ArkhamCity.co.uk: A new female Batman: Arkham City character has been revealed at SDCC
GB: "With this feature, we take a look back at the incredible Batman: Arkham City with the aim of analyzing it from the perspective of a 2024 release."
Skewed and Reviewed kick off 2024 with a look at the need for in-person game conventions with the End of E3 and compares the cost-cutting methods of Hollywood who still value in-person events.
so, this article didnt tell me why we NEED to have in-person shows like e3, other than the authors nostalgia and remembrance of covering one of these shows.
but it also doesnt mention everyone outside of america who have never had the chance to see it in person either haha
we had to watch the darn livestream, if they had it available, at 3am in the morning haha with lags amd crashes (not all the time)
while i think these shows are great and all, i dont really "need" to have them. people are busy, im busy. id rather watch a livestream than to book a flight, a hotel etc.
but theres still pax and all of that.
I'd rather publishers send out closed betas to garner gamer concern and interest like how we had demos back in the day.
I don't miss E3 as much as I loved it at one point but that era is long gone.
Sad to see it go. It was a great event for gamers and developers all around the world getting together and celebrate gaming as a community.
The announcements of new games/hardware, hype, surprises and seeing live audience reactions, it's something only events like E3 are able to bring. It will be missed...
if its going to be anything like the game awards where celebrities that dont even play games are there and its just full of fluff and commercial crap than no we dont need in person shows. we just end up watching the trailer montages the next day anyway.
To be honest E3 was one of my favorite times of the years when I was younger. I couldn't wait for all the big conferences and new announcements. It was hype even if nothing good was announced we had cringe moments to laugh at.
Reviews are finally out for Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and the game's Metacritic review score means Marvel still hasn't toppled DC.
The Arkham games are largely excellent, a shame they are being followed up by that god awful looking suicide squad game.
You can't expect a game to match 96-94 meta apple for apple. Different era and different gen. No need to diminish either game's achievement. Arkham City and Spiderman 2 are both amazing sequels that improved upon their already incredible first parts.
And right on cue, here comes the downplaying of Insomniacs masterpiece, not gonna work, this game is gonna be beast in success.
If she ends up being a boss fight i have a feeling she is going to be a pain in the arse
I KNEW Talia would be in this game. I had a strong gut feeling about it after reading about Arkham City for the first time.
Also, yay Solomon Grundy, born on a Monday!
I'm starting to get more and more excited for this game. The amount of characters in this game are staggering.
So...let me get this straight...
There's going to be: Batman, Robin, The Joker, Harley Quinn, Alfred, Commissioner Gordon, Barbara Gordon, Two Face, Catwoman, The Penguin, The Riddler, Bane, Solomon Grundy, Hugo Strange, and Talia al Ghul?
Seriously Rocksteady, all you need to do is throw in Ras Al Ghul and Clayface and I will sign over my life to you.
Female Batman?
I guess this is the only way they can sum up Talia in a soundbyte to people who don't know anything about comics.
