In this episode of Super News Bits, we delve into the latest developments that spell more trouble for Warner Brothers Discovery, as Rocksteady layoffs hit hard in the wake of Suicide Squad's failure. With WB layoffs impacting the QA department, the studio is downsizing by 50%, sparking concerns about the future quality of their games. Despite the recent reveal of a new DC game in development, potentially set in the Matt Reeves Batman universe, James Gunn quickly debunked those rumors, leaving fans with little good news on the horizon.
While the new Batman game may not be happening, Rocksteady did reportedly get the green light for a new single-player project, according to Jason Schreier. However, with the ongoing restructuring and Rocksteady layoffs, it’s unclear how this will impact the studio's future projects. WB is struggling to challenge Marvel's dominance in gaming, especially with more layoffs expected, including at Sony following the historic failure of Concord.
As Warner Bros struggles continue, the spotlight shifts to other superhero projects like the upcoming AAA Invincible game, which has recently received exciting updates. Stay tuned as we break down what these Rocksteady and WB layoffs mean for the future of DC games, and don't forget to subscribe for more superhero news in 3 minutes or less!

Are you worried about the future of DC games?
I'm more concerned on why they did it.
@@SadotTheGamer it better not be ass
Not concerned really. I sadly gave up on them.
Disney will eventually buy Waner Bros.
Yeah I am horribly worried
Surprise surprise. They made a Batman game without Batman and people didn’t love it. Who would have guessed.
Batman is literally in the game. The problem was they made a Justice League game where you don't play as the Justice League, then made it live service but made the DLC bad.
@@noahmiller4953 its crazy how they thought that game would work
Out.
@@codyeasonBGRI don’t see why it wouldn’t if it was made in their classic single player fashion that jumps between characters.
To be fair, I don't think they ever advertised SSKTJL as a Batman game. They said it took place in the Arkhamverse. Saying it's a batman game when they never said it wasn't is similar to saying they made a Superman game without Superman. Still looks a bad game though.
@@SadotTheGamer also it was super woke and disrespected the original justice league. Is it any wonder why player count fell off a cliff? Lol
They could have had easy money, doing a Batman Beyond game.
But no. We got Gotham Knights.
They could have rebounded with a comic/justice league show accurate Superman game.
But no. We got Suicide Squad.
I would've liked Gotham Knights a lot more had Bruce survived and Suicide Squad a lot more had they managed to cure the League of Brainiac's brainwashing and they destroyed him for good in the main campaign. There was no need for season passes with a new Joker or a Mrs. Freeze.
@@TDKiller415 batman death was an ass pull too harley for some reason know exactly how to rewrite the fear toxin to joker toxin and to affect batman and she somehow found all the chemicals she wants mid battle in the batcave
@@khaledkhateb8665 The whole game is full of so much force plot armor and plot holes it is crazy
The group wasn't the issue
@@TDKiller415 "Suicide Squad" and "Gotham Knights" should never have been live service
Firing someone on paternity leave is actually grounds for lawsuit they should sue
Well they prob didn’t actually fire him/her they probably just let them go. They can’t pay u if they actually don’t have the money to do it so they can’t sue
There is no difference between firing somebody and letting them go. The only distinction comes from whether or not they were fired for cause. It doesn't matter how much money the company has, if you violated somebody's rights in firing them, you can be sued.
@@uncomfortabletruths7990 thats still terminating someone on benefits that were already apart of there contract. eliminating an associate to not fulfill a benefit/salary thats grounds for geting sued. you cant give a permission a pink slip to avoid compensating a hired employee without stating what they did that didnt reflect there company policy.
your on a pay vacation than in the middle of it, your told your not longer an associate. usually the proper way is to wait for them to comeback to state there gone, not in the middle of paternity leave lol
@@uncomfortabletruths7990letting them go and firing them is literally the same thing lol. Companies operate under the mentality that because they have money that they can break their own policies and violate workers rights without any problems which is just ridiculous. The right way to do it would be to wait until they arrived and have and look over the contract with said employee to make an educated decision on the termination of their employment. Where it is beneficial for both parties if at all. Not firing them during paternity leave as that causes problems.
@@SadotTheGamer No rights were violated tho. Especially if it's for financial reasons, there is no law against firing somebody on paternity leave.
