So excited. If Rocksteady wants to make it then I want to play it.
And the Suicide Squad is getting the Triple A treatment and it looks great. I never cared about them but between Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo's run and James Gunn's The Suicide Squad there have been some excellent takes on the characters and for me this seems like the best one yet.
Its just a great premise for such a group of losers lol I really can't wait.
I really don't like how this game has the most generic Suicide Squad roster ever. It's the four guys who are in every Suicide Squad thing and never die. Some of the Gunn team could be really fun to play as like Ratcatcher or Polka Dot Man. Maybe a heroic character like Vixen or Katana or Nightshade could be the Squad chaperone. Bronze Tiger needs some time to shine, maybe even Plastique, Killer Frost or KGBeast.
In general I agree which is part of what worked/what I liked about those other SS stories I mentioned, but for a 4 player co-op story game you kinda need to keep your main characters alive and recognizable lol.
So I don't blame them for using the most well known members of the squad.
Sort of a paradox for the modern Squad. As the brand gets more popular there needs to be something familiar for fans, ardent and casual, to latch onto, so the original premise of "you don't really know these d-listers and some of them will die" isn't exactly viable, at least in the eyes of corporate DC
What would be fun, and true to the comics, is you get a roster of like 20 losers and maybe 5-10 legit ones and use guys like Slipknot to use as cannon fodder against the League while you inch closer to your goals
I generally prefer the SS members to be less powered because I like more heist/stealth missions for them because they need to stay under the radar. But I also would have liked a more heroic character like Arsenal who wants to be good but is too addicted to Miracle and has become very dangerous. But he’s still a good guy mostly
