Batman Returns in 2013

I would love them to wait and make it for new consoles and PC and expand even further on the size of the game from Arkham City... This time I want the WHOLE of Gotham to explore! I want to be able to explore the whole Wayne mansion, play as Bruce Wayne with proper missions as him, like having to go to parties and events or business meetings (this could be dynamic and if you miss a meetings or something as Bruce because you were doing a Batman mission people start to question where you were and why you didn't turn up...). I want a massive main story with more villains, loads of side missions involving more villains. I want to be doing one mission, whilst in the distance the bat signal lights up the sky and I have the choice of either leaving the current mission to attend the next one or ignoring the new one and carrying on with the current one. I want to drive the Bat mobile around Gotham, I want to fly the Batwing around the skies land on a roof top and stand all menacing on a gargoyle statue because I'M BATMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS WOULD BE EPIC!!!!

 

I felt like that with the first game after about 30 mins, uninstalled and never went back.

 

The first game is in my top 2-3 games of the last 5 years, and was something i looked forward to coming home from work and actually playing.

Great story and atmosphere, enjoyable albeit simplistic combat, no guns which is a refreshing change in a game and while it was essentially linear it never felt that way, even the challenge modes were fun.

Second game gave me some performance issues so it got put on my list of games that will get looked at when i get new hardware as i don't want to play it unless i can enjoy it properly.

A third game would be good, but i doubt i will be interested if it's not Dini and Rocksteady, Aliens CM is a perfect example of how to mess up a movie tie-in, and while i'm not saying who will take over will be as bad a developer as Gearbox, i don't think WB Interactive have many developers suited to such a project.

 

Open CL or not buying.

 

I agree. MUCH bigger metropole needed in Batman3 and the Batwing / Batmobile as main vehicles, driving from mission area to mission area or just searching the open city for clues where to go.

BatmanAC was kinda weird because the whole city was just a huge criminal fortress. Would be great to have a city like in the comics - normal ppl all around and you as the world's greatest detective should need to INVESTIGATE to find master criminals.

 

No Rocksteady. Prequel. Next Gen game.

That's what I'm hearing at the moment.

 

Yeah, it's supposed to be 1950's Batman .. talk about a prequel! I'm not sure about the impact of Rocksteady not working on the game but atleast it might not have GFWL & securom in it. Paul Dini stated on twitter that he's not working on the next game, that's a bummer. I hope Kevin Conroy is still the voice of Batman.

 

i thought conroy and hamill said they were retiring after the last game, newer animated batman movies lack conroy also so i tend to believe he was done done after ac.

 

Mark Hamill said he was retiring after Asylum but he showed up in City. Let's wait till the game is officially announced. I really hope Conroy stays, he's to Batman as James Earl Jones is to Vader.

 

agree conroy is batman if you watched cartoons at all in the 90s.

but with the new movies i find myself missing hamills joker more than conroy's batman.

 

directx11 implementation of arkham city was full fail.
and it is the first dx11 game that needs .net framework 4.0 i see.
that must be the reason of performance problems. it's not native i guess.
physx effects just don't worth, i agree.

but arkham asylum and arkham city are in my top 5 games last 5 year.
no rocksteady, no buying...
well, probably.

 

i thought it was only my crappy video card where dx11 in ac was fail, ran great in dx9/10 mode though.

 

The implementations of both DX11 and PhysX were clearly problematic in Arkham City, but both things were patched late in development by Nvidia and both are optional, so I find it weird that people complain about something that can be disabled.

I quite like the idea of the game being set in the 50’s, will be a different atmosphere, but without Dini I worry about the writing and no Rocksteady makes me worry it will be a shallow and linear action game.

Voice wise, after watching a recent animated movie with Peter Weller doing the voice, I’m not convinced he is a good choice for the part.
I also saw a clip the other day, and sure it’s the guy from Person Of Interest/Lost (forgotten his name) doing the joker now, done and ok job, though no match for Hamill.

 

Mark Hamill was absolutely brilliant. He was so good that I started to research on who was the voice behind the Joker and I was stunned to find out that our good old Luke Skywalker has become the voice behind many evil characters! That beeing said I'm curious to see him in SW episode 7, maybe Luke turns to the Dark Side after all, he could certainly act the part! :evil:

As for the next Batman, I'm up for the ideea of a prequel, I liked the first two games but I got a bit bored of the Arkham theme.

 

this. did the exact same thing

 

No Rocksteady... no interest.

 

Batman Arkham Origins? Translated from the french website...

get rid of crappy U3E streaming (or this engine in general) or deffo not buying.

Both earlier titles were bad enough and now Bioshock :S

 

Rocksteady again? Wonderful They know Batman. And they know drm .. lol. I dearly hope they skip the garbage as MS itself isn't slapping on GFWL anymore.

 

AWESOME, love the games
