WB reportedly wants their own DC IP live service game, and rumors point to an Overwatch/Marvel Rivals clone. ITT we instruct WB lurkers on this board how NOT to fuck it up. What can they learn form NetEase, and what can they do better? Or just post how they'll ruin it.

Wonder Woman having random lines about snapping necks

they need as many black and trans folk as possible to maximize success

>>717232085
Its a meme and outside of Maxwell Lord she hasn't and doesn't want to kill people

>>717232085
They'll also add Steve Trevor, and use his Earth One version

>>717231928 (OP)
oh god DC please stay down

>>717232469
Didn't Gunn say he wants creative say with games in production too? I'm about ready to let him have that power at this point. WB has been fucking up for years, and Gunn is the only one who can steer the DC ship apparently. With the positive buzz from Superman, we may finally get that solo Superman game

>>717232085
Green Arrow having lines about stealing from billionaires and giving it to poor people

I know it's western vs eastern devs in this scenario but would WB finally wake the fuck up and offer fap bait skins? I'm leaning towards yes, but fucking it up by game economy/pricing. And speaking of, bet you any money they'll charge for characters with 50 fucking currencies

>>717232580
>that solo Superman game turns out to be an outsourced to India remake of Superman N64 using Unreal Engine 5

>All characters will refuse to use guns

>>717231928 (OP)
I've said since we got release details about Marvel Rivals that Warner Bros are fundamentally incapable of producing a Rivals competitor. Whatever they make is going to look like Suicide Squad KTJS, and it's going to be loaded to the goddamn gills with predatory microtransactions. They are going to completely and utterly miss everything that's made Rivals successful because WB are the kiss of fucking death.

>>717232213
Transgender is an irrelevant philosophy. If someone were to say to me, "are yout saying trans people dont exist?". I would say, yes! Not only do trans people not exist to me. One one level, it would be correct to say thst you dont exist to me. I dont care about your existence, and so called rights. On another level, I find entire trans philosophy to be invalid. The word gender is meaningless. If you have fully co-opted the word woman, then all I can say is, that I only care about the fact that you are not female. There is no gender. Its a buzzword. There is only sex. Male and female. We used to call them man and woman, but if I need to use different words to clarify, then so be it. Wearing a dress? Women's clothes? Make up? Talking high pitched? Growing your hair long? A male can do all of these things. If you were born with a swinging dick between your legs (I would give deference to actual intersex people, those poor medical mishaps) then you are a male. A man. You will never be a woman. And if woman lost all meaning, just know that when I said woman, I meant female. Was born with a vagina. Nobody will ever recognize you as anything other than what you are, unless they feel like being patronizing that day. Medical chemicals cant change it either. If they can ever successfully replicate the phenomenon that happens in frogs, and fully convert your sex, I will concede. Until then you are just a man. You will always be a man. And you better start studying frog physiology if you have any hope of changing that.

It will be terribly balanced

Once again DC comes in years late trying to imitate what other people are doing.

I'd like the lasso of truth that doesn't work on mansplainers.

Don't. Under any circumstances. Include "THE FLUSH". Introduce Mysterious Speedster X if you must. He can be black or woman for all I care. Just don't make it the Flush.

no big booba power girl

I swear Marvel and DC are having a competition to see who can put the dumbest shit in a comic book.

I don't get it. Was this based on an irl shooter?

Yes, and Batman apparently traveled all the way from gotham city to Florida to investigate it

Man, I remember when it happened, and everyone was freaking out about it. I think Ready or Not made a level based on it, and it still wasn't the most controversial mission in the game.

>>717231928 (OP)
as long as WB has a vice grip on anything DC, the game will be trashed by shit decisions
hope it's not though
will still have way too many Batman characters or gun users

>>717233648
>Rivals already failed financially
Are you fucking high?

Wb cant make a good game, they will fuck it up no matter what because they all recieve special instructions to make the game as mathematically safe and profitable as possible
core audience and gameplay mechanics be damned

the monetization of the smash clone made the roster literally unplayable, they would just pump out another overwatch 2

>>717231928 (OP)
Make it so there are actually an equal number of tank, healer, and dps characters at launch, unlike every other hero shooter

>>717233648
It would take around 2 years of development to eat into its first month of profits, rivals was insanely successful.

Make a good Superman game first.

>>717233137
Waow.

>>717232891
Lex will use a gun but exclusively against Indian players

>>717234547
Actually you know what?
>Superman tank
>Batman duelist
>Wonder Woman healer
Could probably work

Just let the Rivals' team handle and integrate the characters in the already existing game.
Aren't they so risk averse that they copy everything? This would at least guarantee some success.

>>717234063

The best part is that it just takes place in a suburb sidewalk.

If characters didn't get screwed by batwank. Both Flash and Superman could instant solo Batman regardless of how much preptime he has.
I.E. Batman is not stopping superman when he's flinging him into orbit at mach 7.

>>717233592
The moral lesson here is that people should stop going to clubs.

>>717231928 (OP)
Starting roster should be a healthy mix of Headliners, B-tiers, and literal whos from both the hero and villain side. I'd say 30% Headliners, 60% B-tiers, 10% literal whos.
Don't bother trying to make some 'Oh this is why everyone's fighting on the same battlefield' shit, no one really cares about that. Powerscaling is and will always be gay and whoever wins is dependent on who's writing.
Since there's going to be monetization with a battlepass, make it so that completing the entire battlepass gets you enough credits to buy the next battlepass + a little extra if it's completed within the original timeframe.

>>717235650
Well, Gen Z heard that message loud and clear. Nightclubs are slowly dying because youngsters aren't interested in them

You can't adapt superman and flash into an hero shooter.

Atleast F4 castings aren't shy from future fan services.

