Just to be clear, there will be a option to start a new game, just not with all your upgrades.

The whole point of Chapter Select is to replay and go back to a segment of the game, the way you were when you first reached it. The whole purpose is to replay, whether it's because you want to experience the story again from that point or to do things differently with your weapons and gear. It's that simple.

As for revisiting areas, you can do that without Chapter select. You have the fast travel feature for that, which allows you to teleport to previously revisited areas and explore them.

Honestly I love it all, we have fast travel + chapters selection, that's all I asked for! :jmp:

It stills sounds very weird having Chapter Select and the upgrade system... Bugs/glitches are gonna exist for sure...

I hated how we didn't have chapter select in TRU. This is great :jmp:

Yeah, I figured that there will be an option to re-start the game.

Oh, so, after we beat the game, we will just roam the island? I just thought that we would be stuck with Chapter Select :p :o ...!

So, it will be like Replay Level, more or less?

Actually we sort of had a chapter select option in the load game option and also a new game+ option. Just play treasure hunt and if you have found all the relics and your health bar is already blue (upgraded full) if you selet the new game option you can start the game with all of the already picked up treasures and relics as well as your upgraded health.

Yeah, I see what you mean. Maybe all our upgrades are lost when we re-select a chapter? That sounds crap, though. :/ I think it's best until we see for ourselves how it's really going to work or else we could drive ourselves crazy thinking about it too much. :p

Yes, more or less.

By the way, what I'm saying is speculation; it's not like I've played the game myself or CD have said for themselves. They could be doing something different with the Chapter Select. But it's a simple feature that most games these days have, it's just logical that the way I described is right.

Roaming the island after finishing the game is definitely confirmed, though.

yeah im confused.. will lara roam the island once the game is over then? i hope so

She will since you can re-explore to unlock previously locked areas and stuff, but it doesn't mean Lara will stuck on the island, it's off-plot thinguie.

Thank god for that! I always hate not being able to play that cool part of a game, instead having to start from the very beginning. Its daft that Arkham City never had it.
