Pretty soon every single corporation will merge into one and then we'll have what the old folks called a "monopoly" (so successful, it inspired a game!). At that point, we'll be reminded why we decided these monopolies weren't such a good thing in the first place.
Sometimes corporations need to be allowed to fail (what the hell's Atari still doing sticking around?). Midway the last few years was dictionary definition of "Epic Fail."
@Wolf_Dog: The pendulum swings both ways. Eventually there will be a multitude of game companies starting up when credit starts flowing and the economy turns around. This is just part of the business cycle at this point.
@demistate: Exactly, and more to the point... if there ever is only one game company, someone else will come along with a good idea and make better games. Competition is inevitable.
@LTTelamon: And then the monopoly will lower all the prices of their products to "Cheap as Free" so as to starve the up-and-comer into submission, buy the up-and-comer, and the distopia returns.
"..they remember rightly so that Batman is supposed to be the world's greatest detective, not the world's best boxer."
To be fair jujitsu, ninjitsu, and asskicksu. :)
Curious if the game will use those styles or the modernized Keysi seen in recent films. If they are going largely by the old animated series than the former more than likely.
I'm not a huge fan of how the batman looks in this game... combined with the same voice from the animated series, it keeps throwing me. But frankly, if that's the biggest gripe I can come up with for the game at this point... it'll probably be some good times.
Seems like the Joker is set up to be this game's SHODAN. I can't wait. Not to mention the stealth elements, which seem to be missing from most Batman gamges; the dude doesn't just run in and start wearking havoc - he's a detective.
Yeah. Probably the first Batman game worth mentioning, but we'll have to wait and see if the ball gets dropped.

It was either this, or Midway goes bye-bye. Not really a GOTTA BUY 'EM ALL corpokemon sale.

Didn't grow up with the animated series... did you?

Oh, how I miss you Wing Commander.

My guess is that it's going to be a Halloween release. Seems perfect for it.

I just want it to be a Goddamn Batman game.

Stop crushing my resolve, AJ :C

Actually... it sounds less System Shock and more Butcher Bay. Doesn't change the fact that I want to play it.
