Batman: Arkham City Thread
The trailer was shown today at the Spike VGAs. Looks pretty cool, although I'm surprised they are using the Joker again. Here is the website which will have the trailer soon:

This is the game I'm most excited for next year.

I didn't expect this so soon! It's already the only game I need for next year, oh man I can't wait.

Want this game now!
While it's cool we're getting a sequel this quick, I agree that it may turn out to be a quick cash grab. I was thinking more like 2011 for this game.

Let's just hope that they do a better job with the conclusion, because that was the only thing lacking from an otherwise brilliant and deep license game.

I can't see this for next year either. Though, there are a few huge games with 2 year development cycles (Assassin's Creed, Gears of War 2), so 1 year isn't that crazy. Especially if they use a lot of the same assets and such.
I'm not even gonna front. This game could be half as good as the first, and that still would be awesome for me. I think Joker is in the trailer, but I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't end up being the major villain in this. This is just a teaser after all.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum Sequel
and both of the games you mentioned were actually better than the first...but there also was a few that thought they were not different enough, or should have been dlc.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum Sequel
It looks like they are moving the game into Gotham, which could potentially remove some of that Metroid "trapped but opening new areas" feel that I loved so much about the first.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum Sequel
I hope it's good, but moving it into Gotham should make the game larger and more epic than the last one, and I worry they won't be able to pull it all off in time if they're planning to release it in 2010.

The original site has updated now and has the video directly on the billboard sign. After that there is a short animation sequence that shows where the Joker is seated with the IV.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum Sequel
I can't imagine the type of pressure the developers and writers of this game are under. I mean, Arkham Asylum was such a good game and received so much widespread praise and acclaim, and you just know that people are going to be looking for anything to say they failed and that it didn't match the success of the original. I think branching out into Gotham City is a good first step.
I'd also really like to see them branch out and include characters they only alluded to in the previous game. Based on things included in that trailer it seems a safe bet we'll see Penguin and Two-Face involved i nsoem way or another. It'd also be great to see Mr. Freeze, Clayface, Deadshot, Black Mask, Great White Shark, and Catwoman. I think it's also be cool to see some gameplay as Bruce Wayne and have Hush mess with him during that time when he is sans Batsuit.

I guarantee the gaming intelligencia that loved Batman: AA is going to rip the sequel apart. If it's anything like AA, it's going to get dinged for not innovating enough or for going over the same ground again. I say fuck them, and just give me more of that Batman goodness. It's worked for Zelda, it's worked for the 3d Metroids, and it can work with Batman.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum Sequel
Yeah, I agree with you. There is room for improvement, but they don't need to go and re-invent the wheel. Refinement is what's called for here, not overhaul. Give me a few more combos, a few new gadgets, some new locations, and some new villains to fuck up and I'm happy. But yeah, the Bane-like fights can sit the sequel out.
