Apparently they're historically the most successful driver of game pre-orders as far as marketing assets go.

I'd need to see that research. It could just be that games release a CG trailer during the period of marketing that has the largest amount of pre-orders (like now, a game reveal).

Either way, I agree with those harping on the trailer. With the capability for graphics like those in Infamous: Second Son it's about time to use in-game, in-engine assets for game trailers.

 

[B.O.O.M]

That was a boring trailer to be perfectly honest

 

[jmizzal]

CGI trailer ugh

But not surprised this is PS4 and XBone only since its coming out this year, they didnt get Origins, PC gets all tho

 

[TheRealTalker]

Is this another prequel or set over Arkham City?

after arkham city

 

[Justice_Bolt]

Seriously i'm hyped ! Can't wait.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

That was a boring trailer to be perfectly honest

it was. What I really want to know is how the Batmobile will fit in to the flow of gameplay in this installment.

 

[BadAss2961]

this may be the last Batman game without any crossover nonsense

I can't wait for the crossover nonsense to be honest. These guys have already succeeded in making a great formula for Batman games.

I'll be ready for something new next time.

 

[therealminime]

Best part of that great Blur trailer:

 

[Dysun]

Day 1.

Can't wait to see more, love Batman Arkham and Rocksteady

 

[Darklord]

My only question is why is this called Arkham, you would think they would drop it and simply make it Batman by now.

Because it's the Arkham series and that series has sold shit loads for WB.

 

[keltickennedy]

Fingers are crossed that they will have this at PAX East in some sort of way.

 

[Wingfan19]

My Bat-Body is ready

 

[Marcus]

show me gameplay

 

[viveks86]

A big LOL at those who have been going on and on about how 'AAA' games that haven't shown gameplay yet can't possibly release in 2014!

 

[Figboy79]

Trailer was awesome. And yeah, it was done by Blur (my buddy works for them), and they have a tone/style to all of their Batman work so far, and they've kept it consistent with that. I highly doubt this trailer speaks for what the final game will look like, but I think it looked great.

Very excited for this one, as I've only played City and Asylum, and skipped out on Origins (I was actually waiting for a PS4 version of Origins, but I'm more interested in this, now).

 

[lucius]

Great trailer, day 1 unless something crazy happens with the game.

 

[Setsuna]

Should i wait for the GOTY edition or pre order

 

[LiK]

Because it's the Arkham series and that series has sold shit loads for WB.

And it's part of the trilogy so might as well have the same word to avoid confusion.

Jokers back baby!

 

[3bdelilah]

After Arkham City.............. I think? Especially since

Spoiler

Azrael's prophecy

seems to be getting true.

 

[thewhitehawk]

I think this is the best trailer we've seen so far this year, and one of the best trailers in quite a long time.

 

[Demon Ice]

no clue where people say he's streamlined leaner now...

he seems about as bulky as AO, maybe even a bit more so in the ingame shot.

That armor is definitely leaner compared to the armor he had in Origins. I thought they specifically designed Origins' armor to be bulkier to portray how it was less advanced / refined.

 

[JetSetRadio]

No PS3-360 port confirmed, even by another studio?

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

I didn't hate Origins, but I was supremely disappointed by it. It's good to have Rocksteady back at the helm.

Curious as to what the real story is. Scarecrow attacking the city is definitely just a small part. I just really hope it isn't

Spoiler

Joker being resurrected

.

 

[Lifejumper]

The order 1866 style flowing cape
Pls.

 

[3bdelilah]

Spoiler

Jokers

back baby!

Hype -100 if true. I love

Spoiler

Joker

, but I don't need this shit.

 

[2spooky4me]

Rocksteady is back?

 

[KingSnake]

They lost the perfect opportunity to show 5 seconds of driving gameplay at the end of the trailer.

 

[bedlamite]

Didn't see anybody discussing this, is that Liam Neeson's voice as Thomas Wayne in the trailer?

