[PC, PS3, X360] Batman: Arkham Origins will include an online multiplayer component

[PC, PS3, X360] Batman: Arkham Origins will include an online multiplayer component

Batman: Arkham Origins will join the long list of franchise that have decided to include an online multiplayer mode despite the complete lack of necessity for one. Sometimes it works out well, such as in Uncharted 2, otherwise it ends up not amounting to anything, much like in Tomb Raider.

The multiplayer mode, which includes third-person shooter mechanics, is being worked on by Splash Damage. Previously Splash Damage have worked on games such as Brink and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.

As you can see in the video above, uploaded by Splash Damage, showcases the online multiplayer in action. Players will take part in 3 vs. 3. vs. 2 matches that will give players the option to play as either Batman or Robin and use them against their friends.

As for the villains? You'll be able to play as so-called "Super-Villain Elite" characters to see how it feels to play on the same side as The Joker and bane. As a reward for performing well players will be able to take control of charcters like The Joker or Bane themselves.

The multiplayer component will be available for Batman: Arkham Origins when the game launches for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. Unfortunately it seems that the extra feature will not be included in the Wii U version, which is an incredibly disappointing decision.

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes arrests top spot on UK charts

by Alexander Sliwinski on Jun 25th 2012 10:00AM

It was a quiet week on the UK top ten as Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes served justice at the top spot. The Dark Knight and pals' game is the latest chart-topper from Traveller's Tales' Lego series, with this latest title besting the first Lego Batman from 2008, which premiered in second place.

The rest of the top ten is the usual rogues' gallery, with a couple exceptions like Skyrim, which flew up from spot 23 to grab number eight. FIFA Street also re-entered the top ten, climbing from 13 to storm the last spot.

Civilization 5: Gods and Kings held court at No. 16 for its debut. We present the UK top ten after the break.

June NPD: Lego Batman 2 on top, hardware and software sales still down year over year

by Jordan Mallory on Jul 12th 2012 6:31PM

This year's overall downward trend in software and hardware sales continued through June, according to the latest set of data released by the NPD Group. The whole industry (hardware, physical software and accessories sales) brought in $699.8 million, 29 percent less dough than the $989.5 million earned in June of 2011.

Year over year, hardware sales were down a staggering 45 percent -- $201.3 million in 2012 versus $364.9 million in 2011. That being said, all platforms (except the PS2 and PSP) saw increased sales over May due to Father's Day and high-school/college graduation gift shopping, although the "Dads and Grads" effect was less potent than it was in 2011, according to the NPD Group's Anita Frazier.

Conversely, accessories were up year over year, if just barely, due mostly to sales of points cards (XBLA points, Steam Wallet cards, etc), which is indicative of a trend towards digital gaming spurred on by a lack of new titles at retail, says Frazier. The segment pulled down four percent more in 2012 ($169.8 million) than in 2011 ($163.00 million). Physical software sales, totaling up at $328.7 million for the month, contributed 29 percent fewer funds to June's totals than they did last year, when software equaled $461.6 million.

As far as specific software is concerned, a list of the 10 best-selling games in June is tucked away after the break, as per usual. List topper Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes sold 450,000 units across all consoles in June, which the NPD Group attributes to an increased amount of Batman mind-share in the public consciousness due to the impending release of The Dark Knight Rises. Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and Diablo 3 came in second and third for the month, with the rest of the list being a mish-mash of the surprising (Pokemon Conquest? Batman: Arkham City?!) and predictable mainstay entries like Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3.

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes secures UK top spot for second week

by Alexander Sliwinski on Jul 2nd 2012 8:30AM

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes "comfortably" kept The Amazing Spider-Man away from the highest spot on Chart-Track's UK sales chart. There were three new entries in the top five last week: the web-slinger swung into second, and Spec Ops: The Line and London 2012: The Official Video Game (about... London??) landed in third and fourth place, respectively.

The launch of Skyrim's Dawnguard DLC helped propel sales of the game up 121 percent. The launch of Metal Gear Solid HD Collection on PS Vita had a similar impact, shooting the game into tenth place on the charts and sales of the game up 532 percent - making it the top selling Vita game last week "by a large margin."

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes flies five weeks over UK charts

by Alexander Sliwinski on Jul 23rd 2012 8:00AM

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes has held the top spot on Chart-Track's UK sales chart for five consecutive weeks, the first game this year to maintain that pace. Batman: Arkham City also swooped back into the top ten at the seven spot, likely boosted by The Dark Knight Rises film.

Despite a price drop to Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, which helped boost sales 40 percent, it held third behind London 2012: The Official Video Game. Speaking of the upcoming Olympics boosting sales, Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (in 8th) also saw a 13 percent increase.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance was the only new entry in the top 40. According to Chart-Track, it is the second biggest 3DS launch this year behind Resident Evil: Revelations. See the UK top ten in 3D after the break*.

