Now I'm a big fan of the [i]Arkham[/i] series, Asylum and City were great. Origins looks like it will be good too, but for some reason I can't shake this feeling of it just being... more of the same. I know it's not really a valid reason since they can't really change the combat and movement, but... meh.
So anyway yeah how do you feel about Arkham Origins? Are you looking forward to it? Not really feeling it?

I must say, the new detective mode looks godly. If it is used correctly, and consistently, it may well be the best game addition of 2013.

Ill pick up the GOTY edition (assuming it gets one)

Arkham City was also more of the same, and that was good. In terms of change, as far as I can tell, Origins is to City as City was to Asylum. Bigger play area, a few new features, little worse narrative, overall still jam packed with Batmanny goodness fanservice. Only gripes I have are: -Joker is in the game -Batman's voice

Edited by Obsric: 6/23/2013 2:57:36 PMI understand what you mean - and kudos for recognising your argument is based on your opinion. The new studio could make a difference (for better or worse), you'd assume the combat is tighter and detective mode is improved. I think the biggest problem they'll face is that: (A REAL 'ARKHAM CITY' SPOILER TO FOLLOW) [spoiler]it will be close to impossible to top the death of the Joker. Such an amazing gaming moment.[/spoiler]

Edited by Trollheim: 6/23/2013 1:43:59 PMAs long as the boss fights are consistently good. The Abramovici twins kind of felt lazy and Solomon Grundy was pretty boring to me; hopefully Arkham Origins is better about this.

Edited by Palien90: 6/23/2013 1:14:06 PMI know[i] exactly[/i] what you mean, but seeing as how I love AC and can replay it over and over again I don't think I mind something that is so similar. edit: As for the "why does he have more advanced tech if its a prequel?" In AA he was under equipped and only had access to a stripped down Batcave and in AC Bruce had no intention of doing anything in that game. He was kidnapped and forced to make do with an extra batsuit and scarce supplies.

I don't like it being a prequel to Arkham Asylum; that's the only thing I find wrong with it so far.
-
Im not feeling it much either. It looks too similar to AC. Reserving judgement at the moment..

That looks like a gameplay video from Arkham City. As long as the story is good I'm set though, because I already know I'll like the gameplay, even if it [i]is[/i] more of the same.
