A bird fighting game would actually be sick!! Dive bombing falcons, close combat hawks, stealthy owls, tanky eagles!

[@ultimateslinger9857]

I think the Cat simulator Stray did pretty well. So Maybe it’s possible

[@diegopansini3152]

Honestly, that actually sounds like a great idea. Same for wild cats. Tanky tigers, stealthy panther, quick cheetahs, etc.

[@nickstorm21]

Isnt that literally Angry Birds?

[@IAmTheAce5]

The owls of ga’oohle game

[@tashumbriamiller]

Well, not really. They made a "Guardian / Owls of Ga'Hoole" game but it wasn't very fun

[@dragonknight8020]

You know, I actually think the idea of a game based around the ones other than Batman is interesting. But I think a game with good execution is even better

This is probably the most accurate recap of Gotham Knights especially with how gear and weapons are earned

[@coolioso808]

So many new games these days have decent concepts but then throw in annoying parts that kind of ruin the overall experience. "Games as a Service" or games that encourage micro-transactions just suck the ever loving fun out of games. Really, truly, fun games are few and far between these days as far as I can tell.

[@phillipjohnson8903]

Yeah I feel like Rocksteady have a better understanding of and feel for the DC universe. They did a great job with the previous three Batman games and there’s no reason to think Suicide Squad will be any different.

[@edgardovaldez9775]

Sometimes the movie ones are better, sometimes the game ones are better. But you're def right, this week's prize goes for the honest game trailer (i literally ended skipping the song in pocahontas)

[@JustinZarian]

@@edgardovaldez9775 yeah I barely made it to that part. It was just the same joke over and over, and the joke wasn’t even funny (which I guess is the point cause it’s “educational,” but it’s still not fun to watch or listen to). On the whole, I feel the game trailers are more balanced in their jokes without having to hit the same aggressive notes over and over again or feel like they have to loudly make a point. But yeah, the saving private Ryan trailer was better, so it is possible for the movie guys to be funny

Just as an FYI on the live service model joke at 1:15, on a recent episode of Triple Click Jason Schreier said he asked a contact of his that worked on the game from the start about it and they said there were never any plans for it to have microtransactions, as live service games tend to have, so it doesn't seem to have been designed as a live service after all. For reference he said it in Triple Click episode 127.
