Gotham Knights | Gameplay Demo | DC

I think that should integrate more melee attacks with red hood as he’s not just a gunslinger and actually more hand to hand combative

"Red Hood uses *non lethal* rounds"
_something's wrong here, I can feel it_

Not a big fan of Nightwing having a tech glider. I’d definitely prefer him to have his traditional underarm wings to glide like Batman. I hope that’s an option.

I think the movement should be more realistic and not what I'm witnessing right now. I love the fact that Arkham Knight fully immersed you into stealth and you could play with batmans gadgets. This needs to be like that

You lost me at “Red Hood has gained magical abilities”

“Red Hood fires non lethal rounds….”
20 seconds later: Nightwing kicks man off of building to their untimely death.

They really took the best combat system a batman game could ever had, and threw it away

Red Hood needs to have more melee combat included into his gameplay so they could incorporate the crowbar that he uses in the comics and it helps speak on his character as well as makes a perfect reference to the way in which he was killed plus it still works with how he's a tank of the team.

I know this is an early build and I know it is a separate property, but I can't stop comparing it to the Arkham series, and it has it outclassed in basically every way. I'm definitely going to wait until reviews start coming in.

It looks like a mobile game at times and the chase scene looks like a arcade game. Very next gen

Something is off here. I think it’s the character movement because this just looks like a REALLY good mobile game. Hoping to see graphic and mobility improvements closer to release

Please try to give this more Development time. It looks like it needs it.

I dont mind the traversal options, but they should be limited.
Like the glide in the arkham games... very handy to get around but you still had to use the grapple and scale the buildings

Yikes. Thank God for this gameplay demo! I won't be getting this day one. You took the smoothest combat system in gaming and made it slow and sluggish. Thank you again for making me avoid wasting $80 and waiting for people to beta test this game for me!

“Red hood uses non-lethal bullets”
Nightwing then proceeds to “incapacitate” his enemy using non-lethal pavement

I feel like hanging from underneath a “tech glider” would be tiring and it looks… silly. But if red hood can jump with his soul, then I guess we’re not going for realism.

Idk I'm probably still gonna get the game but at this point, I'll be waiting for reviews or a sale. The story looks neat and I like the idea of having the Bat Family as the character roster, but I'm a bit iffy on the gameplay. Not terrible, but janky.

“Red Hood fires non lethal rounds that still do a lot of damage”
*puts two clips into a character and is still standing*

The fighting seems really slow and not as fluid as what were used to have. That kinda kills the mood for me. The way you could chain movements and attacks in the Arkham games made the fighting so satysfying an rewarding. This just feels like im gonna avoid the fighting as much as I can, if I ever get the game.

Looks good. My only real concern is that it looks like the 4 characters have elemental themes that seem pretty forced, like Red Hood with magic and Nightwing with ice.

Red hood jumps with soul energy welp there goes all my hype for the game

I really liked the first gameplay demo for batgirl. It looked great
But this one looks like red hood and nightwing are still in development
U have to increase the movement speed for nightwing and better hand to hand combat for red hood.
The cutscenes look pretty good

2:55 “holy perfect attack Nightwing”, this game is so goofy 💀

4 requirements the game needs to have:
-Good graphics
-Good story (like 20-25 hours long)
-Smooth gameplay
-Good side missions and DLCs
If the game has those, its gonna be good for me

WOW!! This is such a good mobile game. I wonder when it's gonna be released on the app store

I’d like it if each character had a unique mobility feature, as that would provide an actual reason to other characters over others (character diversity). Like if Red Hood were to be the only one with a vehicle like a militarised motorcycle, like how Batman had his batmobile. Night wing would have insane parkour attributes jumping high leaping and parkouring on top of buildings, robin would have gliding as hes the only one with cape etc. All of them would have grappling hooks though, there just needs to be some more uniqueness that would make you second guess which character to play for the specific mission as it requires that specific type of role or things that would be useful for that mission. It’d also opt for decisions to combo 2 different characters to tackle that specific type of mission.

After Spiderman, I can't get over the fact that Gotham's streets are so empty. Gotham is supposed to be a goth metropolis and it would be awesome to see some life in the city.

Why is red hood so sluggish? He's not a tank character, he should still be as agile as the rest of the bat family

I’m hyped to see the final version of the game! As of right now I think the combat looks too stiff and needs to be more fluid like the old Arkham games.

Just makes me remember how good arkham city was/is .
If this doesn't have 1vs100 in a challenge mode backed up with an encyclopaedia on every character you meet in game it will be yet another step back from a near perfect formula.