Getting Ra's al Ghul to voice Thomas Wayne, well played, Rocksteady, well played.

 

[natertots]

Suddenly getting a tingle somewhere in my body that's urging me to replay the asylum and city.

I think we all know it's high time Man-Bat made his glorious debut!

 

[RedSwirl]

Unfortunately I believe this is gonna be one of those "modified U3" things. Expect to see quite a few next gen.

Seems to me like Unreal 4 isn't ready for AAA games coming out in 2014. We might get a couple, like how the first UE3 games started coming out a year after the 360. Even then you still had later games using modified UE2 like BioShock.

 

[Alienous]

https://mobile.twitter.com/Andrew_Reiner/status/440875690980679680 Hmmm what could this be..?

"Detail". Not feature, hmm?

UE4. Can it be anything else?

 

[Demon Ice]

I hope there's soft body physics on the cape on the console versions. The PhysX cape in the PC Arkham games is amazing.

 

[javie3d]

seems rad

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Preorder then buy GOTY edition later!

 

[B.O.O.M]

it was. What I really want to know is how the Batmobile will fit in to the flow of gameplay in this installment.

I'm gonna make a guess here and say you will be able to 'call' your batmobile anytime. any place for traversal so you will have a choice between that and the grappling hook

 

[jbug617]

Hope the Harley Quinn preorder DLC is the only DLC. PS3 versions of Asylum and City both had exclusive DLC so I hope the trend doesn't continue.

 

[jett]

no clue where people say he's streamlined leaner now...

he seems about as bulky as AO, maybe even a bit more so in the ingame shot.

People were judging by CGI renders over which Rocksteady had nothing to do with.

lolz at those people. Batman looks exactly the same as before, I imagine the game will play mostly the same as before as well.

 

[SykoTech]

A little disappointing that there still won't be any civilians. Oh well, I guess that's another thing I'll have Second Son for.

Here's hoping the street thugs do more interesting things than chat with each other and beat down one defendless dude in an ally.

 

[UrbanRats]

I'm certainly glad that they ditched the whole bulky style, but it's extremely boring to see CG trailers still in full force.

Just for the trailer, or for the game, too?

I love the Arkham games, but the character design is beyond hideous.

 

[CrackPebbles]

HARLEY!

real talk though, I wonder how much rocksteady actually cares about combat, they got some interesting mechanics going. if it were expanded upon and balanced properly I would be really hyped for a new batman game, will have to wait until they start discussing things like that.

 

[NeoUltima]

Damnit, I wanted to see the graphix.

 

[keltickennedy]

I think if Joker is going to be in it, he will be incorporated in some sort of scarecrow poison level in Batman's head. He seemed disturbed about the Joker stuff in the Harley's Revenge DLC. I'm hoping they keep that in mind.

Damnit, I wanted to see the graphix.

Screenshots will be released soon after the game informer issue is released.

We still got Roidsman.

Trust Rocksteady, gang. They know Batman.

CG trailers are pointless on NextGen.

Or it's direct footage???

 

[JinjoUnchained]

After this reveal, is it save to call Arkham Origins a cash grab now? This looks like the real sequel to Arkham City and makes Origins look like a knock off to fill the annualized release quota.

 

[Blader]

Didn't see anybody discussing this, is that Liam Neeson's voice as Thomas Wayne in the trailer?

Getting Ra's al Ghul to voice Thomas Wayne, well played, Rocksteady, well played.

No, that was a voice actor but damned if I could place him now.

 

[Totobeni]

I'll be ready for something new next time.

DC wise... Superman, Wonderwoman, Captain Marvel, Flash and Lantern are very hard to do in video game because of their crazy abilities (also superman fans will go crazy if he is not 100% pure boring saint)

Green Arrow, Aquaman, Blue Beetle and Jonah Hex can make good video games especially Green Arrow if Rocksteady go and make something similar to the awesome TV series.
