I like the more stylized looks except for Batman. The final Arkham version is one of the best Batman suits we have ever got. The final version feels very DCAU inspired I hope one day we get dirtier horror inspired Batman.
I've heard that this game originally was supposed to be much darker and horror like some walls were supposed to be covered in blood like in Dead Space or Outlast, but because of the T rating they cut it out. But I see there's many more darker things in original version. HAPPY 15TH ANNIVERSARY ASYLUM, thank you for changing my life 🤩
I feel this version would've potentially been a more cerebral, methodical experience with an eeriness more directly reflecting the original "A Serious House On A Serious Earth" rather than a more straightforward action-adventurer with horror parts.
My dudes, the original version of Arkham Asylum looks so dark that it could have changed the future of the series if they kept everything from the beginning. Imagine this Batman with a skinnier body and longer cape, just like from the comics.
I know people have already said this, but yeah, I remember this game supposed to be almost horror like. I always thought I’d be cool if we could get a game where you are a doctor or Arkham guard trying to survive a breakout like this
would be cool, but i don't think it'll be as well received. people are still rambling about spider-man's mary jane stealth segments. i can't imagine how would it be if it's for the whole game even with improvements. maybe if the game is an original IP it would work better
Great video. Full of information and a lot of images that I never seen before like Alpha Joker and beta Batman amimations. Nice. Thanks for the credits and for tagging me..
I do wonder if Arkham Asylum would've still been successful if they had stuck with this version. Ultimately however, I am glad with the version we got.
I would love to see a fan made project trying to recreate this original version of the game, sort of like the fan made elder scrolls remake mods that are in development right now
26:00 we got a little bit of that in Arkham Knight when you scanned for Simon stagg finger prints. Kinda cool but i see why they didn't follow with it... would've been a bit annoying lol
25:55 I believe this mechanic was sort of implemented in Arkham Knight. Not sure which part but i know for a fact that its when you need Stagg's handprint and the one explained in the video is exactly what you do to get it as his handprint is left on certain places around the lab.
And to think that Arkham Asylum couldn’t have gotten any darker. Wow this is so phat to see! This game was my childhood and made me a even bigger Batman fan as a kid
Im glad they went the direction they did with the combat and controls, but I do feel robbed at the fact that the horror elements were removed, and the customizability was watered down. Im really intrigued at the opening scene at the church, and wonder why it was removed completely. The 2007 build in general gives me Twisted Metal Black vibes, and wish it had kept those vibes. But I still love the Arkham Series
I think the horror elements were sort of removed/downgraded for a T rating. still it would've been pretty cool to see an R rated cut back in the day similar to the different versions of the Xmen Origins Wolverine game.
Things like blood in the cells made it all the way up until the beta version of the game. The old Riddler cell was covered in bloody smears but ended up being recoloured for the retail build.
13:21 I won’t like the Titan Henchmen do look badass and sick! They would stick with this design in the final product with the metal coming out of their skin
some of the art is in the Batman Arkham series art book, which you can read for free here: archive.org/details/art-of-the-rocksteadys-batman-by-arkham-asylum-arkham-city-arkham-knight there's also my video on the early development of Arkham asylum but that isn't me plugging my video or anything...
Was uploading this video on Arkham Asylum’s 15th anniversary intentional or a coincidence? I imagine a lot of time and work is put into these quality videos. Love to see it.
they shouldve kept the various collectibles and do multiple sets of them based on different heroes and villains, the riddler trophy system is so boring and tedious, sure collecting abunch of items is still going to be tedious but having them based on different characters connected to batman wouldve been far more interesting than only riddler trophies.
Rest In Peace legendary developers that used to work for Rocksteady. The corporation will never be the same without you guys. Look at that garbage Suicide Squad game that was made by the new hires.
Probably gonna have a lot of wolks disagreeing with me here, but is just my taste and my opinion !!!!, 8:40 i really prefer the armored suit, , i was never much a fan of the lycra and the tight suit, takes me back to the 70's batman, wich i don´t like much ( it is a little childish for me ), i like the armor, for me the arkham origins suit is the best one it gives a much more serious tone for batman !!, remembering guys, is just my taste here kkk !!
It's the opposite for me. Arkham Asylum's (and City's) suit is one of my favorite modern renditions of the classic, "non-armored" black and grey. I'm not as partial to all black batsuits like here which seems a bit Nolan-inspired, or the armored suits of Origins & Knight, though I think they look cool. The only thing I would've preferred from here is the quilted cape.
This was so fun to work on.
Thanks for having me.
thank you for helping make his possible
The 🐐 himself
The multiple handprints idea was used in arkham knight, its really cool that they used canned ideas.
Seems like a lot of canned ideas were reused in later games.
it's the 15th year anniversary of Arkham asylum apparently.

