Actually, have you seen the gameplay videos? It looks drastically different from the Batman stuff.thenumberthirteen said:

Almost.
This seems like a good enough game to warrant a pre-order, batman, joker, scarecrow, I love ya PS3.DrunkWithPower said:

And yeah, it felt like Splinter Cell at parts, but since my last avatar was Nihlus with Sam Fisher's goggles...
Oh, by the way, I'm not too up on Batman lore, was that Killer Croc at the end?
No it wasn't Croc, I actually don't know what that was, it wasn't Bane either...orannis62 said:
Well, Paul Dini also gave us, "I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU TO DEATH!!!"cooperace27 said:
Might as well, confess to this one as well.scnj said:
You really should be more specific about which Robin we're talking about here. For instance, Dick Grayson is awesome because he was Nightwing, and now he is Batman after Bruces' death. While Jason Todd(2nd Robin) is a fucking douche who should have stayed dead.NoMoreSanity said:
I figured it wasn't him, I just wasn't sure. So, you think it's just an Elite Mook, or a random sub-boss, or...?BolognaBaloney said:
Yeah he seems to just be a sub-boss, I could be wrong, but he doesn't look like any villian in Batman.orannis62 said:
Played through the demo twice and loved it.
I didn't really believe the free-flow combat when i first heard about it and thught it wouldn't actually be interesting but now i love it. hit first enemy, point left stick at person you want to die, mash, rinse and repeat.
The stealth is also top notch, walking behind someone and killing them will always be satisfying, especially when you are almost superpowered and have a fucking grappling hook.
At first i also hated the camera controls, but once you get into a fight they work beautifully, in fact. once you try to do anything they work beautifully.

Played the X-box demo a few times now, and it seems to be living up to the hype. Fingers crossed the full game will be just as awesome.

IMHO all the Robins for all of time have been douches. Nightwing was all right but they had better fucking bring back Wayne because Grayson as Batman is just damn LAME. I don't care what they say, it is LAME. Wayne is the only real Batman. Personally I think that this period with Grayson as Batman is only temporary. Wayne is not really dead and is coming back.
Can't remember where I read/heared it for but supposedly that is one of the mutant clowns without face paint.BolognaBaloney said:
I played through the demo yesterday, I enjoyed it a lot. A game that actually makes you feel like the goddamn Batman has been a long time coming, but I think Arkham Asylum could be that game.
Maybe now the reoccuring nightmares I've had every night since playing the Batman & Robin game will end.
*shudder*

I like Dick, even though he shouldn't be Batman. I also like Tim, who should be Batman. Jason probably should have stayed dead, but what Loeb did with him in Hush, and his role in Battle for the Cowl are somewhat redeeming. Damien, on the other hand, is the most worthless character since the Dazzler.
Yeah, I found two trophies in the vents, anymore? Also, did you notice the green question mark on the window of the last room? You can only see it in detective mode.FastFoot92 said:
Apparently the pc version was delayed so nvidia could finish polishing their PhysX support which was supposed to allow things like realistically chipping a tiled wall.
That turned out to be a load of bullshit because in the demo potted plants and empty coffee mugs reflect batmarangs. They kill attacking sets of teeth and momentarily stun people, beyond which they only expose you to incoming fire. Graphics consist of Unreal Plastic in all it's texture popping glory. Controls are bad with the buttons strewn randomly across the keyboard.
This is either a very shitty port that's much better on the other platform or the console population is used to very low standards and/or are completely blinded by the fact that the game features batman.
