Meh.., just give me the game already cant wait to play this bad boy.

so do i, but it's looking more and more likely it's going to be the ps3 version i pick up. i cant say no to joker AND a digital comic, AND addition challenge rooms. the joker alone would be difficult enough.

sadly i'm gonna miss out on the achievments...but i'll live.

360 version for me... because it's the only option I have.

It's a shame that I'll be missing out on the Joker - well, playing as the Joker on release anyway - but I'm sure I'll cope.

Yeah i'll be going with the 360 version as well...as it stands now it's my preferred console for multiplatform games; it's quieter (really, my PS3 sounds like a freaking jumbo jet), no install crap unless i want to, i like the controller better, i like the 360 UI much better, achievements and so forth.

Looks to be a great game though, a bit hyped :)

you PS3 is louder then the 360? how is that even possible? my ps3 is quiter then even my Wii (although thats only the sound of the disc spining)

while i usually stick with the 360 for multiplat titles (you only need to look at my gamerscore to see that..lol) no amount of achievements can make me forget about the freaking joker.

looking forward to it tho, will probably rent it either way tho. just wish content wasnt exclusive...it's just stupid as hell.

Yes my PS3 so loud it's just silly. Or rather it's quiet for a while and then after maybe 20 minutes to an hour the fans seem to gain extra speed or something. It's really annoying actually. I also think i have a decently quiet 360, the only thing noisy about it is when it's reading a disc.

yeah, i heard that about some peoples PS3... mines deathy silent tho and stays that way.

my 360, sounds like a jet engine, it's louder then my PC...lol....on the plus side, it runs nice and cool, unlike my first 2 which could replace my heater in the winter.

And surprising as well. No offence to Rocksteady or Eidos, but Batman: Arkham Asylum isn't exactly the biggest title being released this year - although it will still get a decent level of attention. Usually it's the massive multiplatform titles which get exclusive content on a particular system, as a means of swaying gamers to a certain side. Just look at GTA4 or Fallout 3.

So it's surprising and, for me in particular, disappointing. But like I said, I'll manage.

Oh, and my 360 is bloody loud... it's extremely irritating. I have to turn the volume up extra loud on my TV most of the time to try and down out the loudness of my 360.

My 360 is quiet and i have had from day 1, my ps3 is quiet also but maybe thats because its never turned on? ;p

I find this... to be the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard on these forums lol. I've been trying to red ring my 360 for a fewmonths now since its video card fried and microsoft won't cover it under their warranty... so I leave it on as much as possible and its the loudest device ever and i have a PC with 7 fans blowing at full blast. I can't even hear my ps3... u must have a messed up ps3

Yea, I would like the PC demo as well. The PC version has been delayed though, they're putting it off to add support for PhysX and some more subtle upgrades. :/

I sorta doubt that's the case but it could be. I don't see PC sales cannibalizing console sales in most markets, outside of some select locations in Europe (Germany?). And at the end of the day, a sale is a sale. The fact that they're adding PhysX support among other things seems to indicate that they're not simply lying about their motives..... and why would they, anyway?

What I meant is releasing the PC version which is more prone to Piracy will kill some of the console sales. With no PC version around, those who want the game will have to go and buy the console version. This is what MOST if not ALL publishers are doing now. you hardly see simultaneous console/PC releases these days.

LOL... what? There's more simultaneous releases this late in the generation than there has been in a long time. EA and Activision are doing it, a lot.

When it's a big franchise YES, they can take the risk. EA+Activision DOES NOT EQUAL everyone btw. look at Capcom/ubisoft to name but a few.

Yea that has nothing to do with the additional development time needed to port to a platform as inherently different as the PC. /s

Come on... Ubisoft and Capcom? You're talking about console first titles, that are console first for a LOT of reasons. They were developed from the ground up for the consoles and it takes time and care to make them actually perform well on the PC. You have to retool interfaces, re-optimize code, etc. Even Ubisoft has done a bunch of simultaneous releases (Far Cry 2, for example) and even typically non-PC-first franchises like Assassin's Creed 2 are planned simultaneous releases.

And lastly, when did I say that EA and Activision = everyone? *YOU* said, "you hardly see a simultaneous console/PC releases these days," and that's increasingly not true this late in the generation. So.. pffft.

edit:I'm not saying that the (giant) month long delay of the PC version has nothing to do with your suggested motives.. I'm sorry I disagreed with you in the first place, but your argument went downhill after your initial comment. Your statement that we "hardly" see any simultaneous releases is wrong, increasingly wrong.

PS. PC demo out tomorrow. They must have delayed it to avoid piracy.

which is rather a disappointment over the PC version being delayed but you managed to turn it into another PC VS CONSOLE propaganda. Me saying that's the reason doesnt mean it's true, it IS a possibility.

PS. PC demo out tomorrow. They must have delayed it to avoid piracy.

This statement, in fact, backfires on you. If a Demo is ready then that pretty much entails the game is pretty much finished. Clearly, there is indeed a HIGH probability that the PC version was delayed because of the console versions especially considering the delay is less than a month proving it's all about initial console sales. Something they clearly want to cash in considering PC pricing is generally a lot lower.

I already said that you could be right, despite your other ridiculous false statements in this thread. I don't get worked up over PC discussion, just ignorance (including my own). Your comments about the lack of simultaneous planned releases on the PC is what I commented on after your original post. It went from wrong to wronger when you brought Ubisoft into it, and slammed my EA and Activision examples. Of course the worlds two biggest videogame publishers have the greatest number of examples of..... anything..... but that hardly means that THQ, Ubisoft, and several other publishers haven't and won't continue to release games on the PC day-and-date with their console brothers.

I misinterpretted the news regarding the PC games delay. I'm willing to accept that you could very well be correct. I was only correcting the broader statement that simultaneous releases hardly ever happen. They happen, about as frequently as one should expect, and increasingly frequently this late in the game.

lol... propaganda. You're silly.

I plated it.

The demo is short, but pretty cool. Combat is good and all but seemed very "automatic" sometimes.
Attacks and animations were fluid and the attacks had a very good hit detection and weight which is hard to get in such games.

Anyway, one thing is for sure, the very intro made me think of the old Batman animated which i LOVED when I was a kid. Always watched it around 6 o clock in the morning when I woke up until 1 hour later to go to school.