Well you’re right about the blood part
The riddler cell that has green question marks on the walls were meant to be blood
14:43 I'm wearing headphones and this scared the absolute SHIT out of me.
I feel this version would've potentially been a more cerebral, methodical experience with an eeriness more directly reflecting the original "A Serious House On A Serious Earth" rather than a more straightforward action-adventurer with horror parts.
Would have loved playing this version
@@averycasualfellow Same. I feel it could've also been a more character-driven story.
@@themadtitan7603yeah , this version seems more interesting
We could’ve had British Batman and Italian Joker dialogue!!!
"Oi, come off it, Young."
-British Batman
"It's-a me, Jonkler!"

Italian Joker would be the type of guy who breaks the pasta for laughs.
I'd love that 😂

You know some of these older designs of Batman could be skins in Arkham Knight through modding or Rocksteady themselves
IceMage already added the in development batsuit through mods, it’s on nexus mods

It genuinely amazes me how horrifying this game was going to be. Really makes you wonder.
Rocksteady understood how to make the batman mythos horrifc

That would be dope. Outlast style. Running from a stealth centered Man Bat

Make sense cause the graphic novel the game's based on is basically horror
@@antcmo_2 it could work if advertised as what it really is and not a batman game
You uploaded this on the 15th anniversary of Arkham Asylum? Awesome! All hero’s don’t wear capes.
I didn’t know there was a 2007 version of Arkham Asylum
15 years later and Man is still Man, how much we’ve grown.
Yeah, I’m man
This version of the game seems to have that mid 2000s aesthetic of films that reminds me of hell boy for some reason
Is there a lore reason why Arkham Asylum is 15?
👁👁 you tell me
Is alsume stupid?
Scarecrow hitting us with fear toxin making us realize we getting old
is it stupid?
The bombs payload is exposed, I can use the power wrench to trigger a controlled explosion

Great video. Full of information and a lot of images that I never seen before like Alpha Joker and beta Batman amimations. Nice. Thanks for the credits and for tagging me..
Your welcome, thank you for your work
Idk why but when I look at some the concept art from this early version of the game kinda looks like a horror themed Alice in wonderland to me
The art certainly had a more fantastical, fairy tail like aesthetic.
@@WarpingFist kinda reminds me of American Mcgee’s Alice horror game but if he want to RockStedy instead
Probably cuz they heavily based the majority of the game on grant morrisons graphic novel arkham asylum.
.
Which in that novel it all happens in the span of one night and is also very alice in wonderland esque
We got the blueprints let's make this game
I do wonder if Arkham Asylum would've still been successful if they had stuck with this version. Ultimately however, I am glad with the version we got.
15 Years later and Arkham Asylum is still the best throughout the Arkhamverse.
I'm hoping for a proper remake or at least a game that captures the same kind of vibe
I agree.
agreed

Happy 15th anniversary Arkham Asylum. 🎂🦇🎉
Just found out about your channel through this video. Amazing video and content! Happy 15th Anniversary! 🦇🎉
almost to 50k! keep grinding bro
I knew you wouldn't forget about today, WF. 15 years and all. Thanks dude.

And to think that Arkham Asylum couldn’t have gotten any darker. Wow this is so phat to see! This game was my childhood and made me a even bigger Batman fan as a kid
Happy The Batman 2004 and Batman Arkham Asylum 20/15th years Anniversary of 2024
Awesome video man
Thx
15 years of Arkham asylum happy anniversary 🎉🎈🎊
Brooklyn Batman is crazy
Your videos r always top tier bro, I just end up binging on your shit, you deserve 100k subs🔥🔥🔥
Man dude you got the best videos!!
If we ever get an Arkham Asylum Remake I hope we get the bigger map
I like your videos man nice job
11:04 pre alpha joker sounds like borat 🤣
Awesome video bro loved it
Arkham asylum is as old as when i first time played the game
Damn
Respect fr I know why u dropped it today it's the anniversary
19:57 I miss being able to pick up enemies and throw them at other people. I wonder why they got rid of that in the sequels.

"Half life 2 beta was dark and griddy"

They should make a reboot around this
Damn this is crazy to see
love the series
We wont from this to Suicide Squad kill the justice league

2:25 SICK !!!!! , imagine an ivy boss fight in that bridge...
7:42 Imagine being a criminal and turning around to see that
12:18 every Arkham player has experienced something like this before 😔
2009 was 15 years ago 😭😭
I always find early concepts interesting
All of this looks fantastic. It looks more interesting than what SS game bought to the table
This game was truly a head of it time
Interesting, seems they were going for almost and immersive simulation route with the game.
Damn
The joker stand in sounds like a smiling friends character
Bro sounds like male glados

i would love a valve game early development video!

I tip my hat to you
7:51 Nah batman was really gonna wear a quilted blanket as a cape
Yeah, that's the only aspect about that version of the suit that I would've preferred they kept.
@@themadtitan7603Agreed, it even matches up with his art in the character bios menu.

@@WarpingFist haha didnt notice the error, but no thanks to warpong… THE Warpingfist! Will cover it eventually
Chapel rock? Like that one girl? Good for her!
Could you also do a video of the unmade justice league movie really love your content
What i find weird here is batman and oracle's interaction
Wait what what is this I’ve never even heard of this
The only thing i hate about batman arkham asylum is how short the game is
I wonder if the rhythm gameplay was gonna look something like hifi rush
