17 Minutes of Arkham Origins Released
If absolutely nothing else, this 17 minutes of gameplay footage from Batman: Arkham Origins proves beyond a shadow of the doubt that it is more of the same. Those worried by Rocksteady working on something else, or by the inclusion of multiplayer, need not worry. Watch this video. If you loved Arkham City, you’re going to love Arkham Origins.
That’s not to say that there aren’t differences, nor that this video is the perfect example of how Origins will play out (it is, after all, an advertising tool), but it’s a nice start, and it’ll at least help you decide whether you’re interested in picking it up at launch, or if you’re going to wait a few weeks/months.
The video also includes footage of the Batwing – the new fast travel system. It’s pretty cool, and completely understandable that you can’t actually drive it. With that said, I’m sure I’m not alone in wishing we could drive it…
A little bit of combat, a little bit of snow – Arkham Origins looks like it’ll be a worthy prequel to two of the only good superhero games in existence. Check out our preview and interview from New York Comic Con, in which Charles runs through some of the must-know facts about the latest Arkham title.
