Rocksteady is making a Batman Beyond game set after Arkham Knight, and is considered a soft reboot of the franchise with a new lead. They picked up the original concept they had before they cancelled it for Suicide Squad. The original had Damien Wayne as Batman Beyond, but now they've scrapped that and made it Terry McGinnis instead, which was Paul Dini's choice as he is writing for this game. Game is still early in development and I don't have much info on it yet besides that the game seems to be an adaptation of the animated series story with elderly Bruce Wayne and Blight as the main villain, with a custom Nemesis System (From Shadow of War/Mordor) villain as his right hand man/woman.Game is your typical Arkham game, but isn't set in one night like the others. And it is less futuristic than the Animated Series (Think Cyberpunk 2077 rather than flying cars and full on sci-fi, with some parts of Gotham still looking old and non-futuristic).The images I'm posting here are from a dev build of a year ago from my source, which I've re-generated with AI in order to hide any hidden watermarks that could get my sources in trouble.

schway
Terry’s either black or gender swapped. Pass.
>We will only do literally what everyone wants after we've exhausted every other shitty corporate idea we have and when its probably already too late>If it fails we can just shrug our shoulders and say "WELL WE TRIED"It's all so tiresome
>>738650210I don't know, I feel like even Warner Bros have to be tired of losing money at some point. Who knows, they always find ways to surprise me
>>738650091rocksteady still exists?
>>738650091>nemesis systemtoo good to be true, I also have zero hopes for the writing, arkham knight had shitty writing already
>>738650210And it is probably gonna be made on Unreal 5, but to be fair the previous Arkham games were Unreal games too. The optimization is going to be dogshit and it'll look worse than Arkham Knight if Suicide Squad is anything to go by.
>>738650113>>738650091I recognize that billboard from AK, and the UI from Suicide Squad. This might be legit? Reusing game assets are common in developing sequels
>>738650091Unless they purged the entire company of w*men and non-gamers, I have 0 faith for this game
>>738650091the retractable wings for gliding hanging off his back like a cape is kind ofa kino look for batman beyond ngl certainly makes me glad theyre not going for the shitty futuristic armor from arkham knight
>>738650308paul dini was always a faggot and shit at writing batman
>>738650308Weren't they gonna use the Nemesis system in the canned Wonder Woman game? seems believable if warner bros have this patented under lock and key i dont believe they'd leave such a feature like contained forever
>blackrocksteadyno thanks
>>738650113>here's that cyberpunk city was telling to you about
>>738650091no hot chicks, no buy
>>738650091>nemesis systemMe buy
>>738650210Isn't Terry already Asian? Or half.
Holy shit, Cyberbat kino incoming?
Mildly hopeful
>>738650941Is this a real movie? I don't remember seeing any news about it
I'm so sick of capeshit
Wich rocksteady are we talking about ?I'm asking because the only one that mattered is basically fully disbanded.Current rocksteady is unable to produce anything of worth even if they tried.Not a single person working there has any talent or motivation to make a good game.
Doubt they can bring back the aesthetics of pre suicide slop games.
>>738651034Short movie, prolly a pitch. Unfortunately stupid execs didn't give a shit to pick it up
>>738650091> which I've re-generated with AI in order to hide any hidden watermarks that could get my sources in trouble."Yea, my leak looks like a shitty AI gen - but its supposed to, for my own protection!" What a devious ploy
>>738650834FFS how hard can it be to make a DENSE GIGANTIC motherfucking city? Just take a look at Nobody wants to die and do that but on a larger open world scale. Simple
>>738650091Let´s entertain the idea that this is true for a second (yes, i see the images but you can´t really trust any of that anymore so i won´t believe shit until i get a proper source for the information. I´m just entertaining the idea for the sake of discussion) i´d say it´s not the worst idea to go back to arkham (pun intended) but only if done with the same spirit and care the original was made (which means bring in the people that made the original Beyond show in the same way Arkham brought in Batman TAS talent) except you can´t do that right? Conroy is dead after all and Bruce and Terry relationship was at the core of Beyond. I fell lighting just won´t strike on the same place twice even though, objectively speaking, the concept and idea seem like a solid enough way to keep the IP going.
>>738651343This game any good?
>Rocksteady is makingThey're not Rocksteady. They kicked out the people who worked hard for the studio so they shouldn't have the right to use the name.
>>738650091>Paul Dini's choice as he is writing for this game.I have no faith in Rocksteady anymore, it's a zombie studio now but I do have faith in Paul Dini.
>>738651475You didn't find the story to Arkham City a bit convoluted?
>>738651343Man i liked the aesthetic of this game but skipped it because it was fully first person.
>>738650113>XP Well, probably skipping this one too.
>>738650091>Paul Dini's choice as he is writing for this game.If any of the OP larp is true, I hope he writes the most scathing jokes that laugh at how fucking terrible the plot for Arkham Knight is.
