El Tortuga posted:We're talking dream Batman games? All I'm gonna say is: This actually made it to an early development stage before being scrapped: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65IsSRMi4i0 It seems like a Victorian-era Batman would have to favor the detective aspects more heavily unless they did some steampunk-type gadgets.

DrNutt posted:Is this a worldwide release on Friday? In other words if I use an Aussie VPN, can I unlock on Thursday? Just a heads up, on steam it's showing as an October 26th release (Australia) so it may not be the earliest option if you're looking to play ASAP (could be a mistake though? not sure).

Jerusalem posted:Isn't October 26 in Australia October 25 in America? Yeah pretty much, but our retail stores here are still saying release date is October 25th. Edit: Ah okay, I get it now, yeah so it will release at the same time on steam in Australia as in the US. However you can probably get it in stores in Australia nearly a day early because of time zones. Double Edit: Funny though, as the PC version bought in stores probably won't be able to play until steam unlock time anyhow. Keeku fucked around with this message at 23:44 on Oct 22, 2013 |

Lurdiak posted:The fact that the other Nolan movies didn't get any games should answer that one. I'd imagine most of it was because WB thought loving Eurocom was capable of making something IP-based where the advertising factor/fun ratio didn't favor the first 99% of the time, even Traveller's Tales tries to stand out as the competent British licensed-shovelware dev most of the time TDK's tie-in game could've turned out cool given the Pandemic involvement, and considering leaked footage and the fact they filled it's void with The Saboteur a year later, I'd bet the TDK game was basically shaping-up to be The Sabateur.

I'm just incredibly glad that the animated series skins are returning (even if animated robin looks a bit chunky), because that means I get to play as fun and visible versions of the characters. I love the Arkham games but the art direction is just a mess of pock-marks, dust and muted colors.

Another reason why I think Silver Age would be fun for Rocksteady's next Batman game is it would give them a chance to try something new with their art direction. Three games with this very gritty style is likely more than enough. What are you guys expecting in terms of reviews for this game? I'm guessing in the 7-8/10 range. The game really doesn't seem like it's adding or changing much to Arkham City (with itself was a massive improvement on Asylum). I think it'll probably have the best soundtrack of the series (Christopher Drake), but I'm really hoping it gives us some compelling character arcs. The prior two games are basically "Batman solves a fuckton of problems." They've got a good opportunity here to give us a good character-driven story, and I'm hoping they don't blow it.

Yaos posted:If you're talking about this one: http://draculascave.co/2013/10/22/review-batman-arkham-origins/ it has some wrong information in it. Batman can run in the batcave, and then it goes into a rant about the video game industry. Ha ha, first he claims that Warner Bros. "pulled the franchise away from Rocksteady" and then says the game should have been called "Batman: Gotham City - The Early Years." I mean, I'm expecting this game to get 7s and 8s on the review circuit regardless but this guy doesn't even sound competent.

So, should I be worried that there seems to be a media review blackout going into the game launch ? Was the NDA lifted on those who got the mail-out beta keys garnished by Xbox & DC Comics.

Review embargos are generally only lifted early if they're sure that absolutely everyone has good things to say about the game, so if it's down to the wire expect otherwise.

Hal_2005 posted:So, should I be worried that there seems to be a media review blackout going into the game launch ? No. It is really really common for games to do this nowdays. Having embargos the day or release or shortly before is commonplace including for games that get universally good reviews. There is absolutely nothing to read from review embargos. They exist for good games and for bad games. They're just a thing that exists to assure everyone is getting reviews out at the same time. Occasionally you'll get exclusive early reviews and THOSE are something to watch out for because they're likely to be overly positive but embargos themselves are not anything. Early word on the game is that it's effectively more Arkham. Even the negative review above basically amounts to "it's a really fun game that is just more of the same." There is a chance it may have glaring negative flaws that are still under wraps but if so it hasn't leaked out. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 04:17 on Oct 23, 2013 |

raditts posted:A random punk says it in Batman '89, you might be thinking of that. It's so hard to keep track anymore. Maybe I'm Batman. Actually that makes me think that what I want to see Rocksteady do is make a Batman game exploring the idea that he's just as crazy as the villains. That he needs to go out at night and punch people just as much as they do.

I'm really, really on the fence about Arkham Origins. I enjoyed the other two games a lot, but this one looks like it's just not doing anything interesting with the story. But, on the other hand, the multiplayer sounds like an awesome addition to the game. Is there some comprehensive multiplayer footage out there anywhere I can check out to see if it's worth picking up on that alone? Like any other non-CoD multiplayer game I'd expect the multiplayer crowd to die out a month or two post-launch, so I figure if it's any good I need to be there on day one or just not bother at all.

Whenever a new Batman movie is announced there's always a rumor/fan wish that Keaton returns playing a villain. The guy's like 54 now, they should have him play Old Bruce in a Beyond movie now that Clint Eastwood is too senile and Michael Ironside is a pacifist.raditts posted:A random punk says it in Batman '89, you might be thinking of that.
