Coming via a Brazilian gaming website – GameVicio – are reports on some previously unrevealed features of Batman Arkham City.
Fansite ArkhamCity.co.uk has gone to the effort of trawling through the translation of the GameVicio article and they have filtered out the info we already knew about the game, leaving just the rumoured new gameplay features.
We say rumoured because none of this is yet confirmed by Batman Arkham City developer Rocksteady.
Below is the list of rumoured features as presented by ArkhamCity.co.uk. A lot of these rumoured features sound great and would fit perfectly into a new Batman game. Here’s hoping that it turns out to be true.
Combat and Gameplay Details
– There are special moves that can hit up to three enemies at once.
– Batman will have new air attacks, one of them involves Bats hanging by a cord and jumping over the enemies and disarming them. You can return to the starting point of the jump or carry on with the fight. There is also a diving Swivel which hits two enemies to once.
– Batman now has special combat moves (or terminators); one of them is called “Fallen,” a combination of quick punches with a vertical kick that launches the enemy into the air allowing Bats to perform a second aerial shot. There will also be other attacks in which Batman combines combos and equipment to take out foes.
– Batman will be able to climb all objects and climb on buildings. This will include wires (Batman will be able to balance on them ala Assassins Creed II).
– Bats you will be able to slide underneath objects, cling to poles, rods or perform gymnastic maneuvers and also slide down ramps to grab an enemy. Bats is also able to get a flying start by leaping through windows.
– Batman will be able to dodge projectiles shot from firearms, it can also be used for normal attacks.
– Batman will be able to grab enemies mid flight.
– When Batman is soaring, if you go toward a window he performs a motion diving with his feet to smash the window and execute a surprise attack.
-Batman can now run and use gadgets at the same time, you can also run, jump and hit at the same time. Batarangs can be thrown even when Batman jumps into the air.
Gadgets
– New gadget that upgrades Batman’s “leap.” The translation is confusing but it seems to suggest some sort of cape upgrade that expands into wings and can also “attack enemies.”
