I was cheking this game on Gamespot and noticed that it says "Fantasy FPS". When the devs said it was going to have a Bioshock feel, I thought it was just going to have a similar style to Bioshock. I didn't think it would be a FPS. It doesn't bother me, but I have just gotten used to playing Batman from a 2D perspective or a 3D perspective from older gens. a 3D Batman would definetely be different. Look near the middle far-left.

Batman doesn't really use projectile weapons apart from the occasional Baterang. Doesn't sound like it would work.

It's being developed by Eidos I think. I think if it played like Condemned it would turn out alright as that game was mainly melee based and didn't use as many projectiles as other shooters.

Sorry but no. Eidos can never make a game as awesome as Condemned.

Back to topic, I think this is GameSpot's mistake. The screenshots all show the game to be a 3rd person action adventure.

Well MK, I hope you're right. It is very true they cannot make a game as good as Condemned. That is still one of my favourite 360 games. But it would most likely be a similar style if it were a FPS. I am really hoping for 3rd person though.
