Wow. It definitely has a lot going against it. A new studio going full Gotham (presumably, I dunno maybe they'll use the snowstorm as an excuse to wall it off). The premise of assassins coming to kill Batman on Christmas Eve sounds neat but iffy too. I almost feel bad for these Montreal guys, they've been given a near impossible task, but I'll be really impressed if it delivers. I wonder if Rocksteady is working on a next gen one simultaneously, that would make sense.
It's an unexpected announcement so that's exciting and it gives me another reason to finish Arkham City. That game is so awesome but it still overwhelms me. I get so sidetracked with the little stuff that you're alerted to every few seconds that I feel like I never make any actual progress, so then feeling unfulfilled after a few hours, I move onto something else. I loved Asylum's world size, I never lost interest for a second.

I loved Asylum's world size, I never lost interest for a second. I have the same advice for all the people who seemingly have the same issues with Arkham City, finish the story mode first no matter how many bells and whistles keep popping up then go back for all the side missions and Riddler trophies. I had the same feeling of being overwhelmed by trying to do everything all at once until I divided it up, that way you focus on one thing at the time and enjoy each part of the game more as well. As for Origins, it is a prequel to Arkham Asylum so even though you should play through Arkham City to get the big picture of the soon to be trilogy and because it is an awesome game, I'm not sure how much it will directly connect with Origins. Man, at times like these, I wish Optronix was still around. The kid would have enjoyed this news even with the change in developers.

I learned my lesson to stay on task with video games like that back with Tony Hawk's Proskater 2. Trying to collect S-K-A-T-E and all the videos and grind all the special railings in one session made me miss everything.

Sounds like it really captured the feeling of being Batman.

I'm still gonna hold out for gameplay footage before I get too excited.
No Rocksteady, no Kevin Conroy, no Mark Hamill, no Paul Dini... we shall see.

No Rocksteady, no Kevin Conroy, no Mark Hamill, no Paul Dini... The potential impact of all those factors is negated (at least in my mind) by a full Gotham city layout to explore, a fully interactive Batcave and the implementation of various Bat vehicles to get around. This game has the potential to give us the most complete Batman experience of the series yet. I'm also digging what we've heard so far on the villain front regarding Black Mask, Deathstroke, etc. It's nice to get some unconventional foes to battle.

I'm going to go into this looking at it as an entirely new direction in the hopes that I won't be disappointed if it's not as good as Rocksteady's two previous offerings. I do like the fact that we get to pretty much see all of Gotham, and we can actually use the Bat Cave and vehicles.
I am disappointed in the fact that Kevin Conroy and Paul Dini won't be involved in the project though. I always figured we wouldn't be getting anything from Mark Skywalker.

It would be immensely wonderful to have a sandbox game in which one can use the Batmobile freely.

Indeed something similar to GTA and Saints Row maybe. You pull up you communicator to the Batcave and select the "Deploy Batmobile" option. A few seconds later your speeding through Gotham.

Maybe that was just the Batplane. I'll have to try to find that article.

Not to sound too grumpy or anything, but that video contains two of my most-hated things about modern games: CGI trailers that don't tell you anything about what the game itself will be like, and preorder bonuses. Oh how I hate preorder bonuses. If I'm paying $60 for a new game, I should get the complete game. Extra characters are supposed to be unlockable by playing the game, not something you have to get from a specific store or shell out more money for later. Argh.

I'll give you that one. Pre-order bonuses are total bullshit but you can't deny that the trailer was awesome. A gameplay trailer shouldn't be too far away and I'm hoping it won't be too different from the last two games.
