Arkham 3 What Would you like to see?

[eggstatic]

Finally, I read every post just to be up to date on what has been mentioned.
The biggest thing I picked on was some people's request to have more detective work with the mafia and more building a case and collecting evidence against criminals and working with the police to put them in jail. Now that sounds cool and all but if the third game follows the last two the game will take place in a city that is in total chaos, which doesn't fit in with the detective work. Just my two cents.

Something that bothered me while playing new game plus on hard was that while the combat did get tougher the rest of the game didn't. Same thing applies with the rest of the difficulties, the only thing that changes is combat. I think that something that should be worked on is to try to make the crime scenes and stuff that doesn't involve combat more difficult as the difficulty chosen increases. What I mean is that they shouldn't guide us and take our hand and say this is what you have to do, scan it, done. It would be interesting is scanning was scrapped altogether for harder difficulties and you have to pick up the evidence with just your skills. Much like the counter sign disappears in new game plus.

Other things that I would like to see are more balanced side missions. While the Riddler's side mission was pretty massive there were others who seemed pretty short, like hot and cold and the mad hatter one. I also had trouble with the Acts of Violence side mission in my latest gameplay, after I finished the whole game I had to roam for 30 minutes every night for several nights until I found some abusive thugs. As well I had trouble with the deadshot mission, I basically only had the first victim by the time I finished the main story so it seems somewhat strange when you finish the side mission which ties to Strange when he's already dead. You'd figure Deadshot would not kill his targets if the man who is paying him died. So what I'm asking is more balanced side missions, I understand some have to be longer than others, and better pacing for side missions who are affected by the outcome of the main story.
I enjoy the idea of a No Man's Land kind of deal and I think it would work well because Rocksteady could potentionally cut off some zones from others, for example Robin could be stuck in the Pallisades and Batman can take the rest of Gotham with Catwoman while Batgirl and Nightwing are in Arkham and Bludhaven respctively. That way they can adapt those regions to fit the character's needs movement wise. What I mean is that a character like Nightwing would have trouble moving from one point of Gotham to the other without gliding but a smaller section like Bludhaven with taylor made buildings.
Villain wise, leave the Joker dead please and just bring a good selection of villains and make the easter eggs from the previous games worth it. I understand that not all of them will end up in the game, like Harley's baby but I feel it would be a disappointment for the fans who sit through countless hours of easter egg hunting if at the end they didn't mean anything.
Finally, I feel like traveling in vehicles is not a great idea. I would rather have a deeper game with more things to do than driving around town with some races and car chases.

Something else I'd like to see in Arkham 3 is checkpoints for the characters to recover or restock, like in the new 52 Batman & Robin comics, they have their equipment stationed on gargoyles around the city. This could be used to as emergencies or something of that nature. Naturally Catwoman would have stash houses around the city and the Batcave could be available after a mission to the Bat Family.

Another thing I thought of is that there can be different type of thugs to make the predator situations unique and random because we all know people do not act completely alike especially when under stress or fear. There could be a psycho thug who's a bit trigger happy and torturous to hostages and uses his pals as sacrifices or pawns to find you. A cowardly thug who abandons everyone out of sheer fear if the player elevates the fear factor in the level. Something of that nature I'm sure there are more archetypes but I can't think of any at the moment.

I do feel like the actual story mode was too short in Arkham City and I'd definitely would like to it to be extended and the main focus in the next game rather than adding a bunch of challenge. I also agree with eggstatic

...with the deadshot mission, I basically only had the first victim by the time I finished the main story so it seems somewhat strange when you finish the side mission which ties to Strange when he's already dead.

So what I'm asking is more balanced side missions, I understand some have to be longer than others, and better pacing for side missions who are affected by the outcome of the main story.

the side missions should be balanced out through the story mode and not occurring out of order of the main storyline or some could just be independent from the story. I personally love the cast of Arkham City both non-playable and playable and wouldn't want RS to get rid of any of the characters you can play with I love playing with Batman, Robin, Catwoman, and Nightwing but I'm sure all the characters could be improved and upgraded between now and the next game.

I want to be able to go to the Batcave and be able to switch characters and suits there. Also, to be able to choose a vehicle(Batmobile,Batwing,etc.)

To be honest I wanna see the next game actually in Gotham city and the return of scarecrow and Batman actually fight killer croc. Also swap character in the story from Batman to Robin to nightwing

If we are at gotham how are we going to fight bad guys?

[ticktockkillercroc]

i want to see great white shark and more killer croc in the next game. and i really want to see great white shark trying to kill jane doe for what she did to his face.

Really wanna see Nightwing in the next game. You can't put Tim Drake (Robin) in Arkham City, whilst continuing to have Barbara Gordon (Oracle and the original Bat-Girl), and not put Dick Grayson (the original Robin) in what is supposed to be the most epic game of the series. Put it this way. If Batman needed Robin to save his *** in HQR then it stands to reason that during the events of the next game he'll end up needing the help of Nightwing, his original protege. And for those saying Nightwing wouldn't work in the game, it seems like you are forgetting that the guy is an incredibly gifted gymnast who can do things that Batman can't do without gadgetry to help.

we have already mentioned, there would need to be some sort of outbreak, like no mans land comics. maybe a prison outbreak or toxin gases leaked etc. majority of civilians would have to be evacuated and a small side mission could be to rescue the odd civilian.
