Monolith studio had to die for this

WB games had a good thing going but after HBO max and discovery took over they just wanted live service games. They want steady steam of revenue. Just like Sony has a good thing going but they keep trying to make live service games and failing

CrimsonWing691d 17h ago

Let this be a f*cking lesson to you.

The_Hooligan1d 10h ago

Nah, they still won't learn. They'll just blame the next live service flop on some bs excuse and layoff more people.

Redgrave18h ago

It hasn't been a lesson to any other studio this happened to, WB least of all.

Man...imagine if we got a new batman arkham (or new ip/hero title) game this generation with all the og talent from rocksteady. Instead insane greed got in WBs heads to force this very once taleneted studio to make a filthy generic live service. This is how you kill an amazing well renown studio which unfortunately happens much too often in the game industry.

Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League True Ending Offers Sliver of Hope for Future Arkhamverse Games

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's true ending offers a slight hope for Rocksteady's future Arkhamverse games.

anast119d ago

No, it doesn't. It's not good. It really isn't a good game. Game writers should find a good indy game or something instead of giving bad games positive advertisements.

Redgrave119d ago

Well said.

When you basically have to "jk" everyone in a poorly executed and thinly veiled attempt to save face, your story wasn't good. To me, this little fakeout so long after the fact almost makes the entire thing worse.

WB finally realized their characters are worth more alive?

Concord, Suicide Squad, Fairgame$ And ‘Vibes-Based’ Failures

Paul Tassi: "Sony recently reiterated its commitment to live service games with one big hit last year (Helldivers 2), one big cancellation (The Last of Us Factions) and one big failure (Concord). It’s no great surprise it is continuing down this road, given the way the industry is trending and the limited shelf life of its famed single player games. But it immediately made me think of a game that Sony is allegedly releasing that I have to believe is pre-destined to fail, Fairgame$."

Alos88133d ago

Fairgame$ feels like it's destined to flop out the gate- that initial trailer felt full of that same instantly-dated 'fight The Man with a ragtag team of weirdos' energy that was prevalent in Sega's Hyenas (which they wisely cancelled.) Unlike Marathon I just don't see this standing a chance.

Nacho_Z133d ago

It will definitely flop, missed the boat by a couple of years. Agreed that Marathon has a decent chance of succeeding it looks genuinely good and interesting.

It can't be sustainable having all these expensive GaaS being DOA being balanced by the odd modest success like Helldivers. The aim is to find the new Fortnite or whatever but it's highly unlikely and seems to be a massive waste of money.

Starting the yr off with last yrs excrement is simply fantastic.

Cacabunga134d ago

This is for sure not what’s gonna make me renew the subscription.
Suicide Squad is trash

Army_of_Darkness133d ago

It's been 2 years that I stopped my renewal to ps+.... And Still, no regrets.

MajorLazer133d ago

Utter garbage selection. Last decent game was WWE 2K24.

anast134d ago

Suicide Squad is a rough one

DafunkyRebel134d ago

Im fine with Stanley Parable and Hot Pursuit those two are good games, but Suicide Squad? That game is beyond goat berries

badz149134d ago

I think for this one, WB is paying Sony to include it instead of the other way around. the game is focusing on MT anyways thus more players mean bigger pool to hook that MT money

Nacho_Z134d ago

Good month for me on the basis that I considered buying NFS recently, but didn't, and although I've never heard of TSP it looks very much like my kind of game and I'll definitely get it. Reminds me a bit of Severance?

Just going to pretend the SS game doesn't exist.

PrecursorOrb134d ago

They could have just put saints row up again
