Arkham City news just keeps on coming! Constant previews, new screens, a release date and now an insight into the games length!

Dax Ginn from Rocksteady claims that it takes the Rocksteady Q&A guys eight hours to play through Batman: Arkham City; that doesn't count side missions. For a normal play through we can expect 20-24 hours.

He also said that 80% of that time will take place on the streets, in the city itself - with the remaining 20% inside buildings.

Awesome.

*Adjusts sig*

there must be alot of side mission if the time almost doubles the main story

I hope they don't fall back on old crutches like backtracking, item collecting (like inFamous), or filler combat.  The 80% in the streets thing has meworried that it's gonna be Grand Theft inFamous.  I'll try to be optimistic, though.

So no 10% hanging out with Robin in the locker room? :(

i hope there are many things to do in teh game. i gave up on the first one after a few hours.

man they need to do the next in the whole Gotham City...GTA Batman...this would be the best game EVER! ^^

Perfect length. Not too long or short.

20 hours sounds too long to me.  i'm not expecting a lot of filler/fluff that worsens the overall experience.

thats a whole lot of side missions
