Suicide Squad and Redfall will require a constant internet connection even while played solo, reopening a debate on internet inequity and preservation.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is one of the most anticipated PlayStation 5 games of the year, as it promises that DC Comics fans will get to see their favorite antiheroes wreak havoc in the Batman Arkhamverse. The co-op action game features a storyline straight out of Marvel’s What If…? with most members of the Justice League getting brainwashed by Brainiac. And it has the distinction of featuring Kevin Conroy’s final voice performance as the Dark Knight.
The impulse makes sense, but it presents a double-edged sword. On the player side, constant connections can lead to poor performance or significant frame rate drops. Even when implemented with the best of intentions, the antipiracy tools that come with always-online tech don’t do much to prevent some players from buying games illegally anyways.
Online-only games are part of a wider trend that sees modern gaming being tied to the internet more than ever. Take cloud gaming, for instance. The well-meaning tech posits that anyone with an internet connection can play high-end console games without an expensive device, but that’s still not the case depending on where you live.
Heavy reliance on internet connections disproportionally impacts rural areas in the U.S. and puts those who can’t afford high-speed internet at a disadvantage too. It makes sense for a multiplayer game that doesn’t function without other players, but using the tech for games that can be played solo prevents a frustrating roadblock for many.
