With E3 ending tomorrow, I doubt that we will get any new info on any more DC games being released. We found out a week before E3 that Injustice 2 will be coming out and after the Sony conference we were shown the new Batman Arkham VR. We also know that WB Montreal is working on two AAA DC titles which still have yet to be released. How do you guys feel about Injustice and Arkham VR? And what do you think the two unnamed titles are? Here is my little rant on how I feel about this news and how what I HOPE to expect in the future.
Injustice 2
I am very indifferent to these Injustice games on one hand, the story is great we have access to so many characters but on the other hand, its just a fighting game. There is no depth gameplay wise because its strictly a fighting game so after a while it gets old. Also im not a fan of the costumes or the look of most of the heroes...especially Superman who strangely looks like Ed Boon in the new trailer?! Aquaman looks like an ugly Ken doll...totally opposite of what we're about to see in JL but whatever. I can live with it for what it is. As long as DC and WB plan on releasing other games as well.
Batman Arkham: VR
Here is another game I cant decide how I feel about. In my opinion, I think we are getting beat over the head with Batman. And before you say "Oh you're a Superman fanboy you hate Batman" Yeah I am a Superman fanboy..but I F*&^%$% love Batman!! These Arkham games have put DC on the map for video games and they are amazing.
BUT. And yes there is a but, we have 4 Arkham games at this point with 5 on the way, Rocksteady released a statement saying they had to come back for "one more" but they keep putting a cap on it, and thats why I feel like they cant let it go. Either continue the series, or switch to another DC hero, cough cough SUPERMAN cough, or be done and let someone else continue. Also the Telltale Batman game is on the way which does seem very different and cool. Arkham VR is hit or miss, we dont know anything besides possibly Nightwing is killing and we have to figure out who did it, and that you can literally put on the cowl. Do we have combat? Gliding? or is just a detective style missions? (Wouldnt mind that) That does seem cool but two Batman games and one is exclusive to PS4? Not digging that. I love me some Batman but when do the other heroes get their shot? Im hoping thats what WB Montreal is working on.
Two AAA DC Titles from WB Montreal
Now these are the two mystery titles which as far as I know are not either of the games mentioned above.
There are so many rumors going around that one of these is a Suicide Squad game and the other is a Superman game, also i've heard a Batman game where you are Damian Wayne? eh.
Suicide Squad
I really hope this is just a rumor, I dont see this game being all that fun. It would most likley be a squad based shooter, or a FPS and we already have tons of those. I just cant see this game being a hit anyway I look at it, doesnt mean I wouldnt give it a chance but it doesnt seem that great. Id much rather have a Superman, Flash or Green Arrow game than a SS game.
Superman
This is a must. WB Montreal or Rocksteady need to tackle this. All those easter eggs in Arkham Knight I thought for sure we would see at least a trailer at E3 for this. Was very upset when the Sony conference ended with nothing on Superman. I dont care what anyone says, the game is possible and I hope WB Montreal is working on it as we speak.
Here is the link of the reddit page that lists why everyone thinks this game is in development.

DC needs to take their flagship character and get behind him. Stop saying he doesnt sell after one movie and then just go right back to Batman. Get behind him and start pushing out some games ASAP.
Arkham with Damian Wayne
This feels like a stretch but yeah this sounds terrible. I dont want to play as anyone other than Bruce Wayne or Terry Mcguinnes if its a batman game. Batman Beyond would be great but this sounds like they just cant let the Arkham series go, which seems to be the case already.
How do you guys feel about the two games (Injustice and Arkham VR)?
And what do you want the two AAA titles to be?
