Xbob42 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 ...why not make a new franchise? Why not continue the old one? What is the point of "soft rebooting" an existing, very specific franchise? There's a lot more to Batman than what this franchise gave us. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclyp Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I lost interest after Asylum so this is not good news to receive my dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so burned out on Batman and the same five villains he fights every single time, I couldn't care less about anything concerning him... but.... If they did a "soft reboot" of Batman and it was in the style of Adam West in the 60's in all of its cheesy glory, I'd be all over it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I just want to know if somehow they will implement the Nemesis system into this new Batman title? Would be pretty cool where you start off as Batman, you go through part of an investigation, going into the bowels of Gotham only to be trapped for days on end in the Court of Owl's maze. At this point, you get to play as the other members of the Bat-fam (Nightwing, Damian, Jason Todd, Batgirl, Tim Drake) going on other missions while running into different assassins from the Court that, because they cannot die, just level up and seek you out with individual Owls going against the different Bat family members by the end! Also, if they could somehow incorporate and translate Batman's twisting psychosis in the maze like that of Snyder/Capullo's issue wherein you had to physically turn the entire book to coincide with story telling and manifesting the insanity of it all would really be cool!

Have you ever played Batman: The Brave and the Bold for Wii or DS? You might dig it. It doesn’t have any of the gritty “realism” of the Arkham games. BUT! If you ever wanted to play a game where you can have Aquaman riding on the back of a gorilla version of Batman, who is himself riding on the back of a giant sperm whale...this game might be for you.

Xbob42 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I just want a VR game where I play as Alfred keeping the Batcave clean, polishing the Batmobile, making some oatmeal for Bruce's breakfast, etc. Oh man, doing a firmware update on the Batcomputer.

projectmayhem Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I hope they give the combat a good overhaul. I was just about done with it near the end of Arkham City. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have like a strong attachment to the Beyond series and honestly couldn't tell you a thing about it, but I think the design would look really cool in a video game, and it would be different enough for me to give it a chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdeaOfEvil Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I want more boss puzzles, and WB has at least gone in that direction with Origins and their DLC content. Rocksteady's problem is that they treat everyone kinda the same in that you can single shot them with a punch or a kick, and that's been pretty boring, imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime, someone has been able to download the following teaser image, which you can download too by heading to this site and typing in 761. It looks like new codes will be required each day this week ahead of DC FanDome. https://schedule.dcfandome.com This Saturday is probably when they will show the trailer.

gamer.tv Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I’ve enjoyed all the Batman games, but I don’t have any particularly amazing memories of playing, bar my first run through of Arkham Asylum. I’m open to more Batman, but it needs to be a far cry from Arkham Knight do me to actively want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Since Arkham Knight essentially wrapped up THAT Batman's story, I wouldn't be mad at a reboot. I think they should definitely play up more of Batmans investigative skills beyond just turning on x-ray vis... I mean "detective mode". Let's have Batman have some dialogue trees where questioning can lead to different outcomes. Also let's implement the nemesis system in this in some form. Bat man games would be PERFECT for this shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury33 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Yeah I’m completely all set with them doing another Batman game. Loved the first one and then got progressively more bored with each one after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