>>738651430The game kinda sucks but it's short and the atmosphere is kino. The city and vibes are what CP2077 should have been
>>738651497No, I liked it overall, the Hugo Strange story line was rushed in the end, kind of makes protocol 10 look like a nothing burger
>>738651564??? You gain XP in all games
>>738651408how much input did conroy had as a VA? I rather they bring the writers into it
>>738650091Most of the competent devs already left. So I have no hope
OP, if you aren't lying, post another picture
>>738651778I vaguely remember the writers for Arkham Asylum saying Conroy would object a line he doesn't like because (his) Batman wouldn't say it, and they'd alter it in old interviews/promotional material.Whether that was true or lip service, is up to you to decide.
>Still no Superman gameIt is all so tiresome.
>>738651778He did have some degree, he had been voicing Batman since the 90s
>>738651940Fuck Superman.
>>738650091>a Batman Beyond game set after Arkham KnightA story that's set when Bruce Wayne is 80 fucking years old takes place AFTER Arkham Knight? You don't say!
>cyberpunkI just want a gotham by gaslight game damn it. Arkham games work best with grimy noir settings and not high tech dog shit.
>>738650936Didn't watch a whole lot of Beyond but isn't he a clone of Bruce?
>>738650091Even if this is true how does this work? So Suicide Squad happened? Are we pretending it didn't? How would a Nemesis system even work unless you are also recruiting these people? I'm all for this even if the suit's gonna look ridiculous as shown in their attempts at it in the previous games, but at the same time I don't understand how it would work out considering Suicide Squad seemed like they were trying a lot of ideas there.
>>738650091neat, why would they make it be bitch ass damien instead of Terry? I'm sure most of the demo playing the game prefer terry
yum yum love me some unreal5
>>738652138>Suicide Squad happened? Are we pretending it didn't?Who cares. Nobody that matters except Wonder Woman died in Suicide Squad.
>>738650936>>738652109Terry's dad was white preretcon and bruce post retcon. his mom has red hair so unless she's a readheaded female chinaman he's white
>>738652214It's more that a bunch of stuff happened during it. I know they did whatever with the story to imply only their clones died but there's no way they don't acknowledge it or follow up on random characters like Freeze or Penguin in it, especially if they Return of the Joker one of them.
>>738652109Amanda Waller injected Terry's father with Bruce's semen so that Terry's mom could get pregnant with Bruce's baby juice, so yes
>>738652302Sounds like it could be easily handwaved away with "amanda blew their heads off off screen"
>>738650091Unless the old crew that made the first 3 Batman games are coming back, you don't want another Arkham game by current Rocksteady.
>>738652334
>>738652242>>738652334In that case making him black sounds hilarious actually>I be vengeance nigga>I'm black as the night>We wuz batman n shiet
>>738651758NTA but I played it recently and I agree entirely. The open world sort of nature and the pacing you get from that killed that storyline. It didn't felt urgent at all. Dunno how to fix, though. It's a real issue in every game that has this type of context of You Must Do X Urgently Or Else, and then you take your time. Also the asspull in the end was kind of forced, too.
>>738652482It's completely fucked up. Pure narcissist move by Batman. There's no need for another Batman in Gotham and if he in 50 years of crimefighting didn't fix that God forsaken city, then he should admit the project failed and someone else should take arms. Granted, this was before the whole Barbatos thing, now the city is cursed/haunted forever and there will always be awful stuff happening in it. I guess they had to come up with some sort of excuse, right? Otherwise it wouldn't make sense how Gotham manages to be always such cursed land.
>>738650210People are going to flip their shit if Max is in the game at all.
>>738652107Based and correct.
>>738652482It's funny folk call this a retcon when Terry and his brother's hair aren't the same as either of their parents (the divorce being because his father thought his mother was cheating on him).
>>738652214>Nobody that matters except Wonder WomanSo nobody matters died
>>738654832I remember wonder woman being cool, did everything after the justice league cartoon destroy her reputation that much? I saw her fighting some evil counterpart and ww does a sick wrestling combo on her ass
>>738650091>Modern Rocksteady Could not care less
>>738655339She's typically Superman's lap dog now, the DCEU movies were initially fine but the second movie made her into a girlboss, the Suicide Squad version took the spotlight from Bruce, and generally she's all over the place if people like her or not nowadays.
>>738650091arr rook the same
>>738650091suicide squad was quite a scare from rocksteady so I'll keep my expectations pretty low but not rock bottom.
>>738650091nowadays when devs pander to fans and deliever what was asked decades ago its usually shit and just a hail mary to save the company
>>738650091>modern RocksteadyNo thanks
>>738650091AI and its consequences have been a disaster for game leaks
>>738653040>Pure narcissist move by Batman.To be fair, Batman didn't do it, Waller did.>>738654308It's funny that the writers thought that Terry's dad being cucked by science made more sense than "Terry's mom was a bit naughty" or even just "hair dye lol".
God I wish we could get a good Batman Beyond game and a good Spider-Man Noir gameBut instead they're going to have Inque be played by DEBRA FUCKING WILSON and it's going to be ASS
>>738657160>and a good Spider-Man Noir gameWe already got that.
