'Batman: Arkham Origins' Gameplay Trailer [Update]

We've seen plenty of awesome CGI, but now it's time to see how the gameplay holds up!

E3 kicked off today and with it comes a glorious look at the new Batman game! We already know they can make a stunning cutscene and we've seen a few screenshots, but now we're getting a far more detailed look at the gameplay. The video shows off some basic combat, new equipment and a detective mode which can rewind a crime. Also included: a first look at Bane and glimpses of how Roger Craig Smith and Troy Baker sound as the Caped Crusader and Joker.

UPDATE

Sadly, the video has been taken down. We'll be sure to put the official one here once it becomes available!

The trailer has been officially released to us. (Look up!) Enjoy!

Batman: Arkham Origins comes out 10/25.

I can't wait for this game. I love the fact that the setting is Gotham in winter. I absolutely loved the last game, and this is just a minor complaint, but Arkham City (the setting) was so dark and depressing. What they showed in this video looked really good.

I also liked how slimmed down Bane. He looked awful and was a moron in the last two games.

The Batman voice sounded perfect as well. It really sounded like a younger version of Kevin Conroy's Batman. The Joker voice wasn't bad either. I wish everyone would stop whining about that. Mark Hamill did an amazing job for the last 20-something years, but other people are allowed to do the voice as well. That goes for Conroy too.

Overall, I'm excited for this game based on what I saw in the video.

For some reason, the graphics seem quite dull at certain points in the video... :\

God this is AMAZING!Smith and Baker seem to do a preetty awesome job,considering these are the younger incarnations of both batman and the joker.The gameplay looks promising if not even better then the first ones and the grafics stand up to the previous games.I admit,i was initialy worried about Rocksteady not working on this,but this new studio got my full attention(in a good way :) )

Deathstroke's military rank is Lt. Colonel?

I didn't even know he had a military rank.

This looks very uninspired. I know it's early on, but I saw nothing in this trailer that, for me, distinguishes this game from Arkham City. It looks like the same game....

No, he just turned him into a living plant.

I kind of agree with the combat, but the rest looks different. I am so going to get it.

Had to look it up on my own due to the link constantly bouncing around, but I enjoyed it. The only thing I wish they had done is set the game sometime other than winter. We saw what the game world looks like during its frozen months in Arkham City... I want my rainy, moody Gotham, dammit!

Great new Batman voice! Finally Conroy is gone, Hahahahahahahahaha (imagine me doing a little goblin dance around the fire)! No, seriously, not a big Conroy fan. He was the least favorite thing about Btas, JL, JLU and the Arkham games for me.

Only thing that lowers my excitement for this is that it comes so close to the PS4, which I will begetting on launchday. Apart from that, this looks like a great Akham game! Finally set in Gotham (don't get me weong, the Arkham setting was great!) and it looks to feature m favorite assortment of villains. Love me more Bane, Joker, Deathstroke (!!) and finally Roman Sionis Black Mask (!!!!!) in a mayor role!

Next to Joker, Sionis is the creepiest, most disturbed guy in Batmans rouges gallery and I hope the game shows that! As much as I love the Joker, I hope he only gets a very great, but small role in the plot. Maybe the coolest and longest side mission is to catch him? Something like that.

Bane and Deadshot look better, Deathstroke looks cool, voice actors sound fine, the story premise is interesting, the gameplay looks good and probably will be better by the time they release the game so yes I'm definitely buying this game.

It just felt forced, perhaps too deep or something. I can't pin it down exactly, but it just wasn't at all the voice I've ever imagined Joker to have. I think that there were better voice acting options than him. The voice acting for this new game is sound though. Baker sounds like a younger Hamill-version of Joker, and Smith has all of my faith in his voice acting after the Ezio saga in the AC series.

I got that from the trailers, playing the game I came around... reminds me of John DiMaggio's Joker from the Red Hood animated film. I'm not sure if his voice suits his look in Injustice, but by god the actor did a mighty fine job anyway.

The Joker has a history of being impeccably acted, I can't think of a single incarnation of him in which he wasn't top billed. The Injustice version comes awfully close to being a third wheel though, which I guess is strange when he's acting alongside Conroy.

Moneygrab. Nothing about this game is appealing to me, and I will not be purchasing it, even though I loved the previous two games. No one from anything Batman related is involved, not even the director from the previous titles, and most importantly, no Dini! Also,the Assassin Creed guy is heading the project and that franchise is a friggin' abortion.

Also, because I know it's coming, BATMAN WOULD DESTROY DEATHSTROKE! I don't know when this cult started that think Deathstroke is the end all be all badass in the DCU and complain whenever he gets his ass handed to him, but it's friggin' Deathstroke! He will always be, in my mind, that guy who couldn't even handle a team of kid sidekicks.

@docluthorvondoom: yeah, he is for you and a big part of fandom, but for me and other he is clearly not. I don't wanna piss on what someone else likes, so I am okay with most people liking him, but for me he always was an odd choice and not how I imagine Batmans voice. But hey, I am one of those people who think that Bale is the best on screen Batman, including his Batvoice (yeah he did not nail it every time, but overall I love the growl voice) so... what do I know, right?

Bale? Are you kidding? Those Nolan movies are a friggin' joke, and Bale's a hack. Even Kilmer made a better Batman then Bale...hell, the kid with down syndrome down the street could do better then Bale...well, to each is own I suppose, but personally, I think you're a madman ;)

I agree, while Bale isn't my favorite (Bruce Greenwood is) I did like the growl voice, better way to hide the identity.

The growl was ridiculous. He doesn't need to to disguise the Batman voice, that's his voice; Bruce Wayne is the disguise. Conroy understood this; look at the early TAS episodes and you'll see what I mean.

That's what a misinformed fan would say,Bruce Wayne and Batman are one and the same.Guys like Nolan and Morrison understand that,it's other regressive hack writers who try to make Batman edgy and supposedly complex with this whole Bruce Wayne is a disguise or he's still a boy.Also Conroy abandoned his dual voice during the New Batman adventures.

Bale's growl though,THAT's comic Batman,Robin even joked about it once.But ofcourse lets just pretend as if Conroy is the only one who got the character while the others are a joke.

Also stop with your elitist snobbish attitude,people have their own preferences,who the heck are you to tell them that MOS sucks or that Nolan's movies are a joke?

Everything is a money grab at the end of the day,and with this post you have proven that you are a misinformed idiot.This game looks decent enough,plot wise it should be a hundred times better,atleast unlike the previous 2 they aren't busy recycling comic stories.

Batman would destroy Deathstroke? what horsecrap is this? Deathstroke has beaten the Titans more than once,I'd love to see Batman try to go up against Raven,Superboy,Tempest or Kid-Flash.

Yes! Completely. That is how almost everyone feels, and while people can have their own opinion I'm sick of people saying Conroy is the only person who does Batman justice. If you listen to Conroy doing both Bruce and Batman they sound the same. You don't think people would put two and two together. The richest guy in Gotham who returned to Gotham around the same time Batman first appeared.
