This game really is promising.Arkham Asylum and City are by far my favourite games and I really hope they can top City.And theoretically,they should have no problem doing that.Actually,if you think about it,they can't go wrong.Because they were given everything from the very beggining.Many people complain that Origins and City look the same from what we have seen and it is true.When it comes to the gameplay and mechanics WB Montreal barely had to lift a finger because they already had everything from the beggining.I'm not saying this as a rant,on the contrary it is great.But through this we can understand that WB didn't have to worry about key gameplay,which is tough to do,which is great news for us.Because this means that they can spend their time adding new stuff like a bigger world, a batcave,hopefully Wayne Manor,and most importantly Boss battles.Actual true boss battles.The only boss battle in my eyes was MR Freeze.And from what i've heard the team made the battles using that blueprint, and we will have a lot of them too.Plus many more.I can't wait to play in multyplayer.
Bottom line we don't have to worry about the game being worse because it is impossible.Think of ot this way:It's like comparing Goku(Arkham City) to Goku PLUS something new(Arkham Origins).There is no way Goku alone could win.
