Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Official Reveal Trailer -- "Alpha Target"

Of the two games WB showed today Rocksteady will probably have the better game. Looks to be a bit more innovative then what was shown in Gotham Knights which essentially looks like all the other Arkham games.

I'll take Gotham Knights, even though I got disappointed by the RPG combat... this one looks soulless and it has forced co-op? Even if it's not a live service game, I don't think it's gonna be good.

I would like to believe this, but I doubt that.

Developers typically state if game footage is running in-engine or realtime.

Well then the studio that made it must have had like 2 days to put it together.
Because the Assets and effects are literally videogame quality.
My guess is Rocksteady finally moved to UE4 and people are just shocked it looks so good that it must be CGI.
No currentgen version of this game.

Even the God of War trailer which was using Game Assets, the Studio making the trailer couldnt lower themselves to use the full res game assets and ended up effectively up ressing already very high quality assets because game assets are just too low quality to be used by a VFX house.

Im willing to bet my bottom dollar this is all current game assets and just an Unreal export with some spice, maybe not captured on a PS5 or XSX but its a snapshot of what the game looks like right now. (atleast whats finished).

Well for a long time, it was rumoured they were making a Superman game, in the style of the Arkham games. Ther was even a screenshot seemingly proving it.
I'm guessing that got cancelled for whatever reason, and now we are getting this.

2022 is a long way out...

Don't like the selection of characters and Harley looks crap compared to her old design.

My biggest issue is that they have the DC license and they turn it into yet another shooter!? How imaginative.../S

I reserve final judgement for after I see some significant gameplay but so far I am not too happy about the direction.

I'm sorry man, but that just sounds like wishful thinking.

They've been working on this game for years now, and with so many people online tuning in this DC Fandome event, Rocksteady would've certainly taken that opportunity just to show off how amazing their next gen game looks on next gen hardware.
The actual game likely hasn't reached a polished state, hence the disappointing lack of gameplay. So we were instead treated to a wonderfully animated CG trailer outsourced to a VFX studio like dozens of other 'AAA' studios tend to do.

cgi/story looks way better than Avengers game for sure, knowing Rocksteady the gameplay its gonna be really good.

kinda disappointed, but i can't say that i'm surprised by the outcome. I mean... i wanted to believe that Rocksteady could surpass the "hype" from the movie (2016), but it's seem too big of a deal or a suicide to make a real Suicide Squad team in 2020, that's sad. At leats, Gotham knights seems good.
 
what a terribly paced trailer. It was all over the place like they weren’t sure what they wanted to show. Not to mention it was all CGI? Btw “Boomer”?

They delayed the game for next gen. I’m pretty sure it was going to be cross gen at first. Does this mean HP moves to 2022 too?

What a bunch of fucking lame characters. Just put Harley in there and hope she sell the game that’s their plan eh?
The Superhero GAS genre got big this year and it already feels overpopulated.
Why SS? You have all these cool concepts and characters but let’s pick the most generic, cringe and normie choice possible. You already know there are going to be Blue haired Asian mentally questionable trans playable character in there.

“By the creators of Arkham series” Only reason I’m still giving this game the benefit of the doubt.

All WB games are going to be GAS. Am I correct? Well that’s a bummer.

P.S Harley looks meh? What is this trend of making characters look more realistic? Ffs Margo looks better than this. But to be fair it was CGI and it’s a minor complaint.

1. Would like to see gameplay. Tired of all of these Alpha CGI trailers!!

2. Suicide Squad has never been even a B tier comic. Not even C tier. Before the movie a few years ago, 98% of the public didn't know who they were.

Even though the Suicide Squad has been around since the 50's no one could even put them in the same ballpark as Legion of Super Heroes, Justice League of America, X-men, Avengers or Fantastic Four. Hell, Harley Quinn is the most popular and recognizable member and she didn't become a member until the 2000's. Didn't really get popular until the movie.

DC can do better than SS. Too bad they missed the boat on a good Justice League movie or even a cool Legion of Super Heroes movie or Teen Titans movie (based off of the George Perez comic).

I feel like you are arguing two different points but then again its like 2am where im at, I probably just need some sleep.

As I said if this was CGI the studio that put it together had 2 days, used game assets and a game engine to do it.
Alot of Videogame quality stuff and borderline telltake Unreal Engine 4 effects.

Not that it really matters.....its two years out, we wont even remember this trailer by the time the game is close to being released.

Is game?
Not Sony first party?
Disappointed!!

GAF gonna GAF.

Announce game too early - Hate.
Hold off announcing game - Hate.
In engine trailer - Hate.
Early gameplay - Hate.
CG Trailer - Hate.
Less than 10 on Metacritc - Hate.
Not Joel - Hate.

I think some people need to get a new hobby.....this one clearly does nothing but disappoint them.



On Topic
Its already looking pretty damn good with two years of development to go. Im ready to wait.
I never thought a day would come where I would want to play Captain Boomerang in a game unironically.
IN.



This was almost certainly not CG.
Its the engine but maybe offline.
GAF only likes two things, Joel and Samurais. Ideally in the same game
 
Surely they meant 2020, right? Rocksteady hasn't released anything of note since 2015. What have they been doing for the past 5 years?
