Chindie Posted June 1, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted June 1, 2011 More and more getting revealed about this, and it's looking great. The latest reveal is interesting... if also could be construed as quite a big spoiler. Not so sure about that choice myself, but the rest of it looks great. It looks like they intend to make it a little more open than Arkham Asylum was, which I buy into, but not quite making it open world. It also looks like they just plummed what was left of the roster for the bosses - Two Face, Penguin, Dr Strange all confirmed, and the Joker is, of course, back. Really looking forward to it, the first game was great fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted June 1, 2011 Author VT Supporter Share Posted June 1, 2011 You really should, it's a great game. It has this curious quite old school feel to it that I really liked. It's a completely modern game that taps into the nostalgia of an old action adventurer. It could almost be called a bit Metroidvania-lite game in 3D on reflection - progression of gadgets to open up new routes and options, very old school style bosses, tight fight mechanics... If you like Batman, or remember the 90s animated series (where everyone had a very square jaw), it's also like a 20 hour long geekgasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 It's superb Dem, you should definitely play it. The combat is ace, the enemies are ace, the locations are ace, and sneaking about in the shadows taking down bad guys is ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 yea I loved the first game. I thought what they did with Scarecrow was really brilliant, even if it was only a simple platform puzzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jat_r Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 First one was insane! Didn't expect it to be so dark! Loved it! Looking forward to this game big time. Tempted to play the first one again now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 So Robin won't be playable in the main game, but in challenge maps only, and you get the code for the DLC from new copies. In the US it's an exclusive for Gamestop (i think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted August 3, 2011 Author VT Supporter Share Posted August 3, 2011 Preorder bonus costumes. Not all of these have been confirmed for the UK market, only the 70s style (ShopTo) and Batman Beyond (Gamestop), along with Dark Knight Returns (i.e. the fat one) in the Collectors Edition. But you'd assume they'll either get picked up by a UK retailer or offered later on. Much love for the Animated Series one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted August 3, 2011 Author VT Supporter Share Posted August 3, 2011 Its accurate to the comic - in Dark Knight Returns, Batman is in his 50s and been out the game for a while so has, er... Bulked up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not know that at all. It seems to lots of muscle though so I guess that makes it OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted August 14, 2011 Author VT Supporter Share Posted August 14, 2011 Arkham Asylum, the first game Dem is talking about, is out and has been for a fair old while. Its a great game and cheap now. The sequel, Arkham City, is out in October and looks very good indeed as the stuff in this thread attests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
