Warner Bros has just released Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League on PC. Powered by Unreal Engine 4, the game was heavily criticized for looking quite bad. Or at least that’s what some people who got early access to the game claimed. After trying it, though, we can say that Suicide Squad can look great on PC. And no, it’s nowhere close to how bad those people tried to make it look like.
For our initial tests, I’ve used an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 32GB of DDR5 at 6000Mhz, and NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4090. I also used Windows 10 64-bit, and the GeForce 551.23 driver. Moreover, I’ve disabled the second CCD on our 7950X3D.
Suicide Squad supports DLSS, FSR and Ray Tracing. Rocksteady used RT to enhance the game’s reflections. However, not all of the reflections are ray-traced. For instance, I found some windows while exploring the environments that had low-res cubemaps (and could not reflect the players). That’s kind of disappointing.
For those wondering, our NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 was able to run the game with constant 60fps at Native 4K/Max Settings with Ray Tracing. For our tests, we used the first open-world area you encounter (right after meeting Green Lantern). The game’s open-world areas put a lot of stress on the CPU and GPU. As such, they can give us a pretty good idea of how the rest of the game will run. I’ve heard that later stages are more demanding but I haven’t tested these late stages yet.
NVIDIA DLSS looks great in this game, and we highly recommend using it. The following screenshots are with DLSS Quality at 4K. So, go ahead and take a look at them.
As I said, Suicide Squad can actually look great on PC. From what I know, the PC version has identical settings to the consoles. So, I don’t know how people made the console versions look this bad. Seriously, take a look at the following comparison. Here’s the water on PC (left) and the water that people shared online for drama purposes (right). Look at them. Just, LOOK AT THEM.
The big problem with Suicide Squad: KTJL is that it uses a real-time lighting system. Since the game does not use RTGI and RTAO, it can look flat during specific lighting conditions. This is nothing new. We’ve seen this in all games that use a rasterized real-time lighting system. Unreal Engine 5 was able to address this with Lumen, but Suicide Squad uses UE4.
So, there are times when the game can look flat. Take for instance the second to last screenshot. Yes, that one looks flat due to its lighting. However, for the most part (at least in its opening hours), the game can look great.
Another graphical issue with this game is its low LOD. In some panoramic screenshots, you can easily spot the low-quality models in the distance, especially for the trees. The game, especially on PC, would GREATLY benefit from higher LOD settings. So, I really don’t know why Rocksteady has not offered an “Extreme/Ultra” setting for it.
And I get it. We all hate Suicide Squad. But let’s hate it for legit reasons. Let’s hate it because Rocksteady lied about it not being a GaaS game. Let’s hate it because it’s a bad game. However, let’s not straight-up lie about its graphics. Yes, this isn’t a graphical powerhouse. But if you believe the following screenshots look bad, then you really need to check your eyes.
And you know what? We’ve known about the benefits of pre-baked lighting for quite some time. This is nothing new. Take for instance Assassin’s Creed Unity and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. AC: Unity used pre-baked lighting, and looked spectacular. AC: Valhalla (and Mirage and Origins) used a real-time rasterized lighting system. As such, Unity had more consistent visuals than these other games.
Anyway, our PC Performance Analysis for this game will go live later this weekend. Until then, enjoy the following screenshots!

They will shut the servers down the line anyway, why bother?
This benchmark went out too fast. Hole Johnny had time to refund game after benchmarks
Its crazy the amount of toxicity there is in the air today. There are plenty of reasons to hate the game but from what I’ve seen and heard from friends or content creators is that the core game is at some level relatively fun.
Your friends are mentally ill.
possibly lol, they really like superhero games.
So you heard from “friends” who could be wrong, and content creators who cold be sold, that it’s at “some level” “relatively” fun.
