Check out the first official look at 4-player Co-op Gameplay for Suicide Squad in this exclusive Sony State of Play trailer as Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, and King Shark combine their unique traversal abilities, gunplay, melee, tactics, and teamwork to face off against waves of Brainiac's corrupted soldiers and take down a huge techno-organic artillery gun that has been phased into Metropolis.

+ Traversal (!!)
+ Metropolis
+ Story looks interesting
+ Co-op antics could be really fun
- Battle Pass
- Gear Score
- Weapons sound like NERF guns
- Shooting purple orbs
- Never-ending forever game (not really a fan of these to be totally frank but more power to you if you are!)

Bit torn, honestly. It looks solid (presentation is impeccable as to be expected) but a live-service always-online game is not the sort of thing you'd think Rocksteady of all studios would be behind. I won't be surprised if this is a sleeper hit as long as it doesn't shit the bed come launch but I'd have rather they'd be given the chance to make something entirely new in the time between Arkham Knight/Arkham VR and now. Or maybe a Superman game had WB not turned down their pitch. 🚶‍♂️

Will pick it up on sale though, hopefully it doesn't die before then.

Deadshot doesn't really feel like Deadshot until you manage to grind for the super duper legendary exotic rifle

what an awful showing, it took 8 years for this and it's just stuck all the most annoying trends in recent years into a superhero game

Can't wait to see this bomb even harder than Avengers. It looks agressively mediocre. And everyone is flying.

It's such a shame, because the graphics and lighting are excellent (as you'd expect from Rocksteady) but the gameplay looks so bland.

This looks like a fun co-op game but doesn't look like I'll live up to the expectations we all had

The mobility options and verticality is selling me a lot more on this game as someone who has no real attachment to Rocksteady's oeuvre. Harley Quinn in particular looks really fun.

WB Montreal BTFO. Right up until the last moments WB Montreal was cagey about whether they'd be able to do DLC for Gotham Knights. In the end you just got that Heroic Assault tower and nothing else. Rocksteady jumped out the gate like "Yup, we're doing DLC and a season pass." One of these games was clearly more important than the other from the jump.

I cannot believe how terrible the trailer was.

It was "Shoot the purple orb weakpoint" EVERY 5 seconds. Reminiscent of old zelda bosses where you hit the eye a few times...except that was every enemy artillery or boss. WTF?

This game looks terrible, and thats aside from the battle pass and in-game store. Reeks of a game upper management made talented devs develop. This games development story has got to be interesting.

I trust Rocksteady. I'm not into customization or RPG stuff... but the combat looks fun.. and they don't throw alot of hud stuff in your face (I hate damage #s).

I think this is a potential GOTY and nothing I saw dissuades me from that perspective. Casuals are not going to complain about the things Resetera takes issue with.

Sigh. Remember how bad ass the Arkham Knight E3 reveal was?

Guess those days are gone.

Cross-posting from the SOP thread, but I suspect this game's development started back in the mid/late 2010s - when WB/DC were trying to give the Suicide Squad a major push to grab some of that Guardians of the Galaxy audience.

But then the movies landed without much fanfare and the property never really took off in a big way. Now Rocksteady have been stuck making a game based on an IP that has failed to generate any real hype, leaving everyone wondering why the hell we couldn't have gotten a game based on any other of DC's more notable characters, much less Batman.

That said, I'm willing to give the game a shot simply because I'm a DC nerd. I'm just hoping it's the kind of game that just doesn't demo well.

This game would have looked a lot more interesting if they actually showed boss fight footage that looked competent against the Justice League.

The footage shown just looks very similar to a bunch of other games.

I can't remember the last time a reveal disappointed me this much. 8 years and abandoning the Arkham series for a fucking bland co-op looter shooter. This has almost the exact same sales pitch as Gotham Knights

What a catastrophic miscalculation. This feels like a fundamental misreading of why people enjoyed the Arkham games. The only explanation I can think of is that this game has been in development for so long that it once felt like a no-brainer idea, but during the extended development period the market trends changed and now it feels tragically out of touch.

At least the Avengers game cast played differently.
Everyone in this is literally just jumping and shooting, that's such a waste.

This reeks of an out-of-touch exec at the top of WB, who got their job via nepotism, watching how much his kid spends on Destiny and demanding Rocksteady try to imitate it regardless of whether or not it makes sense.

BioWare, Cystal Dynamics, WB Montreal, and now Rocksteady. Damn.
