God, I miss Kevin Conroy so much. He was perfect. I got a voice acting background and have to say that his voice has been such an inspiration for me since the Batman the Animated Series. The vocal training was really tough, sometimes without noticeable results for months but actors like him are a great impulse to not give up. You almost saw me as Leon in those new RE games :) Great video.
They already sealed this game's fate when they declared Suicide Squad to be canon to the Arkham verse. There's no point being invested in Arkham Shadow when we already know how Batman dies.
Except he isn't dead. None of the JL members die in Suicide Squad. Some people datamined the game a while back and discovered the JL that we kill in the game are clones, and that the real ones are prisioners in Brainiac's ship. Batman will return in the game's 4th and final season, still voiced by Kevin Conroy.
The Arkham games not only got me more into gaming. But it also got me more obsessed with comics and Batman himself. I wouldn’t be who I am if it weren’t for these games. I always go back to them every year
Best case is that this VR game is actually an "in-between" release to hold people over until "the real one" comes out. Of course there's absolutely no reason to believe this... But I imagine we'll get another full-scale Arkham at some point in time, question is how long that will take Arkham Knight and even Gotham Knights already gave us an open world Gotham, there's only so many times you can keep that fresh. So I'd want the next installment to shake things up with a futuristic Gotham. Batman Beyond isn't my favorite setting, but it'd certainly be a breath of fresh air
True, but This is a “Full-Scale” Arkham-Game. It’s about the Length of and Scope Arkham Asylum. “Full-Scale” isn't the right term there. Just Flat-Screen or Console Game I guess.
What really pisses me off is that none of these project even NEED the Arkhamverse branding to work. Its BATMAN, one of the biggest franchises of all time. One that is known for constantly reinvent itself in different versions. You could have set Suicide Squad and Shadow in different universes and itd still sell cause it still batman and batman adjacent experiences. The fact they need to drag the arkhamverse into the mud just cause they are so scared of something jot as safe that they cling to the arkham brand as if somehow its prestige will just magically safeguard then if they screw it up. Didnt work with SS not gonna work with Shadow. WB think the only thing that matters is the BRAND. As long as you put or mention an Arkhverse in there they think itll just sell cause they forget a brand is MADE by the efforts of the people. Without them a brand is just a title. Yet they keep thinking the brand holds all the power
On top of what the second comment said, WB didn’t come up with this game. The developers pitched it, and WB loved it. So this isn’t another Suicide Squad situation. I love shitting on companies as much as the next guy when it’s deserved but ngl some of y’all gotta do research before spouting out stuff like this
As a VR enthusiast, it breaks my heart whenever a studio is going to go for a VR game and everyone in the general gaming space is all "It's just VR, who cares." But I totally understand why THIS is a bit of an odd choice for this point in the overall franchise.
A VR game just speaks to such a small niche audience from the get go. Its a very strange choice to continue such a massively beloved franchise in this way. With suicide squad WB already alienated and insulted the arkham fanbase and this announcement, where a huge amount of people are just excluded automatically is really not helping in any way of keeping the arkhamverse alive. People will just continue to replay the good, old quadrology of arkhamgames and be happy with the greatness we had
And all I want is a Good Superman game(Why does DC hate any character they own other than Batman) That plus give me a good Flash Game A Good Green Lantern Game A Good Aquaman Game A Martian Manhunter Game A Plastic Man Game Ect................ (For fuck's sake DC, Try having some faith in other characters that aren't Batmna)
Batman Arkham Shadow could be good but it was very poor timing imo. After both Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad being poorly recieved, announcing that the next installment in the franchise is going to be a VR game exlusive to one specific headset just feels like tearing a wound wide open and filling it with salt.
I don't blame you Pup, the Arkham games truly was the best Superhero game franchise ever. It's sad to see a beloved series being dragged out like other franchises like Cod or Assassin's Creed.
I do like seeing less known Batman villains get a chance to shine and have fun new looks in different media. RatCatcher is one I’m glad is getting more attention. His design is cool. That’s why I’m excited to see James Gunn do his thing and giving lesser known hero’s and villains the attention they deserve. Because remember when KGBeast appeared in BvS ya how would you know he looks nothing or had anything that can define him as KGBeast. He isn’t missing an arm or wears his colours. Even KGBeast a very minor villain can’t even have his signature colours or anything to give him a chance to be the character. I know some might say “Bloodsport doesn’t have his signature costume in The Suicide Squad” and yes you’re right but at least it’s a costume and really cool costume for that matter.
