Interview with the Studio Director of Batman Arkham Shadow

[@GothamPaladin]

Call me out for every time I say “awesome” in this video because MAN 😂

[@Sir_Fart_The_First]

I counted 69,420 times

[@aguy8441]

Man? I love Man! Who the **** is Batman?

[@bensxbd]

Yeah. I’m man.

[@snapdragon9300]

So glad I stuck with quest vr and and bought a Quest 3 last Christmas. So many Vr games on steam now and ones coming makes it worth owning one. 😁

[@DrDodo117]

28:42 “the game isn’t live service” the way he said that tells me that he also thinks suicide squad is dog shit and he has my infinite respect for that

[@inshal6420]

This guy even takes the Arkham comics into account. Wow im so happy he’s game director. If they make a sequel hire Paul Dini and we will have the perfect Arkham team.

[@Aldgri]

One thing I really liked about this interview is how he addressed the peoples reaction to this game being VR, it’s reassuring to know that these people working on the game aren’t oblivious to our perspectives

[@batgoat0757]

I’m more hopeful about shadow now. That’s awesome you got this interview.

[@Knerd_YT]

Absolutely insane, you've officially made it paladin🎉

[@ryanyayayaya]

goat

[@GothamPaladin]

You right there with me bro

[@Andrewshafer2005]

Hey he mentioned you in Arkham videos during the Q&A video

[@shawnkurtz4424]

This type of game will truly show if batman arkham videos is truly batman.

[@cantsuggestareasonablename9101]

He luckily has vr. He managed to become Ezio in vr and now HE will become batman.

[@Official_Ardo]

I was originally pretty skeptical about Batman Arkham Shadow, but after watching the interview, I'm glad to see that this game being in vr. As someone who finds the most enjoyment out of games with good stories, I'm really excited to see Camouflaj be able to focus on that storytelling aspect through vr and have a new, refreshing and hopefully the greatest Arkham story out of all the arkham games.

[@haarisajmeri9811]

When he mentioned half life alyx that stole my heart meaning he actually knows how to make a game

[@HunterRamirez-rl3by]

He sounds very passionate and it was really interesting hearing him talk about how they are doing the combat

[@haarisajmeri9811]

@@HunterRamirez-rl3by I am excited about the explosive gell stuff because it's very interesting to see what predator encounters they are cooking

[@garfieldfan925]

I bet Ryan is glad to meet someone like yourself

[@Qrepros]

Arkham Videos gonna cook even with VR combat bro-

[@cjthebeast2654]

Arkham Videos dude is just casually gonna develop Batman level hand to hand combat skills in order to make it look like Batman himself is in control and not someone controlling him.

[@JorgeOHara120]

I think I wanna buy a quest 3 now for whatever reason🙄

[@davidchittick6783]

I love his channel. It felt like it was really Batman playing the game🦇

[@ForSparta3195]

Even tho I can’t afford a meta quest hearing him talk about the gameplay actually has me hyped

[@coolertuep]

Prices go down in the future, you can still play this games later. Its not running away

[@AnxMa]

When I see the word 'Arkham' it makes me miss Kevin Conroy so much. He was perfect. I got a voice acting background and have to say that his voice has been such an inspiration for me since the Batman the Animated Series. The vocal training was really tough, sometimes without noticeable results for months but actors like him are a great impulse to not give up. You almost saw me as Leon in those new RE games :) Great video.

[@officerspooder]

you are everywhere

[@garfieldfan925]

Oh my goodness, I remember you. You were talking about Yuri Lowenthal though. And you commented the SAME exact thing on every one of Blitzwinger’s Spider-Man 2 playthroughs. We did almost see you as Leon in those new RE games :)

[@AnxMa]

@@garfieldfan925 Hi, yeah, sorry about that. I like talking with ppl and sharing our stories. Plus I want to mention Kevin Conroy, on November 15th it's gonna be the second anniversary of his passing. On top of that I got a new voice demo that I 'need' to promote because we live in 'insta famous' times and without it the casting ppl don't even bother to look at you :(

[@AnxMa]

@@officerspooder Yeah, sorry bout that.

