As a WiiU owner I'm not bothered by the fact that it's not coming to it. I would be if the console was technically in the same league as PS4/XB0. This is despite the current market conditions facing the WiiU. Since I get the feeling this will be Rocksteady best work, even though there isn't any gameplay video released. PS4 has a consumer primed and ready to spend my hard earned cash.
What if what we saw.... was all in game...
Seriously I hope it's not asking much to expect similar level of graphics quality in game on a next(current) gen platform.
Bahahahahaha!
No chance!
I want to eat crow! :'(
I don't like this, man. I don't like this one bit. Hope they'll confirm it soon enough.

youtube description says it is the finale of the arkham series, take that as you will
Not at all
I recognize there was almost no good batman games before they came around and I respect that
Hell I basically gave it credit by even playing arkham asylum to begin with, I never would have touched a batman game otherwise

Yeah, I meant character design.

Yep. Best story, best understanding of the universe and its characters (the way
Bane gets turned into a brutish thug at the end is like a deliberate commentary on how badly Rocksteady treat him

There you go:

Also give our new stream a try, it looks quite good

Looks great, man. Thanks.
The trailer did nothing for me, tbh. I'm always interested in good Batman games and Rocksteady knows their stuff by now, so I trust that it will be good. My only concern, whispering at the back of my mind, is that it all looks a bit too familiar. Harley? Check. Twoface? Check. Penguin? Check. I want something new and the car wont be enough.
Just because Troy Baker can do both voices doesn't make it a twist worth doing.

Wouldn't make sense if it were another prequel. That would make it a prequel to Origins, right? But then,
Wouldn't make sense, has to be a sequel.
Batman meets Joker for the first time in Origins. And Harley is still normal in Origins whereas she's clearly Joker's Harley in Arkham Knight.
Wouldn't make sense, has to be a sequel.
You're likely joking, but I'll say it anyway. The Order is a linear game while Arkham Knight is open world.
Not going to come close to those CG visuals like TheOrder sadly, but I'm sure it'll still look great.
I agree, design was top notch and story was quite enjoyable too (expect the part that
it was Joker all along

Please be voiced by Kevin Conroy! Epic trailer!
The piano player in the video found here looks like it could be Nick Arundel, from Arkham Asylum & City.
Well, this game is the final boombastic Arkham series conclusion, so i guess it is a sequel.
Yeah but; wans't Arkham City a one-night run for Batman? you were supposed to fix all in just one night (hours, after Jokers sickness). Pinguin was full-defeated with no weapons and being watched by Arkham Police security, and Two face was beaten by Catwoman.
What about Azrael? What about Hush? Killer Croc it's alive too according to the game itself. Like i say, the game needs to feature new enemies, or at least get the primary roll to some-what new character (like Scarecrow in someway).
Then not everyone gets to play new games
Last gen started 9 years ago, sorry you didn't budget for consoles between then and now

qft. Seriously a million times this. I don't want nintendo scrimping on manufacturing costs to hold back this gen and I'm happy it isn't. I'm hoping for special things from this game.

That's good.
His Arkham City theme captures the essence of Batman like Hans Zimmer's score never did.

Multiple characters. Better be. GTA-style.
This looks good, but a bit worrying at the same time. I loved Asylum and City, enjoyed Origins a lot too (people give that game too much crap imo), but if Origins showed me anything, it's that the Arkham formula is beginning to wear thin. The fact that it came out only a year ago, and with more DLC just announced isn't doing this game any favors either.
It is Rocksteady though and if anyone can deliver its them.

Oh don't get me wrong, I agree that it would be cool to see other villains. I really hope we get more of Azrael and Hush especially. Someone like the Red Hood would be a welcome inclusion too.

I don't understand the hate Origins gets it's probably my favorite Arkahm game, it was fun, had a great story (I felt it was better then AA and AC) and felt like Rocksteady made it....
whats not to like?
plus their design for bane
and a lot of the other characters were handled so much better then Rocksteady's.

plus their design for bane
not counting the end

Game ends with Superman showing up in Gotham to talk about a group he's setting up.

i felt like i had more hype from origins cg trailer because of all the bosses. this highlights there is a batmobile... which isn't that big of a deal, lego batman 2 was open world with vehicles... heck even that gameloft dark knight rises mobile game was open world with batpod/plane and tumbler
on a similar note, nolan batman doesn't look too shabby in game form, I wouldn't mind a slightly less bulky batman that makes his ninja like moves seem a bit more believable.

Pretty much this, Joker's story was ended perfectly in City. Leave that ending as canon and move the fuck on already.

You're forgetting the best batman game of all time that did it first
It's a bit of a risk releasing the game just for the platforms announced, particularly if the One sales don't pick up. We may have a separate announcement for the PS3, 360 and Wii U. From what little we know about the Wii U's hardware it should be able to handle downscaled ports from the more powerful 8th generation consoles. You'll see less draw distance, lower poly models, more jaggies, more pop in, lower quality textures and lower native resolution but it should be possible.
It's pretty plain to see that there's a lot more going on under the hood of the Wii U than we're aware of with a few games running in 720p native at 60fps and with v-synch enabled. Super Mario 3D World, The Wonderful 101, Mario Kart 8, X, Bayonetta 2 and SSBU are all technically very impressive, although a great deal of people who don't know any better put it down to 'good art'.
Engines these days are scalable.

So glad it's back in the arms of Rocksteady as well.
Can't wait to play the PS4 version!

Warner Bros is starting to be a top publisher for me personally. Next gen Batman, the new LOTR game and Netherrealms rumored next title are all at or near the top of my interest list. If they want to produce nothing but top quality licensed games then so be it.

i think a lot of people don't realize batman origins was made by a different developer
