Okay, let’s face it — I have an unhealthy obsession with the upcoming “Batman: Arkham Asylum” video game. Every new glimpse of the game has impressed the heck out of me and made me more eager for its release date to arrive… but I know I’m not the only one around here feeling that way.
While I’m worried that no game could ever live up to my grand expectations for “Arkham Asylum” at this point, the project’s latest promotional video does little to bring my hopes back down to Earth — in fact, it only seems to inflate them even more. The video features a bunch of new gameplay footage and interviews with the game’s developers, includes some commentary from head writer Paul Dini, who’s made a long career out of scripting Batman’s adventures in both comics and various animated television series (not to mention his role on the creative team for “Lost”).
In fact, I enjoyed the latest promo video so much, I even snagged a few images from it to include in this post.
Check out the following three screencaps I grabbed from the “Inside the Asylum” video, featuring one of the most creepy images of the Joker I’ve ever seen (check out those crazy eyes!), a nice shot of Poison Ivy that doesn’t leave much to the imagination, and a still image from the Killer Croc cinematic. the last one’s my favorite, as it gives you a pretty good look at the level of detail in Croc’s face and skin.
“Batman: Arkham Asylum” hits shelves August 25 on Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC.
What do you think of the new video? Looking forward to the game as much as me? Is that even possible?
