Rocksteady: Other Superhero devs “don’t take it seriously”

The reason Batman: Arkham Asylum was so much better than previous superhero games is that other developers have treated them as “more of a kid’s property,” says Rocksteady’s Dax Ginn – whereas they are taking Arkham City just as seriously as the crew on Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight films.

take out cat woman from batman AC and i will be able to talk you more seriously

Venoxn4g5394d ago

actually I believe them... I only know a few good superhero games..

Please Rocksteady, make a serious spiderman game :)

Quagmire5394d ago

Activision owns the rights to that, unfortunately.

However, I would LOVE for Rocksteady to make a Spawn game. Spawn isnt too dissimilar to Batman in terms of gameplay, just with a lesser emphasise on stealth, and more on action and gore.

Pikajew5394d ago

Did you ever play Spiderman 2 the game?

KingSlayer5394d ago

@Quagmire
Activision doesn't own the rights. They do, however, have an exclusive deal with Marvel Entertainment granting them exclusive rights to the Spiderman and Xmen franchises. Til 2017. *sigh*

Spiderman 2 is an awesome superhero game.

Venoxn4g5394d ago

i love spiderman: maximum carnage ..a hd remake or sequel would be welcome...or better both! :)

Hozi895394d ago

Now, if only movie adaptations of video games were taken seriously...

Quagmire5394d ago

Development time and budget are the two main reasons they can almost never be. Devs are given a short amount of time to make the game in time before or during the film is made, coupled with the miniscule budget they are given to work with, doesnt make for a quality title.

Although you have gems like the Raven Software-developed Wolverine which was a fucking awesome game to play, better than the film it was based on!

peowpeow5394d ago

I think he was talking about the other way around :)

Sharingan_no_Kakashi5394d ago

True.

I long for a serious Spider-Man game. I mean I know Spider-Man loves wise cracking but his games could be a lot more serious.

mobijoker5394d ago

Rocksteady proved that superhero games can be great,not just some cheap jumping around and fighting to boredom as it was before arkham asylum.

Rocksteady's New Game Director Is an Assassin's Creed Franchise Veteran

Rocksteady has hired a new game director that not only is an Assassin's Creed franchise veteran but even worked on the Batman Arkham games.

Blad3runner00258d ago

I wonder if ex Ubisoft employees put “worked on Assassins Creed” on their resume or not, as it would give an automatic red flag to avoid hiring them.

cloganart258d ago

Unlike what we may personally think, most AC games have received generally favorable critical acclaim and managed enough commercial success to warrant an uncomfortable amount of sequels. 😂

neutralgamer1992258d ago

A series which has sold over 200 million copies should be on your resume contrary to popular belief people doing the hire want to know if you have had success before

TheColbertinator258d ago

Plenty of gamers enjoyed Valhalla, Odyssey, Ezio's trilogy and the Origins. High critical acclaim and high sellers to boot. Get off your high horse.

Inverno258d ago

The vast majority of the industry follow the Assassin's Creed template for open world games. The issue is fanboys wanna act blind to the fact that all the issues they have with AC are present in all the open world games made in the last decade. While also not having touched an AC game in that long.

It could be great! He worked as Design Director on Arkham: Origins & Game Director on Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Valhalla and Origins.

I think this is a great sign that Rocksteady is shifting back to a Single Player experience after Suicide Squad.That's reason enough for me to celebrate.

YourMommySpoils258d ago

Time to copy and paste Altairman and his hidden batblade ability.

YourMommySpoils257d ago

it'll be all fine and dandy until until the crime fighting due same gender relationships kick in lol

anast258d ago