Well just read yourself again and see how you and everyone implied has doubts about its quality, BDSM fans can also take a kick on the b*lls with a smile, because it’s at some level relatively fun
I’m just trying to be fair to the opinions of the friends I’ve known for years because while I’m not a fan of most of these superhero games I know a lot of people do and this one doesn’t look that far off from what normally does well. I had asked them what they thought and they told me its better than they expected and they’ve been playing it on and off while I’ve been playing Infinite Wealth. The Content Creators I’ve seen reviews from overall gave the game negative reviews but I feel the sections about the gameplay again just sounded like what I guess an outsider would expect of the genre.
if you have woke friends and watch woke creators ofc they will say its fun, for everyone else its absolute garbage.
woke games can be fun too look at baldurs gate 3. Im just saying that it doesnt look like the absolute worst garbage game that has come out in the past year.
maybe check out the review titled “Suicide Squad’ is vapid, repetitive, and gross…” – luke stephens
https://youtu.be/QVX-cWP43BE
I just feel like its not the absolute worst game that came out in the past year and that by giving it all this attention instead of ignoring it props up the engagement for it to continue. Like people talked so much sh*t about that velma show a year or two ago but now it has a second season from all the hate engagement it got since i don’t even recall seeing an iota of good press about the show.
Yes the “toxicity” …
Reminds me of how Lex Luthor was re written as a feminist activist, denuncing “toxic masculinity” :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-vumYv0odo
Who is toxic ? Who is pushing its agenda, even at the cost of destroying characters and licenses ?
Is that really how Wonder Woman looks in the game? They took the “woman” out of Wonder Woman.
I mean it kinda feels like when people were dogpiling on that Velma show a year or two ago and hate indulging it and its outrage content instead of just not watching it. Now it has a season 2. The way people are hating on it despite having mostly positive steam reviews and a ton of players on steam can’t mean that the game is that bad and the better option would be to just ignore it. As for the “woke” stuff I’ve grown indifferent. I don’t see it changing much during our lifetime. Even with Luthor being a Corporate Capitalist it doesnt really seem out of bounds today for him to even be like that given todays climate.
John no one said this game looks bad. People complained about the gameplay, hud, and colorful visual effects.
Literally above your comment, lol
NikTek’s video and its comment section say otherwise.

I give it up, you’re right. I forgot how rytarded and braindead the mob with pitchforks could get.
dude did you even see what happens in this game how dude pulls his dork out and pisses on flash, or how they shoot batman in the head point blank but then treat wonder woman with respect because wahman? and there’s even more to it than that. and yes, the graphics are worse than the arkham games that came out A DECADE AGO!!?
but bottom line is, F*** this game. not sure why you are simping for it so hard?
It looks worse than Arkham Knight in almost every screenshot
The bigger issue is how bad the devs, marketing machine and such lie outright about their games, then the paid adverts, like this site mostly, come in and spread it around. Then there are either ai bots paid for or just dumbos who defend these devs, cpdurtards are an example, and so are bethesda-M$ etc Enough stupids out there just waiting to pay up, even before the game is released, may as well take their money. Graphics are secondary to the gameplay imo but can add a lot if the game is fun to play. The tribe has used chatgpt in secret for a long long time if they decided to give it attention in their press on 11-22-22 and that ceo is easily a..nother jutraneeman mask faced weirdo.
You are delusional. Here, let me remind you the article I wrote a while ago.
https://www.dsogaming.com/articles/rocksteady-in-damage-control-can-anything-save-its-gaas-game/
Just because I don’t like this game doesn’t mean I will lie about its graphics. And when I say that it has great graphics it doesn’t mean that it’s a great game. People should really go back to the basics, and learn to read and listen to what someone says.
These graphics aren’t good, no one is lying. They have no style, soul or anything. You are defending high asset textures John. You also seem to be confused about bitrate on videos not looking the same as a best case scenario screenshot with much better compression.
wtf you on about joannasteinberg? got those legs wide open as usual.. effu with a bullet
I prefer proper story,gameplay over beautiful graphics.. And Suicide Squad doesn’t tick any of the boxes.
Games are now Hollywood and Hollywood is now political messaging that loses 100-200 million a movie that is funded by bad bank loans. Taxpayers already struggling with inflation and who will soon be starving are paying for this crap. The same minorities Hollywood and these game developers claim to champion.
Do me a favor and link pictures of the “writers” on this game John. Any “man” shilling this crap is just trying to justify purchase of the 4090 they now know is useless because Triple A gaming is dead. Almost all the companies are using the same mentally ill banker backed and pushed writers from companies like Sweet Baby Inc. The goal of this company is to destroy the family dynamic, turn goyim women against men and men against women and make it so that men have no say, because men actually speak up when getting screwed. At least they used to…
As Pirate Pete once stated “Denuvo infested slop at best”
The game still makes me think it’s Crackdown 3: DC edition.
