No rocksteady, no mark hamill. I'm not sure if it will be able to reach the bar set by them.

Detailed writeup by Eurogamer:
Batman: Arkham Origins announced for PC, PS3, Wii U and Xbox 360 • News • Eurogamer.net

Origins is the next game in the Arkham series, and follows the release of Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, according to a report by GameFocus.

Those games were developed by Rocksteady. Origins is made by WB Games Montreal. Origins is set several years before the previous Arkham games, and sees the player assume the role of a younger Batman who meets many of the series' iconic characters for the first time.

The game world will be approximately twice as big as it was in Arkham City. The north half of Origins' map will be similar to the setting of Arkham City, although it won't have giant prison walls surrounding it and Amusement Mile won't be flooded. There will also be more Christmas decorations, giving it a sort of Batman Returns vibe.

The south half of the map will be New Gotham, which is described as a classier part of town with more skyscrapers. Given the larger setting, players will be able to move about faster thanks to the Batwing offering a mode of fast travel. Players will need to dismantle hacked towers that emit jamming signals though before they can fly to certain regions.

While most of Batman's combat and stealth techniques will be familiar to those who played earlier games in the series, one of his new toys is the "remote claw," which allows players to shoot two targets, then pull them towards one another. This will be useful for stringing foes up, bounding two of them together at once, or making large object crash into thugs. You can also use the remote claw to set up slick traps, like dangling an explosive barrel from a perch, then luring guards under it with a sonic batarang.

Love the new suit, looks more practical and seems to have taken a lot of inspiration from Nolan's and Injustice's Batman, and even the new52 comics' Superman

fully functional city?? :-D

now that'll definitely pump up the atmosphere, eagerly awaited..

Looks great! The suit is also nice

Waiting for it to come out now

Wow the new look in real nice.

J

I just hope the gameplay feels as solid as AA and AC. Bit worried as this is not being developed by rocksteady. But hope WB monreal can deliver. Suit looks awesome.

H

The folks at WB Montreal did develop Hulk: Ultimate Destruction which was a ton of fun. I don't think it will be a turd but I'm not sure it can reach the bar set by Rocksteady either.

I've updated the OP with more information about the game.

wonder how game play will change from shift to new studio. RockSteady was spot on with the control mechanics and free flow style of fighting as well as level design. Love both the Batman games. I seriously hope WB doesn't crap this series trying to make a lot of sequels in quick succession.

They are using Rocksteadys custom Unreal Engine and keeping the free flow mechanics, so it shouldn't change much. I won't have much of a problem with annual releases as long as they have multiple high caliber studios working on their own Arkham game for 2 - 3 years, a la Assassins Creed.

rajnusker said:

Yup. No point in botching the sales for one platform by delaying its release.

Awesome news :hyper:

Back in Arkham City, the game had huge skyscrapers in the background which can only be accessed through a glitch(youtube it). Looking at the new info, they clearly say the game world is divided into two parts, Gotham old and new. So I'm guessing WB montreal are going to take Arkham City and re skin the hell out of it and add the gotham content. So consider it an expansion.

there will be fast travel as well using the Bat-wing....well we can't control it...but still

I just hope they don't screw this up...it would be gr8 to have some action sequences using the bat-mobile and bike

...can't wait :hyper:

More details on BAO

Assassinating Batman in Arkham Origins - IGN

Players will not only see a much more skeptical and potentially hostile Gotham City Police Department (aka the 'GCPD', which happens to feature a young Captain Jim Gordon), but younger and healthier versions of big bad guys like the Penguin - who apparently didn't always have the tail end of a glass bottle shoved in one eye.

While the Montreal studio was free to develop its plot and new feature (like a 'Remote Claw', which allows you to target and pull two objects together), it leaned on Rocksteady for advice on technical and mechanical elements of the game.

Another new feature - quick travel via the airborne Batwing. Though not a controllable vehicle, Arkham Origins will finally eliminate one of the more tedious elements from Asylum and City, allowing Batman to move from point to point much faster than before - - provided he dismantles towers that jam his ability to call in his plane. (Unlike, say, Far Cry 3, these tower sequences will require a wide variety of skills and powers, including some that will have to be unlocked first.) It's a good thing Montreal is providing the Dark Knight with a quick method of transport - WB Montreal contends that Origins is nearly twice the size of Arkham City, adding an entirely new island, called 'New Gotham', to build upon the more familiar 'Old Gotham', which will still feature familiar locations like Amusement Mile and The Bowery.

