Yesterday Warner Bros announced "Batman: Arkham Origins" (next installment in Batman Arkham video-game franchise) for current generation consoles and Wii U. Fans of the series were bit disappointed with the announcement, as many of them were expecting Batman: Arkham Origins to arrive on next-generation consoles (PS4 and Xbox 720).
Not only this, fans were also disappointed with the change in development hands for Batman: Arkham Origins from "Rocksteady to WB Games Montreal". Does WB Games Montreal has the potential to carry forward the legacy of Batman Arkham series and Rocksteady?
I hope the Rocksteady Superman rumor is true. WHen was the last superman game anyway? (where he's solo/lead, of course)
I don't think the origins pics are screen shots, that and you know it should look better being on the next gen. Using the new unreal engine I assume.
I have every faith in WB Montreal. They did a great job with Arkham City Armoured Edition, even though that was pretty much just a port it gave them experience with the franchise and they've seen how to make an Arkham game.
Eh I wanna be optimistic but given Halo 4 and Sly 4 were both less adventurous than their previous devs I am gonna be a skeptic until the day that game comes out. I can't really think of a series that changed hands and ended up being better than it's predecessors.
my only problem is that they've changed the look of the characters. It's WB Montreal style and less Rocksteady style. If you pay close attention to the screenshots, you will see what I mean. Even Penguin looks different.
