Batman: Arkham Knight

[Saint]

It seems there's an electric/concussive force field surrounding the Batmobile when you hit thugs so it doesn't kill them. Outlandish as it is, I appreciate the effort.

Concerning news guys...it seems that not only is the Burtonmobile limited to race tracks, but the skin as well! I might blow a vessel out of frustration if true.

Seems like a dubious claim (zero proof in the thread), but lame as hell if actually true. I was really looking forward to the Keaton skin.

You're welcome.

What did I do?

i was about to buy the season pass because the Batgirl DLC looked great and you adviced me to wait for reviews, and now seeing that dlc is short and the fact that the season pass seems not that worth it... i thank you

Oh. Would have been nice to follow my own advice since I will buy the Season Pass. Only buy season passes to Batman and Gears of War games. Besides I found an unused Gamestop gift card someone sent me today.

This wouldn't make any sense though and that would make the skins completely pointless as with the race track challenges you don't get out of the Batmobile. So how would you enjoy the skin you're using? I'm keeping hope alive but that makes no sense whatsoever.

I'd burn a clown or strap a bomb onto one,Batman Returns style if it's all true!

As a general rule you should never buy a $40 season pass without knowing what you are paying for.

Seems like a dubious claim (zero proof in the thread), but lame as hell if actually true. I was really looking forward to the Keaton skin.

Plus, what would be the point of a Keaton skin in a racing level?

I really enjoyed the Batgirl DLC despite it's short length. If WB Montreal do lets say, a cluster of Arkham Episodes released digitally every two years, I'd be beyond happy.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

You know, I can't imagine a scenario where that happens. I can't see a reasoning for it. Even if, let's say, it's a pain in the ass and whoever the people on the other line (ie: Burton, Keaton, the art designers, etc.) I can't imagine Rocksteady or WB accepting those terms because it'd be a waste. I can see the concept of an argument, while still being pissed, about maybe why the Burtonmobile may not be usable.

But the Keaton batsuit? It'd wind up being the only skin not usable in the story. And only having the skin usable on two race tracks, where the focus is the batmobile?

Yeah...smells like bs.

 

[Rodrigo90]

If true, let them do that!
They didn't get the cowl right anyway. It's like they took the Returns cowl and inserted onto the 89 suit. So, HMPH!!!

 

[the last son]

Scarecrow and Alfred were the two characters this series nailed the most.

 

[Rodrigo90]

In comparison between AA and AK, you can clearly tell how either age has caught up with Conroy, or just how much he doesn't give a **** about his voice work...

Ive read dozens of Reviews, say many comments to the game...but i never heard anybody even slightly speak negativly about the voice actors in the game.

Do you punch puppys, Do you steal childrens candys...what kind of demon says things like that.t:...im just kidding.

Its true, some of his lines seem a bit strange or overacted...but most of the time he is as good as ever imo.
i feel like all the voice actors in the game are able to hide each others "faults".
When two face has a bad line or sounds strange, one of the thugs has a good line.
Alfred, Scarecrow, Barbara, gordon etc they all sound so great...having a badly executed line doesnt seem to be that obvious.

 

[the last son]

His last good voice work was Batman Beyond. It's been time to move on.

 

[the last son]

Some of his threats were downright laughable. I blame the writing, but delivery was bad too.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Why does nobody point the blame at Amanda Wyatt and Sefton Hill for these decisions?

Conroy was fantastic in this game, with one or two moments that felt off due to bad writing and the developers desire to make Batman edgier. Conroy can only do what is asked of him.

Once again I'll post this video to show what voice actors are expected to do and how they are not only subject to the whims of the voice directors/producer but also that they have no choice which take they will use:

[LEVITIKUZ]

Am I the only one who feels this was Conroy's best voice work since the DCAU?

I mean the first 2 games Batman was sort of emotionless and robotic. This game really got to showcase a lot of emotional moments and I felt Conroy nailed them.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I'm solving all the Riddler's challenges before playing again because I want to obtain the full Knightfall ending. So, I can't fairly judge Conroy's full performance just on one playthrough. But all his dialogue in the interrogations of the informants - it's either the bland lines that make it bad, or how he seems to be struggling to shout menacingly at them...All in all, I think he's past it now.

I said it some time before, the big problem the game has...is that rocksteady has huge problems building tension and telling the story.
Too many things have been thrown at us as if they are unimportant.

Spoiler

One of the Best examples imo is when its revealed that Gordon knows who is behind the mask of the batman.
As if its from no importance they simply state it, no build up, no tension, nothing.

 

[Havok83]

I wondered about that and was trying to figure out if I had just forgotten about that from the last games. Was that revealed in the comic?

 

[godisawesome]

As far as I know, that's a negative, though there might be some acceptable explanation in the game:

Spoiler

Gordon calls Batman Bruce only after Red Hood's boss fight, which does feature plenty of identity specific taunts that someone like Gordon would be expected to understand, particularly considering his daughter is closely involved with at least one Wayne family member in public life.

Now, the real interesting one that I hope WBM gets to play with is:

Spoiler

Catwoman calls him Bruce after the Riddler quest even if you manage to finish it before Scarecrow's reveal. It kind of puts her threats about Wayne Manor in that storyline in a different light. Personally hope we get to see them use that for comedy in some DLC or game.

I haven't read any of the backstory stuff, but during that AK predator challenge, I was thinking that Batman's identity was pretty much blown to everyone in the room with all the babbling Jason was doing.

Haha, didnt even think of that

I was trying to do some sidequests to finish up the game and these are a letdown. I hate how repetitive they are. I think they could have done a bit more branching out and added variety instead of lets say chasing Firefly in the Batmobile 3 times or catching [blackout]Man-Bat in the sky 3 times. The part where you do detective work in his lab[/blackout] at least provided a small bit of variety in that one, but overall the side missions amount to just doing the same thing over and over again. They could have and should have switched it up so a side mission could involved the Batmobile, a predator challenge, detective work, dual play, etc... I think its a missed opportunity for the villains used as well

 

[Oscorp]

Each mission starts and ends with the exact same cinematic as well.