[@garfieldfan925]

Batman arkham videos in his first vr freeflow encounter: "First, distract target" *smoke pellet diversion "Then block his blind jab. Counter with cross to left cheek" *Counters "Discombobulate" *cape stun, begins beatdown with rib cracking body shots *another thug approaches "Secondary target attempts a wild haymaker.

[@wolfman100hits]

Discombobulate

[@snapdragon9300]

Sounds like Sherlock Holmes.😂

[@X2.Silent]

Yooo that's crazy bro!🔥🔥🔥 What a pleasant surprise man.

[@Joe-cy5hm]

Huge respect to Ryan. You can tell that these guys really care about the franchise and want to release a high quality product

[@cmdr.cannoli]

Bro mentioned arkham world and arkham blackgate. Franchise is in good hands bois

[@maxuspoint]

Yeah unplayable for console players

[@TheAmazingSpiderGuy_99]

WB seriously asked, “How are you gonna make this an entry worth of the Arkham franchise?” when they allowed Rocksteady to ship SSKTJL. 😂😂

[@inshal6420]

Funny enough they thought WB Montréal wasn’t doing a good job so they sent it to their best dev team lol

[@stylish1128]

Please if this game is successful, you need to make another proper console arkham game

[@HunterRamirez-rl3by]

This is a proper Arkham game

[@NakedSNake764]

It is not a proper arkham gmae lol

[@B-SybrZaku-ThendHaloAirsofting]

@@NakedSNake764more proper than Suicide Squad is

God I love him. Actual care and attention. Wish it would’ve had a pc port though

[@Ronkly]

35:42 HOLY SHIT, HE ACTUALLY KNOWS ABOUT BATMANARKHAM'S SHITPOSTS

[@Hostile-VR]

I love Ryan Payton's interviews, each one is pure gold :) Thanks for explaining the difference between Rat King and Ratcatcher :)

[@PooCrizzap]

So cool that you got an interview with them!

[@Comicbroe405]

Damn this is a pleasant surprise. And great questions dude.

[@jytggbt]

he basically just conformed Harvy dent is either gonna become two-face in the game or by the end of the game with his comment the people in power won't be in power anymore, I think hes talking about the mob families, I could be wrong but either way I'm so hyped for this game

[@Spenglenoodle]

The Arkhamverse is in the right hands with Camouflaj

[@purson8]

Tue way he talks about the making of the game feels like this is going to be a huge love letter to the Arkham games

[@TheBass-ph8wk]

I'm pretty confident in this story now, if I happen to get the money for a meta quest to play Arkham shadow I most certainly will. This seems like a really cool story tbh. I like seeing Scarecrow without all the work he had done in Knight and the mask in Asylum. Maybe we'll get like Joker looming in the background but not quite having a appearance like in Gotham Knights. I'd like to see what happens to Harvey Dent that makes him think Maroni throwing acid at him is Batman's fault like he thinks in Knight in this game as well

[@canvasassassin1342]

this is some thing that I think will have people looking for it 20 years later I feel

[@Slashbox22]

I love this guy and his respect for the games and fans

[@MrAnt728]

Ngl, this interview made me wanna buy a vr

[@coolertuep]

Its amazing, I prefer it greatly over normal flat screen gaming

[@Marchew1200]

Im glad he mentioned half life alyx. This game should be studied by every vr game developer.

[@Andrewshafer2005]

If he manages to pull the combat off without any flaws...he deserves a medal 🏅

[@BlueGhost7097]

I was already going to get the game because of what they did in iron man vr no matter the cost of it but now im hooked, camfoulage take my godam money.

[@kingstonmontgomery5074]

I’m praying this game is fire the same people cooked on the Iron Man game

[@ThatReplicant]

This game is such an amazing surprise for 2024. I had also just recently bought a Quest 3, so this is perfect.