The Montreal team intends to maintain the same world "density" despite doubling its size, adding ideas like 'Crime in Progress' (assist the GCPD and build your reputation) and 'Most Wanted' (track down non-assassin villains). In many cases these side quests will provide the upgrades to Batman's arsenal. These upgrades, combined with the game's existing XP system, funnel into the larger concept of the 'Dark Knight' system, which is basically the team's way of progressively adding more complexity and difficulty to Origins.

Too many changes in the gameplay. I hope that it pays off positively.

'Gasmic. Dayum.

Wish I was Batman. [iKnorite, kiddish, but hell.]

Since it is named Origins - Maybe we can see "Batman without his mask" (for the first time in Arkham series) in BAO.

Batman won't be Batman without his mask.
He won't wear the suit without the mask; it will be silly

Not the entire game without his mask..

Since it's named as ORIGINS - There should be a story of him to tell "Why he became Batman". (I mean the intermediate part - FROM where he lost his parents TO the day he became Batman). Get my drift?

But Spiderman did it. Oh wait. Nevermind. It would be silly.

@gearbox it deals with his early days as Batman. Best case, we get to see Bruce Wayne. There is no way we will see Batman without a mask.

I should've said BRUCE WAYNE's face. "Batman without the mask" caused confusion..

Gearbox said:

at the start of Arkham City Bruce Wayne can be seen without his mask. or you mean something else? though his face was not 100% clear.

Gearbox said:

We play as Bruce Wayne, we see Bruce Wayne in Bat suit(without mask) in Arkham City. Its not the first time. Btw, this isn't the origin story of Batman, but his early encounters with lot of the villians and the first one with Joker

Gearbox said:

You play as Bruce Wayne in the very beginning of Arkham City.

I loved batman arkham city. I do hope that this game lives up to my expectation.

Ye. This suit should've been in the previous games and that should've been in this. It's like he had better tech and no experience and somehow decided experience > tech. LOL. :-D

Or, this wasn't flexible enough.

Finally! a TDK like Bat-Suit!

Ok some more interesting news:

Kevin Conroy Won’t Reprise His Role In Batman: Arkham Origins, Additional Details Surface

Its bad that the best voice actor of batman won't be around but with convincing reasons. Since this is an origin story featuring a much younger self of batman, a younger voice actor had to be roped in.
Its still unknown at this point exactly who that is. Check below for some interesting facts to know how this game is shaping into:

From GameMasters UK Senior Producer Ben Mattes explains:

The Batman of Arkham City is Batman 5.0. He will punch out a guy without looking at him knowing exactly how many teeth he’s just fractured just from the feeling from his knuckles. Our Batman is version 0.9.
Expect every boss encounter to be different
We [ WB Games Montreal ] really believe that we’ve made the coolest version of Deathstroke [in any media]. He’s a wonderful counterpart to Batman
Making Batman scary again is important. Thugs are in absolute awe of Batman, debating whether or not he’s even human
Two game features were abandoned because they didn’t live up to previous Arkham games. (1) Robotic drones that would hunt Batman were axed because the developers decided that Batman shouldn’t spend the whole of the predator sections on the defensive. (2) Gusts of wind from the dynamic weather system which would force thugs to stand still and cover their eyes made it to difficult for players to control Batman ( snowy rooftops made him slip ). Mattes said that they cut it because it “sucks”.

From GameMasters UK Senior Producer Ben Mattes explains:

Batman is impulsive, overconfident as he still has to encounter an opponent on par with his strength. He is clever but does not think of everything, for example when interrogating a thug he can be dominated by violence and stun the thug before getting the information he wanted. The major difficulties he will have to deal with in the game will have a strong impact on his psychology and will make him change to the more realist and stoic Batman from the previous games.
Rupert Thorne is mentioned (as well as Falcone)
Some of the 8 assassins will be side missions, and we will not be finished with them from the first encounter.
Unlocking location for the Batwing is a whole side mission : an unknown hacker has jammed the radio system and Batman needs to restore it.
New combat move : Batman can rush toward an enemy while knocking another one on his path.
Freeze boss fight from Arkham City is the main model for Origins boss fights.

