anyway

I'm looking forward to the game!! I liked both Batman games~ and I'm sure I'll love this one too ^_^

So Conroy is NOT voicing Batman, but the actor who played Ezio in Assassin's Creed is the new Batman.

However Kevin Conroy is still in this game, so perhaps he is narrating the flashback from the present day?

So Roger Craig Smith voices Chris Redfield, Sonic the Hedgehog, Ezio, The Pulverizer and now Batman. What an amazing guy!

His body of work isn't exactly sterling.

Some confusion about whats going on here. You're right, Roger Craig Smith will be voicing batman in Arkham Origins with Troy Baker as the Joker.

But Conroy is NOT going to be in Arkham Origins. He had confirmed that he was going to be in the new Arkham game, but it turns out he was refering to the NEXT game in the series, not Origins. So much batman!

Aww hell, I was all pumped for Conroy, oh well, trailer still looked damn good.

*NinjaMan* · 10-04-2013, 08:17 AM

So can't wait for this game!

Voghel told IGN that the costumes announced so far are just the beginning.

“The costume DLC is going to be available with the Season Pass and it’s basically a bonus right?” he said.

“There’s going to be a lot of value in that Season Pass. One of the items we can’t talk about yet. We’ll just wait for the gamers to really see what the entire package contains. It’s going to be a big deal.”

The season pass will cost $20, and its announced content includes:

New Millennium Skins Pack: Contains five Batman skins and one for Robin
Infinite Earths Skins Pack: Contains five Batman skins and one for Robin
Gotham by Gaslight Batman: This skin is only available through the Season Pass
Brightest Day Batman: This skin is only available through the Season Pass
Initiation: Play as Bruce Wayne
An unannounced story expansion for the game

Batman: Arkham Origins releases worldwide on October 25 for for PC, PlayStation 3, Wii U and Xbox 360.

Season Pass for character skins? Boy I feel sorry for the people who fall for that.

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 10-04-2013, 05:31 PM

I'm so excited for this game!

Is anyone excited to play the Adam West Batman?!

I'll give that suit a run in the challenge maps.

Usually it saves gamers who are interested in getting them a fair amount of money over the cost of getting them individually. Plus there's other stuff in the Season Pass besides skins, as clearly stated. What's the problem?

Exactly. I will for sure be getting the season pass with this one, loving all the skins so far. Can't wait. Three days.

Got the game already for PS3 in my hands.

Goodbye social life.

It's pretty similar to the past Arkham games. With loads of added new things.

Where the hecks the Joker? Seems Black Mask is running the game at the moment, masterminding a group of assassins to kill Batman. I like that it focuses on other villain for a change.

Here's my playthrough:

Heard this game is kinda middling. Wondering if it's just people finally realizing the fact these games have issues, or if it's another case of the "rushed sequel by a B team" in full effect.

I'm a fan of the Arkham series, but I wasn't planning on picking this up...until today. The mixed reaction that "Origins" is getting, compared to past Arkham games, piqued my interest.

I really enjoyed Bioshock 2 and "DmC", so apparently these developer-switching - "cash-in-sequels" are my kinda games!

*Shark_Blade* · 10-25-2013, 09:53 PM

If it's not broken don't fix it. And they're right, they keep all the good things and add some new ones. This is similar to Pokemon. Same formula but add new things to it in every new games. And that franchise has been on going strong for years, even now.

Anyway, back to the game. From what I play of this new Batman, it's all good. No complains from me so far.

I'm enjoying the story too. Some characters like Vicki Vale in Arkham City is explored more in Arkham Origins - which is nice. She was very brief in AC.

*MikeandRaph87* · 10-25-2013, 10:04 PM

I love the visuals on this game. Great detail and sceneary in general! Copperhead was just brought back in the comics so its odd seeing a female version exclusive to the game. Game exclusive villians are nothing new (Tin Su of Batman along with Tora and Shogun of TMNT) but it would have been nice to see Killer Moth have a chance at an upgrade. Electrocutioner, the version we see in Batman#331(1981)? I was surprised to see him in the first ever Batman video game and am here as well. Definitely going to keep an open mind here.

I would love to see a game based around the Silver/Bronze Age!

*NinjaMan* · 10-26-2013, 02:08 PM

Another winner for me. Love this game! Especially the boss fights. Been a great week of gaming for me with this and Lego Marvel.
