It has been announced that Gotham City Impostors will be making its way to Xbox LIVE, PSN and PC. The game is an FPS developed by Monolith (of F.E.A.R fame), and although the name Gotham appears in the title, you won’t be playing the role of the caped crusader.
“Gotham City Impostors blows apart expectations for superhero games with an exaggerated take on first person shooters, set in a part of the DC Universe players have never seen before. Monolith is creating a game that turns Gotham City upside down and we think fans are going to have a blast with this creative twist on multiplayer heroism and anti-heroism as they play up the classic rivalry between Batman and The Joker.”
Gotham City Impostors is a multiplayer shooter that gives players the opportunity to customize their own characters, then Pose as either an amateur vigilante or villain and join either team Bats or team Joker. There will be “unprecedented customization options including insane costumes, homebrewed gadgets and a wide range of traditional and imagined weapons.”

Can’t be guns?., if they are creative enough Team Bats should have many types of batarangs than guns. Still being a FPS already screams pain to me, how different can it be?

Brink, Mirror’s Edge, Condemned, FEAR, Portal, Chronicles of Riddick and The Darkness say hi!

Yeah… but its still a First Person Shooter, we don’t know if lf it features Darkness, free-running, portals etc etc, I hope its a quality game and not a bland one.

I’m playing Fear 2 at the moment, is that the same thing? If so, it’s story, setting and creepiness are all good, but the gun play is very very poor.

So it’s like a bunch of citizens sided with either Batman or the Joker and then fought amongst themselves? Sounds like Bats has already lost to me.
