I'm guessing I'll pre-order this for $38. So I guess the PS3 version is the one to get then? (i only played the demo on pc)
First of all fuck you guys for not helping me out with the villains, cum gargling bitches.
I got the game, pretty damn awesome. I've played for 6 hours straight, oh and
I really can't wait to dig deeper into this game. I also wanted to point that being a huge Batman TSA fan has me loving this even more. Like a lost episode or another animated movie in the series.
Oh, and fuck you guys, if that wasn't clear enough.

the fucking scarecrow was really fucking awesome, the minute Batman found his parents I was surprised that they went there!

Everything looks like it's made of plastic, especially the characters. The art style is bearable in 2D (the character profile stuff) but it's ugly when you see it in-game. Just look at the Joker, how many teeth does he have? It's like they gave up and decided to make him look scary all the time. Why is Jim Gordon a body builder and what happened to his face?
This game would look better cel-shaded and it would age better too.
...But I do want to play it. The demo convinced me it wasn't a pile of shit like I thought it would be (the stealth and combat aspects seem to be there and some thought was put into them).

The solution to the console wars:
Buy it on PC where you can run it in true 1080p with 4x AA and Phsyx.

Can someone explain to me how the addition of 2XAA along with more solid framerate and less tearing is not a big deal?
I mean, I am sure framerate and tearing differences are minor but addition of AA is pretty major IMHO.
Also is the avatar cape/mask true? would be sweet.
The joker matters not for me. If it were an actual game extension or level, yep...that would sway. Or play the whole game as him, etc. But just someone with less cool moves and health for a couple of the same challenges seems just marginal.
Is this because I am biased toward the 360? Or is the addition of AA/less tearing, avatar stuff offset a marginal use of the joker?
I will admit freely that if I see the same game on each platform I always go 360. Conditioned response at this point, now I don't know if I am just self justifying to not have to cramp my hands on the controller of the PS3....

This is great, really enjoyable based on the short demo. I've ordered the 360 version after downloading the demo on that console tonight for the sake of comparison - I was all set for PS3 due to the Joker stuff, but it actually looks substantially better on the 360. Don't get me wrong, Rocksteady have done a good job and this isn't a Ghostbusters situation but the subtle differences all add up.
I wish the roles were reversed (controllers both feel natural to me and aren't an issue, even though the 360's is actually better in most ways - I prefer the PS3 face buttons though) as I really like playing games on the slightly quieter PS3 with its slicker interface. But I cannot ignore the superiority of the 360 iteration.

GOD DAMN I can't wait for this game. I just feel the need to tell everyone. You play as the fucking BATMAN! BATMAN! I've seriously played the demo at least 20 times.. I'm hoping the game is just as replayable for me. I also hope that it has some DLC in the future.
So I have had really not paid much attention to this game, until today when I read in Game Informer that it has an overall item-based progression like Metroid or Zelda.
That definitely piqued my interest. Anybody who's played it for a decent length of time, was that a well-done, satisfying aspect of the game?

It would be 'effin glorious.
PCS360 are gfx beast and a full blown, sleek, cel shaded Batman game would be damn sexy. Think comic book, a graphic novel style, maybe with dynamic panels sequences and all the overboard effects and tricks that could come with the fact that the game would practically be a 720p animated movie.

Ta daaaaa
So I just finished reading Hush... I have to say... what is up with all the hype behind this crappy story? It's just another Loeb story that gives him an excuse to throw in as many villains as possible for no good reason. The twist was obvious before the second chapter was over. It had very little depth and substance... instead spending too much time on cheesy and poorly written one-liners and uninteresting action. I was so hyped to read this and it was a pretty big letdown. :[ I guess I'll go re-read The Dark Knight Returns and The Killing Joke while I wait to get my hands on this faaaaaantastic game.

Finally got a chance to play the demo.
Pretty damn sweet!
The stealth action is hot and I'm the goddamn Batman doing it, so awesome.

Hush is pretty terrible outside of jim lees awesome art.taoofjord said:
And i guess the first half of it was good, i was massively disappointed in the second half though.
Alright question since the game is out now, what version is better graphically and technically 360 or PS3?

OMG! MANDATORY INSTALL! BOYCOTT!
No, seriously, thanks (and for the comparison). Not really sure which platform I'm getting it for. I prefer the 360 controller, but my PS3 has way more open HDD space, and while they're not a dealbreaker to me, sounds like the Joker maps are something worth having.

I just finished
Anyways, how far through the game am I?
locking up Harley Quinn and I'm a little upset that instead of fighting her, there's a cut scene of Batman taking her down.

Well, just got my Platinum. What a ride.
My GOTY thus far, easily.
I hope Rocksteady continues to support the game with DLC scenarios like (ending spoilers)
or something to that effect. That would be cool.

The impressions are exciting me quite a bit.
I just ordered the ps3 collector's edition from amazon for release date delivery. Can't wait
Avatar updated.

Since this is one of the few games I actually genuinely care about experiencing spoiler free (not even going to look at the achievements list like I usually will to get a sense of things I should try to do) I think this will be the last time I pop in to read this thread until I beat it. I am incredibly jealous of those of you who are already playing it and can not wait to join in the fun in a few days.

The difference between the ps3->360 looks much smaller than both consoles --> pc to me...
Most differences don't bother me, but then I tend to think of better graphics as quite large improvements (more geometry/detail, better textures, better lighting etc)

What if someone could find a way to hook up a gamepad to their PC? What if someone could hook up their PC to their TV? I'm just not sure but it seems like it would be possible for someone with the correct technical endowment.
