Waiting eagerly for the PC version, so I'm on media blackout to avoid coming spoilers.

Could get it for PS3 I guess, but the superior graphics will be worth the wait and I actually felt really comfortable with the kb&m controls in AA.

I've been avoiding the sites as well so I don't see any spoilers, I had the ending to the original mass effect and dragon age 2 ruined by jerks.

I'm seriously considering changing my order to PS3 instead of PC so I don't have to wait.  My tv isn't even HD and most games I play on it look amazing anyway.  I don't need it too look the best.  I just don't want to wait another month to play this.

Why the hell is the PC version coming out a month later? And right alongside Skyrim. Real brilliant.

Because dem developers are console fanbois! Nah, don't really care. It seems really dumb, but nothing can be done about it.

I think my pre-order copy is over at Best Buy today but I'm feeling lazy about going over to get it.

So after much drama waiting for this game today (long story short, the sore didn't have a 360 copy handy, and I had to wait till evening for one), I finally managed to play it. And all I can say is... WOW. Rocksteady has taken what they built in Arkham Asylum and refined it around an open world that revels in giving you stuff to do. 

Seriously. I'm barely following the main story and just focusing on most of the side missions. On the gameplay front, the new gliding mechanic takes some getting used to, and the combat is still as fluid as ever but a hell of a lot more vicious.There are more ways that mooks can lay down the pain, but as does Batman. 

This is a phenomenal game and I'll probably more of my impressions once I finish it.

Lucky, I know once I get the game the only thing I'm doing is Arkham city till I beat it.

Once you get used to the gliding controls, how far can you potentially glide?

I stayed up till 5 in the morning watching Video Games Awesome stream of it. I am giving up on the PC version and grabbing myself a PS3 copy as soon as I can. There is no way I'm waiting another f-ing month for this. Just by watching someone else play it it easily looks like the near perfect review scores are deserving. If I had to pick between this or Skyrim I'd seriously be going "Whats Skyrim?" at this point.

[Nameless one7]

Did anyone play the pc and console versions of arkham asylum, and if so which one was better?

I'm surprised to hear how strongly you feel about it. I imagine I should take a look at some gameplay footage.

I normally wouldn't touch any game based on a movie or superhero character - the advertising and trailers have not held any appeal for me simply because the concept of a game based on Batman, Spiderman, Superman, etc., seems very unappealing. 

I will attempt to consider it with an open mind, however, considering the high praise it has been receiving.

Other superhero games don't compare with the arkham series, once you play it you will say this is how superhero games should be done.

Well yeah Akrham Asylum is one of my favorite games.  I played it again a couple weeks ago to get ready for this and its taking all my will not to install it and play it again (seeing as I cant get AC till friday)

I'm a big Batman fan but even if I wasn't I'd be saying how great it is.  It gives me a very big happy to see the movies and games being not only good but getting such high praise (I found myself agreeing with Game Informer's review and I haven't even played it yet)
Its a hell of a great time to be a batman fan.  And to anyone whose not a fan I can easily say its a great game on its own right.

Here's a PhysX comparison video from EVGA showing some of the PhysX effects we can expect to see in the game!

Looks great!   I have a dedicated physx card so it's definitely going to see a good workout with Batman AC.

Whats noticeable as well, is the much higher texture detail in the PC version compared to the consoles..

[slimgrin]

I loved Arkham Asylum but for me there was zero replay value in the main campaign, so I hope that's changed this time.

[RPGamer13]

Aw... I don't have NVidia. So, then what's the purpose of getting the PC version for me?

In Arkham Asylum, PhysX is little more than a gimmick, I'm sorry but it is. So you get to see extra sheets of paper swirling around.  It really doesn't add much to the game. Frankly, TW2 has marvelous weather effects that are on par with anything in Arkham Asylum, without PhysX.

I was just pointing out that with the comparison, that those extra sheets of paper is really the only reason to buy the PC version over the console versions if you catre about that stuff. The graphics themselves in the video didn't look any different.

I just read a review which indicates Arkham City is "open world."

Sorry, but both of you guys are mad. First off, the only weather effect in the Witcher 2 is rain, and it's basically a canned effect. Secondly, you are both welcome to your opinions, but I thought that the PhysX effects in Batman AA added a lot to the atmosphere and mood of the game. Arkham Asylum was notably creepier and gloomier with PhysX effects enabled than without.

And there were a lot more effects than sheets of paper. There were dynamic steam and fog effects, dynamic cloth/cobwebs, massively increased rigid bodies, debris, environmental destruction (although admittedly the destruction effects were very limited) etc..

The Scarecrow levels alone had thousands of rigid bodies that weren't present with physx disabled

And this is all calculated physics, rather than canned physics. Batman AC looks like it's going to one up Batman AA, because even though the video didn't show many physx effects, from the little we did see, it's obvious the particle count has increased tremendously!

Also, I can tell the footage in the video is the PC version and not the console version, even without looking at the textures. You can see the ambient occlusion effects, plus the contact hardening soft shadows if you know what to look for.

I still say the game doubled as a tech demo for Nvidia, and that the mist, sun rays, and rain blur effects of TW2 are just as impressive.

Yeah they were impressive, but none of them were physics related.

At any rate, Geforce.com has an exclusive first look at PhysX in Batman Arkham City.

They also posted the first confirmed screenshot of tessellation in Batman Arkham City:



You can see tessellation in the background, and on Catwoman's outfit.

[RPGamer13]

What am I seeing? I guess in the images without it her chest doesn't pop as much and it looks like the two different materials are actually at different thicknesses and not flat? Is that what I'm supposed to notice?

Well, the effects of PhysX are much
more apparent in the video you posted.  I don't remember walls that
broke away like that on my Xbox 360 in Arkham Asylum.

But I don't
have an Nvidia card so, it doesn't really matter since without PhysX it
looks like there will be no difference between playing natively on my
PC or through my Xbox 360.
