I really, really hope that we can access an Arkham Origins type skin as an unlock early on. Rocksteady keep giving Bats a Clint Howard face, and it doesn't quite work for me. Their games are great, but the Origins model was so good.
 
Harley looks weird in that screenshot, like she's suffering from Chucky Doll syndrome or something. I really liked her design in the CG trailer for the game, where she was beating on those two cops. It's a shame they couldn't adhere to that exact same appearance for her in-game model.

Really excited for this (first game I want a ps4 or xbone for) but I'm sorry, I am not feeling the aesthetics. Batman looks bad, way too much armour. Asylum/city's version was perfect, would have loved it if they had just updates/the model a bit.

doesn't scream next gen but I guess that's what UE3 will do to your PS4/XBO games.

Will still buy because I enjoy the series

The new Batsuit makes more sense in context. The old style wouldn't match with the look of the Batmobile imo.

Is this really a gameplay pic?
If so this is the best looking models (Bat and car) I've ever seen, i really can't believe an open world game can look like that on consoles.

Maybe it's from PC running on a very high end rig?
If it's no bulshot than this is one of the most impressive things ever.

Not sure if Rocksteady has a record of bullshots, but it does look too good to be in-game. Guess we'll see at E3 when they show gameplay..

I really find this hard to believe. It looks amazing even for high end PC, it just smokes everything I've seen from next gen, too good to be true.

I remember some impressions from that closed door demo (that ran poorly) that claimed this is the best looking game they've seen, that it really come very close to the CGI trailer and such, I though it was the usual press hyperbole but if those images are not bull than they aren't exaggerating.

Long Batman ears is cool. Got to have that wireless 802.11 Bluetooth link in his headset connected at a 99.9% up-time. How else would he pick-up convos, talk to Alfred, and scan crime scenes then upload the data to the bat computer?
 
The game looks absolutely nuts. Batman's model is probably the most detailed model ever in gaming. PS4 Arkham Knight Bundle, make it so and it's mine!

Never thought about this before, lol.

To people doubting the graphics...I dunno. Keep in mind aside we've only seen a handful of games that are new generation only. And all of them were launch games or pushed to come out within the window. This game has had several years of polish--it's kind of like how The Order just seems to look like a moving cutscene.

Yeah I'm beyond hyped for E3 mainly cuz of this. I've read that the level of detail they're putting in is insane (ex: one character's polygon count is higher than all of the Arkham Asylum environment combined, just the Batmobile itself couldn't render/run on a Xbox 360, and Batman's cotdamn pupils dilating and shit). Not to mention no loading times and being able to look inside/outside from some interiors/exteriors. Crazy..

The game's art style is getting ever closer to Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. Too many neons:/ Harley Quinn still not having that round face and bubbly look to her is still weird.

Infamous SS's city looks pretty comparable to what we're seeing here. The models don't look as good up close, but then again the PS4 is a fucking wimp compared to a high end PC. These could be touched up, but I wouldn't be surprised if these were legit PC screenshots. Always time for a downgrade before launch tho!

:D
 
Kissing goodbye to last gen was a stroke of genius, I really wish FC4 wasn't being anchored down.
The sky is the limit with this current gen, why clip your wings right out the gate?

I've read going in and out of interiors is seamless too. launch out of the batmobile, fly inside a building through a window, dole out justice, then jump right back out

Giant Bomb guys said the same about cutscenes, saying when you approach Commissioner Gordon on the gcpd roof, there's no cutaway or hitch when the talking/interacting starts.

I'm pretty sure those screenshots are bullshots. They're too clean to be console gameplay footage.

It already does and it's called Infamous Second Son, son!
 
I'm sure they are all PC shots, would be impressed if they were from the console. I hope this game has some good optimization like Dark Souls 2 did for PC.

Infamous SS is impressive but it doesn't approach that level, especially when it comes to environment detail.

I think these might actually be console in-game shots. They look kinda untouched (at least to me) and more believable I'd say.

Especially the ones with Arkham Knight himself

This game getting downgraded is one of my current gaming nightmares, especially with the talks of middling performance during the previews. I just need it to release and this not have happen.
