So today the first official teaser of Batman Arkham Origins.



And I'm left with much anticipation and also fears for this game!





Granted I know it was just a trailer to silence the fans since the games announcement a few months back, but this cinematic trailer seemed more like another Christopher Nolan film than a video game.

 

I understand that's the way video games are headed these days but come on, I want there to be a distinction between my Batman video games and movies just saying.

My other issue that I had was Batman's suit seemed better than the one he left Arkham City with at the end of the second game. This could just be me, but this was a ninja awesome suit that could combat with Deathstroke. What happens to this suit in the future?

That aside my feelings of the trailer are that this is a final or climatic scene showing a much wiser Batman finally able to finish the villains on Christmas night!

The background was awesome and I hope they incorporate all the weather effects of the snow and cold temperature in the fighting and overall playability of the game!

Besides Batman's battle with the assassin's and Deathstroke, he'll also be fighting Black Mask and other mob members. And lets not forget this will tell the story on how Penguin got his glass eye and of course Commissioner Gordan will only be the Captain at this point.

This is the ultimate teaser leaving such great anticipation for this game seeing as a lot of the things we loved of the previous games are gone! I still have faith in the Bat, but I do hope that Deathstroke is a lot stronger than he appears to be in the video!

Today couldn't bring a huger or better announcement for us!

The new Batman game has finally been given a release date, title and of course plot!

Batman: Arkham Origins will be released on October 25, 2013. The plot is a prequel like all games these days. But hey every hero needs their prequel am I right?

We know what will happen and why Joker met his fate but we don't know how he it got to this point between the two! I can't see moving forward for awhile without ruining the series.

This game will not be developed by Rocksteady Studios this time around, instead being worked on in-house at Warner Bros. Games Montreal. Which I'm okay with because the team consists of Eric Holmes, lead designer of games including The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction and Prototype.

What has me both exciting and a little yancy is the idea of Batman meeting most of his villains for the first time. How far back are we going guys?  Deathstroke is confirmed for this game, and is on the cover with Batman for this months game informer!

I really just want to see Joker not going to lie but I'm hoping this game plays like Uncharted 3 with flashbacks and moving forward. But according to Game Informer the point of the game is the 8 Assassin's that come to Arkahm City on Christmas Eve to finish the bat. These are the defining villains who make the batman we've seen in the past games! This game is so close to Batman year one, I don't know why they don't call it Batman Year One!!

Something also interesting to note is this game is not a next gen game, it has been announced for PC, PS3, Wii U, and Xbox 360, let's give it one last bam before we get to next gens.

But if this game produces the same stunning graphics as the first two, why even bother with next gen? Another cool feature is Ps Vita and 3DS will have their own versions titled title, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate. These games will have the same release date and brought to you buy them minds of the makers of Metroid Trilogy. So hopefully a good super hero game finally for hand held??

I have high standards for this game for plot, controls and everything but graphics. This because two weeks prior to it's release Beyond: Two Souls comes out and with their engine only performing at about 30% in their last game they promised to dominate!

Check back here for more on Batman: Akrham Origins coming soon (10/25/13)!
