I find it kind of funny how the Black Mask Joker twist has traumatised so many DC fans that we're afraid Joker is secretly every new villain. I remember I thought that the Court could have secretly been controlled by the Joker at one point during the Gotham Knights leadup. Yes really
Cause they finished their trilogy The story is done What they should have done was move on with different hero’s A flash game, a robin/nightwing game, a Superman game, a wonder woman game But alas
More like why should they do another Arkham game? There is only that much you can do with same idea over and over. VR could bring some life, but i think it will be too similar to regular versions.
Two Face would make a great villain for an Arkham Origins sequel because he was still Harvey Dent in the first game and the other games didn’t do much with him

I NEED more superhero games where the world reacts to the kind of hero that you choose to be. Give me a Hulk game where the Avengers try to stop me if I cause too much damage, or a Captain America game where if you go rogue against the government they try to replace you with US Agent or something like that
Troy, hear me out on this: A Green Arrow Arkham-style game. But it would be more long-ranged in terms of combat. You could have a customizable arrow quiver where you select 5-6 types of trick-arrows before gameplay. And as you complete missions, you unlock more variants which could work better for different enemy-types. Like brutes would be more sensitive to ice-arrows or explosive-arrows. And maybe you could only have a limited number of arrows and you had to be strategic in how you used each arrow. And after each encounter your quiver would “recharge” (Sorta like your health-bar in the Arkham games) There would of course be hand-to-hand combat and thwacking enemies with your bow but it would less effective.
So I will quibble a bit on the idea that the Arkham series reinforces Bat-god “he doesn’t need anybody”. The main narrative of Arkham Origins is that Batman needs other people in order to succeed. And that in Arkham Knight, a few of the major challenges Batman faces is because he isn’t allowing other people to help him for fear that they’ll get hurt. Which winds up getting them hurt anyways. Great video though! I desperately want something in the Arkhamverse. Whether it be a new Arkham game, or a similar game for a different DC character, which is what I really want
But like the entire end of arkham knight is him abandoning everyone outside of Alfred and doing solo batman adventures. Basically reinforcing that he needs to work alone in the arkham verse which definetly supports batgod. I love arkham knight but it's, imo, what caused the whole batgod shit.
@@Elephantsaresupreme There’s no way Arkham Knight is what caused the batgod stuff. I mean around the same time Batman: Endgame released and in that comic Batman soloed the Justice League. There are other examples of comics, so I think blaming Arkham Knight for starting the batgod stuff is wrong.
I mean, considering batmans late in his career in all of the rocksteady games, his bat family get very little airtime. But I give it a pass since they’re games
@@Elephantsaresupreme City too! The whole crux of the ending is Selina saving him before Alfred and Oracle talk sense into him to stop Protocol 10. Tim saves him in the DLC too (thanklessly, classic Tim)
Agreed! Superman is LONG OVERDUE for his own videogame with same level of passion, quality gameplay mechanics and compelling narrative as the Arkham games (minus SSKTJL) or the Insomniac Spiderman trilogy eo far with how well they incorporate the character of Spidermans powers, understand the character and gives us some of the best Spiderman stories today, and Superman as a character deserves that more than anyone if you ask me
The devs confirmed that Rat King is not rat catcher but he has a set of followers in the way that riddler did in the movie and that rat catcher is influenced by the rat king and takes on a similar identity to empower himself

@@jacobp249 That's true but it doesn't make the way meta does exclusives any less frustrating, especially with how often they've been releasing updated quest models that basically do nothing new from the old ones and make new games unable to be played on the old ones just to make you buy the new one
I think a big problem I have with replaying the Arkham games is their whole stance of “It makes you feel like Batman.” That can be all good fun, but upon replaying any Arkham game, you realize that these games are like a rollercoaster with only one route to go down.

Batman’s health and armor also won’t regenerate between fights, requiring the player to go to bat bunkers to get medical attention. Again, the game will get more difficult the worse you are as Batman.
