You would think with all the Arkham Origins coverage we were excited about the game or something. Good guess.
This new video shows off the work WB Games Montreal put into the motion capture for the game. They did not go full face involving the voice actors rather they did body-only as actors matched up their motions to the voice actors performance. It is an interesting look inside the game that is worth a look.

With all the excitement for [amazon_link id=”B00C7103DO” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Batman: Arkham Origins[/amazon_link] it is easy to forget that there is a handheld version coming out for the 3DS and Vita.
Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate is a 2.5D adventure that will take Batman through Gotham’s maximum security prison during a breakout involving The Joker, Penguin and more. I am getting both games at release and will be interested to see how they connect together story wise as well as if the combat can be transferred over to a handheld.
Look at the new trailer below. [amazon_link id=”B00C7103C0″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate[/amazon_link] releases on October 25th.
The May issue of Game Informer has broken HUGE news on the next Batman game.
Batman: Arkham Origins will see Batman in his early days take on eight of the world’s best assassins (including Deathstroke) as they make their way to Gotham on Christmas Eve to try and eliminate Batman.
The game is being developed by WB Montreal, not Rocksteady, so I understand if that gets some fans worried about if this will be as good as Arkham Asylum or City. I think we don’t have too much to worry about. WB Montreal handled the port of Batman: Arkham City on the Wii U which was received well and the creative director, Eric Holmes, was the lead designer on one of the most fun and addictive open world games ever, [amazon_link id=”B0007OSLAA” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction[/amazon_link].
This will be the first of the Arkham series that takes Batman out into the city of Gotham. And since it will be on Christmas Eve I am hoping that we can get a Max Shrek cameo or at least a picture of Christopher Walken somewhere in the game. I think all games would do good to have one piece of Walken in them.
The game will be coming to PS3, 360, Wii U and PC. A handheld version called Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate will also be releasing for the 3DS and Vita.
Batman: Arkham Origins releases on October 25th. Take a look at the reveal video below thanks to Game Informer.
I can already hear classic Thief fans as they watch this trailer with their cries of “suck it Assassin’s Creed”.
The minute long trailer features protagonist Garrett as he stalks his prey which happens to be a rather expensive looking necklace. I know Thief fans have been more than excited ever since this game was announced, especially with the classic Thief being known for not holding players hands and being a tried and true stealth game. For some reason when I see Garrett’s one green eye at the end of the preview I think there will be some kind of detective mode like in the Arkham games and I already don’t want to hear the bitching of fans when that happens. Just give me a fun game and I don’t care.
Thief releases in 2014 for next generation consoles.
Did WB’s CFO just out the next game in the Batman Arkham series?
During the Warner earnings call CFO John K. Martin let this little bit slip out when discussing the games division:
“And we also have a strong games release this year, which will include the next release in the Batman Arkham franchise.”
About a year ago came word that Rocksteady, developers of the first two Arkham games, were hard at work on another Bat tile that would take place in the Silver Age of Batman lore and possibly have appearances from Justice League members. A lot of reports had pegged the game for a 2014 release date so this may just be a snafu by the Warner chief.
If another Arkham title was coming this fall logic would tell you that we would have seen at least something as simple as a screenshot by now.
