@freddquadros: I've always liked him more as Red Robin where he's doing his own thing outside of Batman's shadow but he is a really good Robin. I just like Dick and Damian's runs as Robin a little bit more.
@strangedr: I'm holding out hope that she's introduced as like Spoiler or something midway through the game. So even if she isn't playable, she'll still be a part of the story in some way. Or I guess WB Games could charge her as post-launch DLC character...
@aichon: But given that argument of marketability, couldn't you just say that given the widespread knowledge of the name "Robin" and the design of the character's outfit, the devs could have just been like "Robin is in Gotham Knights" and put someone in an outfit of red, green, and yellow with a big "R" on it and everyone would have known who the character is, regardless of whether it was Dick, Jason, Tim, Stephanie, Damian, Carrie, Duke, etc? Like, sure, not everyone knows each individual Robin but this game could have been advertised with Robin in it and almost everyone would have known "Oh, that's Batman's sidekick and I like that character even if they look different from how I know them, so maybe I'll buy this game."
@godofheck42: How is it social justice political crap to want a new protagonist who could learn brand-new abilities as opposed to playing a game where we're Cal again and have to relearn everything we did in Fallen Order because he conveniently "forgot" all his skills again? You WANT to play as Cal and just have to relearn everything again? Wouldn't it be more fun to just play as someone else who could have an entirely different kind of skill tree? I think so.
@Pyrosa: Correct. Warner Bros Games patented any gameplay system "for managing non-player characters and power centers in a computer game [that] are based on character hierarchies and individualized correspondences between each character's traits or rank and events that involve other non-player characters or objects," which is broad enough to technically include Grid's Nemesis system. The patent went into effect February 2021 (I believe) which is after Codemasters already put a Nemesis system in Grid (October 2019). So could WBG sue Codemasters/EA for putting a Nemesis system in Grid Legends? Yes. Will they? I don't think so--mainly cause Grid's Nemesis system isn't really based on an in-game hierarchy (like your position in the race and each driver's position in the race doesn't influence it). I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Codemasters is changing the name of the feature to something else though, just to cover bases.
@Smokin105: You can play the Quest missions solo, with two people, or with a full squad of three. Once you've unlocked a mission, you can replay it as much as you want. I'm not sure if they will all stick around when the season changes though--I assume Season 6 will add a whole new set of Quest missions.
@sugarcanez: Both pack an emotional whammy though I think the final battle in Heroes Rising is more colorful when it comes to the animation and it utilizes slow-mo to greater effect. You can definitely tell how Heroes Rising just had a larger budget than the series.
@eli150: Respawn hasn't said, though I'd be willing to bet they bring it back in some type of form in 2020. Probably just limited-time again though--Apex Legends is built around squad combat so keeping a solo mode in all the time doesn't make much sense. For now anyway. Maybe that will change in Year 2.
