Red Hood, meanwhile, relies on a peculiar mystical leap to bounce across the air, which was apparently granted to him when he was brought back from the dead. To get around the city, Nightwing uses a Flying Trapeze – basically a glider – that mimics the way Batman flew in the past Arkham games to make getting from point A to B as painless as possible. Will the Bat-cycles feel better than the Batmobile? Traversal But there's only so much you can assess without getting your actual hands on the title. Given that there are visible damage numbers (you can turn them off, if you want) and more RPG elements in the game, it feels like this will play more similarly to, say, Marvel's Avengers than it will previous Arkham games. Red Hood uses non-lethal guns (sure, okay) that pepper burst-fire shots at enemies, and can plant (assumedly non-lethal) grenades and explosives on enemies which can be detonated on a whim to cause more damage to groups of thugs.īoth vigilantes can team up to perform beatdowns on enemies, and it very much seems like keeping approaching goons at bay whilst teaming up to target more immidiate threats will be the key part of the game, here. Nightwing's combat is all about momentum, and popping between enemies and using speed to crowd control is all part of the game, here. Let's break down some of the most interesting bits of the footage on offer: Dick Grayson does not look happy, does he? Combatīetween Nightwing and Red Hood, we get a good look at what Gotham Knights will feel like. Game director Geoff Ellenor talks us through the gameplay as the resurrected Red Hood and the acrobatic Nightwing go about their crime-fighting business in Gotham's beleaguered streets. For now, at least.Īt least the gameplay itself looks alright, though. Let's put that down to this being an unfinished version of the game.
not filled with texture issues and slowdown, and looking quite blurry in places. Whilst that is good (it's always nice to have games that aren't constrained by old hardware), we'd have expected the footage on-show to be really impressive and flashy.
GOTHAM KNIGHTS DEVELOPER PS4
Alongside the new footage, we learned that Gotham Knights will only launch on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC – forgoing a release on the last-gen consoles, PS4 and Xbox One, altoghether. One of the most concerning parts of the footage we saw was how choppy it looked. A quick rundown of everything you may have missed yesterday. The video was our first proper look at the game in years, and really cleared up some questions we had about the title – but does it impress? And should you care about a Batman game that doesn't have Batman in it? That's still up for debate. That is, if this Gotham Knights version of her never experienced the event that caused her to become a cripple.In early May, we saw Red Hood and Nightwing take centre stage in a blowout new Gotham Knights gameplay trailer from from DC and WB Games Montreal. But the latter is also not away from possibility. The former being a possibility when taking her directly from the revamped version of Batgirl in the recent comics. For her to be able to walk again, either she cured herself from her disability or she was never disabled at all. One is Batgirl herself, Barbara Gordon, who, in Arkham Knight was a paraplegic and was having a new identity as the Oracle. While the idea seems logical, there are a few glaring disparities between the two which concerns two figures in the franchise. Meaning, Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood, and Robin.
Similarly, Gotham Knights is using the same premise in order to pave way to new heroes, hailing from the Batman family itself. Players who had managed to play through Batman: Arkham Knight would recall the ending, which sees the iconic Dark Knight dead. “Gotham Knights is an original story set in DC’s Batman Universe and not connected to the Arkham series.” As it appears, Gotham Knights is only picking up where Arkham Knight left off but is a unique story of its own. As it turns out, Gotham Knight is not necessarily directly in line with the series.Ĭomicbook got in touch with WB Games Montreal for clarification.
Games Montreal’s latest project, Gotham Knights, just had its reveal in the recently held DC FanDome that displays discrepancy as a “sequel” to the most recent Batman game to date, Arkham Knight.
