Batman: Arkham Knight - Part 3

[The Joker]

Best thing about this delay is that I am in no rush to get a PS4 now. I won't even bother getting it at Christmas. I'll wait until closer to the release date of AK.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Really? To me, delays aren't just about getting done what needs to be done, but also catching the right date on the schedule you need to catch. Like the movie The Road. They wanted Oscar consideration, and the Oscars are kind of fickle about movies that are release Jan-Aug, so when it was delayed in November 2008 they literally held it for a whole year. Unfortunately, that did not make a difference for the Road.

This game is going to sell extremely well and likely be well received no matter what month they release it. I have no problem with the waiting. I am simply curious how it went from October 2014 to June 2015. Seems less like polishing the game up...maybe they felt they could expand it even further than they thought?

Do we know the price yet for the special editions of the game?

While some times games can be deyland a long time. Zelda twilight prices get deyland like 3 times and ended up coming out like a year and a half later but was still a great game.

Gamestop has the below sets at $99 statue version and $199 for the Batmobile version:

Wow thats pretty far away, luckily there will be some more games coming out between now and then to help with the wait.

2 special editions (in spoilers because they're big images)

Not sure which I'll be getting, probably the Batman statue one

[RedIsNotBlue]

Yeah I will probably just get the Limited Edition myself. Paying $100 more just to get the Batmobile instead doesn't really seem worth it to me. Do we still get the Harley Quinn content if we order one of these?

 

[BrollySupersj]

So what other suits has Batman worn in New 52? I never read an issue so I only know of the default one.

WOW 199.99 for the batmoblie one sounds like a lot. I was trying to look to see if it was up on amazon yet I don't think it is though.

I would think so but for know I am just glad to have something new about the game. I wonder when we will get a new trailer or something though. Could we maybe get a new trailer at the Tokyo game show in a week and a half?

 

[Mister J]

My legendary cheapness aside, that's going to have to be one hell of an addition to get me to pony up $200.

If WB (or whoever) offered to pick me up in the actual scale Batmobile that they had on display at E3 (I don't even know if it's driveable) and took me to Gamestop (or wherever)... and maybe to grab a late night snack, I'd go in on it though.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

The pre-orders are up on Amazon.

So I just found this on amazon and they don't have the Harley Quinn thing with the special editions but maybe that is just a mistake and they have the same price has GameStop 99.99 and 199.99. I really want the bat mobile but 100 more is a lot. I will have to keep a eye on it maybe the 199.99 will go down before the game comes out or something. If I remember correctly both the city and asylum games special editons where 89.99.

Lol and better yet the driver was Kevin Conroy in a batman suitet:

 

[TheFirstAvenger]

this is an awesome alternate skin.

 

[spiderman2]

this is an awesome alternate skin.

Looks like the orgins skin or something

 

[Rodrigo90]

Michael Keaton's skin, ya bastards!

 

[Drz]

That's what Batman has in the comics. The 2 other comics from "new 52" series are unknown, but here are my assumptions:

Zero Year:

Hellbat (Apokalips invasion suit)

Maybe, but big companies who spend lots of money tend to not leave those kinds of things to chance.

 

[Havok83]

the game got delayed, again?

This for me too.

There are really no games I feel like playing on the PS4 right now anyway. I can wait until June to get one.

 

[Spiderhog]

Man im gonna be broke after i buy that Batmobile Edition.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

the game got delayed, again?

No. It has only been delayed once this is the new official release date. It was originally supposed to come out next month and now it is coming out June 2015. Most people were only guesstimating an early 2015 release.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Michael Keaton's skin, ya bastards!

Out of context... this sounds so wrong.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Looks like the orgins skin or something

Its the new 52 suit

 

[Travesty]

Yup, it is, and it actually looks pretty good.

I'm sure the Zero Year suit will be in there, too.
