Have they shown any in-depth or relatively raw footage of the weird multiplayer they're shoving into this thing?

redbackground posted:Because I'm a dumb dummy--how does this work with just buying the game off Steam? In-game you have the option to log in with a Warner Brothers ID, which is the system they use for Gotham Imposters, Infinite Crisis and a couple other things. Steam or not, doesn't matter.

Watched some videos of the beta, fairly disappointing stuff. I love asymmetric multiplayer and if stealth is involved it's basically my favorite kind of multiplayer in existence, so that's a real shame. I think a better option would have been 7v1 thugs vs Batman in more claustrophobic environs, or something of that nature.

Action Tortoise posted:I think multiplayer could win everyone over if you can troll other players the way you can troll computer enemies in Predator maps: Down one of the guys and have everyone inspect to find explosive gel detonating in their faces. There doesn't appear to be a gangster revive mechanic or Batman could just trap every downed guy with explosive boomerangs. A truly wasted opportunity.

seal it with a kiss posted:It's going to come out on Friday. The most recent TV spot had the worldwide launch on the 25th. Plus if it is a stinker, they're not going to release it on one platform early. No official confirmation, but some guy on NeoGAF says the review embargo is up on the 25th too. Amusingly it's been pushed back to the 29th in several formats in Europe/UK.

Retail and digital release parity is a dark and arcane mire of bullshit, but it is usually Tuesday US, Thursday or Friday UK/Europe.

Lurdiak posted:I'm just incredibly glad that the animated series skins are returning (even if animated robin looks a bit chunky), because that means I get to play as fun and visible versions of the characters. I love the Arkham games but the art direction is just a mess of pock-marks, dust and muted colors. I love playing City as the animated Batman because it's just completely incongruous with the rest of the game. "I can't hear you over your chin Master Wayne!"

MeatwadIsGod posted:Another reason why I think Silver Age would be fun for Rocksteady's next Batman game is it would give them a chance to try something new with their art direction. Three games with this very gritty style is likely more than enough. I don't know in terms of solid numbers, but I'm expecting it to get panned for the multiplayer which I will guiltily enjoy until it dies. I have a problem, help me.

raditts posted:A random punk says it in Batman '89, you might be thinking of that. It's so hard to keep track anymore. Maybe I'm Batman. Actually that makes me think that what I want to see Rocksteady do is make a Batman game exploring the idea that he's just as crazy as the villains. That he needs to go out at night and punch people just as much as they do.

Maybe he has the gene that allows him to do more substance abuse than normal people and keep on trucking and it's just all been LSD every day from '89.

DrNutt posted:19 gigabats. Though that's the GOTY version so depending on the Origins DLC that comes out it could easily top 20. I don't know how big vanilla AC was. My non-GOTY City install says 17 and for whatever reason I remember Harley is about 2, so 15, give or take a few MB.

Iacen posted:I'll wait to hear if after playing the game, but I did listen to the Joker's theme. I hadn't expected Carol of the Bell could be threatning. Say what. Well now I am interested in the soundtrack. Not that I am not under normal circumstances but few games have good enough soundtracks to stand alone. E: Alright that's pretty awesome. Carol of the Bells is one of my favorite pieces of music ever so it's always cool to hear good takes on it. Orv fucked around with this message at 11:21 on Oct 24, 2013 |

Psygnosis posted:Multiplayer is really interesting but there is only one game mode so far and 4 maps. I wonder if it will ever be expanded upon. Also there isn't anyway of communicating with your teammates is there? It seems really strange for a team based game not to have any way shape or form of coordinating. There is an icon in the lobby for what I assume is VOIP, but there is no VOIP.

They are different people and there used to be way more than the four or five still rolling around.

AllLuckySevens posted:Is anyone else having an issue with Arkham credits online? Nearly every time I finish a match, the credits I earn aren't saved. Or maybe I'm just not grasping how credit earning works? Online persistence is an utter crapshoot right now. In the specific case of credits I don't think the system is in place for crates/credits yet so nothing happens there.

So this happened. Couldn't do anything but melee and most people shifted in and out of invisibility. Was interesting. Robin is standing on the wall just to my right beating the poo poo out of a joker elite that is across the room.

 There's a thread on the official forums accusing the devs of being racist for hardcoding for a QWERTY keyboard.Apparently there's a potential fix for losing your MP progress, which is to only do Online through the SP menu, instead of launching it on its own.

Patch just went through that fixes progression loss for MP, fixes gaining Arkham coins and reduces the ridiculous lengths of round countdowns.

This is sort of off sort of on topic; A couple people, maybe just one, mentioned Under The Red Hood as a really good Batman movie, and it absolutely is. The question now is are there more treatments in that style of DC stuff? I keep hearing the Superman stuff from a couple years ago was excellent but... Superman.