Imo, its shaping up extremely well.

That's it. This game's a winner. I loved the thug conversations more than anything in Arkham City.

Yeah everythings peachy but this is absolute bollocks- "Batman is impulsive, overconfident as he still has to encounter an opponent on par with his strength. He is clever but does not think of everything, for example when interrogating a thug he can be dominated by violence and stun the thug before getting the information he wanted. The major difficulties he will have to deal with in the game will have a strong impact on his psychology and will make him change to the more realist and stoic Batman from the previous games."

If there is one thing batman is not,that is impulsive -__- Even with all his rage,scary factor and bone breaking,he is always in control. As in his mind is always calm and to say he doesn't think of everything is the stupidest statement of the century. Batman has a plan A,B,C,D,....Z and backup plans for all A,B,C,D,...Z plans. Even during his early years,he was never out of control because of his anger(Year one). I get where the developers are coming from with this approach. That he is a young batman who hasn't faced any challenges but I reiterate,he was always in control,young or not. But this is just plain stupid.

Everything else sounds top notch though. Specially the "We want to make batman scary" part.

Yep,gotta love that

Yep he is. Even the New 52 range highlights his lack of backup plans and his overconfidence. In an issue, Bats is so overconfident that he thinks Joker could never kidnap Nightwing, Robins, Batgirl and Red Hood, and goes on a hunt in Gotham. But the exact opposite occurred. He didn't have any backup plans.

But since it's Batman, the writer Snyder, made Joker kidnap the co. in one of Batcave's caves. So Batman immediately had a plan. So much for his impulsiveness. :batman:

And also read The Dark Knight Returns, even though he's a lot older from the rest of the comics, he's fed up of the criminals and almost does shyt.

And damn, can't wait to fight with Deathstroke. The suit looks terrific!

J

Yeah well thats the new 52 for you. -_- And I have read dark knight returns where he is a grumpy old grandpa(well almost). And also, trust snyder to take away all the depth from the character that morrison's will have till batman inc.13
After that snyder and others will probably take him back to fight mob boss no. 123456 again and again -_-

Anyway,as long as the game is well made,I won't have too much of an issue with this.

Teaser did tease me x.x Damn that fight. reminded me of ra's al ghul fight vs batman from batman begins

@nvidiageek No mate, kind of hard coping up with so many universes and superheroes at the same time

Haven't read too much of aquaman in any case I'm afraid.

The reason why I like morrison's batman run so much is because he destroyed the archetype of the grumpy always batman bit by bit. He took him away from the batman vs mob villain number 123567 and introduced a much more interesting take on batman. And I am a big fan of psyche and messed up stuff so it was just more appealing to me

So, there's even-improved freeflow fighting system!!

nice teaser , preordered it

But, Batman = grumpy, give little shyt about himself (and/or others). And yeah, I'm a fan of messed up stough (suggestion: Swamp Thing). I highly recommend Black Mirror by Snyder, if you haven't already read it.

J

^ I am sorry. Its not grumpy. Thats a character trait(I am talking about the bruce batman here,not grayson or damian). I meant being a d**chebag. Even in dark knight returns he is pretty much a d**che. -_- And for too long that has been abused to the extent that it had become a monotone and singular approach to the character.I meant morrison broke away that aspect bit by bit and introduced a more varied and interesting angle to the character. I enjoyed the swamp thing. And I have read black mirror. Its not bruce batty though.I always liked grayson as batman as well. He is not as "powerful" in his fighting as bruce is,but his detective skills are epic and damn nice acrobatic maneuvers.

P.S:- Loved the teaser

Should be epic .

*Phew* Now, this game's Arkham City equivalent or better.

HOLEI SHIIEE**! F8ckin' awesome! Man, this looks better than AC. Can't wait to pwn Bats' arse with Deathstroke, if that's how it is. I'm liking how the villains are fighting with themselves for the Bat. Also, Batman got noob'd by the bomb, shows he isn't prepared. Goodness, people, goodness.

Seems like there's gonna be another Arkham 3 game by Rocksteady. Kevin isn't returning to this.

Kevin Conroy joins Twitter, clears up 'Batman: Arkham Origins' confusion - Batman News

Well, more of Batman, more of merriness.

