Batman: Arkham Origins - Part 3

[jonathancrane]

1. I am excited about the grappling gun replica; I hope it will be released on the online storefront, as I will not have transportation, once I moved back into the city.
2. The multiplayer sounds exciting; my question is, will it be local based or online only? I ask because I will be having friends over during the semester and this would be the perfect way to spend the time, if it is included. I would look it up/query the developer, but, due to my concussion, I have to limit my internet time to 5-10mins max every few hours (and I am subscribed to this thread.)
3. Lady Shiva would be a terrific inclusion. Hope she is in.

Yeah...I'm thinking about pre-ordering it. Haven't decided, but I'm leaning on yes.

hmm they haven't said any thing on local /split screen for this at all. We'll have to wait and see if you can do that. if they don't do that you'll have to tell your buddies to bring another tv screen and same kind of console you have so you can lan party it up or something. Let's hope they support it though.

 

[Doc Ock]

Splitscreen is something rarely seen nowadays its kinda sad.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Anyone else get a Beta invite yet?

 

[Rocanrol]

The beta is console only?

 

[Spider-Vader]

Yup.

Just saw this online for sale:

"The exclusive, life size prop replica is fully spring loaded and motorized. The prop also comes with two different hook attachments for customization."

Pre ordered this as soon as I saw it. Too damn cool.

 

[Two-Face]

Man That's so awesome!

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

There was a beta sign up?

 

[GekigangerV]

There was a beta sign up?

They have been sending them out. I don't remember what I signed up for, but I got one the other day and I threw my hat into the ring.

 

[Compi716]

Are there any good screencaps of Robin from the multi-player trailer?

 

[The Caped Knight]

not yet

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

I'm not keen on the whole online multi-player, but at least WB Montreal didn't take time out to work on it therefore dividing their attention.

WB are really milking the Arkham franchise... probably taking this as an opportunity to do everything Rocksteady didn't want to do.

 

[Deserana]

And rightly so IMO. I wouldn't say milking though yet. We have only just about had three games in 5 years. A prequel seems pretty logical. Once they start doing all sorts of pointless games then I will agree they probably are.

 

[Drz]

I'm going to say WB starts milking when they publish games that are completely bugged numerously, thats the big problem with big franchises these days.

 

[the last son]

They are on their way to milking it, but as long as the stories are good I'll never say no to it.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

I just have a funny feeling we will get Arkham 3 from Rocksteady next year... PLUS the Batman: Assault on Arkham animated feature (Fall 2014).

They are definitely making the most of this version of Batman.

 

[Drz]

Yeah i think Rocksteady will launch Arkham 3 next year, unless they are going full next-gen and have been working on a brand new engine or so, otherwise i see no reason other than 2013 to be their launch year.

 

[the last son]

Has arkham 3 been officially confirmed? I mean not hints, but full fledged confirmation?

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Has arkham 3 been officially confirmed? I mean not hints, but full fledged confirmation?

Well... Kevin Conroy said he has been working on an Arkham game for the past 9 -10 months. Confirmed on twitter that he was appearing in ''the next ARKHAM'' and then had to delete it.

Another Arkham game is happening... it's just a matter of when and with who.

But no confirmation as of yet.

 

[MarvelWarrior]

Shoot I must have missed the sign up

 

[the last son]

City had way too many Easter eggs and things going on. I say stick with scarecrow and the aftermath of the joker as main plot. Don't care too much about hush or azriel
