What are the chances of them releasing a Green Arrow game in the Arkham engine?

GA is not popular enough to have his own game.

hopefully the DX11 is pc friendly this time. AC was a mess :s Also what's up with the delays in games lately :p I think publishers want people to pre order their games even though they know the devs aren't finished and the game isn't optimized?

Graphics look much better (although the same engine) and looks like a much more mature batman game.

Yeah, I think it was better with Nvidia cards which is always the case with the Batman games on PC. Announcing the release date early is probably the publisher's ploy for more preorders even if the developers don't approve of it.

The visuals are certainly a big improvement over the previous games which is due to a heavily modified version of the Unreal 3 engine this time. This is the last part of the trilogy that began with Arkham Asylum hence the even darker tone, this game will be Rocksteady's swan song for the franchise and everything I see from it makes me more excited for this finale. :)

yeah tbh Rsteady has made on ethe finest batman games since the sega genesis days... Origins was good but they could have made the script soooo much darker and better. Like Wayne having dreams of his parents getting killed and still haunting him, he has hard time NOT killing his enemies since his a rooky, him being trained as an initiative by league of assassins etc etc

True. I had so many issues with all of the Arkham games on my AMD card. Especially Origins with which i had gamebreaking bugs initially.

Yeah. Origins wasted a lot potential but it was still a fun game (apart from the severe technical issues i experienced).

Indeed, these Batman games are hands down the best ones based on a comic book property. Origins definitely could have been a lot better if Rocksteady had made it but instead WB games handled development on that, so it isn't really considered part of the trilogy by Rocksteady which they started with Arkham Asylum.

Origins also had a lot of continuity issues. Not in terms of story but in terms of the used gadgets. It generally played more like a prequel to Arkham City than to chronologically correct Arkham Asylum. Atleast imho.

Nah. This time around, i am not getting scammed. WB is here. And it is a GOTY/full edition/release, for purchase, or nothing.

Still, the real masterpiece are the 2 first games. In this series.
Important update for those concerned about the previously announced exclusive Scarecrow Nightmare missions content for the PS4 not being available on PC. Turns out its just a timed exclusive till fall this year and will be available for purchase on all other platforms as well later. I think its best to wait for the eventual GOTY/Complete Edition of Arkham Knight to get everything in one package.

Now is the time for WB to bring Arkham Asylum & City to GOG.

Just what every single player game needs. Sigh.

At least GFWL never stopped me from playing Asylum/City with no internet.

I definitely agree and if not both then just Batman Arkham Asylum for now would be really nice. Even for the Steam version you can play Arkham Asylum without starting Steam so perhaps less work is required to make it DRM Free. Here is the wishlist for the first two Arkham games to get some more votes while we're on the subject. :)

I wouldn't read too much into that as their previous game Shadow of Mordor also had "Broadband Network Connection" in the requirements but it can be played in Steam offline without access to the internet like other games.

It really would be great if GOG could get those games!
