Batman: Arkham City

[Two-Face]

I love the idea of it covering Batman's first meeting with certain prominent characters. I can't wait to find out who they are.

Harvey Dent should be in there.

Man I hope so.

 

[Iceman]

Needs more Harvey Dent!

Please have Perlman voice Deathstroke. Please have Perlman voice Deathstroke. Please have Perlman voice Deathstroke. >_<

I'm really hoping for that to be the case as well. Keeping my fingers crossed.

 

[Wolfwood]

Maybe since it's an origin story we'll see a Bane that isn't so jacked up on Venom?

Also, I'm confused. Is Rocksteady still making their own Batman game?

 

[Nathan]

I hope so. I need Bane on regular Venom and a normal body size. Let's hope since Rocksteady isn't making this one, that the concept design won't be so over the top.

I mean seriously, what the hell is this?

Btw, who are DC's top mercenaries and assassins?

 

[Team Andino]

Now I gotta go get my Gameinformer subscription renewed so I can find out as much about this as possible.

WB were trying to make Rocksteady do another Joker story. They didn't want to and left, right?

So is Joker in this then?

If he is I doubt Hamill will be voicing him. Unless they coax him back with more $$$

I hope so.

But if Hamill didn't return. Who would you say would be a good replacement?

 

[Spider-Vader]

Rocksteady can't just leave, I'm pretty sure theyre owned by WB. RS is probably working on a bigger project

 

[Nathan]

I think Richard Epcar could be a good replacement. He voices Joker in MKvcDC and the new Injustice game.

Batman: Arkham Origins Coming This Year

Whoa!

 

[Kane52630]

Anyone else finished the Riddler's Revenge dlc? I've been going back and finishing what's left but that damn Joker's Carnival Challenge Map is going to take forever.

 

[Shikamaru]

I think it is beyond stupid for have Arkham in the title. Having it in the title of the first 2 games made sense from a story point of view. In this case, it makes no sense whatsoever why Arkham would be in the title other than because WB thinks the game somehow won't sell.

I really fear that this game is mainly being made just to capitalize off Batman's popularity in the video games. My theory is that Rocksteady is working on a big Batman game that is a sequel to AC for the next-gen but needs more time on it so WB decided to release something this year they can make money out of while Rocksteady continues working on the game they're working on. This isn't necessarily a bad thing and doesn't automatically mean the game will suck but it is a red flag for obvious reasons and things like Arkham in the title, Rocksteady & Paul Dini not being involved, and the game being announced so late all points to this theory possibly being true.

As for what we've seen of it, I do think the game looks good so far. I love the visuals and the whole concept for the story. I also think the idea of the story taking place on Christmas Eve is great, especially since I probably won't be able to play this game till Christmas Eve t:. I think Batman looks great but Deathstroke's mask bugs me. Something about his masks gives me the vibe that he was pulled straight out of a half-ass game made by a developer like Activision. The way that mask just sits on his face makes his face look oddly-shaped. It doesn't look like the shape of a head that a normal looking human in this universe would have.

Thats a Bane who was forced to take the titan formula. They explain in it in the game, thats why he is so huge.

It's honestly not as tough as they make it out to be, you just need to keep a strong combo going and try and at least get the Titan henchman about half way beaten to automatically get a score of a million banked.

[Rodrigo90]

The material on the Bat suit looks padded. Like cushiony lol

 

[Balthus Dire]

Those concept screens look awesome to me. There's also one of Penguin and you can see he doesn't have the glass monocle so he must get it during the game. I wasn't sure about the idea of an Arkham prequel but it looks like they're really sticking to the source material and I'm intrigued.

 

[HELL N' SPIDERS]

Black Mask before the mask gets fused to his face? THAT'S AWESOME!

 

[Mr.?]

I like the new suit better already.

 

[Team Andino]

I can already imagine from looking at those pics that they might use the same excuse as TDK did for changing the suit. He might be carrying to much weight and be just a little slowed down as a result.

Well I looked up a playthough and it told me I had to avoid any counters and make sure you get a critical hit each time (since it doubles). With a lot of dodging I finally got 3 stars.

Now I gotta do the same with Catwoman, Robin, and Nightwing.

 

[Iceman]

Counters look great but I find them too risky to involve in a long chain combo unless you're 100% sure you're going to pull it off.
