A new batman game, and holy moley does it looks GOOD!



Mark hamil as Joker? kevin konroy as batman? YES PLEASE!

[Illmatic]

i have hopes for this game, the trailers ive seen look great.

[FullmetalNinja25]

Not only does it look great (it uses the Unreal 3 engine) but we have Kevin Conroy as Batman and Mark Hamill as The Joker in it!

I've been keeping an eye on it via Kotaku, and I'm looking forward to it.

Very nice move to get the voice cast of the animated series on board.

[demonfox04]

thought I'd spice things up with a new trailer! apparently this is what combat will be like in the game.

Batman: Free Flow Combat

Also, not only will we be graced with the remarkable voice overs of Kevin Conroy and the beloved Mark Hamill, Paul Dini shall be writing the plot for this game. It definitely seems based more on what is considered the classic Batman, the detective who can kick butt as well. And of course, the Joker is back to full form. Just my opinion, but I did not like the Heath Ledger Joker in "The Dark Knight". Didn't like the movie at all, to tel the truth. But here it seems Mark Hamill brings back the crazy, fun-loving, Clown Prince of Crime we all know and love. And that laugh sends chills down my spine even to this day.

But yeah, that's the basic run down. Seems like a MGS inspired game in terms of play, but obviously with a lot more combat then MGS. Look at the video on stealth combat. They like to call it "Invisible Predator" but regardless of the name, it looks pretty cool.

Keep an eye out for it. hopefully it won't disappoint.

my guess is late August to early September

as for the demo, i played in a challenge map which focuses on combat so no stealth gameplay. You start off in a room facing a few of the Jokers henchmen, you fight them by punching and kicking them along with uisng the batarang, you can also stun them with his cape. the key to beating them is learning to use the counter button, whenever a blue indicator flashes over their heads, you press counter and he'll do just that, it really comes in handy since after every round more thugs are added to the mix and you only recover a bit of your health. so all in all I think the cobat is solid, and now I see what the stealth aspect of this game is like. btw, heres a video of the demo to get a better idea of what I was playing

[shadow_Uzumaki]

Where'd you get the demo?

Where'd you get the demo?

can't get it, I played it at Walmart, but ive also heard that some Gamestops & Best Buys have it, only for PS3 though.

[GoNeKr@zY]

It saddens me loads that the game has been delayed..... But hopefully they'll use this time to iron out any bugs that remain and make this game truely spectacular.
From what i've seen of the game its gonna be one helluva ride

[dl316bh]

I'm kind of glad it's delayed. It kind of tells me that these guys are serious about making a great game. Usually games are pushed out the door, bugs and all; requiring post-release patches to fix them up because nothing was delayed so it was all ironed out. In this day and age, it kind of gives me a sense they cared.

As a huge, huge fan of Batman, I'd expect nothing less than the best for my all time favorite character.

On top of that, this is good news for another game. The Ghostbusters game won't have to compete with Arkham Asylum for sales in the month of June. Both look fantastic and I want them both to sell well. Not having to compete with a big Batman game gives Ghostbusters a much better chance. So in an inadvertant way, I think the delay is going to work out for the best.

I dig the Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn designs. Can't wait to play as the joker either.



And Killer Croc looks kittening epic They made good use of the unreal engine

[shadow_Uzumaki]

@6thHokage:Can't help it but, it's spelled 'definitely' for that context, Defiantly is an all together different word.

Anyways, yes, Harley Quinn in a hot Nurse outfit and a scantily clad Ivy
Playing the Joker should be interesting, though I don't think we'd be able to use the Batmobile damn it XD
Anybody know if the Joker is exclusive for PS3? Or is it simply a free download for the PS3 and not the Xbox?

Gamestop is the worst site to check gaming release dates.

I trust Gamefaqs or Kotaku.

[shadow_Uzumaki]

There's also vgreleases.com
