No PS3 or 360 version? One of the first 3rd party games exclusive to the new gen consoles?

I haven't gotten to Origins yet. Is it worth playing? I loved the last two Arkhams and this new one looks to pick up where B:AC left off so I'm probably on board. Does Origins expand any story from the previous games or anything?

Perfect time to do an "Arkham reveal steam sale" of the Arkham titles so I can pick up Origins on the cheap.

I know it might be a buggy experience, hence the waiting for a sale.

@joshwent: Never said I was "PUMPED" exactly, just implying that I've gone just long enough not having played a Batman game to want to play another Batman game.

I skipped Origins as well, but I'm pretty interested in this on account that it's current gen only. This game could end up gorgeous with them focusing on using all the new tech

also, batmobile

That was a nice little animated short. I wish it had told us some more about the actual game, though, other than Batman fights some dudes and there are Batman villains in it.

Is this the game where they reveal that each Rocksteady game starred a different Batman, and then those three Batmans team up?

Do we really need to keep "Arkham" in the title anymore? It's not enough anymore that it's a Batman game made by Rocksteady? It has to be an Arkham game? Oh well, I wait for game play to be shown.

I love all of the Arkham games, so this is still pretty exciting to me, but I just can't understand people (Alex included, apparently) who dismissed Origins as more of the same, and yet are pumped by this, which looks like more of the same... with a car.