This sounds cool honestly. And give us access to all of Gotham, make the city as lively as NYC in the insomniac games but at night… you can change the art direction, and make it set in the 80’s in the style of Tim Burtons films. That shit would go so hard.
For a court of owls based batman game, it would really be fun to have a system similar to Assassins Creed Odyssey's Cultist system where many of them appear as regular civilians and you can collect evidence to find out who they are before taking them down.
I'd honestly just prefer a batfamily game by rocksteady. Gotham Knights is way better than a lot of people give it credit for, but it did obviously lack a lot of important things to make it a worthy 'batman' game. A batfam game in the style of the arkham games would be a DREAM. Honestly, my preferred setup would probably be having all the robins be the playable characters except jason, giving us Dick, Tim, Damian and Steph, with Babs as Oracle.
@@Kalel2.0 I think it looked fine, my main problem was just that everything felt like there was one extra step between every action that made everything feel clunkier. Gliding with barbara always felt just a bit slower than it should, took one extra move every time I wanted to gain speed, made everything just a bit more tedious than it needed to be. Switching between enemies in combat, using a heavy move vs a light move, getting onto the motorcycle, riding the motorcycle, everything was just the tiniest bit more tedious than what it should've been
Gotham Knights Court of Owls were botched, the villians plans were lame though liked the designs, and they had Batman murder the living cpurt of owls members via blowing them up.
Honestly I’m kinda glad that ratcatcher is getting some light he’s a coolish villain and a pre-mask scarecrow has always interested me Omg that guy looks like the riddler
I don’t think we can do an Arkham Game without Kevin Conroy, I’d be interested to see a new line of games that could focus on a new Batman with new takes on these characters. And maybe focus on the relationship of Batman and Robin. Edit: And it turns out I should of watched the video before commenting, but I still think it would be fun for a reboot with new takes on the villains
I mean if you want Batman games to flesh out Batman and Robin amd with out Kevin Conroy just do Origins sequals with Roger and Troy Baker as Joker it would be basickly printing money.
The story sounds amazing! I would definitely play that game if it was made. Personally, i think they should make games for each member of the Bat Family still centered in Rocksteady's Batman universe like a Nightwing game, a Red Hood game, a Red Robin game, a Catwoman game, even for characters that haven't appeared before like a Batwoman game.
I think it'd be cool to see riddler as the major antagonist of one of these games. I think it'd work even better in a prequel. Id love to see what a big full on main story worthy arkham riddler scheme is like.
one idea i’ve had for a different combat style for Batman is to get RGG Studios to make a Yakuza game with Batman in it, like how they made a Fist of the North Star game (actually have no idea if that game has Yakuza combat tbh) well, actually my idea is for them to make a Cassandra Cain in Hong Kong game. but that’ll never happen because we just neeeeddddddd a game with Barbara, Dick, Jason, and Tim again!!!!
Someone should create a game where you start out as "robin" (unknown) and then the way you play,options for combat,weapons,upgrades and even gameplay choices and then as the game develops you start growing more towards the known Robins either becoming one or having characteristics from multiple. It could work like ghosts of tsushima for example how your choices would make you become a samurai or ghost like becoming dick or jason (again for example) also that way costumes can be implemented and endgame you could unlock a batman suit specifically tailored towards each robin
Rather than the court, I'd quite like to see something like the Children of Arkham from the Telltale game. A rising of disgruntled workers and poor people targeting Wayne and the other elites of Gotham. You could not only then include the asylum in the game, making it their HQ and letting players revisit the iconic map all these years later, but also have them challenge Batman's identity. Dick may even agree with the Children, based on his own upbringing in the circus, and this story could be why he ends up leaving to become Nightwing
And I really like watching those long form videos. I would love to hear your take on the Arkham trilogy, just one game or any long form video about anything
I would absolutely watch you breaking down the Arkham games, also only 4 minutes in so I don’t know if you mention this, but you writing a potential Arkham sequel/ spin-off would also be awesome
I want a new Batman Arkham game but I want them to actually make Batman a character like in Origins instead of a brick with a frowny face like in all the other ones
Just to let you know guys what Troy gets wrong is this video is that Rocksteady was never planned to make a Dark Knight video game, other game studios were and at the time EA were tied to doing it. You can find many videos on that all over RUclips about it. Rocksteady was tied to make a superhero video game but when The Dark Knight games stopped being in development they got the green light to make a Batman game. I hope this helps👍🏻
I haven't had the chance to play Sifu yet because my PS4 broke 3 years ago and my laptop is too bad to run any games, so I'll need a PC before I can ever try it, BUT from what I saw it is practically a Spiritual Successor to the Capcom PS2 game "God Hand" I can highly recommend you giving that game a shot, although Sifu does seem to iterate on it in a couple smart ways and make dealing with multiple enemies at once a lot more fair and comfortable
If we really need another Batman game just make it about Cass, pretty much everyone agrees shes the best candidate to take over after Bruce yet there hasnt been any kind of major media depicting that.
