Wonder Woman Game is "Years Away From Release" As Warner Bros. Gaming Division Struggles

  If anyone cares, I wrote a piece addressing this as well. It’s a classic story of a harvard executive not understanding video games, not understanding the industry, and failing at every opportunity. Jason Schreier was the one with the original scoop. Jason’s article is really meaty and worth the read.

  Wonder woman is, in my opinion, an odd choice for a video game. I think it could be really good, and her rope would translate well to video game mechanics, but it doesn’t feel like Wonder Womans time to shine right now

    Thanks for the write up!

    Id argue that I felt the same about Batman not being translatable to a game during the 2000s. Video games based on comics were absolutely awful. Superman 64 was a nightmare, and Batman games were beat-em-ups or platformers.

    But really smart creatives made the Arkham series work. So I’m optimistic that in the hands of strong visionaries, it’s absolutely possible.

    Now, do I think WB has the capacity to make a good Wonder Woman game? Haha nope. Not after what they’ve shown in the last few years.

      A WW game with the same sort of vibe as the latest Indiana Jones might actually rock, now that I think of it. Speaking of Batman, Arkane and the right property in the right hands… that Great Circle game came outta nowhere as far as I was concerned.

      I’m imagining an LA noir style section involving the lasso of truth (?). And i haven’t seen the movies, but watched reviews, and there seems there might need enough upgrade paths to ramp up the combat elements. Maybe she gets with Batman to upgrade her suit?

      Hell, even a tomb raider style origin story might work, if they don’t skimp on the writing team.

    It could be if they made a good game.

    But… the invisible plane! That’s perfect video game material!

  Better fire all their devs, that’ll get it done faster for sure

  I’m not sure I could possibly be less interested in any game than I am with a wonderwoman game.

    I thought it was supposed to have the nemesis system from Shadow of Mordor and I am excited for that to return. Wonder woman takes down Cheetah only for her to return later with a new scar and upgrade based on how you beat her last

    How about if the idle animation is Gal Gadot in full IDF regalia singing “Imagine”?
