A number of Batman: Arkham City users are reporting that they are suffering from corrupt DLC error messages on both Xbox 360 and PS3, but Rocksteady Studio’s Sarah Wellcock says this new problem is on Microsoft and Sony’s side, not the developer’s.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League developer Rocksteady has quietly suffered another round of layoffs, this time just before the end of 2024.
Half a dozen staff impacted by the redundancies have spoken to Eurogamer to confirm the job losses, under condition of anonymity to protect their careers.
Shaz from GL: "HBO's The Penguin proves that you don't need Batman to tell a Batman story, which makes me wonder if the same could be done for a video game."
The only reason why anyone is watching this show is because it is in the 'Batman Universe'
Yes I know it was called Gotham knights lol I said Arkham because if may as well been called that because it was basically a sequel.
Gotham Knights had zero connection to the Arkham series. Totally separate universe.
Yeah no thanks. Not a fan at all of playing as other characters like Nightwing, Robin, Harley etc. Don't even like their detective mechanics much so Gordon is out too.
Nah Batman is needed. I only want to play as Batman in the “Batman Universe “
Rocksteady Studios has reportedly laid off several staff members as a result of the disastrous release of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
Blame the ppl wo greenlit the gaas idea for a genre not the workers. So like the ceo or the managers.
Or Warner.. they fund projects.
Next time make Batman game with multiplayer like Origins if you really want to implement online. Nothing will replace a solid story driven game
That's all true but whoever did the story, character designs and gameplay also didn't do a good job either. Even if they were forced to make suicide squad and it had to be games as a service they could've done better characters at least.
The gameplay itself wasn't smart. It's a shooter when half of them don't even use ranged weapons and only one uses guns.
WB/RS definitely tried to pigeonhole DC characters into a GAAS shooter and it didn’t work. Couple that with horrendous Joker and MR. Freeze designs, and you have a recipe for failure.
They also completely removed all of the combat Rocksteady was good at. If this was a mulitplayer version of Arkham it could've been great. But I guess it still would've been suicide squad.
I bet the people who made the decisions 'up high' are not affected by lay offs at all.
Shame to see.
Worse than that, those few probably had nice yearly bonuses as this portfolio item likely promised great ROI.
Whoever the project leads are on this also did a bad job with what they were given.
Higher ups really need to be held accountable for these screwups, it's amazing that everyone below them pays for their mistakes, while they get rewarded for their crappy choices.
Instead of firing the devs who were forced to turn their games into GaaS garbage, how about firing the arrogant, greedy suits who dismissed all the warnings from gamers who shouted at them that we’re not interested in GaaS … !?
Anyway, those devs will find new projects to work on, big or small, while those suits will remain seated in their thrones and will continue to make dumb decisions which will run their company i to the ground.
I lost all of my saved data on this game!!!!!! For no reasons when i played it yesterday,at the menu screen....it was like i'd never played it yet!! I was over 8hours into the game!
Its honestly a really good game but i'm pissed off because of that and i'm selling it next tuesday for B3!
I'll probably buy it back in a few months...used
So i'll play it again but now i was too much advance to restart right now!
I had the problem once at the main menu when the game checks for dlc it says game data curpot please delete all game data. I can only play this game offline, a buddy of mine who bought the collectors edition has this same problem & he is pised since he cant play with catwoman or robin.
I would love to have the corrupt data message. At least then I would have a code and once they activate the servers I know it will work.
I unfortunately didn't get a code at all in my game box, so the game I bought is sat there totally useless unless I want to spoil the experience for myself and play half a game.
I have emailed WB but haven't even got a response back yet, so if I need to provide proof of purchase and start sending more emails back and forth when will I get to play this game?? Next week, next month? Come on, if you're gonna cheat people out of their second hand entitlement at least give them an excellent first hand experience. It's not good enough.
Havent had this problem at all. Downloaded all DLC while at the main menu and have my save and gamertag on a thumbdrive. Sorry for the folks that are having issues.
