meh

 

[SLB1904]

meh

You watch that quick

Edit: nvm the gameplay looks terrible

 

[AX8]

It looks so slow
Avengers 2.0 here we come

 

[ComputerBlue]

Combat looks so slow and mediocre compared to Arkham.

 

[retsof624]

Tf happened? It looked more interesting when they first showed it

 

[DJTaurus]

Graphics are even worse compared to ps4/Xbox one games. Wtf is this ?

 

[Pagusas]

I wish someone new would take over batman games, I'm so tired of the Rocksteady/Monreal developed aesthetics they made for this series, always looks look dude bro batman jank with a stereotypical Unreal engine gloss. I would love to see the license go to a team that built out a beautiful aesthetic and world, dropped this ugly universe and gave us something fresh.

 

[VinnyMac]

Lol skipped last Gen

Showed a game that looks last Gen

 

[PJX]

Is Netherealm providing the animation? It looks so slow and stiff.

 

[Verydeadpool]

Stick it on gamepass looks pish

 

[Damien Crowley]

WB Montreal is, what happened. The sole perpetrator for healing me from preordering anything ever again.

 

[Kadve]

Any words whether this is going to be another GAAS? The fact that they haven't revealed anything else about the story than "Batman is gone. Now its up to you to defend Gotham" is worrying.

Makes no sense...I guess it helps them avoid having to patch last gens terrible performance like cyberpunk tho.

 

[STARSBarry]

"It can't be that bad"

*watches video*

Oh, so its pretty bad...

 

[Valedix]

The 10fps with the boss fight lol

 

[LordCBH]

WB Montreal went from Arkham Origins to this. It’s evolving, just backwards.

No come on. It looks great. The city looks so much better. The gameplay on other hand

 

[odhiex]

Not really impressive, but looks okay, I guess.

 

[SJRB]

I really want to like this but man, that was not good.

- the graphics look not even remotely as good as Arkham Knight did and that came out SEVEN years ago
- the city looks dead
- the combat looks slow, stiff and boring
- the traversal looks terrible. A glider that spawns out of thin air, really? Jump-stepping on your soul residue or whatever, REALLY?
- goofy health and ammo popups
- that cutscene in the Bellfry, what the hell was that?


Plus my personal gripe that I really, REALLY don't care about any of these playable characters. Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood, I don't give a shit.

 

[Ghost of Johto]

Looks like a fun "mid" game...7/10 that can be an 8/10 with friends.

EDIT:

This jason todd design is cringe inducing.

Compare it to Arkham Knight and then come back lmao
this has bargain bin written all over it

 

[Solidsnake_1]

last-gen Arkham Knight looks better than this !

 

[ahtlas7]

Spider-Man meet Crackdown…

 

[balls of snow]

So other than 4 player coop. Whats so next gen about this.

 

[Thirty7ven]

This industry is in the gutter.

 

[Tg89]

that gameplay looks awful. my god.

 

[SLB1904]

no you compare to arkhan knight, that is one of my favorite games ever, and i can say for sure it doesnt look better than this. again im not comparing the quality of the game tho

also this is in 1080p

 

[chromhound]

They made it worse huh...

You may need glasses or new ones

 

[Shmunter]

I just don’t get it. People would eat up a proper technically impressive Batman game, but instead they decide on this.

That's how grown up Jason looks in the Comic though.

 

[Damien Crowley]

Spider-Man meet Crackhouse…

Ftfy

 

[shubik]

yeah, that looked rough. Animations are rather stiff and I can't believe how bad and uncool the traversal looks. The city looks completely empty and lifeless. What the fuck are they doing the whole time?

 

[AJUMP23]

The movement in battles looks stiff. Doesn't make the game good or bad, but it just looks kind of lame overall

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Gameplay looks bad, and the dialogues are hilariously terrible. Why writers nowadays think every superhero character needs to make jokes every two seconds, in both movies and games? This is bad. Also, even ignoring the jokes, they just talk too much. It reminds me of Forspoken.

that’s just what he looks like. he’s just a guy.

 

[Kacho]

Eh...I dunno. Need to see more. I'm a sucker for DC games in general but the gear score crap and questionable looking combat worries me.

 

[smart_brazileiro]

Wow. That looks really visually dated and boring as fuck. You just know they made this game just to sell overpriced skins. Hard pass.

 

[Damien Crowley]

Another thing: Those distances between the goons on the roof, that's MMO-distance... and writing this... the whole vibe this game gives, is "DC Universe" but more like "DC UniWorse"...

 

[MiguelItUp]

Wow, this looks goddamn bland. I wasn't entirely blown away by the original gameplay they showed, but this somehow looks even worse across the board. If I ever check this out, it certainly won't be close to launch, so I can nab it on the cheap. Shame.

Also, looking at the new footage I'm shocked it's not for previous gen, because it definitely looks dated.

Well, I assume this will be up on Ps+ premium to try out so common Joe can chime in

[Valt7786]

Yeah that did not look great :/ Either it's "Alpha" gameplay or they dropped the ball hard. Going on about going "next gen" only and then showing a video that looks like that AND had frame drops during that Owl fight at the end? Yeesh :/
And whoever's playing it either has one hand or it's clunky as fuck.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

"Gotham Knights is skipping last gen consoles and will only be available on PS5, XSX/S and PC"

Yet it looks like a PS4 game, go figure. Not impressed.
