Really?
Don't some games list the unlock time incorrectly? I swear I've seen that happen before. Really hope I can play at midnight.

lol no way I'm getting this done in time for launch, suppose I'll let it download at night and play FFXIV meanwhile.
It's an Unreal Engine 3 game, I'd be shocked if it doesn't perform well. I mean, I know they've added a bunch of stuff to the engine, but all the previous games ran amazingly well. The only performance issues were with the Nvidia Physx stuff and the DX11 specific features. If you ignore the PC-specific bells and whistles, I'm sure it'll massively outperform the PS4 version.
With any luck, the PC-specific stuff won't be broken on launch, but I'm just being realistically pessimistic.

Indeed it does. Just seeing the number of particles + all the light sources in the scene, clearly looks to be doing a lot rendering tech.

For those that ordered the Premium Edition from GMG: The codes I got was for the regular version, the season pass shows up as unpurchased in my library
EDIT:
Never mind. I'm a dumbass

The circle is complete.
The Season Pass app hasn't been added to the Premium Edition subs yet.

The circle is complete.
Only one I didn't get was Blackgate.

I'm like the world's biggest Arkham fan and I still didn't care for Blackgate. If people consider AO terrible then black gate is unplayable. Probably better off just watching the cinematics on youtube.
One is the Harley Quinn DLC.

They do but as of yet it is all we have to go on.

You made the right choice, it really just isn't good at all. I'm a huge Arkham fan and I couldn't even finish it. I watched the ending on Youtube and it didn't make me regret quitting early, either.

Yeah I was nervous because they hadn't confirmed my shipment until today. Still on-time for tomorrow.
I think we need OTs a little earlier than the day before since this thread has drifted far beyond a reviews thread. We need a place for GAFer impressions and general discussion.

Debating on whether I should get this on PS4 or Steam. It looks like I just barely meet the recommended requirements (aside from my video card only having 2GB of Memory instead of 3GB). What do you guys think?
Processor: Intel Core i7-3770, 3.4 GHz | AMD FX-8350, 4.0 GHz (I have an i7 920 overclocked to 3.9GHz)
Memory: 8 GB RAM (12 GB RAM)
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 - 3 GB Memory Recommended (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 - 2 GB)

Sooo uuhh.. where is the OT?
Got the code: Didn't work (was for the DLC).
Now they took it away from the page, lol.
They probably got the wrong code up, or something like that.
I still sent a ticket to support, just in case.

I was thinking the same but I've never used a VPN with Steam before.

I pre-ordered the game despite my gtx560 (1.3GB of VRAM).
There's always hope !
Don't know, don't think the guy who reserved it has said anything.
EDIT:
Wrong, it's being worked on going by his post history. Should be up soon.

This is my plan. I have a 670GTX and i5-3570k combo, which I was thinking about upgrading before I saw how well it handles Witcher 3 when locked at 1080p30. I think it's got another year or so left in it, easy.

One benefit of PS4 is that you can trade it in if you dont like it (so the importance of that being proportional to your liking of the games/batman)
Greenman has that crazy 40% off code deal though which I dont understand - that must be a significant loss per unit
I did. Many times actually. But each time was maybe years apart. I don't know which vpn to use. I don't remember.
The PS4 version seems to be solid as per Digital Foundry's preliminary analysis (30fps virtually all the time and with minimal stutter/pop-in) and I would assume the 3GB VRAM requirement means you'd have to sacrifice texture quality to a degree in order for your 2GB VRAM ceiling not to be an issue.

If you meet the recommended then you should definitely get PC. Chances are high you'll be able to get 60fps one way or another and even if you can't then you can lock it to 30 and have a better looking version than PS4. Also the game is much cheaper on PC at the moment.

Your avatar's cool did the artist do any other AK characters?
"|OT| Protect Gotham Racing" is pretty good. Its reference probably makes sense to more people here than a Breaking Bad reference.

No but they've got some cool art from other games: http://felitomkinson.deviantart.com/gallery/
and that OT name is awesome lol.

This game is just crazy visually...
It screams NEXT GEN (which is funny because i just finished Witcher 3 and thought that i will have to wait a bit for another stunner)
Here is a video captured through Share on PS4.

FlyVPN offers free servers in just about every region, but there are session limits to be mindful of, which means switching to Offline Mode after the game has unlocked as if you revert back to your usual IP mid-game, your in-game status will cease, which breaks Steamworks functionality (Steam wouldn't boot you out of the game mid-session, to be clear). Again, though, the game is currently set to unlock worldwide at 10am PT, so no region is getting it sooner than the rest unless WB has Valve set region-specific unlock times.

What's the cheapest legit place to get the season pass for this?

Welp. Wasn't going to get this but I'm getting it for free (thank you Nvidia). So... guess I'll check it out and maybe take some screenshots on PC

40% off? Do you have a link to this deal and I'm assuming it's a code that will activate on Steam?
Edit: I think I read it wrong, as you are referring to the PS4 and trade ins, so I'm now realizing you probably are talking about 40% off of a PS4 version, which I'm still interested in if you have the link.
Are you happy with the statue? Can't decide if it's worth getting, especially since it costs the equivalent of $150 USD in Singapore.
