No Playable Vehicles in Arkham City – Rocksteady

In the latest issue of British gaming mag, GamesTM, Rocksteady boss Sefton Hill has commented on the inclusion of vehicles in Batman: Arkham City. With the sequel now being set on the streets of Gotham, many speculated that there would be segments of the game which will put players behind the wheel of the Batmobile. Unfortunately, however, Hill has confirmed that it’s not going to happen. He said:

There aren’t any playable vehicles in the game… What we’ve really focused on is Batman himself. We see him as the ultimate vehicle.

Though some Bat fans will be disappointed, it may be a blessing in disguise. With only Arkham Asylum and Urban Chaos under its belt, developer Rocksteady has had little experience in emulating vehicle controls within a video game. However, as James Bond 007: Blood Stone has recently proven, being a seasoned veteran of the genre, as Bizarre Creations were, doesn’t always translate into a stalwart end product.
