The recently released ‘Batman : Arckham Asylum‘ from Rocksteady Studios pushes the envelope of character models in current gen games.
When first gaining control of Batman I immediately noticed his cape seamlessly blending from the shoulders, to the flowing cloth below as he paced and crawled through the Asylum. Soon after I marveled as the cape spread out to form the iconic gliding batman, and then help up perfectly in combat, with none of the usual glitches often seen with cloth in contemporary games.
Already i was impressed with the effort put into the character, and then further into the game, the costume starts to suffer permanent damage, as seen in the screen shot above. By the final events of the game the cape is in tatters, and batman is bleeding through cuts in the suit.
This is a refreshing change for a 3rd person game where a characters back fills a large portion of the screen for many hours. Congratulations to Rocksteady, and their character team for going the extra distance with Batman’s outfit.
