Batman:arkham asylum

from what I'm reading,hearing and seeing I believe that this Batman/arkham asylum game is gonna be the next realllllyyyy Big thing in console games.
You can tell from previews,videos and the overall comments made about the game that its being glorified for good reason....
 
Played the demo the other day...it was pretty damn fun. Im definitely going to pick it up.

Oh and you got to love the original voices from the animated series back for this game!
 
I cant wait for this game, I'm a big fan of the Batman and it looks like this game finally does him justice, one of our UK computer mags has rated it 96%, looks like a must have game of 09, might even spend the extra cash on the collectors edition it comes with a 14" batarang ("no kids, not at next doors cat, give daddy his toy back")

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/batman-arkham-asylum/achievements/ - achievements so far, minor spoilers I guess

http://www.spaziogames.it/videorece...rma/3662/batman-arkham-asylum.aspx?a=0&node=0 - this video's in Italian, but it shows a lot of new scenes. To sum up what they're saying, they pretty much said that they played the final version of the game and really enjoyed it. They also say that there will be a second boss fight with Bane that involves the Batmobile.

http://www.dailymotion.pl/video/xa0h1g_first-10-minutes-of-batman-arkham-a_videogames - here's the first 10 minutes of the game, which shows the interactive opening that wasn't revealed earlier on. It's got some very very minor spoilers of course, but mainly it's just banter between Joker and Batman, the guards, etc., it's pretty cool nonetheless though.

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/demo-trailer-batman-arkham/53695 - and lastly here's the trailer for the demo (different than the fighting demo in stores) which comes out this week for Xbox Live and PSN on August 7th

also, apparently the ending for this game had to be approved by DC, because there's supposed to be some kind of shocking twist. Any thoughts as to what that might be?
 
I thought it had something to do with commissioner Gordon biting the bullet, but I can't remember where I heard it so don't quote me on it.

I think it was on an E3 video, the developer was showing the game and just said it while he was talking to the interviewer????

Anyone else got any ideas?
 
demo came out on psn today in u.s. just played it. Very nice looking game. alittle uneasy in the controls area but its the kinda game that once you lay into it for over an hour you got it down,I played it briefly. Looks very promising...
 
Downloaded the new demo on XBOX Live today and very happy to see it's not the same demo I played at Target on the PS3. The controls seem just fine and it played very smooth. So far the best Batman game I've played with Batman Begins being second. If the demo is any indication it shows that the developers really put their hearts into it. I loved sitting perched on a gargoyle, picking off henchmen one by one while they're trying to look for me and all the while I'm watching them thinking "I'm the goddamn Batman!" I also like how bullets really take a chunk off your life so that it forces you to find other ways of dispatching enemies. I've had my pre-order paid off since April so I can't wait to just walk into Gamestop on Aug. 25 and pick it up.:batman:

what the fuck you lookin at?
might be worth checking out the demo.
 
It might take me a while to beat the actual game because I just love taking out all the henchmen in the room except one. Then I go and proceed to stalk that one henchmen for about 20 minutes. I can't wait to see the Predator Challenge maps, I'm gonna have field day with those.
 
No Live for me so no demo for me either :(

I'm definitely excited for this game though. I just hope it lives up to the mountain of hype I've placed on it's shoulders.

Banned?
OUCH YEAAAH. The demo is awesome. I knew the fighting would be good, but there is some real strategy envolved too. I am getting this for sure.
 
I was surprisingly very impressed with the demo, this game has some major potential.

It does well to recreate the dark and mentally disturbing atmosphere of the animated series which really adds to the experience. The AI is also actually pretty well done, I'd say it's even more involved as a sneaking game than Splinter Cell or Metal Gear Solid series.

And it has Mark Hamill as the joker. Instant win.
 
after reading all the comments I'm excited for this game I was really hoping it would be good I've also got the demo downloading so hope to give it a try soon

Just played the demo and I'm not impressed. Like was stated earlier. Its just like Splinter Cell with some things taken from the wolverine game. That formula has been done before too. Nothing new, same shit different skin, and the graphics aren't good at all. I'm gonna pass.

On the note of the graphics... it does unfortunately look like every single other Unreal engine game... it's like they don't bother to change the lighting system at all (though it does work well, it looks pretty ... generic when every game looks the same.)

I just have a small bit of hope that there're a lot more gameplay elements than have been shown in the demo... otherwise, then yeah it might start to get pretty repetitive.
