The Dark Knight Video Game - Why it HAS to be Good

The Dark Knight is definitely the biggest hit of this year, and probably the biggest hit of the decade. As with blockbuster movies like these, people always ask: "Where's the video game?" With these questions come the rumors that the game is in the works, and speculation on the gameplay and whether it will, or will not, be a "good" game.

silly batman trix are for kids

Silogon6153d ago

I wish they would stop making games based off movies. They're all junk! All of them. See, in order for this to work you have to have a movie mentality and these idiots don't.

How many movies do you know based on video games are a close replica of the source material? Few... how about none? Sounds good to me. So, in order for a game to work for a movie the movie has to have the idea of the game and nothing else. So, why don't we do this. Why don't we take the idea of a movie and make it into a game?

Don't follow the movie, just the concept. The only way it will work is if liberties are taken at most every turn. Batman games are 97% made up of the developers bathroom breaks... Let's change that.

proArchy6153d ago

It would be nice if the game followed the movie, and not just Batman in some redundant open world mission based crap. Open the game like the movie, not in a cinematic, but in actual gameplay of the bank heist playing as the Joker. It should switch back and forth through playable characters as often as the movie changed focus. There are other ways to expand a game beyond the limits of a movie besides adding 30 "stop the mugging" missions.

InMyOpinion6153d ago

I say no. The best licensed video games are usually the ones that dare be different from the movies.

proArchy6153d ago (Edited 6153d ago )

Yeah, cause Spiderman 3 was awesome. Really though, games are coming closer and closer to giving us a truly interactive cinematic experience, someday one game will get it right. For instance, I like the idea of the Ghostbusters game being a 'true' sequel to the movies, if done right it can give an experience that couldn't be matched. done wrong though, and yeah, it would have been better off doing something else.

InMyOpinion6152d ago

That's cool actually. Or a prologue.

juuken6153d ago

If they screw this up...I don't even wanna look. ;_;

cr33ping_death6153d ago

Here is what a next-generation Batman game could look like in Unreal Engine 4

DSOGaming writes: "Ruslan Gadzhie has shared some incredible screenshots from a real-time 3D character model of Christian Bale as The Dark Knight from the Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight movie trilogy."

I just wish WB Games or Rocksteady would make a Batman Beyond video game. Getting to play in a Cyberpunk world of Batman would be something really unique compared to all the other former Batman games.

FinalAeonX1998d ago

Would be a great competitor to Cyberpunk.

Im fed up of unreal engine 4. Ruined soul calibur for me (my greatest game of all time)

Games, in my opinion, should use as many varied engines as possible, in house developed if possible.. because it gives the games their own specific feel / individuality.

Examples of this "feel"

Twisted metal 4 (ps1, ps2)
Soul calibur 2 (Dreamcast)
Mario 64 & Mario kart 64, wii... Etc.
Metropolis Street racer (Dreamcast)
Ratchet & clank / spiderman (ps4)

FinalAeonX1998d ago

You know from a consumer standpoint, you really can't tell the difference? It has no impact at all.

LMosche1998d ago

Nah bro. Anyone with standards can tell the difference in quality between MK11/Injustice 2 and your average Bandai Namco cash grab like Tekken. Just look at the character's ultimate moves lmao. It's obvious which game was developed with ambition and soul.

milohighclub1996d ago

For the most part you can identify a game running on unreal. Especially AAA

CrimsonWing691998d ago

Do you know the cost and time it takes to make a proprietary first-party graphics engine?

LMosche1998d ago

Yeah Unreal Engine 4 is awful. It seems to have taken away all the unique art styles we saw with Xcom, Bioshock, Borderlands etc.

At least CryEngine is receiving an update and Prey looked amazing.

D__RAiL1998d ago

thats not true at all. It all comes down to developer ambitions. UE4 is one of the better game engines you can use.

D__RAiL1998d ago

Top of my head Final Fantasy VII remake looks amazing

D__RAiL1998d ago

umm did you play Hellblade or even look at the Hellblade II trailer.

FinalAeonX1998d ago (Edited 1998d ago )

Did you see Arkham Knight, that looked beautiful! It looked amazing and was very well-polished too. All done in UE4.

1997d ago
LMosche1997d ago

@FinalAeonX Arkham Knight was on UE3 :D

milohighclub1996d ago

@LMosche yh and you can tell.

milohighclub1996d ago (Edited 1996d ago )

Sorry but people sayin it's down to the developer yh you're right except... each engine handles light, shadows, AA, hdr, particles etc differently. each engine is unique and if you're paying attention you can tell.

https://imgur.com/gallery/D...

Heres a comparison image of 2 games running on unreal and one not, y'all saying you cant identify which are running on which engine? Either havent been gaming long enough, arent paying attention or you're blind.

Spoiler: the ones that look soft af are unreal.

FWIW... Soul Calibur 2 was xb, gcn and ps2. It was only the first on dc.

Exvalos1997d ago

What are you crying about?

Hungryalpaca1997d ago

Someone doesn’t understand game engines.

DragoonUS1997d ago

Unreal Engine is like a hammer, give a hammer to an idiot and he will end up in the hospital, give to a professional and he builds a bridge. A tool is just a tool. Beyond that, you do not need to keep reinventing the wheel to make different cars. Try to be a little reasonable.

1997d ago
MajorLazer1997d ago

Some developers don't have the resources to create their own engine and those that do usually don't share

ReNe9aaDe1997d ago

i live in a world where you got 27 downvotes. Despite feeling like u read my mind with ur comments:/

blackblades1997d ago

I didnt like that they went with unreal for soul calibur either but it didnt ruin it for me. It was either that or no soul calibur at with there budget.

PMind1996d ago

You do realize the engine has no predetermination of the art direction, right? You can't make games only look one way in UE4 or any other engine. That would be like saying that everything created in Photoshop looks the same. A ton of UE4 games have been developed by the same developers so I suppose UE4 games do have a look as a whole, but that's only because that was the look they were going for.

UE4 isn't universal between devs. Most dev teams create their own proprietary tech to advance the tech in UE4. Can't wait to see what devs do for next gen

I want a watchmen game

darthv721997d ago

the end is nigh makes for a good watchmen game but more of a prequel. A game based on the continuation of the series would be nice. Especially since the series is on hbo.

Smokehouse1997d ago

I’ll check it out thanks

10 Awful-Sounding Video Games That (Fortunately) Got Cancelled

This list takes a look at ten cancelled video games that make you wonder why anyone thought they were a good idea in the first place. From gimmicky titles relying on underpowered technology to horrifically weird ideas with bizarre premises, it’s probably a good thing that these awful-sounding games never saw the light of day.

Eyedentify would have been so bad, it would have been good.

Godmars2903870d ago

Would have been good if AI at the time was.

That is largely crap today though, tells you how bad it was and would have been bad then. Especially for a game of that scope.

xer03870d ago

I actually loved the concept and looked forward to playing the game.

Such a shame, they couldn't pull it off.
