I don't see many titles that "take advantage" of the 'advanced graphics' on Xbone or PS4. Pretty sure it's next gen exclusive. Saw mostly PS4 box art so even if it could be ported to last gen, it'd probably look and feel like barely 30FPS poo poo.

I don't see many titles that "take advantage" of the 'advanced graphics' on Xbone or PS4. It's being reported as next-gen exclusive on most of the sites that are running the story. If I was given the option I wouldn't upgrade, but if it's the only way I'm going to get the next Rocksteady Arkham installment, it's a solid incentive for me.

Aphrodite posted:Arkham Origins didn't come out on PS4. You correct me then. I know AC 4 looked better on my PC though. I had assumed Origins did come out for PS4 but didn't bother to do my research for that. My bad. And I dug this up on imdb, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3139086/reference Guess the working title was originally Assault on Arkham? EDIT: I'm a loving moron, this is apparently an animated short.

Tentatively nervous about batmobile mechanics. I don't want too may GTA chases in my Batman game. Although I do want to be able to jump straight out of the batmobile, grapple onto a roof, jump a thug, and then land back in the batmobile on the other side of the building.

Im hoping "playable Harley Quinn DLC" implies that Robin/Nightwing are in the main game as default.

Wonder if the playable Harley Quinn DLC is like Catwoman where you get her only if you buy the game new.

Playable Harley Quinn is pretty great. I wonder who she'll fight in her challenge maps, though. Maybe it'll be cops, like Joker's in Asylum. And is it just me, or did the zoom in on Batman's eyes make anyone else feel like they were looking at Michael Keaton in the Batsuit? Skoll posted:Ugh. Why are these trailers always so gorgeous?

I'm glad we'll get a Joker-free finale, though I'm sure they'll do something like have Batman be exposed to fear gas and relive killing him or (if they can convince Hamill) a cameo where a hallucination of Joker taunts Batman at some key moment.

I think a Joker hallucination is pretty much required by virtue of Scarecrow's inclusion.

OH NO MAN posted:PS4 looks way better, even in games like ACIV. The difference might not be quite as drastic as it would be in comparison to the PC version at max settings, but it's definitely there. The PS4 version was, if memory serves, basically identicle to the PC version running at 1080 with almost all (but not quite) the options turned on. It's not the best example though because it was a loving terrible PC port that had issues in heavily forested areas on my new GTX770 system.

Batman looks a lot leaner in the trailer than he did in the previous games. I know that's just CG footage, but I hope he looks like this in the actual game as well. Never was a huge fan of the giant musclehead look, even if it was consistent with the animated series and many of the comics.ShineDog posted:The PS4 version was, if memory serves, basically identicle to the PC version running at 1080 with almost all (but not quite) the options turned on.

That trailer looks great. Loved the last few Arkham games(haven't touched Origins for some reason though) so I'm looking forward to this. Not really interested in buying a ps4 for now though, so I hope my GTX 660ti can handle it on decent settings.

Scarecrow's opening lines really give me the chills. Hell, the entire trailer has a pretty good creepy vibe with Thomas Wayne's will being read in a hauntingly stern voice...all while Bruce is kind of disobeying the entire thing. Except he's not really. He's spending the money on "fast cars and outrageous clothes" and his lifestyle is pretty destructive. However, he's treating people like family, guarding them, and watching over them as well. ...Kind of makes me wonder if Bruce even paid ANY attention to the will or just took it 100% literally.

I just hope they don't pull some poo poo halfway through the game and make Scarecrow just a lackey for Joker. He was fun and all, but goddamn man just let Joker die already.

Just by the high-tech nature of the batsuit it's obvious it's after City. I like what I see and read so far, next stop: Batman beyond.

Since Harley is confirmed to play a major role in this installment, I wonder if they're going to do anything with the pregnancy subplot from City. Arkham Knight seems to take place a couple of years after the events of the last game, so i'm assuming there has been some significant developments to that end.

The pregnancy turned out to be a false positive test result based on information in Harley's Revenge. I'm not sure how they will justify Quinzel being in a remotely functional state in the new game, though- most of her character was wrapped up in being psychotically dependent on her abusive and dominant partner, the Joker. Maybe Scarecrow is going to have some sort of mind control thing going on? I'm not sure why all these villains would be working together. The trailer literally consists of representatives of the three factions that were killing each other in the previous game. I'm rooting for a return of sane Bane- only hopefully better written this time.

Penguin is a businessman, he would ally with whomever would bring him the biggest profit and give him the most power. Two Face can be unpredictable, but when the coin lands correctly he can make some rational choices. Harley, I dunno. Wasn't she suicidal in the AC DLC? This could be an act of desperation and she realizes that teaming up with the other crimelords is her best shot at killing Batman and 'avenging' Mistah J.

If there is one thing Arkham Asylum made really clear it was that Harley is extremely clever, and is commonly depicted as the only character (besides Batman) who elicited some kind of emotional response from the Joker. So I want to believe she was able to hang on to some shred of sanity after Bats slapped her around at the end of Arkham City. Excels fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Mar 4, 2014 |