And no Kevin Conroy in this one. But he is working on an Arkham game, which pretty much confirms that rocksteady is working on another batman game

Batman will be voiced by "Roger Craig Smith" who was Ezio's (AC2) voice actor. He has potential to voice the dark knight & since this is an origin story with a younger and naive batman, the gruff voice of kevin conroy would have been a misfit.

Kevin conroy seems to be having a different role in origins, maybe voice another character. Its referred in his Wikipedia page that he's working in "Origins" but in an unknown role.

Kevin Conroy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kevin Conroy May Be In Arkham Origins After All - IGN

This leaves us with three possibilities. Either Conroy is present in Origins in a framing sense, providing the voice of an older Batman reflecting on his youth, or he's providing the voice of another character in the game, or he's talking about the next-generation Batman: Arkham game speculated to be in development.

That said, the new arkham game is kind of confirmed by conroy and it will probably run the all new and shiny unreal engine 4 in next-gen consoles.

I just realized, he lost the underwear, practical suits ftw!

He also portrayed "Joel" in The last of us.
Extremely talented and versatile voice actor.

Roger craig smith has also done a fabulous job in portraying a younger dark knight.

Nolan North reprises his role as Penguin from arkham city. And guess what , he's the voice behind Nathan Drake from uncharted trilogy!!!!.

Cool share. Though I'm a little skeptical about the combat. It looks to be lacking the energy from B:AA or AC's combat.

I seriously cannot wait for this game. (I hope they're making a JL game at Rocksteady. :X)

They've slowed the combat animations, which makes it look like its lacking energy to me. Who knows, I could be wrong and it might grow on me

They haven't added much new things other than just cosmetic changes I guess... I might be wrong :/

I am the night concept sounds interesting. I have often thought about how it would be if you only had one life in a game. Surely it would be difficult in games like COD/battlefield or even max payne for that matter. Will try playing the game in this mode

IMO its the same anyway. You die and you load a save, SIMPLE.

J

I hope its not like that. There should be the normal modes which allow us to load saves etc. And this mode should have just one life throughout. That would be more of a challenge.

Ofcourse there should be a larger health bar

I hope this game is worth the 1.5k :twisted:

and doesn't turn out to be overhyped like Bioshock Infinite

You know what I did with Arkham City? Torrent the game, finish off the story mode asap. That would give me a good idea about the entire game, like optimization or bugs etc and not just the story or gameplay. And then when the price goes down below 1K, buy it

You know what I did with Arkham City? Torrent the game, finish off the story mode asap. That would give me a good idea about the entire game, like optimization or bugs etc and not just the story or gameplay. And then when the price goes down below 1K, buy it

If MP is any good, I'll buy it when it's still populated.

That was probably my biggest mistake . I wanted to buy arkham city GOTY . But played the ahem version at the time of release which completely ruined my game , no dx11 support , crashes , bug , fps dop , loading time etc . When GOTY version came , i got it from steam , but even though all problem was resolved with patch , playing a story driven game 2nd time greatly decrease the enjoyment level . The experience was not that great :cry:

When these SP driven game introduce mp , chances are that it will not be popular or good with few exception like Assassin creed series whose mp is addictive and very popular . Tomb raider MP was crap and Even on day 1 , it was hard to find people playing mp . Terrible experience .

theserpent said:
I hope this game is worth the 1.5k and doesn't turn out to be overhyped like Bioshock Infinite

If you are unsure , buy the game after seeing review , Though i expect 9s and 10s from reviewer . And bioshock was worth the hype for me .

Yeah, still with later patches games are playable with good settings.

Doesn't really matter to be honest, the first two arkham games haven't got any continuity in the story, except for the ending of AC. AO is more like, just another "AWESOME" Batman game in the Arkham series

Well there are several mentions of what you did to Joker in AA about Titan in AC.

When I first read the title, I thought it'd be like Watch_Dogs (*www.sherv.net/cm/emo/sad/crying.gif), but learnt that it was pushed a week or so and I went *pfft*.

Watch_Dogs was my GTAV PC game. Dayum.

Well I am enjoying it real slow.

My first playthrough was clocked at 8~9 hours, second was 16 hours, the third was/is 28 hours (along with others, so...). Went searching for easter eggs, funny posters and of course, Riddlah trophies.