[@GorgBlack]

I could have accidentally missed it, I decided to quickly look at the points that interested me, but will Robin and Batgirl be in the game? Dick Grayson became Robin soon after Origin (if we take the multiplayer mode), but about Barbara, I don't remember exactly when she became Batgirl. Although there is one idea what can be done with Dick, say that he has already become Nightwing and left for Bludhaven, and Jason Todd has not yet had time to spin the wheels of the Batmobile

[@GothamPaladin]

I didn’t ask about them unfortunately, however he said there are characters yet to be revealed, so there’s a chance!

[@Jamess-tv]

3:56 - continue 23:06 - maybe continue 25:50 - continue 35:40 - Arkham world mentioned

[@Protoqwq]

I was wondering how I'd be able to fight and the way he explained it, in excited to be beating the shit outta enemies

[@askaboutcesar]

Let’s go bro I’m not stressing no more I finally know what’s up thank you GothamPaladin💯🎥

[@TravisMackie12ft4]

I'm cool with the gel launcher, but I think it would be cool if you could still draw it yourself, maybe make it a personal selection for the player, and if you choose to draw, have you trace along an in game stencil of a bat logo or something.

[@coolertuep]

Well you can in the Vr games breachers ^^

[@bubblerap415]

Great interview and it make me wish for the success of the title for the developers

[@Airhockey3000]

Awesome interview. I’m optimistic

[@iSakkatGaming]

I remember it being leaked after Iron Man VR has been ported to Quest 2 but only on VR Twitter and VR Facebook Groups. I'm not sure who posted it tho, I think it's either Matteo or Luna.

[@DevVRAR]

We didn't know it was an ARKHAM games though. Only that it was a Batman VR Game.

[@Ronkly]

I don't have a Quest 3 (I have HP Reverb G2 instead) but I really hype for this game. The way they made combat, the way they care about lore, the way Ryan looks excited to speak about the game are really awesome Why didn't you talk about the Arkham games' community? :D

[@Deez561]

I’m excited to see this

[@jumbojimbo706]

I haven’t heard about the stealth yet though. That was always my favourite part of the Arkham games

[@kieranwrightstone2199]

Can’t afford a Meta Quest, but I can’t wait to see more of this game.

[@cantsuggestareasonablename9101]

It’s going to be amazing

[@cantsuggestareasonablename9101]

My perspective of vr changed and I realised that vr has an immense amount of potential. I also didn’t feel like I was involved enough in a typical flat screen game and I think vr will solve that problem for me.

[@Albert-ru7ob]

I heard that there’s rumors about a cheaper version of the quest called the 3S that is supposed to come out sometime later this year. Not sure how true but I hope it is because I also do not have 500 dollars for a meta quest…

[@ilikestuff8218]

they're releasing a cheaper version if you can wait longer, Quest 3S which is probably $300

[@LucioSimons]

GothamPaladin is the best guy ever and i love his videos ❤

[@malic_zarith]

I hope this game is popular, because I'm enthusiastic about vr. Though tbh the quest 3 will be the first time I buy the expensive headset.

[@thedarkknight727]

I expect the gameplay to be like the Dishonour games. But they might surprise us yet. 😉

[@hands_0n543]

Honestly if this game is anything like what im imagining i wouldn’t mind a sequel still in VR with even more advancements and unique features

[@arkhammythsandtheories9058]

hey man I love the videos you have been making. I just started to get back to theorizing on the arkham series too and I wanted to know on if you can go start on talking about the the three different Arkham Asylum endings since they could have sent meanings on things that occurred in Arkham Knight. My one thought was that Scarecrow's Arkham Knight Toxin was changed with the Titan (he used the Titan to increase the effects of the toxin which could have been a reason to why it was so much more stronger)

[@patrickallen13]

This got me hype ngl

[@mangafurie7698]

I hope one day there will be a Batman Arkham beyond game. But I'm not gonna lie, even though I don't have a VR, I am happy to see a passionate developer who likes the Arkham universe, i hope this game will please people.