Garbage woke is garbage, even at its best still looks worse then 9 year old Arkham. Shilling for that garbage… John dude, read the room.
John like many PC Gamers has to justify his GPU when there are no new games to play with stories worth a darn and he seems to like story games. Eventually he will realize a company appeared out of nowhere (Sweet Baby Inc) which magically is now being hired to write and consult every new Triple A release from every big company, even though the founders (twitter they/ them calling herself bagel of death) and of course a David, were middling writers who no one would promote even at Ubisoft whose stories suck, because they had so little talent. Look behind the funding of this company and who is pushing them and you will 100 percent see bankers, Blackrock, Vanguard just like Hollywood.
what worries me is, yeah the original rocksteady founders left and started a new game studio, but they only left in 2022. which means they were there for most of this games development.
More like it was impossible to work with WB anymore (same thing with Disney) because all these big property games are just becoming Hollywood movies with the same propaganda being pushed. When they can’t push you out and you have a lot of talent as a writer they try to ruin lives with false accusations. See Chris Avellone who had to sue because the entire industry cancelled him based on lies.
When you know that amount, than why blame the companie?
Just tell what it actually is an don’t beat around the bush: The New World Order, which was 1992 renamed and pushed as Agenda 21, now as Agenda 2030/Great Reset.
The ruling elite pushing their 1984-communism-stakeholder capitalism.
And it’s not about “woke, black vs. white, trans-whatever, feminism whatever” – that’s all social engineering.
It’s not even about 1) ESG, CEI, DEI pushing that social engineering and the 2) climate hoax.
It’s about pushing the social credit system onto the globe.
For that they use this 1) social engineering and 2) climate hoax, to force every company on the globe on board.
Mentioning these things helps a lot more than playing into the hands of this ruling global elite by constantly talking about “woke”.
There is no woke. Only social engineering.
I’d take some more meth. Clearly you’re doing great mentally. 🙂
Ahhh, look at that:
1) either someone just trolling, for fun, or clueless about the whole world situation and what’s going on
2) or the typical lackey of the NWO-global ruling elite, squatting anywhere inside their NGOs, CIA, NSA, Mossad, WEF hidden facilities.
Doing his lackey-job pushing social engineering, in this case defamation and discrediting, with “cool sounding responses trying to make the other side look dumb”.
Oh wait. Who said that account “Boaz”h ere is a human?
Could be one of their millions bots around the web.
Nice try. Won’t help, try better.
dont forget Soros
I’m sure he reads the room but ignores it, because if he only depends on people who think like you, he’ll probably have a considerably smaller reader base and Nvidia wouldn’t send him a 5090 for free.
Ah yes. A classic for my block list: a user spouting “woke”, “shill”, “tard” etc etc. I really do wonder where these were raised and “educated”?
Arkham Knight still looks better.
Who cares if it can run on a 4090 maxed out native when 90 percent of the people reading this could not afford one anyway.
Much fewer than that. If you accept the Steam Hardware Survey they showed that only 0.91% reported using a RTX 4090. Less than 1 out of a hundred. Even less than that are running an RTX 3090. It’s a very niche group of gamers indeed.
“Suicide Squad: Kill the Developer Rocksteady”
I heard its extremely cpu bound on older cpu especially if you enable ray tracing.
It is. UE4 mainly uses few CPU threads and the RT overloads the main thread. We’ve seen this too in other UE4 games that used Ray Tracing (Gotham Knights and The Callisto Protocol are two great examples). DLSS 3 and FSR 3.0 would have greatly helped in this game.

are you on crystal John? Game looks like it was released in 2012
Well John must surely love POS PS2 kinda graphics!
Oh man just say Unreal, and he wet his pants..LOL!
Your insights are a beacon of light.
It should run at 8K 120FPS native, considering how bad it looks visually!
I’m looking at the screenshots and I’m bored of the game already. Looks completely bland and uninspired. Like a low budget game from a few years ago.
How to know an upcoming game will feature awful writing. This company came out of nowhere and is now on the biggest narrative games in the world. They were only consultants to enforce “diversity” and with Suicide Squad they are now the writers. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/bcbfb422e5067baba0186bd66d7e3303c164d5250e7a80e3301a465a30687fd0.jpg
Top right and top left looks like one of your people “Bruce”.