10:24 maybe this is just me, but I wish I got to play that multiplayer, even if it meant being the random henchman that get easily taken down by Batman. Just the novelty of stepping into the shoes of one of the nameless henchman Batman stocks from the shadows and having a fight for my life against the seemingly unstoppable force of Batman sounds incredibly fun
With the Court of Owls as the main antagonists, we NEED to have a Talon boss fight in a similar vein to Arkham Origins Deathstroke! You could either make it an introductory fight where multiple weaker varients appear in later combat encounters were they're a class of ninja that need to be hit with a special takedown to get them out of the fight completely or have it be the climactic final fight were it's a tag battle with you switching between Batman and Robin as the fight goes on
I am literally begging for a new arkham game. I am such a big DC fan and yet I skipped SSKTJL And Gotham Knights which if you told 15 year old me. I woulda scoffed. I also loved Batgod era hahaha
Honestly, Gotham Knights is 100% worth playing. It's a slow start but if you just rush knighthood for your preferred character, it instantly becomes a really fun game and the story and character dynamics is easily enough to make it worth playing
just let the series end and start something new the story was given closure with knight, and you vr plus the new one to fill in the gaps, lets spare this series the nightmare of being kept on constant life support for no reason whatsoever
I haven't played Sifu, but based off your explanation of its combat I feel like you'd like For Honor, it's got that same dodge mechanic but I'm not sure how much it'd scratch that itch otherwise
I have a lot of love for how city made catwoman playable in the open world, it let you break up batmans story and also she plays a lot differently without the glider and traversing the open world feels like a completely different game
If they do make a superman game they should make lobo a dlc playable character, he can’t fly but he can use the bike and his missions are way more of a bullet hell shooter
I think it would be cool if we got a game in between Origins and Asylum but with Jason Todds Robin. The game would fill in the gaps set up in Knight and giving us some time with Jason Todd would make his reveal in Knight so much more impactful and less spontanius.
I really enjoyed the later games that had sword enemies along knife enemies. They can both be taken down the same way, meaning that you had to vary your timing based on which type was attacking.
Did try specifically DMC 3? In that game the opening cutscene shows Dante knocking down an enemy and then riding the enemy like a skateboard! And you can actually do that in gameplay!
I played the multiplayer mode on origins with my buddy and I tell ya. The panic in his voice playing as a thug as I glide kicked him as Robin was so funny. We talk about playing the origins pvp mode to this date. It was ridiculously fun. Vise versa him getting to be bane and chasing me down as a thug in the joker gang was terrifying. Good times. I really think WB would be able to put out a good few games in the origins timeline and make fans happy. Rodger Craig Smith Batman meeting and helping Dick through his trauma would be amazing especially with some Grayson missions supported by Alfred making the transition feel comfy. Close the gap with villains that were only ever bios and cameos in the series. If WB would embrace the WBM entry in the series and make origins canon, we could have tons of content for the next 10 yrs ( just based on their release rate)
A silly little thing I'd like in a Batman game: A cooking cutscene ala Monster Hunter World. Just imagine Alfred making a delicious meal for Bruce before one of his missions, and Bruce proceeding to eat it like he forgot all of his manners
Did you know originally the nemesis system that the devs made was for a Batman game they were working on. However, whilst working with WB they were asked to change their efforts to work on another massive IP, giving us Shadow of War and Shadow of Mordor. I believe it was a game for The Dark Knight however apparently Christopher Nolan had all say on the content made sharing his universe and decided the Batman Begins game wouldn't have a sequel.
