Batman: Arkham Origins

Warner Bros. Games Montreal has taken the mantle of the bat from Rocksteady Studios this time around for Batman: Arkham Origins. WB Montreal has full access to Rocksteady's custom modified Unreal engine to capture the look and feel of the Arkhamverse. As the title suggests, the game takes place years before both of the previous Arkham titles when a young, unrefined Batman encounters many supervillains for the first time. On our full cover image below, fans will recognize the assassin Deathstroke, who appears for the very first time in a core Arkham game.
Heading up the vision for Arkham Origins is creative director Eric Holmes, known for being the lead designer of open world action hits The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction and Prototype. A self-professed lover of comics, Holmes even wrote the miniseries Transformers: Megatron Origin for IDW.
Gamers won't have to wait long to experience Batman's lastest adventure. Batman: Arkham Origins releases October 25, 2013 on Wii U, Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

But that's not all. We also have a feature on the first handheld Arkham game, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate. Releasing on 3DS and Vita the same day as the home console version, Blackgate is a completely separate experience that takes place after the events of Arkham Origins. Armature Studio is developing the 2.5-D Metroid-style exploration action game. Industry followers will recognize Armature Studio as the company founded by several of the leads from the Metroid Prime trilogy.
Watch our coverage trailer below to get a taste of all the Batman content headed your way over the next several weeks.

Want want want want...

DaveBrawl 04-09-2013 03:42 PM

Me too.

The Destroyer 04-09-2013 03:45 PM

I'm not hopeful - change in devs, no involvement from Paul Dini on the story front - let's hope they're not changes for the worse.

Doesn't look like the Silver Age set title that was being talked about a while ago though, which could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you feel.

Storyline synopis seems to be this: "Eight of the best assassins in the world have come to Gotham City for one night, Christmas Eve of all nights, to kill the Bat."

Exactly. Why are people getting hype when the names that made the last games good aren't involved.

Stop it with falling for a brand it's the name's involved that's important. These guys have to earn your love. Consider this a new series and make them impress you.

VSG 04-09-2013 04:08 PM

Will definitely wait till Christmas (and possible Steam sale) for reviews but I remain optimistic.

Kalyx triaD 04-09-2013 04:18 PM

Over what, exactly? Switching devs and brand spin-offs (often called 'whoring out' but I don't think that's bad by default) is usually when you should be critical until playthroughs are seen and demos are played.

VSG 04-09-2013 04:46 PM

Over that the new devs are quite aware of the legacy of the first 2 games and they realize they better not fuck up.

Again, I am optimistic for the game but will be waiting to see how this is when it actually comes out.

Fignuts 04-09-2013 05:17 PM

Kalyx, maybe some people just aren't gloomy gusses, and would rather hope for the best.

Kalyx triaD 04-09-2013 06:11 PM

How'd that work out this gen overall?

I'd say for the HD whatever, this was a poor gen for gameplay. A lot of opportunities were missed or mishandled.

I'm more hopeful on certain aspects, but you gotta vet that shit.

Juan 04-09-2013 06:48 PM

I just finished Arkham City last night, so I am pumped for this. Shut up, Kalyx.

Kalyx triaD 04-09-2013 06:54 PM

That game you enjoyed? The guys who made it?

Not making this one, genius. Or did you like looking at the familiar title screen and calling it a day?

Ruien 04-09-2013 07:41 PM

Kalyx is right and wrong. No reason to not be pumped but do not go and buy them game before you see a little of a playthrough or read some reviews.

Ace 04-09-2013 07:42 PM

I know how to read, chump stain.

Kalyx triaD 04-09-2013 10:12 PM

Apply that.

Juan 04-09-2013 10:24 PM

No. This is exactly why GameFly was created. Shut up, Kalyx.

Juan 04-09-2013 10:24 PM

If it sucks I can just put it back in its envelope and move on. No harm, no foul.

Kalyx triaD 04-09-2013 10:31 PM

Then we got nothing to talk about.

Raven Reaper 04-09-2013 11:23 PM

I love the Arkham series and they have yet to disappoint me... *dusts off the bat hook*

Kalyx triaD 04-09-2013 11:24 PM

Rocksteady hasn't disappointed you, but they're not doing this game. The title doesn't make the game.

