I miss the time when talented studios and developers weren't forced to keep working on the same franchises over and over again. I miss the time when a single developer - Rare, for example - would create a new IP simply because they didn't have one genre represented in their catalogue.
Looks rad, do we have confirmation that it's next-gen only yet?

Didn't Rare create a bunch of Donkey Kong and Banjo games?
This iterative bullshit is why I'm so goddamn tired of triple-A productions and can mostly only have fun with indie releases and visual novels nowadays. This industry went in a direction I'm not overly comfortable with.
...
I hope this game is a great title that satisfies those who are looking forward to it. I won't buy it, just as I won't buy the next Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, Battlefield, or whatever. I also hope I'm able to voice my lack of enthusiasm just as much as those who are able to voice their enthusiasm in this thread without being jumped at.
So much for that. Enjoy, I guess.
No mention of PS3 / Xb360 in any of the trailers or marketing material so it's safe to assume its current gen only.
Come on people PS4 - Xbox One are current gen now!
I hear people say that, but I hear no reasons why.
I'm not talking about how the characters are written. I'm talking about the cohesiveness of the sequence of events. I don't understand why Arkham Origins gets more praise than the other entries in that regard. Sure, it has shiny cutscenes, but the actual story was better?
So please, enlighten me.

*tries to make his ipad refresh the Game Informer app*
Digital version isn't showing up on my iPad.
Warner Bros is starting to be a top publisher for me personally. Next gen Batman, the new LOTR game and Netherrealms rumored next title are all at or near the top of my interest list. If they want to produce nothing but top quality licensed games then so be it.
I don't like Harley Quinn in any of them. She's an annoying character.
Co-op with Tim Drake.https://mobile.twitter.com/Andrew_Reiner/status/440875690980679680 Hmmm what could this be..?
The final Arkham game...
Guess we'll be getting that hot reboot next year!
Warner Bros. has the development resources to do more with their DC properties than Disney/Marvel does with their properties. Instead of capitalizing on that, building individual brands with QUALITY games and in return establishing those brands with the public for other forms of media, we'll continue to get big Batman games because why try anything but safe?
Origins story Was not good, lol
Yes. But they also went out of their way all the time to create different proposals and experiences, while nowadays you'd be hard-pressed to find a western studio that works on more than one franchise concurrently... And even more to find one that works on multiple genres concurrently.

WAHH
Wouldn't have been interested in this if it weren't "next-gen" only. Glad it is. Disappointed in CG only trailer. I just don't even watch them anymore.
Everybody is entitled to their opinions.
But it makes little sense (to me) that you would avoid buying a title you yourself hope is great on principle. Indy experiences can be touching and moving, but there's nothing wrong with AAA sizzle and flash from time to time either.
And before you lament workers at Rocksteady being trapped with a franchise - that they created, mind you - understand that studio is stuffed full of Bat-fanatics. I'm sure lots of those guys love working on the Arkham games, trying to create something special.
But yeah, f*** them and this industry.
That's because they're expensive, time-consuming, and manpower-intensive productions. A lot of studios simply don't have the resources to work on more than one game at a time.
Anyone who's sane would go with that order.
If you only look at the titles themselves, sure. However, they are awful in terms of supporting games post-launch when issues arise, especially the cash-grab port jobs they farm out and don't allow the devs to fix issues after release. I think they're as bad or worse than a lot of other pubs people seem to hate.