I’ve had the thought of a game like this since I played Arkham knight: a co-op (or single player) game focused on nightwing and robin investigating what red hood is doing in bludhaven while robin finds his identity as a crime fighter without batman (id love for nightwing to have travel like assassins creed parkour and Spider-Man’s acrobatics and robin traveling in a modified version of the Arkham asylum Batmobile)
Troyoboyo, please do a video on what a TMNT Batman Arkham type game would look like. I have so many ideas for gameplay, visual style, character design- all I need is just a good story. I want to save city at war for dlc, and include Return To New York (just without the mutants yet) and NO KRANG. I want it to be a grounded story, like how the game TMNT Out Of The Shadows started with the purple dragons, then moved on to Shredder. Gameplay is mostly like Arkham, but also like the game Sifu. Free flow combat mixed with environmental attacks, plus single and team finishers (like how Insomniac Spiderman did the finishers) and you can do certain button combinations to do different animations. It has strong attacks, light attacks, a jump button (obviously), and a counter button and a projectile throw with the left bumper, the right trigger can be used to actually do your finisher. Please do this!!!
I want a Terry MCGinnis for Rocksteady to take a different approach on the future neon aesthetic. A Deus Ex & Sifu take on combat and stealth, having Bruce as the mentor: Roger Craig Smiths Batman but older.
I know I am late to this party but I am super excited for Arkham Shadow! I did enjoy seeing the graphics quality of Arkam VR, even if it wasn't so much a game as a story with interactive elements... but this is going to be a full on Arkham game in VR! I am hoping it is able to have the right look and feel, but to be able to play in the Batman sandbox to be IN the game! That is what I love about VR is that it isn't on a screen, but that you are in the world... And the dark brooding Arkham has always had a great appeal. Also, if you do a search - Ryan Payton - the founder and head of the studio did a whole bunch of interviews when the previous trailers came out... and the most exciting thing is he is a lore nerd! Even the trailers that are out now show so many Easter eggs! I am super excited to see some game play at Gamescom ONL - I only hope the game can match the big shoes and high expectations!
I'm dying for a new Arkham game but anything post Knight would be so weird without Conroy now. I would most like to see a revival of that Arkham Beyond game, as Batman Beyond would work so well in this universe. Maybe Roger Craig Smith could respectfully pull off an older Bruce in that as hes great in Origins
Hey huge fan of your stuff! And no yeah absolutely, I think going either Beyond with Terry/Damian or doing an Arkham Origins 2 that's a sort of semi-reboot with Roger Craig Smith would be ideal, I've never really wanted to see anything post-Knight and it would feel wrong with Conroy.
I want an entire game that is just the multi-player mode from origins, but even better-er. "Batman: Arkham Syndicates". Be able to play as Joker and Harley and their gang,as well as Bane, Two-Face, Penguin, maybe even down the line you could also get Mr. Freeze, Scarface, and Mad Hatter. Have the same thing with Batman and Robin also being in the level, but have an opportunity to instead play as Nightwing, as well as Batgirl, later introducing Red Hood. Think it would be great to have a large assortment of customization options for the grunts, wide array of skins for the heroes and villains, and potentially increase the size of maps. Have multiple game modes- example being: deathmatch, King of the hill, bomb, three way fights, four way fights, etc.
crazy idea. Make a Superman game similar to Arkham but set in Belle Reve or maybe the Phantom Zone. Have Superman slightly depowered due to unleashing a Solar flare and slowly getting his powers back. Maybe mix the Death of Superman storyline in there as well and add some lesser-known Superman villains who are universal. Mongul, Preserver, Bizarro, General Zod, Master Jailer etc. Maybe throw in Mxy and Microwave Man as well as the mainstay villains

For a court of owls based batman game, it would really be fun to have a system similar to Assassins Creed Odyssey's Cultist system where many of them appear as regular civilians and you can collect evidence to find out who they are before taking them down.