Spent an hour or so, as Catwoman, doing nothing with my hands but only me eyes. Don't know whether that adds to the playthrough clock. o_o

^ You sure you weren't doing anything with your hands?

No if game is very good then it doesn't get boring.

That depends, if you are an expert of the game then you can start with highest difficulty, if you are not then normal is fine.

Games like Arkham City, yes. Dark Souls, hell-f***in'-no.

Dark Souls....Boy I can't play that game on normal. Let alone hard.

This game delay will surely increase the piracy, since the game is releasing on 25th except in europe where it will release 2 week later. I dont think, many people will be patient enough to wait for their retail copy, but i guess that steam version is not delayed .

Dark souls was incredibly tough even in normal mode -_- Interesting game though. You have to even think before saving

Sadly I didn't have the patience to play it all over again in hard mode. Gave up after 4-6 hours in hard mode.
Heard demon souls was even tougher.

Still hoping for that "I am the night" mode in arkham origins

Watch 17 Minutes of 'Batman: Arkham Origins'

Gameplay and atmosphere is better than ever. Voice acting is brilliant.

Bagged a job there, and i won't be in a condition to buy a desktop instantly. Can't carry my existing one too.

All i would be having is an 11.6 inch Asus ultra-thin with a celeron dual core 1007U. Won't be able to play it anytime soon.

As long as they get the game they'd want to play. Critics' mindset works very differently, most of them are praising the game except for the 'same game again' aspect, funny thing is most of them don't talk about that aspect for the call of duty games. May be we should call it, over judging, you know...just for the sake of finding faults in the game

True, that also shows how calculating the critics can be, lot of them sound like a check list instead of an opinion.

gameranand said:

Possible, may be with a few reviewers. Best assumption is, the fear of getting blacklisted by a publishing giant like Activision.

Nevertheless, saw some gameplay videos before and it looks very promising. As for now busy with BL2 and Batman AC, which is actually a good thing as I don't have to buy this game anytime soon.

cyborg47 said:

+1

they are praising the story so can't wait to play the game :-D

J

I looked up the intro and about 20 mins of gameplay. Its interesting. I felt the intro was a bit too fast. They could have spend just a little bit more time on the intro to set the mood. But rather,they almost narrated what the situation was and threw the player in the game immediately. Pacing could have been a bit better. But will reserve judgement till I get to play and complete the game.
Good thing they kept the combat aspect untouched

N

Heard this game has better-than-comics story and the same gameplay mechanics from AC.

Just HOW THE F**K IS THAT BAD?

Also, LOLing hard @ the comment made by theserpent. Cancelled because of the reviews? Only major bad thing about this game is that it plays like AC? Don't we all love AC?

Nope, it seems that he had his pre-order cancelled already, and he's glad he did after looking at the reviews.

The TL;DR is that it is a massive step down from Arkham City and feels like it was made just to take advantage of the Arkham name. Its not worth the money.

Yes, the frame rates are higher compared to what I get in Arkham City, some indoor locations get a bit sluggish though (maybe I have Physx on).

Edit:

Batman: Arkham Origins utilizes four threads/cores

Now I think I know why it's working better.

BTW, there seem to be some bugs regarding graphics - the game works fine when I play on max settings, on lower settings it crashes after a few minutes.

Holy crap, you've gone that far already? I didn't realize that you placed the order too. Really sorry about it

anyone playing this game?

I have started playing it , good thing is it run better than arkham asylum , game is running on ultra setting with the exception of msaa set to 2x with decent 40+ fps . Combat is solid , but right now i haven't seen any new feature that were not there in AC . Even the combats are pretty same . Nevertheless , game is very impressive .

Please, elaborate. How is it a step-down? Because the game mechanics are same as AC? Is that a step-down? Don't tell me the story's bad, it's one of the best Batman stories, much better than AC and equal to Arkham Asylum's. Batman is more badarse than in AC (IDK why, he's a rookie and he's more badarse

), some new enemies brings something fresh, the detective mode is a HUGE improvement (although easy, it's good to look at and makes you feel more Batman-y). Voice acting is great, Batman's actor did a great job, so did others. And lifeless city? It's because of a winter storm and f**k tons of criminals on the loose.

Since Arkham City achieved the best of Batman, there's little room of improvement in that area. Now if Rocksteady makes another solo Batman game, it'll not be as great as AC felt (just like Assassin's Creed series after ACII).

