But to tease the game a year ago for what felt like a reveal was close by and then be silent until this?
Feels like the game's development was rebooted somehow, and even the voice acting sounded bad except for Mr. Freeze.
I just watched that gameplay demo... nevermind, I take back my excitement. That performance is rough. Worse yet, it's another fucking open world RPG with scrap and loot.
I couldn't really tell how old the characters were supposed to be, but that's good to hear.
No worries!
And Wayne Manor is usually to the north in the outskirts? Time to bring out my Gotham puzzle map that's stored under the bed until we can frame it...
You got 4 games over the course of 6-7 years on console. That's enough.
Non-existant. Too bad he still exists in the rest of the DC universe.
I mean, I care... Tim is my favourite superhero.
Shit, he's probably my favourite fictional character.
Hey WB
I"d pay $20!

I also would pay these monies.
He sounds like a teenager and they point out that he's the youngest.
If DC includes Cass, especially with a Bat title, I will buy 100 ResetEra users the character. Bookmark this post.Hey WB

It's more than that. Rocksteady cleared house with Arkham Knight. For instance they gave Mr. Freeze a happy ending - which could still allow for him as a villain in this game (The New Batman Adventures did it) but would mean contradicting the spirit of that ending.
It would be a lot of that. Arkham Knight even explored the events directly after the end of the main story in the DLCs.
It would just be limitations for the sake of a continuity they'd probably undermine anyway.
Was a little bummed with the trailer opening telling us that Batman is gone, but I'm over it already, especially after seeing gameplay.
Looks great

I forgot how amazing that game looked, goddamn.You know its not a sequel to Arkham Knight when Jason does not have that stupid J scar on his face.
Seems more like an exception because they couldn´t get it running in an acceptable way on the current gen consoles.
Seriously. I know it's technically a highly customized version of the engine, but it still wrinkles the brain to think it's running on Unreal Engine 3 and was an early-ish PS4 title.
The strength of the art direction, and how it's executed through the lighting and environment design, is one part of it, but the actual character models are nuts.
understandably I was just mentioning the whole situation as weird. Sorry
Ok now that we got the obvious out of the way he faked his death I guess the better question would be if they let you play as Batman towards the end of the game maybe final mission?
They didn't directly name Barbara in the trailer so I wasn't 100% on that, I also just chalked up Tim's look to the art style. As for Gordon, yeah, I suppose that this could have been set a few years after the ending but that wouldn't make much sense as they're just watching Bruce's video. Also, I wasn't really being a stickler for the details since Arkham Origins is legitimately set in the same continuity as the Rocksteady games and that has continuity errors and lore mistakes out the ass so I figured WB Montréal weren't really sticklers for detail. My mistake, though!
In any event, I like the direction that they seem to be heading with the narrative aside from personally preferring Cassandra over Babs as Batgirl. The gameplay itself on the other hand... yikes.
People rag on Arkham Knight but seriously in 5 years we'll be looking back like "holy shit we didn't know how good we had it"
I have my problems with Arkham Knight, but... yeah, it's STILL a stunning game.
Yeah. I remember Arkham Knight being one of the first games to drop 360/PS3 support, and that game came out 1.5 years into the console cycle. This probably targeted early 2021 before the pandemic ruined everything
Likely MIA, found but maybe brainwashed or driven partially mad by the Court, late game boss. Then at the end Bruce sees how the family has taken up the Batman name in their own unique ways and has the idea for Batman Inc. There is your sequel bait.
The camera work was outstanding and I will once again take this excuse to share this analysis of it:
I don't think it has loot. Could be wrong though. I know it has materials it seems.
Don't know how interesting the game is for me.
The cast plus the typical always the same kind of stale multiplayer genre both turns me immediately away.
Feels a bit like if Nintendo announced a new Mario Kart but now with the name Mushroom Kingdom Kart and with a Goomba, Iggy, Roy and Lemmy as main cast.

I am no big Batman fan but i liked Asylum and Origins, i have a feeling regardless of what they tried with this game people would be disappointed anyways.
instead of yet another game with Batman you get different chars to play, people going:"lame! where is Batman?"
instead of yet another freeflow combat system they tried something new, people going:"lame! where is my over 10 years old freeflow combat?"
instead of doing another entry in the Arkhamverse, they are doing a soft reboot and people going:"lame! Arkham is where its at!"
there was just no chance to get people excited about this game which shows that most gamers are fine with playing the same shit again and again instead of getting something different.
I said this about The Batman cartoon, but if you add sci-fi lights to something that's lethal/dangerous I will 100% buy that it has a stun feature.It's crazy how much more colourful and vibrant GK is compared to AK.
Haha, I would be incredibly surprised if Cass every actually became a playable character, but sure.
Whenever Babs took down enemies in the demo, it was depositing points into what looked like a chest piece with a green background. I took that as a loot item with the green being the rarity.
I'd love to be wrong, obviously, but it's a worrying sign.
