Official Batman: Arkham Knight Trailer Gotham is Mine
- Thread starter dex3108
- Start date
Origins was the perfect chance to have Red Hood Gang as an early/mid boss and end with a fight where you knock Red Hood 1 into a vat of chemicals at Ace.
Why they missed this chance, I do not know.
Origins already did that, sadly some faces in AK look bad.

Rocksteady has been developing this game for almost 4 years. And it shows 
I'd play that. But Arkham Knight will be an action movie starring Batman and crew.
You better run
Don't wait here I come no
The fuel in my fire won't run dry
It burns bright
And you better hide
I came for a fight, yeah
Until Gotham is miiiiiiine!
Batmanetta. He shoots baterangs out of his boots, constantly sucks lolipops, and his costume is made of the hair of billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne.

Am I the only one let down by this? I feel like I've played this game before; three times in fact. It's the same story, same setup (villain takes over asylum/city/city/city), samey-looking city, same villains, mostly same moves, the "toughest challenge for the bat, yet". I'm sorry, I just can't get excited
Someone doesn't read batman comics.
Right now the three "mainline" Batbooks are as follows:
Batman -
in the middle of End-Game where the entire city is hit with a new version of Joker's Toxin and are all fighting batman, including the Justice League
Anarky has given everyone masks and most of the city is rioting and looting.
Gotham is totally in chaos, all of the baddies are loose. Gotham is burning, Batman's cache's have been destroyed. Bruce Wayne has had his assets frozen. Arkham Asylum was destroyed, and moved to Wayne Manor. Most of the bat family has turned on Batman for hiding secrets from them during a previous cross-over. Commissioner Gordon is in prison and Bats still has no idea who is up to shenanigans, but we've so far eliminated Riddler, Court of Owls, Hush, and Ra's.
And this is following on the heels of Zero Year, Court of Owls, Gothtopia in the last 2 years. It's fairly standard comic trope. You have to escalate things.. though this is the first time that Gotham itself has totally fallen apart in the games.
There are slower paced "smaller" Batman stories. Preventing a crime, inner crime family fighting, etc. But generally if you are going to tell a Big 15+ hour Batman tale you are going to start looking at these kinds of stories. They almost always involve one big bad that is using the others to their own means.
So, Knightfall had all of the bad guys in it, but it was Bane playing Batman, etc.

Of course there will be, specially with the ending of Arkham City:
Batman reconsidering his hero role after the biggest villain in his career is dead. With Scarecrow in the mix, I'm sure he's going to at least hallucinate with Joker. You'll have to cancel your preorder, man.
Same as in Arkham City (part of a city) and Arkham Origins (entire city). Also, the whole "there was a meeting of supervillians" was also covered in Origins.

Cmon man he already had two games. Time for Scarecrow to get his shine on.
I actually question whether the story can be any fun without the Joker.
Mark Hamill was exceptionally fantastic in Asylum and City(and completely overshadowed all the other villains for me)
And its sad to see no CATWoman.Her gameplay was amazing in Arkham City.
At any rate the game will be fantastic ,but please bring on the Cat!

Oooh, that's definitely encouraging! Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Rocksteady will do open world the best way possible, I'm just not entirely sure if, at least for me, open world can ever be better in this type of game than something more linear like AA. Maybe it's just because I don't have the attention span to appreciate all the smaller stuff in between missions
Alot felt the linear, more focused, design of AA fits and plays better. It does in a way, but when you have an open Gotham filled with so many things that makes it feel like Gotham i think that offsets the straight path story of AA. To me the city in AC was a character and story itself. Which it actually was if you solved all those riddler puzzles.

I realyy hope that this game will be awesome!
Great trailer. I'd wouldn't mind seeing a version with subtitles, though, as John Noble's grizzly mumble combined with the radio distortion made some bits uncomfortable to listen to. I had to watch it a couple of times to take in the visuals and listen to the dialogue separately. Though I'm not complaining about having to watch it more than once, and the full game will have subtitles, assuredly.
I've been told that opinions can't be wrong, but I saw some people in this thread wish that Kevin Conroy wasn't voicing Batman and that they should get the guy who did Origins instead.
Those opinions are wrong.

Liking all the changes that they made to the villains. Harley is definitely looking a bit like Margot.

Kevin Conroy is THE BATMAN, well him and Ben Affleck anyways.

Not seeing the Margot comparison AT ALL.
Zero Year wasn't out when they started making Origins, was it?

I know Hamill is done with The Joker and passed the torch to Troy Baker but I'd still like it if he appeared in a minor role, doing a voice that doesn't murder his vocal cords. A final bow and a wink to fans. Same with Arleen Sorkin.

For someone who skipped origins, is there a summary anywhere? Or do you think it really matters?

Be right back,pre-ordering this shit.

just go on wikipedia, but the plot of origins has nothing to do with Arkham Knight.
Agreed. I feel like this is the first real trailer this game has had.

I know 'Remaster' is a dirty word but if someone put a spiffied up collection of Asylum and City in one convenient package in front of me, I'd have a hard time saying no.
Completely forgot about this game. Shit, need to go preorder.
Lol already a GIF for this and it works
There is secret code in the trailer.

That was basically my experience when I went from the 360 versions of Asylum and City to the PC versions (especially once I upgraded to an Nvidia card).
Buttery smooth framerate, full resolution, and the Physx stuff like volumetric fog and fluttering papers (which does hurt the framerate, but it looks so good that I keep it).
