Flying bat-vehicle! Also, the kid singing: is that the actor who played 8-year old Bruce Wayne in Begins?

Arkham City: Batman Simulator

paolo. — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 15:02:39 +0000

Arkham City is the best Batman simulator at the moment.

I just completed the main campaign yesterday and my save file says I’ve only just finished 41% of the game. I still have a bunch of upgrades, side quests, Riddler trophies/riddles, challenges and the whole Catwoman campaign to look forward to. (haven’t downloaded the Catwoman DLC since the PS3 needs to be repaired)

The absolute best thing about Arkham City is how they got the feel of rooftop-hopping right. I wouldn’t know the exact feeling based on personal experience, but the game presents it in a way that feels right … based on years of comic books and cartoons.

Completion of Arkham Asylum meant that you could continue with your saved game in a largely empty facility. This time around, after the main game is complete, you could spend hours just jumping, grappling and gliding off rooftops and then divebombing into the nearest group of (respawning) thugs.

Some of the boss fights in this game are largely the same fight: big bad + a bunch of thugs. Which is probably my only complaint about the game, and which is why the Mr. Freeze boss fight was so memorable.

There are a lot of character DLCs for this game which expands it a bit more, but I’m secretly wishing they were all unlockables instead. I want this one:

Next thing to look forward to: Uncharted 3.

(Oh, and that ending.) If you add that ending, the “Demon Spawn” easter egg and the DKR skin, what we’re looking forward to is a possible “old man” Batman sequel. Which would be awesome.

Arkham City!

Okay, so I don’t have a copy yet. My best friend was ringing up my phone while I slept – I suspect it has something to do with Arkham City and gloating. This Friday! This weekend! Most definitely. Here’s the launch trailer until then:

the dark knight rises, but who’s that guy?

The Dark Knight Rises already has a teaser out, and since it’s been posted all over, let’s do something different: let’s ask a simple question.

Who’s that guy in the background? (Click to enlarge!)

Who do you think it is? Will this turn out to have a deeper meaning (which is how most Nolan teasers work) in the actual film? Is it a misdirect? Let the wild speculation begin!

More Batman-related things — here’s the Dark Knight Rises poster:

Nolan’s really stuck with the crumbling-buildings-as-posters theme in the last few years, hasn’t he? Not that I mind at all. It’s always like this with Nolan movies anyway, ambiguous teasers a year away.

October!

Since I’ve been playing way too much Team Fortress 2 lately, here’s the month-old trailer for Gotham City Impostors, the class-based FPS centered around the Batman universe. (Which is still a dumb idea. Batman isn’t exactly known for his gun-carrying. Or encouraging citizens to take up arms. Except old-TDR-Batman, if you so choose to correct me on the last statement.)

Batman: Year One Trailer!

The last time I tried to post a sneak peek for Batman: Year One, the video was taken down. Well, here’s the trailer:

Okay, so earlier, I posted the Batman: Year One sneak peek (Which didn’t turn out so great, since the video was removed. I added another video from a different source, but it seems like they’ve removed that as well. Lame!) and now here’s a look at the gameplay for Batman: Arkham City:

Two words: batglide, batglide. Here’s hoping this video doesn’t get removed.

Also, thinking ahead, here are other e3/Arkham City videos on the YouTubes:

It’s a great year to be a Bat-fan! Batman Arkham City comes out later this year — and what’s this? Batman: Year One! Here’s a sneak peek:

Check out the storyboards on this one — lifted from the panels. Will this be the best Batman animated film yet?