I'd honestly just prefer a batfamily game by rocksteady. Gotham Knights is way better than a lot of people give it credit for, but it did obviously lack a lot of important things to make it a worthy 'batman' game. A batfam game in the style of the arkham games would be a DREAM. Honestly, my preferred setup would probably be having all the robins be the playable characters except jason, giving us Dick, Tim, Damian and Steph, with Babs as Oracle.

If you think that Rocksteady is still capable of doing justice to a Bat-family game...you just haven't been paying attention
There was good game somewhere in Gotham Knights but its problem was its repetiveness and how it just looked meh compared to the Arkham games
@@Kalel2.0 I think it looked fine, my main problem was just that everything felt like there was one extra step between every action that made everything feel clunkier. Gliding with barbara always felt just a bit slower than it should, took one extra move every time I wanted to gain speed, made everything just a bit more tedious than it needed to be. Switching between enemies in combat, using a heavy move vs a light move, getting onto the motorcycle, riding the motorcycle, everything was just the tiniest bit more tedious than what it should've been
Gotham Knights Court of Owls were botched, the villians plans were lame though liked the designs, and they had Batman murder the living cpurt of owls members via blowing them up.
Honestly I’m kinda glad that ratcatcher is getting some light he’s a coolish villain and a pre-mask scarecrow has always interested me
Omg that guy looks like the riddler
The devs of Arkham Shadow confirmed Ratcatcher was a devote follower of the Rat King, so they aren't the same
i think a cool thing they could do is when we are going through tutorials it could be batman teaching robin
12:26 hatewatching is basically lovewatching in denial
Just give me more Wally Wingert as the Riddler. His voice is the one I hear in my head for Riddler in the comics.
13:40 “AH AH HE SAID IT, HE SAID IT!”
I don’t think we can do an Arkham Game without Kevin Conroy, I’d be interested to see a new line of games that could focus on a new Batman with new takes on these characters. And maybe focus on the relationship of Batman and Robin.
Edit: And it turns out I should of watched the video before commenting, but I still think it would be fun for a reboot with new takes on the villains
I mean if you want Batman games to flesh out Batman and Robin amd with out Kevin Conroy just do Origins sequals with Roger and Troy Baker as Joker it would be basickly printing money.
"Officer balls" truly the greatest line of all time
The story sounds amazing! I would definitely play that game if it was made. Personally, i think they should make games for each member of the Bat Family still centered in Rocksteady's Batman universe like a Nightwing game, a Red Hood game, a Red Robin game, a Catwoman game, even for characters that haven't appeared before like a Batwoman game.
Batwoman game where Killer Moth is the main villain would go hard ngl
@@kendi5391 Definitely would :)
Also a Batgirl game could definitely work as well, with Stephanie Brown taking the mantle and Barbara, as Oracle, would be her mentor.
@@onepresence9460 I'd prefer to play as Cassandra Cain Batgirl and Stephanie as Spoiler.
@@kendi5391 That could also work :)
god please I would absolutely love to see you dive into all of the arkham games and their treatment of the characters especially
the way you mentioned Batman's detective work and not mention BATMAN TELLTALE SERIES IS A CRIME
Okay complete coincidence but when I was thinking of making a vid as a "Battle for the cowl" Arkham game I called it Arkham Legacy too!
I think it'd be cool to see riddler as the major antagonist of one of these games. I think it'd work even better in a prequel. Id love to see what a big full on main story worthy arkham riddler scheme is like.
As a huge fan of hour-long videos on why a piece of art is cool, I'll be down if you did an Arkham retrospective series
one idea i’ve had for a different combat style for Batman is to get RGG Studios to make a Yakuza game with Batman in it, like how they made a Fist of the North Star game (actually have no idea if that game has Yakuza combat tbh)
well, actually my idea is for them to make a Cassandra Cain in Hong Kong game. but that’ll never happen because we just neeeeddddddd a game with Barbara, Dick, Jason, and Tim again!!!!
