Excels posted:There are a bunch of comments on that article with people praising this as a "Next-gen exclusive" so it can be made "from the ground up" -- does PS4 really look that much better than pushing the limits of PS3? I don't see many titles that "take advantage" of the 'advanced graphics' on Xbone or PS4. AC4 is a bad example because the PS4/xbone/PC versions are clearly using a lot of assets made for the PS3 and 360.

I was pretty impresesd with AC4, for what it's worth. I didn't see it on last-gen systems, but if it looked anywhere near that good it would have certainly chugged at 15 fps. Those machines couldn't even handle AC3 properly.

AC4 on PS4 is kind of funny because the smoke effects from firing your cannons are so heavy you can't see after a couple of shots. In the previous gen versions it's just sad little wisps.

The trailer says that the Harley DLC won't be available on all platforms...but Game.co.uk's page (which you can see if you look on their mobile site) claims it'll be on PS4, One, and PC via the box art....so..what?

Mr. Flunchy posted:"I'm sad I'll never get to see the man you'll become". Its not particularly uncommon to re-write your will especially among the upper crust. Thomas probably had the will changed when Bruce was born to include him and wrote it under the expectation that that version would only be read if he died while Bruce was young.

Thomas was prepared. He had 9 wills, each for special occasions. Shot when Bruce is young Shot when Bruce is old Killed by wife to protect the undertaking etc.

If we're meant to take the CGI trailer as slyly showing off new features, does this mean we'll finally have environmental takedowns like Batman bashing the guy into the car? That's one of the additions I've been clamouring for, especially given how fun it made Sleeping Dogs.

I generally felt awful for some of the goons after environment takedowns in Sleeping Dogs, I can only assume Batman realized he wasn't being a big enough rear end in a top hat until he saw it happen there.

The funny part is that I could totally believe that happened in the comics. Or as people who buy a lot of them seem to refer to them as, 'books'.

I'd believe in Batman just locking himself up for 24 hours playing Sleeping Dogs and watching a bunch of perfect score videos from youtube at the same time to up his skills in beating up people. Or maybe just chilling while playing and going "This guy loving gets it. Man, I gotta do the Matches Malone gig again sometime"

Actually the idea of Batman in full cape and cowl, playing video games really aggressively is kind of hilarious to me. I wonder if superheroes do research on how to be badass and heroic, by playing games or reading comics from their own universe.

Cross posted from the PS4 thread: poo poo from Game Informer Batman Preview: NO MULTIPLAYER 3 Islands, 5 times the area of Gotham City Streets wider for the Batmobile, which is an integrated part of the game (like gliding or the grapple) Buildings generally taller, too Better hang time, longer glides Game set one year after Arkham City Joker's death has shifted the balance of power (he's still dead) Batman starts with his Arkham City suit but quickly gets into a more armor-plated, higher-ability suit Gotham has been evacuated and only criminals remain Kevin Conroy remains as Batman, all the other villains are still voices by their respective actors 50 dudes on screen at once Individual raindrops run down Batman's cape and suit Line launcher can be fired in mid-air to create a line between two buildings and instant perch point All quickfire gadgets can be used during flight, in fact Batman now uses weapons that he gets from counters, can beat thugs with a baseball bat until it breaks on their faces A new throw counter that counters and throws a thug into another thug Batman can summon the Batmobile and it drives to him remotely Batmobile shoots EMP missiles that immobilize targets without harming occupants Batman can eject from the Batmobile at full speed into a glide "Arkham Knight" is actually the name of Batman's main rival in the game Riddler challenges now include deadly races Oracle exists in-game and can be visited Batman can now chain stealth takedowns together, up to 3 times. So pop out of a grate and bam-bam-bam get three thugs No loading screens Sounds pretty good but it's Game Informer.

Arkham Knight is Batman's rival? He is so going to turn out to be the Joker somehow and he better act like Gary from Pokemon. I want to see a corner spraypanted as "Arkham Knight was here, Batman's a loser"

Not thrilled at all about mandatory vehicle segments. Going in with the expectation they're going to be the most dragging-down part of the game so here is hoping I'm wrong.

While a little tired of the series, at least this new one does sound a lot better then Origin, which I need to finish someday. Wondering if the "Arkham Knight" is Azrael, since his sidequest hints at something more.

I kinda wish that some sections of the city have criminals acting like regular citizens you just run over GTA style. Like a lady Penguin faction grunt and a dude Two Face faction goon just holding hands and bam you run them over on the batmobile. Obviously with rubber wheels that don't kill them and puts handcuffs on them.

I'm hoping for an "I'm Batman" button. I swear they said City would have have one where he's just say "I'm Batman." Imagine taking out 5 thugs with on terrified line survivor, sneaking behind him and, inches away, you let out a quiet but pants-shittingly frightful menacing whisper growl of "I'm Batman." Or just after decimating 20+ thugs in combat.

Might have missed it, are there going to be civilians now? It was kind of ridiculous they weren't around at all in Origins, and it shouldnt be that hard since Arkham City sorta did that with the few political prisoners around that you couldnt fight and just hung around huddled like homeless dudes but also giving funny reactions whenever batman just walks on by.

Doesn't surprise me since 360 and PS3 are also getting no version as well. That's alright, the PC version of the Arkham games are great, especially after they patched out GFWL on Aslyum and City.

Either that or the instant you KO one guy you can now just tap triangle again to leap at someone in range if their back is turned.

I recently saw an announcement about Watch Dogs where they grouped the PC, PS3, Wii U and 360 box covers together and then slapped some text at the bottom saying "Also coming for next-gen consoles!" I thought it was kind of funny.

I expect it is more like Far Cry and you can chain them together very quickly if the enemy is close enough, probably with upgrades to make it easier.
