Batman: Arkham Origins (2013) - TV Spot [YouTube]
I'm replaying Arkham Asylum for the first time since close to when it first came out! It's old for sure but it doesn't take long to get used to it again.
However, I'm reminded of 2013 when young me saw a TV commercial for "Batman: Arkham Origins".
If you're a Batman fan and never saw this trailer before, I promise you that this is the epitome Batman video that captures the pain, resolve, and essence of Batman entirely within 53 seconds. This is a must-watch.
Enjoy!
This is probably one of the best game series ever made. Probably the best Batman game series ever, too.
Each sequel adds new things without changing the core formula too much, each sequel is a bit bigger than the last game, and each sequel is just "more of what you love" about the Arkham games. Imo it's everything a game and its sequels should be.
Origins tends to be the "forgotten" title in the Arkham series since it wasn't developed by the same studio and doesn't feature many of the iconic characters/villains of the others (just Penguin, Deathstroke, Riddler and Joker), but IMO it's still a very good game that can be held up with the others in the series and can introduce players to a variety of other members of Batman's rogues gallery they may have not heard of before.
And the multiplayer was surprisingly good. I heard that some enterprising modders managed to revive it, and I'd love to play it again someday.
The song in this TV spot is a variation of a released song and was made exclusively for the purpose of this TV spot. This version was never released.
The original song is "Still With Me" by Tritonal feat. Cristina Soto.
