No fussed. Batman games are never day one titles anyway.

Now you can wait until 2016 for the goty edition

 

[Nokterian]

Yes February, I can live with that

American date. EU date is 2.6.15

 

[Ephemeris]

*dies*

*comes back to life powered by the hype*

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Great, but I really want to know pc performance and requirements.

 

[Lulubop]

Lame. You guys know you don't have to buy a game when it releases, right?

 

[Sanke__]

Jesus, halfway through the year? How unrealistic was that October date?...

WB's second biggest game if 2015 (witcher 3) is february so it was never going to release too close to then

Also will probably be cross marketed with batman vs superman

I highly doubt rocksteady actually NEEDS that long to finish but im sure it works out for them

 

[Mistah]

Damn june ? the fuck :/ that's almost a year :/

 

[mid83]

I'm all for this. I'd love to see an end to the summer drought of releases.

 

[kinoki]

Why couldn't February be more dreary?! The Order: 1886, Bloodborne and Arkham Knight would have been an awesome threesome for my PS4.

 

[liquidtmd]

You may want to tell the Publishers this.

[TetraGenesis]

WHOA. Much later than anticipated. But goddamn do I love a summer release. Bring it on!

 

[Ephemeris]

day 1 baby. day one

That movie isn't out until March of 2016.

 

[Reedirect]

I'm ok with this. February and March looks crowded as hell already.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

I'm more than happy about this. With all the big and quality titles hitting the next 6 months and in the process of building a PC, I can use the breathing room.

Some of the impressions have been sort of rough in regards to the Batmobile and how the design of the city works with it in providing on-foot/air traversal, so the more time the better.

 

[strafer]

good, they included the AA and AC suit

 

[Ponn]

Sounds like perfect timing right before E3 to announce a price dropped Arkham Knight PS4 bundle.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Jesus, halfway through the year? How unrealistic was that October date?...

Could say the exact same for Watch Dogs release.

 

[Plinko]

Yeah it would've been sent out to die in Feb

It also wouldn't have gone on to sell gangbusters after release either

I sense your unnecessary sarcasm. It will do better because of this release date. Glass of water tastes better in the desert than when surrounded by drinking fountains.

 

[rikichi]

Fuck! That's too long a wait

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

WB's second biggest game if 2015 (witcher 3) is february so it was never going to release too close to then

No it isn't, Mortal Kombat X is, which is april

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Yeah it would've been sent out to die in Feb

How? What else is out in February?

I can only think of Bloodborne and Witcher 3 and Batman definitely has wider appeal than both of those.

WB's second biggest game if 2015 (witcher 3) is february so it was never going to release too close to then

Nuh uh, WB is only distributing physical copies of W3, it won't be making that much off of it. MKX is their other big game for 2015.

 

[Sanke__]

Quite the stacked Q2 for WB with MK and Batman.

Good for them

We all know no one else releases games then

 

[Toki767]

Keep in mind, that Batmobile Edition is probably going to be like $200 if it comes out in the US. Hell, the Limited Edition is probably going to be like $150.

Edit: Well..$200 for Batmobile and $100 for Limited Edition.

 

[Papercuts]

Could say the exact same for Watch Dogs release.

The thing with Watch Dogs atleast is that launch games frequently come in hot, along with juggling a ton of versions. It seems odd to me that this got such a large delay since it was spaced away from the initial madness and is one of the few current gen only games.

 

[Ephemeris]

Summer 2015 is theirs to take.


June though. *sigh*

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I'm surprised the Batmobile and Limited Edition thread got merged here.

New threads for new news. Does that rule not apply anymore?

 

[Ridley327]

How? What else is out in February?

I can only think of Bloodborne and Witcher 3 and Batman definitely has wider appeal than both of those.

There's also The Order: 1886 and Evolve that month, too.

 

[RoboPlato]

The Order and Evolve. I was more worried that this would come out then and kill all the other games coming out that month.

 

[ShutterMunster]

Such sadness...immense sadness.

Ugh, I really like the look of this.

EDIT: THIS ONE IS BETTER!

 

[DrGonzo615]

super bummed that its pushed so far back but excited to see what they can do with the additional dev time.


Ok Rocksteady, now start showing us some more gameplay to hold us over!

 

[Sojgat]

June now?

Maybe the Batmobile stuff really was as terrible as it looked.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Lame. You guys know you don't have to buy a game when it releases, right?

True, but it can be more fun to go through and discover shit at the same time as everyone else. Beside, already pre-ordered it from Green Man Gaming when it was on sale for $39.

 

[Spectromixer]

Batman statue > Batmobile

 

[ced]

Good, we rarely get good June releases.

 

[Ephemeris]

Batman statue > Batmobile

No way. No, no way.

I mean I like the statue and all but.. no.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

In the meantime give us a 1080p/60fps port of the Arkham Trilogy so I can play those challenge rooms on my PS4!

 

[Dan]

I figured May was most likely, so this is basically what I expected. The early months are quite busy already, so this should be a good release time for everyone.

 

[Nintendojitsu]

I'm not saying delayed for cross-gen but I think it might be delayed for cross-gen.

 

[Buckethead]

Can't rush art.

Rocksteady already looks to be ahead in the next gen game.

 

[plasmawave]

They were way off with their initial release date.

 

[RoboPlato]

I'm not saying delayed for cross-gen but I think it might be delayed for cross-gen.

Why? They just announced the special editions and platforms haven't changed.

 

[LAM09]

Quite surprised it has been delayed so much.

 

[Boke1879]

I'm not saying delayed for cross-gen but I think it might be delayed for cross-gen.

I doubt that. I think they either need the dev time or it just makes more sense for them to release in the summer.

Not I think this has anything to do with it but when does the Batman V Superman movie come out?

 

[Ridley327]

I'm not saying delayed for cross-gen but I think it might be delayed for cross-gen.

Apparently, the game hasn't been in super great shape, and since Rocksteady are typically one of the more polished developers out there, October was too unrealistic.

March 2016, so this has nothing to do with that.

 

[ZeroX03]

I'm completely cool with this. I want this game to be the best Rocksteady has to offer.

 

[RoboPlato]

I doubt that. I think they either need the dev time or it just makes more sense for them to release in the summer.

March 2016

 

[Cave Johnson]

Wow, the reveal looked so good already. What else could they add for another year's dev time?

 

[Boke1879]

Thanks. For some reason I thought it was next year lol

 

[Suzzopher]

March 2016.
