This is pissing me off. Never has a game been this "locked down" before. There is no PC footage and no Gameworks footage. No PC reviews.. ziltch!

Probably not happening. It comes out tomorrow night/Tuesday morning, it should have been up by now if it was happening.

Fuck season passes period
I am extremely worried about the pc port.

Why? It's been almost four years and City really wasn't that big compared to most open world games.
That would be a pretty big dick move to delay the PC version the day before release.
Dem less compressed, higher resolution textures and audio.
Makes the base game the same price as the VIP deal, too bad it doesn't stack, heh. Still gonna hold off on the season pass until it hits at least $20 since so much of the content from it isn't going to be out until months later anyway.
It's more up to developers/publishers than Sony.
How do you sleep at night? Anyway, yeah that's why I'll probably end up buying it, $24 on GMG is close and I might still go for it though I think I'm okay with waiting to see if it drops to $15-$20 at some point in the coming months since the the content is going to be coming out over the course of six months anyway.
I would find it incredibly ridiculous if a game that's running on UE3 ends up having significant performance issues. Bugs and glitches though, maybe... Would be depend on how good a QA job was done on the PC side, the PS4 version seems to have been pretty solid on the devkit running review copies.

Anybody know if the pre order bonuses for consoles are in the box or on the receipts at gamestop or other retailers?
I want the pre order dlc but refuse to buy the game thrice for it all...

So in trying to find out more info I saw what I hope isn't a major spoiler on the Steam forums. I won't even spoiler tag it here. Just an FYI STAY OFF THE STEAM FORUMS FOR THIS GAME. If this ends up being true I am going to be so pissed. Until I see a preload live on Steam I am standing by what I predicted: Game is being delayed on PC.

No PC preload yet pretty much guarantees I won't be able to play the game on launch or Wednesday :/. Digital age sucks when your connection is terrible.
I'm still amazed Rocksteady went from midtier games to the forefront with gameplay and graphics within a span of like 10 years. I think WBE made a deal with Satan and now he's collecting with $40 season passes.

There's no confirmation that you will or won't, but it looks likely that we will be getting them. There was a method posted earlier about checking which packaged ID your license is, and everyone's ID was matching the same package that is purchased direct from the steam store.
So GAF I am debating on what to do if the PC version actually does get released Tuesday. I preordered a LE PS4 copy months ago before I had enough money to upgrade my PC, and bought an Nvidia key off of a GAF member a few months back. I kept the PS4 copy preordered because I believed (and still do) the PC version will be delayed at the last second and also I wanted to keep the stuff that came with the LE. I am debating on if I should play the PS4 version regardless due to the exclusive content then play on PC to see the differences graphically and performance wise?
What would you guys do?

PS4 now because regardless of whether or not it's delayed on PC (I don't think it will be), you'll be installing it all launch day since there's no preload, just enjoy the PS4 version now at launch.

Just play the PC version when it comes out Tuesday.

Ended up snagging the premium edition (game + season pass) for around $35 from G2Play, received the code as well. Now to wait.
Also, word of warning: avoid the Steam community forum for the game, it's a hellhole riddled with spoilers.

Aside from this thread and neogaf I've pretty much stopped going to every mass media website.

Got this thread as a permanent tab on my browsers. Oh and I think I'll be off other websites too. Do not search for "Arkham Knight" or "#ArkhamKnight" on Twitter either. Good luck folks. This is going to be a tough day and a half.
Theres no question you should keep the PC version. You can get a better looking and better performing version of the game. The Scarecrow batmobile missions are only a timed exclusive and you can take $23 of the dollars you saved to get the season pass that comes will all the dlc plus the future stuff.
And there is no way the Pc game is about to be delayed less than two days from launch.
Well, let me tell you of a little UE3 game called mortal kombat X.........

Two things: the Scarecrow missions have nothing to do with the Batmobile, and any Playstation exclusive content from past Arkham games hasn't come to other consoles, except for the Joker from Asylum (and that was only to PC).
The PS4 exclusive content was already confirmed to only be a timed exclusive and it will come to other platforms later.

Oh ok, I didn't hear about that.
thanks just got this, what other games could this work for?
Link or
Link is historical facts. Both Asylum and City were delayed by a month for PC.
But never 2 days prior to release.
You do realize retail copies of the PC version are already in the wild, right?

Mulling over where to get the Season pass or not. Content wise seems nice but even with GCU, I might be paying a hefty price for both the game and pass.
Decisions, Decisions.

You do know both those delays were announced 3-4 weeks before the console releases right?

It would be quite strange for them to wait this long to announce a delay; and it's quite rare for big releases to do this nowadays.
There are?
Yeah.
It's how folks found out Iron Galaxy have either assissted with the PC version, or did the PC port themselves, because their logo appears on the back of PC retail copies but not console copies.

No problem! I honestly don't know, I imagine the promotional may work for majority of titles though.
I may just try and see if it works with Fallout 4...
*Edit: Nope doesn't work for Fallout 4...I knew I was pushing my luck.
Well this is all news to me. Do we know if Iron Galaxy make good pc ports?
They converted Arkham Asylum and Arkham City to Steamworks, did the PC version of the Bioshock 2 DLC (Minvera's Den), handled the WiiU port of Arkham Origins, the Vita port of Borderlands 2 and the PS4/X1 port of the Borderlands Handsome Jack collection, amongst others.
So yes?
Is the game using Steamworks? They could simply postpone activating the game on Steam, thereby delaying it.
The outrage would be incredible
Just turned on my PS4 and it just finished downloading.
Looking at their rap sheet im not exactly instilled with confidence.
The ad for the PS4 DLC clearly states "Play it First" with fine print saying its exclusive until fall. Which likely means it'll release in august along with all the other retail exclusives.
Also, the description of the Scarecrow mission reads..
Perhaps theres more to it than that, but it definitely seems like it has something to do with the batmobile.

Got a code for the game with a gtx 970 in the box. Uhm, of course I will install it and try it out. But to be honest I did not finish the last two batman game. Asylum was ace tough, loved the whole detective part of the game.
Combat wise, I had more fun in shadow of mordor.
And the batmobile? What I've seen on the streams was just goofy.
I want to be happily surprised though!
