Robin Free-Roam in Batman: Arkham City - PC Gameplay

[badmankevin132]

DUDE 45 HIT STREAK nice

[GameCheeseHD]

@badmankevin132 Cheers, buddy. :)

I played the crap out of the first game, so I've had plenty of practice.

[EclipseHedgehog]

robin story chapters would've been so cool. oh well. maybe rocksteady didn't have enough time.

[dizzykillz]

you are such a nice person... giving opportunity for others to play free-roam using Robin and Nightwing... There should be more people like you (Unselfish) and who shares his creation...

Bless you man :)

[GameCheeseHD]

@dizzykillz Aw, that's very nice of you to say. Thank you. :)

I agree. The world would be a much better place if less people were selfish.

[badmankevin132]

i have a question. is it possible to do missions while youre robin or nightwing in this mod

[GameCheeseHD]

@badmankevin132 It's possible to start from the beginning of the game tied to the chair as Robin/Nightwing, but as soon as you go to the courthouse you would get locked in there as Robin and Nightwing don't have the gadgets necessary for the completion of that scene (the forensic scanner). So for that reason, I modded it to start at a random chapter in the city so you're free to traverse the city and bust some heads without any story to follow. It's not ideal but it was the best way to do it.

[fantastic097]

@GameCheeseHD I wonder why they treat you like your Batman

[GameCheeseHD]

@fantastic097 Because it's a custom made mod. You're not supposed to play as Robin or Nightwing in story mode, so the voice actors don't have any lines recorded for if you're playing as one of those two.

[antihater4567]

is it possible to get arkham city on the pc for free?

[GameCheeseHD]

@antihater4567 Not legally, unless you win it in a competition or something.

[iInTerPreTeR]

So i've beaten the main story with joker etc, this wont break my game or anything? and what does it mean by start a new game?

[GameCheeseHD]

@iInTerPreTeR Nope. Just create a new save file and start a new game. I have a completed game save too and it's totally unaffected by this mod. :)

[iInTerPreTeR]

@GameCheeseHD Thanks for replying, I'm having installation problems with it... don't know what i'm doing wrong :(, I don't mean to bug you but after Bruce Wayne gets captured etc and he puts on the suit i'm still Batman, or have I misunderstood?

[GameCheeseHD]

@iInTerPreTeR Hi, can you tell me where you're placing the DefaultGame.ini file? I might be able to help you from there.

[iInTerPreTeR]

@GameCheeseHD into the directory, Bmgame, config, then i'm renaming the one already in there DefaultGameCopy and placing in the DefualtGame.ini - Robin file?

[GameCheeseHD]

@iInTerPreTeR Rename "DefaultGame.ini - Robin" to just "DefaultGame.ini". Also be sure it's in the game directory under Program Files and not the one found somewhere in My Documents.

[iInTerPreTeR]

@GameCheeseHD aaah thank you, its working now :D ! thanks for your help and sorry for being a pain !

[GameCheeseHD]

@iInTerPreTeR No worries. I'm happy to help. Glad it's working for you now. :)

[JoWaSi94]

Robin looks like a little boy playing superhero on the street :D

[Skysoldier91]

9 people are playing xbox 360 lol

[TheNorwegianski]

Use bandicam:-)

[GameCheeseHD]

@TheNorwegianski I can't be arsed to buy it. Lol.

[1350harrylarry]

Can robin talk to other boss like penguin or calendar man

[GameCheeseHD]

@1350harrylarry He can talk to Calendar Man, but he still acts as if you're Batman. And going in to the court room gets you locked in there anyway, so I wouldn't recommend it. I think the majority of the doors leading to different bosses are locked. This mod isn't the most stable, bug-free release, I'll admit, but I just wanted to get a quick and dirty Robin/Nightwing free-roam mod out there for people to play with.

[TheDARKNESS8030]

seems like rocksteady intended this to happen because it has every function and gadget tht robin has if not then it just wud have been another skin right?

[GameCheeseHD]

@TheDARKNESS8030 Well, what I did is in a text file change it to load Robin as the playable in character instead of Batman. So it should load Robin with all of his gadgets and stuff. If I was actually replacing Batman's model with Robin then he might not have had all of his gadgets and functions. However, it probably would have just created a load of problems trying to replace Batman's model with Robin.

[TheDARKNESS8030]

@GameCheeseHD lol nice then are you able to load any skin that goes with him? and it sucks you cant do this in the ps3/xbox versions i really love the sheild smash

[GameCheeseHD]

@TheDARKNESS8030 Yep, you can use all the different outfits for each character using the method I did.