I am still sad and depressed that the Arkham series had to end with the terrible awful suicide squad kill the justice league which was such an awful game in my opinion.
Thank you, you are speaking out about the feeling I have experienced. I love Batman as a hero, I grew up with Batman, and seeing him like this hurts me. I want to see Batman as his best, I want to play Wonder Woman but as she was met to be depicted, I want to play Superman as he was met to be depicted, not what we got in that trash game.
I feel like with origins they could split the universe in two and have to timelines. Let the original Arkham rest in peace and have a new era of Arkham. I’d love origins 2 it has a great art style and the Batman and Joker were great.
The first console I ever bought with my own money (maybe the first major purchase I ever made myself) was the Sega Dreamcast so I could get that sweet Adventure 1 & 2 duology. No regretti.
2 years ago I did my own coverage on the Arkham games and said in the Origins review that they(WB Montreal) could/should have made a Dark Victory like sequel to it to as a proper Robin and Batgirl origin story to set them up for the "main trilogy". But then I also acknowledged that the Arkham series suffered from the pacing issue that made every game be set in during one night each, which would have made it hard to stuff all of it into just that one game set during one night.
Hey man, just clicked on your video on the random lol but if you’re familiar with Gotham Paladin I’d go watch his interview he did with the game director man. It’ll clear up a lot of your concerns like it did for me. Still not gonna play it due to the fact that I don’t have anything VR, BUT it’s not what you think it is I believe
On one hand, the trailer for Arkham Shadow is really good. I really like the noir aesthetic and that the game will be showing characters like Harvey Dent and Harleen Quinzel before they became super villains. The best part is Roger's narration because man, he really knocks it out of the park. If there's anyone I trust to carry on the bat cape and cowl after Kevin's passing, it's definitely Roger Craig Smith. The game itself may even be good and it's made by a company who already proved themselves with Iron Man VR. However no matter what the game will be like, it's disgraceful that it's an Oculus exclusive. It's no issue for me since I've been using Oculus for 4 years and a half now, but it leaves out a lot of players since VR games in general already have a limited fanbase. Console exclusivity in VR just makes it worse, even more so than a regular console exclusive game. ….But hey, I still have no doubt the game will be better than the nightmare we got with Kill The Justice League.
@@Moonking_Is_Back In that case, I think it would've been if multiple companies like Sony or whomever had a hand in funding the game. That way it can be available on multiple VR headsets.
i think what a lot of people don’t get is, arkham shadow is being funded by meta, this wouldn’t have been like a console arkham game, there were never plans to make this a console arkham game, this is a game being made for the quest because meta funded it
On one hand, I get that. Same thing happened with Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 being a Nintendo exclusive due to funding. On the other, I don’t have VR, nor do I have the ability or interest to get a system. So this is quite a bummer for me.
I never played the Arkham Games but I followed them religiously in Cutscenes, I love Asylum, City, and Origins, I have so many disagreements with Knights but then SSKTJL Happened and it felt like you were living in that one Sad Scene of Old Yeller while Celebrating that Happy Funeral from Wakanda Forever like it was Mocking the Dead, I’m Curious to see what Shadows lines Ahead but other than that Rebooting the Arkhamverse is the Only Sane Choice.
I dont really like the arkham games find them boring to play but I enjoy watching fans talk about it because I understand why people love it but I just cant get into it myself
Agreed all the have to do is Origins sequals that are easily able to get and play. Though for the Arkham Shadow been watching several interviews that makes it look like it will be a good game the only downside being meta 3 exclusive.
I haven't seen gameplay or pics of Arkham shadows. As a Quest 2 owner hoping to get a Quest 3 I hope the ganeplay is as vast and expansive as Wrath II. Wrath II people desceibed as Breath of the Wild on VR. Top rated VR game on the store
I truly do believe Batman Arkham Legacy could have been a fantastic Batman Arkham game heavily inspired by Batman Beyond. As for Suicide Squad... I feel there were so many different ways to improve its story, gameplay, and overall make it a worthy game in the Batman Arkham series. Unfortunately, none of these happened, and now I believe Batman Arkham Knight is the end of the series.