>>738657512this was such a disappointment after web of shadows
>>738652107The studio that made FEAR 3 was making one but it got canceled when THQ went bankrupt.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMDhav3VFXo
>>738656772>To be fair, Batman didn't do it, Waller did.I didn't remember that at all. Thanks
Do you have any proof you didn't just fake these or do we "have to take your word for it"?
>>738650091>which was Paul Dini's choice as he is writing for this game.Sounds like bullshit. Dini left after City. Why would he have been writing a sequel for Knight?
>>738658251Pay
>>738651885Here you go. Still has a filter over it for obvious reasons.>>738651338I'm the one who made this thread. You have to bear in mind that using a filter of AI over game leaks has become standard now and only possible now due to AI being a thing. Screenshotting these images gets logged, and so does taking a photo which has invisible watermarks not visible to the naked eye, which can still be visible to a camera. Hiding the build watermarks isn't enough. If you have Telegram or Snapchat, I can send you what the real images look like but I'll still black out the dev build watermarks for obvious reasons.>>738652138Suicide Squad is retconned and happened in an offshoot universe of Arkham. They want to broom that game as quickly and quietly as possible.>>738652109He isn't a clone or related to Batman in any way in this universe. He is a random street kid that gets recruited by elderly Bruce Wayne. The entire game is about finding your way as a new Batman. They needed a way to justify making a fresh new game that pushes the plot forward while making all the old abilities and features from the previous games earnable again, which is only possible with a new main character.>>738658164You'll just have to wait when the game is revealed in 2 years or so.
>>738650113>Terry McGinnisWho?>Blight Literally who?
>>738650113>directx: twelve>nanite: enabled>lumen raytracing: onyep it's gaming time
>>738650284I disagree. They've done it for 8 years striaght so they clearly love it.
>>738650091>Rocksteady is making a Batman Beyond gameDidn't read the rest.Rocksteady can rest in piss.
At best, this will be something like Halo Infinite or Rise of Skywalker. I.e. a pathetic, backpedaling, simpering, pandering, too-little-too-late apology. If Rocksteady isn't permanently, irreversibly dead to you, you're a retard
>>738658367Ok this actually looks sorta legit. Still skeptical, but this has went up a tier in believability to me
>>738650091Will it contain a remix of the kickass intro song?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WS1s3T-rnFU
>>738658367>If you have Telegram or Snapchat, I can send you what the real images look like but I'll still black out the dev build watermarks for obvious reasonsNTA but, sure, fuck itTelegram:@brucewayne4chan
>>738657512Eh, the Noir stuff is pretty primitive and the boss fights were assGive me a big 1930s New York to swing around in
Will the game have customizable batsuits or vehicles?
>>738658367HON HON HON BURGET
>>738659215I don't know.>>738660265One who made this thread here again. I'm not too sure about those but there is evidence those two will be in the game because I've seen concept art of the game that had Terry on a bike as a street kid, and then there was concept art of what I assume is Terry wearing a version of the Arkham City batsuit. The only reason I don't think this is OG Batman is because the concept art had futuristic environments around this Batman, and the Batman in that art looked like he visibly didn't fit in the suit, so it has to be Terry. This means that at least you won't look the same throughout the entire game.
>>738650091>batman beyond>nemesis system>ai generatedOP you are so full of shit that you couldn’t even make your LARP sound legit by remembering that the Batman Beyond concept wasn’t originally Rocksteady’s but WB Montreal’s. Rocksteady was put on Suicide Squad almost immediately after finishing Arkham Knight.
>>738660805And why is it unbelieveable that they can't work on the project WB montreal were working on?
>>738650091It fucking well BETTER be Terry, and the flight movement should be based on Just Cause 3 with grapple-to-glide and rocket boost assist.
A Batman Beyond game is the right direction, but I have little faith in Rocksteady at this point.
>>738658509Into the trash it goes.
>>738650360>to be fair the previous Arkham games were Unreal games tooWorld of difference between Unreal 4 and 5. You cannot “optimize” Unreal 5. It is designed first and foremost to make game development cheaper.
>>738660985All they need to do is to add the Dee Dee twins and they'll carry this game harder than Rebecca carried Cyberpunk
>>738658367>>738650113>>738650091
>>738650360Previous Arkham games used heavily modified Unreal 3. Even Knight did back in 2015 but it was barely UE3 at that point.
>>738660805I could see WB scrapping the original concept after saying they were shifting away from AAA games to do free live service shit. Then after that failed spectacularly they broke the emergency glass.
>>738650091>The original had Damien Wayne as Batman Beyond, but now they've scrapped that and made it Terry McGinnis insteadThank FUCK.>Paul Dini's choice as he is writing for this gameTHANK FUCK!>the game seems to be an adaptation of the animated series story with elderly Bruce Wayne and Blight as the main villainGOOD>And it is less futuristic than the Animated SeriesOH FUCK NO I WANT THE FLYING BATMOBILE I WANT INQUE, WANT THE ROYAL FLUSH GANG AND EVERY OTHER VILLAIN! THEY HAVE TO MAKE IT FUTURISTIC INSTEAD OF CYBER77, NOBODY WANTS CYBER77!!!ALSO DON'T FORGET ABOUT MAX GIBSON AND BY GOD DON'T MAKE HER LOOK LIKE A DEI SHIT FUGLY CHARACTER OR YOUR GAME WILL BOMB
>>738650247I hate them so much. Why are they always so retarded? Just do the fucking thing that's obviously good and that everyone wants instead of shitting your pants first because you're not sure if you might like the smell of the shit before realizing you have to clean yourself up and change your underwear.
