Maybe he just prefer how the 360 controller feels in his hands. :shrug:

Yeah, I could understand if that were the case. I was just pointing out that there shouldn't be any controls to re-learn since the two crontrollers have the exact same button layout.

Looks like it'll be awesome to play as Catwoman (unlike how aweful it was to play as the Joker)! :up:

Corded!?

Those look cool IMO. Only Xbox is corded because of the ridiculous proprietary MS technology that the charge a lot for.

Those controllers seem much more in keeping with the awful Schumacher Batman movies than with the Arkham Asylum/City games.

12 minutes of gameplay footage? Including Catwoman as a playable character? Sure!

I loved the line about Strange being gone for so long ...

The Riddler is going to be awesome in this game:

Pretty cool teaser. Dunno what the guy at the end is talking about not being able to see his face though; you can see it on the holographs/projections and if you pause it just right (around 1:14-1:15) you can see a decent close-up of the face.

DthRdrX 07-12-11 12:35 PM

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread
 
The Wall projections were used in Batman: TAS as well. Looks like they merged that take on the character with Jigsaw from Saw. The Riddler is my favorite Batman villain and he gets dumped on most of the time so I'm pumped!

RocShemp 07-12-11 06:18 PM

Great teaser. Second half of the video is worthless.

Pretty sweet collector's edition. Saw it on Facebook, but can't find it anywhere yet for preorder.

I wish I would have finished the first one. There was a section about halfway through that I just got extremely frustrated and got rid of it.

Which part? Except for the Riddler Challenges, I found the game rather easy.

That collector's edition WILL be mine :drool:

Yeah a friend of mine showed me that special edition last night. Normally this kind of thing isn't anything that interests me, but that set will be mine. Can't wait.

I'm curious as well. I didn't finish all of the challenges because I had rented from Gamefly, but I did want to finish the history/spiders challenge more than the Riddler challenges.

Probably the toughest section in the first game was the big chamber with the exploding gargoyles.

Yeah, that one room was pretty tough. I had lots of trouble running away from the Killer Croc in the sewer for some reason until I figured out what I was doing wrong, then I immediately passed that point.

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread
 
I got a little more than half-way through the first one before my PS3 crapped out on my and made me lose my game-save. I'd like to replay it just to finish it, but who am I kidding, I'll never get to it...

Penguin trailer

Spoiler:
Solomon Grundy! That was an awesome unexpected surprise.

Kevin Conroy hints at future DLC:


Professional Batman voice provider Kevin Conroy recently spoke to Comic Booked about his illustrious past and apparently infinite future with the franchise. On the subject of Rocksteady's upcoming Dark Knight simulator, Batman: Arkham City, Conroy shared some promising news: "The thing about Arkham City is that it's going to be an ongoing game," Conroy explained. "You're going to be able to download future episodes of it, so it's going to be going on for quite a while. I've been recording it for a while."

Spoiler:
and the surprise guest.


Great news about the DLC. If that's all story related and not just challenge maps, I'll gladly get the DLC. :up:

I just hope they ditched the stupid fighting scheme when the bad guys would charge at you, that got old really fast and was easily the worst part of the game.

I neeeeeed this game now. That CE is pretty nice too. I'm such a Batman geek that it's going to be hard to resist the temptation to get it.

Rocksteady wasn't happy with the boss battles, or the ending. The reason those things are what they are is because the studio didnt have the time needed to do what they wanted. This was right from one of the video interviews with them from last year.

The only part of the game that I found difficult was Ivy's boss battle or the one with the titans/henchmen right before the finale with Joker.

You can see a Mad Hatter hat sign in the background at .19

Also, a character reveal from Comic Con:
