Batman : Arkham Origins (2013) Asylum Prequel

[sfa]

NIIIIIIIIIICE!!!!!

 

[Solidus]

Why does Batman look so fat in that picture?

 

[sfa]

I think they're trying to emphasise that this version of Batman is unrefined, and his suit is a lot bulkier, armoured and padded than the future Arkham Asylum/City suits.

Doesn't look quite right for a Conroy batman anyways. Way too young.

The cowl gives me a TDK/R vibe. A lot of similarities

 

[clockwork463]

the costume looks to be heavily inspired by the nolan batman, i'm really liking it.

Love the Costume and the look of the game. I can see Dini not returning since i guess they want fresh writers on the project for a different feel but if its set in that Arkham Universe why wouldnt you have Conroy!? And whats there plan, have a cameo by Joker and have Hamill Play the voice? Thats great but then why recast Conroy? I can only imagine Conroy as the voice of Batman in the DCU, shure there have been others but not really compare.

 

[GasparZizou]

The loss of Dini really makes me iffy about the story, but I will give them the benefit of the doubt cause I really want this game to be good.

Hrm, don't like how the new costume looks more advanced than the usual one...I'd expect it to be much more primitive.

Also, as it's a prequel, I'm hoping some characters take on their appearance from the Arkham Asylum records. Riddler in particular:

Assuming Riddler is in the game - they surely won't be removing/replacing the Riddler trophies? Surely? They're a staple part of the game now. I can't think of a possible substitute for them.

I really hope not.

My only request: more puzzles / riddles, ditch the pressure pad nonsense.

I agree, the Riddles need to be there, but since this is before AA and not after AC, there should be fewer of them than what was in AA. Riddler isn't quite so OCD about them yet I'd think. He keeps uping his game with time, so less would be more logical in this game.

 

[GasparZizou]

The riddler is one of my least favorite villains, I found it so disappointing in HUSH, but, nevertheless I still have love for him.

New pitchas coitesy of the Arkham City/Origins forums:

This is Nolan's batsuit comic version.

This is Nolan's batsuit comic version.

As in, it's just an extra costume in the game and not the "main"?

 

[RIDDICK]

Lol, it is the main one.

 

[sfa]

Actually, seeing the costume there leads me to think they could easily give us a 'TDK/TDKR' skin in this game. They're very similar.

 

[RIDDICK]

I wonder why...

 

[GasparZizou]

I actually think the suit looks more primitive than the 1st 2 games, the suit in those games is leaner and more refined looking, this one is rougher and bulkier, more armored looking, to resist more punishment due to the lack of experience of the Batman.

IDK that's my logic behind it.

I thought exactly the same thing. However everything depends on the neck and helmet area which are pretty complex and obviously much more practical than those we saw in previous games of the series. The same can be said about the loss of briefs - makes no sense at all.