Obvious lies. They are just going to do a shitty pointless remake of Arkham Asylum instead.
>>738661610Since when the fuck are you supposed to change your underwear after shitting yourself? Why does no one explain these things?
>>738661250The truth is and will always be that it's the fault of the dev for using their tools poorly.
>>738650091SHUT THE FUCK UP DUDE DON'T DO THIS TO ME... wait on second thought even if real SS was utter woke garbage and these guys aren't at the studio anymore so yeah, this being as good as the Arkham games is slim
>>738661250See how little you know? They were UE3 games.Yes even Arkham Knight.
>>738651097kill yourself zoomer, Batman was always kino, Marvel is trash
>>738650091wasn't this already leaked on 4chan a few years ago?
>>738658367No man.... see? they already fucking it up. He has way too much muscles, look at fucking Batman Beyond the animated series ffs rocksteady, this is how he should look like, he should be agile and fast not bulky like that fucking arkham batman you stupid dumb motherfuckers
>>738662583At least it still looks closer than the skin they had in Arkham City. Now THAT just didn't look right.
>>738662583tbf everyone is jacked as hell in the arkham universe for no reason, theyre probably just sticking to the franchises art style, but i wouldnt be surprised if this is just some placeholder character model because it looks extremely similar to the arkham city beyond skin, wouldnt be surprised if they just ripped it from there straight up
nobody cares about batman gayond. it's fanfic-tier WHAT IF SPIDER-MAN WAS BATMAN IN THE FUTURE WITH FLYING CARS garbage. not real batman.a "future batman" can just be done by rebooting the series again with a new take on the bruce wayne batman.
>stat unitgraph | stat cpu | r.Lumen.Reflections=1>Lighting needs to be rebuilt>PlayerState: BP_MovementComponent_0Yeah this is definitely a real game prototype in UE5 and not an AI generated image.
>>738662696>placeholder character modelthat better be the motherfucking case, stop making every batman game the same ESPECIALLY now when it's an entirely new batman you pieces of shit, holy fuck these lazy devs piss me the fuck off
>>738662872Is this sarcasm or is this coming from an actual developer? I don't know with these leaks sometimes
>>738658367>we're gonna pretend suicide squad didn't happen, here's old bruce mentoring terry in a slightly futuristic gothamThat makes enough sense that I can believe it.
>>738662583>they already fucking it up. He has way too much muscles, look at fucking Batman Beyond the animated series ffs rocksteadyYeah Terry is a teenager or young adult, not a bodybuilder. The suit did a lot of heavy lifting initially, unlike Bruce who was an actual martial artist. Terry was more of a street fighter who practiced wrestling on the side iirc. Hopefully Paul Dini does more than just writing, he should be in charge of the whole thing.
Fucking Fortnite of all places just recently had a 100% screen-accurate Terry skin, complete with properly-done shading.
>>738662942Both.The messages at the top would not be drawn on the screen, stat unitgraph actually draws a graph, and stat unit looks different. Messages complaining about static lighting do not appear while lumen is enabled because it is incomparable with static lighting. The name of an instance of a movement component class is written as the PlayerState class which is a completely different class hierarchy.There are other obvious mistakes but those are the most glaring.
>>738650091Why they would can a Batman Beyond game for the Suicide Squad slop game in the first place is beyond me.
>>738663161Whoops its stat gpu not stat unit which means it should actually be drawing a big fucking debug window in the center of the screen.
>>738650091What if they were to go fuck themselves instead?
>>738663161Actual dev who works with UE5 here.>The messages at the top would not be drawn on the screenWrong. Custom debug drawing via HUD or DrawDebugString calls can render text anywhere on screen in any format. A studio could have entirely custom debug tooling that doesn't look like stock UE output.>Stat unitgraph draws a graphTrue by default, but developers can and do override or strip down debug stat displays. A custom build could suppress the graph and show text only.>PlayerState vs MovementComponentThis is the only one I agree with.>Static lighting warnings with LumenEarly builds often have messy, contradictory settings. A scene migrated from an older pipeline might still have static lighting data in it while Lumen is also enabled. This doesn't mean anything, especially in early development.
here is what stat unitgraph and debug messages actually look like
>>738652482QRD on bottom?
>>738663064If they don't get the batsuit facial animations on point, the charm of the character is lost. The transition from 2d cartoons to 3d will be the most difficult to pull off, because the batsuit in batman beyond isn't rubber, it's more like a futuristic exosuit with very advanced technology, it can basically activate itself and kill you without somebody wearing it. I sure as fuck hope whoever is producing the game has watched all the show from start to finish because they're a fan and isn't a fuckwit saying >yeah, well, that was then, this is OUR batman beyondbecause if that's the case, you can fucking set fire to the whole studio and go home, it's done.