Disturbed316 04-09-2013 11:27 PM

Awesome news, but will be cautious about it after the developer change. Saying that, Hulk: Ultimate Destruction was pretty great.

dronepool 04-09-2013 11:29 PM

No Rocksteady? I'll wait and see.

Skippord 04-10-2013 01:53 AM

Pretty exciting, based on the story idea that seems cool and also pictures of two of my favorite villains.

I included reasons so I wouldn't get slapped down by the fun police.

Skippord 04-10-2013 01:57 AM

and they added fast travel so it won't take me 13 goddamn months to find Mr. Freeze

Kalyx triaD 04-10-2013 02:04 AM

I'll be watching you.

VSG 04-10-2013 08:16 AM

I think you just stole the title of major party pooper from Droford now.

DaveBrawl 04-10-2013 08:41 AM

Droford had been resting on his laurels for too long now anyway. He needs someone to force him to up his game.

The Jayman 04-10-2013 09:26 AM

I don't care what the Nerd Patrol has to say, I'm excited.

DaveBrawl 04-10-2013 11:04 AM

As am I. I'll just book a ticket to Montreal to burn their building to the ground if it's awful. No big deal.

The Jayman 04-10-2013 12:24 PM

just another day at Bad Dudes Inc.

DaveBrawl 04-10-2013 01:08 PM

That's right. Your move WB Montreal.

whiteyford 04-10-2013 01:34 PM

A terrible game featuring Batman is still a Batman game.

The Jayman 04-10-2013 01:51 PM

Adam West as Batman would make this game a best seller

whiteyford 04-10-2013 02:03 PM

You shut your filthy whore mouth.

The Jayman 04-10-2013 02:05 PM

Listen here you festering pile of rubbish, Adam West is a GOD!

whiteyford 04-10-2013 02:11 PM

And once the Bad Dudes were feared, not pitied.

Skippord 04-10-2013 02:13 PM

Adam West sucks and I'm glad he's dead.

The Jayman 04-10-2013 02:15 PM

Skippord forgetting to log back into his whiteyford account

DaveBrawl 04-10-2013 02:16 PM

Can someone pull the knife out of my back that Skippord has lodged in there?

The Jayman 04-10-2013 02:17 PM

I got your back

whiteyford 04-10-2013 02:17 PM

Which one of us is the sock?

DaveBrawl 04-10-2013 02:17 PM

I mean I expect that nonsense from a manchild like whiteyford, but it's quite the blow from such a revered colleague as Skippord.

The Jayman 04-10-2013 02:18 PM

I'll give you 1 hint: It's not Skippord

whiteyford 04-10-2013 02:19 PM

Et Tu Jayman

The Jayman 04-10-2013 02:20 PM

Et tu you too buddy

Skippord 04-10-2013 02:26 PM

I actually like Adam West, but not as Batman

was really hoping someone would've been like "but he isn't dead" so I could've been like "isn't he?"

whiteyford 04-10-2013 02:27 PM

He is though.

The Rogerer 04-10-2013 05:06 PM

Let the franchise begin!

Corporate CockSnogger 04-11-2013 08:39 PM

You guys, how great would a Batman game be if it was basically like the Arkham games but with Adam Wests Batman? Give it brighter colours and KAPOW popping up in the screen and with Adam West voicing Batman and a whole bunch of puns getting used and campy villains and The Joker with a moustache under his white face paint.

Would buy that in a heartbeat.

whiteyford 04-11-2013 08:41 PM

Fucking hate you so much right now.

Kalyx triaD 04-11-2013 08:51 PM

Adam West Bats wasn't terribly stealthy so I imagine a game for him being more of a beat-em-up with some timed puzzle solving for the ever present traps.

The Jayman 04-11-2013 09:18 PM

whiteyford would buy it on launch

And by timed puzzle solving, you're referring to running to a checkpoint carrying the oversized ACME bomb over his head before it explodes?

dronepool 04-12-2013 12:20 AM

Adam West Batman is more Brave & The Bold style.

I was thinking minigames to escape a platform lowering into acid or something. Don't know how you got the bomb thing in your head.

Throw something like that in there, though, and that fucking shark.

Corporate CockSnogger 04-12-2013 03:02 AM

It could be level based with the end of each level ending in a cliffhanger, only for it to be easily resolved at the beginning of the next level. So much potential.