[@GoldenGaming2007]

Imagine Paladin gets credits in the game as the devs used his videos for reference

[@the_frick]

I’ve seen some other interviews with Ryan, and I gotta say, everything he’s saying just sounds like peak

[@MuchDrOrange]

This game has so much potential, especially if they heavily utilize the VR aspect of it and lean into the horror side of things. Only thing that sucks so far i think is that its only on the Quest 3. Edit: Also, the combat sounds amazing and honestly i think it will do a good job at recreating the mainline arkham games combat while also expanding on it.

[@HBKshowstopper635]

this interview has made me start thinking about how i can get a meta quest 3. well done.

[@TMFUncharted]

I really hope we can change the suit as well

[@Beyond386]

BRO THIS IS FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@lydiawoolfy8952]

I think this guy did a great job answering all the questions and he seems like a genuine Arkham fan, but It really is shame how this is not only VR, but a Meta Quest 3 exclusive. The Arkham playerbase will definitely be alienated by this. Even if its a fantastic game, not all the fans will be ABLE to purchase this expensive hardware.

[@coolertuep]

Spiderman 2 is only on ps5 which is same price.

[@lydiawoolfy8952]

@@coolertuep yeah I get its annoying if you aren't a ps5 gamer but at least ps5 is an actual console, unlike the meta quest that doesn't have many games and is more gimmicky.

[@coolertuep]

@@lydiawoolfy8952 I disagree, the Quest 3 isnt gimmicky , its a console as well with thousands of games and i personally have way more fun playing on it compared to playstation 5, which is once again the same gaming expierence we have for 30 years just with better graphics. For good AAA games on Quest 3 I can recommend Resident Evil 4, Assassins Creed Nexus, Walking Dead S&S, Medal of Honor A&B, Iron Man Vr, Star Wars Tales, Breachers, Asgards Wrath 2, Riven, Myst and upcoming games like Batman, Metro Awakening, Alien, GTA SA and Hitman 3 reloaded are also promising

The company and director are great people! The game didnt leak, they made it with passion and all the things you want to hear I heard from him. I hope this becomes a great success and we get either a remake for the consoles or another arkham game. They could work with rocksteady or wbm and make a new console game. I trust them more then wbm or rocksteady in the lead. Just have camouflage call the shots and the other teams help out with development.

With how bad SSKTJL has bombed, I just hope they REMOVE it from the Arkhamverse Canon, and give pathway to an ACTUAL, Arkham Knight sequel. 🙏

[@calvinrivera8423]

Good thing is the Batman that was killed in ssktjl is not the one from the Arkham games we’ve played. There’s lots of hints in the game leaning towards the Batman that died being a variant

[@valentinarose6859]

Please say this is coming on PSVR2?!!!❤

[@ExarKun0]

For nearly 30 years of my life, this is the first Batman game I won't get to play in the near future... I played every Batman game on release date since Batman Forever and Batman&Robin for PS1, I even played Arkham VR, all the Gameboy, PSP and the arcade Batman games and Batmobile racing games. Sad thing is I have a VR... I have a Rift, Index and a Quest 2.... I won't buy another VR headset unless they offer something real different... Hate that Facebook decided to release it exclusively on Q3 and not PCVR or Oculus PC Store... But I'm sure this game won't be good as Arkham Knight VR mod.

[@RedcoatTrooper]

There should be a new cheaper Q3 coming out soon, The Q2 was always going to get replaced at some point in standalone.

[@polishautistic2137]

i wish you did ask if we can break some arms like batman did in previous games

[@Mysterious-sb9hu]

when xbox buy wb rocksteady be own batman so eat that Vr

[@DivineKnight_115]

At the least although most people won’t be able to play this game for a long time if ever, the story isn’t retconning original characters and is proper canon to the 4 Arkham games.