>>738663404Do you guys just suddenly forget that Rocksteady has always worked with modified versions of Unreal Engine. Who's to say they're not doing it with UE5 like they always have?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>738663505>Who's to say they're not doing it with UE5 like they always have?The clear and steady decline of their output suggests they may lack the ability now.
>>738663372Why would anyone customize the engine to draw stat commands at the top of the screen at all times or remove stat unitgraph and stat gpu's entire functionality? I have customized stat unit and debug messages before but only for modifications that make sense.
>>738663505I would expect them to make modifications that actually make sense.
>>738663492Exactly, they fucking need to NAIL what made Batman Beyond so special and awesome, now if Sefton Hill was still the leader I would have had way more hope cause that mf understood why people love Batman but unfortunately he left the company, now I'm not so sure anymore and especially not after the fucking woke dumpster fire that was Suicide Squad.
>>738661253I wish, I fucking wish in my heart of hearts that they are based enough to accurately include all the cool Batman Beyond stuff - Reality is I have zero faith in the industry. The recipe for success is right there, but they will try their hardest to find a way to fuck it up.
>>738663492The texturing would be difficult. I'm thinking some sort of fabric-like metallic weave coated with light-absorbing material. No oversized hexagons or whatever.
Usually I'd call these leaks fake and move on with my day but a lot of things do stick out to me like the very clearly reused assets from Rocksteady's previous games which won't be easy to create in a mockup UE5 project or AI generation, and the UE5 dummies being fairly accurate, and so is the unfinished floor and polygons being on the map looking fairly believeable. The one thing that also doesn't make me think it is entirely AI is how consistent everything looks which AI still has a hard time with. This is either a very well constructed and carefully made fake or very much real.
>trusting rocksteady after gotham knights and suicide squad where you kill batmannope
This is what info stat GPU displays.
Batman Beyond would be the perfect way to reboot the series with the huge time skip, sounds too good to be true though.
>>738650091Like hell they are, they deserve to be shut down and their employees sent to the front lines of the ukraine for making SS
>>738650284Look at ubisoft. They'll go under before they reverse course.
>>738663492Thinking about the Beyond suit in Arkham City still makes me madPersonally I'd go with not having the mouth at all because high fidelity and the Beyond batsuit don't seem to mix and you could just avoid making things ugly, instead I'd go for a screen that could display a "mouth" instead, and eyes tooThe whole suit would be one slick screen, since it can turn invisible in the series already, it's something you could play withThe real answer would be to make Beyond games in the original style so you don't have to translate the suit in 3D very far, if at all, but they'll never do that for some reason
>>738663853the thing is they would have the easiest job in the world, all they have to do is make a Batman Beyond game EXACTLY like the fucking show, with no woke bullshit, make the Dee Dee twins hot as fuck, just exactly like the fucking damn show, it really isn't that hard. You literally have gold right in front of you, make the game just like the show and I promise you people will love it and it will turn into a massive success. You have no idea how much bat fans crave for a good Batman Beyond game, if you dare to make the Dee Dee twins not sexy as hell and change their outfits too much, people will roll a shitstorm over your shitty ass studio like you've never seen. THIS IS YOUR LAST FUCKING CHANCE ROCKSTEADY, if you fuck this up I promise you they will shut your shit down, you was THIS close of shutdown after what you tried to do with SS, do not make the same mistake again or find out what happens if you do. Good Luck.
>>738663869>coated with light-absorbing material.>Vantablack is one of the darkest man-made substances, absorbing up to 99.965% of visible light. It is composed of a forest of carbon nanotubes that trap light, causing 3D objects to appear as 2D voids.I don't think the suit was vantablack but it had cloaking capabilities, similar to whatever they had in Ghost in the Shell movie back in the 90's. There's so much in the show that if properly transplanted into gameplay, it would blow people's minds, it would be better than the previous games. Having Wayne in your ear telling you to not fuck it up while Terry banters back and forth, you can listen to convos happening inside buildings with your fingers placed on the windows of the building, you have rocket boosters in your boots, there's virtual reality inside the suit similar to what Ironman has, there's so much stuff they can work with.>>738663761>now I'm not so sure anymore and especially not after the fucking woke dumpster fire that was Suicide Squad.Yeah, that last one was a shitshow but maybe they cleaned house recently. This is me being delusional and coping.
>>738664339>Personally I'd go with not having the mouth at allBut then how would Inque drown you with her body? I get the point though, but it would be a departure from the facial animations in the show.>The real answer would be to make Beyond games in the original style so you don't have to translate the suit in 3D very far, if at allYES. Cell shaded batman beyond game? That could work best but how will that play with the normies?
>>738658367Any more pictures or details?
>>738664438imagine this fightSex.I gotta stop thinking about it, I'm getting way too excited. I know they will fuck it up, this industry isn't the same it was 20 years ago, everything is shit now
>>738658148https://youtu.be/wej2rezIHqE>"Bruce's DNA was easy enough to obtain. He left it all over town.">Terry raises his eyebrow>"Not remotely what I meant!"