We have already had 4 good Arkham games. I think a VR game is a good step forward for the series. The game director loves this franchise. He even made sure to keep the Arkham comic books in mind when working on the story. I never really understood how people “felt” like Batman with third person action games lol. This is the first time that can be said. Fans need to be more open to new experiences.
Honestly I'll take what I can get as the Arkhamverse has poor or decent world building and has shallow universe and lack of strong characters so I'll take this as long as we get good writing out of it.
It feels like Rocksteady have killed Arkham Batman and are just dragging his corpse across the place throwing him at their owners heel expecting for them to be happy. Jesus Christ what has even happened. I don’t understand how this happened. One of if not the best single player development studios decided to make a live service game featuring some of my least favourite characters in existence as the playable characters where you kill off some of my favourite characters in existence and not only that but the best version of Batman? I feel like I’m trapped in a nightmare that everyone else is trapped in and I just want to get out. I had a dream about an Aquaman game last night but that is just a dream and will never be a reality. I love the Arkham games so much. I’ve played Asylum once, that one took a while to beat because I found it difficult, I’ve played City five times and am on my third play through of Knight. Can’t get Origins because it’s not on PlayStation and hasn’t got a remaster or port. Please Rocksteady save this franchise. You owe it to all of us to at least try.
For those who care, the talent that made the Arkham series aren't even at rocksteady anymore: it was a different group of people working under the company name of rocksteady that made kill The Justice League
So - happy that the original games innovated and found a sequence of mechanics that worked - not happy for the new game to try and innovate on those mechanics. Happy to buy a new console just for a new entry - not happy to buy a VR console for a new entry in series. Got it.
I found that funny as well. “I FELT LIKE I WAS BECOMING BATMAN” during a third person game. Doesn’t want to play VR game where you get immersed with being Batman.
It’s so strange that people asking for more Arkham games, when story ended so long ago. It’s just becomes another mgs with dozen of unnecessary games that just add more and more plot details that will never affect anything because story is long over
I absolutely don't get why they should just move to another direction of a batman video game instead of continuing it in the arkhamverse. There's no point now that Kevin is gone.
Okay hear me out… Batman: Arkham Dracula. Imagine a younger Batman taking on Natalia and Dracula, only to get bitten and still needing to take on Joker, but plot twist Joker is also bitten and doesn’t want them to be cured.
I understand why people are upset about this but the only reason this game is being made is because an outside company convinced WB to let them make a new game plus it is very obvious that they care a lot about the series so I guess just be open to new things ( it does suck it’s meta only but they don’t really have control over that)
VR only is one thing but having it be only on the quest 3 is surely one if the worst moves to make.. At the very least they should try to release it on PCVR as well. Only reason not to do it i can think of is if the game somehow implements AR mechanics making the Quest 3 the only device capable of playing it.. not worth alienating all your fans tho.
Actually the head dev of the game did an interview and it seems like the game is going to be really like the console games and it will be translated really well.
I thought the next easiest, EASIEST Batman Arkham game to was something like "Batman Beyond Arkham"... or something like that 😅 Never would i had thought they would fumble with that Suicide Squad game which is somewhat canon to the Arkham verse, and now this goofy VR game.
I mean it not over for Rocksteady or the Arkhamverse. They confirm that their next project will be a single player game after Suicide Squad. They hope that they can bring Rocksteady back to it roots including the Arkhamverse.
Did your voice get deeper? Also it’s just weird that they just dropped the price of the Meta Quest 2 permanently to then announce this huge title for the 3. Makes no sense whatsoever
People are hating Arkham: Shadow because it’s on a VR headset. We have a group of developers who actually GIVE A FUCK about their source material. Who EXTENSIVELY researched the THREE games AND SOME of their tie-in’s to CREATE A STORY IN A PREQUEL FORM. And people can’t WAIT to form a fucking opinion? Guy’s are we seriously this unintelligent?
