New details on Batman: Arkham Origins – Blackgate are posted below.

– Countering and combos are present
– 2D action in a 3D world
– Epilogue to Origins
– Press demo has you interacting with Catwoman, racing along rooftops to gain access to Blackgate Prison
– Blackgate prison is the backdrop for the entire game
– This infamous penitentiary serves as a holding place for Gotham City’s vicious, yet sane, criminals
– Blackgate built as one cohesive setting
– Explore the facility as long as your equipment permits it
– Bosses can be battled in any order
– Traditional experience system has been replaced by what gadgets Batman has access to
– Entire prison is designed to progressively open and unlock as the Dark Knight finds himself with more resources and options
– What items and battles you acquire in what order will affect how you engage with enemies in the future, and apparently play into how the story will end
– Similar to how Batman will automatically adjust to enemies located on his peripheral, players are able to navigate a fully 3D world while still operating on a 2D plane
– A tower in the far background will simply be highlighted and prompt players to press the R button
– One click and the Caped Crusader pulls out his grappling hook, zips over, and continues to move to the right towards his destination
– Corners, twists, and turns are likewise easy to manage as the game dynamically shifts camera angles and footing
– Activate Detective Mode with the touch screen
– On the Vita, this is handled by directly pressing on the game’s primary screen, creating an X-ray overlay
– With the 3DS, this action will be split – pressing on the lower screen to reveal secrets above, but mechanically the idea is the same
– 3DS and Vita versions practically identical
– Vita is higher resolution
– 3DS displays more info on the bottom screen

GamesIndustry published a new interview with Shigeru Miyamoto today. You can find his responses below.

Miyamoto on not holding a press conference  at E3 this year…

Obviously we’ve been coming to E3 for many years now and one thing we always try to think of when we come to E3 is: how can we show what’s really unique about Nintendo? What you described about [the media being invited to play games] was really an effort to do something that was different and show what is truly unique about Nintendo through the games, because if all we’re doing is the exact same things the other companies are doing, you just all start to look the same and I really believe we have a lot of unique things to offer.
