The Dark Knight The Video Game.

[Lando81]

Does anybody know if the Video game is in pre-production? It should be they need to but more time into it this time.

 

[Boom]

It'd be nice if EA lost the rights to the franchise. I hate that company with a passion. Their games are ****ing garbage[/end banter].

Give the rights to Ubisoft, and get the creative minds behind Splinter Cell and Assassin's Creed. I'd die so happy .

 

[spanish39]

Probably not even close is my guess. I hope it's better too this time around. The last one was ok but I feel we need more free roaming. Though I think EA knows they could slap a Batman logo on a terd and some people would buy it lol.

 

[Lando81]

It should be like S-M2 game. More like GTA:Gotham City

 

[The Fallen]

They should do what they did with the upcoming Superman Returns game and not release it until it's a satisfactory game, not release a sub-par game just to coinside with the film release.

 

[spanish39]

Yeah, I was a little pissed with the OCT release date but when I thought I about it a split second later I was like, "Ok, as long as it's good." Hell, the game may even turn out to be better then the Superman film.

 

[I Am The Knight]

A little too early to be in pre production, this is not FFXII.

I never played the BB game, though I wanted to. I just never felt too excited to do it. The reviews made me stay away from it....I should play it, but I'm playing something else at the moment....DMC3 Special Edition.

In my opinion the game is bad. Picture a really crappy, poorly-conceived Splinter Cell concept. Add to that lackluster graphics, wooden voice-acting, and horrible animations.

The game had great potential. All I have to say is: EA.

 

[spanish39]

HEY! EA it's in the game man lol, challenge everything!

I think they are challenged

Hell is that even there ad lol?

I read that the gaming system was very stupid, basically telling you what to do and when, you know, doing the thinking for you. That worried me. I also think that they tried too many styles. Splinter Cell, Burnout come to mind as styles meshed up. I'm sure I read it borrowed from other games as well, but I don't remember any others right now.

I should give it a shot one of this days.

If by "borrowed" you mean "took concepts that worked great in other games and then somehow managed to completely screw them up," that's basically right.

The voice acting annoys me so much. Bale only sounds good when he's talking to Alfred via commlink. In cutscenes and when he's interrogating criminals it's bloody awful. Whoever voiced Crane sounds like a pedophile.

Michael Caine was decent though.

Yeah that's what I feared....Well The Dark Knight hasn't put up a good game adaptation that I know so far. Maybe we'll get that with the new movie game...pretty please?

Wow, now I'm curious.

 

[Robin91939]

I just hope that it's free roam

EA Sports is good, the rest of the company is !

They seem to be learning their lesson with Superman Returns. But I guess the catch is they need 5 months after the film release to get it done.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Nah, the game was solid. It's the best Batman game on any of the current consoles.

The voice acting was pretty good, but was pretty bad when it wasn't Bale or anyone from the film. So, the thugs for example....some of the voices there were pretty bad.

The craphics weren't so bad, but.....there were definitely some choppy parts. Namely in the fighting animations. They were somewhat odd.

But, if your a Batman fan....I think you should check it out and decide for yourself. I like it. And it reminds me alot of the SPIDER-MAN THE MOVIE GAME.....where it touched are great potential.....but fell short. The sequel game should be much better. And...they'll have more time to work on it. So, that's the good thing.

Well, he's supposed to sound like that. He's creepy.

It was Cillian Murphy, btw.

I still argue that from, voice acting, gameplay, story, music and graphics BATMAN: VENGEANCE was the best console Batman game.

-R

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Well, voice acting is something that's impossible to argue. We got the people that make a living doing that stuff, and won our hearts with the tv show. That was a great bonus, them getting Conroy and everyone.

But, gameplay wise? I dug BEGINS more. I also prefered the driving in Begins to the Vengeance one. The graphics go either with me, although with Vengeance it was certainly something to see with the abstract being made 3d. Story, yeah....but I think movie games suffer from story anyway. Spidey 2's story was horrible, for example.

The music was better in Vengeance though.

But, for me the controls were much better and responsive in Begins. The PS2 Vengeance was a pain for me to control. Now, I've heard that the GC version has much better control, but I wouldn't know. I still think Batman Begins is the best console Batman game though.

But, hey.....atleast it's not that Gotham City racer crap we got. Sin Tzu was kinda disappointing too.

Well, there's not really that much competition is there. I'd personally rather play the old Batman 89 atari ST game than batman begins, it was so restrictive and awful, totally leads you through the game by the hand, the whole thing is like most games pre-game training.

The idea of fear as a weapon was good at first, but the way you ended up HAVING to use it in every room was just nonsense.

Aside from the comments people have already made, the fighting system was also weak as hell and the worst thing for me was that you could only use the grapple on one or two 'ceiling hooks' per level, bugger that. I was so excited about it as well.

is Sin Tzu any good? i want to play it

Yeah, I agree. Not much competition. And the linear gameplay hurt. Badly.

But, it was playable. Something MOST Batman games have never been.

It's a postive, and hell....we can only go up from here on out.

The idea of fear as a weapon was good at first, but the way you ended up HAVING to use it in every room was just nonsense.

I think that's a sign of not being able to cut loose. The SUPERMAN RETURNS game seems to not go that route. There's going to be Metallo, Bizarro....and others.

So, I think the gameplay was hurt by having to follow the film so closely. Batman Begins isn't a straight action film. It's like a hybird of a drama/thriller/action film, and that's impossible to copy onto an action game. They should have just made a Batman game, simply, that was inspired by the film.....something that Spidey 2 did and SR seems to be headed.

Aside from the comments people have already made, the fighting system was also weak as hell and the worst thing for me was that you could only use the grapple on one or two 'ceiling hooks' per level, bugger that. I was so excited about it as well.

Yeah, the linear play sucked. We could only toss batarangs when we were allowed to, use gear only when intrcuted. We were even instructed when to do a stealth move. It was like a game geared towards kids. Which makes no sense, considering the game itself was obviously more for Teens, with a T rating as well.

I just think it needed more time in the oven. If it had been a bit longer in devlopment, it could have been better.

And, with the survey EA GAMES did on they're website....I think they'll learn from they're mistakes and we'll get a much better game.

I'm actually betting we're going to get a GTA: THE DARK KNIGHT game.

is Sin Tzu any good? i want to play it

Meh.

It can be great in small doeses. But, if you get too into it....it WILL get repetitive. The fighting doesn't really progess all that much, but...it's a Beat 'em up. I guess it's a solid one at that. There's some cool extras, like unlocking Nightwing's old Robin costume and Batman's yellow oval costume. And, there's some nice rewards to get in the game. If your a Major Batman fan, I think it'll be worth the $20 bucks. The game is best with other people, like 2-player co-op and stuff. Just more fun that way.

You don't like Cillian Murphy?
