Batman: Arkham Asylum

[GrannySmiths]

Saw the teaser trailer for this. Is the joker dying in the sequal? He looked all wired up.

[Stanley]

For what it's worth I haven't experienced any problems with the PS3 version. Buy in confidence.

[amorenod]

I agree, this is not Bayonetta, PS3 Batman is fine.

[Dude Ranch]

PS3 Batman was fine for me. No tearing.

[MansizeRooster]

Does PS3 Batman have an install?

I literally shit myself with excitement every time I think about the sequel. Can't wait!

[trickytree]

Yes to the install.

There's some tearing on PS3, but it's fairly minor, not game-breaking. Quite constant on the title screen bizarrely, when panning around Batman doing his moody look.

[Stanley]

1gig+ install but loading in-game is barely noticeable. Extra content on the PS3 also.

I feel sorry for your mother. Do you pay for all the cleaning products?

How long is the story mode on this? Just following the DNA trail for the warden and wondered where I'm up to. Difficult to tell with trophies and riddles adding to the completion percentage.

You've got quite a way to go yet, roughly near the halfway point maybe. I did the Warden bit earlier today and played a further four hours and my stats say I've done 58%. I have been doing some puzzles when they are on route but haven't been going out of my way to do them because I know I can mop up at the end when I have all the right equipment to do them all.

clocks don't show percentages

[SeanR]

clocks don't show percentages

excepted when you've clocked it, 100%, obv.

[womblingfree]

Maybe you have shit eyes? Or did play the game till any of the

Scarecrow

sections, were the PS3 shits itself.

Nope, no tearing here either. Maybe your TV? The first Uncharted and Ninja Gaiden Sigma tear-to-buggery on my TV, but nothing noticeable on Batman.

[Cthulhu Steev]

Nope, none.

Me neither. Sorry Kevvy, my PS3 version isn't tearing at all.

[SeanR]

in the

final bit, before the final bit with the joker on his throne

where it's two titans and a couple of waves of thugs, just before the joker injects himself

batman walks towards the camera, which is quite low, about thigh height. There was a bit of tearing/v-sync issues

on the 360 version at 720p

Crash Batmandicoot.

What the hell kinda' similarities does Arkham Asylum have with Crash Bandicoot!?

[SeanR]

What the hell kinda' similarities does Arkham Asylum have with Crash Bandicoot!?

you really have to ask?

[sucker4life]

YEAH!

[SeanR]

YEAH!

here

[sucker4life]

Ah, OK.

I'll give you the bosses as the only similarity.

THAT'S IT!

[Cthulhu Steev]

Me neither. Sorry Kevvy, my PS3 version isn't tearing at all.

(I should say, except on Batman's body on the 'select game' pan-up shot)

You Obviously haven't played up the any of the

parent's dead in Morgue / Scarecrow

sections?

You're reward with a great Vista unfortunately completely ruined by an awful frame rate and constant tearing.

[Guest]

Tearing discussions - this game was rubbish then wasn't it.

Damn them devs, damn them!

Internet forums in "no clue" non shocker

[Cthulhu Steev]

You Obviously haven't played up the any of the

parent's dead in Morgue / Scarecrow

sections?

I have and they were fine, no tearing.

[Dukesy]

I've had this since close to the release date but only just had the time to sit down and play through it. Start to finish this weekend. WHAT A GAME. I cant think of any other game that is paced as well as this. Nothing feels like a grind, boss difficulty is just right. Most fun I've had playing a game in ages

[Smitty]

Maybe'll they'll streamline the sequal a bit so you can complete it by pressing one button once.

Wicked.

Wicked.

Eh ?

[Stanley]

I agree with Smitty. I felt as though I was being led by the hand through the entire game. Enjoyable though it was, it's a very backward thinking title. Polished to high heaven I'd rather have a few more interesting rough edges.

Maybe in the next one you'll be able to click a thumbstick to call up a glowing line that shows you EXACTLY where to go next.