They definitely have massive potential to improve this more. Please work on it more.

the “mystical leap” function looks super goofy i’ll be honest. if they wanted to somehow incorporate magical/mystical elements to red hood’s character, they could’ve just given him the all-blades as a melee combat option instead. the jumping feature seems a bit useless too, considering he can grapple just fine. the visual effects are also too conspicuous i think idk

I don't know how I feel about this. On one hand I'm glad they are changing things, on the other hand, this game feels like it, unfortunately, goes into the same direction many games go towards nowadays. Another action oriented game for teens. And I understand that. Games have to sell, and games in this style seems to sell well, but I will sure miss that heavy athmosphere and art direction from arkham series. Also. I know it's just first look, but does not enemies seem kinda passive? Again, another trope of games in this style.

Game looks like it needs another whole year of development.

Red hood uses “non lethal rounds” seconds later “he is using piercing rounds”

This looks really awesome, I am mostly excited for this because of the co-op option!

I honestly think they need to improve on their combat style and there should be more stealth stuff, keeping the arkham style of combat in this game would be very intresting and fun to play with. along with the new mobility

Just to add in a thought, Red hood jump thing should be changed and make the combat harder hitting, that is the most satisfying part of an action game. Everything else looks great.

This is giving me the marvel avengers game feels

Y’all should make the animations more like the other Batman games, less fantasty and more hard hits for everyone, also I think the glider of night wing is a big no, you should return “realism” by using his arm deployable things

Art direction seems fine, but I'm worried about the gameplay. Nightwing's moves seem a bit too stiff. And while I'm not as upset as some about Red Hood's soul jumps, his ranged attacks seem totally bland and ineffective and quite frankly not a great deal of fun.

So is this a Spiritual successor to the Arkham games or an “In-universe” sequel?
I liked to think that in Arkham Knight Jason wasn’t killed by Joker and only hated Bruce duo to trauma instead of idiotic Resurrection madness by the pit.

Redhood is one of my favorite characters but in this game hes just way too much gun he doesn't have enough hand-to-hand combat. Arkham Knight did this perfectly they managed to combine the guns and the hand-to-hand combat beautifully now guns is all he does and that is not fun

If the characters had a smoother/ faster combinations of attacks, it would be good

Red hood " fires non leathel rounds that still do a lot of damage", meanwhile: fires 6 shots and the guy doesn't even react to any of them. 2:05

I’m sold for nightwing , I can live with the glider part but oh no red hood 😬 I hope they really touch him up more bc he’s seems to be missing a lot of details and elements. I hope batgirl and robin are more like nightwing

One tiny detail I wish was payed attention to is when the characters are in their normal 'civilian' clothes they still move all stiff. I know it would be too much extra work to add a while separate walk/run cycle while in what essentially is just a other model skin would be too much. Just a little thought that it would be cool lol to give the characters more ... character.

Definitely not as hyped as I was when they first announced this game. And even when Gotham Knights gets released after the final developments, I'm sure it won't even be close to the level of the Arkham games. So, I'll wait to see the reviews once it's released. But, I'm not gonna waste money on pre-ordering something that isn't worth it.

It might not be much but im glad they included pedestrians for once, feels more like Gotham now. Overall needs bit more polishing but im definitely excited for this!

I wish the could've used the grapple gun to be able to traverse the city

For a vigilante trained by Batman, Red Hood seems really clunky and unskilled with hands-on combat. He's gotta incorporate those guns into close-combat combos

3:57. Wow. Amazing combat. This guy playing must be skilled.

I hope the finished version has more to it.. as it is just a demo. This is awesome.

I know this isn’t the final version of the game but I’m ngl my hype for this game has decreased greatly over the past few months 😂

Soo this game is basically a skin rebrand of all “Teenage mutant ninja turtles game” even the character designs and physic

This is giving me heavy Marvels Avengers vibes

I like the game but i think that the cinematic graphics can be upgraded and the combats can be a little more fluents.

Yeah definitely needs more tweeks. Looking good, I know it's just a demo. Is this one being done with Unreal Engine? Cause they rock.

When a game has been in development for this long, and it looks like this, tells me all I need to know. Ignoring the meh graphics and the framerate, I know it’s too late in the development cycle to change the gameplay, tone and general aesthetics. By all means, I’d like to be proven wrong, but I know I won’t be.

Looks fun! Really excited about the story here.

Honestly this looks like trash. The deign of Jason/red hood in particular is terrible both aesthetically and gameplay wise. Arkham knight did an awesome job so i don't get why it sucks so bad here.

"Fires nonlethal rounds" few seconds later "Fires piercing rounds to get through armor" *ROUNDS VISIBLING PASSING THROUGH A BODY*.......I think redhood is using normal bullets

Might be in the minority here, but I am looking forward to this. Not necessarily the successor to the Arkham games I was expecting, but still looks like fun.

For those of you expecting the combat to change by the time the game comes out, don't. There is definitely not enough time left before release to change something as big as the combat system beyond small tweaks.

Idk If this is good but I think they should polish the animations and combat also they should polish some of the enemy ai I liked that red hood motorcycle chase, that looks sick

Animation’s needs to be more smoother (combat wise) and some scenes with light needs more blending (like redhood looks sometimes very bright compared to where he is).

