WB Montreal teasing the next Batman game - Capture The Knight
- Thread starter Kenzodielocke
- Start date
Even Single Player GaaS would be disappointing. Those tend to be bloated games that try to take up time with as many reused activities as possible. Despite how much there is to do in Arkham Knight, it can still be beaten in a reasonable amount of time. The last thing I want is a 160 hour Batman RPG, though I do see how that may appeal to others.
Edit: I hope we get the League of Shadows lead by Shiva as well

What if it turns out to be a Pokemon GO clone where you have to "Capture the Knight" and you play as The Joker.
Since Batman doesn't kill (ostensibly) and the Court and League have artificial life prolonging methods, it could really work here.
You take out a lieutenant by popping out of a floor grate, and when they show up again, they order their team to sabotage floor grates, like how Mr. Freeze does in Arkham City.
They could also play up how terrified they are of Batman (or whoever you're playing as) in subsequent encounters based on what they player does
Would loved a Origins sequel with a Batcave and a open Gotham City on the Unreal Engine 4
Lmao.. How did it took you to come up with this?

The problem with this is that it would be sort of out of character for Batman to just be walking around the streets of Gotham with a bunch of civilians. It works with Spiderman, but Batman works in the shadows.
:o
You just make him auto-grapnel away if you go down to street level. Like he already does in many situations. Problem solved.
It would be really immersive having the public moping around, especially as a more grounded hero like the bat.
Feel like that is taking too much control away from the player. I'd rather have the ability to go to the ground. Maybe people flee, maybe they gasp and clap or something like Spider-Man
Or maybe they don't even believe you're Batman so they just stare at you weird and ask why you are wearing a silly costume. And then if you start grappling around or fighting people they gawk or run away. And they could set the game in a constantly, almost pitch dark setting so you have plenty of places to hide and NPCs won't see you that much anyway.
If it was set in the right way this could work well.
It could be Batman has been demonised so if you land they run away in terror.
To be on street level in daytime you need to dress as Bruce or Matches
Yep. It would be nice to have some sections as Bruce, just like Insomniac's Spider-Man had some sections of Peter.
I'm kind of less and less inclined to believe this will be at SOP today.
You'd think they'd give ANY hint to watch today. But they haven't.

same, 2015 feels like yesterday. But in gaming terms so much has changed. We have loot boxes, games with microtransactions galore, game companys releasing games that arent finished for at least another year, or how they wanna call it "live service" games.
I just hope that WB has the decency to not be another me2 company and stick one(or all of the above) in the next batman game.
I really liked batman arkham origins, i played the heck out of the wiiu version. So arkham origins 2 is more than welcome.
But all the WB montreal people who put Nintendo switch under their skills tab on linkedin for more than a year does have me wonder if its also coming to switch. I mean why put switch under your skills tab and not even working with the device?
The Arkham subreddit entered a pit of despair these past 5 years. They've been analyzing every tweet/video/interview/kid drawing they could find to find clues about the new Arkham.
This week, it has exploded in joy and confusion.
I've got a gut feeling that we won't see it at SOP. Hope I'm wrong though!
It would be a bummer though, really want to know now what kind of game we can expect from WB. Maybe they'll just reveal it one of these days with a trailer or maybe at TGA?
When else would they reveal it though? SOP would be the perfect time to reveal because a lot of people will be tuning for Last of Us 2.
Don't get me wrong, I'm itching for a new Arkham game. Hopefully SoP delivers. If not, yeah probably TGA.
True, and I hope we see it today. I Completely agree, makes sense due to number of people watching the stream. If not today you've got to think they'll be looking towards The Game Awards.
The second best one. It got a bad rap at launch, I think it's the best story of all four, the best designs and the environment is awesome (Christmas Gotham).
Really really underratedm
It's the worst one, imo. Combat relied too much on the electro gloves, the grappling hook was weirdly unable to lock onto stuff that that it should have been able to, there's a giant bridge in the middle of the city that kinda hampers normal traversal, and just a general feeling of a lack of polish. The storytelling is the only saving grace. For all of the flak Knight gets, that game felt polished to me and the gameplay improvements across the board put it above Origins.
I recall a rumour (I think a solid one, at least as far as I'm aware) suggested that the Nemesis system was a part of WB Montreal's canceled Batman project. The idea, if I recall correctly, was that enemies could escape encounters and be promoted through the ranks of a faction, being broken out of jail and eventually adopting a supervillain persona.
Think I will defo check it out, hopefully it holds up well on One X.
Then watch me be VERY vocal about my disappointment in a thread or two..!!!!!
Mmmm well lol
It's not enhanced. And also you can't buy it anymore. So unless you have it on disc you wont be able to play it.
To be fair, the 'bad rap' was deserved though. I remember at least one game-breaking bug.
But I agree otherwise. Best story for me.
Origins gets a big fat 'F' for building up Black Mask as the main villain only to job him out for another 'it was Joker all along' twist. Fuck them for that.
Game was great otherwise once all the bugs got patched out.

Wait, that's Dave Bautista isn't it? Never knew he was a wrestler, haha.
I enjoyed it a whole lot more than Arkham Knight, boy what a disappointment that game was. But it's not better than City and sure as hell not touching Asylum.
I feel ya!
I really don't think WB Montreal would be dropping these sorts of teases if a reveal of some sort weren't imminent, at SoP or otherwise. That wouldn't rule out withholding a full reveal for TGA, though.
afaik it's been a few years since any previously unannounced game has made the cover of GI
Does Game Informer even have that kind of sway anymore? I remember it being a source for new, big game announcement. Now it just seems like they're picking up the scraps months down the line before a game launches.
It did have some serious bugs, but I think the main issue with people was that half of the map was the same as in City and, specially, the mid-game twist.
Joker once again, after working towards an interesting story with Black Mask
