I can't wait for next year; so many good games. I've been looking forward to this game since it was announced, hopefully the final boss won't suck so much cock this time around.

In a selfless attempt to bring you more information than humanly possible, we've stormed the audio battlefields and recovered some nuggets of pure solid details, thanks to the OPM Podcast (#14).

The blowout starts from 01:00 onwards, and opens with the revelation that Batman: Arkham City is actually finished. Rocksteady can play from start to finish, meaning that the next year until release is just polishing, and adding new features.

One toy the developers are going to have to balance is something called the 'Boost Grapple' - it's the grapple from the first game, but it now fires you up into the air, so you can zip around the city "Just Cause style". If that doesn't sound cool enough, Batman can also punch through walls, providing their thin enough. Nice.

There are also now side-missions that you can choose to take along with the main objective; for instance, Zsasz is calling random telephone boxes and telling the people who pick up that they'll die in the morning. You can choose to get involved and try track him down, or just walk past. However, it's unclear how this might work in co-op. Yep, co-op was hinted at; journalists saw Catwoman sneak away into the night using the exact same moves as Batman. One asked whether this means co-op will be in the game, to which a developer replied "We're not talking about that right now". Nice.

And, finally, it rains a lot in Arkham City. Harley Quinn drenched in rainwater?

Nice.

Niceee

I never understood what kept people from moving from Gotham/Metropolis in the first place. You'd think with supervillains destroying the city on a weekly basis there wouldn't be much of an economy to sustain them + the whole getting killed thing.. oh well game looks sick

To be fair, if you look at either major comic book universe (Marvel or DC) superhumans are common in just about every major city. Maybe they feel safer in Gotham/Metropolis with a big guy like Superman or Batman looking after them as opposed to Bludhaven where they'd be relying on Nightwing (turned out to be not such a good idea >.>). Idk, it is a comic book after all.

I'm kind of confused as to why they're picking Catwoman for co-op over Robin or Nightwing but whatever.

That trailer makes it seem like Batman is fighting the cops?

Dick
Tim
Damian
are all awesome, shut your mouths faggots

Jason Todd is a decent anti-villain/anti-hero.

The story looks like it won't be complete shit this time. If we are lucky "Titan" won't even be mentioned. I really doubt the game won't be a baby's game like the first one though. Well, at the very least they might take away god-vision because everyone complained about it. But I already foresee the collect-a-thons, shitty combat system, and stealth being a once-in-awhile thing.

[Tyrath]

So it seems like the "Prey" storyline that everyone thought would be used in the third movie is for this game instead.

Ive watched the VGA trailer so many times. Those guys arent the cops but hired guns sent to test the bat.
Obviously we know what happened to them without even watching the trailer, but you should watch anyway.

I hope this one doesn't start immediately after the last game, then they can recycle some bosses (like Croc and Bane, even though I thought Croc's section was cool) without using questionable plot devices.

Also, was I the only one annoyed that Batman didn't take a lot of damage (as in bloodied more, suit damaged/torn more, etc) in the first one? I like Batman cause he is a strong, intelligent, resourceful man that can go toe to toe with top supervillians but at the end of the day he is still just a mortal man.