Someone should create a game where you start out as "robin" (unknown) and then the way you play,options for combat,weapons,upgrades and even gameplay choices and then as the game develops you start growing more towards the known Robins either becoming one or having characteristics from multiple. It could work like ghosts of tsushima for example how your choices would make you become a samurai or ghost like becoming dick or jason (again for example) also that way costumes can be implemented and endgame you could unlock a batman suit specifically tailored towards each robin
Rather than the court, I'd quite like to see something like the Children of Arkham from the Telltale game. A rising of disgruntled workers and poor people targeting Wayne and the other elites of Gotham. You could not only then include the asylum in the game, making it their HQ and letting players revisit the iconic map all these years later, but also have them challenge Batman's identity. Dick may even agree with the Children, based on his own upbringing in the circus, and this story could be why he ends up leaving to become Nightwing
PLEASE make that Arkham retrospective!!!
I would totally watch a super long arkham analysis
And I really like watching those long form videos. I would love to hear your take on the Arkham trilogy, just one game or any long form video about anything
I would absolutely watch you breaking down the Arkham games, also only 4 minutes in so I don’t know if you mention this, but you writing a potential Arkham sequel/ spin-off would also be awesome
I would love a sifu like game where you play as wildcat and you go around the city beating thugs and having cameos of black canary or green arrow
A Wildcat game would go so hard holy shit
What I want to see in an Arkham game is Green Arrow and Black Canary. Instead of Batman and Catwoman. I want a Green Arrow & Black Canary game.
this is me begging you to make a retrospective review of the arkham games where you go super in-depth!
Please do make a super long arkham retrospective
I dont think ive ever seen another in depth review of the arkham games so that would be cool to see
I want a new Batman Arkham game but I want them to actually make Batman a character like in Origins instead of a brick with a frowny face like in all the other ones
Yes, we fucking love super long videos
I think a Batman 1966 game would be fun as a direct contrast to Arkham's series, its flaws have become too much to bear at this point.
6:08 It is not at all a sequel to that dream sequence. It is a direct sequel to Arkham Origins, so open those arms back up
Yeah I’d watch some in depth analyses of the Arkham games!
That hitop films reference at 15:19 caught me so off guard lol
Just to let you know guys what Troy gets wrong is this video is that Rocksteady was never planned to make a Dark Knight video game, other game studios were and at the time EA were tied to doing it. You can find many videos on that all over RUclips about it. Rocksteady was tied to make a superhero video game but when The Dark Knight games stopped being in development they got the green light to make a Batman game. I hope this helps👍🏻
Rocksteady should make a TMNT game.
All they gotta do is make a 2 player co op Batman and robin game
I love the long videos! Please bring us a retrospective on the Arkham games!!!
I haven't had the chance to play Sifu yet because my PS4 broke 3 years ago and my laptop is too bad to run any games, so I'll need a PC before I can ever try it,
BUT
from what I saw it is practically a Spiritual Successor to the Capcom PS2 game "God Hand"
I can highly recommend you giving that game a shot, although Sifu does seem to iterate on it in a couple smart ways and make dealing with multiple enemies at once a lot more fair and comfortable
If we really need another Batman game just make it about Cass, pretty much everyone agrees shes the best candidate to take over after Bruce yet there hasnt been any kind of major media depicting that.
Everyone wanted a Beyond Arkham game, the game Rocksteady was working on using Damian as Batman
7:00 I don’t know, I’m a pretty big fan of when he’s written poorly
Huh.. Why?
@ I’m being sarcastic
@@Tommedian Gotcha
10:24 maybe this is just me, but I wish I got to play that multiplayer, even if it meant being the random henchman that get easily taken down by Batman. Just the novelty of stepping into the shoes of one of the nameless henchman Batman stocks from the shadows and having a fight for my life against the seemingly unstoppable force of Batman sounds incredibly fun
I would so love a batman Arkham retrospective from troyoboyo
i would love to watch a lengthy arkham retrospective!!!!
