Gotta have those unrealistic expectations with every game announcement.
On a serious note, and this may be due to being just passed
where Joker blows up the tower following the courthouse scene
Don't think this will be that empty of a game despite most of the populace bugging out. Bound to be quite a few civilians trapped, and the GCPD likely in open war with the criminals. Don't need a bunch of useless bodies around to feel lived in if it doesn't fit the game.

this may be the last Batman game without any crossover nonsense

Lets be honest though. Anybody that was expecting this game to come to Wii U hasn't been paying attention to anything regarding the Wii U.
Exactly. This is what i mean. I hate it. Rocksteady's just copying what's already out there instead of following what they did with past games. The music, the character models, and the overall look and feel of AA and AC was something that felt very different and new.
I'll wait for gameplay and more info but that trailer doesn't fill me with confidence.

Scarecrow is my favorite Batman villain. Is he really going to be emphasized as the main villain in this one? Best Arkham game confirmed. If Joker comes back I'll toss my PS4 out the damn window.
The trailer look like it's done by Blur. it's been long time since we saw a Blur trailer.
Since they stole/using the same Batsuit as WB Montreal. I hope WB Montreal do the faces for them (Rocksteady make ugly faces for the characters).
David Cain get easter egg in Origin so I hope he is one of the villains here.

It's for Arkham Night, but with a K so it means Arkham's knight, like "knight in shining armor," but because it's night, it symbolizes darkness and the gothic setting, you know kind of like, the Wii U where the two "i's" symbolize two people playing but the "U" symbolize yourself and the gamepad, and...
...whatever, I'll stop talking!
I would love if you plug in a 2nd controller and Batman call in "Dick, I need your help"
"I'll be right there" and you can see Nightwing drop in from above.
Same concept with Robin.
Cause I feel like this is sorta like the comic book event of No Man Land where Batman has to call every allies to help him defend Gotham.
Though the one thing that bugged me is if we have a co-op campaign. Is it going to be split screen? Split screen isn't really ideal cause it cut down on your vision.
Maybe online co-op only?

Yes, so glad that it's not cross gen!!! But I really hope that there's no multiplayer, and if there is it's handled properly because as fun as Origins MP was, it didn't work half the time.
And?what's the matter of having something different?i liked and finished asylum but city was way bigger than it needed to be and well yeah...something new would be nice...

Are there screen shots floating around yet? That entire announce trailer was CGI. :-/

Totally ignoring that point? Wii U has possibly potential in Nintendo paving its own way or exclusives, but the potential on ports from Xbox One and PS4 is not there. Having the difference in hardware in mind and still asking for it is quite desperate and pathetic IMO.
We haven't seen any of the game to say that it can handle a downscaled Arkham Knight. If it isn't releasing on 360 and PS3, than likely it won't be able to.

I feel like Knight. You can look at it as "Night"
Since it seem like this game is going down in one night. That's just my guess..
They could name this Batman: Arkham Giggolo and I would still buy it!

Have they said where this fits chronologically with the other games?
My guess (from how advanced the batmobile and suit are) is that his is after the events of Asylum and City
I wonder if that means Kevin Conroy will voice it again.

Too bad it isn't cross-gen. Not everyone has 400-500 bucks to spend on a brand new console right now.

So far it's everything I've hoped it to be, especially with Scarecrow as a main villain.
Hopefully Rocksteady pulls if off again. I'm also glad this is the last one so hopefully they can move on to new IP.

More than likely going to get this one. Loved the first two although I was slightly dissapointed with some slight things in City but it was still an awesome game. With all of that said this trailer did very little for me. I wish they could've mixed in some gameplay with the CGI or at the least helped showcase what will really distinguish this title from City. The trailer also didn't really give any indication on what the story was about. So far all ive seen is Batman being his usual dark brooding self while beating up thugs. Meanwhile the same villians from City return. So far the only thing this game tells me is that it will be Arkham City but now you can drive the batmobile.

I played AA and Ac, is Origin any good? I really liked AA.
They said a year after Arkham City in the Gameinformer video.

That proves my point, at least in your case - some of those most anxious for Rocksteady to move onto a new character or series could care less about what the developers have done for the Batman IP.
It doesn't help that the WiiU is PS360 tier which they've completely foregone.

The trailer was great, but CG trailers is something I wish developers and publishers wouldn't release because the games never match them. Next-generation consoles, can come close provided RockSteady keeps draw distances down to acceptable levels. The fact that UE3 can be modified, and produce something like 1313 is promising.

has the gameplay trailer been released yet?
why does every game needs to be like gta?I actually prefered the linearity of asylum much more...
I think we're only getting a CG trailer.
Half-Life 3 is coming! Don't worry!
Yeah but having this game to close off the trilogy is nice.
Some people are saying a TMNT game should be next.
I'm personally looking forward to a Nightwing game though. But TMNT wouldn't be bad.
Unless Rocksteady go completely wild and give us a great Superman game next.

WB did that to avoid releasing on Wii U, since they probably had a promise with Nintendo if it was cross gen!

I would describe Origin as a medicore retread of City but with a decent amount of technical problems.
Arkam city was one of my fave games of last gen. I skipped origins because it looked like much of the same after playing 100+ hours of city, plus I wanted to avoid franchise fatigue like I got with something like AssCreed so Arkham knight still excites me as rocksteady's next gen exclusive debut. At least they're moving it forward in some ways based on the small amout of reveal info, but I want to find out more about it. Luckily, looks like GI are doing coverage for the whole month.

TMNT would be great - especially if the other turtles followed you around leaping from roof top to roof top.
She'll do more than that for a dollar.

yeah, it's just the Arkham part that doesnt make sense anymore
I mean, Arkham is just the name of the Asylum. I guess it made a bit more sense in City since it was basically a section of gotham city that turned into an open asylum but it just stuck as the franchise name and they just HAVE to call it that I guess. In Origins it didnt make sense either.
It's a pet peeve. Gotham Knight would have been 100x better and would even make me a bit more hopeful that they were mixing things up enough as to call it something else, but yeah, it's a franchise now. (and gotham knight is the name of those short animated films anyway)

refreshing my ipad like crazy. I think around Origins, it came out around this time
I didn't say anything about "making UE3 look next gen" (I'm pretty much convinced a "next gen" game that started dev 3 years ago would be on UE4).
I might be mistaken, but I think the point of the person I was quoting "no matter if it's 3 or 4, an Unreal Engine game always has a distinctive look". Something that is usually said in reference to games like bulletstorm/gears/unreal tournament.
So I mentionned two other Unreal Engine games that have very different looks from what an "Unreal Engine game" is usually expected to look like, to explain why I think it's a mistake to think like this.

Wonder why Scarecrow wants everyone to leave the city....don't the villains always want to hurt the civies?

I don't mind story trailers, but I absolutely HATE when a game is revealed with one. I simply cannot get excited over a new game that shows nothing of how it will play.

Rocksteady should stay far far away from Superman! Any developer who touches that is cursed I swear!
Kidding aside, they might do a good job, although Superman is much harder than Batman I think.

Nice holiday release! Maybe a Spider man game in the same vein next, though I don't know if they want to just be known as the superhero open-world studio.
