I'm still baffled that in the Arkham games, they paired up Barbara with Tim instead of Dick.

Can't wait to see Hawkeye miss an enemy at point blank range because the RNG screwed him.

It seems too early for it to be a full open world sequel to PS4 Spider-Man to me, not even two years since that last one came out. Possibly a sort teaser thing? Like £30 and a bunch of missions with Miles and his new mechanics with a smaller chunk of open world with the story being him learning his powers with Pete as the mentor and then a sequel with both characters playable later and following up the story stuff from the first game? Sony has form doing that, they made an Infamous game with the girl with the light powers that was apparently better than the main game it was based on.

If it is actually a full sequel coming out in time for christmas then hell yeah I guess.

This is my guess. Kinda like what Infamous First Light was. It'll be a shorter game to focus on Miles and get us used to his powers. The full sequel will have both Peter and Miles playable.

So they're saying it's a re-release of the original game made for the PS5 with a Miles expansion built in.

Sony's messaging has been extremely confused, but apparently it's a shorter stand-alone game and does not include the original PS4 game's content. which is what I would have assumed based on the title and trailer in the first place. dunno why their PR folks couldn't just say that

I hope it isn't full priced if it's Lost Legacy, and if it isn't a remaster then I hope it comes out for the PS4, too. I love Spider-Man but I don't want to buy a PS5 at launch just for this game.

The Injustice game story is pretty threadbare and not all that interesting, but it still has one of the better moments in recent comic book adaptation memory, when they convince the other world's Batman to bring in Superman.

I really like the good Superman since it's essentially the DCAU Superman, and he immediately comes in and hands the bad guys their asses.

More info on the Avengers game. To me, it looks like a loot-treadmill with micro-transactions that has multiplayer as an afterthought. I can look past the Spaceballs-stunt double character designs, but that doesn't exactly seem like a great gameplay formula.

I think it's the opposite. It looks like Destiny where the meat of it is that 4 player thing, but it has a single-player story attached. You're not wrong about loot and microtransactions though.

I wonder HOW we’re getting these new characters? Did they announce a season pass? Or are they doing the whole “post launch characters are free!” nonsense that, like, For Honor did by releasing new classes that were “free” but took a poo poo load of grinding to unlock and thus encouraging you to actually pay for them.

They've said that all the updates will be free. That's about all we know right now.

Rocksteady heard the people excited to play as Superman and the Flash and Wonder Woman and NOW you can play as:

Harley Quinn, Deadshot, and El Diablo.

Maybe Suicide Squad is like Dead by Daylight, where you're playing as the Suicide Squad and just trying to survive as Superman/Flash/Green Lantern/Wonder Woman casually knock you around and put you in prison.

The leaked list is in that tweet I posted.

Going in hard on the cast from the movie, which everyone makes fun of now. Rocksteady striking while the iron isn't even out.

The leaked description is that Waller sends the Suicide Squad after the Justice League because they don't like what she's doing.

It's possible it's wrong, but people are thinking the leaks are legit.

Gotham Knights is as expected. Kind of a soft reboot of the Arkham games and you play as Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood, and Robin.

Batgirl's costume taking after the Batgirl of Burnside is cool.

I guess based off the concept it is post-Arkham Knight?

They showed that it starts with Batman sending a message that he's dead. But different look and voice actor. Which is why it's probably a soft reboot where it takes place after that, but people are gonna be different.

And they showed off a boss fight against Mr. Freeze which was just a bunch of punching, and not the cool fight like in Arkham City. So that doesn't inspire much confidence.

I'm still floored that they decided their gameplay would show a lazy boss fight against Mr. Freeze, when he was probably the greatest boss fight in all the Arkham games. Not a great way to start off, fellas.

The Rocksteady guy said this is a continuation of the Arkham game universe, so that's the same Harley.

Which goes to show that yeah, they don't give much of a poo poo about Arkham Origins since Deadshot is black now.

I've actually grown to hate cosmetic microtransactions more than ones for like faster XP gain in mostly single player games. I'm gonna spend how many hours playing as this character and if I ever want them to look different I gotta pay money?

You can unlock new costumes in game too, though you can't control what you get. The story gives a few different costumes for all the main characters. And then when playing the character, you get daily and weekly challenges to get points to unlock stuff through their battle pass.

But yeah, playing through the story you'll get a lot of abilities unlocked. You also get the same XP if you play on easy, so if you want to just roll through certain things you can do that and won't get punished.
