Could this be the best looking UE3 game since, well the tech demo 'Samaritan'?
Looks like Rocksteady are pushing it to new limits.

I'm gonna stop home during lunch and start all the installs so when I get home from work I can just sit down and play. This day will feel so long.
Another tip that worked on the PS3 was doing an internet connection test under settings > network.
The gifs in the OP are so hype. It's making it hard for me to wait for the GotY edition that they'll probably release around January. I guess it's a good thing that I am broke.

FWIW, you might want to try setting your DNS to Google's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). That's not a surefire fix but it's worth trying.Sony never disappoints ...
Premium service.
I had that happen to me with my Battlefield 3 preorder (mailed). I went there in person with my receipt and everything and told them that my damn shotgun was missing. The guy at the desk had a stack of cards with shotgun codes and just handed it to me before I could show him my receipt. If anyone else wants, they could go there without a receipt and give it a try.
Might work for you, won't work for everyone. This will just make you connect to a different CDN server. Whether it's better depends on your location and ISP.
I think I'm about 12-15 hours in and I'm only at like 25% completion or something. It's easy to spend a lot of time just goofing around being Batman.
I love it in almost all situations. Especially the open world, where it's phenomenal.
The exception is the Riddler challenges, which don't seem great. They seem neither hard nor easy, just janky. Like the first
race thing

Looks super blurry.

What? This is odd. I'm playing it, and it doesn't look blurry to me. Far off LODs do, sure, but certainly no more or less than the videos I've seen of the PS4. Could be a lower resolution, but I'm playing it on a 37 inch TV, and I can't tell at all.
Xbox One version looks great, has a stable framerate, seems excellent. So.
It's been taking me a while to warm up to this game for some reason, but after some big events fairly early on, I'm definitely on board now.
So far the Batmobile combat itself doesn't bother me. It's more the "I've gotta get the Batmobile to this location to progress!" that does. Just seems a bit forced and not as flowing as the previous games because of it in some areas.
But I dig the Batmobile as just another tool a whole lot. Really makes you feel even more like Batman. The controls are a bit awkward, but I'm getting used to them.

Based off streams, gamersyde and gaf impressions it looks great and plays great. Apparently 900p but looks just like PS4 version.
Doesn't look blurry at all.

Could be the FXAA plus all the post processing in the game because some people have said the ps4 ver looks blurry when it's native 1080p.
edit: oh xb1 could be 900p? first time i have read it.
edit 2: B3D says it's confirmed 900p, well there it is.jpg

Man, fuck. PC version is horrible.
Should have gone with the PS4 version. God dammit. Day off wasted.

55 inch TV here and I think it looks blurrier than the usual 900p game.
It's smooth though.
Edit: Confirmed 900p? That explains it.

If you're in mid-air, you're doing it wrong. Unless you're performing a straight jump of course, in which case you should just let the Batmobile do its thing and land.
Use verrry slight steering while driving along walls, and apply your afterburner to loop across tunnel ceilings without falling
Oh, yes, I'm only referring to mid-air controls when doing the pre-set jumps that we have to do in the Riddler challenges.
Even if I've used the afterburner to ensure I make it to the other side, the Batmobile always seems to make a nose-dive movement, making it super likely I'll hit the other side's edge with my hood and tumble down. It's really annoying.
I'm fully up on my wall-driving, thank you.
You mean the bits where there's a blue-green square and you have to drive the Batmobile on to it?
Just go on foot, zipping across the skyline, then when you're above the 'Batmobile point', hold RT to nose dive at it, and tap the 'Call Batmobile button'. It'll automatically drive to that point and Bats will get in it and the mission will continue.
In most cases I've found, that Batmobile actually is optional. It's just that there's usually drones around when the game wants you to use it, and the Batmobile can't defend itself.

Wow, Harley is a bad ass. Really enjoying the side story DLC.
Edit: wait, apparently I'm 80% done with it. What a tease!

I swear to god, I've had so many moments where I'm in Arkham City mode, gliding and grappling my way across rooftops to get to my next location, then suddenly realising 'why am I doing this when I've got a fucking Batmobile and can get there in thirty seconds instead of a minute?'

Soo uuh.. The harley dlc has cutscenes and stuff? Not just challenge rooms linked together?
Got it working!

Haven't touched the .ini yet, it's locked at 30. Everything as high as it will go at 1080 and it's not dipping. I'll mess around with the fps lock in a bit, but for now it's running ok.
Looks ok, some poor textures, but it's running...

Do we know if it's safe to play the Red Hood and Harley Quinn DLC before the main game?

Harley was basically just linked challenge rooms with a story. Wish it were longer because playing as her is fun.

So is it true that you cant play the game before you download the 3 gig patch?

Man these PSN speeds are terrible. Even in stand-by mode it actually managed to download less than 1GB in an hour. (For reference, I downloaded the Gears Ultimate beta on Xbox earlier this week, which took 10 minutes for 6GB. Slowly picking up the pace atm.
It's great they sent me the digital download key as an apology for the LE delay, but they really should've gone out before release rather than mid-day on the actual release date... (It's more of an issue on Sony's front though with the general speeds, I must admit.)

The combat in this game is starting to bore me to tears. Good that the franchise is ending, it's about time.
Thought it was funny, no need to be an ass about it.
Still loving the combat myself, but I skipped Origins so maybe that helps.
And I wouldn't count on this being the end of the franchise...

I absolutely loved it in Asylum, but got bored with it about halfway through city. But yeah, Origins did not exactly help.
You're right, it might continue.

I expected everything to feel more fresh than it does. Even the UI is the same as City.
I've found that when it slows down, if I pause the DL for a few seconds and restart eventually it'll speed up quite considerably.
