Goddamn, where did you hear this? I've tried asking Sony EU when the pre-load starts but, as per-usual, I got zero response. Was hoping to be playing the game by midnight :/

I'm in the UK mine has not started either, you would think they would start the pre load earlier as the game size is huge and it's going to take a while to download .
Last time I pre order anything from Psn too.
Now I'm just going to get a boxed copy and trade it in once the download from psn is done.

I read this on a french forum (I don't know if it's allowed to link to it but it's easy to find, it's the biggest french gaming website) so it might be wrong but so far it looks like nobody in France can download it on PS4. I just checked the e-mail sent by Sony and it says the pre-order will be available tonight at 11:00pm.
Games unlock coincident with the day's store update by default. WB may decide to change that at the eleventh hour, so there's still hope.

Some guy on the EU Sony forum phoned up customer support and was told;
"Some games just don't pre-load before release"
What a crock of shit, fucking SCEE are an embarrassment. Last game I ever pre-order with them.

An update to something from earlier, not only must you complete all sidequests, you must solve all 243 riddles
to get the true ending and credits. Some sidequests are hard, tedious or extremely repetitive.
This is going to suck.
only way to unlock The Riddler boss battle
This is going to suck.
Unless you're achievement hunting, why do it? Wait for it to show up on youtube, no need to turn it into work.

I checked again , I was wrong you actually only need to hunt down 5 of Gotham's most wanted to unlock it.
It'll be a sad Monday if an inferior subtitle pun is attached to the OT. This really is the only choice.
I've never been hyped at launch for a Batman title before. Played the two previous RS games after launch, now I'm sitting watching my pre-load tick down and looking for the OT instead of working like I should be.
I have TW3 to finish (which I'm still greatly enjoying) and a few other games in various states of completion, but everything feels on pause for this now.
Gaming hype is the worst drug.

Had the PS4 game since Saturday, pretty awesome! Although playing the previous 2 on PC was a bit of a buzz killer, I'm used to the series being 1080p now and the improved visuals are soured somewhat by 30fps, but still great to play. A bit rough around the edges, had a few bugs and the pre order codes don't work but I'll contact WB in a couple of days regarding that. I'm hoping the codes downloads will be magically "switched on" tomorrow.

I said I was going to hold off, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want more Batman.
Ordered again yesterday from Amazon.

Currently 10am PST but hopefully it changes. I've seen that happen previously so I'm still holding hope.
What is the available season pass content at the moment?
BTW to anyone playing the game what difficulty is recommended? I've finished the previous games on hard and it was great, but this time because of the Batmobile sections I'm hesitant to do so if they are really that bad, I don't want to prolong them with unnecessary challenge.
this and only this!

DLC codes don't work until day of the release on PS4.
Just the Flashpoint skin on top of the Harley Quinn, Scarecrow (PS4) and other skins (PS4). Although it actually appears the Flashpoint skin is broken to DL at the moment.

Holy shit, he just said the PS4 version is like a "slideshow" and is "unplayable". That is a huge lie. The PS4 version is one of the best performing games I've played so far this gen. The performance is rock solid.
Who the hell is that guy?
A trendsetter, according to his Twitter profile.
My morbid curiosity got the better of me, don't make the same mistake.
Lmao at calling the PS4 a "slideshow" otherwise game looks good.

Really hoping they update that unlock time. Midnight of the 23rd is just over four hours away here in Western Australia (or pretty much now in New Zealand), yet the countdown says one day and six hours for me.
I wouldn't pay too much attention to his comments. He has videos titled: "Xbox One Vs PS4 - The Xbox One will be more powerful with DirectX 12 and the cloud" and many other similar things.
Did WB push the unlock that early for Shadow of Mordor?

Just got my GMG key for Batman. Preloading now, I'm ready.
Thanks!
He is a mega fanboy don't sweat.
Do you play the game on hard? if so how are the Batmobile segments on this difficulty? tolerable or extra annoying?

Don't watch this for two reasons, the guy commentating over the video is unbearably ignorant, and it is a huge, HUGE, spoiler that I wish I was warned about before I put the damn thing on.

IF the game does unlock at midnight, like you all are saying Shadows of Mordor did... Will it be midnight EST or PST?
The PC version just has the default unlock time of 10am PT at this stage, assuming that's what you're referring to. WB may have this changed or it may not.

Yeah I'm playing on hard difficulty. You have to be fast with the batmobile because it's pretty weak to start off with and sometimes you get really overwhelmed. I'm finding them easy, though. And unlike most people I'm enjoying using it.
Some more shots from the PS4 version:
Are we sure this game is 1080p on PS4? It's probably due to the blur-filter AA and abuse of CA, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was 900p.