Skippord 04-12-2013 03:25 AM

We're fighting now Iginfest

:'(

Corporate CockSnogger 04-12-2013 03:57 AM

With huge KABLAM logos after every blow dealt?

At the end of each level we hear "Same Bat Time! Same Bat Channel!"

Corporate CockSnogger 04-12-2013 08:09 AM

Adam West Batman is so much more fun than any other Batman. Can't believe this game hasn't already been made.

Corporate CockSnogger 04-12-2013 08:10 AM

I can only assume those game making guys don't like the idea of making money.

whiteyford 04-12-2013 08:17 AM

Wish owenbrown had banned you now.

The Jayman 04-12-2013 08:19 AM

I'm guessing it's due to the fact that most of male gamers like the darker, grittier games as opposed to the bright and colorful world of Adam West's Gotham

The Jayman 04-12-2013 08:20 AM

whiteyford with his negativity

whiteyford 04-12-2013 08:26 AM

Adam West is not the Batman :'(

DaveBrawl 04-12-2013 08:26 AM

That sounds like such an amazing idea.

Whiteyford doesn't recognize genius when it's hipthrusting in his face apparently.

Corporate CockSnogger 04-12-2013 08:26 AM

Most gamers are brooding nerds and need to get some sunshine in their lives.

The Jayman 04-12-2013 08:27 AM

whiteyford, it's ok to accept Adam West as your Lord and Batman

whiteyford 04-12-2013 08:32 AM

You three...I can't express how wrong you are, Adam West is below Clooney in the list of awesomest Batmans.

DaveBrawl 04-12-2013 08:37 AM

That's just too far, lets not say things we can't take back.

Corporate CockSnogger 04-12-2013 08:41 AM

I don't even class any of the other Batmen as canon. Just cheap, re-imagined imitations.

The Jayman 04-12-2013 08:42 AM

whiteyford clearly expressed how wrong he is

whiteyford 04-12-2013 08:46 AM

I need to form a stable to wipe the three of you from this place, gonna find out Heisenbergs feelings on Batman and finish it in one swift blow.

whiteyford 04-12-2013 08:46 AM

I mean c'mon, bat shark repellent?

The Jayman 04-12-2013 08:52 AM

it works

The Batman/Scooby Doo crossover was a marvellous moment in Television history.

But what if he's on our side? Are you prepared to deal with that?

whiteyford 04-12-2013 09:28 AM

Okay, I might have been a tad overreacty.

whiteyford 04-12-2013 09:29 AM

I will have to brace the Heisenberg situation delicately.

The Jayman 04-12-2013 09:54 AM

Heisenberg seems like he is a Bad Dude

DaveBrawl 04-12-2013 10:14 AM

I'm pretty sure he is the prototype for Bad Dude's. Like we distilled the essesence of all of the greats into a vat and out of that rose Heisenberg.

The Jayman 04-12-2013 10:19 AM

Plus his love for Seagal was our bonding moment

DaveBrawl 04-12-2013 10:35 AM

It was a bonding moment for all.

DaveBrawl 04-12-2013 10:35 AM

Except whiteyford who I'm sure hates Seagal like all things good.

The Jayman 04-12-2013 10:47 AM

whiteyford hates Indiana Jones

DaveBrawl 04-12-2013 10:50 AM

And Indiana Evans

whiteyford 04-12-2013 11:01 AM

Woah woah woah, nobody hates Indy, you're just being mean now.

The Jayman 04-12-2013 11:04 AM

whiteyford said George Clooney would make a better Indy

whiteyford 04-12-2013 11:05 AM

Ryan Gosling maybe.

DaveBrawl 04-12-2013 11:06 AM

John Cusack.

whiteyford 04-12-2013 11:07 AM

John Cusack could play anything and it would be fantastic #fuckyouskippord

Ultra Mantis 04-12-2013 11:15 AM

I own a Seagal t-shirt but I'm willing to join team Whiteyford if I get to be the dragon in his sinister Adam West's batman hating syndicate.

whiteyford 04-12-2013 11:17 AM

You're in.

Ultra Mantis 04-12-2013 11:20 AM

Ok, so which one of these guys do I kill to send a message that we're a bit serious? Personally I feel it needs to be somebody lovable but not vital in any way to the plot.

DaveBrawl 04-12-2013 11:21 AM

What is this nonsense Ultra Mantis? I guess you are the enemy of cuisine and quality.