>>738664706>But then how would Inque drown you with her body?She's basically a liquid, she could find her way inThat or she just slams through and makes a mouth hole, that'd be a good "oh shit" moment>it would be a departure from the facial animations in the show.I think it'd be a good balance, you'd get all the 2D smirks and emoting without the ugly 3D mouth and jaw workI confess that it's a preference borne out of not trusting 3D animators to get it right but I also think it'd be cool to try>That could work best but how will that play with the normies?People are still somewhat fond of Telltale's Batman, aren't they? At least the second game that nobody played (and frankly people should be more harsh on the first, but that's a different thread)Just go even harder on the cel shading and stylisation than that series did, it could work
>>738667039>That or she just slams through and makes a mouth holeFair point.>a preference borne out of not trusting 3D animators to get it rightIt is difficult to pull off. 2d-3d transitions are probably the most difficult to execute properly because everybody sees something different with the facial symbols of 2d drawings, that's why they're appealing to begin with.>People are still somewhat fond of Telltale's Batman, aren't they?This reminds me of Dispatch. It could work wonderfully but people have expectations that probably should be met, given the rocksteady game history. If i were in charge, i'd go for a similar style that apes 90%+ of the cartoon's style.
>>738650091Too lateBurned all their goodwill with Suicide SquadAlso it will inevitably be filled up with rhetoric that is hostile towards me because I am white and malePass
>>738663446It's Zod from Gods and Monsters film, so he puts his DNA in the rocket capsule instead of Jor-el
The talent is gone, it's BEEN gone for over 10 years.This is effectively a startup company with too much funding and no experience making games.
>>738667428>but people have expectations that probably should be met, given the rocksteady game historyMost people's expectations are as low as they could get, if Rocksteady actually put out a good game I think people would be willing to forgive a change in art direction
That new Lego game will unironically probably be a better Arkham-esque game than this game will.
>>738652138Honestly man Suicide Squad had to be a wakeup call. We can only hope they'll never do anything this retarded ever again but who knows?
>>738652038It is not okay to be gay.
>>738650091>a Batman Beyond game set after Arkham KnightAlright, coo->and is considered a soft reboot of the franchise with a new leadffs why does there always have to be some gay catch these days
>>738669407You realize Bruce Wayne is like 80 years old in Batman Beyond right?
>>738668180finally, i am represented... this is everything
>>738650091It's sad that they fucking fumbled Gotham Knights so badly, co-op bamham beat-em-up action is such a winning idea>make game obviously designed for 4 players>your team is so horrible at optimization that you have to cut it to 2 player only, proceed to blame the xbox one S for your Jeet tier programming
>>738651645And makes old Bruce fuck old Barbara, just for old times sake.
>>738650091Rocksteady had it's founders left and had all it's talent metooed away. Suicide squad hired SBI.Your bro has my condolences OP.
>>738663048>Big tits, little feetA hit in any man's league.
>>738663590It's spelled Gandhi.
>>738664706This was an awakening for me.
>>738650091You're full of shit and I don't trust rocksteady anymore.
>>738650091this rumor is probably older than you. they are not going back and doing this lol
>>738662258Other anon isn't wrong, MCU is diluting the greatness of all superhero flicks, including Batman Nolanverse and Arkham series. It's gotten too predictable, too familiar, same old fucking repetitive shit. After normies finally experience capeslop fatigue, not a single capeshit movie or game will be made for 30 years.
>>738656503Arkham Knight Harley had a generational ass, utter perfection. I probably blew more loads to it than any other ass, I'd open up the model viewer, zoom in, and just beat my 12 year old meat off to her ass for hours, load after load.
>>738667428Total. Blazer. Friendzoning.
>>738650091>>738650113>Oh shit the Lego guys are clowning on us and making us look like incompetent retards! Quick fish out that Arkham sequel Batman Beyond concept from the trash bin! Get Paul Dini to write it cause we can't have another woke flop lest WB truly shut us down this time!Lmao too little too late. I already pre-ordered the Lego game and I ain't ever buying Rocksteady garbage ever again.
>>738650210after the massive flop this seems like they wont gamble. and as the other anon said, terry is already mixed and irish are also basically niggers, therefore its a double PoC situation
>>738652334>>738652482This was always retarded and an insult to the spirit of Batman.
>>738673980woke trash
>>738674206Yeah, that was pointed out too. The assassin Waller hired to Joe Chill Terry's parents refused to go through with it, and it was only sheer chance that Terry's "dad" was murdered anyway.
>>738673665Based.
>>738674332These people are ridiculous.
>>738674332Literally that's about the only thing woke about this game and even then you could argue it's laziness instead because there are also female thugs to beat up.It's a fucking nothing burger. If this genuinely filters you then you are either some paid antishill or actually need medication.
>>738652242So why did they make him look so Asian?
