Batman: "I know I caught yours." Knight: Alfred: "What are you going to do?" Batam: "I'm going to show him what happens to someone who messes with MY city."

@@FYNFynia His Batman is okay but it's no where even close to Kevin Conroy. No one will ever be as iconic. Plus I am enjoying other actor's take on Batman. Troy Baker on the other hand is complete garbage dude. Not as a voice actor but just as the Joker. I hate his attempt at emulating Mark Hamill because he just doesn't get what Mark Hamill was doing with his Joker. It sounds so annoying because it's so close but just doesn't compare. I'd have preferred if Troy Baker had his own take on the Joker voice instead of this weird emulation of Hamill. It may sound similar but it's not really. It's way off which only makes it more disappointing that he didn't make his Joker voice more original.

@exile8266 3 жыл бұрын
anyone else think that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and Gotham Knights were the same game at one point in time? If WB Montreal was teasing Gotham Knights that early, why would the tagline for a game where Batman is dead be "Capture the Knight"? But perhaps in a game where the hero becomes the villain... "Capture the Knight" is slightly more fitting. Maybe a game where you played as the Bat-Family having to take down a super-powered and/or mind-controlled Bruce? But then the ideas evolved and creative differences between WB and Rocksteady created a rift and split the game into two, with one ending up being about the Bat-Family and the other about taking down Batman, but expanded upon when it was decided to use the Suicide Squad as protagonists? I am still of the opinion that since SS: KTJL is set in the Arkhamverse, and that they retconned Deadshot and to some extent Harley Quinn with this new game, they might bring Batman in as a surprise twist, given that he's supposedly dead.

This one REALLY got me because I was having a lot of trouble with my PC at the time. I would have unplugged my computer to hard-restart it, but there were a few things in the back of my mind which made me wait and see: 1) In the 90's, there was an X-Men game on the Genesis which would "crash" when you got to a certain point, and it would tell you to "re-set the system". Now, you weren't sure what this meant, as the entire game up to that point was a run-away Danger Room simulation. If you took a risk and hit the Genesis' reset button, it didn't ACTUALLY reset the game, but instead showed a bunch of binary code, and then it loaded the final level. A great feat of engineering for the time. So I knew that once in a while, games could play tricks on you (See also Metal Gear Solid, there's a bad guy who reads your save files and makes your controller move). 2) There's just a slight hint of a Joker laugh looping when the game "crashes". 3) and most important, I was too stunned to actually do anything. By the time the jig was up, I wasn't even mad, it was an amazing feeling of relief that the game was still working!

Dear GOD, we all dodged a bullet. EA's Batman would have been filled with grindy repetitive side missions needed to boost your character to an arbitrary level needed to progress the story that in order to avoid all the hassle one would have to purchase XP boosts to speed up the boring process. Either that or they would have implemented something similar to the orc lootboxes in Shadow of War. XD

Arkham Origins is such an underrated game. It’s my favorite in the franchise. The voice actors Roger Craig Smith & Troy Baker giving outstanding performances as younger versions of Batman and Joker. I also loved Harleen’s meeting with the Joker before becoming Harley Quinn. Also Bane’s portrayal being an intelligent badass; this game explaining why he is the way he is in Asylum. And Alfred and Bruce’s relationship, from Bruce being too lone-wolf to coming to respect Alfred as his second father, working together as a team. Not to mention the Deathstroke boss fight, as well as Bane’s and Firefly’s! The overall cinematography (like that News perspective of Batman fighting on the roof being one example…) And the overall story in itself *chef’s kiss* I can go on; so much great stuff in this game. Great job on the video :)

Great retrospective! I love the Arkham games. One of the most influential videogame franchises in recent memory, specially when it comes to the combat. Hate to be that guy, but Arkham Origins actually takes place 8 years before Arkham Asylum not 5. There are some dialoge lines in Arkham Knight that confirm this. Also, about the whole Grapnel Boost continuity error in Origins, the developers obviously didn't want to sacrifice gameplay for continuity's sake, so they decided to put that gadget in the game to make traversing through the city easier. Thankfully, they had the good sense to change its name in Origins to Grapnel Accelerator, so you could technicaly say that its a different gadget altogher (maybe an early and less efficient version of the Grapnel Boost).

It makes me really sad that people want another Arkham game after the amazing ending and wrap up that Arkham Knight had. I wouldn’t want that franchise to become like Assassin’s Creed where they stop running out of ideas for stories and milk it for money. It was a franchise that had a start and finish, and I deeply respect Rocksteady for knowing when their story was done and calling it quits while they were ahead. You don’t see many gaming studios making an official ending for their games like that.

I am also a fan of BTAS but, unlike certain superstitious blind fanboys, I can see past nostalgia. I am a fan of Batman first and a voice actor second. And if I think, a new voice actor is better than Kevin Conroy then I will make my opinion known even if that opinion is at the charging of blind fanboys. Kevin Conroy sounded monotonous in the Arkham games. He interrogated criminals the same way he talked to Alfred and I think Roger Craig Smith is better. Got it??

Alfred is the strongest character in this game. Imagine his whole deal. The two people he loved the most, whom he served nearly his whole life, who he had to take care of, were killed. And then the last person threw himself in front of the same thing that killed them every single night, over and over, in more and more dangerous ways.

29:50 Actually, Jason Todd was confirmed to exist (or existed) in Arkham City. When you play a particular challenge map as Robin, Joker will sometimes say, "Robin!? Didn't I kill you already?" In reference to Death In The Family. For me, the reason the Arkham Knight doesn't work is because it was too obvious it was Jason Todd. I mean, shit they had to create an entire DLC about Red Hood to throw people off, and some people still correctly guessed that Red Hood is the mantle Jason assumes after the conclusion of the game. I do like how Jason is handled within the confines of the story, but the execution was just dreadful.

The writing for joker, batman's relationship with Alfred, Joker's obsession with Batman, Barbara's admiration for Batman, etc. were done better than city and asylum. Bane was a dumb Hulk in city or asylum ( Dini's writing) not in origins. However, rocksteady's gameplay and polish was not there but as far as writing and cinematics go, WB Montreal nailed it. They proved that they can make a competent batman game and can probably even outdo rocksteady in the next game.