It always happens: the bosses make a stupid decision, it inevitably fails, and everyone else suffers for it while the suits get bigger bonuses for "cutting costs".
@@Mgauge like being woke AF
Alot of companies don't really "fix their problems", it's the ceo's job to leave when a company is in crisis, and sadly alot of today's ceo dont do their job....
It's not WB if the bosses aren't stupid.
@@SaltedBadlyyou're not wrong at all, even from an unpolitical standpoint.
Republicans are far more likely to follow through on a product boycott compared to Democrats
Going "woke" alienates republicans, and democrats already don't like big business, so when the company starts failing no tears are shed
@@SaltedBadly If can happen to any company with incompetent leadership.
A Batman Beyond game with a nemesis system. it's not exactly rocket science.
To them it just might be
Everything is rocket science to them now. They can't even figure out that Captain Boomerang uses boomerangs.
Hell no
@@steven-i6j try pitching that to the boomer executives over at Warner bros 😂.
@@TurtleMan99
Last I heard, they ran into some kind of development issues.
suits and ties getting more money , but innocent devs got fired for working cause they did what the suits said W
Yup that's how it goes. The founders of Rocksteady ruined the development of Suicide Squad, abandoned the company before the backlash hit, started a new studio and got rewarded with money from Microsoft for their next game
The innocent devs already left, the new ones are blaming Seth
@@SadotTheGamerno it doesn’t, the founders left mid development because of Seth. The information came out way before this video
I covered the information in a video as soon as the article came out. I'm correct.
@@SadotTheGameronly 2 of the 3. 1 of the 3 rocksteady founders (Nathan Burlow - former Director of Production) stayed with Rocksteady and became the head. Nobody reports this tho lol.
Warner Bros has done it, it killed cinema and the Videogame industry.
@@MatDazNah2005 💯
💯
Why did my favorite entertainment company do this😞
Don't forget animation. They axed dozens of cartoons for a tax write-off.
to be fair, in terms of cinema MARVEL/DC and in general their shit movies for a solid decade has ruined cinema.
Friends and Family:"Congrats on the new baby"
WB: You're fired, good luck raising the kid without a job
@@lous2187 how awful
Warner bros cant do anything right
@@beowulfarsene3687 And it's all David Zaslav's fault.
They were doing okay with the animated movies. lol
@@itsnotnotjonathan thats all they do right to be fair
They should fire the top decision makers and Sweet Baby Inc., not the devs or QA. The former decide the direction of the game / movie / animation ... the latter are just there to execute that vision.
The top decision makes (Jamie and Sefton Hill) abandoned the company before the game launched and started a new studio. Sweet Baby Inc doesn't work for WB, they're a consultant group and they barely worked on the game. But yeah QA unfortunately is always treated like garbage in the gaming industry even though their job is really important because the execs don't care if a game is buggy. Unless it affects sales.
@@SadotTheGamerthose SJW consultants should never be consultants on anything. They are low lives, they are everything wrong with the world. The sooner everyone worthy understand this, the better off we will be.
Lol WB won't get good news because they don't have a clue of what they need to do.
Why try for good news when they can get tax write-offs.
How about pay real good ass game designers
WB has shown again and again that they don't know how to handle their own IP and partnerships.
Infinite Crisis; The DC MOBA. Had strong promotions and comic book tie-ins. WB Killed it
DC Worlds Collide; Strong start, WB killed it before global launch (This one pissed me off because it was a GREAT game with potential)
There was a possible relaunch of DCWC (above), but after the new Beta, not a peep. WB are their own worst enemy. They need to spend less time worrying about Marvel and spend more time fixing their own house.
WB turned it into a live service game and it bombed and this is the employees fault for following the orders from the top. Executives at large companies have zero accountability.
@kanzaki0001 In the most respectful way possible, you are ignorant to how game developing actually works. You can fault devs for game bugs, but you cannot fault them for following orders given from the top. If they outright refused these orders they'd lose their job. And as much as i love comic accurate video games, it's unfair to ask someone to put their job on the line in this collapsing economy.
Better be Batman Beyond game that take place 10-20 years later in future.