[TheDARKNESS8030]

@GameCheeseHD man thats awsome :p

[A1Pathan]

Dude that's awesome, I don't have the pc version but may get it cuz of these additions. By the way, how are the movie sequences? I'm guessing they show Batman right or do they skip? And do the mods talk to Oracle and other characters like police cop or they have Batman's voice too? Sorry for the long comment, thx for the vid anyway!

[GameCheeseHD]

@A1Pathan Thanks for commenting. :)

Currently how the mod works is that you're dropped in to Arkham City as Robin with no story to follow. Robin doesn't have all of the gadgets necessary for the completion of the story, so I felt it was best to start at a chapter with no story. In-game cutscenes would have Robin, for example when you're tied to chair at the beginning that would be Robin. Pre-rendered cutscenes would still be Batman however. And yeah, it's still Batman's voice.

[Magnus2556]

@A1Pathan Oftentimes it's best to get the PC version of a game as opposed to the console version. Console games cannot be modded and so their life is limited to what content they offer to begin with, or atleast that was the case before the DLC trend began. The main issue with PC games is that they require a beast of a machine. Most console games are tailored for their console's specs, and these days they're ported to PCs with little care. Ex: GTA4 received a poor PC port.

[Neatroultima]

How hard is it for Rocksteady to make this happen with the ps3 and xbox.

[GameCheeseHD]

@Neatroultima Probably not hard at all. All I did was change a few words in a text file to make this mod, and I didn't even really know what I was doing.

[BK181294]

Holy frame rate, Batman

[GameCheeseHD]

@BK181294 Someone's already used that joke.

[BK181294]

@GameCheeseHD aw

[GameCheeseHD]

@BK181294 Hehe, sorry.

[Tomb777Raider]

At 0:42 Robin takes that guy out by crushing his balls.

[GameCheeseHD]

@Tomb777Raider The most effective way of taking a guy out is by crushing his balls. Robin made the right decision, me thinks.

[103peanut]

I'm sure a sequel will be made to Arkham City because of the hidden secrets, great reviews and great sales. Not only that but the people at Rocksteady Studios might feel as if there could be one more game too due to the ending and Gotham City not being open to explore yet. Am I suspecting a sequel will be made sometime in the future? Yes.

[GameCheeseHD]

@103peanut Oh yeah. Definitely count on a sequel. Warner Bros. will probably force Rocksteady to make one anyway, even if they don't want to, but they probably do. You can tell they are all massive Batman fans.

[103peanut]

@GameCheeseHD Yeah and I can't wait for another game.

[123Kenge]

@103peanut they said its a trilogy with mark hamil to reprise the role. Contract bound.

[103peanut]

@123Kenge Ya mean it's been confirmed for a third game already?

[123Kenge]

@103peanut look it up. Hamils resignation was just to animation tvs and movies but the not rocksteady games. Warner bros doesn't have to force anyone, Rocksteady set out with a trilogy in mind. And Warner Bros can't 'force' them, they are just a distributing company not a publishing...

[103peanut]

@123Kenge Well with how Arkham City ended, there aint no way it should be the last game of the series and also how Gotham City isn't entirely explorable yet but yet is able to be seen in Arkham City. Such as seeing those tall buildings. Gotham City is completely forbidden to go to in Arkham City.

[GameCheeseHD]

@123Kenge Warner Bros. was the publisher of Arkham City, and they bought a majority stake in Rocksteady a few months after Arkham Asylum released, so it probably is up to them whether another Batman game gets made. They are the ones who give Rocksteady the funding, after all.

[103peanut]

I am done looking for the original comment when the top comment is a reply.

[GameCheeseHD]

@uClicked Yes, that's what it says in the description.

And the annotation.

And in numerous comments.

[uClicked]

@GameCheeseHD Oh, sorry, I was looking on my iPod, and the description didn't show up.

[GameCheeseHD]

@uClicked Ah okay. No worries then, mate. :)

[uClicked]

@GameCheeseHD Alright, cool.

Love, the game, and video, by the way. Wish I had a gaming computer.

[TheCoolbeansbro]

i cant get this to work i have tried for days and it wont work PLEASE HELP ME

[RyanStudioz]

no fair why only pc?

[GameCheeseHD]

@RyanStudioz Because Rocksteady doesn't love you.

