Information on Batman Arkham Asylum 2 and it's "very, very dark" style. including leaked characters, information on the dark style, and hints about it being the jokers last appearance in the game series.
"Superheroes have been in video games for ages now. At first tied into cartoons and movies, video games have gone on to give popular superheroes new epic stories and even foster entirely new heroes. " | Explosion.com
The only thing I disagree with on that list is MVC 3. I liked 2 so much better and stopped playing 3 shortly after I bought it because it just wasn't as fun and I missed characters that were in the 2nd one.
Brash Games writes "Liam and Ross like their Batmen manly, their slim consoles, well, not shit and their normal consoles from a galaxy far, far away. Reggie face-of-meat encourages bullying, Sony still can’t do advertising and Liam almost enjoys Kinect. All this, and as always, so much more".
There are loads of ways to improve our gaming experience. I’m sure there are more than a few out there who’ve happily guzzled some mind-altering drugs and freaked when they came across their first feral ghoul in Fallout 3. You’ve also got those people who like to immerse themselves in the game: from the people screaming sexist and racist insults over headsets while playing [insert FPS of your choice here] to the people who spend mortgage-sized chunks of money to bring their ‘MechWarrior’ fantasies almost to sweaty life. That’s not forgetting the bunch of mates who get together, have a few drinks and gradually get more sullen with each other over Need for Speed or FIFA 2012.
after aa2 i'd really like to see a dark knight returns game or some of the elseworlds stuff.
i'm just happy to see DC characters being treated right for a change, i hope the green lantern movie continues the streak.
Weird I grew up on marvel and never really followed DC. respected the heavyweight characters in DC , batman, superman, green lantern , but not to the marvel extent . Now im more into the characters of DC than marvel , it just seems the DC character roles are more defined.
It's weird when you read character DCU comics they do feel more defined and more classic in a sense, I don't know what it is about DC's characters that make you like em so much. With that said I still love Marvel more (sorry DC)
[On topic] we'll probably get out first AAII teaser trailer(extended) at E3 that's pretty much confirmed now. I'm very interested in the sequel even though I have yet to play the first thoroughly.
This game is gonna be awesome \m/
I want this game to do for Super-Hero games what "The Dark Knight" did for Super-Hero films, and by the sounds of it, I won't be dissapointed. I think the only proble with the original Arkham Asylum title was that it wasn't dark enough, for example the Scarecrow realm was nothing like it should have been, the setting of Gotham city this time round is perfect, lets hope for a No Mans Land feel. And if this is going to be the Jokers last appearence in the series, you can bet he's gonna kill a few iconic characters on his way out, my money's on Gorden.
PLEASE let Nightwing be in the game, that would be brilliant.
