no rocksteady has me worried...
Is it me or are there a lot of big games coming really close to when the next gen is supposed to start. I dont remember this happening much in the past at all. At this rate i see no reason to buy a new system at launch if the old ones are still getting good games.

Yeah because
11 games in 7 years (8-9 if you count the development time before the first)
=
4 games in 5 years (6-7 if you count the development time before the first)

Summery from the GameInformer stuff
Story
- Takes place on Christmas Eve
- Years before the previous two games
- Mob boss Black Mask will give a fortune for Batmans head
- Top assassins and supervillains from the DC Comics universe are out to get Batman
- Cops on the take from the mob join the manhunt as well
- Batman needs to outsmart his enemies, find out why Black Mask wants him dead, and prove to what good cops that hes on their side
General
- Porting Arkham City to Wii U let the team get familiar with Unreal 3
- Doing a prequel lets the team carve a unique territory if Rockstar were to move the Arkham timeline ahead down the road
- Rocksteadys project is tightly under wraps
- Younger Batman also gives us the opportunity to refresh things a bit
- Combat system still in place
- Will have new layers, new opportunities, and new tactics
- New enemy types
- Batman not as finely honed as in the previous games
- Wont control the Batwing directly
- Batwing will figure into story sequences and acts as a universe-appropriate form of fast travel
- Has the traditional predator mode in which players swing from perch to perch, glide kick, string guys upside-down, etc.
- New remote claw that is like the grappler in Just Cause 2
- Batman targets two objects and fires out a claw
- This hooks into th efirst object and launches another claw and rope to the second object
- Can then pull the two objects together
- Use this to knoick enemies together, slam heavy objects into foes, string objects or people under a perch
- Can string up an explosive barrel under a perch, lure enemies with a sonic batarang, then cut the rope with a normal batarang, dropping the explosive on their heads
Game demo
- Takes place about an hour into the game
- Batman is perched above Jezebel plaza
- Black Masks assassins have stirred up the local thugs
- No towering walls keeping villains in check and many citizens call Arkham City home since there isnt a prison
- Amusement Mile hasnt been flooded
- Batman is looking to find out why Black Mask is trying to kill him
- Batman decides to go to the party to track down Penguin, who hears about everything
- Takes place on Christmas Eve
- Years before the previous two games
- Mob boss Black Mask will give a fortune for Batmans head
