Batman's Director Weighs In On The Arkham Asylum Vs. Open-World Debate
While Batman: Arkham Knight is earning its fair share of praise, some fans still prefer the more self-contained Metroid-inspired setting of 2009's Batman: Arkham Asylum. While visiting Rocksteady last year for our cover story on Batman: Arkham Knight, we asked game director Sefton Hill about his thoughts on fans longing for a return to the single location like the asylum and to leave the open-world behind. While the interview was recorded last year, this is our first time sharing this discussion point.
Watch the video interview clip below to hear Hill's thoughts on the fan debate between Arkham Asylum versus the open worlds of Arkham City and Knight.
