arkham city was awesome,have high hopes for this one 2!

Yi-Long4027d ago (Edited 4027d ago )

Possible open world!? As in a complete city!?

"- Can string up an explosive barrel under a perch, lure enemies with a sonic batarang, then cut the rope with a normal batarang, dropping the explosive on their heads"

Awesome.

"Won’t control the Batwing directly"

It will probably just show you how Batman fast travels to the location you've selected instead of him just getting there. A way to include the Batwing in the game for hardcore Batman fans.

KwietStorm_BLM4027d ago

Lol what the hell I thought the bat doesn't kill

despair4027d ago

@KwietStorm

really strong enemies maybe?

Studio-YaMi4027d ago

@KwietStorm
You need to watch the new Batman dark knight returns.

It's just too awesome to miss :D !

NewMonday4027d ago

Deathstroke Black Mask and Penguin.

great to have new faces, tired of the Joker and Riddler.

resi54027d ago

it is open world they confirmed it

NukaCola4027d ago

Batwing = Samus's ship in Metroid Prime. More of an Asylum style in a bigger world. I like it!

Outside_ofthe_Box4027d ago

Aww man this game not being handled by Rocksteady has me extremely not hyped for this game.

If this game is not open world, it's a no buy for me no matter what. If it is open world and it takes place in ALL of Gotham and contains civilians then label me hyped. Until that is confirmed I'll forever be upset that Rocksteady isn't making this.

It's not the same studio working on this one.

showtimefolks4027d ago

i liked the 1st batman better than arkham city, i know i am in minority but just because 2nd was kind of open world took away from the game for me

let's see how this one turns out

1st batman game is the best super hero game for me this gen

Root4027d ago (Edited 4027d ago )

That third image looks like the train station in Arkham City, the one where one of the gangs patrol and the one with the Metropolis reference.

"Younger Batman also “gives us the opportunity to refresh things a bit”"

It's only been two games, you don't need to refresh him, he's fine the way he is.

Does anyone get the impression that this will be in Arkham City and by that I mean the area where Arkham City is built. I feel like they are just going to reskin the place that's already been done by Rocksteady BUT will refer to it as Gotham City to make it look like it's brand new....technically it would be still called Gotham City, the area if Arkham City hasn't been built over it. If true then I really just see this as quickly put together filler game using Arkham Cities assests while Rocksteady work on their next gen game.

I mean it's being handled by the top guy from Prototype and the Incredible Hulk game from last gen. I don't have high hopes for this, I just feel it's going to be too similar to Arkham City.

" find out why Black Mask wants him dead "

...it's Black Mask, him wanting Batman dead is nothing new.

"New remote claw that is like the grappler in Just Cause 2"

So where was this in Arkham City, the main thing I hate about prequels is that they add weapons which don't appear in the present day games and you think to yourself "This weapon/item seems more useful then any of the modern day weapons/items in the other games"

InTheLab4027d ago

They pretty much jammed every notable location in Arkham, into Arkham City...well, aside from Wayne Towers, Arkham Asylum and Blackgate Prison.

Hopefully, they re-do the layout to align with the comics

RetrospectRealm4027d ago

Of course Arkham City would be in this one. I mean, it just won't be all tatterred and as crappy as it is in Arkham City because it's not Arkham City yet. Just think of the open worldness of it as an extension to what we saw in Arkham City.

bronxsta4027d ago

Half the world is "Old Gotham", mostly areas from Arkham City but with civilians and the city looking normal

The other half is new Gotham, with towering skyscrapers and the more rich side of town

darklingz4027d ago

Looking foward to see what the arkham orgins blackgate for the vita will look like. Alos the console version

porkChop4027d ago

The Vita/3DS game, Arkham Origins Blackgate, is a 2.5D Metroid style game. So basically it's a sidescroller. It could still be an awesome game, just don't expect it to be anything like the console versions.

Expect something along the lines of that, though obviously with better graphics.

matrixman924027d ago

I dont get why companies are rushing these games out before the inevitable release of ps4 and 720 in the fall. People will want to save their money for the new consoles, why dont they just wait to release on the new consoles.

