Batman: Arkham City Hides Several Fun Secrets Beyond The Camera
Batman: Arkham City was one of the best games of 2011, and our own Andrew Reiner then argued it was the best licensed video game ever made. Though it's a fairly polished, tight expeirence from beginning to end, it still holds a few artifacts that show off that all games have to throw in a few tricks and secrets to make games tick.
For example, in the Youtubber Shesez's latest Boundary Break video, he finds that the Bruce Wayne model used in the game's opening cutscene and the one you play as in the first playable part of the game aren't the same one. Not only that, but the cutscene model actually exists in the game world, albeit far below where anyone in Gotham would be able to find the doppleganger. We also see some the amusing tricks developer Rocksteady pulled when designing the Mad Hatter section of the game.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