[Naruto89522]

@RyanStudioz

its a hack thats why its only on pc

[thewolvbeast264]

i want free roam batman is travel around gotham city wayne manor and bat cave

[petenize]

does robin have all the gadget to complete the entire campaign or do is there a part he cant get buy.

[GameCheeseHD]

@petenize Nope, unfortunately Robin doesn't possess all the gadgets necessary for the completion of the campaign. He doesn't have the forensic scanner for example, so he can't scan the bullet holes in the courtroom right near the beginning of the game.

[petenize]

@GameCheeseHD do you know if it is possible to transfer some of batmans gadgets to robin and nightwing and if possible how i might go about doing that?

[GameCheeseHD]

@petenize Nope, there's no easy way to do that. While it MIGHT be possible some way, I definitely don't have the skills or knowledge to do so. Sorry.

[3DHDcat]

the reason why Rocksteady didnt put it in the game because there is no reason for them too, there are no unique Riddler Trophies for NWing and Robin to collect,they cant even collect a 1/4th Riddler Trophies..alll they can do is fly around and beat up guys which the Ridlers Revenge mode can do

Still,this is awesome work from the person who made the Mod,if there was an option for the PS3 version heck id try it for an hour

[joshwha22]

it should work for ps3

[Bond0074910]

Man How to use them in Arkham City I already mod my game directory!

[TheStalkingStalker]

OH HEY I THINK I SHOULD ASK IS THIS AVAIABLE FOR 360 AND/OR PS3!!! :O:O:O

[becker9192]

luuuuuuuuuuuucky butt-face

[9Ryboy9]

Could you tell me what level I can start free roaming at ? :) Thanks.

[GameCheeseHD]

@9Ryboy9 You can just free-roam whenever.

[eedobaba7726]

I wasn't aware that Robin was a playable character at all. How do you unlock him?

[GameCheeseHD]

@eedobaba7726 Robin was released as downloadable content for the game, which you can find on the PlayStation Store, Xbox Live Marketplace or Games for Windows LIVE Marketplace.

Personally, I think he probably should have been included in the first place, but I'm betting Warner Bros. made Rocksteady take him out so they could make some extra coin...

[bahumat42]

@GameCheeseHD

Wrong he was released as one of 3 special editions, getting his one meant you got him. They did the dlc later on.

[GameCheeseHD]

@bahumat42 Was he, or was he not, released as downloadable content? He was, so I'm not wrong. I know you could get Robin as a pre-order bonus from select retailers but it's redundant telling him that now, four months after release.

[MacumbacaoExtrema]

Since you make this mode would be be able to bring all Batman's counter moves from the challenges to the free roam mode? Because RS didnt but all Batman's moves in the free roam, just in the challenges

[lycanblood99]

oh so you can play as nightwing on ps3

[MrLeesenatore]

this is not PC

[GameCheeseHD]

@MrLeesenatore Oh really? Shit, was all that recording and modding I did of the PC version just a figment of my imagination then?

[lycanblood99]

@GameCheeseHD is there any way to play as night wing or robin on ps3 at all or even possible because that wuld be really awesome i have both dlcs plus a costume it even wont let me choose a costume why is that? pls respawn

[GameCheeseHD]

@lycanblood99 Yes, you CAN play as Robin and Nightwing on PS3...

In the challenge maps.

[MacumbacaoExtrema]

@MrLeesenatore Its PC. He just used XBOX 360 Controller to play it. You can do that on Windows

[YummyJuice14]

So I heard and saw that you can free roam with Robin on Xbox 360, but I can't find out how and can't find anymore information on it. Please respond, I'm very confused.

[GameCheeseHD]

@YummyJuice14 No, you can't free-roam with Robin on Xbox 360.

[MrLeesenatore]

@GameCheeseHD yep but on nightwing you can

[superchickin86]

Does the mod make the gameplay choppy like the video? Or is that just the video itself?

[GameCheeseHD]

@superchickin86 It's just the video. The mod itself has no impact on performance. :)

[Mcseban]

@Kira2354 you are a fool

[Popkov123]

aw dude! i need to start a new game? seriously?

[GameCheeseHD]

@Popkov123 Yeah, unfortunately. I'm not exactly a professional scripter, so it's not like I can code in an option at the menu to allow play as Robin. If I knew how to make it any more convenient to play as Robin, I would. Just start a new save file - it's not too much hassle.

[Kira2354]

man your so full of it if this is only for the pc version then why dose your screen say to bush the right bumper to use your grapple gun

[GameCheeseHD]

@Kira2354 You're not serious, right? Please tell me you're not serious.

