Oh my bad : )

Its been announced in the Gameinformer that Arkham City will not have co-op or multiplayer. I don't find it that bad because I'd rather have them focus on the single player aspect of the game rather then the multiplayer. Co-op though, I might feel a little different about. Not sure how they would incorporate that anyway, Robin or Catwoman I guess.

Has anyone here found or solved all the riddler challenges? I never even tried.

I have. Twice.

And speaking of the Riddler...

Quote :

In Arkham Asylum, the Riddler didn’t convey much of a threat; he was more of a “casual distraction” from the mission at hand. However, in Arkham City, he’s going to be quite the formidable opponent.

According to IGN, when previewing the title, they experienced an elaborate “death trap” placed by the Riddler. The trap involved a hostage suspended to the ceiling above an electrified floor, which would kill Batman in an instant.

Rocksteady Studios even stated that in the first game, the Riddler’s job was basically “verbally abuse.” But, this time around, he is a bit harder to beat and he had hidden around 400 Trophies around the city.

i did

I looked it up on youtube, and the way he tells you you got all of he trophies and riddles is not a very good send-off. I don't know, I guess I was expecting something better.

New bit of news, Robin is going to be a playable character in Arkham City, but not a major one.
He's only usable for two challenge maps.
You would have to preorder from Best Buy to get him.

Unknown whether or not he'll be available later as DLC, but I'll bet he will because the Joker was a Walmart purchase bonus initially too.

Cancelled my pre-order from gamestop. Changed it to Best Buy. Seems like a better deal to me.

Robin sucks.

Depends which Robin.
Most of this (cast included) seems to be based on The Animated Series only gritter. The first Robin on there was a perfectly good character. I especially liked the episode where he nearly looses it and rips his parents' killer to pieces instead of doing the Batmanly thing and turning him in right off. They eventually had him grow up, move off, and become Nightwing which was alright too.
But then they brought in another younger Robin, and he was just the annoying "only here so a younger audience will identify with him" ratings booster brought in by Executive Meddling.
Yeah, if it's that Robin then I'd have to agree.

If it's Dick or Tim (from the comics, mind you) then I have no problem with Robin appearing.

Note that it says "early access" instead of just "exclusive."
So, either he's unlockable, or can be DLC later on.

Also, now we know which Robin it is.

Long as it isn't 60's Tv Show Robin.

Holy campiness, Batman!

Gahhhh. Too many games. At this point my wallet is going to be empty by the end of 2011.

My wallet is always empty... too many games.

You knew Rocksteady couldn't resist leaving that zipper open...............

Who could?

Like the look of the graphics as well. Really looking forward to this one. The City looks sweet. Bats, walking down the street like a boss.
Two face looks cool

I wasn't saying it was a bad thing.

This looks interesting.

Rocksteady's Dax Ginn dropped the new game plus bomb at this weekend's PAX event in Seattle.

In a video interview with GameTrailers, Ginn laid out the details.

"When you finish [Batman: Arkham City], you can then restart with all of the gadgets and all of the upgrades from the first playthrough, but you're going to need them in the second playthrough because all of the enemy configurations have changed," Ginn says. "All of the assistance you get in combat with those blue lightning bolts coming up against guys who are about to hit you, they're gone. So you have to read their animations coming in. That's why we really wanted to drive home the deployability with Batman: Arkham City -- taking those gadgets back into the streets, delivering justice a second time around. Really asking, 'Are you the Dark Knight? Have you got what it takes?'"

Who's going to beat Arkham City twice?
