The Name of the Game has been revealed by Game Informer. Aparently Catwoman, Mr Freeze and Two Face are going to be the Main Villans.
Can't wait hope we get to use the Batmobile this time, even if its only a short section.

They should either do the bat mobile right and make it a core component of the game, putting lots of effort into handling physics and gameplay. Or they should leave it out all together. Some small mediocre driving segment would be a terrible addition.

Yeah any batmobile section needs to be very well done or it should be left out completely.

I would hope that they buff up the forensics section. I'd love an actual investigation that worked like a puzzle game. I know they were working on a more complex version for AA but it got cut for time reasons so hopefully it's a case of polishing and it's ready from the start.

Other then that I loved AA and will hold high hopes for this game. Although I fear that a tacked on multiplayer could be in the works.

You don't want it becoming GTA Batman either I just want want it to be used right & not be tacky like Gears of War 1/2 driving segments.
Maybe to change it up have vehicle sections 3 or 4 times in the game like Scarecrows Nightmares from the 1st game

Batman's plane is cooler than the Batmobile.

Discuss.

Neither are as cool as the Batcopter

I prefered Ashes of Gotham. Still, I can't wait for it.

Sorry I mentioned a batmobile section after seeing that Chopper(Anyone see the Adam West Batman Movie,there is a fight at the end that shows why fight scenes are now choreographed).
How do you think they'll incorperate the Boss Fights its no secret the 1st Struggled in the Majority of those.

I wonder if they'll have different things for each console again.

Play as the Joker on PS3 and Scarecrow's nightmares for the Xbox.

I'm pretty unique in that I enjoyed ever boss fight in AA apart from the final battle.

They were quite clever and unique (especially for this day and age) and hopefully they'll do the same.

Based on the villians I would say some kind of platform section hidden in a rooftop chase for catwoman.
An arena fight with Freeze involving some kind of heating system being used to beat.
A game of heads or tails against Two Face :pac:

Looks like Catwoman will play a big role in Arkham City. The latest Gameinformer magazine has 2 special edition covers featuring Arkham City, showing a picture of Batman with Catwoman tied up.

With Mr. Freeze, Talia al Ghul, Catwoman & possibly (more so hopefully) Joker, it looks as if poor Bats will have his work cut out for him in the new game. Cant wait for this.

TwoFace can be seen in the back of the upper image, dressed as Uncle Sam. Cleverly positioned on the spine of the mag to show either side of his face on the front and back.

Didnt that poster of Two-face appear in the first game as one of The Riddlers clues?

I've played through that game twice and I don't remember that image appearing before.

Gunmonkey

There was a cell with lots of defaced pictures in it for the Two Face bio log, think the Uncle Sam pic was one of them.

Arkham Asylum is easily one of the best games i have ever played. Seriously genius game, to show how much i loved this game i missed it by about a year and uhh "obtained it" i got the "you cant go any further you warez bastard" error and rather than look for a fix i bought it for PC and Xbox ( i reckoned the fighting would be easier with a pad and it was). Brilliant game hope to feck they dont feck up the sequel.

thorbarry

with that pic of batman and catwoman tied together, I'm thinkin 2 player co-op?

AA was easily game of the year for me. I'm really looking forward to this one. I'd like much more riddler quests, they rocked and were great fun wrecking my noodle trying to find them!

I hope they don't model Catwoman on that lamentable halle berry trainwreck:D

Zeouterlimits

Not a fan of the name, but Asylum was great, so another great 2011 title!

Kiith

I guess i should actually finish the 1st one in that case. I was looking for something to play this weekend afterall.

Really enjoyed Arkum Asylum so I hope they don't make a ballz of the sequel.

At least they're not rushing it I suppose. Massive pressure I'd imagine on them now seeing as the first one was so well received.

Aw ya def! like someone said above, I really hope for a more complex investigation system, he is a detective after all. Wouldn't be too pushed on a bat mobile section as they are usually just tacked on and arkham asylum did just fine without it (although the city title sounds like it will be in to get around)

Might go back to the 1st one to finish the riddles!

Were the scare crow sections not on the ps 3. Jesus ye got the raw end of the deal there. Probably the best set pieces in gaming for years

Yeah, the Scarecrow sections were on the PS3 version. They were really well done too
