E3 2013: Go Back in Time With Arkham Origins

HELL FUKIN YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

Do I get to hit people with the Batmobile after tasing them?

Man that Joker. He gets in all my batmans!

skadoosh

New voice cast, development team and dubstep-ish trailer. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

No dubstep weapon? Worthless.

Like the art direction more than the Rocksteady games (so far). The Batman model has a much better design, I think.

^ Oh dear

Troy Baker is Joker, thought they said the Joker wasn't going to be in this.

Batman doesn't drop people to their deaths because they won't talk to him... I'm uneasy about this already.

@phoenix654:

well he dropped him on a tree I'm sure he's fine...

also I'm strangely uninterested in this game

Is the voice actor that plays Black Mask the same one that played him in Under The Red Hood?

It vaguely sounds the same. I'd check... but I'm lazy.

Sorry to be the grammar nazi but "Doing a prequel let's us fight Joker again!"

Should be "lets."

@aiurflux: Nope, it's Nolan North.

haha

haha

My wallet is already crying, the fall is coming.

Looks pretty good but I have mixed feelings about the semi-annualizing of this series. Seems like WB is just trying to dilute the franchise, much like what happened to AC. It's only okay until they make a bad/tired game.

BAMMAN!

Hard to believe that that Joker voice is Troy Baker. Is there anything that man can't do?

And Nolan North is Black Mask :D

Holy crap, I love it when there is a voice of Nolan North and I have to be told it is. Like his parts in Portal 2 or the Penguin.

That's a pretty decent Joker acutally much better than Injustice's the Baker can do anything!

@boom_goes_the_dynamite said:

Have you played Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time? This game showed me that Nolan North can really get outside of his typical "Nathan Drake" voice to the point where he's hardly recognizable. I'll let you guess which character he is in here.

Troy Baker does a pretty great Joker.

Cannot wait for this! Sure it'll be more of the same Batman as the last two, but I love those games enough that more of the same is good enough with me. It's not like there is much they can do the formula without taking away what makes it so awesome!

Pretty sure he got dropped on the tree and only broke both arms, legs, couple of ribs and his jaw.

So is this the one that is also on Vita and 3DS, or is that a totally different project?

Can't wait! Love the new younger voice for Batman

@nezza: One is in the vein of the past two Arkham games but it is a prequel, the Vita and 3DS game are separate (not sure how it fits in story wise) and are 2.5D like Shadow Complex, or even Symphony of the Night.

Finally the origin of Batman!

@dan_citi: Ah, so what I'm hearing is that I'm likely to be buying two Batman games at some point in the future :)

Looks cool. I still need to play the first two Arkham games...

I didn't see the XBox One logo or the PS4 logo. Is this current gen or did I miss something or are thos logos not ready for prime time? Didn't look too next gen, but obviously the Arkham series is the illness so either way...

@phoenix654: I think he killed like three people in this trailer.

Like I said, I'm uneasy about this already. I'm sure the game mechanics carrying over will be the same great fighting I've liked since Asylum, but if you don't get the story right, you've broken Batman.

This looks so amazing. I can't fucking wait.

I'm so hyped!
