BATMAN ARKHAM ASYLUM PS3 GAME OF THE YEAR EDITION WINDOWS
Rocksteady began developing ideas for a sequel months before Arkham Asylum 's completion, hiding hints to the sequel within the game.Īrkham Asylum was released worldwide for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 video game consoles in August 2009, followed by a Windows version a month later. Built on Unreal Engine 3, Arkham Asylum 's production underwent several variations, refining both gameplay such as the combat system, and the central story, resulting in the removal of plot elements and some of Batman's main enemies, who did not fit the tone of the rest of the game. Among others, the game design was inspired by Batman-penned works of Neal Adams and Frank Miller, and Grant Morrison's Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth graphic novel. Combat focuses on chaining attacks together against numerous foes while avoiding damage, while stealth allows Batman to conceal himself around an area, using gadgets and the environment to silently eliminate enemies.ĭevelopment began at Rocksteady Studios in May 2007, with a 40-person team that expanded to 60 people by the project's conclusion after approximately 21 months. The player is able to complete side missions away from the main story to unlock additional content and collectible items. Batman can freely move around the Arkham Asylum facility, interacting with characters and undertaking missions, and unlocking new areas by progressing through the main story or obtaining new equipment. The game is presented from the third-person perspective with a primary focus on Batman's combat and stealth abilities, detective skills, and gadgets that can be used in combat and exploration. Most of the game's leading characters are voiced by actors who have appeared in other media based on the DC Animated Universe Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill, and Arleen Sorkin reprised their roles as Batman, the Joker, and his sidekick Harley Quinn respectively. In the game's main storyline, Batman battles his archenemy, the Joker, who instigates an elaborate plot to seize control of Arkham Asylum, trap Batman inside with many of his incarcerated foes, and threaten Gotham City with hidden bombs.
Based on the DC Comics superhero Batman and written by veteran Batman writer Paul Dini, Arkham Asylum was inspired by the long-running comic book mythos. I've got a couple of pairs of nice 3D glasses (nice frame, like 3D Ray-Bans).Batman: Arkham Asylum is a 2009 action-adventure game developed by Rocksteady Studios and published by Eidos Interactive in conjunction with Warner Bros. Well that happens when you use red and blue to make the 3D image. IMO one of the coolest features added to any GOTYEīut from what I have picked up the glasses tend to ruin the colour of things, so yeah, its in 3D, but everything is a bit bland and dark. Yes the GOTY includes an option to play the game in 3D.Įuropean release includes the same feature. Which is a shame, as there aren't many PAL LE's or CE's on the horizon so far for the rest of 2009 Yet another cool American Limited Edition we probably won't see over here.
