New Detective Vision good or bad in Batman: Arkham City
In the demo it showed only a little bit of the place just people in it. I like it when I can walk 2 feet with it and see where I go, do not sit still and watch. Me I quit the game if you walk around with it the whole game, but not all do so perhaps, but in the choices you can switch back to the old way, if you want. Tell me what you think.

No offense, but I don’t like that idea at all. In addition, new Detective mode looks better and I like, I make it look more high tech tool that will give us a better gaming experience.

I agree that it is not clear what really will be like until you actually play. I really wish that was not changed since the first game. It's sad that people exploit the use of it. IMO, I never cared if PPL wanted to play that way though. If they wanted to "cheat", then, that depends on them. It makes no sense to complain that ... Oh, well. I am sure that the end does not matter either way. However, it will be cold, I guess.

I love the way Detective is a great tool to help further explore research skills of Batman. There is no real big difference between the "detective modes", but it looks more clear and blue. Looks awesome.

Re: New Detective Vision good or bad in Batman: Arkham City
Now I have the vision of detective. It makes more sense to me. I do not really use it much in AA, except to detect criminals to plan a strategy. From the looks of what I like about this DV. Now, not overused. The only bad thing is not to see everything around you bc either in AA when I go into a room which stood on top of something and turn it in the beginning. The only time that was left was to find and track footprints, but the AC seems to be more difficult to do.

I used to be certain times. Like if I get the impression or if I'm in the middle of something, especially when a group of thugs nearby, I'd just turn to see whether they have weapons and that would be better first strategy. As always have. I still like to be surprised. There's nothing like the thrill of a predator challenge without using DV. I guess people just have no self control. I think the change is not so bad. Perhaps the only people that will really affect those who really could control.

From what I understand, still standing is my hypothesis above, but you know what they say about assumptions. However I think the whole point of the DV is not new to grind and only use it in times of dire need. Now there are little gaps for you to take advantage of this system given that you cannot see the environment and thus becomes more difficult to maneuver. The only reason I use it just to see the sights and plan what I will do.

I thought it would be great if in Arkham City from DM basically showing X-rays of people who would be kind of cool if you could have moments like in mortal combat in which X-rays show broken bones. As goon breaks his arm and shows the breakdown of bone in the DM. and I think this would be fantastic and a great idea. I would love to see that at least in the third installment.

I do not think it will be monitoring the new missions in the game, involving detective mode. The old detective mode could pick up the strands of DNA from a bloody palm print a few feet away, allowing you to follow tracks. The new still allows you to clearly see objects a few feet away, but beyond that everything goes blurry. Still looks like bats lowered their technology to me, but that could easily be hand waved in the game (to lighten the support system gliding or something). Gameplay-wise, I think this is the best way to Rocksteady could have weakened the detective mode to prevent people from excessive use of it. Do not leave it to serve its purpose (even lets you clearly see the enemy), but prevent people from leaving it in, accidental or not. However, the demonstration videos seem to show that predators play seems more difficult and awkward with DM now (I can play the maps with DM predators all the time unless you are very familiar with the map).

I think the detective mode is better than it was in Arkham Asylum; this new mode is like the Dark Knight when using sonar around the mobile phone coverage. I think it's a very good decision will mean we have to plan more and use Detective Mode less than a win in my opinion.

I do not think you should be able to switch back and forth between the two, who designed the game around the new system. I have faith in them that will play smoothly and to be honest, I did not realize he had the detective mode all the time until the end of the game and when I realized I felt like I had cheated the game only. Perhaps it refers to the enemies when scanning the room for the enemy to turn a specific color when you turn detective mode.

I have concerns because I have so, but I think I'm more excited about the new DM because I just think it looks cooler. Mode is very reminiscent of the Dark Knight sonar. AA gave X-ray vision and the world was blue. There was no real exchange exception of visual styles. I think the version of CA will make things more difficult, which is good IMO it.
