Great decision

 

[Kadve]

Good. They're holding current consoles back.

 

[DarkMage619]

Neato should make it an ever better experience. I thought I heard it would have more simultaneous players now too. That would make it even more fun.

 

[FunkMiller]

Actual current gen only games?

 

[DonJorginho]

Fantastic news, it's time we put these specs to use and stop using tech that was already dated upon release.

 

[AX8]

Game looks mid af can't wait for it to bomb

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Cancelling last-gen versions isn't going to turn this into a next-gen game.

 

[STARSBarry]

 

[I'm nobody]

Just seen 13 min gameplay looks meh

 

[anthony2690]

Props to Warner brothers, they have the balls to cancel older gen versions of games.

They did the same with mkx on Xbox 360.

Cancelling last-gen versions isn't going to turn this into a next-gen game.

But it should allow implementation of things like 4 player co-op that may not have been possible due to last gen limitations on the engine.

They should cancel the entire game it looks awful, this is Avengers 2.0 waiting to happen. What a shame.

I'm about to check it now haha.

 

[ahtlas7]

A month later it releases on last gen consoles.

 

[LordCBH]

I assume they did this because the gameplay video looked like a slideshow in parts.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Based. Old gen must die.

 

[sircaw]

Brave decision but the right one i think.

Hopefully, it will sell well, the loss of sales from the previous versions must be alot.

 

[Shmunter]

Slow clap.

But still rooted in last gen even if it got away from them.

 

[AX8]

It looks last gen in both graphics and gameplay

 

[dotnotbot]

I've got bad news for everyone thinking this means next-gen look.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Not that I care, but the game doesn't look like "next-gen", so I think it could (and should) be released on PS4/XBO so more people could play it if they want without spending money on unnecessary hardware.

And a little criticism about the game itself... the characters talk too much, and most (if not all) their jokes are trash. I hate this trend.

 

[nani17]

Good move

 

[rodrigolfp]

Because it's not a next-gen game. It's current gen.

 

[AX8]

Because it's not a next-gen game. It's current gen.

Looks like it's stuck in the PS3 gen tbh

 

[OmegaSupreme]

 

[MiguelItUp]

While I can't say I'm woo'd by the new gameplay they revealed, it IS cool to see this being done.

 

[anthony2690]

Watched the gameplay, it wasn't particularly very exciting.

I loved Arkham Knight, and hopefully this turns out decent, but Red Hood looks just beyond dull to play

I'll probably check out more stuff related to the game closer to release.

 

[Salz01]

Great news. I don’t think it will look better because of the decision because it would’ve needed to be designed ground up for current gen. But hopefully other publishers follow suit and remain profitable as more people get their hands on current hardware.

 

[ParaSeoul]

Of all the game to get the next gen exclusive treatment,its this shit.

 

[Denton]

All developers should do this. Put them outta their misery. Shame CDP didn't have the balls to do that two years ago already.

 

[onnextflix5]

A bit too late to make much deference, should have done it last year. The game looks stupid anyways, should have just made robin only game, as multi character games are rarely any good.

 

[Fbh]

Well there's goes a game I was planning on buying this year.
I guess this frees up $60 for something else.

 

[TexMex]

Good. Hope it becomes a trend.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

Cancelling last-gen versions isn't going to turn this into a next-gen game.

They probably want to charge $70. That is probably the real reason they cut last gen

 

[SeriousCrayon]

based on the gameplay video they released today they should just keep it last gen...that was painful to watch

 

[Shmunter]

IGN has 4k footage now…presents much better, but still 30fps.

 

[jaysius]

Too bad the game is a GaaS, super spongey enemies 3-4 different dumb currencies for worthless loot grind. Some of the animations look off too. It's funny that they disabled the numbers popping up in this video, but it makes the sponginess even worse.

In that gameplay there's no BLOOD, what the fuck!?!

Nightwing is awful looking, the combat and the "ping ponging around" fucking awful.

"Enemy Armored attacks" that's GaaS speak.

What they've shown of the UI is awful and generic looking so far.

This game should have come out years ago, it's so dated looking.

 

[spartan30gr]

Fuck you warner bross
Fuck you and your GasS games
I hope they cancel this shit

 

[Kacho]

I don't think it looks nearly as bad as some are claiming. Just need more details on the co-op and loot features. That's the most concerning stuff to me since I play these games single player.

 

[Negotiator101]

It's clear looking at this and every superhero game since, that the Arkham series have influenced every developer who has made a superhero game, but none have done it better.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Did they mention cross-play?

 

[Romulus]

Yet they showed what happened to be ps4 footage lol

 

[Rockman33]

Cancelling last-gen versions isn't going to turn this into a next-gen game.

No, but it will not waste the developers time to try and optimize it for last gen. Giving them more time to optimize current gen. That’s a win.

 

[AJUMP23]

Cool.

 

[Ristifer]

I don't think it looks all that great, but I'll still give it a chance. However, there are some people with strange hate boners for WB in these threads. Must've kidnapped their families or something.

It's okay to call out trash

 

[Hayabusabruh]

I'll wait to see it on my tv before I snap at you guys for being negative. I liked what I saw, but I was watching on my phone.

 

[Nico_D]

Umm. That didn't look good. I understand it is work in progress but animation wasn't good, the change from movement to fight animation was noticeable.

Besides that, I played that game four times before - the previous Batman games. Seems to me there's not much new. It just looks and feels old already.

So far, pass. But to be honest, I wasn't that excited about it in the first place.

 

[DarkMage619]

But it should allow implementation of things like 4 player co-op that may not have been possible due to last gen limitations on the engine.

I'd like to see people identify what makes a game next gen anyway. Things like 4 player co-op seem more important than higher resolutions and slightly better graphics.
