Just a reminder for those who ordered with Amazon.

Make sure you receive the Arkham City comic. Not sure if its for digital download, or an actual physical copy.

Just installed on PS3. Opening logo cinematic has no sound so I'm like "wut?".

Then I get a prompt that says game data is corrupt, you need to delete the data to play. Or something like that, and PS3 resets. How do I delete it? Guess I need to reinstall?

edit: tried it again before touching the data and I got into the game but with no sound, this is worrying.

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.
there's a game data folder on the XMB, delete that and reinstall I guess.

So, my Robin Code from best buy isn't working. Did they neglect to tell us that the codes wouldn't work until that content is actually released to the public? Basically, is this a free coupon rather than early access?

On the gothamcityimpostors.com website.

for some reason it wont let me log in or sign up right now, and if you read the back of the voucher it says "redeem this code for a "chance" to play the beta" but apparently you get some arkham city themed stuff.

Don't forget about Batman: Vengeance. Came out on PS3, Gamecube, Xbox & PC. I really liked that game.

might be an Xbox thing. Entered my code twice correctly and no go. Saw some people on another board having the same issues on Xbox.

If anyone is interested, I'd like to trade my Robin free order stuff from Best Buy for a Dark Knight Returns skin. Let me know via PM. Thanks!

Could be, i just redeemed by Catwoman code as well and both are downloaded/installed.

Which is weird cause usually ps3 doesn't let you do this till later in the day.

can anyone tell me if the 360 version also has very blurry textures? the game looks very good but if you stand in front of a wall or near anything else the textures look really ugly.

well...it's more noticeable outside a building (in the city)

Are you going to turn up texture quality?

Could be a infamous unreal texture loading problem?

Woah AR-Training is frustrating...you really need more luck than skill...

Fucking this. I did the first set of 4 to unlock the grapple upgrade (which is great BTW), then tried to start on the second set. I must have tried the one where you have to glide down the Joker tunnel like 50 times, and couldn't do it. Absolutely rage inducing.

Game is outstanding though. Combat is so much better this time around, and I loved it in AA. I absolutely love the double and triple counter animations.

56% says my statistics. 1 more AR training to do that is really pissing me off.

On the title screen, after Batman jumps off the gargoyle, does it look like he's smiling to anyone else?

UPS will probably take until 6-7 like they do whenever I'm waiting for something as opposed to 1-2 whenever they drop off something insubstantial.

Oh well.

Weirdly enough I must have worked on that same AR mission for an hour straight, but for some reason didn't get mad while doing it. Maybe I was in some sort of trance, thinking I was making progress, when in reality I was doing the same thing over and over. Does that make me insane?

P.S
I did finally get it.

FedEx just dropped off my CE via Amazon Prime.

First impressions out of the box:

1) My Batman's statue's forehead has a spot of black rubbed off due to rubbing against the front of the packaging :|

2) I don't like how the game disc is in the back of the art book. Talk about awkward on the shelf...

Euro version. Also, HOLY SHIT at the 2 page manual. Not even control lay out!

Yeah, I'd been wondering this myself. I know it really doesn't make much difference, as you'll probably need a magnifying glass to even notice discrepancies between console versions. The only thing I see, from Lens of Truth's comparison, is a few sharper 360 textures and possibly better lighting on PS3.

I don't see much of a difference at all....you 're better off flipping a coin if you're torn b/t 360 and PS3 versions.

360 is clearly better.

Look below and you'll see it isn't that cut and dried.

You're right about the stop sign, but the building textures in the 360 shot are much blurrier for some reason. Take a look at the cement lines in the pillars and you can see that they are quite different. Very strange.

I'd be in the dick
Only played for about an hour or so but damn, what an opening.
Bruce getting arrested and going around in prison was really unexpected and that whole section was surprisingly brutal for a T rates game.
I can't wait to get back to this after my job interview later.

It's really not that big of a deal. L.A. Noire was a bad port. FF13 was horrific. This is nigh-on identical, with a few insignificant exceptions.

No missing geometry, resolution appears identical. Good port, overall.

Given the website that took these screens it's quite possible the textures were still streaming.
