I don't know what it is in comparison to the last two I played on PC, but everything just looks so much sharper and everything just feels snappier.
My hardware is exactly the same as it was those times as well - I only played through the last two since I got the pack at GMG. Unless somehow Windows 8.1 has a feature I wasn't aware of.
Only played the tutorial mission before stopping to head to bed, but this is an Arkham game all right.
anyone got an alternative to Tunnelbear / flyvpn ? FlyVPN keeps ending up being full, and Tunnelbear isn't installing the driver on my PC :s
WaltJay, it is your money and you can and will do whatever you want... but I'm not even joking, this shit really is damaging the industry and sending a terrible message.
Tunnelbear doesn't work on Steam now anyway. Try other servers on FlyVPN? Any Asian or Aussie one should work now.
?
It worked just fine for me!
Now the only thing I'm left wondering is whether I have to leave it on Japan for me to be able to play the game, or will reverting to America work...because I tried reverting and the game wanted to know none of it.
Arkham City in DX11 mode was a bit of a mess performance wise, especially at launch. Not sure how it is now, got to do a GOTY Steamworks playthrough now.

Is the framerate better than arkham city?
Huh, dunno what service I was thinking of instead of TunnelBear. I'm pretty sure it had an animal in though, so happy that it works for you guys!
HOLY SHIT THIS GAME IS AWESOME:
After 4 hours I gave this game a 8.5/10
Now it's a 9.5/10
The story is great. Much better than AA or AC. It's not complex but it's well executed
edit: A bit disappointing that after the great level at 56%...the story progression now is at 90 %. Yeah it was a long mission but...hmm...:/
TunnelBear stopped working with Steam yonks ago.Edit: Apparently it works again. Glad to see developers finally got that sorted. Use FlyVPN's free service and connect to the Japan server.
You don't need to switch to Offline Mode at all. Run VPN -> Launch game -> Quit VPN. Leaving Steam in Offline Mode is just oh-so-slightly easier because you don't need to worry about using a VPN again if you quit the game.

What's performance like? DX11 was horribly implemented in AC. Any improvement there or am I better off keeping it down and playing with the PhysX instead (the latter of which actually ran better than the DX11 stuff surprisingly last time around)?
Just to confirm the game seems well optimized on PC. I'm getting 35-45 FPS with everything maxed out including DX11 and PhysX on an aging 560Ti, which is insane to me. The smoke effects are also insanely awesome.

Turn off that TXAA, looks like junk. Use SGSSAA.

I have had no issues. No stuttering like City, better performance per effect, and so on and so forth. Definitely need the latest drivers though.
Oh, and for the people who think NVIDIA are the evil empire - everything we and WB Games Montreal implemented, with the exception of PhysX and TXAA, works on those other GPUs also.
So glad NVIDIA made their drivers GAME READY finally. Was tired of these driver optimised for listening to music.
Hype!!! How many hours in are you now? Have you done many sidequests or just mainline?
Anyone with the console version can confirm a 3D mode? It was in the main menu under options for AC.
I was playing some Riddlers Revenge last night trying to finish up some Nightwing and Robin stuff, and it left me hungry for some more open world batman action.
After hearing these good impressions so far I'm considering a preorder, but this game has been mentioned a lot in the bad plot twist thread. Without spoiling anything is the twist really that bad, does it ruin the game?
I wonder if my 7970 will be able to play this one in DX11? The one time I tried to launch AC in DX11 it hard locked to a black screen and I had to run task manager to get out of it.

I've done a couple of sidequests but there's still al lot to do.
I'm pretty sure the story takes just as long as Arkham City's story.
No 3D-mode, sorry.
Finished the very first mission before arriving at the bat cave. In other words, the short intro. Can't play more and wont be able to until Sunday. Liking what I've played so far. Bats does not fuck around and the game in general has a far more foreboding vibe to it. This is a Dark Knight that everybody is shit scared of.

Any word on the 360 version? Is it at least decently polished lol.

Has anyone hopped onto multiplayer yet? I'm curious to see if it's been fixed from the beta.
