Why It Might Not Be As Good...
2. Warner Bros. Games Montreal
In April 2013 it was announced that Warner Bros. Games Montreal would be serving as developers for Batman Arkham Origins, taking over from Rocksteady Studios. When I first heard this news, I was in many ways, worried. Worried that WBGM would ruin all the good work that Rocksteady Studios had built up over three years. I felt like WBGM would make it less darker and grittier than Rocksteady Studios did in Asylum and City. I thought that WBGM would turn this game into a complete disaster. I realise now that I may have overacted somewhat. I look at gameplay footage now, and it does look reasonably good, but I feel that they have decreased the darkness and grittiness of the game and made it more "polished" - that may be because it's based in Gotham, though. If that is the reason, then I think they could have gone with a much darker Gotham, as I felt that the darkness and roughness of the surroundings brought a real atmosphere to the game originally.
