Still hoping this doesn't get delayed.

 

[Loxley]

Man I can't wait for E3.

 

[The_Intruder]

So, the harley's face became Jack Nicholson in the joker outfit.... eww.

 

[Apophis2036]

Was the delay to 2015 confirmed ?.

 

[MrPregnantBear]

So, the harley's face became Jack Nicholson in the joker outfit.... eww.

That's a stretch.

Maybe Bride of Chucky.

 

[Dugna]

If the batmobile rides nicely I might finally get into one of these Arkham games.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Harley looks kind of manish in the face ...

 

[PairOfFilthySocks]

I'm really not a fan of the ultra-beefy Batman they use for these games. Bulky Bats has his place(the photo of Affleck from the Batman vs Superman film looks great, for example), for for games like these, where mobility is heavily emphasized, I'd prefer a leaner Batman.

It looks like they tried to do a female Joker looking at that face. Not good at all. No need to give her the same facial structure. Rocksteady can't let the Joker go.

 

[Akai__]

Wow, those look pretty damn awesome. Looking forward to see more of it.

Slightly OT, but if I liked Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, will I like Arkham Origins?

Yes, play Origins. It's a great game.

YES, Origins has the best story and same gameplay foundation.

 

[mao2]

The Joker with boobs... Graphics look great though.

 

[TrAcEr_x90]

I loooooove how techy-y his suit is in this series! Kinda disappointed they went the other way for Batman/Superman movie....

 

[PusherT]

As a Wii U owner seeing this game irks me. I feel like I'm being abandoned all these cool games not on my current next gen console Wii U.

 

[SJRB]

Batman's cowl sucks so bad, damn.

 

[Kinyou]

Woah, those ears. Quite the contrast to the new movie costume

 

[Sn4ke_911]

It's funny Batman has so long ears since Arkham Knight has short ears.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Arkham Knight

Origins

and if anyone thinks AK pic is a bullshot. Nope it's not, look at the aliasing.

Fuck me, this game looks so damn good.

 

[Akai__]

Yes, play Origins. It's a great game.

Thanks.

Probably not. Gameplay is the worst in origins.

What I would do to have Harley Quinn as a playable character.

 

[G-Fex]

robo-batman armor

 

[Bad_Boy]

Never understood the really high and pointy ears. They gotta get in the way when ducking under objects.

Everything else looks great though.

 

[OG_Original Gamer]

New and look good to me.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

What I would do to have Harley Quinn as a playable character.

 

[Gareth Bale]

• AA: Poison Ivy, Killer Croc, Joker, Zsasz, Bane, Scarecrow

• AC: Hugo Strange, Mr. Freeze, Penguin, Joker, Catwoman, Ra's Al Ghul, Two-Face
  • Side-missions/DLC/Cameos: Hush, Deadshot, Mad Hatter, Azrael, Poison Ivy, Killer Croc, Black Mask, Bane, Zsasz

• AO: Penguin, Joker, Bane, Firefly, Copperhead, Electrocutioner, Deathstroke, Killer Croc, Black Mask
  • Side-missions/Cameos: Deadshot, Mad Hatter, Amanda Waller, Lady Shiva, Anarky,

If there are repeats, it's because they have as many characters in each game as is possible. They've also introduced new ones in each title.

I understand if you want bigger focus on fewer/less exposed characters each game, but to say there isn't variety or that each game has the same characters doesn't make sense.

Same with the Riddler stuff. With the Rocksteady developed games, it's difficult to call the Riddler collectibles a rehash as their implementation is considerably expanded in the jump from AA to AC. I get if people are just tired of the Riddler himself, but he's the type of character to create puzzles and deathtraps to solve. Seeing that they've got sections that require the batmobile to complete shows Rocksteady has again added something new to Riddler content and is staying true to his character.

Harley Quinn has been in every game. And the Riddler is shite in these games. The usual boring collectibles that are only serve to artificially extend the length of the game. I doubt adding a vehicle is going to change that.

"to say there isn't variety or that each game has the same characters doesn't make sense."

I said I'm getting bored of the same characters every game because it looks like the Riddler and Harley Quinn are both back yet again.

 

[UrbanRats]

Kind of a boring design, i'm not a fan.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Batfleck looks better.

Are you aiming for more of a bullshot vibe here or just prerendered

 

[Chariot]

Is this some kind of Riddler driving trial collectible?

Prepare for Batman: Arkham Kart

Jesus Christ! Pre-ordered!

 

[comedy bomb]

what's the scar on her face from?

 

[Tabby]

Day one tbh.

 

[erawsd]

What I would do to have Harley Quinn as a playable character.

You can.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Riddler challenges with Batmobile.

 

[WordsintheWater]

Looks amazing, but those ears on Batman look weird. Origins had the best ears in the Arkham games wish they just copied those.

 

[CorporateClown]

Batfleck looks better.

/runs

No need to run. It's the truth. His horns look super goofy lol.

 

[UrbanRats]

Batfleck looks better.

/runs

Come back here, i agree with you.

 

[FMbarbarian]

Harley looked so much better in the CG trailer. She kind of looks like a painted up Sonya Blade now.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

No need to run. It's the truth. His horns look super goofy lol.

Now we both run.

/runs

Edit:

Come back here, i agree with you.

Now we're a pack.

Must run.

/runs

 

[Hexa]

Herley looks really off. She looked off in the CG, but she looks even more off in the game play screen. Like not just her facial structure, but her hair and clothes and everything. Which is lame because she had my favorite design in both of the previous games.

 

[CadetMahoney]

I'm not familiar with Batman lore but....why do they refuse to use the TAS Harley Quinn look? Licensing issues? It's much better looking than the S&M Naughty Nurse look she has right now.

She looks terrible in all Arkham games. Is it too much trouble to just have her use her original costume?

Paul Dini said he didn't want to sully "Best Harley" with over saturation across other licenses.

I agree.

 

[cacildo]

so hair still something hard to make, even in next gen

 

[Some Nobody]

Batfleck looks better.

/runs

Man I hate that suit. Those horns are way too short.

 

[Messi]

Why is it that Rocksteady can never get Harley Quinn right? She looks terrible in all Arkham games. Is it too much trouble to just have her use her original costume?

I'm sure dc are blocking them from doing that. They remodeled her for the new 52 and they seem to be avoiding using her old clothes.

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

Batman. Because he lived long enough to see himself become one.

ISnt the villain kind of Batman ANYWAY? They pretty much confirmed that the main villain is a character that is essentially tantanmount to Batman.

 

[Dark Octave]

She isn't ugly in the comics is she? At least I don't think I have seen an ugly version of her

Oh I have no idea. I don't read the comics so I'm coming off of full ignorance here. She never looked pretty to me in the games and any art I've ever seen so I assumed they were always trying to make her look kinda tore up.

 

[Dark Octave]

so hair still something hard to make, even in next gen

It's still using the old Unreal engine which they say has always sucked when it comes to hair.
