The First Batman: Arkham Knight Gameplay Footage Is Here

Looks awesome!

Ok. I'm in.

So have they been working on this since Arkham City? Played and enjoyed the other two, so this will probably be a get.

GET READY FOR BATMANFALL

I really like the redesign of Batman.

GRAPHICS.

It is interesting the trailer ends with "coming soon" and not the October 14 release date. It has been rumored to have been pushed to 2015.

Welp. Time to buy a PS4.

It's presented all cinematic-y, but Rocksteady's final Batman game looks tremendous.

That there video thing.

I'm not buying it. (No pun intended.)

There should be laws against putting out "gameplay trailers" with no gameplay in them whatsoever.

Really loving the power armorlike Batsuit.

"Be the batman"

Say word?!

Yup, sold. Is Scarecrow the main villain? That would be awesome.

Scarecrow is more like the excuse to why once again the city has no citizens in it :)

Awww shit Batman

Uuuuuuuuuuugh I can barely bring myself to finish Arkham City. I dunno about this one, even with the long awaited batmobile.

@2headedninja said:

I'd be amazed if he wasn't, given the City easter egg suggesting he is. I could see a teamup of him and Arkham Knight happening.

Speaking of, I'm looking forward to seeing more of said Knight. Hopefully they pull the "evil Batman" thing off well.

As a Harly Quinn fan, I'm a little shamed to admit I already had a boner from this trailer before she showed up. Man, this looks good. Although we all know having rain throughout your entire game is cheating since it makes everything look better. Still, looks awesome.

Trailer looks great

But god was the sound design/music/audio underwhelming in this D=

"What are you doing?"
"...Killing mo..." ehem, how long until the Batsuit is straight Iron Man?

I really REALLY hope Robin gets more than just a cameo (loved the DLC for City) and Nightwing also gets a scene or two. This is obviously an all hands on deck finale, and it seems like Babs will be in it more.

I'm batman!

I'm digging the suit and Batmobile design. But would also probably be ok with a Batman '66 unlockable costume and Batmobile skin.

All West, baby.

Fucking can't wait.

looks sick. Definitely pre-order material

Looking forward to another game that isn't being held back by last-gen systems.

Note them not giving a hard date for the game at the end of the video. wouldnt surprise me if this one slips to 2015.

Anyone want to bet that the Arkham Knight is just the Joker? I don't think they can help themselves.

WOW!!! Looks fantastic...can't wait! (but I'd bet money it's early 2015)

I am down to Batman.

This game is pretty high on my anticipation radar. Looks great.

New Batman means new GPU.

Pretty sure he's Azreal. They set up this game's narrative in Arkham city through one of the side quests.

Although, I wouldn't be surprised if they brought back Joker in some capacity. I hope they don't though.

It's not like they'll be doing another one any time soon. Like you're not going to see another Rocksteady Batman for another several years. The studio's upcoming plans put them out of the loop for doing another Batman for quite awhile.

The idea of "I told you it would't be their last Batman game" when it's 2023 isn't really going to matter or hold any sort of weight.

There is gameplay footage in the trailer, there's just no HUD.

For instance the footage of the Batmobile is circling the tunnel is gameplay footage.

Most gameplay trailers are HUDless, for (what I would think are) obvious reasons. Don't see what the problem is.

If they do anything with the Joker it'll probably be a post credits thing. That's them not being able to help themselves.

It's easy for them to stick to their guns on not bringing the Joker back when it's only a 3 part story.Plus Rocksteady is smart enough to realize that WB Montreal or whoever is just going to bring back the Joker anyway in the next game. That's why they won't bring him back, outside a cameo/tease.

Batman

I don't think that's a pun it's more of a double entendre.

system reqs, please.

It would be awesome if they got Azrael in this one- since I don't think they'll ever do a movie about him.

The coolest Batman to briefly take Bruce's place while he was out due to the whole Bane thing, and he's insane.

I didn't see any "gameplay" but the cinematics look cool. Can't wait =)

They went out of their way to show that Joker is fucking dead-dead. I bet it's either Hush or Azrael, considering the obvious sequel hooks with them in Arkham City.

Arkham Origins definitely soured me a little on this franchise but I will totally fucking play this.

That silencer doesn't work very well.

Great trailer.

@mrfluke: I thought that was a bit strange too. Didn't they initially say October?

"Be the ironman" :(

"Coming Soon"

Yup, they're delaying this game.

Most gameplay trailers are not really gameplay trailers. That's my point. This is a gameplay trailer.

Looks pretty rad.

It's a bummer that Arleen Sorkin stopped doing the voice of Harley right around the time she actually started to get a showing in games, with a much bigger role in Arkham City, then being a playable character in Injustice and now this. I'm assuming it'll be Tara Strong again and she's fine, but she's basically just doing an Arleen Sorkin impression. It's not really the same. :(

Sorry but Azreal was super lame, and Dickbat is better than Brucebat.

@xite: That's actually what real suppressors sound like. Don't believe James Bond movies.

So it's "coming soon" now. The first trailer had "coming 2014". Maybe the delay rumors are true.

I don't mind waiting as long as they do it right.
