Will the Wonder Woman game be good? Have the Wolverine leaks made you more or less excited for its release? How bad of a bomb will Suicide Squad be? What other characters deserve solo experiences?
Anyone know if this game's going to be on Steam or the switch?
PC? Most likely eventually, but WB Games has a bad history with PC ports. Switch? Get a real console
>Will the Wonder Woman game be good?
Comics > Adaptations, always
Comics are dead, dude. Accept it and move on.
Accept deez nutz
That's not always true. Heck a lot of good ideas came from adaptations before they ever were written in comic books

Mr Freeze.
>Mr Freeze.
You don't read comics.
Modern comics don't count.
The Nora stuff originated from BTAS. The comics added it in afterwards around the time Batman and Robin came out.
>The Nora stuff originated from BTAS.
Yes, and it was good for that one BTAS story. Everything since then has been milking without adding to it.
Donner’s Superman standardized a lot of shit for the Superman IP. The Kents being farmers and the two finding Clark after the crash. Silver Age Kents owned a department store and adopted Clark in an orphanage.
i did not know that wait didn't the 50s George Reeve Superman kinda do that as well?
The stuff you’re talking about came from a Superman novel written in the 40s by the producer of the radio show. If you compare the two you can tell Tom Mankiewicz read it.
(Interestingly the radio show itself never showed the Kents in person. In the first episode Superman grows up in the rocket, then much later the Kents were improbably retconned in, but by then they’re dead and Smallville is a ghost town.)
the Kents being farmers is even in the Kirk Alyn serials and the George Reeves show
Both Jonathans were named Ebin with Martha being named Sarah in the Reeves series. Both were pulling from the Golden Age origin that had the Kents as farmers.
>Mister Zero was a 2 dimensional character until BTAS made Mister Freeze a household name thanks to Nora
>Clayface was 5 different characters of varying origins/powers until BTAS streamlined it with Basil Karlo
>Kryptonite, flight, among many other things came from the Superman radio show before it was ever printed
>Mercy Graves and Livewire first appeared in STAS before comics
>Blade's modern characterization and style came from the Wesley Snipes movies
And a lot more.
>Mister Zero was a 2 dimensional character until BTAS made Mister Freeze a household name thanks to Nora
See
was 5 different characters of varying origins/powers
Yes, and it was more interesting that way.
>Kryptonite
Massively overused. A gift to lazy writers.
>flight
You got me there.
>Mercy Graves and Livewire first appeared in STAS before comics
That's great news if you care about them, I guess?
>Blade's modern characterization and style came from the Wesley Snipes movies
Tomb of Dracula Blade > Snipes Blade
>See
fml, meant
But it WAS a good idea, you even admit it. It was an upgrade from Mister Zero, and what you're touching on is a completely different issue
Having 5 different Clayfaces running around is a mess. Just one is fine.
>Having 5 different Clayfaces running around is a mess.
Yes, and we liked it that way.
YOU liked it that way. Plenty of people didn’t and that’s why the concept was streamlined into a single character. Keeps things simple.
Anon, take the win and be gracious about it.
I think you're unfortunately confusing two different anons
(You)
Im sorry what? Perez is considered the defining WW run
is considered the defining WW run
for the comics, which are shit
>the defining WW run
defining Wonder Woman as having no personality
I'm glad you fixed your quote mistake. Always good to slow down and proofread though. We're all guilty of it
I feel like you're just someone who's bored and trying to be the opposition to generate an argument. Why? I'd like to have a fun discussion with you, anon. I don't hate you, especially not this time of year.
You know what? That's fair. I'll disengage and find a more constructive outlet. Hope you and
both have a great Christmas.
Same guy, and thank you. What are you looking forward to in Wonder Woman?
Didn't DC try to streamline it way before BTAS anyway? I remember Basil tricking/stealing powers from The Mud Pack to give himself powers. Really modern Clayface is now an amalgam of the Mud Pack, and pulled from the cartoon despite being called Matt Hagen
I disagree entirely. I like it way better than casual wear. But there's going to be a shit ton of costumes anyway so people can pick what they want. Yellow/black, yellow/blue, orange/brown, whatever
Hate that Insomniac’s involved in this since I know they’re going to bring their West Coast bullshit into it. They’re going to make Wolverine look like a punk.
Wondy's comics haven't been good in years.
not for Wonder Woman
Azzarello’s Wonder Woman’s good.
