New trailer!

 

[Makoeyes987]

I seriously can't wait to get this game. Does Joker break their necks when he jumps on their shoulders?

And those x-ray googles are hilarious.

 

[Max Payne]

Yeah, I think he does. Glad I got my ps3

And the game has been officially announced for August 25.

 

[Makoeyes987]

August? I gotta go through almost the entire summer without this game? That makes me a sad panda.

 

[Interslicery]

any word on whether 360 is getting anything? or is this a "sold to the highest bidder" thing?

 

[Max Payne]

No idea the basis around the deal, but it's a PS3 only thing for now.

 

[Interslicery]

hm, I'm kinda betting on 360 getting him as dlc a few months after launch

 

[Ryushikaze]

Uh... wait, I saw a 360 logo on the poster at my local gamestop... Have they 'de-announced' that release?

Either way, it's a shame I don't have a PS3.
Addendum: Nevermind, misread what specifically was being talked about.

 

[Max Payne]

IGN has new footage from the beginning of the game.

It looks fucking awesome.

Joker gameplay, I love the way it's like he's using drunken kung fu

They really were big martial arts film fans.

 

[Makoeyes987]

If this game somehow pulls a MGS4 and disappoints you Dacon, I'll seriously cry. This game is looking so awesome and you're so excited. If that happens you'll seriously go apeshit like Sephiroth I bet.

 

[Max Payne]

If this game really turns out to be a huge disappointment I will lose all faith in mankind.

 

[Makoeyes987]

I can understand that sentiment. Me? I'll just lose all faith in video game adaptions of comic books, however

I played the demo at Gamestop, and I have to say that the gameplay is rather impressive. Sure there's only one attack button, but since hte AI makes each attack different from the rest, its just as rewarding as having a whole bunch of attack buttons. Its beautiful too, just BEAUTIFUL!

The fact that they're including easter eggs like the etchings of Amadeus Arkham have me really excited. There's some troubling bits in the article, but it still doesn't have me too worried.

[Tetsujin]

Looks awesome.

 

[Max Payne]

IGN has a new featurette on the villains and some new images with accompanying trailer.

[Max Payne]

People who preorder from gamestop get a special challenge map where they contend with the Scarecrow's minions

new viral sites. Some funny shit in there.

Depression on the rise in Gotham, GEE I WONDER WHY THAT IS

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Fucking awesome. I can't wait for this.

" The corruption in this city is out of control. I’m THIS close to moving to Metropolis."

Hahahahhahahaha

 

[Makoeyes987]

I'd move to Metropolis. It's actually a pretty cool city. And with Superman there, you're pretty much guaranteed not to die from fatal accidents or freak acts of nature!

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Ive seen nothing but good reviews at work about this, im off to participate in a live demo on the 14th for it in edinburgh so hopefully the game will live up to the hype.
Im more impressed at the art for Ivy, bane, scarecrow and harley though.
It looks epic!
