I found this quite interesting so figured i would share :encouragement: Day 1 Studios, the developer behind of F.3.A.R. and Fracture, was also working on a video game starring Batman. Their vision was to use the one-shot comic Gotham by Gaslight as the source material. Set at the end of the 19th century, Gotham by Gaslight follows the Dark Knight as he tracks down Jack the Ripper. Concept art for the game revealed Gotham by Gaslight’s steampunk vibe. Now, we have a better look at what Gotham by Gaslight would have been like thanks to an animation prototype video from a source at Day 1 Studios. Gotham by Gaslight was developed as a pitch for PS3 and Xbox 360 between 2009 and 2010. The game was designed with a foggy world for Batman to explore and he would have the ability to see in the dark. Day 1 Studios tried to work with THQ to publish the game, but after an unsuccessful pitch Gotham by Gaslight was canned. Source: Siliconera.com
interesting approach they took, the video looks cool (obviously only a demo video but still looks good)
I was very impressed with Arkham Asylum. It does have the annoying "collect a bunch of crap" as a side mission but it is very tame compared to some other examples I can think of. Arkham City is a bit annoying in that you have to travel from one side of the "city" to the other but hell it is VERY well done. My problem is finding something along the way that warrants investigation and getting side tracked from what I was originally going to do. This looks pretty damn good, so very polished for what amounts to an alpha demo.
That was awesome. Instead of making the next Arkham sequel, Arkham State or Country or whatever, I think this would be a very cool game to make. I still need to play those Arkham games as well...
