Arkham Asylum guesses

[djmegamike]

So, the newest Arkham Asylum trailer is out. It looks like they are bringing the Joker back as a villain but he seems a bit out of it to say the least. While Joker is my favorite character I was hoping for a new main villain. My guess for what I thought the story would be is Batman trying to solve the Two-Face problem mentioned at the end of the first game. Does anyone else have any opinions, guesses or even know what villains or stories are going to be in the next Batman Asylum?

I guess that it's going to be awesome.

And I also guess that you will fight the Penguin. (or at least fight his goons and then kick his ass in a cutscene)

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

We will see The Riddler, in person.

I don't think that was a sequel hook, that was just them showing that it was still business as usual for Batman. Now then, one of the three bosses reaching the Titam container, that was a sequel hook.

This, but some serious writing is required to make the sequel an original story if Titan is in the fram again.

Personally i would like to see Black Mask make a proper appearance, Mr Freeze could be interesting as a boss if done well too - especially if Titan is involved.

If Mr. Freeze turned titan though he wouldn't he break out of his suit that keeps him alive.

Good point. New one manufactured for him transformed? Agh, i'm just brainstorming randomly

 

[VintageElise]

I'm still surprised they're already working on a sequel to be honest.

Given the Joker's condition, I'm not so sure he'll be the big prevalent baddy. I assume he'll be a puppet master pulling the strings, but you won't get into a direct confrontation with him.

 

[FairlyFrightenedFeline]

I really want them to include The Riddler again. Just him sitting there giving you riddles and you burst in on him or something. Yay.

 

[The_ModeRazor]

What will happen, is Killer Croc + Titan.

Yep, you guessed it, Godzilla eats Gotham.

I'd like to see if he had a batarang or anti-something spray for that.

 

[Arkvoodle]

Maybe some focus on the villains who were only hinted at last time. Like Clayface, or maybe Man-Bat.

 

[Baron Von Evil Satan]

RUN IZ GODZIRRA!!!

OT: You'll actually get to go around Gotham a bit. They might even put in some real boss fights this time too.

since if we had a batcave on Arkham Island, it'd be safe to assume/hope we'll have one in this game:
how about two different batsuits that you have to go to the batcave to change from one to the other, each very different -

A Stealth Suit, low on gadgets, very light and fast to move in, glides further, very quiet when moving about in, low armour, easy to perform large combo's in, easy to disappear when seen.

A Muscle Suit, high on gadgets, heavy and slow to move in, doesnt glide as far, muscle suit therefore hits harder, high armour, difficult to perform bigger combo's.

Making the two as different as possible, but so the player doesnt have to keep going the batcave to change, make sure each one can be used to complete a task ie every situation can be dealt with through speed or muscle, stealth or gadgets... and to do so you have to play very differently for each suit

I'm guessing that Harley Quinn is still sexy.

 

[EliteFreq]

I've spoken about this on a couple of other forums. I'm expecting to see a few other characters that the game left hints towards but obviously we know that The Joker's back in charge with Harley by his side..

I hope that we get choices based of the random flip of a coin. I don't mean choosing which way, i mean it's pretty much random which way in sections we have to go, would make the game much more interesting even if the parts of only partially different. Come to think of it, imagine if at a flip of a coin two face makes you play fisty cuffs with jokers henchmen (in this, i assume two face and joker are at odds) or you are in the stealth situation.

I reckon the other changes will mostly be just small additions to what things can do, and new finishers etc.

I really like the idea of two face and joker kind of fighting for dominance of the area, so you could have three way battles between thugs and lead groups to others. I hate to do this in capitals but UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD BATMAN ALLY HIMSELF WITH ONE OF THEM. Fuck the greater good shite, take them both down

other additions i would like:

More costumes in the challenge mode

A new challenge mode type (i personally can't think of anything good but they are paid to think)

If co-op please not robin

personalisation of finishers, not make them yourself but the choosing which ones make their way into combat. I love being able to edit my character.

Scarecrow screw with the mind stuff, or at least something similar. The fear toxin could make an interesting storyline, i would argue more interesting than the titan one but stick to what has been established.

All in all, so long as they keep the tone and combat of the game similar i will be a happy costumer.

Anti Godzilla spray? Wasn't aware they made that anymore.

OT: Cat woman, perhaps?
