huh.. figured there would've been a thread by now.. hehe
Anywho.. Collector's Edition goodies announced.
Quote:
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment today unveiled details and images for this fall's highly-anticipated Batman: Arkham City Collector's Edition. The package will be available in limited quantities for $99 beginning Oct. 18, 2011 in North America for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
The first game was pretty freaking awesome. Probably one of the best "superhero" genre games I've ever played to be honest. Really captured the Batman "feel". Arkham City is looking to be a blast.. can't wait.
Unfortunately, it seems to be one of the MANY AAA titles coming out towards the end-of-year holiday.. so yeah, while I'll definitely be getting the game, Skyrim will probably be hoarding most of my time.
The first Batman game was one my favorites of all time. Hopefully the sequel isn't a letdown.

Absolutely cannot wait for Arkham City, Asylum was brilliant and a surprise hit for everyone who wasn't really expecting anything special out of another Batman game. Also, you gotta love the Kevin Conroy + Mark Hamill combo.
I think one of them is an AU only skin as well... I hate exclusive stuff like this, bah!
me too. I don't mind pre-order bonuses, but I DO hate exclusive bonuses. I despise Gamestop for this reason, as they get many of said exclusives, that the english have nought access to. (Except Ireland, I believe)

Jeff says it's Batman from The Dark Knight Returns a Frank Miller comic where... "The Dark Knight Returns tells the story of a middle-aged Batman who comes out of retirement to fight crime, only to face opposition from the Gotham City police force and the United States government."
basically it's old fart Batman.

Yeah I gathered it was an attempt to make him look old, but it just looks weird. It's like they wanted to make him look fat and wrinkly, but basically all they did was scale up the mesh and overdo the normal map. As a result he looks even more body builder ridiculous than the base model.

The Batman Beyond version looks weird. For one, I always imagined BB to be more lean than muscular, and I always thought his costume had no expression or mouth - basically, I imagined him as a spiky, black-wearing Spider-man, which is pretty awesome. But I guess these are just mostly re-skins anyhow?
The old-man-batman version looks very retro, like the 1930s comics, cool stuff but the body looks bizarre. But then, the original Arkham Asylum Batman wasn't exactly a case study for average human body proportions.

Agreed. But - and I must warn you that I don't remember much of BB - how exactly does that very young Batman manages to have super-human strength and have that slender, almost feminine (it looked like a body-builder woman) silhouette? Doesn't ruin the costume if he actually looks he can kick ass.

I figure he was just designed to look cartoony. Really good idea but I won't be playing it much - except for the lulz.

On looking at Batman Beyond pictures again, it seems I was mistaken; the costume did have a nose/mouth. Guess the "black Spider-man" was just a fantasy I made up. I don't think he had 'superhuman' strength though, he was just more Bruce Lee than Ahnuld.
BB is Terry McIntyre, he's more or less a regular kid whom BW trains to become Batman. One of the key points here is that unlike in Bruce's generation, years of training and practice and now replaced by technology and networks. IIRC, the new batsuit worked like an exoskeleton that granted superior speed, strength and stealth.
I remember an episode where Terry gets his ass kicked because of this, and Bruce saves him with his mental skills + batsuit.
He's genetically a half clone of Bruce created in Project Batman Beyond when his biological father's reproductive genetic material was rewritten with samples of Bruces DNA collected by Amanda Waller (formally of Project Cadmus) to create a future Batman as Bruce was getting old, so in basically he is his son. See Justice League Unlimited episode Epilogue which raps up of the loose ends of Batman Beyond.

Although Terry is no slouch when it comes to fighting outside of his suit as he has been seen fighting the Jokerz and even his own suit at one point.

Oh yeah.. this game's creeping up on my top "to get" list.
Originally, although Arkham Asylum was good, and this looked pretty decent, this wasn't one of my priorities, with already buying ToR, Skyrim, Modern Warfare 3 and what not but now i've updated on everything...damn I need this game.
For anyone that might want to get into this franchise properly, Arkham Asylum is now £4.99 on Steam, or £10 along with LEGO Batman which is roughly $15

I was discussing Arkham City with a co-worker today and decided to pick up Arkham Asylum on his recommendation.
GOTY Edition is indeed on sale via Steam. $9.99 for those of us that shop with dollars.
Just installed the Catwoman DLC that came with my PS3 version. I still haven't played as the joker in the first game yet, but I am impatient. I rarely pay full bill for a new game, and bought the original cheap but enjoyed it too much
Looking forward to playing with some new and wonderful toys!

Reason: typo
Played it for myself, completed the campaign and majority of side missions.
This game is amazing, and an example of a game where it does justice on it's predecessor.
spoiler:
The ending is actually quite sad, if you look at it from the Joker's point of view too. His death was simple but sweet, and the look of his character made it seem like by the time he died, his body reflected the madness within. I loved how he etched a smile on his face as he died too.
It's a pity, but I hope it's not strictly true, because I'd love another Arkham game with the joker in it.
