Re: Batman: Arkham Origins

Conroy is definitely a welcoming thing. Now, show me some game play before E3 please!

I just found out today that the president of WB's Montreal Studio is the same Martin Tremblay that helped drive Sierra Entertainment into a crap hole (or at least bought out by Activision...same thing as crap hole). Prior to his becoming president of Sierra Entertainment, Sierra was heavily profiting thanks to an agreement with Valve. Hopefully this guy doesn't ruin WB Montreal before it even gets started...

Re: Batman: Arkham Origins

Well, I have to pre-order.

Playable Deathstroke DLC

I have a feeling its another challenge room DLC for Slade similar to Nightwing and not story play like Catwoman was.

This game is going to be so awesome. Adding Deathstroke, whether its a combat mode DLC or a story DLC doesn't matter to me, I love some Deathstroke.

Re: Batman: Arkham Origins



Also, about Kevin Conroy doing the voiceover work. Not quite....

http://www.joystiq.com/2013/05/20/batman-arkham-origins-stars-roger-craig-smith-as-batman-troy-b/

Warner Bros. revealed Batman: Arkham Origins is fronted by two of gaming's most prominent voice actors. Roger Craig Smith is confirmed as the caped crusader, and Troy Baker is his nemesis, the Joker.

If you don't recognize the names, you'll definitely recognize their previous work. Craig Smith's immense portfolio includes Ezio Auditore from Assassin's Creed, Chris Redfield from Resident Evil, and he's the current voice of Sonic. While he's never starred in anything Batman related, he does have superhero experience. It is for the other side, however; he's played Captain America in both games and animations.

Baker is similarly prolific. While he recently graced our screens as Booker DeWitt in BioShock Infinite, his past work includes Sgt. Matt Baker in Gearbox's Brothers in Arms, Snow from the Final Fantasy 13 line, Kai Leng from Mass Effect 3, and Vincent from Catherine. When we profiled Baker around this time last year, he shared his love for all things Batman on the back of starring in Arkham City.

"Being a part of Arkham City was just incredible - because I'm a huge Batman fan," Baker told us, "And to play Two-Face and Robin after growing up watching The Animated Series was a banner moment for me."

The news follows apparent confirmation long-time Batman vocalist Kevin Conroy does star in Origins, but how he features remains to be seen. We know Origins deals with Batman's "initiation into that insane world" of the other Arkham games, so perhaps Conroy's role is something retrospective. Even if Conroy doesn't play the dark knight in any sense in Origins, to fans he's still the ******* Batman.

A new enemy type, the martial artist, is able to counter the hero's attacks, but there are counters for counters too.
....
Think of it as connecting the dots: the gargoyle to the gargoyle for an instant tightrope in the rafters; the gargoyle to the goon for a dangling victim; the vase to the goon for a smashing knockout; and the goon to the goon for a head-on collision.

Re: Batman: Arkham Origins

That trailer was amazing! Im so hyped for this game.

No Kevin Conroy for Batman though? Bummer. But I dont get how he is part of the game without being Batman. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Re: Batman: Arkham Origins

I thought Conroy was in...I'm picturing him voicing older bats then he talks about his past then comes in younger voiced bats...

only critique about that trailer is that bats looks a bit old looking....

Re: Batman: Arkham Origins

Conroy was mistaken:

[BlueNGold]

Re: Batman: Arkham Origins

I'll take that to mean Rocksteady is working on a next-gen Arkham game.

Remember that Arkham Universe game they hinted at before?

[Fresh Tendrils]

Re: Batman: Arkham Origins

That's what I'm thinking as well. Kevin Conroy with a JLA cast? God yes.

[deaduck]

Re: Batman: Arkham Origins

Really nice trailer...holds the visual universe of the other games very well.

Am wondering about the narrative of the OTHER Arkham game...because they didn't leave a whole lot of play it forward room.
