Haven't been paying attention to this game, watched the trailer and pre-ordered immediately. That might be the first time a trailer has ever done that for me.

I don't think The Order looks better in terms of raw "fidelity", but I need to play more of it.
IMO Batman AK wins everywhere, and I hope we won't have a nasty surprise at release. The Witcher 3 for example looks worse than it did some months ago, I understand corners have to be cut for budgetary reasons but it's still disappointing.
Hopefully nothing of the sort.
If you are serious one piece of advice : wait. This game is shaping up to be quite the hardware devourer if you have high framerate standards. Sure, aiming for the same level as consoles won't ask for much but maximum settings + 60fps is going to be a devilish combo. I'm not even certain a single 980 will cut it at 1440p.

Just stop
In other news, Batman hasn't merc'd this many cats since Keaton was behind the cowl. Rubber bullets my ass.

Well, they did it again. I felt quite finished with the Arkham games after origins and I think I said the same thing after Arkham City. They keep finding ways to get people excited about the new games, and with good reason.
I can't ever imagine that this game won't be a blast to play. The core combat system of these games is still lots of fun.

This game man... this game.
Usually one month before the release date. But you can bet it's going to be demanding.
2tflops 2gb GPU, I5 and 6gb of ram as minimum specs is my estimation.
Okay... wait for what, though?
That was an awesome trailer. The visual fidelity is up there with other amazing looking games. But I'm dying to see PS4 footage. I don't think we have even caught a glimpse of it at any events. The E3 2014 demo was confirmed to be PC footage and that looked incredible. I hope the PS4 version is at least close to the PC version (IQ and Nvidia GameWorks aside).

I hope that the open world portion is better than it was in City. Just felt like it was there to check a box somewhere. That trailer though... so great.
For a new batch of GPU. Q2 2015 should see the release of the R9 300 series and likely 2-3 Nvidia GM200 powered GPUs.

The rain looks very toned down by comparison, but who knows? There could be a weather system with heavier rain at different parts of the story? Possibly reflecting what is going on.
Either that, or it just really has been scaled back.
This looks fantastic.
You act as if the revelation that Batman had been beating up innocent men, women and children and blowing up civilian vehicles for the duration of the game wouldn't be the best twist ever.
"I have already won" indeed.

In all honesty though I am a little worried. I don't think the open world design is really beneficial, and this is even more open-worldier than AC. I played the first two games about the same amount of time (basically platinumed both outside of the hardest challenges), and I think the first one is much more memorable overall. Occasionally I remember stuff I liked a ton about AC (the whole museum was fricken great), but it's a little fuzzy to me (especially some of the side quests) and I can't help but think that's because of how open the game is.
But I'll still get this
I explored every last detail in AC. There's so many little things they put in there that most of the time i would just walk around taking it in. And this is where Origins failed. The city didn't feel alive. It felt empty compared to City. The art direction just wasn't there. RS is going to make that even better in AK. Read this expanding Gotham bit-

Even though AK will be bigger, it's not going to be big just to be big. It's going to be very dense.

If Joker is in it, I'm probably going to skip it. So sick and tired of every Batman game in this series being about the Joker. Origins would have been so much better without him.

Character faces are really awful looking (especially Poison Ivy and commissioner gordon) Batman stupid new batsuit make him look like a robot. Rocksteady artists completely fail again in this.
Rocksteady should outsource character modelling to WB Games Montreal or hire better guys.

I have a pretty good system, but just curious if I can max it at 1080p with PhysX.
i7 3770k @ 4.4
16GB DDR3 @ 1600
MSI 980 @ 1500
I know the "requirements" won't answer that, but they might give a hint.
From Rocksteady. There aint no way that WB is killing a cash cow.
If they give it two years I wouldn't mind seeing WB Montreal attempt a Court of Owls game.

That is how you put together a trailer. Amazing.

Oooh, that's definitely encouraging! Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Rocksteady will do open world the best way possible, I'm just not entirely sure if, at least for me, open world can ever be better in this type of game than something more linear like AA. Maybe it's just because I don't have the attention span to appreciate all the smaller stuff in between missions
I have no way to know but you will have a great experience for sure. And if you game at 1080p then your 980 will have an easier time "maxing" out this game but I don't feel confident enough to tell you that max settings and 60fps is possible on a single 980 even at 1080p. Physx is already demanding as it is but there are also other tech part of Nvidia-Rocksteady partnership.
We have to bear in mind that Nvidia is partnering with Rocksteady as they did with all three previous Batman games and they will be launching their GM200 GPU Q2, just in time for AK. It would not surprise me if Batman AK had effects specifically optimized for it.

Awww yis!
There is such a good foundation that Rocksteady set. There will absolutely be more Batman games.....not sure if they will be "Arkham" games though.

how am i supposed to play witcher 3 and batman arkham knight when they come out days apart? they both look so good but both look like massive time consuming games :/
We know from way before that PS4 used 900p. In this trailer, some wide city shots and gameplay sections look to be little too much "shimmery".
Anyhow, great trailer.
I could be wrong but aren't Rocksteady aiming for 1080p/30fps on both consoles ? Unless they can't handle what devs had in mind at that res.

Ezio/Chris Redfield? Works for the younger, more brash Batman.
Conroy is Batman. Cool and collected.
