The Batfamily takes center stage in WB Montreal's Gotham Knights. Releasing on Oct. 21, Gotham Knights follows Nightwing, Robin, Red Hood, and Batgirl as they fight to restore order in Gotham in the wake of Batman's death. Adam Sessler is here with overview, Xplay producer Joe interviews two of the game's developers, and finally Joe and Danny Pena discuss their thoughts on the game after going hands-on with it for a couple hours.
Batman is dead. A new expansive, criminal underworld has swept the streets of Gotham City. It is now up to the Batman Family; Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood, and Robin; to protect Gotham, bring hope to its citizens, discipline to its cops, and fear to its criminals. From solving mysteries that connect the darkest chapters in the city’s history to defeating notorious villains in epic confrontations, you must evolve into the new Dark Knight and save the streets from descent into chaos.
Gotham Knights is an open-world, action RPG set in the most dynamic and interactive Gotham City yet. In either solo-play or with one other hero, patrol Gotham’s five distinct boroughs and drop in on criminal activity wherever you find it.

Jesus christ its like talking to emotional kids who think the world revolves around their grievances. The company was already sinking. They shot themselves in the foot by not only having a youtube channel, but bringing the channel back to broadcast television, a medium that is dying. They came back during a time where there are way better alternatives for video game commentary. Video game journalism is a dime a dozen on youtube now which is why they died several years ago too. They can't compete by resting on their laurels from a time when they were really the only source for watching video game related content. Even the TV channel has been airing re-runs of Ninja Warrior since its revival to fill up programming slots. They do not have the budget to stay above water.

@mporta100 Год назад

It’s a bummer X-play back in the past. I wish you guys were able to keep going.

@jlindsa Год назад

The one question I wish XPlay had asked the level developers is how they settled in the scope of the game in terms of map size and density. Adding verticality brings in its own set of challenges, such as investing time and resources into it instead of something else but going miles and miles in multiple directions also takes a lot in terms of team capacity, so how did they decide, okay "this" is enough.

@legacyoftheash7327 Год назад

I'd say that, given the responses to questions regarding Gotham's representation in the game, one could intuit when the developers felt they had done enough. I imagine that once the individual boroughs and their unique designs as influenced by the founding families were all expressed and incorporated into the multi-tiered map design, the developers felt they had reached a good point.

@dr.nottanownudder Год назад

Nooo Adam! Its not a bad thing that there are no co-op puzzles! I don't want things locked behind co-op. The only way it'll work is if co-op puzzles don't affect story or your ability to obtain certain items. I hate when games force me to play co-op to get the full experience. Imo. Great stuff though

Nightwing is my most favourite superhero and the sole reason I've pre-ordered this game and will be playing on Day 1. He inspires me to try to live in the moment and I was even inspired to skydive after reading Peter Tomasi's run in Nightwing issue no. 142.

@PLAYER_42069 Год назад

Fantastic preview. I'm still on the fence about GK, even though I loved all the previous Arkham games. It's wild to think this game probably started development after Arkham Knight in 2016, 2017? Give it four years + one more for COVID, and now it's finally coming out. I'm glad the devs tried to add unique things to the Knights to make them and the game different from the previous games while also retaining the core DNA that made people love the Arkham games in the first place. I'm still waiting on final reviews, but this gives me a cautiously optimistic outlook than before.
