TGA gameplay trailer nailed on?

 

[Luipadre]

I feel like this is gonna be another Rocksteady situation here. Cant believe they wasted so many years since the awesome lotr games to make a fucking wonder woman game

 

[TintoConCasera]

Wonder Woman? Bring Caleb back you fucks.

 

[ssringo]

Been vaguely interested since it's a different superhero but it's also Warner Bros so my faith is very low.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

I always liked Wonder Woman since I grew up with the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited Cartoon shows. She's always been one of my top 5 Justice League members. Liked her a lot in the new animated movies too later on like



I'm also half interested in this game depending on how they do it.

I'm pitching a vote of confidence for this game, actually. Splitting the difference between pre-52 comics accurate Wonder Woman and Kassandra from AC Odyssey with better gameplay and evolved nemesis system? DC-ized Greek mythology?

Sign me up.

 

[chokotoureiki]

Oh yeah, I'm totally down. I love Wonder Woman and the entire DC universe.

 

[Esca]

I like WW so I'm interested to see how it is

 

[Digital-Aftertaste]

If they make the lasso a highly used tool, this game could be a good Strangers Wrath style game... or Prey 2(the canceled one)... or Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

A bounty hunting, exploration game with rpg elements. Not just a button mashing action game. Say what you will about the Spider-Man games but if you took away the web swinging, they would've been incredibly generic.

Fuck man, they own the nemesis system. I hope they've learned their lesson after Kill the Justice League

 

[grvg]

It always pains me to see a dev that I somewhat like start doing superhero shit.

Bring us shogo 2

 

[Firestartah]

Where is Condemned 3 or new FEAR you cowards...fuck your superhero slop.

 

[intbal]

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I know it's really not the same company it once was, but what an unappealing IP for them to focus on. This is the studio that used to make Blood and Shogo and FEAR...

LOTR was a massively more interesting license for them to work with.

 

[Holammer]

Having Wonder Woman with the gameplay mechanics from Shadow of Mordor/Shadow of War should be sure-fire recipe for success, a gimme.
In the current year, I'm not so sure.

 

[rm082e]

God(ess) of War (without blood and dismemberment)?

 

[Rush2112]

Yeah seriously, they went from FEAR to marvel shit. What a bunch of losers.

 

[The Lunch Legend]

I'd rather news on a new Xenoblade

 

[Dr.brain64]

 

[Salz01]

I'm nervous. We aren't going to get the Wonder Woman we want. We are going to get some fucked up manly looking version. Sales are going to tank, the fan base will be blamed. It's all so tiring….

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I'm nervous. We aren't going to get the Wonder Woman we want. We are going to get some fucked up manly looking version. Sales are going to tank, the fan base will be blamed. It's all so tiring….

 

[PatientGamer]

Are they going to make her look like a man in this?

 

[Carmen Winstead]

 

[llLeonhart]

I don't hate the idea, but it's weird how they never give players what they ask for. How many years has it been since people have been clamoring for a new superman game?

This could be really interesting though.

 

[Isa]

She's one of my favorite heroines but yeah I'm worried what they'll try to pull or muster up. I hope for the best but my expectations are absolute rock bottom right now. But Monolith aren't alone in that regard, I share that sentiment with nearly all western devs and publishers currently.

 

[JimboJones]

I'm nervous. We aren't going to get the Wonder Woman we want. We are going to get some fucked up manly looking version. Sales are going to tank, the fan base will be blamed. It's all so tiring….

Hopefully it's Wonder Woman and not I Wonder if it's a Woman?

 

[Loomy]

Badass character if written well Let's hope they at least talked to Gail Simone and Greg Rucka.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Hopefully they're smart enough to make her hot.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I don't care about Wonder Woman, never have. But the fact this will apparently have the nemesis system makes me extremely interested.

 

[Hookshot]

It's current year so I have no hope for Wonder if it's a Woman.

 

[Effigenius]

I'd rather news on a new Xenoblade

We've got like 5 Xenoblades. Were good. Bring on Wonder Woman!

 

[GermanZepp]

 

[lmimmfn]

Wonder woman, last decades at the time interesting superhero today!

 

[Flabagast]

Some people still care about superhero games ?

 

[Salz01]

Lots of people do…
You've got the Marvels Rivals coming out which seems people like. Also that Capt America / Black Panther game which looks cool too.