Crillvirus814027d ago

Cause there's more then 100 million ps3 Xboxes and wii u out there why not no one even knows if the new consoles will sell like that trust me there first year there going to have a lack of games just like whats happening with wii u

bluetoto4027d ago

Because there are tons of gamers that are interested in good games now for the their current system, not new shiny hardware to say ohh and ahh over.

really happy devs and pubs realize there are still gamers interested in games, not the newest toy on the market.

WitWolfy4027d ago

Speak for yourself Charlie Bucket, I wouldn't of mind to have seen this on the next gen as a launch title.

The best Batman Arkham game still isn’t on PS5, and that’s a problem

Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League is almost here, but I can't revisit the best Arkhamverse game on PS5 without sacrificing quality.

Not a fan of Orgins. Blame it on the absence of Conroy & Hamill. Blame it on the lack of atmosphere compared to Asylm. Hell blame it the devs thst dicked over Wii U owners like me that purchased the game only for support be dropped as a thank you to me. It's better than Knight but that's not saying much. I don't care for that entry either.

Rebel_Scum94d ago

tbh buying a game like that for WiiU should’ve been an obvious non-purchase when it existed on better hardware.

Cacabunga94d ago

Origins is amazing..
my favorite Batman is Batman and Robin on mega drive.. an HD REMASTER of that would still look glorious

ZeekQuattro94d ago

I got it launch. Kinda hard to go back. I'm supposed to know they were going to drop support months after the fact. 🤣

Exvalos94d ago

You sound like a salty fanboy, that it didn't come to your precious plastic of choice. It's not the developers fault Nintendo continues making underpowered hardware. It's our fault because we keep buying it. Yes I say (we) I'm part of the problem as well.

ZeekQuattro94d ago

I have a PS3 and a Wii U. How was I a salty fanboy? I bought the game on the system I wanted it for.

Rebel_Scum94d ago

Nah my comment has nothing to do with whether you’d know or not that they’d drop support.

Buying any AAA game of that era for a WiiU you should’ve known you’d be sacrificing graphics and load times.

LucasRuinedChildhood95d ago

It's solid but Origins is definitely not the best Arkham game.

LoveSpuds94d ago

Smacks of hyperbole to me, talk about clutching at straws to create some drama around PS5!!

generic-user-name94d ago

Titles like these are designed to get you to come in, go to their comment section and tell them how they're so wrong so they can boost their numbers.

Phoenix7694d ago

Even though its not the best arkham game in the series, its still an enjoyable game in its own right. What it do really well at though, was the crime investigations scenes. Which imo, were the best of the franchise.

goldwyncq94d ago

I don’t know about best game but it definitely has the best story and boss fights.

boing194d ago

Never played it and recently I've finally tried it via cloud on psn. It's not the best for sure, but it ain't bad either.

Batman: Arkham Origins - Open World Busy Work that Doesn't Hold Up 10 Years Later

Batman: Arkham Origins launched 10 years ago today, and sadly doesn't stand the test of time as well as its predecessors.

Petebloodyonion175d ago

I fail to grasp why this title is worse compared to Arkham City (according to the article) as the author didn't provide any argument to explain why aside from that it felt the bigger map compared to Arkham Asylum made the experience less tight.
More importantly, the author seems like he never played Arkham City since he described the game as linear (alongside Asylum).

The Unjustly Forgotten Batman: Arkham Origins Deserves A Resurgence

Despite certain flaws, Batman: Arkham Origins is a splendid entry in the legendary Arkham series and deserves better than being forsaken.

lellkay288d ago (Edited 288d ago )

It's the worst of the three in my opinion, but still really enjoyable. Definitely underated and gets far more crap that it deserves.

Should be included with the other Arkham games in the bundle.

Demetrius288d ago

I'm honestly enjoying it alot, my first time playing since I just decided to get a Xbox 360 slim for 65$, I cop some other gems too tho, I went into Arkham origins not expecting better than Arkham city but it does deliver plus the guy who voices batman did a good job aiming for the young Bruce impression
