Batman: Arkham City Catch-All

Pages

When discussing things that didn't make it into the original and may be in the sequel, Dini said there was "perhaps a little more Batmobile action" they would've liked to include in Asylum.

Oh GOD, please no driving.

If ever there is a must buy, this is it.

The first one was spectacular. I'm very much looking forward to the sequel. As for the driving... well, I'll wait and see. These guys turned a previously crappy genre into something epic and brilliant. I'm happy to give them a chance.

This is definitely something I'm looking forward to. A bit worried they might have some issues making Gotham not feel too "gamey", but otherwise optimistic about the title.

Meh to Batman. Meow to Catwoman. Co-op femme fatale.

Where do they mention co-op? They do mention it's in a walled off section of Gotham, so no need to travel great distances.

Well guess I better tag this thread.

I loved the first one, so I'm posting here to keep abreast of it.

Those goggles make me think "Bugwoman" not "Catwoman".

That said, can't wait! AA was such a great game.

Looking forward to this; I loved the first one. I hope they will not implement vehicle sections as is implied in some of those articles. I hate vehicle sections.

I'm guessing you're not a fan of this design of catwoman then?

Everything but the goggles! THE GOGGLES THEY DO NOTHING!

SWMBO has declared this a pre order.

The original just didn't grab me. It was too much sneaking around. I like games that give an option: sneak around or punch the crap out of everybody.

I can't wait! I think the first was my favorite game that year.

Just finished reading Hush recently. Sounds like it could be an influential story for the game in the same way The Killing Joke and Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth were for the first game. That would not be a bad thing.

Did you give the challenges a try. Lots of beat everybody up portions there.

But overall, I thought the game was just a perfect balance of playstyles. I think the combat would have gotten stale had they not broken it up.

Admittedly, I didn't play it alot. I ended up returning it and got Demon's Souls instead. Now that's a game I want to see a sequel for.

Didn't like the first? Wow. Didn't think that was possible. It was easily my GOTY for 2009.

Some minor details.

Edit: And concept art for the sequel hidden in the original game?

Unless Shadow Complex 2 comes out first, this'll be my first day-one purchase, if not my first preorder.

Any achievement whores out there want to trade the GOTY version of AA for my non-GOTY version? 1000 shiny new GS.

I certainly am. The pearl necklace is some nice innuendo.

Proof positive that there will always be a GWJer with a dirtier mind - I had not even considered that aspect yet.

I didn't even realise that that was why pearl necklaces were popular.... it's not, right? Because now i can't think of any other reason why women would wear pearls apart from the expense....

My childhood is ruined!

You'll never listen to the ZZ Top song the same way again.

I've never listened to ZZ Top....

Good how they're only really telling us the setup for the game, not really plot details. Given that they obviously plan ahead (Sharp's secret room) I wonder if/what they plan for beyond this one.

Just reading that list makes my game gland salivate. Loved, LOVED AA.... hoping that AC will be AAA

Wow. Sounds like AC is going to be even better than AA. I think I'm going to need a mop and bucket to wipe up all the drool!

- Gadgets can now be used during fights - the GameInformer article mentions Batman putting explosive gel on the back of one of his opponents during a brawl.
- You can now pull off multiple counterattacks at the same time.
- Batman can now taunt his enemies via a button press.

Trying to make sure you had all 8(?) attacks in to get a full combo in AA was hard enough. This makes it sound like there are gonna be a few more attack types during a brawl.

*knuckles crack* bring it on!
