"The sequel you never saw coming." - Mark Hamill at the VGAs

Just announced in the VGAs. The sequel to Arkham Assylum is coming.

Arkham Asylum 2 isn't the official title, they didn't announce that. sad Just needed something to title the thread with. smile

Morridini
No surprise there.

Too bad Hamill didn't win voice of the year though.

Scythe
Haha, assylum.

Mandrag Ganon
Apologies. embarrasment

I knew it was coming, just didn't see it being announced today.

Dark Khan...stick out tongue

First_Tsurugi06
I know it was only a teaser trailer, but didn't Mark Hamill say that Arkham was his last time voicing Joker officially? You really think there are chances we're gonna see Joker again? It wouldn't hurt to see Harley in her little nurse/schoolgirl/dominatrix hybrid uniform again droolio

I'd kill for Ra's al Ghul to make an appearance

NOOOOOO! RAAAAAAGE! laughing out loud I was more-so thinking along the lines of Darkseid or Lex Luthor in a Superman game, though if Dark Khan were the exclusive PS3 character, I could care less, and it would be good for me since it would make the 360 version look less gay... stick out tongue

It would make sense too, considering his body disappeared from that bag in the first game after beating Titan Joker.

Would also love Two-Face to make an appearance... and not just robbing a bank.

Ridley_Prime
Also, since no one posted it yet.

Seems Joker's actually back, but Hamill can't still be voicing him can he?

Kazenji
With that trailer is it me or has the black circles around Joker's eyes gotten bigger?

Ridley_Prime
I reckon it's a lasting effect of that Titan stuff he previously injected himself with.

He generally looks like he is in poor health in this trailer. His skin looks blotched.

Who gives a shit? Well, I do, I mean, I want Hamill to voice him again, but that's beside the point. The Joker's returning, fool stick out tongue. Though he isn't as impressive as the DCAU or the Dark Knight version imo, this version is still good.


Also hope K.Conroy returns, though he should, since he's liek teh bestest VA evar!

Yeah, and Harley (with the same guise from the first Arkham Asylum) was shown barely on the left side of the chair. Looks like you got your wish, First_Tsurugi06.

Originally posted by Demonic Phoenix

Likely a result of that Titan stuff from earlier as I said before. I mean, did you see how he looked at the end of the first game when Batman reversed the Titan effect on him? stick out tongue

Originally posted by Demonic Phoenix

Same. I don't think anyone should voice the Joker over Hamill, especially not the wannabe who voiced him in MKvsDC (that Joker was gay though. So was the one from The Batman series, but that's beside the point).

Originally posted by Demonic Phoenix

True. I'm hoping he's not the main antagonist yet again though like he was in the first Arkham Asylum. Ra's al Ghul or someone else should be given a chance IMO.

Originally posted by Demonic Phoenix

True. I don't see why he wouldn't return... And if all else fails, you could have him be voiced by none other than Bale. haermm

Indeed so. laughing out loud Haha.

Also, because of the three alternate endings from the first game, I guess we can expect to see Bane, Scarecrow, and the Killer Croc again, yes? beer In which case, I hope they don't make the boss fight with Croc like it was in the first game. sick

And maybe this time we'll see Freeze in all his ice-pun glory too!

It would be cool to see Ra's, Jane Doe and Catwoman.

Not to mention Prometheus. At least, I want to see him now after reading his bio/profile from the first Arkham Asylum.

"Story:
A dark reflection of Batman, Prometheus was raised by criminals, who were gunned down by policemen right in front of him. Dedicating his life to destroying the lay, Prometheus traveled the world and trained in the ways of murder. Clad in an armored suit that maximizes his natural skills, he is a master assassin whose physical and mental abilities rival Batman's own.

Facts:
Real Name: Unknown
Occupation: Professional Criminal
Base of Operations: Gotham City
Eyes: Brown
Hair: White
Height: 6 ft
Weight: 180 lb
First Appearance: Prometheus #1 (December, 1997)

Attributes:
> Pathological need to kill law officers
> Trained to peak physical and mental levels
> Arsenal of weapons and deadly gadgets"

Me too. That'll be the only way they can redeem the Croc encounter from the first game...

Zack Fair
Best news so far. This is worthy of a sequel and I agree with having a better croc fight.

Ridley_Prime
Also, they should have him say "I'll peel the flesh from your bones" and crap like that less often. I remember him having better lines than that in even the animated series stick out tongue (or at least The Batman).

BloodRain
Needs better boss battles, seemed to be lacking a bit, thought it is a more 'detective' game Batman needs to have some epic fights. Looking forward to scarecrows new tricks, that flashback scene was immense, and now he could have Titan >.>

And how big will this game be? Looks huge.

Indeed, and I agree about better boss fights. As long as they're not the same repetitive Bane-esque ones though, I'll be happy. More battles similar to the Poison Ivy one would be fine.

I just hope that the formula for boss fights is better the next go around. It was really bland having to fend off goons while throwing batarangs at the boss to stun them, then run over and punch/kick. For the most part, that is.

As bland and repetitive as it is/was, I thought it seemed slightly realistic on how Batman would take down bigger foes. Though Batman's high IQ would mix in some new takedowns. So I'm also hoping for a bit more variety in his boss fights.

I thought the same thing. The way the fights went down they seemed ok, but adding variety(if done right) will make the experience much better.

