Way better then their last DC comic game

:lol

Now to see if the actual game follows suit...

 

[radrelic]

Holy crap, nice.


*PLEASE LET THE GAME BE GOOD*

 

[Nightbreeze]

Well it's nice to see that ea's choosing the less full of them selves look now with their logo placing. Looks 100% better imo.

 

[miyuru]

:lol sometimes I wonder if they just got someone else to model for that pic over Halle. It looks like an advert for a halloween costume.

A cheap one at that :lol

EDIT: Yeah, the logo looks really slick the way it's placed/tinted. Good stuff!

 

[Jive Turkey]

Nah...They're just trying to hide the fact that it's an EA game.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Nah...They're just trying to hide the fact that it's an EA game.

Worked for me. I thought it looked awesome, until I spotted that logo. Too bad.

 

[krypt0nian]

A real beauty!

I know its foolish to want this but....PLEASE LET THIS BE A GOOD GAME!

I'm not even asking for GREAT.....just not crap.

Thank you, God.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Well it's Eurocom, they tend to make exactly what you're describing.

 

[Wario64]

WTF? Why are they trying to hide the EA logo? Trying to decieve boycotters? OH HELL NAW.

BOYCOTT EA

 

[Grizzlyjin]

I love it, especially how the EA logo is in black and white.

 

[Sagitario]

Well it's Eurocom, they tend to make exactly what you're describing.

This game is from the Sphinx team, so... I have faith...

 

[krypt0nian]

No shit? Then there is real hope. Thanks!

I loved Sphinx, as I went in with no expectations and went out entertained.

 

[u_neek]

I like the new EA logo... this game will be released for Xbox 2 as well right?

 

[Porridge]

That's a pretty bitchin' cover

 

[shibbs]

totally bitchin

 

[Blackbird]

Just wondering... shouldn't Batman Begins be listed on esrb.com is the game got the T for Teen-logo already, or is the esrb simply slacking off?

 

[Blackace]

its nice...but is it really greater than me? I mean, I'm pretty fucking great....

 

[nightez]

Eurocom havent proven themselves in the past.
No need to worry.
I just hope EA dont buy them

 

[Dr Zhivago]

They've tried

 

[Shinobi]

Yeah, that cover is seven shades of bad ass. I'm pretty excited about the game as well...at worst I think it'll be as good or slightly better then Spidey 2, which would be fine with me.

 

[AirBrian]

Nice boxart!

Wasn't the last Batman game (Vengeance?) pretty decent? Of course that was developed by Ubisoft...

Hopefully this game is as good as the boxart.

 

[Littleberu]

It was pretty decent. But it was also based on the animated serie.

 

[Alcibiades]

beautiful...

now if they had the guts to leave out the "Batman Begins" name/logo, it would have been a masterpiece... keep the stuff at the bottom though...

 

[u_neek]

beautiful...

Yeah, or maybe they should just get rid of the bat..

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

Bravo, EA!

Now, make the game good!

 

[CrimsonSkies]

That is pretty good.

 

[Matlock]

EA didn't run a boxart through the master template? They used logos and art assets tastefully?

No, no. This isn't right at all.

 

[Blackbird]

Nice boxart!

Last one was Rise of Shin Tzu or something.

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

I might be tempted to buy this just for the art. At $20 mind you. :lol

 

[TekunoRobby]

While I understand that having Batman by himself would be awesome, they're trying to sell a commercial product. The name and logo HAS to stay because it's tied in with a movie property, its product synergy and all that jazz. I could imagine the humor involved in retail when customers are picking up the box trying to know what the hell the name of the game is. Well other than calling it "The Batman Game."

I took a poll down here at the office to see if this Boxart was indeed better than me and luckily I pulled through in a majority win. Two retards voted for the Boxart but they'll get theirs. I predict that accidental staple injury will shoot up 5% this month.

they could look at the back cover, or EA could leave the logo on the side...

 

[Mr Mike]

The minimalist, tasteful look probably has more to do with Warner Bros and DC than EA.

Anyway, game's pretty average.

 

[Che]

Holy crap, nice.


*PLEASE LET THE GAME BE GOOD*

It's a movie title and it's EA. If the game is good I'll start making preparations for the apocalypse.

just because ea PUBLISHES a game, dont make it bad.... But they do publish games from good developers.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

I would like it to be a good game................


but it won't be. :lol

 

[Shinobi]

Here's a new interview with C&VG for Batman Begins...

So what's the main focus of the Batman Begins game?

Ben O'Donnell: We're tagging Batman Begins as a stealth action game, so the whole development process has been targeted with that in mind. We've implemented Fear and Reputation mechanics that feeds into the stealth aspect of the game. By being stealthy you instil fear into your enemies, rendering them helpless. That lets you get in close and use your martial arts to defeat them. Batman can't just wade in there and take on three guys armed with machine guns, simply because at the end of the day he is human, and as you mentioned already that's something both the game and the film want to communicate.

The whole game is set up so that you have to use your stealth abilities to manipulate the environment in such a way that you can then get in there and take out your enemies. You use your close combat for the final attack, but you need to disarm your enemies with fear first.

Then as you begin to drive that fear home word will get around about you. That's when the Reputation mechanic comes in. You'll hear enemies talking about whether you're a ghost and spreading rumours about your powers. This gives you an even greater advantage because the sense of fear will be heightened

Rest of the interview can be found here.
