The Natural Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Good article by GameCentral. At least it is a bit more critical than most E3 previews. Agreed. It's the gaming website I use the most for the news, previews, the community and the reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Arkham Knight now set for release on June 2nd. Damn, that's almost another whole year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 It is much longer than anticipated, however this is a new-gen exclusive game. It's Rocksteady's final Batman Arkham game. You really have to give them all the time they need. It's kind of like with Projekt RED and Witcher 3. Eventually 2014 became February 2015, but look at the results. The game looks unbelievable and will be like one of the most immersive RPG experiences ever. Takes time to get all that right. And that also means it will be really polished and smooth. Remember how smooth and polished Arkham City was? I have no doubt Rocksteady can do it again, just give them however much time they need. I think we need to give Rocksteady credit here for now bowing to corporate pressure. However, by the same token, they better deliver and not fuck us over like the final act of Mass Effect 3. Honestly I'm kind of happy for the break because it gives me more time to play more stuff until Knight comes out. So now I don't have to get everything in this fall.

Leonidas Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 If they can balance the scale of it (the game looks huge), and get the Batmobile control mechanics right. And if we can get a half decent multi-player, I don't think it will be an overblown statement to say this could be the best game ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Does this game also have a contrived reason why there are no regular citizens in the city? I loved Arkham City but at some point they're going to have to stop with the "closed sandbox" approach. It's worse than GTA's "broken bridge" tactics. edit: On Halloween night, Scarecrow threatens the city with his newly created strain of fear toxin and bombs planted throughout Gotham, forcing the evacuation of the city's six million civilians. sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if we can get a half decent multi-player, I don't think it will be an overblown statement to say this could be the best game ever. Rocksteady already confirmed no multiplayer. Probably just the challenge maps. Does this game also have a contrived reason why there are no regular citizens in the city? I loved Arkham City but at some point they're going to have to stop with the "closed sandbox" approach. The city has been evacuated. Remember the first trailer? Scarecrow gives out his warning and says they have this one chance to evacuate, and we see most of the city evacuating. So that's why Gotham will only have cops, criminals and probably a handful of civilians who couldn't make it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Thanks! I forgot about that and looked it up. How did they approach it in Arkham Origins? Just "strangely deserted" streets because it was Christmas Eve? I only played Asylum and City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Yeah, they needed civilians in this one. Hopefully in the next Batman game we get some sort of story where the city isn't in crisis and you can just sweep the streets doling out sweet justice to punks.

Just "strangely deserted" streets because it was Christmas Eve? I only played Asylum and City. In Origins it was way more contrived. Police had a curfew in effect because all the criminals out in town to kill Batman and stuff. Yeah, they needed civilians in this one. Hopefully in the next Batman game we get some sort of story where the city isn't in crisis and you can just sweep the streets doling out sweet justice to punks. Just remember any future Batman game will not have Rocksteady at the helm. It will be either WB Montreal or heck, maybe even Monolith. To be honest, after what Monolith did with Shadow of Mordor, they would be my first choice to do a new Batman game or a Batman Beyond game.

TheVileOne Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Here's the rest of the Ace Chemicals trailers so everyone can see them. So the Scarecrow Nightmare pack basically looks like it will be challenge maps similar to the Scarecrow levels from Arkham Asylum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty J. Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yeah, my hype levels are off the charts. Firefly was my favourite boss fight in Origins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yeah, I think the boss confrontations were among some of my favorite parts of Origins, and something I thought the Rocksteady games could learn a thing or two from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Origins was such a frustrating game. The boss fights were the best of the series, the story was a real good Year 1-2 story, and the CSI stuff was excellently done. But man, the slowed down combat, the upgrade in order tree, including missable upgrade conditions, and the fucking Riddler Bugs making it impossible to ever 100% the game, yeah. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they added an animation or something which made it incredibly hard to counter. The upgrade tree was fucking bullshit as well. Same with the 'challenges' which you had to do in order and didn't work in challenge maps. So you basically had to do them from the get go, otherwise you'd miss the opportunity to do them again. I remember playing Origins and thinking it was more of the same which was a good thing, but the more I reflect upon the game, the more I realize it was an unpolished piece of shit. I did enjoy the DLC though, wish they did more of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
