Rocksteady Keeping Arkham City Surprises In Reserve
Batman: Arkham CityRocksteady Studios hasn't been shy about sharing new details on Batman: Arkham City, so we know a lot about it.
We've heard all about the characters, from The Joker to Catwoman to Two Face to The Riddler and more, and we've learned about much of the style, setting, and gameplay.
But the team isn't about to tell all just yet, and reminds us that there were some surprises in Arkham Asylum. According to what UK studio boss Sefton Hill told CVG, most of what we've seen is featured in the "first one or two hours of the game." But that's it. And with a campaign that will take at least 10 hours (with 40 total hours of content jammed in, if you wish to partake), that means there's plenty left to reveal. But not yet... Said Hill:
"We're really proud of the story we've written for this game and we want people to experience it when they play the game. There were a number of surprises when you played Arkham Asylum and there'll definitely be a lot of surprises in this when you get it in your hands."
These days, it almost seems like we know too much about highly anticipated blockbuster releases, as every major source covers most every significant news story pertaining to the title. And with tons of videos and screenshots, it often feels as if there are no surprises left when cracking open that new game.
This get's a little annoying, actually. Good to see one studio that doesn't wish to spill all the beans early.

Nightwing may also make an appearance as a poster of the Flying Graysons is prominent in some trailers.
I would expect that Robin's challenge maps will be released to everyone eventually. Not sure whether we'll have to pay for it if we don't buy from BestBuy.

Needless to say I am greatly looking forward to this sequel, and if that's only w. in the first two hours... 40hours of available content? Wow, this will be a D1Purchase for me.
I'm not adverse to knowing too much about a game before it comes out. If you don't want to know everything about it, don't watch the trailers and casually skip over those particular headlines. Up to the player really.

BTW, Gamestop's got Green Lantern out now so I wonder how that superhero game will be doing, and if it's any good.
Hey Ben, will you be reviewing Green Lantern???

thats one thing i hate about allot of games these days they spoil the best parts by releasing them in trailers.
the battle between kratos and Poseidon for example.
everyone saw the trailer shat there pants, then the game came out and it was like meh.
same things happening for me with infamous 2.
when i was previewing it i was like OMG this is so cool, then i got to do a few boss battles and was like wow there so big this is so freaking awesome!
now im playing it its like meh been there done that.
not saying they should not show off there games, but they need to think about what to show and what not to show more carefully.
