We know barely anything about the third installment in the Arkham series of Batman games. But so far, the press has been worrying. We know that a major creative force and critical cast member won't be returning -- is there even a chance for a successful game to come as a result?
From Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Batman: Arkham City to breakout hit Dispatch and new Marvel Cosmic Invasion, these are 10 of the best superhero games you can play today.
Discover the best Batman Arkham games ranked from Asylum to Knight, including Origins, VR and more, with a focus on combat, story, and world design.
Rocksteady is said to be developing a new single-player Batman game, while Monolith's Wonder Woman game has been rebooted.
Man I hope this is true. Arkham Knight was so much fun and a great Platinum to get. Just give us MORE Batman. It's what most of us want. None of this multiplayer shit
Maybe during this time they can also address a performance patch for the existing games... cause you know this new one will likely have quality and performance modes. so why not the previous ones as well.
Arkham Knight was trash. Worst game in the trilogy, not even as good as Origins.
Rumor has it that the Next batman game will be a Playstation exclusive Sony is funding it
I hope this is true. It means it will be of a higher quality and no microtransactions in the single player game. They can also get back-up support from Sony if and when they need it.
Hope the WW reboot's a move towards right direction and came after lessons learned from Suicide Squad's failure.
I have respect for Monolith since the 90s. Don't want them to eff up as well.
I actually got to play test the game last year and it was dull and boring. Similar style to GOW 3 (less violent of course) but really repetitive.
God Of War 3? Gears of War 3(doubt)?
If the former, then fixed camera angle?
And how'd you get chance to play test?
I always though that Gears of War was GeoW, but I meant God of War.
I live pretty close to a WB Games subsidiary, every now and then they ask for random people to playtest beta versions of some games.
Can you describe it, then?
The format, the combat, the visual tone ... whatever?
I hope Arkham is getting a refresh because Sucicide Squad kind of ruined that Universe and I kind of hate how everyone knows who Batman is after Arkham Knight. Kevin Conroy has also passed away sadly.
Either an Arkham reboot or let them create a new Universe which incorporates the Justice League at the start so they can do something with them in the far future.
I'd love a Universe similar to the Batman / Justice League Animated Series.
Agreed. Also for a while there Rocksteady seemed like they would sooner make a batdog game rather than a new batman game
Monolith has their proprietary Engine : Litchtech. Latest version: Firebird.
The versions prior to Firebird were all available for 3rd party licensing since the 90s and were quiet popular. Notable games/series using Litchtech: Blood 2, AVP 2, NOLF, F.E.A.R, Matrix Online, Crossfire, Mordor etc...
Only studio at WB not using UE (atleast not converted yet)
Hopefully they can still make a great Batman game cause arguably, they make the best Batman games.
Lol Doom and gloom again!
Joker isn't the only Batman villain, ya know.. He's just the most popular. A high quality Batman is very possible without him.
See I saw the title and thought wtf, then I read the article and actually now I see their point; I'm really confused why they are going silver age with this I mean arkham city was great and left so many plot strands open for a sequel. Even several of the side missions were left open :( The only real reason I can see this being because of is if Warner Bros are pushing for the inclusion of Justice League elements to try and build up more hype for their film (which currently I believe will be shit purely because half the characters are meh in my opinion and most people a) don't know who they are and b) don't care- justt rying to cash in on the avengers success.)If this is the case it would also explain why the writer isn't returning when he'd set the plot up to continue. I can only hope if this does go the way I suspect it could go that it therefore flops and they return to Arkham as a sequel and convince the old writing team back on board and Warner Bros take a step back and leave them to it. I know it's an assumption I'm making but is it really such a large step to make, to assume the management has taken too much of an interest and gotten the money people involved witht he creative people? If so I can't think of an occasion it's ended well especially in gaming. Also is it possible that the next batman game is what is Game informer's secret cover? That they can't reveal til after it's been revealed at gamescom? Just a thought.
Personally I'd like them to take a break from the Arkham series and instead make something different. The Arkham games are great and easily the best Batman games ever made and arguably the best action game this generation but I can't help but feel such talented developers are almost being wasted by being limited to just the Batman universe. Imagine what they could do if they had complete freedom to do what they wanted.
