Anybody else think they'll bundle this with The Phantom Pain in the future? I think if they do that, then that's when I'll get this. Though, then again, doing that will kind of kill the replay value of Ground Zeroes and kind of make me waste more money... Not unless, of course, getting the hypothetical bundle will result in me saving a lot of money.
@haze0986 @BuNKiTZ @dudous_47 True. But there are plenty of changes. I suppose you just can't see it. It's a pretty long list so I won't bother posting it.
@dudous_47 Change for the sake of change isn't really a good thing. Also, did you not see the new Vent Takedown animation? There were also a lot of new attack animations in Arkham City. As for new ones for Origins though, a lot of them are very subtle and you might not notice them, but they're definitely there.
If you're talking about things like Batman's posture while talking to Alfred through the comm and things like removing vents, well, there's no reason to change it. Again, change for the sake of change isn't really a good thing.
Why don't they make a video like this for most sequels or prequels that come out? There's nothing wrong with having the same system, that's why they're still part of the same series. If you want a completely different system then go look for another game. And other than the Shock Gloves, they've added some other things to the combat too; we have at least two new enemy-types: the Martial Artist and the Armored Enforcer which both add more depth to the combat and we have new gadgets (only two of which have been revealed so far) that will most likely work as quickfire gadgets like in Arkham City. Also, the Shock Gloves allow Batman to block and counter the stun-baton wielding thugs as well as stun and/or break through shielded thugs. That's totally brand new and makes the combat a lot more fun and interesting that it already was for me.
The Remote Claw also adds a lot of new options for Batman in the Predator sections. You don't just use it to tie two thugs together to knock them out, you can tie a thug to objects to knock them out as well. Okay, that's not that different from the former but there are other things we can do with it as well. We can tie a thug towards a gargoyle to basically do a long-ranged Inverted Takedown or even tie an object (such as an oil drum) on it and cut the rope in order to drop it on an unsuspecting thug to knock them out. And being able to create a tightrope between two perch points adds more versatility to Batman's mobility in Predator rooms and gives us a new Takedown (Tightrope Takedown--the coolest looking takedown in my opinion).
And let's not forget the new Case File system, it adds so much more to the game. Batman is the World's Greatest Detective, but sadly in the last two games, he hasn't really felt like that; all we did was follow the traces of whoever it is we're looking for, etc. This time, with the Case File system, we get to recreate crime scenes and actually think about how this or that happened. We're going to be doing some actual detective work!
Oh, and we're getting THE Bat Cave. Not the makeshift one Bruce had in Asylum, but THE Bat Cave. We get to switch suits there, upgrade our gadgets, access the challenge maps, stare at the majesty of everything in the Bat Cave, what more can you ask for?
@catabuza @BuNKiTZ Sure thing. Though, Kevin Conroy is returning for the sequel to Arkham City, he's already been working on it for months now. Yeah, Ezio's VA was really good, so I'm looking forward to hearing his work. It only makes sense that somebody else will be voicing them since they're younger here, though.
@catabuza Sadly, no. But judging from your avatar (profile picture? I'm not sure what they're called), I have good news for you. Ezio's voicer (I forgot his name) will be voicing the younger Batman here. While Robin's voicer (I also forgot his name...) from Arkham City will be voicing Joker. I read on some previews that Joker's new voice sounds pretty good.
@se007 @Emerald_Scott Exactly, it's the one line a superhero must never cross. If they cross that line they can never go back (which is why I'm kinda pissed with what's going on with Spidey, but that's another story). It's in a way, what makes them so great, that they'll keep fighting these villains and stopping them but never taking the easy way out and stooping to there level. Now, if you want a superhero game where you get to kill people, there's the upcoming Deadpool game, which is looking really good ^^
Ah. Good. I stayed away from this game in fear that it would be awesome and that I would want it. Guess I was right to stay away, this way I'm not disappointed at all and I don't lose anymore money :))
