As revealed in the new issue of PSM3, one of the new features in Batman: Arkham City is an interrogation mechanic. “The Riddler continues to taunt the Dark Knight with mind-bending puzzles and exploration challenges, but the location of his biggest secrets are known only to him and people he’s told,” says game director Sefton Hill.
“Rather than unlocking their locations using maps, Batman will be able to scan a gang of thugs to find a potential informant. This is the guy you need to question, but first you’ll have to take down all the other gang members while sparing the one you want.”
Hill didn’t delve into how exactly the mechanic will play out, but I’m sure you can imagine the possibilities. If Splinter Cell: Conviction taught me anything, it’s that smashing dudes into conveniently located, breakable objects is both fun and effective.
