Rocksteady's Sefton Hill has revealed the identity of Batgirl, who will get an additional SP campaign -- beware of spoilers http://uk.ign.com/articles/2015/…cially-revealed

"Other key details for the season pass include playing as Batman in new story missions, featuring “legendary super-villains invading Gotham City,” as well as more story missions for Batman’s supporting cast.

Players will also be able to drive various Batmobiles from the Dark Knight’s 75-year history on custom race tracks. Lastly, expect new challenge maps and a variety of character skins as is tradition for the series.

the Season Pass will run £32.99 / $39.99, or it will be available in the Premium Edition of the game for £87.98 / $99 on PS4 and Xbox One. The Season Pass will provide six months worth of DLC content."

Pricey!

very exciting the new uses of quick fire gadgets, available while gliding!

Another Arkham Insider video, with a better look at the dual play feature

I hope the build shown here is a bit old, because the transition between animations on display seem quite jaggy.

The annoying thing is the price that is normally too steep for a very basic port.

The remaster invasion is due to the new consoles*, lot of good titles at the end of generation that wouldn't work on the new one. Also think lot of people waited buying stuff (eg GTA5) knowing it would come upgraded.

*especially for PS devs have to change the whole engine architecture right?

Seeing the Batman deal on Steam, I was just thinking that I wouldn't mind at all a remaster -the previous games made with the new engine- I'm tempted to buy the old ones just because I've limited access to the Xbox and Batman it's all I want to play atm.

Holding off of course, but if they will remaster for real, well, playing with boosted graphics might be something I'll want to spend a few coins on.

Character design

Quote from Sprony

No man, that was with the PS3. Even Carmack said it was more difficult to program for. The PS4 is specifically designed to make it more compatible with PC architecture. Hence the enormous indie influx!

I well know that what I mean is that PS' architecture changed dramatically, hence companies must have to go through a (costly, painful) refactoring process -- because few at this point would start developing a totally new engine just because there's a new generation, everybody is doing incremental upgrades.

Testing the new tech on a proven product, instead of something daunting like a new franchise, sure helps, both for learning purposes and economically.

Another insider video shows for the first time a Riddler's track challenge

also explained a couple features/gadgets the batmobile has that weren't mentioned before.

Also realised today that the release date is the same of my first anniversary with my gf... I'm afraid no D1 play session for me

I had missed this gameplay
