So am I only only one who watched this and thought "Gee I hope that is playable in the game." Arkham asylum/city didn't pull that bullshit of fights that could be easily playable being cut scenes.

I don't care. I don't care if they called him Slade... how the hell is Ron Perlman not the voice of Deathstroke?
Same here! I was always surprised that he was never brought in to do Slade/Deathstroke in a bunch of other games where he has appeared. Thought Ron Perlman did a really excellent job; made Slade really sinister sounding in the Teen Titans cartoon. I mean, they got Cyborg's voice actor for Injustice...ObsidianJones said:
OT: Having Troy Baker do Joker sounds really interesting. I don't think that's the type of character he usually does (and its also pretty funny, considering he did Batman in Lego Batman 2). Wonder how he will do the Joker. The other Joker voices out there are pretty good, so not having Mark Hamill here isn't too big of an issue. Roger Craig Smith as Batman? Guess we'll see how he does.
Having more Detective stuff to do sounds nice. I was never actively looking for puzzles to do in the Arkham games (besides Riddler stuff and whatnot), but it could be cool. Guess we'll see it in action at E3 or something.
I get that, but it just seems a little over-the-top (and not in that "It's supposed to be O.T.T." way).Red X said:
It's like they saw the Nolan Batman and thought "Not enough metal..."

I don't mind it either, looks somewhere between his new 52 design and the one in Injustice. I prefer it over the other one Asylum/City, but for a first outfit it does look incredibly...well designed, I know Bruce Wayne is rich, but I would've thought his first Batsuit would be a bit less high tech looking. But then I guess it could be construed that he hasn't invented the crazy nano fabric stuff that he has in Asylum yet.Caffeine_Bombed said:
I still prefer this new one though. But I think that's because I've never liked the pants and they've taken them ALL away with the new 52. No underwear for superheroes anymore!
This also seems odd as having the title "origins", I mean Black Mask, a BIG crime lord is sending 8 of the best assassins after him, he must've been doing some crazy ass shit for a while to garner that sort of attention.
I got the impression he would perhaps be narrating it, as if telling a tale of when his younger self had a hard with these assassins time or something.Sanaje said:
Troy Baker has an impressive list of roles, so I look forward to his Joker, there have been a few that have got it right other then Mark Hammill, the guy playing him in Injustice is okay and the fellow who playing him in the DC animated flick, Under the Red Hood.
And I got no problem with the guy who voiced Ezio from the Assassins Creed games playing Batman, I think he deserves a chance. After all, Mr Conroy and Hammill won't be around forever and folks like these are the ones who could end up being good enough to inherit the mantle of these characters.
Question if you don't mind? I was a bit disappointed to see a hands on article and then the video was nothing but cut scene (Not your fault I'm sure), obviously you weren't given any material for the game play to show or something, why is that when you can show work to back up "This is a good game!" why wouldn't they let you guys do that?Susan Arendt said:
When in doubt, Troy Baker. I'm looking forward to playing as Deathstroke. It took me until Injustice to realize that he was Slade, which makes him 10 times as awesome.
"Aww, I was hoping for a trailer with actual gameplay. Oh well, let's see.... Hmm, I wonder if you'll be able to burst through the floorboards like that in the actual game? That'd be cool. Hold on, why does Batman's suit look more armored and futuristic than ever if this is a Silver Age story? And the original one flat-out looks better anyway. Lame. But whatever, check out that Deathstroke fight. I know I shouldn't be speculating based on evidence from a prerendered trailer, but what if the actual boss fight will be like this - just a lengthy, intense melee battle. With the right design and tweaks to the existing combat system, I could see that standing a chance of dethroning Arkham City's Mr. Freeze fight. Wait a sec, why did Deadshot shoot Deathstroke's sword instead of just shooting Batm - whoa, did he really just drop a shipping crate on him? Oh, hey, check out Black Mask. Wow, he's actually pretty menacing; I think I could go for him as the primary antagonist under the right circumstances. You know, shallow hype-building though it may be, I can't help but get a good feeling from what's on display in this trai-"
.....Ugh.
These are the complaints so far? No-one is questioning how the cryptographic sequencer, is touted as 'new', when it was in the OTHER games? I know this is a prequel, but c'mon!
Actually he does loose teeth, we just don't see them missing from one scene to the next, I believe he has some sort of bat-teeth-builder implanted o.oUltratwinkie said:
Anyway, I thought the same thing when I read the article, about the non-kill approach, however, I did play a Conan game where the classic Cimmerian used magic (!!!), and the game was awesome nonetheless (awful graphics though), so I can take Bats killing people or "not killing" (by blowing them up...) any day as long as I get to taste more of the usual bat fun
ANNNND it seems we will get to track down Deadshot's shot! AGAIN... hahah
I like the suit design (though it doesn't make that much sense in context) but I hate the chunky, stubby Gears of War-ish proportions they gave him.
Also I'm slightly annoyed that they're shunning any kind of gameplay footage in favour of pre-rendered sequences that play-out like the typical daydreamt movie scene arrangement within the mind of any Batman fan. Why show me thoughtless, context/subtext-free action when the thing I'm fundamentally interested in seeing is if you can make a game that lives up to the ones by Rocksteady?

So the kind of footage you're referring to is "direct feed," and it's not always allowed. Sometimes it's because the build we're playing isn't quite finished, and the devs simply don't want footage of wonky Batman ending up on YouTube as "proof" that the game sucks. Sometimes it's simple PR - they want to reveal gameplay footage on their marketing schedule, not our deadline.chozo_hybrid said:
