[w00zey]

Any chance of a holiday release or are we talking next summer?

 

[shield]

This game just went straight to #1 of my most anticipated video games of 2014

 

[Bluekaveli]

Open world?

 

[ZeroX03]

Says she's playable in challenge maps only which means nothing for the story.

Yep, same as Joker, Robin, Nightwing and Deathstroke. Catwoman was the only character who got her own part in the main story (Robin was DLC only).

Hope they bring back Robin and Nightwing as playable characters. No reason not to, really.

 

[CambriaRising]

Origins really soured me on the series, so we will see.

 

[Barry Burton]

All of this is the best-possible news. Super-psyched!

 

[On Demand]

2015 release i hope. I just beat Origins a few months ago. This industry is crazy.

 

[marz1988]

Maybe Green Arrow?

id be down for this

 

[deadman69]

It was even done before that, it wasn't very good. >.>

[Deadly Cyclone]

2015 release i hope. I just beat Origins a few months ago. This industry is crazy.

Fall 2014 I'd assume.

 

[Clawww]

this looks alright, but I'm more interested in where they'll go next with Batman now that Arkham is over

 

[Byronic Hero]

Cool. Let this be the last one for a couple of years though. Don't want this to become as stale as Assassins Creed has. Cause Origins showed that it was darn close.

 

[Whompa]

Calling it now:

Scarecrow is the Joker in disguise.

 

[DieH@rd]

Now I want to see how they explain missing civilians...

No Man's Land, city in ruins, fires, everyone under siege of villains.

 

[jooso]

Trying to care about Origins, but can't wait for this!

 

[MYE]

Should have been Gotham by Gaslight

 

[LiK]

Origins really soured me on the series, so we will see.

Wasn't made by Rocksteady so there's hope!

 

[Shadow Ranger]

I am pleased with this.

Inb4 this whole thing was a Scarecrow nightmare...

 

[Asd202]

Next gen only? Did not expect that, anyway day fucking one on PC.

 

[Sanctuary]

Who is doing that? Not me. I only see it from some dumb outlets and market still doing that.

Read this thread.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

I bet The Joker backstabs Scarecrow and becomes the big bad for the game.

 

[block tower]

YES. hype level rising!

 

[GAMEPROFF]

.

Seriously, why? Grand Theft Batman?

Because its Batass or something like thisyyy
All they need is confirming Bruce Wayne Gameplay and night/day-changes and the trainwrack is confirmed.

 

[Joei]

Do any of you who like this open world bullsh-t asking for civilians n all of Gotham actually like the first Arkham game?

 

[MYE]

I also bet its coming to PS360

edit: that bat mobile looks like the fucking tumbler...yawn

 

[KennyLinder]

[GCQuinton]

It's very surprising that they seem to be skipping the last gen versions. Like I said in the IG thread, I think this will be the first major multiplatform game to skip the last gen versions in favor of a fully current gen game.

UFC comes out in May, so it's likely the second. Not sure about others off the top of my head. Still a crazy small number in general, though.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Loved AA, didn't like AC, skipped Origins...

With that being said, I LOVED Scarecrow in AA, and him, driveable Batmobile, and current-gen only really has me there day 1.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Now I want to see how they explain missing civilians...

Maybe that's the reason it's next gen only? Have a bustling Gotham full of civilians with day/night cycles as well as dynamic weather?

 

[witness]

New gen only+batmobile+arkham finale=I'm absolutely down. I can't wait to see how this wraps up and it makes me excited to see where they go next

Spoiler

Superman/Justice League/ Worlds Finest!

 

[MormaPope]

Who wants to bet that there's going to be last gen versions/this is a cross gen game?

 

[SmokedMeat]

Oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man! Hope the Joker's not in this. So sick of him.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Scarecrow as the main villain? Aw hell yes.

During the last act, the Scarecrow mask is removed to reveal....it was Joker the whole time!

 

[Acosta]

Next-gen only is the best thing I could ask for, more excited about this!

 

[Colonel Nasty]

I can't wait for them to shoehorn the Joker as the main baddie.

 

[Figboy79]

Damn. I'm incredibly excited for this. I never played Origins, but I loved Asylum and City. This sounds amazing. And next gen exclusive? Yes please.

EDIT: Hell, even if it is crossgen, I don't care. I haven't played a Batman game since City launched. I'm in for the PS4 version.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

Driving the batmobile through the Wayne grounds, on the way to Gotham; meanwhile the batsignal is visible on the nightsky.

 

[def sim]

I'm pleasantly surprised! Letting go of the previous generation is enough to have my attention.

YES. hype level rising!

Thank you for removing that gif. That was in poor taste, as you must have realized.

 

[RPGCrazied]

I also bet its coming to PS360

I think so too. Cross gen games are going to stick around for at least another year.

 

[chickdigger802]

Are there no more big villains in batman universe that could be good boss fights?

I don't want to fight the same baddies again... having the same baddies kinda makes retroactively makes the old games seem... pointless? waste of time? idk

 

[JB1981]

Loved AA, didn't like AC, skipped Origins...

With that being said, I LOVED Scarecrow in AA, and him, driveable Batmobile, and current-gen only really has me there day 1.

I am enjoying Origins quite a bit. Think it's a solid game. Quite long too .. i'm almost 40 hours in and still not done. Haven't even done side missions.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Kinda excited, though kinda tired of the Batman games. Will wait to hear more though.

YES. hype level rising!

I really hope you didn't post what I think you did..

 

[War Raichu]

Good news: next-gen only, Scarecrow as the main antagonist, drivable Batmobile
Bad news:

Spoiler

the final boss will be The Joker. Again. As a Scarecrow-induced hallucination.

 

[TheOddOne]

 

[KAL2006]

I doubt it's holiday release. I expect Q2 2015 release, with a Arkham Trilogy port for next gen systems this holiday to prepare us.

EDIT: I also expect a Bat Jetmobile in this game

 

[ShogunDarius]

Calling it now:

Scarecrow is the Joker in disguise.

Scarecrow is Joker wearing a mask, that was actually Black Mask wearing a Joker Mask, that had Red Hood Under it, that was actually Ra's Al Ghoul, which turned out to be Clayface.

 

[Elginer]

My body is SOOOOO FUCKING READY. Bring it Rocksteady!!!

 

[MYE]

I think so too. Cross gen games are going to stick around for at least another year.

Which is totally awesome IMO
Absolutely no reason to get a PS4 so far

 

[Astorgh]

YESSS

 

[Forkball]

"The villains team up to defeat Batman once and for all." Didn't they already try this for three games?
