Murr Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 With Batman: Arkham City's wildly successfully run the obvious question is what is what will Rocksteady develop next. With Rocksteady riding Batman's coat tails all the way to video game supremacy a number of fans were asking for a Superman game. According to PGN Rocksteady is indeed developing another game, but not with The Man of Steel rather with The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The game is tentatively titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Manhattan Crisis, and is expected to have more of a dark tone than a comedic one. - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Manhattan Crisis is the alleged name of the title. - Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo are the four playable characters, each with their own varied move set and weapon of choice (sword, bo staff, sai, and nunchucku…respectively). - Flashbacks are played as Master Splinter/Hamato Yoshi. - Shurikens, smoke bombs, grappling hooks, and climbing foot spikes. - Gameplay and story/stage progression similar to Batman: Arkham City. - Classic characters such as Bebop and Rocksteady (warthog and rhinoceros), Dr. Baxter Stockman, Shredder (Oroku Saki), and Krang act as bosses and in the case of the humans-turned-mutants, you fight them in both forms throughout the story. - The Turtle Van and Turtle Blimp will be present and with them and other gadgets, the Wii U build is expected to have touch screen controls for specific actions. - Multiplayer is unknown. - Graphics engine used is that of Arkham City. - The game is expected to be more dark than slapstick, but the turtles themselves and their interactions with the Foot Clan, bosses, and story characters like April O’Neil and Casey Jones will still have comedy attached. - Purportedly being in development for Wii U, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. - Careful selection of voice actors to bring the universe to life as well as Rocksteady did with their two Batman games. - Manhattan Crisis shares a similar name to the 1991/1992 NES title, “The Manhattan Project”, but is very much its own title Once again this is only a rumor and has not been confirmed by anyone at Rocksteady. Another rumor that is floating around is that Rocksteady is also only interested in developing another DC character. Source - ComicbookMovie.com & CVG.com WOW. Shame it's only rumor, Would love this to be true.
bryanee Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 It would be very cool but unless Warner Brothers have some kind of deal in place with Nickelodeon (I'm sure they own the TMNT franchise now) then I doubt it.
flameboy Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 This would be awesome but would all the stuff that's being mentioned fit in with the continuity of the latest Nickelodeon CGI series thats due to air this year? Or would they allow this under some weird form of crossover much like Turtles Forever?
Shorty Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 That Smash Bros. style Wii game from 2009 wasn't tied to any license, was it?
f00had Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 I hope this is true, Batman Arkham City with 4 players? Hell yeah
Retro_Link Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 This would be incredibe! Hope we see it at E3!!
dazzybee Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 As good as the batman games but the turtles license? I would be as happy as I was when my dad brought him a pirated copy of the original film before it was released in the cinemas...
soag Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 THIS WOULD BE THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cube Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Would it be pizza instead of the Riddler trophies?
Jimbob Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Would it be pizza instead of the Riddler trophies? How much could they fit into one game??
