HotChops Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 I could've sworn we had a Batman thread already, but I couldn't find it.Thanks to WTF for posting this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlET0kb5pmwIt's a great trailer, but there's bound to be complaints about the "gamification" of Batman. Apparently, he can now almost "fly" in a combination of gliding and Spiderman-esqe slingshotting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maritan Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Fantastic trailer! But then I've noticed that coin edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one was fantastic, with the only exception being the disappointing bosses. The sequel looks just....I mean we all know its gonna rock!

Strangelove Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 I hope they "fix" detective mode this time so its part of the game at all times or so its not so useful enough to use it at all times. I still havent seen what most of arkham asylum looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiShinobi Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I'll get Arkham City when it arrives, first day with no exceptions. I had put the first, Arkham Asylum, on hold and didn't pick it up until the GOTY Edition. To think of all the time I went without that wonderful game!

Hot Heart Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 The only thing that looks kind of lame is that Batman has a 'ground pound' style move. Don't know why that stands out compared to all the other stuff... (I was actually going to make this topic the other day with more details, but I am lazy) Here's Eurogamer's preview that makes it sound quite promising in ways that trailer does not express: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-03-11-batman-arkham-city-preview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time around, the gel gets a lot more combat action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SixTwoSixFour Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Batman: *Looks at explosive gel* *Looks at fist* *Back at explosive gel* Hmmmmmm.... *Sprays explosive gel on hand* Perfect. No way this idea can go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds kinda cool. I actually kinda missed some of his stuff last time. It was kinda lame not to see Riddler, but at the same time I liked what they did in the radio conversations. The last two especially are awesome. Right before you collect all of the trophies, you can see Batman locating Riddler through their conversation. When you collect them all, he's getting busted by the cops. Riddler: 0 Batman: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arbitarty Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Batman: *Looks at explosive gel* *Looks at fist* *Back at explosive gel* Hmmmmmm.... *Sprays explosive gel on hand* Perfect. No way this idea can go wrong. I did play through Arkham Asylum, and this style of game fit that environment perfectly, but now they seem to be opening it up to city exploring, I just don't think the style of game will fit. I think it would need to some crazy breed of Urban-Chaos/Hitman/Mirrors Edge. Regardless I'll be buying it and playing it through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've probably missed it somewhere, but why is it called Arkham City? Has part of the city been turned into a new asylum? Or has it just been taken over? What gives?

Mr W Phallus Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Basically the Warden has merged the populations of Blackgate Prison and Arkham (because mixing those two worked so well in the first game) and moved them together into a district of the city and fenced it all off.

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 That sounds pretty stupid. At least the game itself will be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Well, considering how eff'd up Arkham Asylum became after Joker's rampage, along with the other villains, it might have seemed like a good solution to containing all the baddies...

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Well hopefully this is the last time they use "Arkham" and move onto something else to explore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) The appeal to Arkham is that it contains (almost) the entirety of Batman's Rogue Gallery. When he had to take on the place, it wasn't just a few loons, but Joker, Croc, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Zsasz, even Bane. Another nice touch was that, though some (important) figures were missing, you had references to them either by visuals or documents. If anything, using "Arkham" is a good excuse for compiling every villain to take on Bats. EDIT: IGN does their Rewind Theater for the new trailer, and it actually shows some potential reveals. http://www.ign.com/videos/2011/03/15/batman-arkham-city-rewind-theater Edited March 17, 2011 by Atomsk88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Wouldn't be too hard to throw a lot of them in anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
