Batman's most forgotten adventure? - Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate

[@90CelicaTRD]

Recorded in October for November, released in January. Noice.

[@Endocrom]

Whenever Bronze Tiger is not on screen, everyone should be asking "Where is Bronze Tiger?"

[@DasKame]

As we called it "Discount Black Panther"

[@guardiansparky1766]

Thank goodness for this timely November Video, KZbin life must be weird

[@WillKeaton]

"Stop!" "Hey! What's that sound?" "Everybody, look what's going down."

[@PhantomShadow224]

100% completed this game. I love that you can take down the 3 main leaders in any order and it changes the ending. Hilariously I beat up the joker first so black mask can finally do something and not get benched.

[@stevencates2069]

I'd like a Daredevil Game in this style. I think that's got some promise. Man imagine where we lived in the timeline where that Daredevil game, and the Gotham by Gaslight game never got cancelled.

[@artry93]

Agree. I don't mind another chance with Daredevil in the future.

[@SomeRandomJackAss]

I'd like a Daredevil game period! But taking inspiration from the Arkham games does make sense. Also Moon Knight.

[@KyleS.1987]

I think ReCore is pretty cool. Got an FPS boost on Series consoles and plays very nicely these days.

[@bobafett4265]

Honestly this game is super hype and very underrated, honestly if the OG Batman Arkham Origins got it's campaign ReReleased with the DLC I think throwing in the enhanced port here of Origins Blackgate would sweeten the deal, plus they complement each other so it makes sense to sell them as a bundle, WB if you're watching, good money there man.

[@IcepickEvans]

Kevin Conroy's animated series Bruce Wayne. That voice sells the character so hard to me, it's hard to find other portrayals satisfying. Something about animated series Batman was just different.

[@lavernebennet7395]

Roger Craig Smith also starred alongside Batman in an episode of the underrated Justice League Action cartoon as the slightly lesser-known hero Mister Miracle (I said SLIGHTLY). He gives a very bombastic performance, fitting for a showman like Scott Free

[@lesterparedes8358]

I played this game on Vita. I liked how it condensed many of the Arkham games' features into a 2.5 D Search Action game. My biggest problem with it was that once you defeated the enemies in an area, that area would stay empty for the rest of the game. Eventually, gameplay consisted of running around empty hallways looking for where to go next and it got boring. I wish they had made the enemies repopulate after a certain amount of time has passed or times you went through that same area. I wonder if they made this change for the big-boy console and PC releases

[@Brawler1993]

So I do remember this game but I did completely forget it got ported to consoles. I personally think Arkham Origins is a bit underrated. It's not great but I thought it was competently solid. "We finally know about the evil cage." But this isn't a Quantic Dream game.

[@wdcain1]

I got so hyped that I could wear the _Beware the Batman_ costume. It looked so good. I really wish we got a game of that show.

[@GamerSlyRatchet1]

I think we would’ve since Young Justice got a game and Green Lantern: The Animated Series also had a game in the works. However, the cancellations kind of ruined all that.

[@GamerSlyRatchet1]

@@buchiklop110 The moment Mattel refused to do a toyline for the show, everything went wrong. Even airing the episodes was its own kind of mess.

[@wdcain1]

@@GamerSlyRatchet1 I never even thought of that. BtB is the only Bat-cartoon not to get toyline so no surprise Cartoon Network canned it

[@MontyDotharl]

I think that show is the only thing Batman that is more forgotten than this game.

[@GamerSlyRatchet1]

I got this game when it was on discount and mostly because I wanted to be a completionist. It was honestly pretty decent. I liked how most of the boss fights felt pretty unique from each other, even if the Penguin one was incredibly frustrating. Also, it's the only Arkham game where you can actually EARN the skins instead of just getting them via DLC.

[@rbgrules]

The show is still on (unless they cancel after this season) and pretty fun. They just gave it a dumber new title so those not in the know are aware what the show is. It used to just be Pennyworth and now it's Pennyworth: The Story of Batman's Butler

[@Metaphizzle]

6:47 Oh no, they found Batman's one weakness... bullets. From a gun.

[@GenerationWest]

Jack Gleason in Batman Begins, It's also weird seeing him there, and before he was famous, so many people thought, "That's the new Robin in the Nolanverse." Ah, those were the days, when that was all we had... now over at DC, it's ROUGH. The only other famous prison in DC, is Belle Reve, where Amanda Waller picks out her Suicide Squad members. Do we need a Penguin show... no, but Matt Reeves believes in it, so at worst it'll be just fine. If can't pick the goat (even though he did do a "eh" live action one in Batwoman, but i'll never blame him for that), the late great, Kevin Conroy, I gotta go with Bale, but Kilmer had a certain look to his that was so 90's, but was just George Clooney.

[@lavernebennet7395]

idk there's Iron Heights (where the Flash's villains usually get sent)

[@DavidEarle]

Do we need a Penguin show? We had a Penguin show, it was called Gotham, the Riddler was in it, it was great.

[@KainGerc]

I have NEVER heard about this game. and I actually played through Origins and liked it. (despite the fact they kept reusing Joker as the main villain over and over)

[@tarekmoneimsaid]

"In touch with his feelings", she says to the man dressed as a bat to hide away from the pain of losing his parents. 15:02 yes, there is, the infamous Level Designer.

[@Dipshit_The_Clown]

Matt is right, we do not need a penguin tv show.

[@chachisvase765]

That ending sounded like a mix of Ultimate warrior, Hogan and Macho Man.... You really were DOING THE THING. Also for no reason at all TRIIIIIII

[@Simonskilamb]

I dont like that Tri said that

[@bocosta4751]

Val Kilmer is an amazing Bruce Wayne, I rewatched that movie a couple weeks ago and it still rules

[@GryphonICD]

8bit Isometric Batman needs an appearance on that list of forgotten titles. Or even "Lack of knowledge it even exists" lists.

[@gam3rtim352]

I beat this and still forgot it existed. I do not miss it whatsoever.

[@PhantomShadow224]

Takes place after Arkham origins and years before the batgirl DLC in knight. close-ish to Asylum give or take but not quite But hey at least that suicide squad plot thread is pushed forward a bit, right?

[@Zenlore6499]

I would say Arkham Underground is more forgotten. Shut down, even; in favor of a Game of Thrones game. Both mobile games, similar to Clash of Clans from what I remember. I actually got to see AU before it released, and a super early version of the GoT game!

[@frostreaper2311]

We do imo. Penguin rising to power is kind of an awesome idea for a mini series

[@MissAshley42]

I didn't forget this ga--There was a PC port?!!

[@Sabeythang]

So will you be playing Gargoyles Remastered on the Flophouse when that comes out? I'm really praying that it isn't merely a pixel-smoothed port of the Genesis game, hopefully closer to the DuckTales remaster in terms of production value, at least.

[@flophouseplays]

Yes!

[@ODD17Ymusic]

Yes Matt lol I got your Batman Begins king joffrey joke

[@lavernebennet7395]

Personally I really like Rino Romano's Bruce Wayne from The Batman (the 2004 cartoon, not the movie that came out last year).

[@jackkain7141]

8:01 Recording in October, for November, finally posting in January. LOL!

[@jamesd4223]

20:45 I never heard of Bronze Tiger until Michael Jai White played him in Arrow.

[@ghostmutton]

We need a penguin show starring real penguins playing as The Penguin.

[@wolfman-up7dh]

I never got around to this, despite being an Arkham Origins defender. Arkham combat is essentially 3D beat'em-up gameplay, so this format makes some sense.

[@HeinerGunnar]

Seeing the title: "What? Arkham Origins is pretty well known" Seeing the first seconds: "oh yeah I had no idea Origins got a handheld version"

[@BetaRayBenX10]

YES! You are 100% right, Splatterhouse DOES need to come back.

[@davep5698]

Doing Sony dirty, such a shame too that the Vita gets memed on, it has massive potential and it just quietly faded away. I mean it can run an entire PSP under it to such a degree you can use the Custom Firmware on the PSP mode for all the old school hacks too... Its just silly how much the Vita had going for it, except the price. Recording in october for novermber... meanwhile in january.

