Video Games Batman: Arkham Knight - Page 13

Maybe the last. Set a year after Arkham City.

More from Game Informer:

Quote:

Rocksteady is hoping to raise the bar even higher on what will be its final Arkham game. Set after the events of Arkham City, Batman: Arkham Knight may just end the Dark Knight's journey.

As you've probably guessed from the cover imagery, the Batmobile is finally a core element of the gameplay. An entirely new area of Gotham City, far larger than Arkham City, has much wider streets to accommodate the new driving gameplay that is designed to integrate smoothly with Batman's gliding and grappling traversal. Batman chases down super villains Scarecrow, Penguin, Two-Face, Harley Quinn, and more.

Arkham Knight will release later this year on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

While driving gets really annoying at times, I found that going into the game options and setting "battle mode" to ON has helped a great deal. Now Reverse for the car is L2, which is a whole hell of a lot more natural feeling than square. Not sure why it isn't the default.

However, for me to change that setting I first had to leave the game, start an AR mission with the Batmobile, then go into game options and toggle it to on. Before I did that the option wouldn't even show up in the actual game options while playing the story. I hope that helps those that have no tried this option yet.

Went ahead and took the ebay deal for $50 to get it for my son on his birthday. Hopefully I'm not throwing the controller when I drive.

I suck at driving games, and I have done okay with the driving so far...it helps that the Batmobile is pretty much a tank...so if you do run over stuff, you tend to plow through and keep going.

So far the game looks fantastic. Did not play a lot tonight as I was setting up my PS4, but so far the story is good and the action is good.

I've only played about 20 percent of the game but I haven't been this engaged or memorized in awhile by a game.

This is easily my favorite title for the PS4..I might even like it more than Bloodborne. It's just so beautiful and amazing..I'm speechless.

Driving it definitely takes time to get used to. But I like it. I wish the brake was L2 and battle mode was square but it's ok. I really dig the game so far and it's subtle additions. I just wish they'd do more with the riddler and have him as a villain you go against and play with to mess around with Gotham with. I still like to fly around town. I like the addition of the momentum glide by triple tapping X.

Same here. I am sick of trying to brake only to switch to battle mode.

Wont go down like that anyways. AAA titles will always have ports, especially now that the 'next-gen' consoles have straight up PC hardware in them.

They just need to pay ****ing attention to what they release.

If the game is going to be a steaming pile of shit then don't release it at all.

CoMoChief · 06-28-2015, 11:02 PM

This game is the tits. Plays great on PS4...heard PC gamers were having some problems...really surprised they even decided to release it for PC considering the problems they have w/ it.

I'm not a huge gamer like I used to be. Time/life gets in the way now I guess. Only usually own/play about 6 games

GTAV
MLB:The Show'15
Arkham Knight
PGA'15 (coming soon)
Madden'15 (coming soon)
Star Wars Battlefront (coming soon)

I went ahead and refunded my purchase on Steam. I will spend time on Witcher 3 and wait for the inevitable price drops either on PC (if it ever comes back out) or console.