With the Court of Owls as the main antagonists, we NEED to have a Talon boss fight in a similar vein to Arkham Origins Deathstroke! You could either make it an introductory fight where multiple weaker varients appear in later combat encounters were they're a class of ninja that need to be hit with a special takedown to get them out of the fight completely or have it be the climactic final fight were it's a tag battle with you switching between Batman and Robin as the fight goes on
im not seeing enough appreciation for the edit at 17:15 chat that's one of my favorite clips ever
I am literally begging for a new arkham game. I am such a big DC fan and yet I skipped SSKTJL And Gotham Knights which if you told 15 year old me. I woulda scoffed. I also loved Batgod era hahaha
Honestly, Gotham Knights is 100% worth playing. It's a slow start but if you just rush knighthood for your preferred character, it instantly becomes a really fun game and the story and character dynamics is easily enough to make it worth playing
I love Gotham knights
So you know every time you say "would you watch a video about ____" I say yes.
We NEED a game solely based on nightwing after arkham knight. pLEASE rOcKstEady 😭
13:13 rocksteady.. hire this guy
yes please make an arkham retrospective would love to hear your thoughts on all the games😃
Long form arkham breakdowns please!!!!
id love a retrospective of the old games!!!
I would watch that long Batman video man
just let the series end and start something new
the story was given closure with knight, and you vr plus the new one to fill in the gaps, lets spare this series the nightmare of being kept on constant life support for no reason whatsoever
I haven't played Sifu, but based off your explanation of its combat I feel like you'd like For Honor, it's got that same dodge mechanic but I'm not sure how much it'd scratch that itch otherwise
do the Arkham retrospectives!!! I’d watch them all
Please please please please please make the Arkham games retrospectives please
I have a lot of love for how city made catwoman playable in the open world, it let you break up batmans story and also she plays a lot differently without the glider and traversing the open world feels like a completely different game
If they do make a superman game they should make lobo a dlc playable character, he can’t fly but he can use the bike and his missions are way more of a bullet hell shooter
Court of owls would be cool but its way to early in the timeline for me
I think it would be cool if we got a game in between Origins and Asylum but with Jason Todds Robin. The game would fill in the gaps set up in Knight and giving us some time with Jason Todd would make his reveal in Knight so much more impactful and less spontanius.
I really enjoyed the later games that had sword enemies along knife enemies. They can both be taken down the same way, meaning that you had to vary your timing based on which type was attacking.
Finally, an Arkham Sequel wishlist that isn't just "Basically Akham City again but with MY favorite villain as the main antagonist"
Did try specifically DMC 3? In that game the opening cutscene shows Dante knocking down an enemy and then riding the enemy like a skateboard! And you can actually do that in gameplay!
I played the multiplayer mode on origins with my buddy and I tell ya. The panic in his voice playing as a thug as I glide kicked him as Robin was so funny. We talk about playing the origins pvp mode to this date. It was ridiculously fun. Vise versa him getting to be bane and chasing me down as a thug in the joker gang was terrifying. Good times. I really think WB would be able to put out a good few games in the origins timeline and make fans happy. Rodger Craig Smith Batman meeting and helping Dick through his trauma would be amazing especially with some Grayson missions supported by Alfred making the transition feel comfy. Close the gap with villains that were only ever bios and cameos in the series. If WB would embrace the WBM entry in the series and make origins canon, we could have tons of content for the next 10 yrs ( just based on their release rate)
Arkham shadow is a sequel to Arkham origins
A silly little thing I'd like in a Batman game: A cooking cutscene ala Monster Hunter World. Just imagine Alfred making a delicious meal for Bruce before one of his missions, and Bruce proceeding to eat it like he forgot all of his manners
Did you know originally the nemesis system that the devs made was for a Batman game they were working on. However, whilst working with WB they were asked to change their efforts to work on another massive IP, giving us Shadow of War and Shadow of Mordor. I believe it was a game for The Dark Knight however apparently Christopher Nolan had all say on the content made sharing his universe and decided the Batman Begins game wouldn't have a sequel.
