[QUOTE]With two developers working on the franchise on alternating years, it appears Warner Bros is well on their way to annualizing the franchise.[/QUOTE]
Uh-oh.
A good superman game please
Come on Silver Age.
I'd like a good Green Lantern game.
[QUOTE=Xenomoose;42723550]Uh-oh.[/QUOTE]
I have faith in Rocksteady look at the Batman games they've made both were really good I thought. I think the alternating years thing though is completely ridiculous, but I kind of saw it coming after all the success of Arkham Asylum and Arkham City in both reviews and sales this just generally doesn't really surprise me.

The sad thing is, Arkham City was the absolute perfect example of what a sequel should be, and Arkham Origins immediately threw that standard out the window. There is no way the series will ever reach back Arkham City's level of quality again if they decide to turn it into a yearly thing.

Please no, superman is boring as shit.
[QUOTE=Ganerumo;42723564]A good superman game please[/QUOTE]
Ahh I dunno. Superman's kinda Mary Sue.
What's captivating about Batman is the fact that he's just a man and there is really nothing special about him other than his fancy suit and gadgets.
Aside from his training, but the point is anyone could do it, potentially.

Origins had nothing to do with rocksteady.
Origins only purpose was to make money off a name, and give more arkham for waiting fans.
Its filler.
Although Origins makes me question "Why am I not just playing City which is better instead?" it does have some great moments.
The new Joker in the cutscenes and his VA is really well done and far more brutal.
Also I have a shitload of faith in Rocksteady, AA and AC are incredible AND [sp]joker is dead so the game wont have him as the main villain, again.[/sp] it points towards Scarecrow being the main antagonist due to the small cryptic ARG from AC and that easter egg on the boat, on top of Hush being sort of the main side villain.
And Raj ah Ghoul who isnt dead.

City striped out all of the immaculate pacing that Asylum had. Hoofing it from one end of the U shaped Open World to another got really old when you had to do it between every plot mission.All we got in exchange for removing the best 3D Metrovania map design ever made was more collectibles and some side quest that were really hit or miss. (looking at you one fight, then done 'Heart of Ice')
calender man game please
Batman Arkham World!
Arkham Solar System
I'd play it

[QUOTE=RichyZ;42726800]city is not a perfect sequel at all
but ye[/QUOTE]
Im going to have to disagree and just say that yeah, it pretty much is.

Also, this game will be good.
By the time its out, it'll have had the same amount of dev time as Arkham City did.

Spider-Man 2 was the mega-shit

Are you high? Arkham City was incoherent and filled to the brink of crammed-in cameos with zero screen-time for some of the lores biggest names. Not to mention how confused the main story was and how it all ends with a totally out-of-character action by the main baddie. Meanwhile, Origins took it back to a bit darker place and succeeded in it. Back to Asylum standards, where permanent damage happens to people, people die and the main villain again shoots to kill.
I personally found City to be a huge miss and too much of a departure from Asylum. Something Asylum and Origins has in common is a focused narrative with tangible, sensible goals and a batman that doesn't get foiled by the villains because Honor and reasons. For example when Freezer first asks you to help, and then turns to fight you. Who does that? even in comics, who does that? That was exceedingly stupid and bad writing. Both Batman and the Villains all kind of just dropped their brains on the floor continously in City. It was cringe-worty at times and that's coming from a guy who thoroughly enjoyed the last 3 hours.
If that's why they got rid of Dini, then that was the right thing to do.
TL,DR:
Batman is a man of strong principle and morals, but he's not stupid.
Asylum presented him as he should be
City made him out as some stupid, gullible idiot.
Origins had him be a no-bullshit guy with early forms of the same principles that guided him in Asylum and the mind that goes with it.
Arkham Origins is pretty fun but I feel like it could have been an expansion for Arkham City.. The story isn't as how do you say it.. Hmm.. It doesn't have what Arkham City and Arkham Asylum had.. It had that sense of insanity and it had a pretty dark/twisted vibe to it. With characters that had more substance ya know? Playing Arkham Origins doesn't really have that many intense moments. The intense moments only come in battle really; when you're running around fending off like 30 bad guys at once.
