammer for being a fast in and out hitter.

A Suicide Squad game should have been a Lego Star Wars-like co-op action adventure game released for the PS3

While I do agree with you I feel I must call you out for shortening "boomerangs" to just "rangs." What an awful thing to do.

It's not completely without precedent.



I think Ultimate Hawkeye also used a gun, but that character was basically Bullseye if he wasn't a psychopathic serial killer.

I vaguely recall that Ult Hawkeye pretty much became a psychopathic killer anyway.

Although if the dialogue's good that's bad in the other way like in Guardians of the Galaxy where I wanted to hear everything but then you walk into a cutscene.

From the footage they themselves are putting out to promote the game, it looks like a Sunset Overdrive imitator with less enemies on screen generally and more irritating dialogue.

How much of the story leaks, from what you have played, is true?

I haven't kept up with the leaks and I checked out of the alpha pretty quickly, so I can't tell you too much. Here are the important story beats I remember:

*John Stewart captures the Suicide Squad and tells them to let the real heroes handle Brainiac before very swiftly getting murked.
*Batman hunts down and incapacitates the members of the Squad one by one in a section that should be cool but feels weird; you're still moving and running around like a lightweight action game character in what should be a down-to-earth setpiece. He also uses an EMP to disable everyone's mobility options, which works on King Shark even though his mobility options come from his actual superpowers. :v:
*The Suicide Squad captures Barry Allen. Captain Boomerang accidentally chops one of his fingers off, which the squad uses to get past a fingerprint scanner in the Justice League headquarters.

One thing about the game that reminded me of Sunset Overdrive is that it asks you to be very active and mobile if you want to get good use out of your mobility options. Harley Quinn only gets two swings on her hookshot before it needs to recharge, but you can refill your charges faster by performing certain actions on the ground. I can imagine some people enjoying the constant activity the game asks of you, but I found it to be a little annoying and constraining myself.