I’ve had the thought of a game like this since I played Arkham knight: a co-op (or single player) game focused on nightwing and robin investigating what red hood is doing in bludhaven while robin finds his identity as a crime fighter without batman (id love for nightwing to have travel like assassins creed parkour and Spider-Man’s acrobatics and robin traveling in a modified version of the Arkham asylum Batmobile)
Troyoboyo, please do a video on what a TMNT Batman Arkham type game would look like. I have so many ideas for gameplay, visual style, character design- all I need is just a good story. I want to save city at war for dlc, and include Return To New York (just without the mutants yet) and NO KRANG. I want it to be a grounded story, like how the game TMNT Out Of The Shadows started with the purple dragons, then moved on to Shredder. Gameplay is mostly like Arkham, but also like the game Sifu. Free flow combat mixed with environmental attacks, plus single and team finishers (like how Insomniac Spiderman did the finishers) and you can do certain button combinations to do different animations. It has strong attacks, light attacks, a jump button (obviously), and a counter button and a projectile throw with the left bumper, the right trigger can be used to actually do your finisher. Please do this!!!
I would love to see u talk in depth bout the Arkham series. Also have u been seeing all the Superman set photos?
A Batman beyond game would be appreciated
15:03 this is why I play on the highest difficulty, button mashing is not an option, at least not in Knight
I want a Terry MCGinnis for Rocksteady to take a different approach on the future neon aesthetic. A Deus Ex & Sifu take on combat and stealth, having Bruce as the mentor: Roger Craig Smiths Batman but older.
I would love a long Arkham retrospective fwiw
I know I am late to this party but I am super excited for Arkham Shadow! I did enjoy seeing the graphics quality of Arkam VR, even if it wasn't so much a game as a story with interactive elements... but this is going to be a full on Arkham game in VR! I am hoping it is able to have the right look and feel, but to be able to play in the Batman sandbox to be IN the game! That is what I love about VR is that it isn't on a screen, but that you are in the world... And the dark brooding Arkham has always had a great appeal.
Also, if you do a search - Ryan Payton - the founder and head of the studio did a whole bunch of interviews when the previous trailers came out... and the most exciting thing is he is a lore nerd! Even the trailers that are out now show so many Easter eggs! I am super excited to see some game play at Gamescom ONL - I only hope the game can match the big shoes and high expectations!
I'm dying for a new Arkham game but anything post Knight would be so weird without Conroy now. I would most like to see a revival of that Arkham Beyond game, as Batman Beyond would work so well in this universe. Maybe Roger Craig Smith could respectfully pull off an older Bruce in that as hes great in Origins
Hey huge fan of your stuff! And no yeah absolutely, I think going either Beyond with Terry/Damian or doing an Arkham Origins 2 that's a sort of semi-reboot with Roger Craig Smith would be ideal, I've never really wanted to see anything post-Knight and it would feel wrong with Conroy.
I want an entire game that is just the multi-player mode from origins, but even better-er.
"Batman: Arkham Syndicates".
Be able to play as Joker and Harley and their gang,as well as Bane, Two-Face, Penguin, maybe even down the line you could also get Mr. Freeze, Scarface, and Mad Hatter.
Have the same thing with Batman and Robin also being in the level, but have an opportunity to instead play as Nightwing, as well as Batgirl, later introducing Red Hood.
Think it would be great to have a large assortment of customization options for the grunts, wide array of skins for the heroes and villains, and potentially increase the size of maps.
Have multiple game modes- example being: deathmatch, King of the hill, bomb, three way fights, four way fights, etc.
crazy idea. Make a Superman game similar to Arkham but set in Belle Reve or maybe the Phantom Zone. Have Superman slightly depowered due to unleashing a Solar flare and slowly getting his powers back. Maybe mix the Death of Superman storyline in there as well and add some lesser-known Superman villains who are universal. Mongul, Preserver, Bizarro, General Zod, Master Jailer etc. Maybe throw in Mxy and Microwave Man as well as the mainstay villains