Nah her nose and twitter handle of “Bagel of Death” means it’s one of yours, just like politician AOC. It’s adorable that you think only Arabs are noticing all the coincidences with the tribe you belong to when you have been kicked out of over 100 countries. The Bolsheviks you created killed my people in the Katyn Massacre. It’s an event your media and Mossad Epstein blackmailed politicians tried to blame on Germany until all the lies eventually failed to hold up. Good thing you criminalize investigating other lies that humanitarian organizations like the Red Cross called out in the 1940’s huh? Now you are hard at work killing more Slavs with a country you hijacked to depopulate and turn into new Khazaria. The country their fighting has a puppet leader ruled by your peoples “oligarchs” and he prays before the wailing wall just like the actor in charge of Ukraine.
I will take Arabs as a friend over you any day. Even though the picture below was the last thing they saw when they tried to invade the home of my ancestors. They actually respect Jesus now days while the Babylonian Talmud orders you to subvert, cheat and kill all Christians. They were also man enough to fight themselves, which is something your people have never done since Edom collapsed. Since then you have subverted every host nation you have been in starting with Israel in antiquity. They foolishly took you in due to also being S(h)emites and you set up subversion like Herod “the great” (was from Idumea/Edom) who killed real Hebrew children and teamed up with invaders. Just like you did with Spain.

Keep writing these essays, I’m going to read them like I always have “Bruce”.
Personally I think all you Old World Tribes are f**ked in the head ….. You are constantly at war with each other over religion for the last 3000 years without a break …. The really sad part is you exported your religious nonsense over to the Americas
Doesn’t that get a bit tiring after a while?
ladeeboi and likely tribester traneeman there oof but that’s “normal” in the media for a long time and vgames are no different.
are you on crystal John? Game looks like it was released in 2012
Try looking again. 2012 brought us Mass Effect 3, Bioshock Infinite and Far Cry 3.
Owns a 4090; plays games at 60 fps. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
Wonderful web site. Lots of useful info here. I’m sending it to a few friends ans additionally sharing in delicious. And obviously, thanks to your effort!
I know this is a pc site but instead of focusing on this horrible game and all the horrible stuff that is in it, let’s talk about something that is the direct opposite of it: Stellar Blade. I am sure it will make it to pc at some point. John, are you interested in it? Is anyone else interested in it? Look up some of the outfits you can get for Eve in the game.
It doesn’t matter how a game looks when it’s full of stutter.
Has the game a native HDR implementation?
That’s the feature that increases immersion, image quality and fun, x-times more than any graphical settings cranked to the max. or ray/path traced global illumination.
I understand that majority of pc gamers won’t know this, since they’re stuck on PC moniturds and thinks “it’s the way to go”, instead playing on high quality w-oled/qd-oled TVs.
Console players are in fact enjoying a much higher immersion, image quality and fun due to this.
The visual style of Arkham Knight is much more realistic and impressive, however the Suicide Squad is using more advanced graphics effects. For example, the character models in Suicide Squad look next-gen compared to Arkham Knight.
You can use the most advanced graphics techniques available, but without a good graphics style, the game is going to look unimpressive. For example I’m a fan of the original Gears Of War and I was excited to play the remake. Gears Of War Ultimate has more advanced graphics techniques and more detailed assets but I still prefer the graphics in the original game becasue of it’s style.
well i got kicked off the steam forums today for getting in to it with some wokes. i guess someone reported me for harrassment. it’s funny how they get away with it all day long. and now i can’t go in there and report any of them because at that point all my options in the forum are gone.
makes me want to go in there and start mass reporting them when i get my privleges back but really don’t want waste my time stooping to their level.
also looks like steam is manipulating reviews to try and cover for rocksteady. on the store page it shows mostly positive reviews but if you click “show all reviews” you see nothing but thumbs down. supposedly they aren’t counting the refunds or people with less than 2 hours playtime in the review count.
edit: oh and in the time i spent in there this morning i ran into a guy that started a curator page that tags all games that have been tainted by sweet baby inc. if anyone’s interested https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44858017-Sweet-Baby-Inc-detected/
Your passion for your craft is contagious.
I found myself engrossed in the article’s narrative, a testament to the author’s storytelling skills.
The game really sh*ts on all the male superheroes like it’s a form of art. More like art of Misandry.
It’s Ma’am!
