The Last Guardian is still alive, Fallout 4 coming this year, Xbox backwards compatibility and the Rare collection. I really wish they’d be more forthright about the arrangement (or maybe I’m just ill informed?) I hope the third game is all you hope it will be.Į-mail your comments to: I the only person who’s confused about the whole deal with Sony and Shenmue? After some extensive research and googling, I still can’t work out if Sony are helping fund it or not? I initially thought Sony/Yu Suzuki were using the Kickstarter to show that there is support for another Shenmue and that would convince Sony to fund it, but it seems that Sony are maybe helping in some way in the background with development and marketing in exchange for console exclusivity. So for all those people down the years who wrote in, congratulations. Although since it’s on Kickstarter that means they have taken money from people, so now they have to deliver, right? It still seems unlikely that it will actually happen, even now. In defiance of all financial and common sense. For all the dozens and dozens of people who wanted it so much. I dread to think how many minutes of my life I’ve wasted in reading other people begging for a game I’ve never had any connection to.Īnd yet, when I woke up and read your E3 coverage, I actually punched the air in delight. I’ve seen so many people begging, pleading for that game down the years… And GC has always reported on the rumours, however unlikely they seemed. When I think of the series, I think of only one thing: the Inbox, which has endured for so long, and the people who have asked for a third game. I never had a Dreamcast, so I didn’t get to play either of them. Although I don’t remember reading that review. That means I’ve been reading since right around the time that the original Shenmue came out. I’ve been reading GC (and it’s predecessors) since I was about 13. We’re hoping to have an Arkham Knight review by Wednesday, although that will depend on exactly how long it turns out to be. GC: Thanks! We did hear about the special edition problems, but there doesn’t seem to be anything that can be done. With GC being away last week I wondered when we could expect your review? Thanks for the excellent E3 coverage. On a separate and lighter note, I cannot wait for Batman. are quickly tainting their own reputation amongst gamers. about not only this but the season pass controversy too. I don’t blame Rocksteady at all who must be annoyed with Warner Bros. I haven’t pre-ordered one of these editions but I know a few people who have and feel sorry for them and their predicament, even with the compensation on offer. would have received samples of these items over a week before release but that appears not to be the case. It began with the Batmobile edition and now the Batman statue edition has been delayed, both due to quality issues. They’ll drop their guns, but make sure you prevent anyone else from trying to pick them up during the battle by continuing to landing a punch when they try and grab them.I’m not sure if GC heard whilst you were away, but the special edition fiasco with Batman: Arkham Knight is ridiculous. If you land in an area where there’s a couple of armed guards, use the quickclaw (left stick toward opponent and L2+triangle/LT+Y) to grab hold of them and drag them towards you, they’ll stagger and pressing attack will see Batman clothesline them.
Take the time to upgrade the smoke pellet early and you’ll reap the benefits in fights.
This is great for quickly whittling down the amount of guys you have to fight, as you’re free to use ground takedowns as long as the smoke is still in plume. Smoke pellets disorientate anyone inside its fumes. Don’t waste it on the stunned foe, though, as you can finish them off with the flurry alone. Be mindful of any other guys looking to hit Batman from behind and be ready to counter, but try your best to get up to a combo takedown. If there’s one guy isolated from the pack, quickly use your cape to stun him (circle/B) and unload a string of attacks. Using your stun attack is great when trying to quickly tot up your combo to a takedown. It can be a little tricky at first remembering all the button inputs, but without spoiling any late-game content, it’ll be essential for you to get comfortable using all of the gadgets. Make sure you experiment with each of them and play to each of their strengths in the fight. As you progress through the game you’ll unlock lots of new toys, the vast majority of which can be used in fights.
Batman has a utility belt full of gadgets which are incredibly useful in a fight.
