Batman Arkham Asylum site opens, new screens

The countdown is finally over and a batch of new screens are available on the official site of Rocksteady Studios.

Rocksteady Studios is currently working on its next exciting title, Batman Arkham Asylum for the Xbox360, PS3, and PC.

Based on the core BATMAN license, experience a unique, dark and atmospheric adventure that will take you to the depths of ARKHAM ASYLUM. Move in the shadows, instigate fear amongst your enemies and confront The Joker and GOTHAM CITY's most notorious villains who have taken over the asylum. Use a wide range of Batman gadgets and abilities as you become the invisible predator and attempt to foil the Joker's demented scheme.

In game shots?

[predator]

yep

[InMyOpinion]

Looks too good to be true. Unreal even ;)

[CaptainHowdy]

the graphics in this look awesome...IN-GAME!!!

[hardmetal]

There is no guarantee this game will be great as the screen shots try to tell. The same thing happened 6 years ago in BATMAN: Dark Tomorrow. Check this game out http://en.wikipedia.org/wik... and you will know what I mean. It was based on the comic and it had the dark feeling but it failed to deliver that. The gameplay got repetitive and the camera sucked although the cut-scenes were decent (with disappointing ending). I know it's coming from a different developer team but let's wait for gameplay footages.

now this is a batman title I like! If it plays well, I'll be first in line to buy the game!

[DaChinPin]

But I saw that in one of the shots, when Batman hits the thug, sparklike things come out...Hope they take that out...

[HowarthsNJ]

Nice character models. I hope there are more bat suit color options than the gray.

The current DK movie suit is the greatest IMO.

[OOG]

well hopfully the game is good....cuz most batman ones are not....

[GamerMan]

since my Sega Gamegear. Batman Returns.

In case you are interested http://www.mobygames.com/ga... I personally played this game too many times to count.

[Musicmedic5150]

looks amazing. Im just really worried about the over the shoulder camera. I have always gotten nauseated from those viewpoints in the past. Please make it first person.....

[LeShin]

A first-person Batman? Oh hell no! Got enough FPS experiences thank you very much (I'm a bit pissed that new James Bond game is first person) No point being a legendary character if you can't see him in my opinion.

[morganfell]

I understand what you are saying but there isn't a better Bond experience to date that Goldeneye.

With Quantum of Solace, I think you will find yourself popping in and out of 3rd person enough to keep that mental link.

Holy S*** it's TnS! Welcome back. TNS FTW!

Great find / story.

[MrSwede]

Yeah that's the best part of this news piece, it's submitted by TnS!! High quality submission as usual too. 19 images and all are uploaded and attached. You've been missed, TnS! :-)

[TnS]

Thanks guys. :)

[MK_Red]

Good one MrSwede. Submitter's the best and most important part of this story. 19 attached images. Quality news posting is back!
No problem TnS :)

[mistertwoturbo]

Hopefully the gameplay is good

[NanoGeekTech]

I hope it plays as good as it looks...but way to bring the Batman back to next gen gaming looks pretty sweet....

[LeShin]

Looks good, but we know looks can be deceiving. I'll wait to play a demo or something. Actually, what is everyone's favorite Batman game? Mine would be between Batman and Batman Returns on the Megadrive/Genesis. I still remember the brilliant gothic music! I did have Batman Returns on the Mega-CD but does driving stages were bloody hard.

[Fishy Fingers]

TnS is back. There goes our chances of building up our C-Ranks ;)

Looking good.

[MK_Red]

Yeah, the rank race is over (Again).

-Welcome back TnS.
-Nice shots to Batman's chin looks weird.

[TnS]

You don't have to worry. :)

[MK_Red]

Now you don't go in hiding again. Come on, at least post more often.

[d3vad]

Game looks good and according to GI, it runs on Unreal Engine 3.

[innocentrebel]

...however I found these scans of GI. Are they the same pics on rocksteadyltd? http://angryweb.wordpress.c...

[Fishy Fingers]

At the top of this page hit the "story images" tab. TnS has kindly uploaded all 19 of them for us.

[Shabas]

Killer Croc!!!

[bpac123456789]

its lookin good but most game's that are movie adaptations suck so i hope this one can surpass the stereotype. But most likely i wont buy it with all the other great games coming out.

[Silogon]

Thank god it doesn't look like Mr. Light bulb head from Dark Knight. That is the worst Batman suit I've seen since the 60's. Seriously.

Mr. Bulbhead for the LOSS!!! The whole suit is more like a suit of armor than a suit for conventional fighting. Batman in the comics is very free form. Very little to hold him down or back. Batman in Burtons films were also very stream line. Just the essentials and he looked great. The city also looked great in burtons films. Chicago is lame. Face it... As good as Dark knight is, and it is good, it's just not Batman.

It's like the Bourne movies or ACTION MAN in a batman-like suit.

[predator]

you back for good TnS?

[TnS]

No. Just posted this one because I haven't seen it on any other site.

[ElementX]

I think I peed a little bit in excitement for this game. I should renew my GameStop card so I get another free subscription to Game Informer.

[PSWe60]

I hope it plays as well as the Batman Begins game.

[DirtyLary]

I love the gritty look.
This game is must a rent, buy if it has mulitplayer.

[cr33ping_death]

damn looking f@cking sweet. now good control scheme, no sh!tty camera, and good story please. :)

[stuntman_mike]

i wonder how they faired with ps3 development seeing as a lot of companies are having trouble with the unreal engine (apart from unreal themselves of course)?

[Rhezin]

burton's batman wore a rubber f!cking suit he looked like a giant dildo. I think the new batman's ARE the batman's not some hokey sh!t like the batman's before. But I do think this batman game's suit is pretty cool. Even the game itself looks awesome! i read a preview in game informer. They said they have ALOT of villians and combat has an authentic up close feel and well as all of his signature moves. It takes place ALL in Dark Asylum.

[Silogon]

you're out of your damn mind.

While the Dark knight is a good movie. It's even great. It is not, however, better than the original Batman by Tim Burton. Sorry. Gotham was Gotham in burtons film. Not chicago.

Batman was Batman and he acted as such and he used devices as such. Batman in nolans film is more like a spy or James Bond in a suit that "sort of" looks like Batmans, only loaded down with armor. It looks even more silly than the the suit Joel used in Batman forever and Batman & Robin.

Burton used the best bits of the comics and brought them to life. Nolan, I like to think, made Batman for the movies and the movies only. It is Batman reinvisioned for an audience.

That is my take on things and how I will always look the new Trilogy of films.

[Stickguy259]

Have high hopes for this game. From the screenshots, I'm thinking it could definetly be good.

But then again, it could be a letdown as well. :(
