Batman: Arkham City - Latest Trailer

The latest trailer for Batman: Arkham City is out and it looks awesome. This game is the highly anticipated sequel of the amazing Batman: Arkham Asylum

My favorite thing about the first game was that it managed to make the player really feel like Batman. As you gained access to new moves and gadgets, that feeling became increasingly potent. There was a definite magic in using Detective Vision to watch the pulse rates of the bad guys sky rocket as you picked them off one by one from the shadows.

This trailer certainly makes it appear that you will be spending much more time "outside" than you did in the first Arkham game where most of the events occurred inside the various buildings of the titular Arkham Asylum. The gameplay footage that shows the enhancements to the glide and grapple systems look amazing. It's obvious that the designers realized "feeling like Batman" was the best part of the first game and looked to find a way to recreate that same feeling on what will hopefully be an even grander scale.
