The car combat looks tedious and I don't understand Batmans combat either, he's knocking out a lot of enemies but they are holding guns and not firing at all. Maybe I'm missing something as I'm on my phone and they don't actually have guns or something.

Plus having a litany of villains in different sections of the city - feels much more like Batman to me.

They had a gameplay demo of this at my local GAME at the weekend. Looked alright.

What's what I'm thinking, too. I can't see myself actually using the batmobile except when it's required in the story. Just seems faster/easier/more fun to fly.

The game looks really good.
PS4 version runs pretty smooth going by this footage.

Does this have Multiplayer btw? Was intrigued by the asynchronous MP in Origins, it may be unnecessary, but it reminded me of the old Splinter Cell MP which was great!
I'm not that interested in the SP though. Looks like AC but with a tank. Not the direction I wanted this franchise to take.

Gamespot article isnt much of a preview. It sounds like the Batfamily might be a weakness for Batman, I hope im wrong or they find a good way to deal with it if they use them as a weakness for batman without having to rescue them all the time.

Looks like an Arkham game alright. Should be good.

Is currently staging a hunger strike outside Gearbox HQ while trying to hate them to death
Since when is being more like AC than AA a negative? You would swear AC was a universally hated 4/10 game the way these people are going on.
For what it's worth I consider AA and AC to be 10/10's, one isn't better than the other they are just different types of game.

Looks great and I'm definitely getting it as soon as it comes out but I cant help but feel the Batmobile combat could be the weakest aspect judging by this video. Obviously, I hope I'm wrong.

Minor complaint, but I wish they had used Azrael's old costume:

What's the right way?
It looks fine but I'm not that excited anymore. More of the same with a car and less stalking your enemies although that may be open to the player but seems very much like room fighting instead of picking them off. Predator skills and interesting level design is what I hope to see more of.

I cannot freaking wait. Everything looked incredible. Love that now there is an option to pick up enemies and continue your combo now. That is huge. I also like that everything seems faster with the grappling and gliding.
The environment also looks great and is super detailed. I love the little nods they put in that reference things in the comic universe like the "Visit Santa Prisca" billboard.

I think so. In the Ace Chemicals demo, if I recall correctly, Batman takes down a sword thug in a blade takedown like way (but that didn't look like pure gamelay, but sort of like a semi-cinematic).
Images and HQ(-ish) video are up:

Day zero.
That's the question they couldn't figure out.
The city streets are just too tight to make the Batmobile work, for example the chase scene we saw in the other gameplay video... idk it just doesn't feel right.
Let alone the car combat, shooting a bunch of tanks just looks boring.
Also the voice acting is pretty bad. Oh and i don't like some of the character designs like Eminem Robin...
But everything else looks pretty awesome, i really enjoyed the other Arkham games so i'm excited to see how it all ends.

That's just how the Arkham games are.

Oh, I'm sure that the thought of "gaf going to town " keeps many a dev up at night.....
Anyway, looks great. This will be my first batman game since the megadrive.

Holly shit i didnt know that The Arkham Knight was loyal to the Scarecrow, or was the Polygon article worded badly?
It sounds like it the controlls could be hard to get into for people who are new to the series and could still cause trouble for returning gamers

looking good, pre-ordered on pc with season pass
More of the same is good when the previous games were good. That's what a good sequel is.

Nah breh, that doesn't say anything.
Being able to call the Batmobile, hop into it seamlessly, smash through anything, hop out seamlessly, boost and, yes, use it like a riot tank all looks like it feels right. It's all stuff the Batmobile has done in past Batman media. It looks responsive and about as well-done as anyone could've strived or hoped for.
"The streets are too right to make it work" ... yet we've seen video of it working just fine. That chase scene was fucking awesome, and would only be better if there was an option (or specific need) to launch out and land on the other car, or to use the Batmobile's winch/Batclaw thing while driving.
I was hoping you'd be able to articulate what could be improved with the Batmobile, or at least have some specific criticism about how it'd being handled, rather than saying it "feels" wrong or just not liking given features entirely.
It looks like the tank combat works in a similar fashion to the Hand-to-hand fighting. Build combo to activate special combos. Get hit and you loose them. Might actually be interesting, depending on the upgrade path and enemy variety.

That's very arguable. I think finding the right balance of old and new is what makes a good sequel.