Wasn't batman like 80 in batman beyond? Should be like 40-50 years into the future
@@BoredBoredman please something other than Batman. We've already gotten so much Batman stuff but there are hundreds of other cool characters they could pick from
@@asterix1912 YEAH!!! Like Robin
@@talkingben3332 no!😂 Like anyone else that's not in the Bat family
@@asterix1912we already getting a Wonder Woman game and there is never enough Batman…
The Arkham series solidified Batman as a viable videogame franchise. Made no sense stopping at 3. There should have been a next gen Batman game. Instead of suicide squad they should have done a Deadshot game
@@questlazy122 its more than 3...its just known has trilogy because its the rocksteady trilogy,but the others are canon
@@questlazy122 brother a deadshot game is a horrible idea
You mean Batman Beyond game
@@jadenpuckett2480 agree with you
People have a stupid fixation with trilogies. They can't hear it or they have an eargasm.
We need more game with Dc caracters so much potential here and not always Batman, but if its gonna be a Batman game it need to be mire than just another "Akham". Do an open world with Dc caracters or something.
Blue Beetle, Green Arrow, Red Hood, Wonder Woman are all characters that deserve their own game.
Red Hood the most, i'd get it immediatly if i can go around shooting psychos
A green lantern style game could work as most of your mission could be earth centered and occasional off world missions. At some point in the game you start unlocking other spectrum abilities or choose a secondary color somehow
@@Zabor-ny3co hell no. maybe red hood but none of those.
@@zekriamine7842 why not the others?
@@Zabor-ny3co yes you are right, but I think they want to make games with characters that can bring in the most $$$$. But for a long time it's not just Batman and Superman who are popular and with potential, there are many others, but I think they don't have enough knowledge at Wb games.
I would love to see an objective based survival horror game where you play as a street criminal in Gotham city at night. Similar vibes to the intro of Matt reeves Batman movie. Trying to commit robberies and survive the night while trying to avoid Batman.
They should have just made another Batman game from the start then a Wonder Woman game and a Superman game all by Rocksteady 😒
No because after Arkham Knight, Rocksteady started listening to Sweet Baby Inc.
Any Batman game, any Wonder Woman game, any Superman game would have been awful as they were too busy being playthings of Sweet Baby Inc.
Rocksteady nowdays isn't the same as before, many of the old developers quitted that studio and if that suicide squad game didn't prove you anything on that I don't know what will
Ain't a Wonder woman video games is in development
@@animezilla4486 Well, it *was* but good luck to see it come out. But with the current state of WB Games, good luck for the future.
For too long they have prioritised the wrong things and now finally people are wising up to it and voting with $$$. Don't buy games that prioritise live service and other things ahead of quality.
@@FabledHeroes3351 we have PLENTY, I Mean decades worth of Batman games and content. We do t need another one, this is why nobody cares anymore, cause everywhere I look, Batman, Joker, Harley Quinn, or many other Batman related offshoots. They think Batman is the only character they have, I'm a Superman and Flash fan, I've been waiting literal decades for a good Superman game and have NEVER seen a Flash solo game. Yet every chance they get, they throw these same heroes I to their Batman fantasies and make them nerfed, evil versions. Hell they even went and did Batman dirty. They have no shame with this IP. They refuse to give us anything we want, they have never listened to the fans. WBs ego is what's going to kill DC. Period.
At this point Warner bros needs to give up the ips
Right now WB wants a quick cash grab. That why they keep pushing out all these generic gear system shooter type games. They want something they can keep selling DLC and microtransactions. Not understanding their ips are not blind shooter type games. They are about actually characters and lore. This isn't COD or fortnite.
The problem with WB is they think the only single character they have is Batman. Its ALWAYS Batman, we never get ANYTHING different. The only time we get anything remotely new, its still Batman related characters. The other DC characters are ensemble in a fighting game, is some evil version of the characters we have to fight (with Batman) or both. They refuse to give us something fresh, like Flash, Wonder Woman, Superman. Those three alone, not to forget the countless DC characters. No we get Batman or an offshoot of Batman. We're tired, at least Im tired. I dont care about their games anymore, i know exactly what im getting. BATMAN. So why pay for something new when i can just go back to the vast catalog of the same character? I dont need another "Evil Superman". Im tired of fighting my heroes. Enough WB!
@@Raider1FN honestly yeah, like they could even do a peacemaker action/stealth game considering they’re pumping out a new season of Peacemaker it’d make sense to go with a game or and I know you said no Batman entangled characters but even a joker game where you have to slowly build your rep up by taking down factions of gangs throughout the city, blowing up buildings robbing banks etc. Eventually catching the eye of Batman and having to outsmart him until being sent to Arkham.
