Maybe it’s just that she’s NOT REAL.
See what I did there?
Because the asylum is now all of Gotham.
Not quite.
“The sequel, in development by Rocksteady Studios, has players taking Batman into Arkham City, the new maximum security home for all of Gotham City’s criminals. This new prison is described as a heavily fortified walled-prison in the heart of Gotham City.”
who in their right mind would put all of the criminals in the middle of the city? i’m going to blame the mayor.
on a more serious note, i hope arkham city does top arkham asylum. those covers look amazing.
wallpaper material, anyone? :pleased:
So, is it just going to be Batman playable, or might we be able to get down with others from the Wayne family? Damien and Cassie wouldn’t be too shabby…Babs and Steph with their lame-ass olympic gymnast-flavored moves are annoying.
I find it strange Catwoman is the main villain of the game. Usually she is just the love interest of Batman.
I edited out the text on the covers, and found a third one:

Thanks for that!
I will admit that I was hoping this game was just going to be able the Joker taking over Gotham City proper, and I don’t like the idea of a maximum security prison in the MIDDLE of the city…I’m sure the game is going to kick ass regardless. Wonder how much freedom we’ll get to move around at least…ands if we finally get to drive that damn Batmobile.
Yeah new prison in the middle of the city sounds illogical was hoping for a full blown Gotham. I haven’t played Arkham Asylum, but I heard some people refer to it as Metal Gear Batman is this a good description?
In a way they went the cheap way with putting a prison in the middle of the city. I think as a send off to this being Mark Hamil’s final Joker performance, Joker should die in the game.
Rocksteady just revealed that there was a hidden room in the original game that has concept art for Arkham City and a map of the layout for the second game.
Amazing.
Cass would be awesome. You’re dyslexic and therefore have twice as much trouble solving puzzles, but you also have 24/7 bullet time.
This was such a sick easter egg! Here’s a vid…

Never expected to have an easter egg like that. It was very well hidden for a long time.
The song in that easter egg reveal video is sick as shit. Anyone know what it’s called?
I hope it’s got that Escape from New York feel that a fucked up city overrun with loonies should have.
Good thing it’s at least a city, and not a prison. in terms of design, anyway
Sounds good so far
Thanks, MVC2FAN.
OMG…multiple simultaneous counters, gadget incorporation, and projectile counters…this is exactly what I wanted. If they up increase the speed at which thugs attack, this will be the ultimate sequel for me.
I’m crossing my fingers for an infinite wave high-score challenge. Or maybe even in game, so you can’t take your time walking around the city streets.
edit…read the rest of the article heh. Story and gameplay sounds great, too. Great pics of new thugs and weapons. Hope detective mode is limited.
