Don't forget all that in 720p while in 3d.
720p? Not sure why not 1080 or even 1600, am I missing something?Kabuki Waq said:
I played Arkham Asylum at 5760x1080, but 3D was off.
Arkham City has DX11 support, so that's another bullet point. Might belong in the "superficial" camp, but it's a mighty nice addition all the same.
So the PC version of a new game is technically superior?
Edit: Is it just me (it could be because I'm not great) or is this guy pretty damn good? That top video is intense.
Wow. Hadn't seen these before. Ugh. Tomorrow is going to be so long. And what's worse, I played it for like 30 minutes yesterday via a friend's copy. That taste has made the wait even worse.Simo said:

Not trying to downplay Arkham City itself, because it looks like one of the best games of the year. But I also need it because I've been in such a game slump lately. Can't get into anything. Played a bit of GoW 3 and Rage via other people, but I need this game for myself. And I'm gonna ride it straight into UC3 and Skyrim. @_@

I am going to investigate this possibility. I got the PC version of AA a day early from Best Buy and, while I really do want to play the game on the PC, I don't want to wait an unspecified amount of time to do it, so I might just grab the PS3 version and tell myself that I'm supported Rocksteady by purchasing it on both platforms.stupid_dad said:

Don't quote me on this, but I got the impression the raw medals were easier to get on Arkham City's challenges, probably because of the crazy challenge mode modifiers/campaign stuff/leaderboards.
Anyway, a 80-hit combo is its own reward.
/edit Oh yes, Australia has broken street date.

This guy on HardForum has been selling quite a few keys for $25:Crunched said:

I sent him payment. He said he's getting more codes tomorrow and will send me one then. He says he has quite a few keys sold at the moment (and he seems to have good feedback so far). I can report back and let you know how it turns out.
I thought it was cool how it ramped up and was more fun each timeTheExodu5 said:
Titan you run away from -> Titan you defeat -> Titan you use to kill other Titan -> Titan you use to plow through a room of enemies and get a huge multiplier.
The only one that stank was that last one. Took me 10 tries on normal with all armor upgrades.
(Joker and Poison Ivy were pretty weak too.)MasterShotgun

Just finished AA on hard, Riddler challenges and all. It was my third playthrough, so it wasn't all that bad. The second
fight was a bitch, but it wasn't anything that made me rage. I used to have most of the challenge rooms completed, but GFWL corrupted my save file. I'll probably tackle them tomorrow to pass the time, and then I'll be hitting up a midnight release for AC. I can't fucking wait.

I'm picking up the Arkham City/Arkham Asylum bundle at Walmart tomorrow. So excited. I haven't played an open-world superhero game in a long time. (Oh, Spider-Man 2. I miss you.)

Thanks for the notification on this awesome deal. I went ahead and email him. AC for $25 is an awesome deal in my book. Hopefully, this key will also include the Catwoman pass...Or, I'll cry.

The 3d in AC is pretty good. Frame rate stays stable and effect is subtle, not too disorienting in battles even with intensity maxed.

Question regarding something that might be related to Catwoman stuff, and spoilers.
Near the GCPD building is a building out on the water where vines and such are, and I know Poison Ivy is in there. However, I can't access the area through any means with Batman it seems, though there is a hatch on the underside and a Catwoman Riddler Trophy. Is that area only accessible with Catwoman? If so, lame.

Playing the review copy borrowed from work, so the code is already used up. Told not to be connected to Xbox Live while playing, so can't do the purchase Catwoman content option, either. I'll just wait until my personal copy arrives with the code. Are there any other major villains reserved only for Catwoman?

Ah ok. Anyway, the game is great. Was Working on side mission stuff.

I was just playing the Scarecrow levels from AA with everything maxed and Physx (except it being 720p) in 3d on my plasma. Fucking amazing seeing all the Physx stuff in 3D on a 50" screen.
The gliding is also amazing in 3D, I can only imagine how great it will be in AC...
