Love the thread title!

[CoreyD]

Excited, but nervous...It's gonna be really, really hard to follow up on the first two games.

[Hikuro]

Awesome, looking forward to another batman game.

[Vepariga]

im so pumped for this,the screenshots that been released look awesome! going to be another solid title,love'em

[Dynaman]

My son loves these games, I've heard countless hours of Joker's henchwoman's comments in the background while I was playing another game or doing work...

[Mommar]

Interesting, it's not Rocksteady working on it this time. I wonder if that will be to it's detriment or not.

[kanedaestes]

From all the information, Rocksteady approves of the group and handed over much of their unreal software and other stuff to make for a seemless transition with the games.

[VF-15 Banshee]

So if eight assassins are coming after Batman...?

1. Deathstroke

2. Deadshot (?)

3. Lady Shiva (?)

4-8. (???)

What? You think they're gonna release all their information at once?

[CoreyD]

King Snake?

[Hoptimus]

Deathstroke they have shown also.

Looking forward to this. I loved the first 2.

[Archer]

After Rocksteady, I really hope these guys know what they are doing! In other news, this only adds to the seemingly endless stream of sequels that I need to pick up now, on top of the PS4 itself (Infamous, Killzone, Assassin's Creed, now Batman, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, etc. etc. etc. etc.)

[azrael]

So apparently, there will be 2 games under this title.

Batman: Arkham Origins for PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and PC.

Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate for Nintendo 3DS and PS Vita which will be set directly after Arkham Origins.

No, just asking for educated guesses.

[Archer]

If this game is not for PS4/next xbox, I will be thoroughly surprised. I thought everything in the October timeframe was destined for next generation goodness.

[VF-15 Banshee]

Merciless teasing.

[505thAirborne]

Looks more like a live action movie than a video game.... very lifelike!!

[kanedaestes]

Except that's just a cut scene so yeah still waiting for gameplay

[Mommar]

Yeah, no gameplay in that trailer at all.

[lechuck]

What! You guys don't like CG cut scenes?

[505thAirborne]

Except that's just a cut scene so yeah still waiting for gameplay

Very true, hope the actual gameplay is impressive.

[Negotiator]

Cut scene looks great. Just wish they'd announce if Kevin Conroy is back or not. And if they intro the joker, will mark be back? Kinda sucks about the ds3/vita game. If they make it free for those that bought the game on the consoles, that would push me to buy a vita.

(Damn more play arts figs too.)

[kanedaestes]

Mark officially retired his Joker after Arkham City

[Mommar]

They already announced Kevin Conroy is not doing Batman's voice in this game. Batman is significantly younger in this one and they want somebody who sounds younger to play him this time.

I don't understand what you think sucks about the 3ds/vita game exactly?

[VF-15 Banshee]

I'm given to understand that these are in-game screenshots. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/gamenews.php?id=102683

Sucks as in I don't have a vita or 3ds to play it, but if there were a code for free download from the ps3 game, it would push me to buy a vita.

Hope the new guy is good and doesn't sound forced. If he's significantly younger, maybe they can stretch out his younger years for a few more games.

I liked the first game. The second seemed to just ramp up the difficulty too much.

[badboy00z]

That's exactly what I thought. Looks awesome!

[azrael]

Was anybody at Dallas Comic-Con to hear this?

CONFIRMED: Kevin Conroy Says he WILL Return to Voice Batman in 'Batman: Arkham Origins'!

[Mommar]

That's a surprise, I had heard otherwise. I'll need to go back and see if I can find that article I wrote about it... unless there's some some twist to the story that allows both him and another to voice Batman.

Sweet! I'm sold.

[kanedaestes]

Full Trailer, still no gameplay footage though.

YT link:

And if you preorder, you will receive Deathstroke as a playable character DLC.

Some other tidbits: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/20/batman-arkham-origins-is-a-blast-from-the-past

Batman will be voiced by Roger Craig Smith (Ezio from Assassin's Creed and Chris Redfield from Resident Evil). So is Kevin Conroy doing a flashback roll in this or does he have his games mixed up? Troy Baker will be voicing The Joker. Also taking a cue from the earlier setting is now you'll have to avoid the GCPD as Commissioner Loeb will be after you (Batman).

[Mechleader]

Looks GOOD!!!
