What should Rocksteady do next? (Poll)

[est1992]

All this talk about Suicide Squad and Rocksteady's potential doom has me wondering, what do you guys think they should do next? Assuming they don't get shut down (I think they're too valuable to WB for that anyway), what would you like to see?

FYI: All WB studios have to work on WB IP's.

 

[Lifejumper]

Arkham Reboot.

 

[Ezroz]

Assuming they get another chance, it would be nice for them to do that leaked Arkham future game.

But truthfully, I assume they will just get assigned to another GAAS title before getting canned. I would have voted for that if it was an option

I mean technically it is an option, I was just going based on IP lol

 

[Reckheim]

I'd ask them to make a smaller game using an existing IP. See how they do; let them be creative instead of having to have high expectations (production value wise)

 

[dex3108]

They should pray that Zaslav doesn't do what he does best.

 

[AzorAhai]

Asylum > City > Knight to me so definitely another DC hero. Surprised at the results.

 

[Protagonist]

Batman Beyond. Or Batman: Gotham by Gaslight.

 

[Mivey]

I think they should spent another decade working on Suicide Squad. We should let them cook, I'm sure they can still turn things around

 

[Marengo]

The safe money is another Batman game

 

[Uzumaki Goku]

I don't know...

Assuming they get another chance.

I'm for moving away from Batman as the expectations are going to be crazy high and really the story was told in their trilogy. I would love to see a different DC hero and maybe not try to make it a GaaS this time. The characterization and game play in Suicide Squad is solid, it just didn't have the legs to support an ongoing experience.

 

[zombiejames]

None of those options matter if the genre is trash. As long as it's not a GaaS looter shooter nightmare, they can pick whatever character they want.

 

[Cathode Ray]

Honestly this is one situation where I think it would be prudent not to overthink things. Give the people Batman.

 

[Tabby]

Please for the love of god just move the hell on from Batman. There's literally an entire universe of characters.

 

[cowbanana]

They should probably try Suicide Squad again, I feel there's potential for it to stick this time.

 

[est1992]

If they did move on from Batman and DC I think Matrix would be a good fit

of course hes fast, he looks like hes about to shit his pants

 

[HellofaMouse]

The studio that made arkham games doesnt exist anymore.

That said, as long as their next games not gass, ill be willing to check it out

 

[ArcticWolf]

Challengers of the Unknown Survival Horror game.

Same here. I don't know if they are the right studio for it but a lower budget game based on the Harley Quinn cartoon sounds great to me.

Honestly I genuinely think "layoffs/studio closure" is probably the most likely next thing for Rocksteady :/

 

[dusan]

Play it safe with an Batman Arkham game. Take back your reputation.

 

[Mindwipe]

I suspect if they want to survive they should do a quick remaster of the existing Batman titles that would generate a bunch of money fast.

 

[AgentLampshade]

Batman Beyond was the obvious choice way back when. Not anymore now that they've shat the bed with the universe. I dunno. That Ninja Turtles thing that was rumoured years and years ago?

 

[Genesius]

Solid chance they're going to become a HP studio.

I expect layoffs before a closure. They made the Arkham games with half the staff they have now, so they'll be able to still make something.

 

[SageShinigami]

The only thing people want from them is another Batman game. So unless they're certain they can nail something else, they should just do that.

 

[mjc]

Solid chance they're going to become a HP studio.

This is honestly the most likely scenario.

 

[Sagroth]

I don't really care which IP they tackle next. I just want it to be a single player game and not a GaaS disaster. If it's the latter, it doesn't make a damn bit of difference what the IP is.

 

[Vito]

Arkham remakes.

 

[CloseTalker]

a new Batman Arkham, gotta play it safe and just focus on making a strong game

 

[Fisty]

Matrix game dammit. Monolith broke my heart when they announced Wonder Woman, let me dream

 

[y2kyle89]

Solid chance they're going to become a HP studio.

Let's split the difference and have them make a Zatanna game

 

[404LinkNotFound]

Ill be shocked if they survive the year

 

[Moebius]

A single player game that everyone wants. No one wants live service.

 

[Santar]

Suicide Squad Battle Royale.

 

[Mr. President]

Batman Beyond, with Terry not Damian.

 

[tim1138]

Pray they don't get shuttered

 

[Rosebud]

Superman, but this will never happen so Batman

 

[Tbm24]

New IP please and thank you.

 

[SnipeyMcGee]

Given the long development time for the Suicide Squad and how it turned it, I think they're essentially a different studio than they were (Ship of Theseus) before the project began. I don't want anything Batman/DC from 'Rocksteady in-workplace-name-only' if Suicide Squad is any indication of their ability. I'd rather they do something smaller and different.

 

[Kazooie]

A GaaP - Game as a Product. I would be happy about a new Batman Arkham.

 

[Neonep]

Batman Beyond, with Terry not Damian.

Click to shrink...

Yep.

 

[ratprophet]

As others have said I'd love to see what they could do with the Matrix.

Or something Hanna-Barbera - Scoobs, Jonny Quest or Wacky Races.

Maybe a The Mask game would be cool.

 

[PS_Snake]

Haven't most of the actual people who founded and made Rocksteady, Rocksteady gone already? Pretty sure a lot of them bailed before Suicide Squad launched.

 

[Samoan]

I genuinely don't care about the Ip tackled. I just want to see the studio go back to single player action adventures like the Arkham series.

 

[UraMallas]

I would personally like a new video game IP but it seems like a pretty big longshot at this point.

 

[Anth0ny]

The world needs Batman.
