http://www.arkhamverse.com/news/2014/03/rumour-new-game-to-be-titled-batman-arkham-knight-and-to-feature-hush/QuoteAdd these to the spelling mistake (abut/about) and this may just be a fan page taking advantage of the recent buzz around a new Arkham game (who can blame them), that a couple of sites are claiming as official.
Turns out it's Batman: Arkham Knight. Featuring drivable Batmobile!!! And no Hush in sight!!! WHOOOOOOOnot really a fan of the new Batsuit (I'm gonna blame this on New 52 even though it's entirely possible Rocksteady wasn't forced by DC to take design cues from that Batsuit). Also not really a fan of the Batmobile, but hey maybe they'll include alternate models like they do costumes? I wanna drive the Burton Batmobile as BTAS Batman!Also really wish they'd stop using that awful harley Quinn design
What's that Tower in the back with the big W?If it's related to Wayne Enterprises, then that's your hint at Hush right there.
Oh I'm sure Hush will be in there somewhere (to follow up on the Arkham City stuff, I also expect some Azrael stuff). But I'm totally fine with that! Just as long as he isn't the main villain. Or even listed among the major villains. Hehehehehe.
Batman has so many villains they could populate it whole with pratically unknowns.If they do one within the whole city, it would be interesting to see Man BatI kinda sortof would like to see batzarro but I doubt he would be easy for gaming fans to swallow.
I'm just worried about this becoming yet another yearly release assembly line franchise. Asylum and City were both amazing, but I didn't even bother trying Origins because it looked so insanely generic and uninspired. I'd rather see one great game every three or four years than one mediocre cash-in every couple of months.Iced said, March 04, 2014, 06:09:59 pmBatman has so many villains they could populate it whole with pratically unknowns.If they do one within the whole city, it would be interesting to see Man BatI kinda sortof would like to see batzarro but I doubt he would be easy for gaming fans to swallow.I just want the fucking Ventriloquist to actually show up already. They keep dangling Scarface as just an easter egg, let him have his moment already.
This is what Rocksteady has been working on since City, so I think there should be much worry. And it's supposedly the final game in the series...... Assassin's Creed 3
Apparently origins was bad and city was already a step back, so I really hope they get it together with this one.Pretty trailers as usual, but that does not actually amount for anything since it's not even gameplay.

They even saw fit to tinker with the combat and removing key invincibility frames that allowed you to properly bounce around and maneuver as well as making enemies slide around much more frequently to hit you out of combos. It was so bad they lowered the overall combo achievement to 50x.It also had some of the worst side quest out of the entire series and the collectibles were retardly uninspired. I hear Blackgate and its Metroidvania likeness is pretty cool though. Looking forward to playing it later this month.

If it is then that is VERY interesting.

I would lean far more toward annoying and slow. There was far more wrong with it, but I haven't touched it in months and will only go back to see the Mr. Freeze story.
That bad? I pretty much zoned out on the game after I found out they had shoehorned in a team based gun combat multiplayer mode, which in addition to missing the entire point of what anybody actually wants in a Batman game is basically the ultimate trademark of pointless, soulless cash-grab games.

Hard mode NG+ is quite difficult and the boss battles were pretty cool (I actually DIED a few times in some of them). It makes even more sense if you think about it. You're not the Batman from AA or AC, you're a younger and probably weaker version and the fact that every enemy in the game actually represent a threat is quite fun. Heck even the Riddler collectibles made a bit more of sense too, I can't complain.Person Man said, March 04, 2014, 10:07:52 pmThat bad?

What do you expect gang members to do? Use gadgets like Batman? Of course they're going to use guns (And this isn't even the first time we see a FPS Batman game).I actually quite ignored the mode though. I play the game with a controller so I find it more fun to be Batman and takedown the other players. Actually taking down other enemies who are actually controlled by humans is pretty fun but yeah, I do hate playing as the gang members but it's not a terrible mode.
