Batman: Arkham Origins - Part 6

[Drz]

Can't wait to one day come in here and read"Sequel to Arkham City by Rocksteady officially announced and to be released soon!"

I'm hoping the VGA gets the world premiere teaser trailer. It's Batman's 75th birthday next year, not to mention they're releasing an animated movie off of Arkhamverse next year too.

Marketing 101!

This is one game franchise I wouldn't mind being a yearly title since not too much have to change,A new story and gameplay improvement tweaks for each game is all I just really need

 

[badgrammar]

It's a bit disappointing we haven't got a Batman game of that size yet, but there is always the 4th game. I'm expecting that one to be the grand daddy of them all in terms of size.

Quality > quantity

Batman fans should be happy for getting Arkham Asylum

I sure am,not just was it the best Batman game ever at that time but IMO the best super hero game,It did so much good for the genre,The Arkham games are not just my favorite super hero games but one of my all time favorite video game series!

I also agree on quality over quantity!

 

[badgrammar]

So what is everyone's full wish list for the next game,For me..

-Sequel to Arkham City
-Story taking place longer than one night
-Joker actually being dead
-References to the other games including Origins
-All gadgets from all three games plus new ones
-Crime scene investigation from Origins returning
-Bruce Wayne side missions and training
-Free roam and story co op
-Free roam as other characters like Nightwing
-More to do in the Bat Cave
-More to do in Free Roam
-Driving vehicles at least in chases in story or side missions
-No more Riddler data pads or trophies,Do unlockables in a different and new way
-All skins from AC&AO unlocked by default in the Bat Chamber with more new ones to buy or unlock
-Better online servers and more than one online mode

I want globe trotting with the Batplane.
You can choose to attack The league of Assassin's hide out or Santa Prisca
You can visit Strykers Prison. Capture a wanted villain in Metropolis or a money launderer in Hong Kong. You can visit the Watch Tower in Space. All of this can be equal to the size of an open word game without it being an actual open world game.

Yeah, that's a definite
I don't want a larger Gotham to be honest, only cause it will be a bore to travel

Personally, I'm pretty much down for anything they'll do. I've enjoyed the past three enough, that I'm confident I'd dig it.

We don't need a GTA Batman game. And truthfully, it could never be like that. But, I'd like to see Rocksteady just expand on what they've done. I think getting to see more of Bruce is always a good thing. I've really enjoyed the moments in Origins where we get to see some of Bruce's humanity through Alfred in the Cave. So, getting to do things as Bruce has always sounded interesting to me. Even if it's a scene where he's sitting in on board meeting, with Lucius at his side. How any of that can translate into good gameplay, I have no idea. But, I'd be interested in more Bruce Wayne-stuff.

I really would like to see The Court of Owls covered, too. Hell, if they pull of the part where Batman was trapped in a maze, that'd be a helluva thing to see unfold onscreen.

[ChrisBaleBatman]

You want the Akrham series to end?

 

[Spider-Aziz]

A conclusion worthy of great admiration is better than ongoing for too long

 

[Jick]

Oh no. Not the series, just this phase. They can go Beyond after that.

I'm for Co-op as I said if it's a separate but similar option to the main story. And no achievements for it . Cause I don't want hear about that crap ever again.

And I don't care about Achievements in the sense it has to be a chore or a must do. All Modes should be fun, that should be the only motivation to play any mode. Other wise don't bother to make it. Achievements be damned for it.

Again"Seprate but similar to the main campaign optional mode"
and if they do it that way they will have time to keep the main focus on the story and the dev's won't have an Excuse as to why there isn't enough story and other's like some certain fan's won't have an Excuse to use that as something to blame. no time should be taken away from to make this game great. that way all the main focus will be on the story and it'll stay that way with what I suggest . which is the over all focus.


There's a smart way to do that. No one , no one should forced and people can and will do what they want.


And yes I'm really for the next games to have events happen more then one night.

As for the bi yearly thing, "to have it every year." No they should take more time with this, don't fallow the assassins creed model which copied cod. It won't work well as we just saw with AO.

Take your time and don't rush things. If you need to push it back for precaution and polishing reasons then please do so.

No matter how many of some of your audience complains about push backs, do it. As long as you are truly polishing up the game. And not doing it cause of too much competition in that month reasons.

The Riddeler stuff was one of the few way that made you feel like a detective and made you as a player think to a degree . But I'm ok if they lessen it a bit.

A full conclusion is most definitely good for this series. These things should have chapters and end and start new ones.

