Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

Man I'm really late to this party...

Just played the demo. Can you jump in this game? Seems to be such a ridiculous omission from a Batman game!

And, again, judging from the demo alone, it's difficult to see how some can call this the best superhero game ever? Seems to be a great game... wouldn't mind a run through once... but greatest Superhero game ever? I can name 2 Spiderman games better than this one.

And Marvel UA shouldn't be overlooked that easily as well...

there is no need for a jump button.... play it and you'll see... and he does jump up walls and stuff plus jumps while in combat... Its not like he doesnt jump

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

That's cool to hear. I know you can't always make your impressions off a demo alone. The game (demo) kept moving and that's always good.

Still... no jumping. Just a head scratcher. I understand you can grapple and glide... but why not just directly jump.

I think you can wall jump after gliding into a wall, correct? Just a very strange design decision.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

Have to agree with everyone else, there's no need for a jump button. Actually didn't even realize it wasn't there since you can jump across gaps, jump kick into people, etc.

There's an evade button during combat, so that is basically your jump button. Everything else is just climbing and using your grapple or gliding. If there is a gap between ledges, you just run and Batman will automatically jump and glide over the gap. I haven't noticed a need for a jump button yet.

I like that the jumps are automatically included in his motions. Makes the game more fluid.

Ahh, interesting. There weren't any sections like that in the demo, so that's cool to know.

yeah it does make it more fluid. If you take a bad angle when running and gliding over a ledge you might not make it. But so far through the game, I've only not made it once because I took a bad angle on a run and glide over a gap.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

I should open this game tonight...

I started playing Madden last night and before I knew what happened, it was late.

You guys have me really excited to try it.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

Thanks to everyone here for convincing me to buy this game. i am not a huge batman fan but this game kicks ###.

Has there been any patches? I haven't been online with it at all. Not that it needs a patch.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

Ya, pared, don't worry, there is ZERO need for a separate jump button.

That's not really single player. No game comes close to this on single player in the hero department.

Agreed. Plus Batman isn't Spider-man where he jumps 20 feet in the air. Any jump would have really been worthless.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

Boo at you, the so called superhero fan.

Didn't you play the original Batman? Everyone knows he can wall jump to get up tall buildings in addition to the grappling hook.