[xWarriorOfLegendx]

@Kira2354 You know you can plug an xbox controller into the Pc right........

[gninja92]

@xWarriorOfLegendx can i use my wireless xbox controller and just use the play charge kit to connect to the pc?

[GameCheeseHD]

@gninja92 It won't hurt to try. :)

If it doesn't work then you'll probably need to buy a wireless controller adapter for PC.

[NOTWSProductions]

@gninja92 No you cannot.

[1993Thescarecrow]

@gninja92 Yes you can use a wireless one, my cousin uses his.

[theb13maker]

@Kira2354 what an total.......shit mined freak

[TheJCPrime]

can this be for ps3

[Benfan10000]

You should make a step-by-step tutorial on how to do this mod and get Robin with it.

[TheAnnoyingRyan]

what should i do??

[GameCheeseHD]

@TheAnnoyingRyan You need the DLC for it to work.

[TheAnnoyingRyan]

@GameCheeseHD Ok but how can i get it in pc??

ps:got just the catwoman dlc

[GameCheeseHD]

@TheAnnoyingRyan You can purchase it on Games for Windows LIVE Marketplace.

[TheAnnoyingRyan]

@GameCheeseHD Okay

[TheAnnoyingRyan]

I just did every think But they told to have Nightwing_playable_sf or something like that !!

[pwsjunior]

U wont get banned?

[GameCheeseHD]

@pwsjunior No. Why would you get banned for using a mod in a single player game?

[lego2391]

yo i tried to do the download but i dont know how to

[KablaamTV]

robin is the shyt

[MatthewDBourke]

Is this for PS3 or X-Box 360?

[GameCheeseHD]

@MatthewDBourke I hope you're just trolling.

[MegaMrfuckyou]

i could hear those combos with that ninja iron stick all day long....

[WWE3837]

but ur playing this for the xbox 360?????

[GameCheeseHD]

@WWE3837 *Repeated facepalms*

[phairphax76]

@GameCheeseHD *Helps GameCheese facepalm himself* There there sir, now just Breaaathhhh. Haha 

[GameCheeseHD]

@phairphax76 Thank you. Lol.

[memorexdrc]

How'd u get this? And can u dive while gliding as robin?

[GameCheeseHD]

@memorexdrc It's a mod for the PC version of the game. Robin doesn't have the dive bomb ability.

[megatrondecepticon2]

Riddler: Hello, Dark Knight.

Robbin: What the fuck man?

[Xile257]

I need help. I don't have a defaultgame.ini.

[GameCheeseHD]

@Xile257 Then your game is broken. :P

If you have the game on Steam it should be under Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\Common\B­atman2\BmGame\Config

If you have the retail version then I'm guessing it's something like Program Files\WB Games\Batman Arkham City\BmGame\Config

Look in that directory and DefaultGame.ini should be there.

[Xile257]

@GameCheeseHD Okay, I don't see DefaultGame.ini But I see Default Game.

[GameCheeseHD]

@Xile257 Yeah, it's probably that. I reckon it's not called DefaultGame.ini for you because you have a setting that doesn't show the file extension of common file types. I can't remember how you change it though...

[collinator98]

EA banned me for woohooing on sims D:

[GameCheeseHD]

@collinator98 What?! But that's part of the game!

[AgentCell]

There should be a patch that allows console players to play as robin and nightwing in the freeroam game. COME ON ROCKSTEADY!!!

[Pomi41]

Please say me how I can play Robin in free roam ? (I have downloaded the mod )

[pwsjunior]

can u get your ip address banned 

[AgentCell]

@pwsjunior Hell no. There is no reason why you would get banned for modding the game. That's what modders do. As long as it's not pirating, it doesn't matter what you do. Besides, this game is not from EA. If it was EA, then you pretty can't do shit because they'll ban anyone for just anything.

[TheAlexioguy]

no i know what it is. its because if you preoder the game you

get the free robin skin to paly as during the game. also theres a limited edition one too. that allows you to do that. thats what i presume

[GameCheeseHD]

@TheAlexioguy No, it's a mod.

[gberrios2]

I think that is hacked or you do something to your game because you still hearing hugo strange voice while you still outside figthing and when the riddler talks is to batman not robin. So for me that is no true is hacked or something.

[GameCheeseHD]

@gberrios2 It's a mod.