 

[TX85]

Maybe the next game at least won't be titled Arkham,The set up to following Arkham City has Joker(main villain in the Arkham games)being dead and Azrael threatening Gotham City with something more than just criminals/thugs and a winter storm.

It doesn't have to be called Arkham Gotham now or something to continue in the same universe

- No bigger city than Arkham City.

What's wrong with Origin's city/map size?,You really prefer the Arkham City section than most of Gotham?

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I think they'll still squeeze in 'Arkham' in the title...and that it wouldn't have anything to do with the developers, but WBIE would want it in the title somewhere. I think the best opportunity to drop the 'Arkham' name would be now, with next-gen. But, I just don't think that the best people (the people on the creative end of things) will have a choice in the matter.

So move backwards? Destroy instead of build? How would taking away features that you don't use anyway make the game any better? This game was pretty awesome even with all of those features.

What I would like is to have Robin and other characters playable in the story more like Catwoman was. I agree there. I also like the globe trotting suggestion somebody made earlier. Gotham can only go so far. We've yet to see Wayne Enterprises and Wayne Manor in story mode so far so I guess that's a thing but let's start seeing Batman out of his element. Essentially the opposite of Arkham Asylum. Maybe Batman kidnapped and brought to the Middle East or snowy mountains or jungles. Remove his belt. Make him vulnerable.

Maybe,I don't get the need to make this a branded franchise,Batman is a franchise character already and when people play the games they know it follows Arkham Asylum's timeline,The marketing for the next game could have trailers reading or saying something like"A New Chapter In The Arkham Game Series"

I don't know , that can only be done OH so many times and it's limiting in realm of idea's like that show prison break once the character did break out they some how ended up in another jail due to it's title . and I knew that would happen from the start and told this to my sister from the start of it when she tried to make me get into the show.

it can only take you so far and you have branch out a bit.

So they have to change the name, it doesn't mean it won't be the same universe. just treat the title of the game's in the series as new Chapters it'll be fine. as for Arkham even though I'm have a hard time with finding a new name as a title that goes well with Arkham it only has maybe one more "use" in it in my opinion.

Arkham justice... no, vindication nooo,, Exoneration no..... Seriously there just some words that lock you up. And limit you from doing more imagination wise.

And no I wasn't trying make a pun, it just ended up that way.

and that's why I said what I said up top of luisTX's question, about Arkham as a title.

 

[TX85]

Based on the set-up by Azrael in AC I'd have the next game titled..

-Batman: Order of St.Dumas
-Batman:Prophecy of the Bat
-Batman:Gotham Ashes

OR

-Batman:Gotham's Knight

 

[zenith16]

hmmm I don't know, well the last one might work if it were Gotham'sknights . Or " Gotham Nights".

 

[TX85]

IF it has to have Arkham attached then Arkham Gotham cause of all AA&AC inmates lose and in Gotham City

 

[zenith16]

IF it has to have Arkham attached then Arkham Gotham cause of all AA&AC inmates lose and in Gotham City

the problem is it doesn't sound right. It just doesn't ring well to your ears, you know?

Ok I have it, Gotham's arkham Nights it will be the city of Gotham under siege. no just one section "but all of it ." and the city is the rison for people of Gotham and with the threat of it bein done in city metropolis or worse citys like bludhaven were said to be worse then Gotham. and have others do what gotham does a copy cat thing like how serial killers have copy cats. As a very scary trend.

 

[TX85]

I don't know what else they can use with Arkham in it,Arkham Gotham doesn't ring well but is the only one that makes sense,Very limited

 

[zenith16]

As I said it would be very limiting kinda like the show prison break was. You can only do so much with that, Seriously. Don't worry I just mentioned it. As I said it only be done one more time besides prequels with numbers to the name.

 

[bigdaddy313]

A fully open world Gotham would be very possible next gen and it should go that root. The perfect example that the Arkham series can go, the more you think about it the more it makes sense cause the are very similar in style in the sense of a third person over the shoulder view open world which is Watchdogs.

All that is needed is a great story, the arkham style theme, more side missions with both as batman and as Bruce in companion with is surporting cast like Nightwing, Robin and Oracle and the use of vehicles.

The Arkham Origins brought in a little preview of where the series is going, like with the fast travel option which will be used as a flying mechanic in the game, that would be kool.

Probably the DLC is a taste for us using Bruce Wayne in the main story mode, after all in AC's DLC with Haley Queen showed that he was angry and tired, so a new or existing enemy would likely take an opportunity with that and use it to their advantage to destroy Batman or Gotham which could lead to what Azrael was talking about in AC.
