The Batmobile
Ah, the Batmobile. Around the Twinfinite office, this has been the biggest point of discussion. Muaz, Alex, and Austin have been squealing with delight at the prospect of tearing down the streets of Gotham in Batman’s tricked-out car. I will admit that this incarnation of the Batmobile looks pretty cool, but is being able to drive in an open world really THAT exciting? Bear in mind, Batman could essentially fly in the previous game so I’m not 100% convinced that it’s going to be much more than a fleeting novelty.
I really don’t mean to be a Negative Nancy here, because I love Batman and I’m thrilled to see what kind of new adventures he has. There also hasn’t been any gameplay as yet, which means a lot of these questions and concerns may be moot by the time the game comes out. All I can say is this: I really hope Rocksteady takes advantage of their position and turns Batman: Arkham Knight into something we’ve never seen before with its gameplay, environments, and gadgets. Anything short of that will feel to me like, well, a waste of everybody’s time.
