Im a brickmaster. Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Im not real thrilled for this installment. Largely due to Rocksteady not being involved. I don't care how many games WB Montreal has made it won't hold a candle to Arkham city. I'll wait and when this guy puts up gameplay videos, I will watch them, just with less excitement. http://m.youtube.com/user/BatmanArkhamVideos Quote

Do you also think the Earth is flat? Quote
Im a brickmaster. Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Well, no. Im sure they both will good in there own respects. Arkham city was an amazing game and its a a hard game to follow up, even if its a prequall. Call me a semi-disgruntled fan, worried about quality, who happens to like the previous games a lot. Are you going to sue? Quote
BrickG Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Even if it's made well I'm getting kind of sick of the gameplay. Arkham City was Arkham Asylum with a slightly more open map. I'd like to see some bigger changes. Or something more... epic? Idunno maybe actually like have GOTHAM explorable. Have the Batmobile, Batwing, etc all playable. Quote

I think the problem with including free roam in the Batmobile and Batplane comes down to two things. First of all the Map would need to be huge, and at the moment few games can have a large free roam world and good graphics. Second I fear the game will become two much like Grand theft auto. LEGO batman two had that problem for me. Running people over and damaging across the city doesn't really belong in a batman game, and it would take me personally away from the allusion of being the good guy. While many would say just don't run people over, that's not really easy to do. I recently played LEGO Batman and went out of my way to avoid pedestrians, but they just constantly step out in front of you. For me the Gliding works fine and while may be slow at times, is very unique to the game. Basically if it ain't broke don't fix it. All we really need is more Playable characters ( main story for robin ), some new gadgets and a few new mechanics ( like maybe being able to smash through windows to get to places) games like Halo, Cod, Assassins creed, grand theft auto and many more, seemed to have not changed much over the years but deep down they have but still maintain the same basics.

Well, there are several ways I think we'll be avoiding the scenario you envision: 1) The AI for the NPC will likely be better than in a Lego game. 2) We likely won't be able to drive the Batmobile. 3) The game takes place on Christmas Eve. At night. We likely won't be seeing many civilians. 4) The game, like it's previous instalments, won't let you attack friendly NPC's. Any attempts to attack the doctors/guards/political prisoners/etc would result in your attack missing/going through them. Quote
The Penguin Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 NAG Magazine revealed that WB Games Montreal have decided to go with a new voice talent to reflect their younger version of the Dark Knight. The identity of this voice actor has not yet been revealed. Well, kind of something one can actually expect! I personally don't mind a bit. Good day, ladies and gentlemen! ) Quote
Cammo Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Lots of news today: - Deathstroke/Slade will be playable: - Conroy will voice Batman in another unknown Batman game. - Box art: - Rumoured Villain: - Other screenshots (pretty big, therefore only hyperlinks): http://images.vg247....m-Origins-3.jpg http://images.vg247....m-Origins-2.jpg http://images.vg247....m-Origins-4.jpg http://images.vg247....m-Origins-5.jpg http://images.vg247....m-Origins-6.jpg http://image.noelsha...365580120-1.jpg http://image.noelsha...365580122-9.jpg http://image.noelsha...365580121-6.jpg - The new trailer: Edited May 20, 2013 by Cammo Quote
Spider-Man Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 That trailer was awesome! Can't wait for this game to come out Going to be an expensive fall with this and the LEGO Marvel Superheroes game to pre-order! Quote
The Penguin Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Well, the trailer is indeed most imposing. I find it rather amusing to see Batman fighting against all those mercenaries, rather than an established gang of villains. No Penguin in the trailer? ( Good day, ladies and gentlemen! ) Quote
Krulis Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 As big fan of Arkham games al I can say that my jaw dropped to the floor after seeing trailer. :thumbup: And when I thought it can't get any better Deathstroke gets anounced as plyable character and Joker's apperence is confirmed. Also who is the guy seen on the wall in second screenshot? Quote
The Penguin Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Is Joker confirmed? I couldn't find any proof. Please, care to share. Because actually I don't want to see him in the game. Seriously. I don't. Good day, ladies and gentlemen! ) Quote
Krulis Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Is Joker confirmed? I couldn't find any proof. Please, care to share. Because actually I don't want to see him in the game. Seriously. I don't. Good day, ladies and gentlemen! ) The screen from few posts back (the one hidden in spoiler) is from IGN exclusive interview if I remember corectly. Also aperance of Joker (who has hidden series of explosives in city) has got perfect sense since the game is a prequel. And he will propably be side mission anyway. Edited May 20, 2013 by Krulis Quote
The Penguin Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 I still do not see proof of him being there. This art doesn't really show that. but for all that I care, if he is in, I'd rather have him be a minor side-mission character. Too much of Joker these days. Good day, ladies and gentlemen! ) Quote
Oky Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Two words: Sweet trailer! Also who is the guy seen on the wall in second screenshot? I believe that's Azrael, but I could be wrong. Is Joker confirmed? I couldn't find any proof. Please, care to share. Because actually I don't want to see him in the game. Seriously. I don't. Well, a screenshot of him is as good a proof as you can get. Sorry. And if you ask me, more Joker is never a bad thing, especially if he is voiced by Hamill! Quote
CMP Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Well, a screenshot of him is as good a proof as you can get. Sorry. And if you ask me, more Joker is never a bad thing, especially if he is voiced by Hamill! I don't believe he is this time. I thought Arkham City would be his last laugh, pun completely and totally intended. It looks like it's Troy Baker. Quote
Professor Flitwick Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Looks good so far. I, like the Penguin, hope that Jokers role is diminished in this game. I'm trying to avoid spoiling this one (I knew practically every character involved in Arkham City, and felt like it spoilt the experience for me), so I'll probably have to refrain from looking here before long. Also who is the guy seen on the wall in second screenshot? I believe that's Azrael, but I could be wrong. It's Anarky, actually. Hope we see a few more obscure villains like him. Quote
The Penguin Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Is it actually a screenshot? looks more like some art to me? Oh, well, never mind....... Yup, read the article. Thuy just couldn't resist, could they? Still against him. Overdose is much worse. If you ask me, i'd even leave Penguin out! Both because I hate Arkhamverse Penguin and because some less known characters should also get a chance. Batman has much more to offer than overused standard selection of creeps. Good day, ladies and gentlemen! ) Quote
Im a brickmaster. Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 I think it would really cool if at the end of the it turns out to be a flashback, with present Batman ( As seen in the past games) reflecting on one of his first big adventures after the death of the Joker. Maybe with a cameo from Kevin Conroy.... Quote
Tobias_Jay Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Dude… that is a big spoiler to those who have not finished Arkham City. Quote
Spider-Man Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 I'm working my way through it now and I had no idea it was a spoiler until your comment pointed it out I'm still not sure I even understand how it's a spoiler yet so I will consider that a good thing! Quote
def Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Dude… that is a big spoiler to those who have not finished Arkham City. Who participates in a thread for a sequel to a two year old game they haven't played Quote
Krulis Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Who participates in a thread for a sequel to a two year old game they haven't played Actually, it's a prequel. Quote
def Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Actually, it's a prequel. Right, sorry. Please ignore my post, it's irrelevant Quote