Give us Joker x Batman. Like I want to see Joker beg Batman to administer justice to that Jokussy, but Batman isn't interested since Joker isn't a little boy.

>>717232891
God DC is so fucking gay.

>>717236043
The various Joker as Robin stories never lasted.

>>717236350
I want to see Joker force Batman to fuck his Jokussy while Batman cries out in tears because he's not a little boy. It's what /tv/ calls, "kino"

>>717231928 (OP)
Just don't make another gaas slop. Market is already saturated and trying to join late in the game is asking for buttrape that will cost 200 million bucks and 5 years of wasted manpower.

>>717236410
I see there is a difference between /co/ and /tv/.

>>717232891
Why does that last panel sound so ESL?

>>717231928 (OP)
They should contract Sony to make it, give them a budget of $200M+, set a $40 price tag and include quirky cinematics.

>>717232580

Raven

Harley Queen
Hawkgirl

it would actually be hilarious if they just did a deal with DC to add DC skins like Fortnite has. Sentry Superman, Batman Moon Knight, Green Arrow Hawkeye, etc. lol

You know exactly what we want.
Booster Gold, Etrigan and Prometheus. Please no batfamily or batman/joker variants

>>717231928 (OP)
DO NOT give it to any of your current studios

>>717231928 (OP)
BORING. I WANT NORMAL SINGLE PLAYER GAMES.

Put your hand on whoever is your superior or co-worker and ask zir/xer "Do you feel like you are in charge?"

>>717236982
Add Terra too!

>>717237381
Imagine the Deathstroke and Terra dialogue/banter

Lean into what Rivals doesn't have with their Marvel roster, Furry bait.

>>717237452
Imagine the Hal Jordan and Arisia dialogue/banter

Dc will run out of characters people care about far before marvel rivals.
I think theirs more xmen characters with decent fanbases than all of dc.

>>717237381
Agreed. She is underrated.

>>717237629
Rivals already has Rocket Raccoon. Add loli characters like Wonder Loli or something. That'd help more.

>>717237452

>>717237820
DC has a lot of derivative heroes they could add, though. Superman, Batman, Flash, and Green Lantern all have a whole family of characters that could be added after them. Superboy and Supergirl, Krypto, Batgirl, Nightwing, Robin, Batwomam, Damian Wayne, Barry Allen, Wally West, Jay Garrick, Reverse Flash, Hal, Jon, Guy, Sinestro, Atrocitus–Injustice 2 got two whole fighting games worth of characters outta DC. i doubt THAT will be the torpedo that sinks their hero shooter.

>WB reportedly wants their own DC IP live service game, and rumors point to an Overwatch/Marvel Rivals clone
Is that not what Suicide Squad was?

>>717235087
Switch Batman and Wonder Woman.

>>717238587
Nobody fucking knows any DC heroes aside from Batman and Superman. It's honestly pathetic how culturally irrelevant DC is.

>>717238969
Most people know Flash, Wonder Woman, and maybe Green Lantern.

>>717231928 (OP)
They will not make the characters hot. They will make them ugly like ssktjl. Gaming companies never learn and only double down.

>>717231928 (OP)
marvel rivals feels very flat and unrealistic physics-wise compared to overwatch, which had more momentum and bounce and action-reaction to it. Overwatch felt more immersive because of that,while rivals feels like you're carboard cutouts moving around at set velocities, like it's an early prototype before they bothered to add all the tactile stuff.

If DC make an overwatch clone too, I would want them to at least reach the level of overwatch when it comes to that kind of thing - I want it to feel the weight and impact and movement much more keenly

>>717231928 (OP)
>how not to fuck it up
Is that even posible at this point? No matter what they do, they're just going to be called a Rivals rip-off.
The only way to win would've been to get a game of their own out before Rivals to start with. It's too late now. Fucking do something else.

>>717231928 (OP)
Trying to replicate another game success by copying it? Seems like WB never learn from their own failures (suicide squad, multiversus, etc.)

>>717238969
Everyone knows Aquaman too.
Just they mainly know him as the guy who fucks seabass.

>>717231928 (OP)
>how NOT to fuck it up
Impossible, they'd need to pull a miracle and make the greatest hero shooter ever.

>>717231928 (OP)
nothing is gonna save this game cause sweet baby has its claws on WB which guarantees that this game is gonna look like ass.

>>717240490
Im ok with this, i want to witness another Concord so bad

Why are they always so fucking slow. No one is going to buy into the hype.

Do you have brain damage?

>>717239869
>HOW DARE YOU!1! I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW AQUA MAN WAS ONE OF THE FOUNDING JUSTICE LEAGUE MEMBERS

Just give DC to Capcom and let them cook a DC vs. and some single player games.

They won't do a DC Rivals game, too far behind and a Western studio would probably fuck it up purely from how much its going to cost to get a foot in the door. I wouldn't see how this would be any different than Multiversus, comes in with the roster and just fucks up core gameplay and content releases too slow. The moment it stumbles its dead in 2027-2028.

Unironically better off making some Marvel Heroes clone but DC with POE2 stumbling a bit and maybe going in a different direction.

If you're gonna add Green Lantern , make sure it's Hal Jordan.

Superman hasn't inspired hope in years, no not even in the latest capeshit movie.

Imagine playing anything from WB. They WILL shut it down in less than a year.

>>717247564

>>717231928 (OP)
No classes, because DPS will outnumber the rest and no on will want to play Tank. I'd say give a selection of gadgets that players can choose 1 from and let a few of those be healing or shielding.

ADD HIM

Imagine if they add Dr. Manhattan and Sandman because they are technically DC.

>>717232891
I don't follow, is he upset because his guns were called out to be ''found in gun stores nation wide''?
also if that is slade wilson, why won't he just stick to his swords. wtf is this shit