Perez
I'm glad I'm not the only one on Ganker who appreciates the Azzarello run. Probably the last good run she's had in modern books. Sure you can get upset over the sailor thing, and the book doesn't delve into her rogues gallery in favor of Olympian family drama, but it's still a great read that has the compassion of Wonder Woman
The Amazons were always misandrist c**ts. Fricking random sailors and killing them afterwards to replenish their numbers isn’t off-brand fit them. Nor is killing their boys or selling them to slavery. It’s Diana who’s supposed to be the good one.
>Perez
the one who killed Wonder Woman's personality forever
>Will the Wonder Woman game be good?
96% probability it will be trash because of how greedy WBD is.
It could go either way I think. Wonder Woman is an IP that WB Games is less likely to micromanage over. So on one hand Monolith might have room to breathe, but on the other they may not have been given the proper budget to do everything they wanted.
I highly doubt that. Too much has been invested already, and the only real heavy hit besides the plot summary is the demo build. Now if there was footage of every scene and ending, then yeah I could see a big delay to change some stuff.
The whole script got leaked.
>The whole script got leaked.
Then the people who want to play the game should avoid the spoilers. By not reading the script. Also how does that happen?
I just said that. There's a difference between a script leak and actual footage. People still want to experience those events
I'd be surprised if Insomniac doesn't just scrap the whole thing since the leaks have killed all mystery
Been in development for too long + no trailers = shit
I'm still looking forward to the Wolverine game. I just think it's moronic that the estimated release is still a year or two away. There should be a rule/law against advertising games that prematurely
That Wolverine costume is ass. Should’ve just went the jacket and wifebeater route.
Go frick yourself and take the entire blight of superhero casual wear with you.
It's been 2 years and they're still looking for a gameplay lead dev
for WW?
yeah

I expect at least 2 more WB mergers before its release
If it's in limbo then it will fail.
This. Game technology advances rapidly, 1 - 2 years too late means you can't keep up with modern games.
I just hope her game doesn't strictly take place on Themyscira. All I really want is a good showcase of her rogues gallery
there's zero chance it won't be restricted to Themyscira
That would be incredibly lame. You need that civilian touch in a city
I dont have much hope, WB will try to push some game as a service model
and developer will try to hard to not make the game fun by simplifying everything.
video games are boring, both indie and AAA
the only thing that matters to me is the story and there's good comic book stories that could be adapted to other mediums but if we're doing that I'd rather watch a movie or a cartoon, not waste hours on dull sandboxes or gimmicky puzzles.
All three of the Switch ports of Arkham added this, the team behind it apparently found out about the release date of the game the same time as everyone else which led to them begging for the delay.
They originally wanted to port every Arkham game but WB games thought that would be too much content for $60
Biggest problem with the port is that it’s UE3 which caused every issues with the port. switch just straight up doesn’t support the engine at all meaning majority of development is spent on dealing with that hurtle.
Consoles just got The Batman skin added too
Yeah, apparently it’s still using the Switch textures
I hope Nintendo doesn’t just let it die, apparently 3 did well
>Marvel Ultimate alliance is now a dead franchise again
The only good marvel game to not be about just Spiderman and his Spiderman copycat friends
Marvel is really cranking out projects across multiple dev teams
>Spider-Man sequels
>Wolverine
>Venom (allegedly)
>X-Men (allegedly)
>Captain America/Black Panther 1940s game
>Black Panther
>Iron Man
>Blade
Hope Daredevil, Thor, and Hulk get projects in the future. WB really needs to get their shit together and greenlight Superman, Flash, and other DC game projects. But I'd like for Wonder Woman to be good before they run for catchup. I'll even take a Green Arrow game
WB’s financially fricked right now. Greenlighting all that shit ain’t a good idea.
I know, which is why I also said focus on making Wonder Woman good. Get some revenue in with a game that doesn't suck, and then build on that.
Justice League: Cosmic Chaos is a fun little game, a bit brain-dead mechanically but it does have multiple difficulty levels and the fun is mostly in the light-hearted story/dialogue anyways. Worth a few bucks if you can get it on a sale.
When the frick are we getting Spider-Man 2 DLC?
Anyone else shocked Flash doesn't have a game yet?
They gave up after Superman failed ONCE, I can't imagine braindead game devs thinking of a way to make Flash gameplay.
>They gave up after Superman failed ONCE
64? I think you're mistaken
What are some must haves for a Thor game, and how would you limit the natural God of War comparisons? Space/Cosmic stuff sprinkled in would definitely help
