Sequel or Slaughter? Batman Arkham City

I don’t have any fond memories about Arkham Asylum or Arkham City. I always liked Batman, but he remains second in my heart to Spiderman, and thus had no place in my world. My ex liked Batman, and I gave her my copy of The Dark Knight Returns and Batman The Blue, The Grey, and the Bat. That was the biggest mistake of my life, which should tell you how horrific my life has been.

Report: Rocksteady Working on New Single-Player Batman Game; Wonder Woman Rebooted and "Years Away"

Rocksteady is said to be developing a new single-player Batman game, while Monolith's Wonder Woman game has been rebooted.

lukasmain127d ago

Man I hope this is true. Arkham Knight was so much fun and a great Platinum to get. Just give us MORE Batman. It's what most of us want. None of this multiplayer shit

darthv72127d ago

Maybe during this time they can also address a performance patch for the existing games... cause you know this new one will likely have quality and performance modes. so why not the previous ones as well.

Cacabunga127d ago

New SP Batman game 🥹 PLEASE BE TRUE

JL2930127d ago (Edited 127d ago )

Arkham Knight was trash. Worst game in the trilogy, not even as good as Origins.

neutralgamer1992126d ago (Edited 126d ago )

Rumor has it that the Next batman game will be a Playstation exclusive Sony is funding it

lukasmain126d ago

I hope this is true. It means it will be of a higher quality and no microtransactions in the single player game. They can also get back-up support from Sony if and when they need it.

sweatyrich126d ago

Playstation and PC then ;-)

RaidenBlack127d ago (Edited 127d ago )

Hope the WW reboot's a move towards right direction and came after lessons learned from Suicide Squad's failure.
I have respect for Monolith since the 90s. Don't want them to eff up as well.

xHeavYx127d ago

I actually got to play test the game last year and it was dull and boring. Similar style to GOW 3 (less violent of course) but really repetitive.

RaidenBlack127d ago

God Of War 3? Gears of War 3(doubt)?
If the former, then fixed camera angle?
And how'd you get chance to play test?

xHeavYx126d ago

I always though that Gears of War was GeoW, but I meant God of War.
I live pretty close to a WB Games subsidiary, every now and then they ask for random people to playtest beta versions of some games.

RaidenBlack126d ago

Can you describe it, then?
The format, the combat, the visual tone ... whatever?

-Foxtrot127d ago

I hope Arkham is getting a refresh because Sucicide Squad kind of ruined that Universe and I kind of hate how everyone knows who Batman is after Arkham Knight. Kevin Conroy has also passed away sadly.

Either an Arkham reboot or let them create a new Universe which incorporates the Justice League at the start so they can do something with them in the far future.

I'd love a Universe similar to the Batman / Justice League Animated Series.

goken126d ago

Agreed. Also for a while there Rocksteady seemed like they would sooner make a batdog game rather than a new batman game

The Zany Adventures of Batmite & Friends

hennessey86127d ago

Just please stay away from Unreal engine

Tacoboto127d ago

All modern Rocksteady games from Asylum and on have been UE

RaidenBlack127d ago (Edited 127d ago )

Monolith has their proprietary Engine : Litchtech. Latest version: Firebird.
The versions prior to Firebird were all available for 3rd party licensing since the 90s and were quiet popular. Notable games/series using Litchtech: Blood 2, AVP 2, NOLF, F.E.A.R, Matrix Online, Crossfire, Mordor etc...
Only studio at WB not using UE (atleast not converted yet)

FortWaba126d ago

Pray, what is the issue with UE5?

Rocksteady Seems To Have Begun Working On Its Next Game Already

After pushing out Suicide Squad, Rocksteady has another project in the works already, as confirmed by an employee's LinkedIn.

SDuck287d ago

Give us more interesting news, like what projects are their old employees working on nowadays

exputers286d ago

Noted. Thank you for your input.

RaidenBlack287d ago

was sad to hear that the new Battinson universe based new Batman game rumor was fake.
Anyways hope rocksteady goes back to its roots for the next game

Inverno287d ago

See ya in 7 years. Watch it be another GaAS.

CobraKai286d ago

Hopefully SSKTJ was a learning lesson. How about a Superman game…. As long as they don’t do anyone dirty like they did to Mr Freeze

Baza286d ago

Couldn’t care less. The Rocksteady of old no longer exists.