[FallenM16]

@GameCheeseHD i have no idea how u got robin in this,i've went over this millions of times.

[FallenM16]

what u said to do didn't work...you should make a step to step tutorial video.

[TheL4RE]

my remote controlled batarang won't work with batman after modding :(

[GameCheeseHD]

@TheL4RE Oh shit. Sorry dude. Totally forgot, I was playing around with those settings to see if I could make the remote batarang be able to travel for an infinite distance but it didn't work. Open DefaultGame.ini, find and change these lines:

"OverworldRCBatarangRange=1000­00000" should be "OverworldRCBatarangRange=8000­"

"OverworldRCBatarangWarnRange=­150000000" to "OverworldRCBatarangWarnRange=­1500"

"OverworldRCBatarangWarnHeight­=100000000" to "OverworldRCBatarangWarnHeight­=1000"

[slipknotcrazy100]

@GameCheeseHD lmfao

[joseph96720]

why did riddler call robin "dark knight" when he got the riddler trophy

[joseph96720]

does robin have the same gadgets that batman has in free roam? im askin cause i have Batman arham city on ps3

[DeconAD25]

aww man I wanted to be robin in free roam well hopefully there well be a be a dlc for it

[tagdata12]

this is a mod right? U can't free roam with robin on 360. :(

[GameCheeseHD]

@tagdata12 That is correct.

[gilsteele]

I can't find DefaultGame.ini in the configuration folder.Help!

[GameCheeseHD]

@gilsteele Try to find your Batman folder in Program Files. Then once you found it, DefaultGame.ini should be under BmGame\Config\

[gilsteele]

@GameCheeseHD Its in a different name UserGame

[GameCheeseHD]

@gilsteele UserGame.ini is in your My Documents game directory. You need to find the game directory in Program Files.

[gilsteele]

@GameCheeseHD Ok thanks! Uh so how do you change skins with robin in story mode?

[GameCheeseHD]

@gilsteele In the DefaultGame.ini, change the line "?Players=Playable_Robin?" to one of the following:

"?Players=Playable_Robin_Red?" - for Red Robin

"?Players=Playable_Robin_AS?" - for Animated Series Robin.

[gilsteele]

@GameCheeseHD Do You have to have the DLC to do this

[GameCheeseHD]

@gilsteele Yes, you need the Robin DLC for the mod to work.

[gilsteele]

@GameCheeseHD Its in a different name UserGame also how can i change skins with robin?

[EinsteinEMP826]

now all we need is a Hit-Girl mod...

[GruBkiL1er]

If they made free roam for xbox and ps3 when u switch people they say this everyone alredy know what batman says to catwoman and catwoman to batman the person u play as s first then switch 2nd

Nightwing 2 Catwoman: Well well well if it isnt the boy who set me up

Catwoman 2 Nightwing: Surprised u havent escaped!

robin 2 Nightwing: Go to Gotham i'll take over

Nightwing 2 Robin: I'm gunna find batman

Catwoman to Robin : Meow its boy wonder

robin to catwoman: U havent escaped?



[Ryan60cool]

Is there Batman's Bat Mobile to drive?

[GameCheeseHD]

@Ryan60cool Unfortunately, no.

[Ryan60cool]

@GameCheeseHD Ok

[alakazam0master]

@GameCheeseHD If I follow your instructions to download these, it won't screw up original game, right?

[GameCheeseHD]

@alakazam0master Nope. It's easy to switch back to the original unmodded game. You just simply rename two files. :)

[0cards0]

when can you freeroam? after how many missions?

[GameCheeseHD]

@0cards0 You can free-roam pretty much from the beginning of the game. After a 5 - 10 minute introductory scene, Arkham City is yours to explore. :)

[0cards0]

@GameCheeseHD i mean the big city now im on islan with 5 buildings)

[GameCheeseHD]

@0cards0 I think you're playing the wrong game. It sounds like you've got Arkham ASYLUM rather than Arkham CITY.

[Ryan60cool]

So can we freeroam in the city in this game?

[GameCheeseHD]

@Ryan60cool The video above suggests so.

[ralphchery87]

My son is Nice

[GameCheeseHD]

@ralphchery87 I'm sure he is. Thanks for sharing.

[ReemRiochette]

i cant find the defaultgame.ini in the folder help!!!

[KoopaNinj]

This will most likely be possible in the Wii U version of arkham city. and Nightwing too.

[mesuirchief]

Holy framerate, Batman!

[GameCheeseHD]

@mesuirchief *trollface*
