Some new villain reveals..

Harley Quinn: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/48062.html

Bane: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/48039.html

Looks like they have the same voice for Harley that was used in the Animated Series - sweet!

This game is giving me a giant nerd boner! It's like MGS meets Batman.

Those videos are awesome. I am getting too excited for this game, I'm just hoping it doesn't disappoint when I finally get it in my hands. I had ordered it directly from Warner Brothers with a discount code for a few months back and was gonna have it for $35 shipped, however seeing they canceled, I just placed a pre-order on Amazon, because it is only $53 there with no shipping or sales tax.

I dont know why, but i just forsee the game being a huge disappointment with the controls being really poo and unresponsive.

Like the last comic themed Batman game, Dark Tomorrow? That game had so much promise. I have faith based on the developers of this title... at least for now.

I never played Dark Tomorow, but all 3d Batman games have the tendancy to be shit. The last one i played was Vengence on the GC, and although i liked it, the controls still made it nigh on unplayable.

With the exception of "LEGO Batman", right?

 

[Sabre]

Obviously, all the "lego" games have no reason to be a good as they are.

Previews from eurogamer suggest this game could be a silent runner for game of the year 2009.

For those who have multiple consoles and were debating what system to get this on, the developers just announced that on launch PS3 Network will have a free download for a playable Joker in the "Challenge Maps".

 

[Obi Chris Kenobi]

I reckon 360 version will get something shit like Robin or Bane or Crockiller

 

[Mattdotcom]

They'll get Azrael. The AzBats armor will be DLC. Or maybe the cop dressed as Batman from the start of Grant Morrison's last run.

Don't you mean Killer Croc?

 

[Mattdotcom]

In England, you see, they call an elevator a lift and Killer Croc Crockiller

 

[vivisectvi]

They'll get Azrael.

One of the missions will be to find a flat with Robin so that they can find themselves in some unintentionally gay situations.

Played a demo of this yesterday. It just covered the fighting aspect of the game but it was a lot of fun.

 

[909]

Delayed until the end of summer. Fuck.

 

[Matt Young]

Yeah, I read that the other day. That's usually not a good sign. It means the game will probably suck like most other Batman games.

 

[ChrisMWaters]

Well, at least this will give me time to play "Ghostbusters" then.

 

[AndrewTS]

Poison Ivy is in, but doesn't appear to be voiced by Diane Pershing. Then again, the character design is so different that I'm fine with it, although it doesn't seem to be up to the same level as the rest of the cast thus far.

 

[ChrisMWaters]

Interesting they listed Ivy at 5'8"...since I thought she was suppossed to be a shorter woman.

Or at least he was in TAS.

 

[Sabre]

Wow her pussy has literally become a lady garden.

That's hardly the most dramatic difference between the two.

Also, TAS always exaggerates the males' sizes and dimensions.

 

[Sabre]

How can we forget batmans huge chest.

 

[Scroby]

Wow her pussy has literally become a lady garden.

Well you know if she just trimmed her bush from time to time that wouldn't have happen.

This game is coming out at the end of the month, for those who think they will be doing the blind buy on it, Amazon not only has it on sale for $52.99 but if you use the code 5OFFARKM you get the game for $47.99 and would also have Amazon's free shipping on orders over $25.

 

[Matt Young]

The demo comes out on Friday.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

I played the PS3 kiosk demo yesterday. The combat is a lot of fun, with ragdoll physics fully intact. I like being able to press triangle, and counter nearly any attack from an enemy, even if I'm in the middle of punching a thug in the mouth. I'm anxious to check out the full demo when it's available.

 

[Mattdotcom]

The concept of being Batman has to entail the ability to easily counter anything, so I'm glad that aspect is intact.

Thanks! I took full advantage of this offer.
