There was a twenty minute preview on Gamespot a few weeks back, they pretty much said that up until now all Batman has gone up against are gangsters and street thugs. This game will be the first time he faces 'Masks' and super villains.

I'm just hoping that Joker isn't going to dominate the plot again. I thought that Arkham City was going to be about Hugo Strange and the mysteries of the prison, but that got relegated to less than a B-plot once Joker entered the plot (that being five minutes in).

Not a very interesting boss, but judging from the cutscene after the fight it seems to be pretty drat early in the game.

Yup. Sounds like a repeat of Arkham City, in terms of how big his involvement is.

No, preloading is just downloading the game in an encrypted and unplayable form. It allows people to (in theory) play the game the second it comes out and decrypts, without having to wait for it to download on release day.

Console version is made weeks if not a month in advance, needs to be shipped all over the place. You just need the know the right stores that are willing to break the street date. There's one I go to occasionally, but they overcharge and don't give you a receipt (so there's no paper trail).

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:Is that first Electrocutioner fight really bugged? The way that played out, I thought that was totally intentional (Guy's taunting you, and you just clock him, knocking him out. The girl sends in a horde of thugs to stop you instead.). How is it supposed to go? It's not bugged, it's a joke fight.

So, Deadshot: how do you get his sidequest to trigger? I've seen people saying that you get told about it after leaving the Steel Mill after beating Copperhead, but all that happened was Batman started tracking Electrocutioner. Nothing about Deadshot.

FAT WORM OF ERROR posted:Whats the deal with this power quick fire gadget? I unlocked it but it didn't explain what it was as far as I could tell! It just means that quick fire gadgets get a damage boost when you're in that 'rage' mode (when the screen goes slightly red and distorted and Batman starts moving super fast).

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:It looks as good as Arkham City, with no noticeably major enhancements over that. The Physx stuff is a bit better, with snow simulation. However, despite being technically equal to AC, I'd say that AO is a less impressive graphical showpiece, due to the heavy use of pre-rendered cutscenes. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the previous games had very little pre-rendered CG stuff, but AO is chock full of it. Every single major cutscene is CG, including most of the cool non-controlled fight scenes. I seem to remember that stuff being in-engine previous. The CG looks nice, but I'm really not impressed by CG at all anymore and I think it would have been cooler to have that stuff just be in-engine. Nope, just as much of both Asylum and City was pre-rendered. It's more noticeable in Origins because they up the quality of the lighting in the FMVs.

I've got Mad Hatter, Shiva, Deadshot, Black Mask, Anarky, Penguin, and of course, Riddler so who am I missing and how do I find them? You get one close to the end of the game and one after completing the story.

I think it needs to be a 'special' takedown, not a silent one. Try throwing one at a floor grate and hide in there, then do a grate takedown.

GuyCastle posted:3) This is the one that's driving me bonkers. In Burnley, East of the comms tower on the edge of the map, there's a stairway along the waterline leading up to a door. It's also the same location where you need to charge up a generator to unlock a data pack. Now, that door is locked, and I'm wondering if it's a result from what I described in question 1) or if it's somehow a DLC related thing no one is supposed to be able to open? That's related to an unmarked side quest. Have you seen dedication plaques to Cyrus Pinknee around the city? Scan one of those in Detective Mode.

Oh, goodie. I've been hit by the infinite falling bug in My Alibi, in the DLC. Now whenever I load my save I'm just falling forever in a black void. I guess I'll get back to this one day, I really don't feel like re-starting the DLC after playing for that long.

Now if only we could get some gameplay footage. .. Apparently the live demo they showed to the press at GDC had a terrible framerate and was kinda crashy. Probably not in a good enough condition to show to the general public.

Was that Firefly in the trailer? I'm surprised they're using anything from Origins, for some reason I thought Rocksteady had some animosity towards that game. Although I guess that might be something that's been exaggerated by the internet over time.

The only thing on that list that matters is the Red Hood pack and the skins (and I don't think the skins even matter myself). Everything else is just random store credit, a loving steel book, some lovely PS4 theme and unlocking some abilities early (and gently caress that noise).
