Kevin Conroy not Batman in Arkham Origins but in "new Arkham game"
Voice actor Kevin Conroy recently said at Dallas Comic Con he was Batman once again, which led everyone more or less to believe he was reviving his role in Batman: Arkham Origins due out this fall. Not so.
Arkham Origins' Batman is to be voice by Ezio Auditore's Roger Craig Smith. Conroy apparently is voicing Batman in a "new Arkham game coming soon," so at least we have that.

Balls! Kicking them around the pitch on FIFA 14 won't be as lovely on PC I'm afraid as EA community manager Rob Hodson confirms the desktop version will use the current engine found in FIFA 13.
The new fancy Ignite engine that EA Sports gave a glimpse to yesterday is reserved for Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Fans are naturally upset especially as the consoles and PC are closer than ever.
