Tonight on Giant Bomb: A Siri fact check forces the crew to reconsider the entire Batman Universe, Brad struggles to grasp the nuances of fast travel and An impromptu Xbox Live Quick Look hijacks the Batman Quick Look
I feel like the multiplayer is the ultimate culmination of the current era of video games and it's just Batman being horribly gunned down every 30 seconds.
Conroy's tweeted that he's working with Rocksteady on the next Arkham, probably busy doing that and other things. And Arleen Sorkin stopped doing the voice after Asylum, and Mark Hamill isn't doing Joker anymore except for an animated Killing Joke.
Actually, I think so, aside from companies who couldn't afford him. I was actually looking it up, but basically, he stared in almost every triple A title from here till almost the fourth quarter or last year. GOD DAMN, the guy knows how to get around.
I see what you're saying, but this is how all the Batman: Arkham games have been. I think it still feels like that in Batman: AO, but they did try to put some more weight behind combat in this one and it shows.
I love how Vinny and Jeff would not let Brad set the story for the game in the beginning lol. Also Brad's intense button mashing is the stuff of dreams
Confirmed. Batman secret identity is actually Kenshiro. Edit: Also it looks to me like you can't fast travel while in combat or in mid-air. Which makes sense since that's how fast travel is usually done.
I don't know. I guess they were going for the whole "Cinematic" combat feel. But it just looks like batman is sliding, slapping people and flipping around and has no weight to his motions at all. It might work well in a movie, where the camera angles actually work with you to make it more impressive, but it comes off a little goofy to me in a game like this.
Should be mandatory to have a Comic Vine person in on a comic-themed Quick Look to help disambiguate the DC vs. Marvel stuff. Or is that in a non-compete clause from the CBS acquisition?
It doesn't really justify it, and I never really tried to. But it is very common and in a title that is just "more of the same until you get a kickass next gen title" this is not bad, especially when you think of how money grubbing they could have gone with and they didn't. But an expansion price would have been okay in my eyes really.
Why do I get the giantbomb channel logo in the upper right corner when viewing this on my android phone? I don't have other channel logos when viewing other videos, only from giantbomb. I'm not Batman.
Riddle me this: Again, why was it they didn't cast Kevin Conroy (The Greatest Batman) in this? I understand they wanted to go "younger" as it's a prequel (and that Conroy's working on another Batman game), but... the VA they cast is doing his damnedest Kevin Conroy/Batman impersonation. Is Conroy really too busy to do both? Are they trying to get a scab to replace Conroy on the cheap (especially going forward)? If so, I'll be very upset--it's Kevin Conroy, Arleen Sorkin, and Mark Hamill.
A third is reused assets in other locations etc, but the entire game is not Arkham stuff. But this game is made by another studio in half the time because.. well new generation consoles. The game is basically "good old batman" stuff and if you liked the other games then this will not be bad. And what game does not re-use stuff nowadays anyway here and there? Call of Duty is basically just that really. I rather take reused arkham assets than pay 60 dollar annually for the same cod game imo.
but u cannot sacrifice gameplay just for a sake of narration, gameplay should get the highest priority over anything else, more importantly i don't feel like the world greatest detective after "solving" that crime scene
I still don't get why people think the combat is great in the Arkham games. Batman is literally a pinball, bouncing and jumping clear across the screen after landing one punch or kick. They should use Sleeping Dogs' engine coupled with batman's gadgets. Punch one guy, jump 10 feet to another guy, land one kick, fly across the screen to hit another guy once, ridiculous.

"So what is this.. pretty much we kill eachother?"
Guy - 2013
I feel like the multiplayer is the ultimate culmination of the current era of video games and it's just Batman being horribly gunned down every 30 seconds.
"Alright, so what's.. what is this? Pretty much we kill each other?"
Conroy's tweeted that he's working with Rocksteady on the next Arkham, probably busy doing that and other things.
And Arleen Sorkin stopped doing the voice after Asylum, and Mark Hamill isn't doing Joker anymore except for an animated Killing Joke.
Batman is 105 feet tall.
Vinny's colorblindness doing him in on the crime scene investigation? It seemed that he wasn't noticing the red triangles...
It's just to make the narrative slightly more involved.
You still have to rewind the scene to find the trails that lead to new evidence at least.
Jeff: Siri how tall is Batman?
Siri: The answer is about 105 ft
lol
Actually, I think so, aside from companies who couldn't afford him. I was actually looking it up, but basically, he stared in almost every triple A title from here till almost the fourth quarter or last year. GOD DAMN, the guy knows how to get around.

Can never remember which colors it is that he has trouble with. Figured that's what it was. Thought the other guys would've picked up on it.
Batman- he's human but physics means nothing in his world.
I love how Vinny and Jeff would not let Brad set the story for the game in the beginning lol.
Also Brad's intense button mashing is the stuff of dreams
Sword Batman made Brad so happy.
I knew someone was going to say Jet Li when they started talking about Black Mask and of course it was Jeff.
This is not how i remember the early Batman.
***** *quak quak* Boiiiii
Is Nolan North in every single game released this year? Sheesh.
Confirmed. Batman secret identity is actually Kenshiro.
Edit: Also it looks to me like you can't fast travel while in combat or in mid-air.

He can't see red and blue colors well I think. It's a very common kind of color blindness.
johnnycrazydude knows whats up
17:20 For best part of the quick look.
I don't know. I guess they were going for the whole "Cinematic" combat feel. But it just looks like batman is sliding, slapping people and flipping around and has no weight to his motions at all.

Why always Batman sound like he's been smoking for years,,,SWEAR TO ME!!!!
The Dark Shoemaker rises.
Bradman: Where is the Dota? Where izzzit?
Dear videogame voice casters: Please get Brit actors to do Brit accents! My ears, they hurt.
batman is fucking tall
That awkward moment when the Quick look is about 10 times better than the game.
Pretty much we kill each other.
"Joker just wants one rib!!"

Siri, how tall is barman?

27:50 bringing back repressed memories from grade school guys
I wonder if its possible to mod the PC version and play the villains or thugs in campaign someday.
Wow a Daylyt refrence from Vinny @ 1:05:32 really enjoyed d quicklook guys.
Phil Knight is: Batman
Jeff: "There's nothing wrong with hammering on the A button to open something."
There's nothing right with it, either.
Why do I get the giantbomb channel logo in the upper right corner when viewing this on my android phone? I don't have other channel logos when viewing other videos, only from giantbomb. I'm not Batman.
Ezio is it you?!
Die Hard Trilogy was the shit on PS1.
if scorpion was in this that would be amazing
Weird art direction. Almost looks like they forgot to texture the character models. It seems far more cartoony than the other games.
Riddle me this: Again, why was it they didn't cast Kevin Conroy (The Greatest Batman) in this? I understand they wanted to go "younger" as it's a prequel (and that Conroy's working on another Batman game), but... the VA they cast is doing his damnedest Kevin Conroy/Batman impersonation.

Game looks amazing on PC and the PHYSX is sexy

Giant Bombs Video Player is still broken why I'm here ^__^
Its 2 years.
It just.. it looks so samey.. this is why I got burned out on Assassin's Creed, Gears of War, etc.
Good game but could have done with some new features to make it feel like a new game instead of a déjàvu.
They highliht every evidence in a crime scene, what is the point
They know nothing about Batman. o___o
Batman^3: Batmanbatmanbatman
Quick look = 90 minutes.