[@apollolux]

This Batman might not necessarily be sumo wrestling giant boulders into pools of magma anytime soon and it's clear he isn't in any particular hurry with the way Matt plays in this video, but I could certainly believe him as a Kevin Conroy soundalike for the games.

[@jcace13]

I'm on the internet right, and I like to think that I keep up with pop culture, so how can there be three seasons of an Alfred Pennyworth show that nobody has ever talked about? Literally not one word.

[@Bjhorn279]

To answer your question. No we don’t need a Penguin show. But you better believe I’m hype for it

[@noahsmith660]

Remember playing and beating this game on my 3ds, for some reason I thought it was a port of Arkham origins and picked it up @ GameStop for 8.99😂

[@premierjohn4321]

Vita mispronunciation was just for Liam. XD

[@Brownwolf502]

@Flophouseplays aren’t forgotting Gotham city Imposters

[@theliveliestcorpse2997]

I also enjoy Val Kilmer’s Bruce portrayal. Really struck me in the whole duality of the character. Also, I didn’t know this game was a side scroller. I thought it was just a piece of DLC for the main game.

[@Killdreamsdead]

Matt...no, we do not need a Penguin show.

[@silverroddo1468]

Electronic lock fire escape ladders? Seems more like fire trap ladders. Yeah, gottem.

[@davidromeroblaya7920]

It looks nice. The only experience I had with a 2.5D platform game was with Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project.

[@rudereckoning118]

How much longer 'til every Batman character has their own non-comic spinoff? When's our movie about Bane rising up, then falling as a wrestler, and then turning to venom to start winning again? How about a tv series where Mr. Freeze is trying to win money for his wife's operation by competing in winter sports? Why haven't we gotten a Gotham City simulator where you play as Ra's al Ghul trying to infiltrate the government? ...It's gotten a little absurd.

[@thereel_802markandchadmake4]

I liked this game just couldn't ever figure out the 100 percent for some hidden things and I considered it loose Canon but wondered why it disappeared from the digital store too maybe its back idk

[@DP3com]

I rented this for the 3DS during one of those promo $1 or $2 for 1 month Gamefly deals. Playing on the original 3DS, I recall finding it difficult to counter (X button on 3DS) due to the og 3DS's small glossy face buttons. Not a bad one and done kind of game as I personally didn't see much replay value after beating said game. Note: Armature did Resident Evil 4 VR.

[@Pariah6950]

ReCore defense force here. That game is... not great. But it's kinda cool. And boring. I had a decent time with it. Mostly. Sort of... Look, that's the most positive thing you're gonna hear about that game. Quite a shame. It had a cool mood and nice art. And it's a goddamn 3D platformer shooter metroidvania collect-a-thon. That's all the things I like. It's just not very good.

[@alphawindman]

A 2.5D Resident Evil game would be SO awesome. And while we're at it, imagine a Devil May Cry side scroller!

[@akawhut]

Recore is a rather neat game

[@rickdaniel7341]

I would have liked a Nolanverse Mr Freeze where he just stabbed people with icicles instead some sci-fi freeze cannon.

[@professorBofFPU]

Secret Six deserves the push that the Suicide Squad has been getting.

[@dasstu]

Rise of Sin Tzu deserves to be forgotten on the grounds that it's villain is named Sin Tzu.

[@rufusrepublic6910]

Good old Jack Gleeson in Batman Begins.

[@AidilAfham]

A 2.5D john wick game would be great

[@nugzulla9579]

we need a Clayface show

[@bobafett4265]

Honestly I will agree the handling of Blackmask in the Main Console game of Origins was pretty bad and deserved better, like I think the twist of Blackmask in that game being an impostor Joker still is a waste of a villain, I do feel like seeing the Red Hood before he became the Joker would've been a better compromise, plus the Red Hood was already a bit crazy before he became the clown prince of crime so it would've worked, plus there hasn't been any Batman game that really played around with the idea of a Pre Joker Red Hood, always the Robin one.

[@silverroddo1468]

Oh this Black Gate game doesn’t take place in Montreal.