 

[ProtoByte]

They've already revealed her character model, and the leaked marketing materials show her to be muscular, but feminine in shape.

I don't hate the idea, but it's weird how they never give players what they ask for. How many years has it been since people have been clamoring for a new superman game?

This could be really interesting though.

The interest in a Superman game is not universal. There are plenty of people who neg the concept. Many more players still want a 5th Arkham game. Listening to internet narratives is not the way

If they make the lasso a highly used tool, this game could be a good Strangers Wrath style game... or Prey 2(the canceled one)... or Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

A bounty hunting, exploration game with rpg elements. Not just a button mashing action game. Say what you will about the Spider-Man games but if you took away the web swinging, they would've been incredibly generic.

The Lasso of Truth will be used for the Nemesis Allies mechanic. I reckon they're be weapon switching between sword/shield, fisticuffs and the lasso.

Yeah seriously, they went from FEAR to marvel shit. What a bunch of losers.

You been living under a rock for the past 20 years? FEAR hasn't been a thing for more than a decade. It's a strange time to be complaining about it now.

Real Monolith OGs know No One Lives Forever.

 

[simpatico]

This is my 9/11

 

[Last Hearth]

Hopefully the developers played Stellar Blade, but I'm not holding my breath.

 

[bitbydeath]

Absolutely, I wish Sucker Punch would make a new team that focuses on inFamous.

 

[BigBeauford]

I said I would never dance again, but I guess I'll have to pull out my grave dancing shoes one last time. They are looking a little rough though

 

[ssringo]

Real Monolith OGs know No One Lives Forever.

For those not in the know, google "NOLF Revival". You're welcome.

To be fair…. Unlike Spider-Man or wolverine, Wonder Woman is a property where wokeness is kinda… I don't know embedded in it? Not as consequential? I'm not sure how to articulate it but you know what I'm saying?

Wokeness in last of us, ghost of yotei, Spider-Man, horizon, Alan wake whatever else you're like "oh come on really" wokeness in a Wonder Woman game is like darkness in a Batman game. It's her thing

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Hopefully the developers played Stellar Blade, but I'm not holding my breath.

I love Stellar Blade and the characters in them but for Wonder Woman I'll rather they stick with western designs but GOOD western looking designs of course so more like what Yennifer, Ciri, Priscilla, Triss etc from Witcher 3, Black Cat from Spiderman etc were and less like what Abby, Fable freak, Spiderman 2's MJ, Aloy etc.

And speaking of Witcher, Yennifer would actually make a great wonder woman if she was rocking that outfit.

 

[arkhamguy123]

I'm actually hyped for this. The 2009 animated movie and 2017 live action movie areee actually kinda great? And shadow of war was kinda shit in some ways but it had copious publisher interference. Shadow of Mordor was a solid AAA third person adventure game. With stealth, combat, and nemesis mechanics to die for.

They should be delivering an arkham tier Wonder Woman game here… I just worry about further publisher interference and if that clown James Gunn can keep his hands off it. And also if they hire competent writers.

 

[simpatico]

Really hate seeing my boys go out like this. They almost survived all the eras. Making Blood and then NOLF and then F.E.A.R., sliding over to Condemned for the 360 launch and then actually leveling up naturally to AAA with Shadow of Mordor. They made all those legendary moves, survived all the eras, just to shit their pants in front of everyone on the way to Valhalla. Guess they're going to make games in the sky with Arkane and Rocksteady.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I love these devs and will very likely buy this day 1. Their games have all been fun IMO.

 

[Perrott]

Where is Condemned 3 or new FEAR you cowards...fuck your superhero slop.

They've stopped doing first-person horror-themed games over 15 years ago. Their current thing are systems-driven third-person action/adventure games.

There's no point in asking them to return to Condemned or F.E.A.R., similarly to how today's Naughty Dog just aren't fit to make another Crash or Jak game.

 

[Deerock71]

Hopefully it's Wonder Woman and not I Wonder if it's a Woman?

 

[TGO]

A Wonder Woman Game.
Made by Western Developers.
In 2024.

 

[Inviusx]

Problem with drawn out game development cycles is that this probably made a lot of sense when it was pitched, as capeshit was still popular. 5 years removed from that, a lot has changed and now a super hero game seems so outdated to me. That being said, the Shadow Of series was amazing so I still have some hope that this might be an evolution of that formula.