This game is NOT a step-down from AC, it's not an improvement either. It's on the same level.

Hoping Rocksteady's doing something more than a solo Batman game. I want DCU in video games now.

I am surprised how well this game is running on my pc. Arkham city gave me some lag with physx on low and everything on ultra. But surprisingly I am getting 45 to even 60 fps at times even with medium physx on(I know I know,I have an amd card and so its not totally the real thing).
Some bugs and glitches are really annoying though. Like sometimes while gliding you can't grapple onto the simplest of platforms -_-

I can't say it's a stepdown, because Batman itself learning how to be a superhero-cum-vigilante in this prequel.
Previous Arkham series, introduced Batman as a greatest detective/fighter right from the start.

the cgi movies are well made...will start this game soon

Initial Impression watching my friend playing the game

Everything is polished [yes it needs to be at this age]
New Villians
New combos added I guess [Needs to be unlocked]
Audio and Voice are better

Major critique are mainly bugs, same feeling like AC and some arseh**es say the story is bad.

Also Batman's utility belt is limited. He equips those gadgets which are necessary for taking down a specific guy. Maybe that's why he has different gadgets every time, in comics, movies, cartoon, everywhere.

OMG lots of glitches in this game man very disappointed

J

Finished the game. The story was pretty good actually. And the pace picked up towards the end,to epic proportions. Loved the exchange of emotions/development of characters between joker,alfred,batman,gordon,harley quinn etc. I am itching to spell out which parts I liked the most but can' do so because of spoilers

However,there are so many bugs in this game -_- The burnley comm tower,counter sign not showing up at times,batman not being able to counter in the mid of another move(unlike the games),grapple bug. But overall,the story makes up for a lot. I really liked the story.And the game is very,very well optimised. Runs smooth.
8/10 for me

-2 for ripping off even simple basic animations from rocksteady, copying certain themes from rocksteady(can't spell out.spoilers), and ofcourse,bugs. The music is another gripe. It could have been much better at certain places.

Rocksteady gave FULL access to WB Montreal to access their Arkham series assets.. It's not ripping off.

It is the most bug ridden game I've ever seen.

Bird Side Mission

I was asked to investigate a gang fight, defeated all of them but there was no prompt to interrogate the last enemy, reloaded and defeated all of them again and it finally appeared. Then there was another fight I had to deal with, defeated all of them and again no interrogate prompt; I thought reloading just like last time would work but there is no gang fight and no one to be interrogated.

yeah one of the tower is bugged but was fixed with a patch . there is video which shows to pass that glitch .

Well its not new for these developers to release a half cooked game for PC specially in Optimization department. They have a history of screwing up PC Gamers so I would just wait for a year until all the patches have been released and then I'll finally buy and play the game and I guess by that time prices will also be on my favor.

If only they would have added some new combos , or hitting thugs using environment , or maybe blood ? , this would have been my fav game of 2013 after last of us and bioshock . I have just completed arkham city last month , so its not that fun to hit the same combo again and again in this game .

Meanwhile, there's news around that Rocksteady is preparing for a 2014 release of their new Batman game

N

^That's obvious. We knew this game was a filler (& people, this IS A GREAT game), my only wish is that that game be something more than a solo Batman game.

Next game should have the car and bike. :-D

Reboot or crossover? Batman:Arkham series is the best superhero game, ever produced.

You mean Batman riding in Batmobile, chasing villains? :mrgreen:

Ha ha nice idea

Yeah. Open world stuff

Arkham City and Origins is also open world. But just imagine... Mild traffic, Batman with his batmobile.
And imagine the option of detaching the bike from your Batmobile.. Nolan's Batman like stuff

Guys, if anyone can upload the save game after defeating Bane, I'd be very grateful.

Second update resolved everything. First update resolved multi player issues. Sometimes I had to restart from checkpoint twice or so. I think that's annoying. Let someone comment on this

I am not able to play this game see here *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/gamerz/179408-batman-arkham-origins-crashing.html

yes while diving down into the Bowery Greenhouse , the floor sometimes gets replaces with water (!!!) making batman embarrassed landing down to river...lol , until it became an investigation spot later on the floor solidified ...no bug after that.

^Hey, while you're at it, when you defeat Bane, please share the save file.

