Batman: Arkham Knight - Part 1

[jonathancrane]

In AC Strange said something like this "Arkham City then Metropolis."
regarding protocol 10

If I recall correctly, Keystone was next.

 

[smallville fan]

Hmm, did I miss this? Can you refresh my memory about where Metropolis was mentioned?

I also remember in Arkham Origins that there was a tourist sign regarding Metropolis and some thugs also talking about Metropolis as well.

 

[zenith16]

yeah that was done as a mention to have fans talk about 'oh they mentioned metropolis' etc . Doubt it will ever head anywhere more then that.

 

[Quasimod0]

I definitely would like Robin to have a bigger part in this. LOVED playing as him in the challenge maps. And he is a huge part of the batman world

 

[TheFirstAvenger]

You're probably right, metropolis was Mentioned though. I may have missed that taking on a room full of armed armored thugs.

I'm not expecting anything more then another challenge map as him. since they are set in their ways or aren't ready for any other thing yet. there is what I said which would be cool star wars battle front style, with the coordination etc. but since that's not likely. if anything it'll be challenge maps. if they do that it'll be fine.

Remember what i said about them needing to find a dev or certain dev's for certain things like co-op or on doing crowds of npc's in the city cause they didn't have some or people with that kind of experience ? and they confirmed the had to find a dev just so they can do the bat mobile at all which that new dev, he's the unsung or sung hero there as they told game informer . well at least they did it for that looked for some with experience they didn't have. now we have the bat mobile for it.

I wouldn't even need co-op. Although what better characters to have co-op than the dynamic duo? I would just like to see him be an important character in the story.

 

[TheVileOne]

I think some combat maps would be fun for co-op. Like a combat arena.

Agreed.

i know and it would help them if say some of the people that love rocksteady if they ever decided on a ninja turtles game there would at least have experience in it. (it's not likely to happen)

but I've stated befor and since since there won't be any cut scenes the most I would see is npc versions and in the story if they they decided to skip doing a challenge maps of "those characters" for some reason (hope fully they still do it ) in story bat man since he's dealing with the main problem but can't reach area's like certain escape routs for the citizens of the city cause there should be more then one as there usually is during an evacuation if they blocked by hench men and thugs just have bat man order over radio for some like night wing and robin huntress and Cassie at certain escape points to help those people escape since batman is dealing with the source of the citys problems cause or have him meet up with them at those points and he'd fight with them but at his own corner of the street or room. after that's done move on. ok I've stated what i stated enough times. as with here

I've said this before if they show any thing of the league it'll be a cameo of one character at the very least only and it'll be them calling bat man cause they need him, that'll be all from them. And that will be the most likely end to this series or part of it, after he's done with his villains.

It'll be ether martian man hunter that calls him or super man but if it 's superman he won't show up there to help save the day or if he does show it'll be via boom tube or teleportation devise from wayne tech to pick up bat man after batman has finished things. but it'll most likely on a radio call if it's superman if they don't use martian man hunter. but that's about it.

the thing the are most likely to use are teams that batman had created but I'm expecting them but they are the bat family, the birds of prey, the outsiders and lastly yeah even batman Incorporated. most of the members are ether from Gotham or were members of some thing batman created as organized crime fighting.


And it'll be cool to see Metamorpho of the outsiders throw down with clayface. while batman deal's with the head /cause of the problem.

again I'm not Expecting much of that as them being playable (and that's if they show any of this at all , and I'm not expecting it to happen) if anything the most I can see happening if that were the case is for batman to fight side by side and for the game to give a hint of Batman leading/ coordinating them to hot spots/ area's he can't reach in time around the city via radio talk, if they don't show him head to those area's to side side by side with them. again him doing via radio all while he deals with the actual main problem and ends it. and for there to be a big push to let batman deal with the main problems/ villains hide out/center. while those other deal with the thugs and hench men out side.

that's about it if they were to do that. again not expecting it.

it be cool if these were done. But hopefully the challenge maps are still there and they use those two characters in story at the very least. Oh and cat woman.

 

[DrCosmic]

I think I would still want him to be playable in the story. Catwoman was playable in the story, Robin was playable in the DLC story. Put that together and that would make me happy.

That's what I mean. In a modern-day Superman game, how do you feasibly pull off his power set and make it a compelling game. As you said, he can fly into space in seconds and could probably do laps around the sun. So an open world game in say Metropolis--is that not constraining?

