Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League - PS5/Xbox Series X|S/PC/Steam Deck - DF Tech Review

Digital Foundry : After a vast, extended period of development, Rocksteady's Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League has finally released - and of all the Digital Foundry team, it was John Linneman with the most reservations about the game based on its pre-launch campaign. But you know what? While there are a range of caveats, he's come away having had fun with the game. The PC version though? It REALLY needs work...

Suicide Squad, Rocksteady's Greatest Failure, Needs To Be Taken Off Life Support

Hanzala from eXputer: "As if being a vain live service wasn't enough, Rocksteady's Suicide Squad continues to ruin iconic characters, and I've had enough of it."

shinoff21832d ago

To this day I can't believe this is the same studio the brought us those fantastic batman games. The arkham trilogy

It clearly wasn't their decision, but WB. Fall from grace for Rocksteady, unfortunately.

shinoff21838h ago

We truly don't know that do we?

boing11h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Rather obvious. I was also working with a programmer who went to Rocksteady to help finish SS. He said it wasn't a good decision.

Armyofdarkness12h ago

Say it was some multiverse bullshit and make a new Batman game in the “real” timeline and let’s forget this!

SoloGamer111h ago

Hoping Rocksteady can bounce back from that dumpster fire.

SoloGamer111h ago

Its $20 on PSN right now.. that says a lot.. lol

badz1498h ago

Still $20 too much. If GAAS is what they are after, this should have been F2P

RhinoGamer887h ago

The WB Games production team and leadership should be fired.

Comic Book Games Are Suffering Due to Lack of Creativity

Why it matters: The genre has stagnated and settled because video game budgets have risen to astronomical levels. Therefore, developers play it safe, with creativity and innovation suffering at the end of the day.

Most gaming genres are creatively lacking at this point. Publishers want to make 'safe games' that are based on previously successful games with little risk.

Today the executives and marketers have too much control over which games are made. 'Corporate games' are an immediate turn off for me, they are a waste of money, but more importantly, my time.

porkChop6d ago

Yeah it isn't just super hero games. It's AAA in general.

SDuck5d ago

Even the AAAA scene is struggling to keep it afloat... (ba dum tss)

Noskypeno6d ago

I hate how shareholders or whatever make the decisions more than the developers. They should go back to the time when developers made the game they wanted to make, when it wasn't just based on quotas and all that other business jargon.

ChasterMies6d ago

“Marvel’s Avengers”, “Gotham Knights”, and “Sucidie Squad: Kill the Justice League” all suffered from prioritizing micro-transactions over gameplay. Those online stores had very creative skins to sell you.

Demetrius6d ago

It's funny cause I been playing gotham knights and really enjoying it for what it is I'm glad it's not really bad like suicide squad, if they released a couple more updates for the game it woulda turned out even better but the mfs just gave up

Pepsi_Man30006d ago (Edited 6d ago )

This could be said about AAA gaming as a whole but I'll just stick to this topic. I thinkk a great way to spice up super hero games would be to link up with the japanese developers. Many cool games could come out of this. A deadpool game from team ninja, wolverine/xmen 97 game from capcom, Cable game from Platinum, Invincible fighitng game from arcsys, batman or red hood game from RGG. Giving these very popular IP games with the crazy fast paced combat japanese devs are known for sounds like a great idea to me. Just look at what capcom gave us with the marvel VS games and what Platinum did with transformers devastation

Lightning776d ago

Very hard to screw up a comic book game seeing how these fictional characters are filled with creativity.

Demetrius6d ago

That's why I hope we get another infamous game, they stayed true to the roots all 3 games. Most devs nowadays are afraid to offend grown ass people who barely even know what right buttons to press while trying to play a certain game lmfao. Risks were taken when making Gow2018&ragnarok, spiderman 2018 and the sequel. Also risks are being taken whole wolverine is in development. Look at where they are now tho all are great titles and I'm sure wolverine will be lit but I'm surprised at the lack of super heroe games, thoroughly made good ones that is. I also think there are others who want to make some good heroe games but upper management like NO WE NEED GAAS GAMES AND ONLINE SERVICE GAMES NOW! Lmao

They keep trying.. it's laughable

TheNamelessOne25d ago

It's already announced that they're giving up on this by the end of the year.

just_looken25d ago

Though i agree sadly they half to as it has been said they are contracted for more seasons regardless of population. Those on the top thought this was a billion dollar money maker which is just sad.

But i do wonder how much worse can it get i mean have you seen season 2 of velma a garbage product can actually get way way worse.

TheNamelessOne25d ago

Netflix is really good at getting rid of great shows while greenlighting trash left and right.

just_looken25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

@TheNamelessOne

So true the spend hundred's of millions on trash refuse to do dvd/bd direct release like some sites do with games then jack up there per month cost to counter there falling cash pile but get shocked as more people quit using netflix.

Then you toss in all the foreign shows showing up out of the blue or those that fight history like cleopatra.

We lost all those netflix marvel shows no disc copy nothing defenders all gone there chance of going into the mcu gone i also noticed transformers/sonic boom and Voltron: Legendary Defender are also leaving no disc copies but hey netflix has witcher 2 season's new tomb raider crap and all new resident evil high school drama coming out.

just_looken25d ago

they have 5 in the pipeline its avengers 2.0 were contract's are greater than cash flow.

Chocoburger26d ago

Every modern game had "XP" as a way to waste your lifespan, prolong the low quality content and give a false sense of progression, or encourages the purchase of micro-trash-actions.

I'm doing my best to avoid games like that.

Cacabunga26d ago

Well said!
One of the worst gaming models ever

phoenixwing25d ago

I forgot this game existed to be honest. Thought this was advertisement for fortnite with Harley Quinn dlc

just_looken25d ago

That was 2020 when everyone wanted there daughters to dress up as her without knowing anything about her background
