Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum Sequel

How could they possibly know that more than six months from release?!

Anyway, quality over length for me.

Wasn't that pretty much the length of the first game?

A good, solid 8 hours sounds fine to me. The first one was such a great surprise, I can't wait for Arkham City.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum Sequel

Its took 8 hours for the developers, who knew everything about the game, to get through it.

Yes. I have played through the first game in a single sitting several times.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum Sequel

Actually they recently stated 12-15 hours for the main campaign, and that is excluding the side-missions which there should be a lot of. Over 20 hours for everything.

Some of the villians leaked to the official website the last few weeks, via avatars, but were taken down. The game is huge, with at least a dozen or so villians, one of which was an awesome shock for me! This was a person that was not even mentioned in Arkham Asylum.

My anticipation level for this game is only exceeded by Uncharted 3. I can not wait for this one!

Mr. Freeze?

His cell was in the game, but that was it.

Villians that I know about:
Spoiler:

Joker
Harley Quinn
Two Face
Catwoman
Riddler
Penguin
Mr. Freeze
Bane
Zsasz
Talia
Killer Croc
Solomon Grundy
Poison Ivy
Calendar Man
Black Mask
Prometheus
Hugo Strange


Also:

Spoiler:


Alfred ... takes Oracle's job.
Oracle: Gone missing ...
Quincy Sharpe: Took credit for the Arkham Aslyum mess being cleaned up and Arkham City being created.
Gordon: Running for something and probably looking for his daughter ....
Nightwing (Arkham Toy spotted for him, Riddler Toy was shown at same time as is pretty close to what he looks like.)
The Creeper via Jack Ryder who is a confirmed character.
Tyger Mercs
Tweedledee and Tweedledum were heavily rumored for cameos .. Mad Hatter?


About that one villian that wasn't in the first game and the local gangs:

Spoiler:

Grundy and Killer Croc are both shown in the sewers. Possible they go at each other.

Two Face, Penguin, and Joker are all at war with each other trying to take control of Arkham City.


What about:

Spoiler:

Scarecrow? Not sure but Rocksteady considers him to be one of the best part of Arkham Asylum and Monarch Theatre is confirmed to be in Arkham City. I'd guess that's where you'll probably find him.

One of the developers made a joke about Crazy Quilt, so you never know.
