That might seem like the most obvious, &#8220;Uh yeah we want it&#8221; response&#8230;ever, but here&#8217;s where it gets tricky.<\/p>\n<p>I have not been able to confirm this game&#8217;s validity and that&#8217;s why even if I do share the news, it will be listed as a rumor.  I normally put up stories if I&#8217;ve either seen it with my own eyes or received word from a trusted source affiliated with the project.  In this particular case, it&#8217;s more along the lines of rumblings and small talk than anything concrete.<\/p>\n<p>I contacted Rocksteady about this rumored project and as expected, didn&#8217;t get a confirmation or denial, but I&#8217;ll tell you that it&#8217;s definitely something that if true, would make me extremely happy.  The ironic thing about this is, that after handing the Batman: Arkham City team PGN&#8217;s Best Adventure Game of E3 2011 award last June, I even recommended a few people at the booth, this very idea to be their next project.<\/p>\n<p>On the one hand, the people where I&#8217;m hearing rumors from in no way knew about the conversation that I had at E3 about this game&#8230;which makes me think it is possibly true.  On the other hand, it could just be a big coincidence (yet coming from a couple different places), not to mention a couple of other parts that make me feel a little skeptical.<\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s where you come in.  I&#8217;ll give it a couple of days for you to voice your opinion and either say:<\/p>\n<p>1) <strong>&#8220;Don&#8217;t even bother sharing it if you don&#8217;t know it&#8217;s true. If it turns out fake, it&#8217;ll just piss off the internet.&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nOR<br \/>\n2) <strong>&#8220;What the hell&#8230;why not. We&#8217;ll take it as a rumor and not complain if it turns out false.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Believe me, I&#8217;ve learned a lot as a journalist over the years and know the different types of people out there reading the news.  You&#8217;ll never please everyone, with the exception of possibly giving them the full retail version of a secret game, 2 years in advance&#8230;and even then, some will complain that you didn&#8217;t fluff their pillow before you left.  So I figured I&#8217;ll give this one to you and let you decide what I do with it.<\/p>\n<p>And I know some will ask so I&#8217;ll answer it now.  1) No, this isn&#8217;t Title Fight related and aside from a couple of characters that I know and haven&#8217;t been able to share just yet, new details on that game will be scarce for a bit longer.  2) No, this is not the Wii U\/3DS game that I came across.  I&#8217;m really hoping to reveal that one before the end of the month, but can&#8217;t promise anything.<\/p>\n<p>If you leave a comment below, say whatever you wish, but with it&#8230;pick one of the two <strong>bolded<\/strong> options and when I get enough feedback, I&#8217;ll either shut this story up or give you a rumor that if true, will be very, very cool.
