If they have used UE4 it would've probably looked much better, especially if they implemented tweaks to the engine like lionhead did. Kinda funny actually, no last gen console version, but last gen engine...wtf

If the CoD:AW footage was 900p, this is obviously less. I'd say 720p max (on PS4!):
Optimisation kicks in in the last 10% and before that resolutions don't mean anything, I know, I know..
I thought the 900p quote was an estimate?
Not really, Playstation hosts a lot of third party videos on their channel.
I believe all their screenshots coincidentally were released in 900p only and Eurogamer pixel counters came out at 882p or something close to that.
Well I believe Sony and Warner had a marketing deal last gen (can't find a link though).
That is not guaranteed. This was just trailer premiere, nothing more.
What's with that weird effect on AK when he's jumping down?
Also they need to cut down on the BWAOOOOHHHH Inception music in trailers >.>
Fair enough I suppose.
The experts need to get their eyes checked then haha. The look of this game is really similar to the "Samaritan" demo from 2011 and it looks great.
I know they did last gen but the presence of this video on playstation's youtube channel is not proof of any continued patnership yet
What do you mean?

Looks like some sort of camouflage
Looks just like light reflecting off different parts of his suit. Who is doing the narration during this trailer?
Scarecrow? Bane? Arkham Knight?
Well it only says PS4 at the end, so right now I would bet on another marketing deal, though it could mean nothing of course. Why release a brand new trailer for a multiplat and hide two of the platforms if not for some kind of agreement?

Looks great bit i agree it would look batsinsane with some proper AA..
It's just the bokeh depth of field and the shiny armor of AK.

I need to play Arkham City already, does that let you drive the Batmobile?

Nope, first time in AK.
Yeah, the character design is a definite step up from AC. Particularly, Batman and Gordon have both slimmed down and don't look freakish.

My thoughts as well. This shit is getting annoying as hell.

Okay I'm going to be a little bit of a downer here, sorry. Now yeah the game looks good, it's a Rocksteady Batman game, so yeah there's hype for that. But ''gameplay trailer''? I've watched the trailer three times now, and I'm seeing no more than two seconds of what MIGHT be actual gameplay. The rest is obviously cut-scenes (possibly in engine) and CG concepts shorts.
Don't get me wrong I'm looking forward to the game, but damn it Rocksteady, give me a 3-5 minute gameplay video with a voice over telling and showing me the way the game plays, like Rockstar does.

I'm normally against the over-armorization of Batman, as the comics often show he doesn't really need it; despite that, I kinda dig the crazy power armor here. It looks like it's made with a lot of carbon fiber and it kinda works for me.
Part of his suit is all shimmering, I assume it's a cloak, either that or some messed up lighting.
They do that for all their third party videos. Why include other formats on a playstation channel? Go have a look at the witcher 3 video on their channel and tell me what formats are shown. Does Sony have marketing deal with CDPR as well?

So this is weird, while the trailer isn't necessarily impressive (to me) it doesn't temper me wanting to play the actual game come release.
The last two games were good enough to warrant my faith in Rocksteady, and while I think of it the only trailer that I really remember from an Arkham game was the CG one from City.
Hopefully there's some tangibility to the "coming soon" end caption

Theres more than 2 seconds, I'm sure most of the driving stuff and Batman beating up thugs is gameplay. I do agree its kinda silly that a sprinkle of gameplay constitutes a "gameplay trailer".. but thats pretty much how its been since the early 2000s.
