Broker Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 This looks like what the avengers game was trying to be. Assuming the core combat is just like Arkham, playing multiplayer with a few friends could be fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Mike Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 It looks like an online multiplayer action RPG with possible (and, I guess, probable) GaaS elements. But it looks a lot more appealing than the Marvel one. It's not the Arkham sequel a lot of people are jonesing for, from the looks of it. Doesn't mean it'll be bad! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah a straight Arkham sequel would be a mistake. Not many places you could take it after the last one to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex W. Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Batman’s setting makes much more sense for a Destiny style loot grinder with story missions than Avengers’ did, IMO. But there’s still the same underlying questions about how you do levelling and grinding indefinitely. Very intrigued. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, playing as regular humans who upgrade their gear and learn new fighting skills is a much more logical setting for a loot game than hulk needing a spine upgrade to throw things further. Also smart to not have batman in it, otherwise everyone will fight over who gets to be batman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Mike Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Who's the one with the guns, anyway? I thought Batman was famously anti-gun, but obvs (from not recognizing the guy) I'm not super on top of the mythos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broker Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 That’s angry robin. Nightwing in the blue costume is old robin, then there’s robin, and finally batgirl (lady robin). I can’t remember his super name but he’s Jason Todd, the second robin. He uses guns because he’s a rebel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexton Hardcastle Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 The Red Hood. The first Robin goes on to be Nightwing, whilst the second one (eventually) becomes Red Hood. It was the storyline for Arkham Knight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kelsten Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 You’ve got Nightwing (original Robin, Dick Grayson) Red Hood (second Robin, Jason Todd). He does kill folk. Robin (third Robin, Tim Drake) Batgirl (probably Betty Kane rather than Barbara Gordon) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabreman Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Well, it's got werewolves, vampires and time travel in it for starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinholestar Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I think this looks really fun and much better than the shoddy Avengers game, but if rumours about Rocksteady's Suicide Squad are to be believed then having two DC superhero GaaS titles coming out close to one another is a bit of a potential cannibalisation error by Warner Bros, surely.