This looks decent.
I thought they were gonna take the gameplay style from your typical Batman game, but they're making an entirely new one.
It does look a little unpolished in certain areas, like that framerate dip during the fight with that big dude. Kinda indicates that this needs more time in the oven.
That RPG system looks dogshit though, PLEASE remove that dump.

Red Hood definitely needs to have more Epic Melee Attacks in this game. Some of the parts of this game still looks completely off and out of balance.

“Red hood uses non lethal rounds”
Night wing proceeds to kick a man off of a building.

Eagerly awaiting this one! Excited to play! I can definitely wait a bit longer for some more polish too! :)

Can you not block and counter attack in this like in the Arkham games? I know they're not supposed to be the same but I feel like it should be pretty standard for something like this.

This could use another year or two to develop.
I'd rather something good later than THIS soon.

Already very happy to see they toned down the UI after people's first reactions, that means they're paying attention, but the combat could use some work. I LOVE the design of some of the suits, but I'm hoping they'll actually try and pack more references to the characters with different suits like Spider-Man rather than just cool redesigns with better stats.
As cool as Jason Todd is though, I don't feel like his mystic jump makes any sense whatsoever. Dick's trapeze glider feels very in-character and clever, Tim's Watchtower teleportation feels like a bit of a stretch, but I can work with it, but Jason just magically jumping on air feels so out of place.
Overall, I think if they can keep listening to what people are saying, the game's development is on a good trajectory, but they really need to work on bringing the whole world of Gotham into this, not just a bunch of sidequests. I want to see more of the Batman lore, both serious and zany, as a part of this.

They should probably decrease the range of the counter/attack. Seeing nightwing backflip half the building to hit an enemy once and then backflip again to the other enemy is pretty jarring. It makes sense with ranged characters like red hood but not cqc characters

Excited to play as Nightwing and CO-OP but hoping they get rid of the glider and Red Hood's soul jumping as they seem out of place. Fighting seems ok as long as it's similar to the other Arkham games and only other complaint of the UI / menus could be redesigned

Jason Todd is a beast!! Look how big he got as the red hood

this game has potential but they really should take their time with this one

I like the combat, looks more more realistic than batman games, where were so arcade.

Was hyped for this one until this demo. Looking more and more like marvels Avengers. Fingers crossed the combat gets smoothed out and has that more ‘free flow’ look found in older Arkham games. I love the source material too much not to give it a go though. Going to wait on reviews here.

games made the fighting so satysfying an rewarding. This just feels like im gonna avoid the fighting as much as I can, if I ever get the game.

Finally deciding to let the Batfamily shine and yet THIS is what we get out of it, classic WB.

Man if Batman was in this game it would be lit hopefully he comes at the end in some epic show down

Wait wait wait if red hood can use his soul to jump why isn’t he just blasting perps with his hands instead of worrying about loading guns with non lethal ammo.

This make me want to play Arkham Knight again...

"Red hood fires non-lethal rounds" I don't think you guys understand the red hood as a character...

I know it’s a different game but I hoped they would still have the same fighting system as the Arkham series , and I feel like this game was meant more for kids

im actually more excited about finding out why this one isnt set in the arkham universe, while suicide squad is, even though from the first few reveal, the inverse would make more sense. i hope the story doesn't disappoint in making that statement true.

Don’t know how I feel about red hood having new powers, also loads of people will disagree with me on this but I don’t like how beefy he looks either. I’ll probably get the game because it’s co op but I’m definitely not as hyped as before

Man this looks so good

The Batfamily comics tend to be more on the realistic side of comics. I suggest the fighting styles of Nightwing and Red Hood should be Martial Arts from Real Life.
Nightwing should use: Capoeira, Eskrima
Red Hood should use: Muay Thai, (Pencak) Sliat, Sistema,
Ect.

Love charater design 😍

Of all the means of mobility, you give Nightwing a glider with an engine.

Red hood: "has no letal bullets for not killing his enemy's."
Nightwing: *Literally throws a guy from the rooftop*

Its always good news to see Geoff Ellenor, a former Ubisoft Employee in charge of For Honor's development working on a game i WAS anticipated for...

Wow. This looks absolutely amazing and could be THE game to finally challenge the supremacy of Snake on my Nokia 3210.

Cant wait till it goes on sale after a few months

How does the city look worse than Arkham Knight.....even City.

I take the graphics with a grain of salt since it’s still in development but red hood ‘soul stepping’ is a bit of a reach for me.
As is the combat. I like the concepts they’ve gone with but it seems really clunky. With all these characters already available to play as in Arkham knight you’d expect some inspiration of play style. (Yes, I know they’re not from the same continuity)

Everything looks great to me except the combat. Hopefully the story is awesome

It looks fun but hoods should have more melee combat and everyone else has melee weapons why not give him a crowbar or if you want to go for the new 52 comics give him the all blades