Now I have this image of Bats engaging in an endurance fist fight with croc and bane in the antartic. dur

Scythe
Yeah, if done right, is the important factor here to me. I want semi-believable takedowns of bosses, Batman is only peak human afterall.

Impediment
Richard Moll needs to reprise his role as Two-Face/Harvey. He really, really needs to. yes

Mr. Freeze could be an interesting addition. I absolutely adore the Batman TAS episode "Heart of Ice".

I also really hope that we are gonna get a Batmobile driving sequence for some serious road rage.

Smasandian
Agree with most except for the driving sequence.

If the game is made as a Brawler then driving sequences will always turn into shit compared to rest of the game.

It reminds me of the driving sequence in Gears of War. Totally out of place and not fun compared to the rest of the game.

Nemesis X
If Batman fights Killer Croc again, I recommend Rockstead to let him wear the mechanized Batsuit which was used to combat Bane after the first encounter in the comics. I don't want anymore of that "OMG here comes Croc, run like a sissy and throw batarangs at him until he falls back in the water."

With the trailer showing the streets of Gotham, it looks like AA2 will be a sandbox-styled game. Since drivig sequences have failed in past Batman games, perhaps Batman should just do what he does best, swing around and jump from rooftop to rooftop and if there will be driving sequences, we can only hope it doesn't suck.

Kazenji
Originally posted by Nemesis X

The Batman games with the driving parts that i've played did'nt fail me.

Smasandian
Just based off the first game, I don't see the engine doing driving sequences very well.

If it's going to be half assed then don't bother adding to driving in it.

I also don't think its going to be a sandbox game but the same as the last one. An overworld type deal but not a sandbox type game. Well, I hope it isnt. What made the first game so fun was that it wasn't a GTA clone but a Metroid clone. It worked surprisingly well.

The only reason Arkham Asylum lacked an entire free roam was because Batman was trapped inside an asylum. Now that he's roaming around Gotham City, picturing this game not being a sandbox is kinda difficult.

If it's hard to imagine, look at some third person shooters. Freedom Fighters is a good example as it takes place in a city and has none of that sandbox gameplay.

Impediment
I'd like to see a sandbox style Gotham with exploration like inFamous or Spider-Man 2.

Smasandian
Meh, I don't.

I loved the first game and I don't see being a sandbox game doesn't interest me as much.

Impediment
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the formula of the first AA, however, in my opinion, since Bats won't be in AA anymore, Gotham is his oyster. I think that it's be really cool to open up Gotham for exploration and swing from building to building while in detective mode looking for crimes in between levels/fights/mission/etc.

If Batman was limited to only building interiors in the sequel, I think that it would be a waste of SO MUCH potential.

If anything, I just really hope that this go around, the boss fights will be majorly tweaked to avoid the same awful formula last go around: hit the boss a few times, beat a wave of Joker's thugs, repeat 3 or four times, etc.

Smasandian
I do agree that having Batman walk around the city would be good but I rather see the game be more like the first than a GTA clone.

For example, instead of driving to a letter on the map, getting the mission and then going to another area of the map and then accomplishing the mission would be kinda of lame.

The problem I see is that any side missions will suck because the character is already been set. It would be out of character to have him do something mundane while catching criminals and stopping crime would work, it would get completely tedious.

In the end, the reason I loved the first is because it was cinematic and having it open world would lose that. It would be a game, and I wouldnt be interested what so ever.

thumb up

Hewhoknowsall
IGN (and possibly other sites) speculates that the game may take place in the future, which some speculate may be the real reason why Joker looked so old.

BloodRain
Thought the Titan after-effect was a good reason. Harley still appears to be the same from what little we can see of her so it cant be that far in the future.

Also, was I the only one astounded by the trailer's graphics? That's no live action, it's actually in-game shit. At first glance, it sorta looked like it would be something for the PS4, X-Box 720, or something.

New catwoman gameplay. I was expecting all the bells and whistles like healthbar and map being seen, but it's all good, looks neat.

Hahahaha, that beginning! Nice to see men so committed to copyright laws that they allowed a TM insignia to be tattooed on them.

Wow.. Am at a loss of words again for this game.

Jim Cummings is the voice of Two Face...............sad

I was really hoping that Richard Moll from TAS would reprise his role.

This is my only gripe about this game, though.

It looks utterly amazing.

Apparently you switch to Catwoman during gameplay by having Batman "take a break" near groups of cats, which I think is kind of amusing.

You only have to play as her for like 10% of the story, but she also has her own side missions, unique abilities, and "thief vision" for finding stuff to steal. She doesn't have as many gadgets as Batman, but ya still gotta hand it to Rocksteady for putting forth such an effort into making a secondary playable character for the game. Am guessing there will be multiple trophies/achievements for stealing a bunch of stuff, similar to all the Riddler trophies and stuff in the first Arkham Asylum where you used that detective mode vision.. Can't wait. happy

Also just occurred to me... Think there will be some specific predator and combat challenge maps for Selina after beating the story mode? mmm

Eh...............Robin will eventually be a DLC option.

Ridley_Prime
Real question is, if he'll be a free DLC like the extra maps on the first Arkham Asylum were, or if you'll have to pay extra for him if you don't preorder. If it's the latter, then to hell with that. I'm preordering.

This will factually be one of the best games ever.
