Happenstance Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Hopefully they will expand more on Batman's rogue gallery.Boss fights with Mr.Freeze and Clayface would great. And to add insult to injury, in the personnel profile it says that he is a everything you mentioned but in the game he a dimwit that runs into walls. Well at least there was a reason in the first game, he was overloaded with venom to the point where he couldnt really think
Retro_Link Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Freeze is gonna be sweeeeeet.Doesn't take much to better...
Dante Posted December 14, 2009 Author Posted December 14, 2009 The trailer shows four villains Twoface, Penguin, Black Mask & Joker.
ReZourceman Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Awww come on. Thats all well and good, but those aren't villains who would make good video game bosses. Its just like Heroclix, they don't translate well to games.
nightwolf Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 I quite liked the villians in AA, ok so the outfits were alot different than they should have been, but I liked harley quinns nurse outfit, cute! Yeah, otherwise, I hope its not released soon, it'll be utter fail otherwise, tbf AA hasn't been out amazingly long in the first place..

ReZourceman Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 I will fucking hate if this games title has "Arkham Asylum" in it. It should be "Batman : Gotham City" or "Gotham Overrun" or even "No Mans Land" Give the public the benefit of the doubt that they will recognise it as a sequel.
Daft Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 They should call it 'Batman: He's Gonna Beat The Shit Out Of You'.
Dan_Dare Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Mark my words: It's going to be like Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne. Worst. Title. Ever.
or else you will DIE Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 imo there was quite a few sucky things about AA that i didn't like at all. here's hoping that this game will be better. having the joker back doesn't seem like a step in the right direction, even if it is a (surprising) return from mark hamill.

As long as the Joker isn't the main boss, this title should be decent. I mean, how can the creators surpass the original game. It was such a great title.
Dan_Dare Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 There's definitely room for improvement. I'd like to see a bit more fluidity between the different elements of the game. In AA it was abundantly clear that a section was either a puzzle, a fight, a stealth section or a platform stage. If they could make that less obvious and give the player more choice in how to approach a given section- fights you can avoid with stealth or an alternative route, for example, I think the game would be stronger. The original was ace but I thought it lacked replay because it was linear in terms of player choice.
EEVILMURRAY Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Hopefully they will expand more on Batman's rogue gallery.Boss fights with Mr.Freeze and Clayface would great. And actually have the game having "length" not being used to walk slow as fuck to pimpsmack Killer Croc. The Riddler having a more prominent role would be awesome too. And if Mr Freeze is in it, you know we need Arnie's voice.

Ryan Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Second that. I wanted to post the exact same thing, but I forgot to look up the voice actor. Did you find out his name?
Mundi Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 No one I know. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0030516/ That guy is ancient.
EEVILMURRAY Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) oh do get out Yes, because I wasn't being serious at all. You mean you don't find this voice amazingly sinister? The one in The New Batman Adventures blows. I've always liked the voice of Freeze in "The Batman", but I can't seem to find a video of him with the actual voice, all they have are shitty "tributes" playing some song over the footage.

Dude, that's Clancy Brown. The guard from the Shawshank Redemption, also appeared in Lost, Carnivale (the preacher) and... as Eugene Krabs in Spongebob.

Happenstance Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 'Batman: Arkham Asylum 2' to miss 2010? Batman: Arkham Asylum 2 will miss its 2010 release date, according to a report. A senior UK retail source said that it would delay the title until early 2011 to avoid the busy Christmas release period. "We've been told that Warner has acted early to avoid releasing the game into a heavily congested pre-Christmas market," the source told CVG. "It wants to dominate the first quarter of 2011 instead, when it can get maximum retail space and mindshare amongst gamers." Although the title was originally scheduled for this year, a Warner representative said that no release date has been announced. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/news/a216118/batman-arkham-asylum-2-to-miss-2010.html Probably a good idea, id like the game to get as much attention as possible
McPhee Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Yeah, because it worked for so many titles this year. Seriously though, good luck to them. Arkham Asylum was fantastic and it's a real shame that it didn't sell as well as the bigger releases over Christmas.
Daft Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Over Xmas? It came out the end of August. It sold over two million copies in the first three weeks.
Ellmeister Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 After watching the trailer, I've finally started playing Batman Darkham Asylum! Its awesome.