I’d much prefer if this series was just left alone. I’d love a new Batman/DC game universe. A new Batman play style. And dear lord, do we desperately need a new continuity. Screw Suicide Squad. Arkham Knight is the crap basket that broke the poor camel’s back
I know some people might not like this but just hear me out...... say they continue the arkham series with arkham origins timeline why not make it another universe? i mean yeah still keep arkham asylum cannon but discard everything else
I feel like this is kind of an apology...or a distraction. EVERYONE was angry at Sweetbaby inc, and the lack of knollege, respect, and love for the characters, only to replace it with SWJ bullshit, and disrespect. Putting out this game after "Suicide Squad Kill the JLA" AKA "let's shit on Arkham games and the fans..." feels like static. "Oops! Here's some Batman for you! Sorry!!!" NO. Not working. No one wants to play a VR game that's two hours...what we want is ONE THING. We want a proper Batman Arkham game that says "That game didn't happen...it's an alternate world"...and treats us with RESPECT.
To me the Arkhamverse ended with Arkham Knight. Rocksteady continuing the Arkhamverse without Kevin Conroy just feels wrong. He was Rocksteady's Batman.
Hey Pup. Just so you know, IGN has confirmed that the Suicide Squad game will follow through with the other season/content drops with other characters and stories until season 4 where it was on the roadmap. Most likely making it end this year (2024).
Oh please save us the sorry excuses. We both know Suicide Squad isn't gonna make it past the Joker Season. They killed off the Justice League in a demeaning and mocking manner. The game deserves to get shut down.
It has already been confirmed that SS will get to the 4th season... And no, they didn't kill the actual JL, they just killed some clones. The real JL is trapped in Brainiac's ship.
The fact that we are now just starting to get more arkham game after the legendary Kevin Conroy death just feel wrong.
Tbf while Kevin is goated roger creg is a great replacement
How? There is still so much lore to explore within the cracks of the timeline. Kevin Conroy ain't the franchise, dude. He was just a voice actor.
As long as it's WB Games Montréal making the games instead of Rocksteady I'm good. Roger Craig Smith is the perfect successor to Kevin Conroy.
Disagree…there’s a lot u can do in the time before asylum
Bro, the game was pitched 3 years ago and before Kevin’s death, they had no idea that he would no longer be with us.
One hour has passed, and this video has three times the view count as current suicide squad players
😂
God, I miss Kevin Conroy so much. He was perfect. I got a voice acting background and have to say that his voice has been such an inspiration for me since the Batman the Animated Series. The vocal training was really tough, sometimes without noticeable results for months but actors like him are a great impulse to not give up. You almost saw me as Leon in those new RE games :) Great video.
Kevin Conroy will always be the best Batman. Michael Keaton, best live action Batman (IMO), but Conroy is the best Batman overall. RIP to that legend

Probably not anytime soon tho. WB has said they are done with single player. Only reason we are getting this is because of Meta.
True, but This is a “Full-Scale” Arkham-Game. It’s about the Length of and Scope Arkham Asylum. “Full-Scale” isn't the right term there. Just Flat-Screen or Console Game I guess.

@@CatgirlChihiro they don’t have that many exclusives. But as their library grows they might.
Another W for Shadow the Hedgehog
Best reaction to the game story of kill the Justice League why? 9:05
Okay hear me out… Batman: Arkham Dracula.
Imagine a younger Batman taking on Natalia and Dracula, only to get bitten and still needing to take on Joker, but plot twist Joker is also bitten and doesn’t want them to be cured.
I understand why people are upset about this but the only reason this game is being made is because an outside company convinced WB to let them make a new game plus it is very obvious that they care a lot about the series so I guess just be open to new things ( it does suck it’s meta only but they don’t really have control over that)
They really, really should have just left it at Arkham Knight.
VR only is one thing but having it be only on the quest 3 is surely one if the worst moves to make.. At the very least they should try to release it on PCVR as well.
Only reason not to do it i can think of is if the game somehow implements AR mechanics making the Quest 3 the only device capable of playing it.. not worth alienating all your fans tho.
I just hope the story is good honestly don't think you can do much as batman in vr
Actually the head dev of the game did an interview and it seems like the game is going to be really like the console games and it will be translated really well.
