The Dark Knight Video Game - Why it HAS to be Good

The Dark Knight is definitely the biggest hit of this year, and probably the biggest hit of the decade. As with blockbuster movies like these, people always ask: "Where's the video game?" With these questions come the rumors that the game is in the works, and speculation on the gameplay and whether it will, or will not, be a "good" game.

It would be nice if the game followed the movie, and not just Batman in some redundant open world mission based crap. Open the game like the movie, not in a cinematic, but in actual gameplay of the bank heist playing as the Joker. It should switch back and forth through playable characters as often as the movie changed focus. There are other ways to expand a game beyond the limits of a movie besides adding 30 "stop the mugging" missions.

I say no. The best licensed video games are usually the ones that dare be different from the movies.

Yeah, cause Spiderman 3 was awesome. Really though, games are coming closer and closer to giving us a truly interactive cinematic experience, someday one game will get it right. For instance, I like the idea of the Ghostbusters game being a 'true' sequel to the movies, if done right it can give an experience that couldn't be matched. done wrong though, and yeah, it would have been better off doing something else.

5 - Aslong as they add an important credit.
I think it would be highly respectful for them to add something for Heath Ledger in there - i appreciate he didnt have any roll in programming the game.

Maybe a nod as an 'inspiration for the games feel' as the first credit after completing the game?

Just seems kinda right to me.......

I'd make it an fps. Because all third person license based adventure games suck. Add a REAL developer too.

Oh god I hate when people exaggerate about Heath. If he was still alive, many people wouldn't even had noticed him (or rather his acting)

8 - open world wouldn't be so bad !
I would love to be able to visit the bat cave, switch between the batmobile, batbike and other goodies. Using the boost to jump out from the cave and stuff. Being able to jump off the skyscraper open the wings and fly over the city and stuff. But I think it needs to be made right. It has to be rich enough (the batman universe is super rich!) , they need to use the movie storyline but also add other characters into the mix (but keep the "real" feel of the new movies). I want to travel around the wayne mansion ! This game has so much potential but I'm afraid greed will take over and their just going to rush it for the big bucks !

Yeah keep dreaming.

LICENSED
GAMES
NEVER
SUCCEED

It's a universal law of the universe. It'll get a 6.8 on IGN and a 5.7 on Gamespot. You know it's true! They won't take 2 years to make a respectable game. They can't wait this long cuz the movie just came out. It'll be rushed, it'll play like crap, there will be stupid WTF boss battles, and the whole game will stink casualness.

Batman should just stay in movies
