Media Batman: Arkham Knight

[FSLAR]

To be honest I would much rather an Arkham game set in the Beyond timeline. We really need more from that era.

Same. Just imagine the possibilities with Terry's rogue gallery alone, Blight would have made a fantastic boss fight.

 

[RIDDICK]

the rumored next batman Arkham game is called "Apocalypse"

Stupid soft reboot instead of something new?
Stupid Damian Wayne instead of Terry McGinnis?
Easy pass.

The Arkham series needs to die. Especially if Rocksteady aren't developing it any more. What are they up to these days?

According to rumor, trying to find a way to make a Superman game work.

All this Damian Superman Arkham reboot nonsense

How about they reboot the crap ending to Arkham knight and give us more Bruce Wayne to play as. His story shouldn't have ended with Arkham knight. One game on the PlayStation 4? What a waste. He had plenty of stories left to tell/play.

I'll be skipping any future releases where Bruce isn't batman.

I have a conspiracy theory that the Damien game is a ruse to prevent actual leaks from coming out on the real Batman game. I know its probably wrong, but I'm holding out hope for my Origins sequel or something along that line. If the Damien thing is actually true, I'll be massively disappointed but still eventually buy the game for literally EVERYTHING else I've heard about the game.

 

[RIDDICK]

give us more Bruce Wayne

W-Wheres my Supes geimu? ;_;

Oh God, I would kill for a Question game. Give it the LA Noire treatment and gameplay with some DC weirdness in it and you have a classic.

My biggest issue with AK is that I feel like it was just the foundation for that "ultimate Batman experience" they touted it as. They had a lot of great elements that I felt could have been built upon to create something even grander, and I was sad to see them leave it at that. Dual play, for instance, struck me as an excellent precursor to drop-in/drop-out co-operative play. Imagine a Batfamily centric game where a friend could join you in the heat of battle, or, hell, what if you even took dual play a step further and took things in a direction similar to Grand Theft Auto, where the characters go about their business patrolling different parts of the city and you could switch characters at any moment, unlocking hero specific quests and side missions.

The Batmobile was another issue. Personally, I loved the car, and, even, Battle Mode grew on me, a little bit, but it was far too pervasive, to the point of being, frankly, invasive, when I feel that it should have been a feature that you could use, rather than a tool you had to rely on. With that being said, I felt that, once you got the hang of it, at least in pursuit mode, the car handled like a dream and, honestly, I think you could probably put it against a lot of top tier racing games in terms of the amount of control it afforded you, and I would have liked to see it make a return, but as an option, rather than as the star of the show.

With that in mind, I feel like it would also be cool to feature Batman's other vehicles. Imagine pursuing Man-Bat through the clouds in the Batwing or pursuing Santa Priscan drug runners from Gotham Harbor in the Batboat. Ultimately, I feel like the key to making any of these things work is balance. I'd love it if you could traverse the city your way, be it gliding, flying, driving, or boating, but, when it becomes more of a chore than fun, that's when you know it's probably time to give it a rest.

The other thing, though, is that I would love a populated Gotham. Every Arkham game takes place in an evacuated ghost town, and I would love to see Batman interacting with citizens, as opposed to just beating on criminals. Maybe tone down the destructive capabilities of the Batmobile and have traffic introduced. Pedestrians who can be mugged or any other number of crimes in Gotham. I'd love to play a game that captured what it felt like to be Batman for a night without taking place, exclusively, in one night.

If the game progressed in real time, and, sometime, you'd just have thugs to deal with. Others, a crazy dude on a building with a sniper rifle and a bomb on his chest, and then, other times, a member of the rogues gallery might break out of Arkham and, depending on how you play, you can deduce their plan and prevent it, entirely, or be forced to intervene, should it go into effect, and, on that note, I'd like a detective mode that challenges you and doesn't hold your hand. I'm not saying it's got to match Batman's intellectual prowess to a T. After all, of the game wanted us to operate at the level of the "world's greatest detective," none of us would be able to play it, but introduce some real detective work into it, rather than ******** simulations. Investigations, interrogations, false leads. Imagine a Batman game where you could dust for prints, track down suspects' last known whereabouts, and determine whether or not they did it, while gathering more clues.

I don't know. Some of it...Hell, most of it sounds way too ambitious, at least for this generation, but I feel like they could've implemented some of that stuff rather than just saying "you got your next gen Batman game, see ya around!" I just hope that, if they do take on Superman, they do it justice.

Well, I loved the game but that doesn't mean I don't have some really big issues with it. Top of my head are:

- No boss battles.
- Too much Batmobile.
- No villains. Yes, you heard that right. Everyone's just a repetitive side mission rather than being relevant to the story.
- Terrible Arkham Knight reveal which was the worst mystery ever written in history.

 

[FSLAR]

Same. Just imagine the possibilities with Terry's rogue gallery alone, Blight would have made a fantastic boss fight.

And it gives them a lot more to work with. It'd also be nice for an Arkham game to not focus on Joker, and they couldn't really do that unless they had something on Return of the Joker or made the Jokerz a huge plot point.

Even worse then why we would regret our words and deeds toward Quiet?

This list is basically my thoughts, along with a very strange plot at times and how the game focused on Joker heavily despite promotional media saying Joker wouldn't be a focus. Gonna also throw in the Riddler to this mess, my god they went mad with his side quests. I thought the amount of Riddler was fine in Arkham Asylum, overblown in Arkham City, not even worth it in Origins but Arkham Knight...why? I still haven't gotten everything yet. For good reason.

 

[ZaCHw117]

they should just continue the story and make it a TDKR story.

 

[RIDDICK]

TDKR

...I liked L.A. Noire. I really did... I'd also love a Question game in the same vein.

As for other, non-Batman games, my Top 3 would be Wonder Woman, Green Arrow and Deathstroke.

It basically already was.

Damien is such a **** character. So tired of him being shoved down our throats by dc. Would much rather have **** grayson nightwing game or beyond.

 

[ZaCHw117]

you do know i'm taking abou Frank Millers graphic novel, The Dark Knight Returns, not the movie The Dark Knight Rises right?

It basically already was.
