It seems likely that gameplay will be based on the detective mode sections from earlier Arkham titles, but there was no in-game footage to be found in the trailer. Instead, we’ll see a much bigger focus on Batman’s skills as a detective, as he becomes embroiled in a deeply personal murder mystery.īy donning the PlayStation VR headset, players will be able to be the bat like never before, carrying out their investigation from a first-person viewpoint beneath the cowl. The appeal of the gadgets runs out quickly.Despite being part of the same series, the new game will make a significant detour from the open-world action that typified previous Arkham releases. Also, Alfred’s face is impervious to being shot repeatedly by a grapnel gun. That’s cool until you realize they’ll only interact with very specific things in very specific ways, and the Batarangs have some crazy auto-aim that makes it all but impossible to miss as long as you're throwing it in the general direction of your target. You get to grab the Batarangs, scanner, and grapnel gun off your utility belt and aim them and shoot or throw, just like Batman would. Using the three gadgets is fun for a couple of minutes. The only hand-to-hand combat happens without your participation, so that’s a disappointing lack of interactivity. And even though my hands are Batman’s hands, I didn’t get to punch anybody. But here, Batman teleports from place to place (which is more or less standard in VR games) but when he does move he's is just as much of a klutz as I am. What I love most about the actual Arkham games is the way Batman moves as I control him in combat and stealth.
“At the same time, all of the gameplay is very simple stuff, and much of the way you move around and interact with the world doesn't feel like a great fit for a character like Batman.
