Batman: Arkham Knight
 

So a 4th Batman Arkham game is coming out, This one titled Batman: Arkham Knight. This time you get to drive the Batmobile. Check out the Announcement Trailer.

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.

So this one's made by Rocksteady?

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.

Just saw a post that said this is the final chapter of the Arkham story

Best part of the Trailer? The Rocksteady Logo!

That's how you know this game's gonna KICK ASS :D

That logo is exactly why I'm feeling leery.

i wanna play this game!

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.

Damn amazing trailer!!!! I am currently playing Arkham City and I wont be getting this game when it comes out, but definitely down the road.

Finally the Batmobile in open-world Gotham. Think GTA just with Batman.

There had better be pedestrians walking around the streets this time.

Let this be the end of it.
Please.

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.

Stupid question maybe, but is this comin out only on PS4 and Xbox One? Or will we get it on PS3 and 360?

Just next gen.

Its coming to Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

Do any of these assholes know what Arkham actually is anymore?

k, ty very much. bummer, that means no play time for me :ohwell:

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!

Arkham Knight is apparently the name of the new villain. Yeah.

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 like people don't read when you say your read this game will be the last in the series.....

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.

Guess what I read and what he meant are two different things..that's fine.

Glad Rocksteady is keeping Joker dead.

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

Well, here 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.
