How Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Can Become Canon Again

New DVD release, , , ,
After years of rumors, reports, and leaks, Lucasfilm Games finally has a new Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic game in the pipeline. Mind you, it isn’t the threequel most players hoped for, but a remake of the original, spearheaded by Aspyr, the veteran studio that’s spent the last few years porting Star Wars classics to modern consoles, including next-gen and mobile versions of Knights of the Old Republic and its beloved sequel. But a remake of one of the best Star Wars games ever made is a different challenge altogether. Much will be said about what should and…

Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic Remake Can’t be Afraid to Change the Original

New DVD release, , , , ,
If you would have told me two, five…even ten years ago that we were getting a Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake that would update the beloved 2003 RPG with modern graphics, modern audio, and a few mechanical improvements, I would have been thrilled. In fact, I probably would have been upset if you told me that remake would go so far as to significantly change any aspect of the original game’s combat, story, or any of the other elements that have led many to call it one of the best RPGs of the last 20 years and…

Rumors of a remake have made the rounds for years, but it’s uber-reliable Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier who has finally given the hearsay a bit of credibility. Speaking on The MinnMax Show podcast (via IGN), Schreier confirmed the existence of the project and that Aspyr is the studio handling the long-awaited remake:…

Is Gotham Knights a Sequel in the Batman: Arkham Knight Universe?

New DVD release, , , , , ,
At long last, we have a new Batman game to look forward to, only WB Games Montreal’s new Gotham-set open-world co-op adventure doesn’t actually feature the Dark Knight.

How Gotham Knights Takes Inspiration from Batman: Arkham Knight

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The long-awaited reveal of the Gotham Knights trailer not only confirmed years of suspicion regarding the game’s title, villains, and release window, but it verified that Gotham Knights will at the very least take some inspiration from 2015’s Batman: Arkham Knight. While the trailer may make it seem at first like Gotham Knights is a follow-up to the Arkham trilogy of games, WB Games Montreal has made it clear that its new Batman-less Batman game is actually set in its own universe unrelated to the Rocksteady universe. But even if that’s the case, it’s clear that Gotham Knights takes at…

New DVD release, , , , ,
The Bat-Family are back baby! Well, they’ve never really been gone but despite their occasional appearances in the smash-hit Batman: Arkham games series we’ve never gotten a dedicated game focused on Batman’s numerous wards until now. Gotham Knights showcases Barbara Gordon’s Batgirl, Jason Todd’s Red Hood, Tim Drake’s Robin, and of course Dick Grayson’s Nightwing teaming up to protect a Gotham that’s left defenseless after the apparent death of Batman. Now, where might we have seen a story like that before… Batman: Battle for the Cowl was a 2009 miniseries written and drawn by Tony Daniel, with inks by Sandu…

Gotham Knights: Is Batman Really Dead?

New DVD release, , ,
Gotham Knight‘s debut trailer begins with a stunning sequence in which Bruce Wayne informs his closest allies that he is dead and that it’s now up to them to protect Gotham City. This sequence is actually an extension of the end of Batman: Arkham Knight, which saw Bruce Wayne initiate the Knightfall Protocol, ending his own life. While Batman’s death at the end of the game seems like an open and shut case, not everyone is convinced the Dark Knight is really gone. And while WB Games has certainly made it look like the Caped Crusader is really gone in…

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Slade Wilson has a complicated family life. He’s the premier assassin in the DC Universe, with super powers and a big beefy sword and a butler with wit sharper than Slade’s sword. He’s would seem to be the ideal Batman foil, but instead he’s the primary villain of the Teen Titans, and especially Robins in all their varying incarnations. And most of that rivalry comes from Slade’s dysfunctional family, which you can get a glimpse of in this exclusive clip from the upcoming DC animated feature, Deathstroke: Knights and Dragons. The movie looks to be a little bit about Deathstroke’s…