Here we go corporate restructuring, I am so tired of hearing bout that. Man my company fired an employee while on bereavement . Don't surprise me WB!
Should be a lawsuit
WB and Rocksteady had an award winning multimillion making machine with Batman, and they fk'd it up.
Hey, here's what we'll do. We'll make a game where you basically watch your beloved characters from your childhood get killed off.
What do you mean it's not selling?!
They could have made it good, but it was a third person light show honestly
The Arkham verse should be DC’s game universe. Scrap suicide squad and expand on the world
I would love a Deathstroke game.
One of the challenges facing Warner Bros is their lack of commitment to their legacy characters. They must stop reinventing all their characters, stop retelling origin stories, and instead embrace what has made them great.
It's quite simple, we all want a dark and gritty batman game with good and improved gameplay, where the batman is actually in the game, badass as usual, with batmobile, gadgets, batwing and batcycle (the more we get the better it will be, if well made), and a good storywriting
Yes, fire the QA, not the directors who decide what the game would be like. What a joke the gaming industry has become.
One of the things I like about this video: You didn't waste several minutes telling me what I was going to see, you just got down to it.
Suicide Squad killed Kevin Conroy's legacy. Fark that game.
Oh please, Conroy'd have to be revealed to be some kind of H-anime-style sex predator or _extremely_ prolific serial killer to destroy his legacy (and even *that* might not do it). One bad game ain't gonna do squat.
@@nicholasfarrell5981 it being his last game yes.
I bet if this was a Batman Reality-TV Simulator, WB would be all over it.
Nobody who made Rocksteady good is there anymore, I'm not expecting anything other than SLOP
1:29 especially abt that time when they did batman/Kevin Conroy the Dark Legend super extremely dirty
Man there ought to be a law preventing companies from essentially creating IP graveyards...so many things have been lost because of companies pulling that stunt
Indie devs could take a crack at it
Straight to the point, didnt sit there going on and on repeating yourself, no trash talking like the trolls who post 25 min rants on 1 fuckin game because it sucked and have zero lives, and your voice didnt make me lose brain cells. You sir got yourself a new subscriber, thanks for being a decent human being and a grown up
Management makes horrible design choices, pushes that on the developers and the quality control folks get fired.
Makes perfect sense.
"Hopefully, WB gets some good news..."
For the sake of the jobs they keep taking due to their bosses' greed, we can only hope good news is coming for them.
QA wasn’t the problem, it was the writing.
hitting the qa is like blowing off your entire leg, replacing it with an arm prosthetic and proceed to walk on your hands
1:30 Good. QA failed.
Can Rocksteady just listen and make a Batman beyond game already! Seriously guys that game is the only thing that’s gonna fix your reputation. LISTEN and MAKE IT.
Same company that cancelled Miller's future mad Max projects just to release that Minecraft movie. Idk who's responsible for these decisions but I genuinely hope they get fired
For reason ill ask, what do you axpect? WB nowadays had zero imagination to good gaming.
I wonder the games that couldve came to be like that flash game that they cancelled in 2009, a new lego marvel or dc game but with better maps, lego dc sets with variety. The worst thing is is not just in games but also in franchise merch.
WB in the past was that peak master wornder since i was a child, now it became adicted to batman and allergic to money and general good ideas
Go woke go broke
That doesn't make sense
that makes sense
Still don't see anything remotely 'woke' about Suicide Squad. What .. Harley Quinn bit ? That was at best inappropriate. Also to consider ... 'go fash, no cash' for the right wing. As pretty evident from their failures at making dating apps in particular. Glorious trainwrecks these were. As for Warner Brothers .. they made game there was no interest in, because of live service chase, cancelled games people were interested in - like Superman standalone game, microtransactions aplenty, disgusting monetizations, bad game design (Suicide Squad) .. there are many problems of Warner Brothers Games, none of which is 'woke'. At best they are killed by capitalism favourite - their own greed.
@@Lyaagato They literally did not go broke, so... no. No it doesn't.
Sweet Baby Inc. barely touched the game. Stop regurgitating stupid shit.
Like the QA was the problem, I think they've had a beef with the QA department which told them to throw Suicide Squad project in the garbage bin and start over.
