What is it with Wonder Woman and people dropping the ball? They could’ve just done a God of War clone with the nemesis system (Shadows of War/Mordor) and you’d already be on the ballpark for a great game.
I was so looking forward to that game. I love Batman, he’s one of my favorite DC superhero, but I think it’s time to take a break from him in the gaming world and give the other 2 of the Trinity to shine for a bit, or at least the lesser known heroes
I think people are conveniently forgetting that WB wanted Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League be made into a live service game. This implies they very likely would have taken an open world single player game to the same table.
"Discovery CEO David Zaslav and CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels have both noted the strategy for the games group is to increasingly shift focus away from AAA games to always-on live-services titles and mobile offerings."
Monolith, the people making it and now shut down, were titans of the gaming industry. They have hits going back to the late 90s. If they had competant leadership, the game would have kicked ass.
That was made by Rocksteady, totally different studio. Made some of the best third person single player action games. So of course they were tasked with making... a live service FPS.
Video game development has no correlation to film development. Maybe if they were making a game based on a film they were making, which is not the case here.
Nothing, I'm pretty sure you guys were talking about video games though and you implied only video games based on movies were bad but SSKTJL was very bad and not based on any movie.
They mentioned WW84, and why we probably dodged a bullet with the cancellation of this WW game.
The developer for WW was a pretty good developer, but so is rocksteady, so I kind of guess there’s a point here (?)
The fact WB openly justified shutting down these specific gaming developers by claiming they wanted to focus on their “key franchises” one of which is Harry fucking Potter… I just really don’t know who WB is making things for anymore, but it’s not me.
I was really looking forward to the game and would have been fine waiting for them to figure out whatever issues they were supposedly having with it's development.
Really hoping we're not going to end up just getting Batman games going forward...
Are there any other WW projects that I might be unaware of? Because if not, then it genuinely seems like Absolute Wonder Woman is all there is left that's genuinely good 😭
Out of respect, I won't say why I don't like the other WW book rn, but I'm sure the reasons are readily apparent.
its one of the worst times to be a wonder woman fan
we have literally nothing to look foward to
the only thing that saves right now is the absolute ww run
I just don’t get it. Even from a cynical business standpoint, she’s SUCH a marketable character. Most women and girls think she’s awesome, and most men and boys think she’s awesome AND hot.* It’s such an easy pitch to make.
*many women, girls and others also fall into the “awesome AND hot” category
WB has thought for decades that female leads don't sell. That's why we haven't had a Supergirl movie since the one that flopped in 1983, and why it took so long to bring Diana to the silver screen, while Superman had 6 1/2 films, and Batman had 7 1/2 films in the same time frame.
And with the recent backlash against diversity, equity, and inclusion, I'm not surprised that WB has decided to cancel a game with a female protagonist, especially since she's also an LGTBQ+ icon.
Yeah, Sesame Street was being produced by HBO, but he killed that deal so right now Sesame Street doesn’t have a studio. It’s effectively dead at the moment.
Also, WBD is run by people who seem to think the most successful film in the history of their studio doesn't count because Intel guys hate it. #Barbie Does it shock you they have no faith in a Wonder Woman video game?
It really is baffling. Especially since we’ve had a TON of action games with female protagonists in the last 10 years. Not to mention how much easier it is to design than a Superman game, what with her not being completely invincible.
did she get lesbian married/enter into a lesbian polycule and now a buncha nerdguys are mad (since ~1985 and counting) and the women are furious because she's taken now and there's no chance for them?

That's WB for you, constantly fucking shit up. The game is cancelled and a lot of talented people are out of a job...
Hey, Company That Owns DC Comics, there’s a little thing called the “Trinity.” Might be a useful thing to be aware of.
Sorry about your game, though.
Still would like to see an A List female Super Hero game

that or the more awesome idea of fans making an amazing indie game that would inevitably rebrand when WB brings down the ban hammer
Sonja and her pals visit a Crete like Island full of randomly generated evil goons to kill and castles to conquer.
You wrote it.

The 1983 Supergirl movie was not a great movie. For many reasons.
So obviously the reason it flopped was because of the female lead! /s
Probably confirmation bias for a lot of executives.
Dude is laughably evil.
I'm not US, never even seen many clips of it, but...
Holy FUCK.
How in the HELL do you get away with killing off an institution like Sesame Street?!?
F***ing corporate parasite assholes.

I think I missed something--oh.
:(