[@Thefishforthedish]

Roger Craig was fucking Siegfried from Soul Calibur and I think he deserves more respect for that

[@Randomninja47]

Recore was fun! Until you hit the end game and they require you to grind out a bunch of useless things to get up the tower at the end. That's where I dropped the game. it was such a chore. I had this game on 3DS and I really enjoyed it. Gonna have to pick this up in a steam sale at some point and play it on my steam deck as I haven't played it since launch on 3DS

[@Heiru3]

I indeed remember the reference you made there

[@justaguy12345]

*holds up sign* When's Sawnic?

[@KamenStreamer]

There is one game more forgotten: Batman Begins The Game

[@silverroddo1468]

I would like a 2.5 wrasslin’ game ala that wacky Wrestlemania quest game.

[@crashtefano]

I have this game on the Vita

[@Darkryu256]

Batman Rise of Sin Tzu is more forgotten for sure

[@flophouseplays]

I constantly see people talking/referencing that one. Plus, it was a console game initially, that was out on Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo's consoles. I'd say it's much better remembered than this.

[@DamashiTheKaotic]

I still often think of Sin Tzu's soundtrack. I have not thought about Black Gate, since like 2014 despite going back to replay Arkham Origins every once in a while.

[@wdcain1]

Sin Tzu has appeared in a TAS comic and there is a great novelization of the game by Greg Rucka. Those have helped him have a small fan base.

[@CannibalKen]

In October for November, released in January lol. This game looks soild

[@PhazonDude]

Appreciated.

[@DasKame]

Holy Moly This Game Exist!

[@lavernebennet7395]

You say this is the most forgotten Batman game as if the ZX Spectrum game doesn't exist

[@flophouseplays]

No one really counts speccy games

[@lavernebennet7395]

​@@flophouseplays In that case, assuming we're also leaving out obscure ports of more well-known games, mobile games, and games for consoles that are already obscure, I submit: -The Konami BTAS Gameboy game -Batman: Gotham City Racer for PS1 -the Batman: Brave and the Bold game for DS and Wii -Batman: Chaos in Gotham for Game Boy Color -You technically don't play as Batman in Gotham City Impostors, but I think it counts

[@donkey7577]

8:00 it's early January of 2023

[@archangel2015]

Any of the batman the animated games.

[@captahar8818]

Facebook bought them last year, maybe they are working on the Megaworld.

[@micshork]

Wasn’t this a 3DS or PSVita game?

[@HiMyNameIsLeo]

I remember enjoying this game, but one could feel them rough edges and a sense of a small budget. I also recall hating the final boss fight so much. But most of this game has faded from memory. And of course Adam West was the best Bruce Wayne

[@SpellhausChannel]

I don’t care what people say I love Arkham Origins, really enjoy the story and interactions with the villains.

[@tannerprice2018]

When a 3DS/Vita Spin-off of Arkham Origins is better than Gotham Knights.

[@Simonskilamb]

Christian Bale / Ultimate Warrior voice?

[@BigFresh37]

Like… I know you were joking… but ReCore is legit good!

[@jolfer1334]

For November.....u mean January

[@georgedeboo9046]

0:40 - Where is Dark Tomorrow?

[@0ring0]

Re:Core wasn't a bad game, it was a solid game that shouldn't have been hyped to hell by Xbox because it was a console exclusive. If you have an itch for a polished PS2/OG Xbox action platformer. Check it out. Just don't turn on the subtitles for your robot helpers

[@trevorghalt1881]

David Mazouz killed it as Bruce Wayne in one episode of Gotham imo

[@skreamnredskull8941]

Plz dont kick me Mathew :c

[@goodshotcam]

Matt everyone knows it's pronounced VEE-TA and it means "life" come on man

[@marcgodley3064]

Couldn’t do it lol. I tried to finish this game recently and I just can’t. It’s so meh in just about every way possible. I knew shit was going downhill when I saw the first cutscene💀

[@silverroddo1468]

There was a cage based Bat-villain called: Steele Cage, his gimmick was caging his victims via a string, a stick and a box shaped cage. 🪤

[@Poisedanubis85VR]

I actually played this on ps vita was really good