Bro. Stop making batman Games. I've definitely had enough of that. We need something different. DC is way way bigger than just batman
Batman games are not the problem, the problem are bad batman games and vr batman games
@@BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHH all they do is make batman games. They need other things
Facts. Let others get games
@@1spitfyre
I mean he's pretty much the spiderman of dc. He's the definite hit. Also it's easier to make a batman game focused on set stealth takedowns and martial arts fights than trying to make super game that isn't very janky.
@@BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHH i do think that they need to stop focusing on batman, but every single batman game is amazing besides the 2016 vr batman game, arkham shadow has some real promising gameplay, and its exactly what i want in a batman vr game, it should be the last batman game they do for a while, but a new batman vr was needed because of how bad the first one was
Where in good gods fuck is the very beginning snowy Batman animation from?!?!?!?????
I used AI to make it
Sadot, what game dc game do you think is the best? I think my favorite dc games is Injustice 2 and Batman Arkham Knight and the lego games
Nothing DC has produced is better than Arkham City
Cap the injustice series are probably the next best next to the arkham trilogy
You know gaming is bad when I use my ps5 as a vape charger
Why did they have to hire james gunn smh
What does he got to do with anything? He's focused on the movies and shows.
Actually games too
@NotRJ001 he's also in charge of the games too so if he wanted he could cancel the wonder woman game by monolith too.
@Mad.boi_-mcgee
I mean this lost them 200mil and left og fans with a bad taste in their mouths while also leaving new fans surprised with the amount of laziness and lack of creativity.

@@NotRJ001because he’s a marveltard and single handily destroying DC..

It would be nice for another dc lego game or maybe dc vs marvel crossover Lego game.
I’m sick of Lego games
@@gizmonovack haven’t we gotten like very little? I like them because you know.. what’s not to like?
Just found this channel and gotta support my people! I just want another Arkham Knight game...I have beaten it at least 15 times & we deserve another classic series. Keep up the good work bro
Much appreciated!
This is the direct result of going woke. Soon WB won’t even exist.
Literally the exact opposite of this. WB has been in debt for years. Nobody outside of the internet cares about the culture war
@dellsan985 It's not dishonest it's an undeniable fact. WB has been having major financial problems since before the term 'woke' was even being used as an insult. DEI has 0 percent to do with their problems. If you disagre, feel free to explain what DEI has to do with them losing the NBA, which is the thing that hurt them the most recently. In fact, the people who you're calling 'woke' were trying to cancel the new CEO of WBD because he nuked a bunch of projects like Batgirl, which had a lot of diversity, for tax reasons lmao.
And no the culture warriors on both sides make up a tiny percentage of the gamers. That's just cope the grifters feed their audience to make them think they're making a difference in order to get them to donate. The best example of this is the fact Suicide Squad, which was labeled as woke DEI trash leading up to its launch, outsold Stellar Blade, which was supposed to the huge new anti-woke game that brought sexy women back.
Oh brother. You people have brainrot. This is a direct result of DC having nothing to offer but Batman for a million years. You Russian bots need to let this topic die.
That proves my point. If Suicide Squad outsold Stellar Blade despite all the bad press and anti-woke campaigns, but Concord tanked, it means culture warriors don't have a major impact on sales. It's all about the quality of the game. Concord was a dated mediocre hero shooter with a $40 price point when it's competition was better and free
@@SadotTheGamer You can't say no one outside the internet cares about the culture war and then mention DEI. Stuff being woke may not be main reason for everything but it is a big factor. Even your example of Batgirl is a project rooted on DEI, they nuked it to cut their loses but it's wokeness that made them lose it in the 1st place. You even know that because of DEI there's an added cost in hiring consulting companies, plus delays and reworks when things have to be redone to meet the DEI standards, which in turn leads to unpolished games. Yes, quality is above all else but these things affect quality and you shouldn't dismiss them so easily. I've been begging for a Wolverine game for decades and was so excited about Insomniac doing it, but after SM2 and hearing who's on the Wolverine team I'm not even sure if I'll buy it until I hear reviews.
