I love the box art for both the standard and - especially - deluxe editions.

But, as they're up for £65 (standard) and £80 (deluxe) I won't be paying that. It can't just be me thinking that publishers are losing touch with game prices at the moment, recognising the tough financial constraints many folk are under.

Throw in the fact it’s the same engine and world that’s been done before, it looks very much like a fresh kick of paint and it does look like it’s taking the piss.

I think this looks pretty neat :shifty: . Not £70/£80/£100 neat, though; will definitely wait for a sale.

Yeah, it does seem billing games / films whatever as the final one - knowing it won't be the final one does sometimes write them into a corner. There was no reason for them to bill Toy Story 3 as the last one - its one of the best films and would have got the critical acclaim and attention anyway and TS4 would have received less pushback. Also if you are going to continue making those Saw films bring back the main antagonist that was killed off in the first few - I'm sure people would prefer a convoluted explanation of how he was bought back then whatever they did with the franchise after.

I wouldn't mind a retcon or soft reboot on the Gotham games as they have 'killed off' Batman and some of the villians. Arkham Knight left'Batmans death' ambiguous and he's just going to be bought back in a future Rocksteady game anyway. Miles Morale was cool as a sort of a filler, disposable adventure before Spiderman returns in 2 (like the WB Montréal games are less important than the Rocksteady games); and Miles was a great character. I don't think many people would have been desperate to play as the Gotham Knights - too main leads and possibly too many threads will make this a less focused / immersive experience. I would guess most people would rather another prequal or just bring Batman back with a few sections as Catwoman.

Bad voice acting.
Waypoints two metres in front of you.
Ropey looking combat. How did they ruin the combat?

All looks a bit wooden. It was the go to free flowing action fighting game, Spider-Man improved on it, and now this clunky mess. Straight to £19.99 I reckon.

I hope so, Bertie - I'm quite keen on the game but no way will I be splashing out big money for it. Twenty wraps would be great! :-).

I have yet to watch all the video but, from a quick look, the lighting and shadow effects were marvellous. Making it new gen-only has seemingly enabled those kind of graphical embellishments to be ramped up.

Trailers look good - very interested in how this ends up reviewing.

Whats with the guy with the gun though? Was Batman hanging around with someone who was straight up killing people? :shock:

Honestly misread that as "Rod Hull's famous double jump boots". Assumed it was some wild conspiracy theory.


If Rod Hull had those, we might have got a new Emu series.
