NEW INFO REVEALED (PLAY3-GERMAN MAG 92% )
source: http://arkhamcity.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5863
Game Facts.
- There are four big boss battles (Freeze included). They are all very challenging and require a cunning strategy.
- Solomon Grundy is the largest monster in the game.
- There are over 100 challenges (Combat, Predator and Custom). Custom allows you to restrict access to gadgets.
The Riddler.
- Scanning objects to complete Riddler challenges are back. Just like Arkham Asylum Riddler will announce a riddle based on the object and you have to spot it, and scan it.
- At the end of each Riddler hostage mission you are forced to solve a riddle to gain access to the captured hostage. For example (and actually taken from the first hostage mission):If you know me, youll want me to share me but if you share me, Ill be gone. What am I?
Side Mission News (Spoilers).
- Deadshot. Deadshots side mission involves you having to track his position using your detective vision. After finding him you have to get close and personal by sneaking up on him, if he sees you he takes a shot.
- Bane. Bane has you hunting down Titan crates scattered around the city. After finally destroying all the crates you face a finale; Bane fights with you side by side in a huge brawl against TYGER mercenaries.
- Zsasz. Victor has hacked into the phone system of the city and its your job to answer and find these phones within a time limit. After picking up the phone your rewarded with a sick and twisted story, provided by the man himself. After finding all the phone booths you are brought to his secret hideout.
- Gliding Missions. The game tests your gliding skills by having you fly through rings around the city, the catch? You cant touch the ground. According to Play3 there are 8 of these missions.
- Short Side Missions. These short side missions involve finding and rescuing political prisoners spread around Arkham City. And thats not all, these prisoners are targeted by inmates and its only a matter of time before they get there before you. The result? Dead political prisoners! Use of your map is restricted in these missions.
Other Side Mission Info (Spoilers).
- One mission has you saving Nora Fries.
- Theres a mission that involve you helping Police to save a hideout.
- You can improve your Freeze granades by finding upgrades.
- A mysterious watcher lurks within Arkham City. Its your job to find him/her.
- An unknown criminal calls him self Bruce Wayne.
- According to Play3 side missions go from very short and east to very long and challenging.
- The last side mission is apparently the most impressive, although they werent allowed to go in detail they - did mention it involves a hat and is really really bizarre.

The amount of pre order bonuses is embarrassing, days of unlocking skins by doing special tasks in game are numbered and it's a damn shame. I see they are timed and will be available for download, but I'm guessing with a price tag.

The scary thing about this trend is it starts with skins, and developers will keep pushing to see what else they can fuck you out of. Modes, story quests, bosses, weapons, etc. Slippery slope, etc, but skins is something I'll always be fine with... once it starts becoming important content is when I'll have to start writing certain developers off.

They have to be talking about the Mad Hatter. I hope it's as good or even better than the Scarecrow missions.

Nice OP
Also I hate spoilers, as I can't help but look at them.

Play the first one, aside from a few story ties it is an utterly fantastic game. Not too long to dig through in 2 weeks either.

I'm super jealous of the experience you're about to have.effzee said:
It's probably best to expect PC games to ship weeks or months later these days. That or suffer bugs and unplayability like Dead Island and Rage. Nature of the beasts.Darklord said:This pisses me off so much it got delayed on PC. Fuuuuuuuuck! I probably won't get to play it until late November now.
Might also want to add to the OP that there's a mess of related Avatar items up on XBLM.

I'm not much for throwing money at this stuff, but the black batlogo on gray t-shirt? Yeah, I'll buy that for a dollar. The Nightwing shirt's pretty cool, too.

I had absolutely no interest in this a few days ago. I had to cancel my Rage preorder and dump the cash into an AC preorder. Saw this OT and knew I made the right choice. Jesus, everything about this game gives me a huge ass boner. Can't fuckin' wait!

I'm just trying to see if I can afford it anymore. Been unemployed for over a month and gaming budget is 0. May not get games at all this fall and I already wanted Rage, never been this broke.Snuggler said:
