its by WB Montreal who did Arkham Origins which I thought was ok? Its not Rocksteady who did most of the Batman games, but then again the last Batman game was really meh and they did that one.

Looks like a day 1 purchase for me. I loved the Arkham series and the combat looks very similar. I wonder if they collaborated with Rocksteady?

Origins was okay, but definitely weakest of the Arkham games imo

Not 100% sold on it, but there's nothing there that's absolutely killing my interest either; basically, as I've said before in reference to the Suicide Squad game, I'd rather see some games with the more mainline DC heroes, but I'm willing to give this a chance. That being said, the Suicide Squad game is supposedly a multiplayer-focused GaaS game, so it's odd that they're going with such a similar angle with Gotham Knights.

entire game playable as solo or 2 player coop. Ok, take my money.

Same. If it brings anywhere near the quality of the Arkham games with 2p co-op I'm sold. Plus 4 playable characters to keep the gameplay interesting.

Looked alright to me, better than Avengers from the gameplay at least.

Co-op? Fuck yeah. But Origins was the most annoying of the bunch combat-wise. The story was also the weakest. Hmm...

i think i like origins the most, but that's only been something i've decided in retrospect... there were a few things that i definitely didn't like while playing it... kevin conroy and mark hamil not being a part of it DEFINITELY bothered me at the time, but troy baker was an excellent joker that definitely grew on me. i also didn't like that it was ANOTHER joker story. joker just keeps showing up and it's getting old hat. when origins was announced and they said that joker was in it, but only played a small role, and that the main villian was black mask, i thought, okay, i'm actually excited by that. but then that was just a big switcheroo and it really annoyed me.

BUT i think it also ended up having a great story between batman and joker... so like i said, at the time i didn't like it so much, but in hindsight i've changed my mind on it

Weird. I liked the story the best in Origins. Bane fight can suck a dick though.
Yeah, as far as my personal hierarchy of the Arkham series goes, Origins was the strongest in terms of story and boss fights, while Knight was the strongest in terms of raw gameplay (even with the overuse of the Batmobile) and art style--especially liked the designs for Batman and Scarecrow.

Still wish we could've gotten some DC games that were neither Batman nor Batman-adjacent. But still, looking forward to seeing more of both this and Suicide Squad. And maybe they'll do something more different with their next games... in the next seven-ish years.

look interesting, not a fan of the RPG elements forced in the game. looks great but still in alpha cause of that frame rate.

I don't need co-op in a batman game, reminds me of the Ubisoft's games that came out over the past 5 years.

I see some dumb ass complains but youtube comments are natural stupid as hell

want to see more
