Nah, I know as much as you do. We got a photo of that same poster yesterday. Have been trying to find out more.

So you weren't at that supposed press event at Rocksteady? Hm...

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I was hoping that they'd give the series a breather and explore some of the very, very interesting DC characters right now like Green Arrow and Aquaman.

Even with the success of Arrow, I highly doubt that the mainstream audience cares so much about this character, that Rocksteady would makes just nearly as much money as they could with Batman.

And Aquaman? Really? Nobody in the mainstream audience knows who Aquaman is. The most people know him as a joke from Big Bang Theory.

 

[8bit]

Arkham Aflame.

 

[Tadale]

Can we just not call it 'Arkham XXXX' again? It seems really silly to think that the Arkham name is what's selling these games.

 

[FourMyle]

Really. That's your go to for "interesting DC characters?"

That could translate well over to video games? Absolutely. Batman is about as interesting as spoiled milk.

 

[Alpende]

I'd like a true sequel to Arkham City. I hope they focus on next gen mainly, but that's probably not the case.

 

[Revolutionary]

Really hope this is Rocksteady and not WB Montreal.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

That could translate well over to video games? Absolutely. Batman is about as interesting as spoiled milk.

They dont care if a charachter is "interesting". They care if they could make money with a character. And the last three Batman movies proved that you can make a hell of money with Batman.

...sure.

 

[BBboy20]

All of Gotham or Bust.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Still no game about The Flash guess closest we will get is DC Universe and Infamous SS.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Ashes of Gotham! Open world with civilians/cars, Bruce Wayne (undisguised) playable is what I want.

I'd love this, but only if the game is current gen only. Having it be cross gen would severely the limit the scope of the game...

 

[Graphics Horse]

The glow/fire around the edges...wonder if we're getting anything related to the destruction of Wayne Manor.

Think bigger.

Hope it's a GEN8 game only including PC. This game needs to take full advantage of next gen hardware.

Well someone needs to announce a next gen only multiplat, it feels like we've hardly seen any yet.

 

[TheFurizzlyBear]

Is there anything Zeppelin related in the Batman universe? While I was at work yesterday (I work at GameStop) I saw we had "Zeppelin poster announce" coming in and I was hopping it was gonna be something Rock Band related (I can dream can't I?) but I'm gonna assume it is these Batman posters.

 

[marrec]

All of Gotham or Bust.

Arkham Sewers: Gotham's Poop.

 

[Tsundere]

Batman Arkham Rising

Spoiler

That's my best guess...

That's all true. As a consumer I was just hoping they'd expand to the rest of the DC universe. There is a lot of potential for really great Green Arrow/Aquaman/Wonder Woman/Flash games, and it would be a shame if they spend all this gen making nothing but Batman games as well.

 

[.la1n]

I hope it will be more Asylum and less City / Origins. I am sure the game will still look great even if it is cross gen, obviously the UE3 contract is very telling. Hey WB while you are at it how about a New 52 Swamp Thing video game?

 

[j0hnny_385]

Next-gen Batman is Game Informer's next cover story, 100%.
Looking forward to it. Origins was kinda meh... :/

Zeppelins are a important point of the gothic asthetic of Gotham. Also, there was a lot of Zeppelins in Arkham City in the Skybox.

 

[Monooboe]

I really enjoyed all the Arkham games but even I got that "oh not another one" feeling seeing that poster. I still want that Rocksteady Turtles game!

 

[GoodlifeX]

That logo alone extinguished my hope of it being a Batman Beyond game. I will just keep dreaming I guess :/

 

[TIMtationX]

If I can't FINALLY drive the Batmobile around Gotham, then I don't care.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

That could translate well over to video games? Absolutely. Batman is about as interesting as spoiled milk.

While I would love to see probably 85% of DC (and Marvel) characters nuked from orbit, but Batman is not one of them. They just need to cut out the "Batman's greatest hits" feel to the endless parade of villains who behave in tiresomely familiar, charicatured ways.

 

[Gurrry]

I hear its going to be set on Valentines Day. Thats why there will be no one but criminals on the streets of Arkham, everyone is too busy inside with their loved ones!

 

[Frayne Daddy]

Love the batman games but this is getting to be to much. What if they make a justice league type one? Like start introducing new allies.

Asylum is still my fav.

 

[Daingurse]

I'll definitely play another RS Batman game, but someone needs to give them the TMNT license. I wanna see that shit.

 

[Wrynnax]

Gimme a helblazer game dammit! With magic and con man skills!

 

[Terbinator]

Enhance.

Ha.

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

Gimme playable Superman and/or Wonder Woman and I'm there, man, I'm there.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

You laugh but when I was trying to find somewhere open for dinner on the 24th of Dec in Frankfurt it was actually like that. 90% of people in the streets at 7pm were extremely shady looking.

 

[Interfectum]

Yup, agreed. They need to push Batman forward instead of doing the villain parade every single game.

 

[Blues1990]

That logo alone extinguished my hope of it being a Batman Beyond game. I will just keep dreaming I guess :/

That was what I was hoping for, as well. I would love to glide across the future Gotham skyline as Terry, along with hearing "Old-Man Wayne" giving me directions on my next objective.

 

[jett]

I hope they've changed up the formula considerably because that shit felt tired as fuck in Origins.

 

[nelsonroyale]

This does not excite me overly much and is likely to be cross gen. GTAV next gen announcement is what I am waiting for...

 

[jschreier]

So you weren't at that supposed press event at Rocksteady? Hm...

I was not. I don't think we sent anyone - we don't take travel from publishers, and a trip to London would be pretty expensive.

 

[funkystudent]

Scarecrow as the main villain or no buy!

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Conroy pretty much confirmed he was working on a new Arkham game.

And remember that contract with Epic that all their games through 2014 have to use UE3, so expect that cross-gen hotness.

Wtf, ripten still exists

 

[Epcott]

The entirety of Gotham
Play as Bruce and wear disguises
Toned down reliance on detective mode
Actual detective work and puzzles


Pleeeeeeease Rockybaby! Please!

 

[BinaryPork2737]

I really don't want to see the Batman Arkham games become annual releases. It already seems to be going that way if this is a new game. The whole situation feels exactly what's happened to Assassin's Creed thanks to Blackgate Origins being a parallel example to Liberation HD.

 

[shiftplusone]

Would fit the theme of logos so far. Seems a bit tame compared to the others mind you.

Red/flame outlines definitely fits the hints dropped in AC by Azrael.

"From the ashes of Arkham, the fires will rage and Gotham will burn....."

Twas my guess

If this is indeed the final game in their trilogy then I expect a kind of somber ending, just like in ALL BATMAN MEDIA
excited that rocksteady is back in on it

 

[Live Free or Die]

Screw the haters, I'm really excited.

Same here. Can't wait.

Same here.

 

[SmokedMeat]

I hope they change things up a little. Origins got real tedious and I just lost all interest.

 

[DaSorcerer7]

Please, no more joker.

 

[Whompa]

If it was batman beyond, I'd be pumped. If it's just another Bruce Wayne game, bleh.

 

[Lord British]

I'm excited. Haven't finished Origins yet due to tedium, but another Rocksteady Batman can't be bad.

Arkham Reckoning.

 

[Blink Me]

I'm failing to think of Batman villains who haven't appeared in the game yet. Help me Batman GAF.

I'm still waiting for my super creative Green Lantern game with the different lanterns and constructs with awesome alien villains.

 

[Prince Vultan]

Wouldn't be that next gen 'Arkham trilogy' release Famousmortimer(I believe) was suggesting a while back was coming would it?