I thought the next easiest, EASIEST Batman Arkham game to was something like "Batman Beyond Arkham"... or something like that 😅
Never would i had thought they would fumble with that Suicide Squad game which is somewhat canon to the Arkham verse, and now this goofy VR game.
I find it funny how the only VR games people genuinely get excited for are the FNAF ones
That’s just a lie. Asgards Wrath 2. Assassins Creed Nexus. Batman Arkham Shadow. Contractors Showdown.
I'm going to ignore everything I've heard about Gotham Knights and just say the Arkham games ended on a cliffhanger. It's better that way.
Im kinda done with Batman again i wouldnt mind seeing anyone else
What do you know I also have the Arkham Knight PS4.
I mean it not over for Rocksteady or the Arkhamverse. They confirm that their next project will be a single player game after Suicide Squad. They hope that they can bring Rocksteady back to it roots including the Arkhamverse.
They pitched it but we don’t know if WB accepted
NGL man, I cried 😭 ( I haven't seen the video yet)
Did your voice get deeper?
Also it’s just weird that they just dropped the price of the Meta Quest 2 permanently to then announce this huge title for the 3. Makes no sense whatsoever
It ended flat out with Arkham Knight. Rip Kevin.
The rest is non-canon.
People are hating Arkham: Shadow because it’s on a VR headset. We have a group of developers who actually GIVE A FUCK about their source material. Who EXTENSIVELY researched the THREE games AND SOME of their tie-in’s to CREATE A STORY IN A PREQUEL FORM. And people can’t WAIT to form a fucking opinion? Guy’s are we seriously this unintelligent?
It's simple I'll watch the cutscenes online. I don't care about VR nor do I feel like buying one and I don't need one to experience the story.
I’d much prefer if this series was just left alone. I’d love a new Batman/DC game universe. A new Batman play style. And dear lord, do we desperately need a new continuity. Screw Suicide Squad. Arkham Knight is the crap basket that broke the poor camel’s back
Bois we found are British batman
I know some people might not like this but just hear me out...... say they continue the arkham series with arkham origins timeline why not make it another universe? i mean yeah still keep arkham asylum cannon but discard everything else
I feel like this is kind of an apology...or a distraction. EVERYONE was angry at Sweetbaby inc, and the lack of knollege, respect, and love for the characters, only to replace it with SWJ bullshit, and disrespect. Putting out this game after "Suicide Squad Kill the JLA" AKA "let's shit on Arkham games and the fans..." feels like static. "Oops! Here's some Batman for you! Sorry!!!" NO. Not working. No one wants to play a VR game that's two hours...what we want is ONE THING. We want a proper Batman Arkham game that says "That game didn't happen...it's an alternate world"...and treats us with RESPECT.
Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League is not canon to the Arkham Verse I repeat not canon to the ARKHAM!!!! Verse.
To me the Arkhamverse ended with Arkham Knight. Rocksteady continuing the Arkhamverse without Kevin Conroy just feels wrong. He was Rocksteady's Batman.
Rocksteady ain't touching the franchise anymore though...
@@sup3414 WB Games Montréal needs to make the Arkham games going forward. Rocksteady already destroyed their Batman.
@@callmejacob3234 HELL NO! Lol. Have you seen Gotham Knights? Nah bro Camoflaj are the guys to takr the IP.
@@sup3414yeah and they actually seem to care about this franchise
@@sup3414I mean it sucked but it's world felt more better fleshed out then rocksteadys.
Tch
Hey Pup. Just so you know, IGN has confirmed that the Suicide Squad game will follow through with the other season/content drops with other characters and stories until season 4 where it was on the roadmap. Most likely making it end this year (2024).
But the Justice League come back in the Suicide Squad game......the 4 seasons pretty much outline that pretty blatantly.
Oh please save us the sorry excuses. We both know Suicide Squad isn't gonna make it past the Joker Season. They killed off the Justice League in a demeaning and mocking manner. The game deserves to get shut down.
It has already been confirmed that SS will get to the 4th season...
And no, they didn't kill the actual JL, they just killed some clones.
The real JL is trapped in Brainiac's ship.
@@SpideyfanXso confidently incorrect lol
@@SpideyfanXWB confirmed it will go to season 4 and then be finished
Ratcatcher as a villian ?!!!!