Thugs can't really hurt him unless they have some special armaments that are strong enough to hurt a metahuman like Superman.

But I mean maybe Rocksteady can figure it out now. Maybe they can have multiple cities or even PLANETS he can trot to.

I've said this in the Superman Game thread a couple times, but you basically have him fight monsters. Instead of copying from games and mechanics about skilled humans, copy games that focus on epic superhuman feats. Radical (Hulk:UD, Prototype series) are more likely to do a great Superman game than Rocksteady, honestly. Instead of trying to pace the game like Metal Gear Solid, pace it like Shadow of the Colossus. There's lots of fun to be had with an invulnerable Superman in Lego Batman 2. Puzzles break up the pacing to the hero's objectives well. You could almost take that same gameplay and age-up the graphics and story and have a decent Superman game.

When Superman is fun to play, people don't really care that they only fly 300 mph instead of 3 million mph. Just like when Batman is fun to play, people don't ask, why doesn't he just call in the Batjet to lift him out of here. Just like you don't give Batman every gadget in he's ever had, you don't make Superman the strongest he's ever been. After that, making a game becomes not only possible, but incredibly promising and rewarding.

I know i'm just saying if they decided to drop that for some reason. (you never know) and I did say hopefully they are still there in challenge map form And that it'll be apart of the story some how in that you play as them in story helping him out supporting him.

Since this is the last game, Bruce should quite and pass the mantle as batman to nightwing and then superman comes and check if it's true by the end of the game.

Just have super man or man hunter call him and say that the league needs him there's no need for mantel passing, not by death or other wise.

Not unless he does some thin like become commissioner like he did in his very first universe run and is allowed to get old but has his family members(adopted or blood) taken over.

Hell Zorro and the Phantom did that.

 

[zenith16]

damn double post

It's last for Rocksteady. WBM will probably carry it with prequels or make a different Batman game

Exactly. I really don't understand the people that expect Superman to be able to fly to the Sun in 2 seconds either. I really don't see how that makes him anymore Superman than the scope of his powers in the Fleischer/Timmverse. I'd honestly just scale it back to that powerset and just have Rocksteady go nuts with it. Imagine a Mxyptlk stage in the vein of the Mad Hatter side quest.

But back to B:AK, I hope Catwoman is part of the main campaign again. Rocksteady did a great job with her. Hopefully Nightwing as well since it seems DC is about to do something really stupid with that character in Forever Evil. And as horrible as it sounds it's good to see Barbara is still in the wheelchair. It's really a great thing for her character. Damage already done there in the New 52.

Now if this is a boss fight, I'll be pre-ordering:

I missed Catwoman a lot when I played Origins. Deathstroke wasn't as fun a character either compared to Catwoman, Nightwing, Robin, or the Joker.

As for Babs, I'm really hoping she'll be a playable character for Challenges (as Batgirl obviously). Character-wise I happen to be ambivalent about the wheelchair thing (I think the argument from both sides are compelling) and I can't decide whether I prefer Batgirl or Oracle as a character.

Now if this is a boss fight, I'll be pre-ordering:

Yeah, I was actually expecting a Superman boss fight for the sequel to kind of tie in with the BvS film. Who knows, it might show up in the next game Rocksteady/DC game franchise.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I don't like making Superman the puppet, I hate it more when Batman has to fight him

 

[Drz]

Well the same writer had Batman become a puppet full of Krypton and Superman beat him. :b It's just that the internet always likes to talk about "battles batman won"

I'd really enjoy a Superman boss fight. That with Poison Ivy would bring me joy. OF course, i'd also enjoy Superman as a 'god mode' unlockable, but that's just me.

Speaking of Hush, I wouldn't be too upset if they didn't have playable Robin if Catwoman returned to her AC role.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

This game better not have annoying goons joining in the damn boss fight, that's so damn annoying, and it's much worse on PC when the mouse is assigned for both fighting and camera rotation

Is one really obliged to buy an XBox 360 gamepad to play with less annoyance? My gamepad doesn't work on this game

 

[the last son]

Why was this moved?

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

No idea. Accident?

Hmm, did I miss this? Can you refresh my memory about where Metropolis was mentioned?

Talia mentions spending the night with Bruce in Metropolis. Strange mentions plans on repeating the Arkham City plan in Metropolis.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

So that's what happened.
I wondered why I couldn't see this thread in the game section anymore