People don't even need to be aware of what DEI is to dislike what it produces, and fact is that DEI tends to produce crap, so it's not just "culture warriors" that dislike woke stuff. Also, not everyone's aware of game news or what's supposed to be woke or not until they experience it, so of course games with brand recognition from trusted studios get more sales, but that trust goes away. So while it's true that Suicide Squad sold more than Stellar Blade, Stellar Blade 2 will sell more than Suicide Squad 2. You also mentioned Concord, and to me that's the example of what would have happened to Suicide Squad without the brand recognition.
Well damn
Fired while on Paternity Leave, that's just beyond disrespectful...
The fact that a man would take Paternity leave is grounds for firing in itself as far as I'm concerned lol
@brando3342 What if there isn't a mom and he can't pay for a babysitter atm?
@@Tomha Well, yeah, there is always a rare hypothetical. However, I wouldn’t bet on that being the case, especially given the industry.
Like if you don’t like James Gunn
He’ll ruin Dc completely
@@DoomRay666 And Zaslav is letting him do it.
I trust James Gunn but if he fails then DC is doomed.
Bring back the Batman Arkham games. But don’t bring it to VR or make it a VR exclusive
I mean WB has been digging their own grave forcing the "Live Service" model and rushing everything. Let Rocksteady cook, leave MK alone and for the monitor's sake don't give us another Suicide Squad game for a while, a Red Hood focused one would be nice but the chances WB/DC treating Jason Todd right are about as high as Marvel treating Scarlet Spider "Ben Reilly" well.
WB not knowing what the gaming community wants.....that's nothing new especially when they said they're doubling down on Live Service games despite their continual losses.
When I was young I went to work for Acclaim. They had an ENORMOUS bug testing dept. They covered all consoles, PC and Mac, at the time. This was in the 90s when the gaming industry was small, was considered "for kids" and we all had our ideas stolen by any one listening. My point is? These game companies are cutting corners with the lack of testing. It is a cost cutting technique in that you get the customers to beta the game and help work out the bugs for you. This was NEVER like this previously when games were young. It just wasn't like that. Even the crappiest of Atari shovelware worked out of the box and had zero bugs. Complexity of games makes quality control (Bug testing) harder but not impossible let alone improbable. This is pure bull. They are doing it to save money meanwhile most of the games are download only. There are no further costs down the chain to bring the price up yet games are as expensive as they have always been inflation adjusted, so to know they just refuse to pay testers is disgusting. This needs to end. Companies need to know this. As gamers we can stop this by not purchasing games from companies with little or no quality control. It's that simple. I know this all started with the wide adoption of broadband. It made it easy for a programmer to insert a bug report mechanism into the game that reports back to the company whenever an issue crops up. Problem is? They can't detect everything. They simply just can't and even if they could? That should be in-house. Not on a customer's machine.
I'm starting to wonder if that is why games seem so unoptimized and run slower on release. After they are done with the bug reports and retesting they remove the code from the game and it runs even faster....making us think they optimized it meanwhile they were the reason it was slow from jump. Amazing.
As an out of work dev, it is so scary how disconnected "The People With The Money" are from their consumer base. I need a job, but my whole industry is imploding because they have no freaking idea what they're doing. ARGH!
Imagine a Batman game named "The Vengeance" based on Matt Reaves "The Batman"
I guess we can safely assume that the He-Man crossover is the official conclusion to the Injustice franchise.
Publisher demands game bound to fail, game studio reluctantly complies, game fails, publisher punishes studio for publishers decision
story of the decade😔
honestly a DCUO remake would refresh DC, it's been 13 years and I still remember that cinematic
What is sad, that the decision makers are either heads on the top or simply the stakeholders who only give money if the company does what they say, even though they don't know what sells and what doesn't. Then, not surprisingly, the game flops and the developers, QA, etc gets fired, where most of them probably does a great job, and those who were responsible for the bad decisions just keep going and repeat their mistakes.
They were on solid ground with the Arkham games. They need to figure out what went wrong with SS: KTJL before taking any more steps.
I didn't know that Concord came out already. I wasn't going to play, but still. Lol man their are some major video game financial bombs this year lol
Concord was actually just shut down today
I only play Batman Arkham series (Asylum, City and Knight), Injustice 1 and 2, Mortal Kombat vs DC, all DC Lego series so far, two Batman from Telltale and Watchmen. Haven't tried anything else from DC ever since then.
2:19 "but at least Rocksteady seams to be mostly intact"... Considering that both of Rocksteady's co-founders left their own company to form a new one during Suicide Squads development, i would say they are in free fall due to corporate miss management.