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes and a whole new (open) world

by Alexander Sliwinski on May 22nd 2012 1:30PM

We know, we know... another Lego game based on a popular franchise? But Lego Batman 2: DC Super Hereoes is looking to be different, featuring an open world and the borderline blasphemy of talking Lego characters. Also, we'd be lying if we said that the exchange between Batman and Superman in this trailer didn't make us smirk.

Lego Batman 2 welcomes some friendly faces, unfriendly voices

by JC Fletcher on Mar 15th 2012 4:10PM

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes has more heroes than usual -- going beyond the Bat-family into the wider DC Universe. You can see Superman looking totally oblivious alongside the appropriately gruff Dynamic Duo in the gallery below.

Lego Batman 2 also has real human voices speaking the English language, something you don't expect from a Lego game! In fact, the first human voice we hear is that of Clancy Brown, who provides the menacingly deep voice of Lex Luthor for Superman: The Animated Series and other DC Comics animation.

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes revealed in Lego ad

by Griffin McElroy on Dec 14th 2011 5:45PM

If Batman: Arkham City didn't exactly float your boat due to the fact that its cast of characters wasn't made of interconnecting bricks, then you're a crazy person. Don't worry, though! Warner Bros. Interactive announced plans to tend to your dark desires in October, and today, the details of those plans appear to have solidified. According to artwork which has begun appearing in select Lego sets, the company is currently working on Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes.

No information regarding the game's release window are outed in the ad, but the inclusion of heroes Wonder Woman and Superman -- seen in this ad, via MCV -- seem like a lock. We just hope Aquaman makes it in, so we'll have someone we can force our least favorite friends to play as.

No, you know what? Too mean.

Best Buy Black Friday: Revelations for $35, Batman, Gears 3, BF3 for $30

by Jessica Conditt on Nov 12th 2011 1:30PM

We're really pleased we don't work at Best Buy during the holiday season. We're sure it's a wonderful company to work for in general, but its Black Friday sales are almost as legendary as Wal-Mart's, though thankfully not as lethal (yet, fingers crossed).

This year Best Buy is offering deals on Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and 3DS swag, including 360 and PS3 console-and-game bundles for $200, three months of Xbox Live Gold for $8, Assassin's Creed: Revelations for $35 and a bevy of major new titles for $30. You can even snag X-Men: Destiny for $30 in a special "pay more than it's worth" sale. If you're not brave enough to go to the store (we don't blame you), Best Buy is offering free shipping on everything from now until Dec. 27 on its website.

Click below for the complete list of Best Buy Black Friday deals, and before you get in line, remember, don't wear a blue polo or tan pants that day. Unless, you know, you want to.

October NPD: 3DS rising, a good month for games with 'Bat' in the title (Update: BF3, Batman, RAGE numbers)

by JC Fletcher on Nov 11th 2011 6:50PM

Microsoft claims another month on top for the Xbox 360, with 393,000 units sold for the NPD's October sales period, 20% up year over year and, in the words of MS Chief of Staff for Interactive Entertainment Business Aaron Greenberg, the system's "biggest October ever." Following up is ... the 3DS, randomly bouncing back two months after its price drop, with "over 250,000" sold, according to Nintendo.

Try to look shocked when we tell you that Battlefield 3 topped the software chart. The top six games on NPD's sales chart are all October releases, with Batman: Arkham City, NBA 2K12, Rage, Just Dance 3, and -- believe it or not -- super-hardcore, unfriendly RPG Dark Souls all placing. Find the full top ten after the break.

Walmart Black Friday: Batman, Battlefield 3 $28 each, blue Wii $99

by JC Fletcher on Nov 10th 2011 10:00AM

This year, you say, you're not going to watch retailer websites all Thanksgiving weekend for deals; you're not going to give in and drive to a store at midnight for cheap games. Walmart is the first to try to convince you otherwise, posting its Black Friday circular with discounts and exclusive offers it hopes will bring you back on the most dangerous shopping day of the year.

For $199, you have a choice of console bundles: an Xbox 360 4GB with Gears 3, 3 months of Live, and a $50 gift card; an Xbox 360 4GB with Kinect, Kinect Adventures, and a $50 gift card; or a 160GB PS3 with Ratchet & Clank All 4 One, LittleBigPlanet 2, and 3 months of Plus membership.

The blue Wii, announced in Europe as a Mario & Sonic bundle, will be released in America exclusively to Walmart ... at the crazy low price of $100.

If you're already set for systems, Walmart is also offering limited-time deals on games. From Thanksgiving night at 10pm through Friday, you can get recent releases like Batman: Arkham City, Battlefield 3, Gears of War 3, Infamous 2, and Call of Duty: Black Ops for $28. Dance Central 2, Kinect Sports Season Two, and Epic Mickey (among others) are $15. You can also get Yakuza 4 for ten damn dollars -- plus the cost of having to fight for your life at Walmart.

[Thanks, Justin.]
