On one hand, I'm pretty sure Rocksteady wants to move on and the original trilogy (Arkham Origins doesnt count) had a pretty definitive end
About 23 000 sold on Steam according to steamspy, might not be enough for them to pursue it really. VR user base is quite small still, and I think specially for a game with the level of polish Arkham VR had, the time spent developing vs the return isn't as good as these larger publishers really want.
It really isn'tOrigins is referenced in Knight and also a better game than the latter.
Ouch...then again didn't the steam version only come out a few months ago? What about the PSVR version, any good sales data on that?
Nah fam you good.
Having said that, it's easily possible they've hired a completely different guy to voice the next Batman and thus Kevin wouldn't be in the loop. So this tells me nothing.
Still, I'm done with Batman in games until they're ready to take that next step:
Steam version was released in April, so it's got quite a few months to rack up sales. I'd say it's one of the most sold VR games on Steam still, even with "only" 23 000 sold.
No info on PSVR sales, but the "GuessChartz" site has it at 370 000 sold for PSVR, 345 000 of which supposedly in 2016, which would mean 1 in 3 PSVR buyers would've bought it during 2016, which in turn sounds way too high.
Anyway, point is, with regards to SteamVR sales, it didn't sell poorly imo, it's just not at the level WB Games would like for them to push more behind it probably.
Matter of perspective really. Knight is a quality game in the grand spectrum of games, but when compared to the rest of the Arkham sub-series (bar Blackgate), it is not as refined and is more tedious as they try to add more shit to it.
NoGood. Series should've ended after Arkham Asylum
LolGood. Series should've ended after Arkham Asylum
There is zero controversy about this statement.*flame shield up*
Origins > Arkham Knight
*ducks*
Kenin Conroy is the last person I will believe on confirmation of a new Batman game.
It really isn't
Especially when we consider how bug ridden and unfinished Origins was. It was obviously a game rushed out the door to be nothing more than a derivative copy of what came before.

it's Origins > City where it's at. And I firmly believe it.
Knight was incredible so I'm in for whatever Rocksteady does next. Easily the best gameplay in the series, especially the predator rooms.
I'm alright with this. The new Spiderman game will easily sate my thirst for Arkham.
Makes sense, IIRC rocksteady doing other stuff and the origins team... is doing nothing
Boss fights? Sure, but we're talking about sections that make up maybe 5% of the game overall.The combat may be derivative but the story and boss battles were miles ahead of the Rocksteady games.