Considering the corporate mismanagement that messed up the development of Suicide Squad was directly caused by Jamie and Sefton, them leaving was an upgrade
I was exactly like that bro: "Come on maaaan!"
Well, tbh, I did expect this when the WB head honcho said we needed more live services... I just didn't expect it to be this soon. I feel sorry for the people and the families that will be affected by this nonsense... seems like the norm nowadays. And yet, WB still wants to fight against consumers over money they'll never see if they continue with this route.
Insomniac would make a great Batman Beyond game, but too bad we won't see that until the second half of PS6 era since the studio is busy with Wolverine and Spider-Man 3
So when a game becomes successful, the dev team don't get a raise. But when the higher ups tell them to make a woke game and it makes them lose money, the dev team gets fired.
If they bring back the Arkham series, they will be back on top
Not surprised after such multiple disasters and still they pushed the limits on people hating it more
It was to be expected. The studio heads left first, the rest soon to follow.
0 integrity
A bench!
They killed my boy!
On a F_cking bench!
If Rocksteady is actually working on the game they originally pitched, I really hope they can get the veteran developers of the studio back, that left due too the suicide squad game. But i doubt they'll be able to, as trust in the developers was shattered after Suicide Squad. Unfortunately, Rocksteady might go the same way as Arkane (the people who made Dishonored and Prey)
Hopefully Warner Brothers in DC can make it in the TV shows in the movies. I’m not holding my breath.
They should make question, nightwing and deathstroke
They need to do The Flash video game. Get power ups to get increased speed and use slow motion mechanics. Why doesn’t Flash get his own game?
Its Sad that for companies called Marvel Comics and DC Comics DC makes more sales in comics than Marvel but fumbles the bag on everything else and they used to destroy Marvel on video games really feeling the repercussions of one bad decision
"This is how the DC Gaming Industry died."
They fired someone on paternity leave! SOMEBODY GET GET UGO LORD ON THE LINE! THIS IS A CASE!
Id be happy with even just a Nightwing game..... Hmph.... Like a continuation of the Arkham games and retconing the ssktjl
It's sad to see. I actually enjoyed Suicide Squad, but the sheer grind to get the extra characters (I came in before Mrs. Freeze) finally squashed by drive. I'm just waiting for the offline/singleplayer patch now.
You're going to hate Injustice since you have to grind hundreds of hours on each single character just to level their levels and items up
Or spend over $250 real life bucks on "in game currency" to skip all that
This is so frustrating, uninspired and incompetent execs literally FORCE these issues to happen and disregard any advice to do otherwise and then make OTHERS suffer the consequences.
QA at the lowest on the totem pole are easily replaced unfortunately, hopefully this is all of the layoffs that occur, and hopefully rocksteady gets smart and makes a Batman beyond game everyone’s been begging for
WB : milking away Batman
Can make a horror survival game with Constantine or Raven
An open world rpg Lantern game (with custom character)
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. I was writing RIP rocksteady years ago after I heard they are making a multiplayer game. I just had no idea how garbage it would be and life service. The amount of studios that have been shut down because they shifted from great single player experiences to live service is uncountable.
Y'all need to know that Rocksteady initially only had 100 employees. That was on purpose, to keep the development more controllable. Then they were pressured into hiring more people, to around 250 to make bigger games. Hopefully, WB finally understood the mistakes and the lay off will help the company to go back to making the games that define the industry.
They could have simply played it safe and kept the idea that became Gotham Knights but actually have it follow up the events of the Arkham series!
So much potential there for a very unique storyline and experience that would've made a lot of people happy and my pants pregnant!!!
I don't know if they got the rights or not, but can they make a Bigby Wolf game?
You know the guy from the Wolf Among Us , if he can get an open world or at least linear game with combat and skill tree
That would blow many fans' minds away, and it will keep us busy until The Wolf Among Us 2 gets released
It can also rival the Wolverine game that's released by Insomniac
This is it. This is how you bake a pizza at 400 degrees for 13 to 15 minutes or golden brown
All they had to do was introduce a batman beyond game and we'd have been fine
Perhaps DC should find a way out from under WB's thumb.
Can't blame them. I mean people want a superman or flash game but man, their map covers the entire world 🤣those side quests put RDR to shame. Batman is the only hero they can realistically make a game off.
