Was wondering if someone was going to make a thread for this one. I think it looks awesome!
Just wish one day there could be a superman game that I think looks awesome too....

Man, they seems to be chugging out at a steady pace. Is it really necessary to have the Arkham name? It doesn't seem to be set inside Arhkam anymore.
Trailer pretty cool though. Although the bat mobile looks like the designer could the cider if they wanted to use the Tumbler of the Burton car as inspiration and just compromised and used both as reference :P

The only problem with Superman is that only superpowered beings have a chance of even hurting him. How would the flying work? What kind of henchmen would you fight?

Hopefully the open world isn't as clunky and useless as it was in Arkham City.

I could see a Superman game of similar caliber. Just set it in space have some super villains and Superman is slowly draining from solar energy due to being too far away from the sun.

That looks amazing.

The fact that the Batmobile is playable, The World will most likely be even bigger.

A Superman game can work if the people behind it would be a bit more creative and think outside the box.
I did see a fan idea for a Man of Steel video game floating around.

Awesome preview.
Nothing to complain about whatsoever.
The fact that this will be out this year on next gen is truly good planning in keeping the batman franchise flowing very well.
The gameplay preview promised tomorrow hopefully shows the batmobile in action and how you can utilise it. Hope you can remote control it like in the preview.
What an awesome preview once again, it really delivers above all others even movies.

Rocksteady was rumored to do a Justice League or Superman game for some time, they'll probably move onto that after this series ends. Of course I assume Batman will still appear in whatever they do next anyway.

Did the Arkham Origins have anything to do with the asylum?
Keeping Arkham in the title names seems so pointless if it isn't about the actual Arkham Asylum, I thought Arkham City was a title stretch, this is getting a bit ridiculous.
Next title should be Arkham Halloween, just because.

No, it doesn't. It is a prequel to the series. It takes place in the early years of Batman's career. It revolves around Black Mask putting a hit out on Batman.

But the story deals with them having to create a prison for them since blackgate wasn't working. Hence the origin of Arkham .

Sounds dodgy, Wasn't Arkham already a Asylum within the video game canon before Batman came to be, or even born. The recordings of Amadeus Arkham was very similar to the comic, Arkham Asylum: Serious House on Serious Earth. One of the things I really liked about the first game.
The stuff that came out today about the world being larger sounds reeeeeeeeeally off putting.

Hush heads up the game with Two Face,Scarecrow, and Harley(minus Joker?). Should be interesting. Hope its easier to beat. :P
What game was supposed to have a Silver Age feel and incorporate the Justice League. Was that a Lego or a Arkham concept? Did it get scraped? I would love that idea!

Probably the next game.
I have a feeling the Batman Arkham series is turning into the next Assassin's Creed. Meaning there will be a new game almost every year now.
I hope not though.

It's the last of the Arkham series, it doesn't mean its the last Batman game.
If you honestly think WB is going to give up a huge money-making franchise you're kidding yourself. I wouldn't be surprised if the team that made Origins is working on another Batman game themselves to be due out in 2015.

I haven't played the game, but my friend wouldn't shut the hell up about it. From my understanding the game has little to nothing to do with Arkham. The main story is of Batman taking down Black mask and his hired guns. But yeah the title I guess would be appropriate.

No, you said Arkham series turning into ac and I just said last of the series. If this is the really the last game in the series then it ain't gunna be like that. Never said it'll be the last Batman game, don't know how you even got that. Batman had games before Arkham and there will be games after.

The title, "Arkham Origins" is because Arkham Asylum technically doesn't exist in that game. The prisoners are in Blackgate prison. Commission Gordon wants an asylum to hold the prisoners and that's what leads to Arkham Asylum.

This isn't hard to understand. What he means, very clearly, is that this style of Batman game will almost certainly continue, though perhaps not under the Arkham name. The comparison to AC being that it becomes a multi-studio series that moves away from a two to three year cycle and towards annualization. This has pretty much already happened. Anyone who thinks the Arkham style of Batman games goes away after Rocksteady moves on is clueless. IF they're even allowed to move on.

I agree, the series has just made to much money and the fan demand is just too great for them to ignore.

