Gotham Knights revealed by WB

This is a clear response to Marvel Avengers.

You can see it because it goes full coop and the way they also implemented those RPG elements.

Attacks now having hit damage numbers completely suggestion armour parts customization and stuff like many RPG games do.

It looked polish enough and cool, not gonna lie, but it also feels like a a mid point spin off game to the rumoured court of owls one.

No way they're killing Batman over a coop game to play with the Bat family.

I don't know about gameplay, and I certainly don't know about this being another crappy RPG-type Destiny thing. I really feel like Avengers was the breaking point for that.

But even if it's not next-gen (?), I was blown away by the visuals and art. It's absolutely beautiful.

Guys this is not GaaS. This is an offline action RPG. Destiny and Avengers comparisons doesn’t make sense. This is more of an Assassin’s Creed.

They specifically said that?

The game feels GaaS to me, but I didn't watched the presentation, just the trailers.

By the way Robin's armour, with clean head armour, and that blinking stuff he uses to move himself through the scenario, makes him look like Flash with a cape lol.

I was hoping they would contract platinum games or another Japanese developer to make a Batgirl game that had a dating/social network aspect to it from the Batgirl Of Burnside run. I think that could be a nice change up from the Arkham series.

I think this is coop. It would be weird for WB to go with two GaaS game at the same time.
but honestly, it wouldn’t be their first stupid idea.

While it’s too early to really tell, the combat and life bars seem more like an action rpg brawler with stealth elements. It could be fun in its own right but it’s not an Arkham game.

Looks like this game is not connected to the arkham games from what wb games pr.



Makes no sense since they used same voice actor from Origins for Bruce's voice. Mark my words this is night of owls and battle for the cowl storyline. Batman will be in it maybe in expansion if they are doing the whole GAAS. Faking his death was something that he did in battle for the cowl. I believe they are tying that into court of owls. Every character deals with batmans death differently in battle for the cowl. Jason comes back into the fold, and later in the series him and dick fight. Someone takes up batman role by the end.

Immediately disappointed it’s not a proper Batman game.

However...

Art direction is on point. Gameplay looks good.

You’re basically looking at the non-shit version of Avengers

Looks more interesting than Miles Morales and Avengers to me. I wonder what the PS5 and Series X upgrades this game get?
Expect nothing. Seriously.

Game will run on PS4and base Xbox.

Meaning it was probably made on the same engine Arkham Knight was made. Meaning it's the same cross gen PS3/PS4 variant of unreal engine.

Robin becomes Batman mid game. Or I hope.
LOLNO.

Any Robin not called Damien will always be a 2nd grade char and will never wear Bat's cape.

Red Hood and Night Wing are already in game, so Robin will stay same old nerdy dork we all love to hate.

I'm impressed. I felt we got the first real gameplay of a nextgen game (besides Ratchet and Clank).

It should still look and run significantly better on the PS5 and XSX. Batman: Arkham Knight looks and runs significantly better on my PC (which has a 1080Ti) than it did on my base PS4.
