NO MORE RIDDLER TROPHIES WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

A two year development window, but 1.7 times bigger than GTA and with side-quests that are supposedly "3 hours long"?

This will either be the most barren open-world game or there's going to be a ton of new ways to riddle (heh) the world with low-effort content. I guess that's pretty standard for open world games, though. I really don't think this would be a big game of the year contender, at least based on the rumor thus far. But we'll see, hopefully it's at least more interesting than the past two games.

Sweet. Im ready for a new Arkham game. Didn't feel Spider-Man, so this would be great.

Is it supposedly by Rocksteady (Asylum/City/Knight) or WB Montreal (Origins)?

It says over 2 years and I'm assuming that's as of now so with an Oct/Nov release that's about 3 years. It also says EACH side quest is 3 hours of story.

I was expecting it may be as of now as well, but even then I question how great of a game they can make in that time frame with goals as ambitious as are currently speculated. 

I know that it says 3 hours of story for each side quest. The reason I said it would be barren is because side-quests which are as long as 3 hours require a lot of time to make, especially if they use that length appropriately and don't pad it out. I don't think they would be able to make a lot of side-quests under those conditions, even in the span of three years and with a large staff. With an open world that's 1.7 times bigger than GTAV's, that means that a lot of space is either A ) going to waste or B ) isn't being used to contain unique quests, but rather as a detour in the middle of said quest. I don't think either scenario is very charitable. 

If "over 2 years" is closer to 2 1/2 - 3 years, then I admit that my concerns might be a bit overblown. It's just speculation anyways . 

I wonder what engine it will use. (modified) UE3 like Arkham Knight, first UE4 Batman game or something entirely different.

I don't think i believe anything relating to Arkham-leaks anymore

Great to hear the development of a AAA game is in crisis in name only for once.

Cant say im excited or impressed by what I read, but I'll wait to see if its real and what they have to show for the game play.
