A rumour swirling around a few weeks ago pegged Rocksteady Games as the developers on a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game. Rocksteady chief Sefton Hill told Kotaku that, while the rumour was amusing, they’re doing no such thing.
Batman: Arkham City isn’t an open world game, but then – it kinda is. Confusing right? We certainly thought so. Thankfully Game Director Sefton Hill has made a post on the official Arkham City forums outlining precisely what you can expect from the game’s bold new structure. Protip: it sounds brilliant.
Our demo begins. Batman sits perched above the city (regular men sit, Batman ‘perches’) the camera pans around the dark expanse of Arkham City, a sprawling metropolis packed with deviants and various combo opportunities. Batman swan dives… into the game demo of our lives – we half expect him to land atop a conveniently positioned pile of hay, but he doesn’t land period, instead firing off a grappling hook, onto a moving helicopter.
We’ve seen the impressive Batman: Arkham City in motion, thanks to an extended demo that shows off the caped crusader’s new dive bombing, wall-punching tricks. Now it’s your chance to (maybe) be impressed by Arkham City’s gameplay.
