It's being made by the same dev team Rocksteady. It's being published by Warner Brothers instead of Square Enix like the first game was.

I guess to prove that this game isn't some sequel they decided out of the blue, there is actually a secret room in the first game that has blueprints of "Arkham city". Check the article for the video that will lead you to that room.

http://gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2010/08/09/arkham-asylums-secret-room.aspx

Quote
Many gamers spent hours scouring every nook and cranny of Arkham Asylum last year. Whether it was Riddler trophies, interview tapes, or Chronicles of Arkham, the game wasn't short on hidden goodies. However, there was one area that most people never even knew existed...Warden Quincy Sharp's secret room. Inside this area, you can clearly see blueprints that lay out Arkham City. We ask developer Rocksteady how it remained hidden for so long and we provide a video guide on how to find it yourself.

Even if you've played Batman: Arkham Asylum through and through, got 100 percent clearance, and unlocked all of the achievements or trophies, you still probably haven't found Warden Sharp's secret room right off of his office. It's not located on any of the maps. You can't see the weak wall with Batman's detective vision. And you can only blow it up with several applications of explosive foam. We asked Rocksteady Studios lead narrative designer Paul Crocker how the team kept it hidden in the Internet age:

While building Batman: Arkham Asylum, we placed a number of ‘hooks’ into the game that tie into the ‘Arkham-Verse’. From the beginning we knew that Quincy was a bad guy, and planned what his next move would be. The room obviously ties into Arkham City, but to be fair, we hid it pretty well. We did assume that it would be found eventually and after following forum posts for 6 months or so, decided to announce it in the ‘Game of the Year’ podcast. The fans of the game have been amazing and again, reading the forums, we can see how much they value the efforts we have put into creating the background stories for the various characters and it was great to see all the posts and theories about the secret room once it was discovered. What I think people are really going to enjoy is not just how Arkham Asylum led to Arkham City, but also how the story in Arkham City sheds new light on the events you saw in Arkham Asylum.

It's standard though for most games. Especially if you have an established engine and pipeline to work with. I also was among the group that thought they would be forced to shit out another one in a little over a year after they announced it at the Spike TV awards.

Not a fan of Harley's look at all (not that I liked it any better in Asylum), or Two-Face's unnatural-looking human-half. But at least it sounds like Catwoman is Adrienne Barbeau again.

Looks awesome, but the way you create lift while gliding is weird.  I expect to go face first into many rooftops because you suddenly descend straight down. 

When I read about it, I thought it would be more gradual or like Just Cause 2 where you grapple around.

Not really.  From the latest hands-on stuff posted, it's all one huge campaign, with Batman switching out with Catwoman at different points in the story.  Her stuff take up apparently 20 percent of the main plot, from what I remember reading.
Title: Re: ARKHAM CITY
Post by: cool breeze on June 02, 2011, 05:15:36 PM
I read a blurb that made it seem like a side-activity.  basically, you see cats around, and when you 'interact', you take control of her.  They say things like "seamlessly interwoven with his main story arc" and "Catwoman's adventure compliments Batman's central role" and "Complete with her own storyline in the main game."

Doesn't sound like it will be like the Ashley section in RE4 or required.  It's kinda like the Ada Wong Separate Ways, where it tells the same event from a different perspective.  I don't know.

I like that movement around the city changes.  Looks like ass creed.