>>738651408I'm actually more interested in how to go about using the nemesis system that doesn't come off as generic or uninspired. If these are just thugs with different equipment or resistances that return over time WITHOUT you being able to interfere and benefit from their hierarchy then what is the point? And how would that work in a Batman game? Surely you won't have a bat gang, and even if you did, are you going to attack enemy fortresses? It just sounds like nonsense in a Batman scenario but the whole package is important for making the nemesis system fun to engage with.
>>738676398it was animated in korea or the philipeans or japan or something. one of those chinaman countries. by the time BTAS came out none of the animation was actually done in the US. that's where all of those meme pages from king of the hill and the simpsons come out because the American guys would only draw key frames and storyboards and chinamen would draw like 99% of the actual frames
>>738678408The nemesis system will be generic and uninspired because they likely just forced it in so they don't lose the copyright.
>>738676398Timm Men just all squint the same
>>738678664speaking of, what was that show about the super spy(?)I swear that was him as well
>>738674757>Only woke thing about the game>Not Gordon, Barbara, and Selina getting raceswapped to Black people
>>738678813Legacy of the Dark Knight is a mix of all kinds of Batman media.The reason they are black is because they want movie tie in power from pic related.And again. It's a fucking nothingburger.
>>738650113>r.Lumen.Reflections=1it's so over
>>738679389Cope lmao
>>738679730>culturewartroon telling people they are copinglmao
>>738674757>It's a fucking nothing burgerI agree, still retarded and they shouldn't have done it, but not the end of the world. now I won't even bother when it's on sale so props to them>If this genuinely filters you then you are either some paid antishill or actually need medication.>>738679948>>culturewartroonand there the veil goes
Just make a Cassandra Batgirl game already with the same model tech you used for Batgirl last time.. Don't you like money?
>>738680293
>>738650091Yes but did they really have to burn a quarter of a billion dollars and fire half their staff to do what they always should have done? How is this news? This is what they were always supposed to be doing and they fucking killed their own studio for nothing. Glad Dini's back since those faggots thought they could write a better batman story than he could (They couldn't).
>>738650091>here is your nu-Rocksteady lead writer>no, you can not look into his early life bio
>>738680181>and there the veil goesNah I'm rightwing too but the thing is I'm not a terminally online faggot crying and shitting themselves over literally nothing. If this game had pollical statements or current year pandering like how Spider-Man PS4 was filled with muh Trump bad I'd get it but it's literally just henchperson and the movie skin colours and nothing else. You making a mountain out of molehills you can just mod out is annoying to see and exhausting to hear.Also horseshoe theory.
>>738680293Baby Cassy only.
LOL what is he fucking sharting about
>>738680293>Don't you like money?what i've learned about the current western game industry is that uh no, no they do not
>>738650091You wasted who knows how long to generate an AI OP without checking to see if Rocksteady Games were still a thing?
>>738680954as if it mattered
>>738652109>>738652242>>738652334Warren's DNA was rewritten to make it identical to Bruce's DNA. Warren is still Terry's biological father>>738674206But also this
>>738674757>>738678813>its a nothingburger goooy >CONSOOM THE SLOPi dont think i will
>>738681014Sure thing

>standallnn>standallone>standaloneAI slop leaks ruined the game of fake leaksWe are never getting another Grinch leak
You cant do Batman Beyond in the Arkham /universe as everyone knows Bruce is Batman. It would be retarded as you cant have Bruce out in public or anything so you would lose all the aspects of Bruce interacting with Blight in Wayne Enterprises and whatnot. It would be boring as it would just be Bruce hiding somewhere. Also you wont have Wayne Manor and the Batcave. They would be better off just making a new universe as the ending of Arkham Knight is just too retarded to follow up on.
>>738680791nta, nah, you're a tranny shill lmao
>>738650091only trannies now work in that studio, it will be shit like ack squad
>>738683273>Y-Y-You're [MEANINGLESS BUZZWORDS]!!!Yawn
>>738682696>You cant do Batman Beyond in the Arkham /universe as everyone knows Bruce is Batman.This old prune?
>>738668180Xhe literally looks like me... thank you Rocksteady!
>>738680293>disabled asian woman is batman successor>still cool as fuck and doesn't feel like panderingHow did they do it?
>people not having faith in rocksteadydidn't they make arkham shadows? That was pretty good right?
>>738683810She's still sexy
Someone give me a list of essential batman animated episodes to watch so that I can finally start batman beyond after finishing them
>>738683571ok tranny
>>738650091I wish they'd make a superman game
>>738684110Superman can't have any good games because if they depict him accurately the game will be shit because he's invincible and OP and if they try to make a good game it won't be a good Superman one.The only way I see it working is if Superman is not the main playable character but make him some kind of gimmick or mechanic like in that one punch man game.
>>738650287No, these are old screenshots from city/Knight development OP is a fag
>>738684753nah. Kryptonite is a thing. Or there's some plot device that partially blocks out the sun, making him weaker or something.
>>738684967Last time I checked kryptonite was a limited resource. As for blocking out the sun it's retarded because if Superman can't instantly just unblock it it's a shit game or the earth would be doomed.That said maybe the game can start with Superman waking up with a hang over after a party over at Batman's house to discover he's weakened because he shoved Batman's stashed kryptonite up his ass in a drunken dare or something.
>>738685557Or just have him get hit with a kryptonite bullet or something. Most of it has been removed but fragments remain in his body. While not a lethal amount it is still enough to sufficiently weaken him and his body will absorb it over time. Bam that how he starts weak and how he powers up through the game.
>>738650091>They picked up the original concept they had before they cancelled it for Suicide Squad.Rocksteady was making a Superman game. It was WB Games that was making a future game codenamed as Batman Sabbath>The original had Damien Wayne as Batman Beyondsee aboveOP as always is still full of shit as xhe post beta builds of Arkham City
>>738680293>Don't you like money?Cass's books never sell
>>738672389Did she even exists Jimmy?
Don't really care since Rocksteady is liquid shit now but I would've preferred more earlier Batman with explorations of other villains besides the fucking Jonkler, I don't really like Beyond.
>>738650091t. Knower This was something that the Montreal team was looking into at one point also. It started as a Batman Beyond pitch with the nemesis system, then became a batkids nemesis system game, then a coop game with the Animated Series artsyle, before finally becoming the looter game that was Gotham Knights. A couple years ago I saw some concept art for the batkids and was told about the previous Beyond pitch. Would definitely have been better than the game they released but maybe it was never feasible for them. I just want more nemesis system.
>>738688086That's not what happened see>>738687794WB forced the devs into scrapping the titles they were working on in favor of looter trash that no one asked for. WB Games was making Batman Sabbath and Rocksteady had been working on some undisclosed title before the Suicide Squad movie happened.It was going to have Monoliths Nemesis System
>>738650091>with a custom Nemesis System (From Shadow of War/Mordor) villain as his right hand man/womanWhat? The nemesis system doesn't make sense for one singular villain.
>>738688591>for one singular villain.
>>738650091I'll never understand why you retards get so hyped about Batman Beyond getting fucked over.
>>738688239I don't think that goes against anything I said, it just specifies that WB were the ones who mandated the change
>>738685557>Last time I checked kryptonite was a limited resourceYou would think so but at any given point in time 99% of the villain or hero community has access to it. Ra's al Ghul has it, Batman has it, Amanda Waller has it, Green Arrow has it. Green Lanterns can replicate the effects. Theres been entire arcs of stray kryptonite meteors being stripmined or landing on Earth. You can even make artificial kryptonite that has some funky side-effects. I honestly can say it would be easier to name the characters who don't have kryptonite.
>>738683810>>still cool as fuck and doesn't feel like panderingIt except it did. Up until Cass joined the team, everyone had to work for their spot on the team. Yet she becomes the new Batgirl despite Stephanie Brown being right there.
>>738651645It was fine. The every single character using their first names constantly is not. Thanks Nightwing, I'm glad you called me bruce in this penguin room surrounded by henchmen
I'm a Cassfagtotal Babs death
>>738672126That was Bruce Timm's idea.
>>738689310I'm a Babsfag Cass will have her ears blown out by Barbs cheeks.
>DamiEn WayneThat's how you know this shit is fake.
>>738689616It's the plot to WB Games Batman Sabbath project, which an adaptation of Batman 666. Damien is Batman in that run.
>>738650091after SS and injustice 2? nah
>>738689746makes sense they waited until Conroy died. Tried to squeeze out as many performances as they could but now that he's gone it's smarter to do Beyond instead of recast him
>>738689739No, he isn't. Because DamiEn Wayne doesn't exist.DamiAn Wayne does, and he was the Batman in 666.If you're leaking this shit it very likely came with a development doc, which if it's an official thing, wouldn't have that retarded ass typo.
>>738650091It's fine to leave old sections intact - that's part of the aesthetic - but who the fuck wants a Batman Beyond game where it's not the spinner future?This already sounds like a hard tank.
>>738689850They don't have to recast just AI the shit out of his voice and do some jewish tactic of claiming it was in his contract or "dying wish." You'll have reddit and /v/eddit going on about its "based" and "honoring" a good man.
>>738650091>Cyberpunk 2077Please no, everything but that!
>>738690090>This already sounds like a hard tank.I mean, City and Knight also had classic Batman stories cobbled together; nobody cared, the games sold millions.
>>738690203Unless he actually did allow for his vocal likeness to be used in AI shit like James Earl Jones did, his husband (who I assume was left in charge of his estate) can very likely file suit.
>>738652214rocksteady must have really hated WW to make her go out like this
>>738691638They strip Green Lantern naked joke about it and then Boomerang pisses on Flashs corpse. They retconned it all to be clones after but it just feels like subversive, mean-spirited garbage. It would be like Eggman killing Sonic and then raping Amy on his remains.
>>738684753the other way is to go full cosmic epic, each miniboss is a daxamite (the kryptonian cusions) or a new god, or an apocalyptan and you fight thousands of normal mooks at any one time
>>738660910That’s not what OP was claiming, he wrote that it was RS’s old project. The entire thing is fanfiction and back when we had people with actual brains here instead of plebbitors and fagtok kiddos nobody would fall for this shit.
>>738691804It was kino when TGT did it though
