no multiplayer. they could have had co-op in the main story batman has sidekicks. they could have brought batman inc into this or damian. I hope they change this. also I hope they make slight changes to the combat system but it's batman though what else is there to do but hide in the shadows, go from rooftop to roof top, beat up thugs , do detective work and solve puzzles. they should have an expert level where detective mode is disabled and players would have to use their wits to solve puzzles and crimes. what i'm saying is they can't have 4 games with the same thing.

my boy told me thats the anti batman if that video is correct they are creating an all new enemy so this image could possibly be off. It's still early though so we just have to wait and see I'm hyped either way.

To be fair Rocksteady didn't have anything to do with Origins. It was just used to hold people over for this title.

The first two games were stellar and I highly doubt they'd go the next gen route to just rehash those same concepts.

I was hoping the rumors of Rocksteadys next game being TMNT were true but I'll gladly take this.

quick question. why was azreal or whatever that person was that was watching over batman in arkham city.?

 

[nujerz84]

He part of the Order of St Dumas. Batman is the chosen one.. if u recall he said Gotham would burn etc.. The Logo of Arkham Night is surrounded by fire

Info dump:

-Last Batman game for Rocksteady, will work on something totally new next.

-There will be a brand new villain, something made by Rocksteady that they say will be the ultimate test for Batman

-Batmobile can be called at any moment with a button.

-The city streets are much wider to allow for the batmobile. You will rocket jump off ramps and do all sorts of cool maneuvers.

-You can eject jump out of the batmobile right into a super fast glide straight through the glass of a building to knock out enemies. They said glass breaking will be a big new thing.

-New moves include being able to use all your gadgets during flight. You now have a counter throw where you counter a guy and throw him into another guy. A new quick ground takedown. A quick backflip where you then throw a batarang in an enemies face.

-For the predator sections you can now chain takedowns of up to four enemies. For instance pop out of a grate and take one guy, jump to the next and so on. You can now enter grates from a distance, he will automatically do a jump or roll to enter them.

-Riddler challenges seem to be car based. The first one has you enter a sort of Riddler race track where you have to activate walls and ramps, when you activate one another closes so as you drive you have to be constantly turning on and off these ramps as you navigate the course.

-Batmobile fires missles and stun guns. It destroys anything it touches so if you bump into cars the cars go flying. It's basically unstoppable.

-Story is that after Joker's death all the criminals decided to work together and their plan comes together this night where they plan to kill batman. The article talks mostly about Scarecrow, he scattered bombs throughout Gotham.

Oracle will play a larger role, you get to visit her base and talk to her, tons of batman easter eggs included.

Kevin Conroy is Batman, all the previous voice actors are back.

-Gotham City is 5 times bigger than AC. Split into 3 areas. NO LOAD TIMES at all, entering buildings is seemless.

They spend a bunch of time talking about how detailed the models are, one character has more polygons than the environment of Asylum.

-Batman will start off with the old batsuit and upgrade at some point in the game.

-It says it is running on their modified Unreal engine.

Tech

- Arkham Knight is built on a "juiced up" version of the a custom Unreal Engine to make use of the Xbox One and PS4.

- By not being cross-gen they've been able to push what the machines can do

- Rocksteady describe Arkham Knight as "a real, genuine next-gen game"

- There is no multiplayer in Arkham Knight. Rocksteady is focused on "making the best single-player experience it can" and doesn't feel it needs multiplayer.

- Game Informer says Rocksteady isn't saying what's next but "it's most definitely not Batman related"

- The finale has been in mind since the development of Arkham City

- Rocksteady is emphasising the detail is more important than the scale of the world. They don't want to create the biggest open-world, they want to create the richest, densest and most vibrant

- Batmobile is designed to be "the best car in any game ever", it takes up around 160mb of memory in game and will just about fit in an Xbox 360 (if that was the whole game). There are hundreds of thousands of polygons, as well as textures and shaders used on it

-No more pre-rendered cinematics everything is done in engine

-The larger riots can have up to 50 people flipping cars and looting stores.

Characters

-Things such as Gordon's trench coat and Batman's cape now have Apex cloth physics. They react realistically to changes in wind and movement

-When it rains rains bead of water run down Batman's suit tracing every groove

-The wrinkles on Gordon's face crinkle as he talks

The City

-The city is as detailed as ever with realistic moving clouds with the moon shining through

-Halloween characters and balloons litter the street adding a creepy vibe

-Neon signs of the various shops shine brightly around the city

-The skyline has helicopters and blimps flying through it

-Steam puffs out of the sewers in a realistic way

I expect almost all villians to be in the game... Ra Al Ghul body was missing, How did Harley Get the Robots from Wonder City without the League of Shadows?

Bane, Killer Croc, Poision Ivy, Mr Freeze, Hush and Mad Hatter were all still free in AC. Calendar Man stuck at the Courthouse etc

 

[focus]

Joker will probably be back as well via the Lazarus Pit

 

[Karl.]

Origins didn't interest me. Looked kinda stale. This has my attention though.

Finally, the batmobile!

 

[VIBE]

Woooooooooow

This sounds fucking awesome.

Actuallyl calendar man got loose lol. When you beat the game go back to the courhouse he's gone and hopefully he is in it this time they stayed teasing him. Freeze hmm maybe but definitely killer croc will be back as hee is still running around the sewers and i forgot about poison ivy. Hush, scarevrow, this new villain, and azrael will have pretty big parts in this game i think.
