We can't even get them to settle on a digital release of the first two on GOG, or anywhere else.
I always really wished I liked Harry Potter but I find it so lame , so def Rocksteadys next game it's been so damn long!

You think RS is still two years out? I mean they've been hiring for promo artists since February. They should have something to show soon based off that alone, right?
They'll probably show it this year but it could still be two years away.
Ugh, WB has had some really strong games, but the rumor mill needs to leave them alone.
I am hard pressed to think of another major developer that Era gets me excited about...only to then have nothing announced....event after event. (And no, I'm not counting Mortal Kombat or Lego. Predicting those sequels in those existing engines borders on death & taxes.)

That would mean a six year dev cycle for a game that will (probably) be recycling past assets from the cancelled WB Montreal Suicide Squad game. Man that's so disappointing.
Loved the Arkham games so I'm definitely curious to see what Rocksteady has been working on for so long.
I'd like to see Harry Potter but I don't believe for one second they're showing that this year.
Suicide Squad GaaS, count on it.

Avalanche was acquired by WB in 2017, so a late 2020 or 2021 release date as a crossgen title seems plausible.
I am amped to see what the WB Montreal team can do with a decent time frame and budget.
Arkham Origins was the overall best of the Arkham games even though it was depicted as a B-tier filler game.

You are right, however sometimes studios go through a lot of projects. Harry potter may not even be a full real game could have been a tech demo or heck could have been a decline pitch that got leaked to show public interest.
I have a feeling Rocksteady's project will be 'Legion of Superheroes' as a GaaS Destiny-like. Regardless I've resigned myself to the fact that it'll probably have an off-putting business model.
I'm really interested in seeing what WB Montreal do with a new Arkham game. I'm excited about how the ideas of their cancelled projects might manifest in a Batman game (I believe their previous Batman project planned to implement Shadow of Mordor's Nemesis system). I'm excited to see what a Batman game trying to raise the graphical bar beyond Arkham Knight, and perhaps implementing the performance capture technologies of Injustice 2, would look like. I'm excited to see a Batman game developed knowing that stiff competition in the genre (with Marvel's Spider-Man) would exist.
Pretty much every permutation of what WB Montreal's Bataman game could be has me excited. It could be a smaller scale game than Knight and I'd find that exciting too.

I still think that leaked Harry Potter looked like something involving VR, I guess were wait and see.
I dunno that we're gonna see Harry Potter yet (it's clearly next gen, and next gen is seemingly 2020). But that, for sure.
...Oh dear. Now you've got me imagining a next-gen, Harry Potter, VR MMO. I don't think my heart could handle an announcement that incredible.
Why have such a robust character creator then?

There's definitely potential in the idea, but I think if they're making anything but Superman or Justice League people are going to lose their minds.
I would love to see the Harry Potter game, but I have a feeling that is pretty far down the road.
It's always possible it won't come out, but no reason to assume that it won't at this stage.

I'm most excited about the Harry Potter RPG. It's been so many years since I've enjoyed a good Harry Potter game (Chamber of Secrets) and I'm hopeful this is going to work very well. Since this has not been so long in development yet, I'm not exactly expecting it this E3 but it would be a welcomed addition to the lineup.
Second place, Rocksteady's new game. Even though it's GaaS and I'm not super interested in that kind of games, I'll wait and see what Rocksteady can make of it.

Rocksteady if it's batman, anything else will just disappoint me. Also that Harry Potter game looked damn good for a next gen game.
Singleplayer games can be GaaS too....Infact most of them are already.
So you're telling me that Rocksteady threw out nearly an entire year's worth of work in order to pick up WB Montreal's cancelled Suicide Squad project? That sure is one hell of a head scratcher if you ask me.
I just don't see this happening unless WB absolutely NEEDS to get a Suicide Squad game out there. Who knows, it may very well end up being WB's answer to Borderlands. I'd however be a bit disappointed if after 4+ years of silence, Rocksteady's big project turned out to be just another 3rd person looter.
If WB is so desperate for a villain line-up, I'd rather Rocksteady take on the Injustice concept and develop an open world co-op action RPG based off those characters. Now that would be awesome.

Rocksteady silence worries me that they've gone back to formula a couple times. Focusing on Gaas is not the hot ticket it was a couple years ago and WB properties seem a mess at the moment.
GaaS can be single player only, and most singleplayer games are GaaS. Stop misusing the term.
I don't understand why people keep using it as a negative.
Insider info or educated guess? I was just guessing given Rocksteady's track reckord of not revealing their games at E3.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there Suicide Squad members who actually don't use guns? I'm pretty sure there are variations of the team that include Killer Frost, King Shark, Professor Zoom, etc and those characters certainly wouldn't use guns. How do you think "loot" would work for those? Unless of course, the team was compromised of just Deathstroke, Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Rick Flag, etc (typical gun wielding villains).

Rocksteady sounds like they are doing Teen Titans or something.
WB Montreal sounds like a continuation of Batman. I want that.
