Batman: Arkham Origins creative director is fine with people being cyncial about the game
Batman: Arkham Origins’ initial announcement was met with a great deal of skepticism. Understandably, most of the series’ fans questioned Warner Bros. Montreal’s ability to build on Rocksteady’s success with the first two entries.
Creative director at WB Games Montreal Eric Holmes is completely fine with the widespread doubts, though feels like people’s opinions will change as soon as they get their hands on Origins.
“I would say that people have the right to be cynical; they have the option to be cynical. Come and play the game at one of these events where we bring the game. And I think as soon as you’ve got the pad in your hand, you’re going to see that this game is authentic and uses the same underpinnings and core mechanics of the previous Arkham games.”
Origins introduces a number of gameplay elements and a story that will be “great”, according to Holmes.
“And I think we have a great story…I can’t tell you to much about…but I can tell you I’m really excited about our story,” Holmes said. “I think it’s a very important Batman story and I think fans are going to love that probably more than any other thing in the game.”
