I'm curious to see if the MP turns out anything like Spies vs. Mercs since those guys fit the Merc description perfectly. I remember wishing for MP back when Arkham Asylum was close to release and a lot of people didn't appear to like that idea like expected. :lol

MP never has to ruin the SP experience if there are two dedicated teams. I'm sure their dev team grew a lot after AA as well. Uncharted 2 had both great SP and MP. :D

I just started a new game on Arkham Asylum on PC this time and it makes me mad that I originally got it on PS3 just for those challenge maps I didn't even really touch. Damn this looks so much better, especially using a trick to get AA to work on ATI cards.

Is this releasing on pc?
I hope they fix controller support in this one. My Cordless Rumblepad 2 defaulted with the left analog stick inverted, so when you pushed up Batman would walk backwards :lol

You had to edit a .ini file to make it work correctly, and the ABXY buttons were all mixed up as well. I ended up having to use a Xbox 360 controller emulator.
 
Is that hair I see? I'm amazed! It doesn't even look like plastic.

I want this game so bad, the first game was amazing.

Just get a 360 pad, no problems at all on my wireless one :p

I swear Rocksteady uses the unreal engine even better than EPIC themselves. Game looks gorgeous.

This.
I always thought games with Unreal Engine looked like crap(washed out plastic looking player models) until I played Arkham Asylum.
 
Screenshots look about the same level of graphical fidelity as the first game.

Which is good because that looked great.
 
tripple takedown? car door takedown?

I love how brutal Batman fights.

Real or fake. I honestly don't know.

Looks cool though.

Being that they would have had to get Kevin Conroy and Mark Hammil in on the fake, I can assume this is probably real.

It's also completely awesome (although I still wonder what must be going through thug #5-10's heads to be that confident to attack BATMAN and the JOKER at the SAME TIME after ALL OF YOUR BUDDIES WERE EFFORTLESSLY BEATEN)

Only weird thing is that the enemy character models are 1:1 from arkham asylum

Joker's Dialogue at the beginning is also from Arkham Asylum. I mean come on guys, are you so starved for info that you'll take a fan made trailer as gospel? No way it's real, much as I would like it to be :(
 
Ummm, that's very obviously fake:

All voice assets from BAA? Check

All art assets from BAA? Almost, though I don't recognise the street.

All animation assets from BAA? Almost apart from 1 or 2 that were new but were poorly synced. Joker's moves were all in the PS3 version.

Apart from that, it reeks of fanmadeitis.
 
I'm going to call fake on that trailer. The character models for the enemies look like they were ripped out of Arkham Asylum, same with the Joker's dialogue. Plus wasn't it confirmed that Joker is still pretty beat up from the Titan abuse? Whoever made that video is very talented though.
 
All the lines in that "trailer" are also from Arkham Asylum I believe.

Of course whoever did make that, very well done on their part.

Edit: Too slow.

This, although I will say I'm very impressed by the quality of the vid, kudos to whoever made it.

If this is real, and if we'll be able to play as Batman, Catwoman, the Joker, and possibly others, and with the Batman: AA gameplay expanded to include cooperative attacks and some of the other new moves we saw in that trailer, fuck, this will be the best brawler EVER.

Yea AA style combat with new animations mixed in along with co-op attacks that kind of work like the counters would be amazing. I didn't really think much about what they could do with co-op attacks and just the general feel of AA's combat with another person but that really good fan video sure has got me thinking about it now.

Again, awesome video though.

I mean turning AA's tight, entertaining combat into something like the Simpsons arcade game would be a goddamn stroke of genius.
 
Rocksteady posted a new screenshot on their facebook page.
