Warner announces Batman: Arkham City for fall 2011

@50

You must have played the wrong game because Batman AA was for mature players. It will stay as at the same rating as the last one because thats the sweet spot for this franchise.

You need to get out more if want sex in a video game.

@31 an alienware laptop would play any game at super high quality,it will cost you nearly 4000 pound but its a pure gaming rig.

@52

You could get a gaming rig that is better quality and will give you better use at a fraction of Alienware.

While i really don’t need sex or Joker ripping people apart, i really DO would like to see blood. Arkham Asylum was such a dark place, it really wasn’t a kid’s game. But still it lacked any kind of blood. When for example those thugs shot the two guards to death, i was expecting some blood…none of it. It takes away from the realism.

I find it slightly humorous that people are asking for a level of “maturity” and “darkness” in the games that you don’t even see in the comic books.

I want it to get an M rating. I don’t think there are newcomers to this comic series. Batman fans are older now. Just think how great it would be if The Dark Knight movie was R-rated. I don’t know why do they need that Teen rating? Joker is threatening anyone he sees to kill him in an obscene way; we should be able to see those killing… I want to see those killing. Catwoman is actually Batman’s lover, why don’t we see them making love? One great example for dark comics is Sin City. Just look at the movie, its gore and blood made it a great movie.

I’m sure there are plenty of place on the internet where you can watch Batman and Catwoman making love if you really want to see it.

Batman is an iconic character who appeals to fans of all ages, from the Saturday morning cartoons, the comics, the movies and all the related merchandising. I’d say it’s a fairly safe bet that they’re not going to have ol’ Bats giving Catwoman one from behind in a videogame.

I loved AA and thought it was perfectly pitched, a different take on the whole concept but still retaining the core of the character. Can’t wait to see how they’re going to expand on that.

@54:

So the lack of blood takes away from the “realism”, huh? I would have thought the lack of realism had something to do with, say, the outlandish costumes, mutating Jokers and MGS-like metagame pranks? Or is that fairly pedestrian stuff in your view?

Don’t get me wrong; Arkham Asylum was a great game. But thankfully the developers never attempted to include any kind of realism to begin with (and contrary to popular belief, grittiness is not the same thing as realism), so I’m not sure what substantial difference the addition of “blood” would have made.

@ 58, all i am saying is that it would have added to the atmosphere. Let’s imagine a game like Dead Space without any blood? Any blood smeared on the walls and floor…it adds to the experience and atmosphere. Ok, so realism was the wrong word.

@ 55

That’s where you are wrong

Look up ‘A death in the family’ from the Batman comics or lots of other Batman comics, Batman was actually quite mature in several comics. Just not the animated series comics.

wow
I cant believe !!!!!!!!!!!!!