Well, here (http://www.scified.com/site/batmanvssuperman/new-batman-arkham-knight-pictures-reveal-more-of-games-cast) are some in-game screenshots of the game, including a look at the Arkham Knight.
The trailer was awesome and judging from the screenshots, the game doesn't look that much different from the previous entries. I gotta say, I am a little disappointed to see that characters still look over buffed. I was hoping for something a little more refined, like what was seen in the trailer. Oh well, still very much looking forward to this one.
When this one came out I thought, "ugh, another one". I loved the first one but by the time the second one came out I had lost interest, the Arkham world is too "grim dark" and too roided up, I just dislike the art style now and the gameplay didn't seem as interesting as it once did.
Counting that this is a PS4/XO only game and not a PS3/360/PS4/XO game you can bet that they'll be making more games with this engine. Whether it's rocksteady or not, even if it's not an "Arkham" game, but even then maybe it's the last "rocksteady" arkham game, after all even DC is releasing a DTV movie about this universe. But yeah hope it's the last, I'd be open for a different art style.

I agree, sdp. Loved the first one, but got around half way through the second before getting fed up. Too much of the same, running around in detective mode constantly and if I had to do yet another room hanging from gargoyles taking out the baddies I think I woulda thrown the controller through the screen... It was fun the first couple of times but repetitive much? Also during large fights I found myself mashing the buttons so much it was hurting my hand :-/

When I saw the trailer, I was really hyped up. The graphics were beautiful though I think they could have been better. When it shown that this was going to be released for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC only, I was like "Oh boy! It looks like they are going fully next-gen!", meaning it looks like they want us to move on to the current systems. I understand that we're still in the transitional stages but it really is time to move on to the new systems. And once again, a third-party game skips the Wii U. Couldn't the Wii U handle this game?! It's not exactly like the Wii was compared to the 360 and PS3.

I don't have a PS4 or Xbox One yet, Still have the 360 and PS3. However I do have a high end gaming PC that can play all those Next Gen games. I might as well get Arkham Knight on PC when it comes out. However I still have Arkham Origins on the 360 which I haven't had a chance to play yet. I'm gonna have to before I ever start playing Arkham Knight.

They need to at least let us play as Nightwing or Robin in single player. Its tiring playing as Batman the whole game, and Arkham City let us switch to Catwoman.

I hate it when people make complaints like this about any game... It's a Batman game. More than anything, I wish they'd introduce co-op. Rocksteady should definitely tackle that in their next Batman series.
That's like saying you shouldn't want to play as Luigi in a Mario game. People like diversity and secondary characters, man.

Yeah, but to say you're getting tired of it? That's the series... Come on. Is it so wrong for someone to be the only playable character in THEIR series? It's not like Luigi or Catwoman made or broke the game. I'm not saying screw diversity, it's just that I see this same complaint all the time about different games and sometimes the only difference is an avatar change.
It's like when people suddenly got sick of Master Chief just because Bungie gave them a taste of something different. Some people out there are actually mad that Halo 4 had Master Chief...

My only issues with Master Chief, He's always wearing that Helmet, Even in doors. Kind of hard to relate to a character you never see the face off.

Arkham Knight is officially delayed till 2015. Surprising as the game has been in development since 2011...so its going to have 4 years of time.
I'm glad Arkham Origins exists, I can't imagine waiting from 2011-2015 for the next game. Arkham Origins was quite fun and I never ran into the glitches people claimed online.

Don't get me wrong, this is still one of my most anticipated games ever but these new designs just seem so uninspired and generic....
I can forgive it though with the redesign of The Scarecrow who looks...Perfect! Though it pisses me off how they didn't even get Jeffrey Combs back as the voice. John Noble is an ok choice I guess but come on!

So this game has just been delayed till June 2015....wow. Looks like this game was far from finished, its hard to believe it was originally planned to come out this Fall, then got delayed till February 2015....and now not until June 2015.
Looks like Batman: Arkham Origins wasn't just a filler game after all. Had that game not come out, it would have been a 4 year gap between Arkham City (2011) to Akrham Knight (2015). Hopefully more people play Origins now as it was very underrated.

Those corpses in the Penguin's lair in Arkham City always creeped me out, as well as Batman's hallucination of his parents on the coroner's table in Asylum.
I can only imagine what the creators have since come up with.
