The Duskbloods is created after an exceptionally long concept phase

11/24/25 - FromSoftware reportedly invested significantly more time in the gameplay concept phase of The Duskbloods than in previous productions. The project is said to have been released before 2019 and, according to Chinese journalist Giwin, has gone through an unusually long validation phase.

Giwin, who has provided accurate information about Elden Ring (PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Xbox One, PC) in the past, says that The Duskbloods combines many innovative multiplayer mechanics. These include contracts, a kind of nemesis system and different victory conditions, which FromSoftware tests without adopting features from well-known genres such as Battle Royale or Extraction Shooter.

This weekend I've been playing lots of real arcade games; Qix, DK, DK Jr, DK3, Frogger, Pole Postion 2, Scramble, Galaxian, Super Pac-man, Joust, Spy Hunter and Zoo Keeper.

I would have lost my shit if I had unlimited access all these arcade games in the 80s.

I'd never played Zoo Keeper before. It's a fun and frantic game from 1983; gameplay is quite unique:

I'm on vacation all this week, so I'm keeping this early 80s gaming fest going!

It looks alright. When run into objects like gates with the Batmobile, they sort of just disappear. I can't remember if the PS4 did that as well. The frame rate doesn't slways feel like a steady 30fps.

Seen some videos, played on switch 2 it does have a solid 30fps but the frame pacing makes it look jittery while driving. The textures and resolution looks awful at times.

That's why I didn't pick up the trilogy. They should either do a switch 2 patch or pack in Arkham Origins.

Origins is the one I really would love to play again.

I remember Arkham Asylum was 8 hours long. I still own it on 360.

I bought City 3 times and twice my copy was literally broken as soon as I beat the Penguin.

I own Origins but got it late and my Wii U fell into disuse by then. What I played felt good, though having the same Gotham map as City felt odd, a bit cheap maybe?