^^ok sure will

Started the game,Amazing combat style..But a really sad objective menu

Reached till Level 1 of Hotel ... Bane fight is right around the corner ...

I will post my rating after completion .

This game is worth playing just for the boss' fights. The camera angles for the fights are damn best.

I struggled a lot on AC for getting riddler's trophy but its so easy here.

Game crash?

^Nothing like that. I just lost my save.

Sorry ... I forgot to copy the save file elsewhere and completed the game ... My bad , sorry . But this should help you : *gamegifted.blogspot.in/2013/10/batman-arkham-origins-save-game.html . The Bane Fight is in end part of - Gain Access to Penthouse , you should try that or the next level save file.

Well , The game was awesome , the fight were repetitive in the middle section like there are 10 goons with some gargoyles up , some vents below . The Story was Very good , the voice acting was average nothing too dramatic . The fighting system was very good again , and the boss fight were amazing and as someone already mentioned the camera angles in boss fight , I wont go much into its detail but yeah they were very good . All in all a must play game for any batman / superhero fan or someone which is a fan of action-adventure genre .

Well I dont generally rate games but this should be about 8-8.5 ish /10

Well, dang it. Also I've visited the site you mentioned the moment I lost my save. Turns out I gotta do a fu**ing survey to download.

Guys..I'm stuck in the mission,where you first have to take down the snipers and then everyone else..Any tips?

^ You checked the walkthrough?

I'm stuck in the Locate BlackMask mission with a glitch. First there is no waypoint for the mission objective. However i read in steamcommunity and other walkthroughs that its on the rooftop on a building near the Lacey Tower. Batman need to swing atop one of the gargoyles and then swing down the rooftop with "three guards"and a Relay on it. defea the guards and the crytpo will pick up a signal. but whenever i go to that rooftop or near it, i can see any of the gurads, neither my crypto picks any isgnal...what to do? anyone any help please?

N

^Post a screenshot(s) of it.

^^ here are two snaps

as you can see the rooftop with satellite disk is totally empty, no cops nothing !!!

^ try restart from check point. Did u install 2nd patch

@amjath , if such trivial effort would have solved it , i wdnt have posted it here. The game is fully patched, and also restarting from checkpoint actually restarts the game from right where i were just before gliding up lacey tower, no use. its just a few seconds away. if anyone have any save game near this point please mail me at oracle_titans2006@yahoo.co.in

This game is for 10$ on origin us... Is it worth buying??

Do u have any other missions to finish if so finish and come back you'll find some one on roof top. I dont have the game [uninstalled] right now so can't help much

^^did that too, confronted anarchy and finished the mission. came back to lacey towers and still the same case.

any save games fellas? before of after this..will do, i really dont want to start a new game for this stupid glitch and who knows next time it might occur as well!

N

^lol, I was waiting for your save file after the Bane fight. Look how things have turned.

Thanks. Will download them then. They are pretty good.

completed the game

nice story

Boss fights are awesome

Started new year by playing Batman and Death stroke fight exactly at 12

Cool... I hope it's a winning start :-D

Actually defeated him after 3 tries

R

One of the best Batman game for sure. And it is optimized for PC too, I can max it out with HD6870.

Only the Deathstroke fight gave some challenge, other fights were pretty easy compared to it. The finishing was pretty dumb, I was thinking with a good fight with joker! Instead some mouse clicks, done!
The game was great still, and yes, optimisation, it was brilliant. Frames hardly dropped.

Am I the only one, who thinks that AO does a lot of things better than AA or AC did? I found this game structured very well, better combat and the obviously brilliant boss fights. Batman has more 'character' this time, than just being the usual 'generic' Batman we all know.

Arkham city boss fights were huge and good too...specially the one with Ra's All Ghul

after playing AO the size of AC feels so small

thats right

AO is better than AC
better story ,boss fight

snap said:

Probably because the map is huge now and also the combat and bid fights have improved

Started B:AO. He's so raw. I can feel it..

Same here dude. Boss fights were just amazing. But overall the story of AA and City was better.

Much better Batman than in AC.

Started this game...
Graphics is good but not much better than Arkham City
till now gameplay feels smooth
Defeated Killer Croc
slow motion camera angles of AC was better

Anybody completed the Initiation DLC?

Q: Did u get all upgrades?
