"TMNT Manhattan (arkham) City" dreams

It's a ploy that's obviously worked.

It's worked to a point. I don't feel like a rumor "worked" until it's picked up by more than half-assed fan sites.

It would probably be the greatest TMNT game ever if true. But I'm also highly skeptical of the rumor. It sounds like what I or any other TMNT fan would come up with if they sat down to think about what kind of a turtles game they would want to play.

Yeah me too! which sucks cause im sure ill want to play it... also if this TMNT game lacks coop then i will be really really disappointed. But if its on the scale that "Manhattan Crisis" may be on, only slightly disappointed...

I would easily ruin any pair of pants im wearing when i find out.

And then throwing it over my shoulder for good luck.

ahahaha even wiser probably.

Cant believe this though!! definitely gonna be awaiting any type of confirmatory responses from Rocksteady.

I see im a little late to this debate but LEOTMNT has the right idea. This game would be awesome. It needs to happen lol. Obviously it wouldnt be exactly like Arkham City but that general idea for a turtles game is awesome. And I see Powder posted a rumor link that this just might be in the works, after I saw that I got really excited lol. Either way there is bound to be a new turtles game to come out this year with the show, toys, and new movie coming out.

[stormbringer]

Please oh great Ninja Tribunal, let this be true.

[oldmanwinters]

I give about 5% chance to this rumor, but IF it were true here's what I think would happen...

TMNT fans across the internet would assume that an accomplished team of developers would create the ultimate TMNT game comparable with other highly esteemed titles in the genre.

A subgroup of these talented developers (certainly not the whole team) would work hard to make it a decent, playable game. But without the huge budget afforded to this project as some of their previous higher profile games, the game would ultimately resemble a stripped down homage to a more fondly remembered franchise of games in the same genre.

Eager TMNT fans and critical game review websites would skewer the game as "rubish" on account of the fact that final product only turned out "fair to mediocre" when measured against their ridiculously high expectations. Frustrated fans would cry for a game that "truly" does the TMNT franchise justice... at least according to the standard of "justice" existing in their own imaginations.

At the next rumor of a new TMNT game, the vicious cycle of hype and disillusionment would continue.

[CyberCubed]

If its made, I wonder what voice actors they would use for the Turtles. The ones who are doing the upcoming Nick cartoon, or would they actually track down either the original cartoon or 4kids voice actors?

Somehow I am guessing they would use the Nick ones.

[ManBurning]

The game is unfortunatly probably going to happen:

Can't say I am all too thrilled about this idea, as it sounds like it's going to be that awful 2007 TMNT movie tie in game all over again.

The only way they can get me to buy this is if they include an updated full HD 16-bit remake of TMNT3 the manhattan project, as they share similar names... This one is called "TMNT: Manhattan Crisis"

[sdp]

I doubt the rumors are true, I see no validity in them. That'd be an awesome game though. Still my dream TMNT game would probably be a good version of Smash bros or power stone which TMNT has already tried a half ass attempt twice on.

The new game sadly is probably based on the new TMNT show and won't have many liberties and it'll be a straight forward licensed cash-in game.

If the rumors are true then it'd likely be new VA's not the ones from the new show or old shows.

I dunno. Kevin Conroy and Mark Hammil were gotten to play Batman/Joker even though the Bruce Timm DC shows have been over since 2006.

They could very well bring back Cam Clarke as Leonardo for example. Who knows.

[Powder]

All the facebook casuals are wyling the f*ck out over this because they apparently mixed up the meanings of "rumor" and "fact".
OH MY GOD NEW TMNT GAME MADE BY ARKHAM ASYLUM~

Idiots.

[CyberCubed]

I still won't believe this till I see a trailer. You'd think Rocksteady (the studio), would be at work on another Batman sequel after the incredible sales of the last one.

Also isn't Rocksteady owned by DC? I am pretty sure that's why they can't make a game with Marvel characters....so I dunno if they would collaborate with Nick on TMNT.

Speaking of Rocksteady...

Not related to the game rumors at ALL. I just felt like posting this!

I know. I've had so many people telling me about this it's annoying. :p

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they guy created this rumor after reading this thread. The timing is too convienent.

I thought about that too. Seems like I remember a Forum thread (I guess it was this one) getting started in the vein of "Hey guys, wouldn't it be cool if...." and then an article popping up on a gaming site within 24 hours.

I'm downgrading this rumor's truth validity from 5% to 3%.

EDIT: What's really funny is how all the game sites are reporting that the game will "reflect the tone of the original comics," which apparently includes Bebop, Rocksteady, Krang, the Turtle Blimp, and a Hamato Yoshi turned Splinter. Yeah... sounds really reliable.

If knowing how to read/spell/tell the difference between rumors/facts makes me an elitist as a turtle fan then I'm an elite elitist.

Buddha.

You're seriously going to tell me that following a trail of blood/pollen/foot prints is a fun and exciting thing to do in a video game? Alright then. How about playing 75% of the game in detective mode because you can barely tell the enemies from the wall? I love playing games that are just blue and orange. Then there's AC's mission list where it's all fetch quests. Get thing for bad guy, bring it back, fight bad guy, bad guy asks you to get something else, move on to next bad guy, repeat.

Don't explain Batman to me like I don't get it. I know he's a damn detective. Doesn't mean the game is awesome just because he's doing things he does in the comics.

I'll give praise to the combat in the Arkham series but the game as a whole is bogged down by lame design, variety and story. It's a competent superhero game and nothing more.

I do agree that it is hard to view a TMNT game by Rocksteady in light of how the Batman Arkham series is, however I find those games very entertaining. I'm surprised it took you 20 mins to follow the blood trail, that seemed very easy to me like 3 mins tops, and that you needed to the play 75% of the game in detective vision too. Maybe you're screen resolution is bad? I don't know, but the visuals in Batman are fine everything looked normal for me and the mass that have played the game. Playing in detective vision would make it too easy. I do also find it interesting that you even tried Arkham City, simply based on the displeasure it seems you have with the first one. I don't understand what there is to complain about as far as the side quests go, I mean they're side quests were you expecting another game? It was all extra stuff to do and I think it's fine considering the amount you'd spent playing the campaign.

You are really hating on Batman which is fine, some people don't like it, but I don't think you're giving Rocksteady a fair chance with TMNT. We don't even know what kind of game they'll make yet. Granted the only two games for comparison are the Batman games but they made those to cater to Batman and I think that's what they accomplished. I'd like to believe for now that they will study on how to make a good TMNT game, not a TMNT game set in a Batman world.

I do however agree that just because a game is open world doesn't equal instant hit. I don't know why people just assume that.

[Spitfire]

Plenty of people would love the TMNT source material if they were made aware of it or it was used more often. Watered down cartoon versions don't really count. A movie or animation done like the original comic series would probably intrigue people. The general public might not have cared for anything of Batman but the Adam West series but that eventually changed when someone decided to show people what the real Batman was about. Same could still happen for TMNT. The legacy of OT won't hover over the franchise forever.
