Here’s a way to start your Monday morning at your desk: The social media team behind Arkham Knight just dropped eight awesome minutes of an entire mission from Batman: Arkham Knight, to distract you from its new release date of June 23, 2015. Yup, it’s delayed.
But look! Batmobile! You like that, right?
Hey, small question: Who’s voicing Commissioner Gordon? It vaguely sounds like Lance Henriksen, but it’s not him. IMDB lists David Kaye as “rumored.”
Otherwise, holy crap. The combat system. It has never looked better. Every punch, smash, they ripple with impact.
Also, what a look at the Batmobile. This definitely debunks my presumption that the Batmobile was something you could summon at a moment’s notice. While that idea leaves an obvious design flaw, it’s good to now see it in action so my expectations aren’t unmet.
I also have to admit some comically absurd moments, like in the interrogation segment when a grunt tried to actually inject Batman with Scarecrow’s serum. Good luck with that, buddy.
Batman: Arkham Knight comes out June 23, 2015 and will basically be the only reason I buy a current-gen console.
