When does the S-E takeover happen?

Wikepedia say's S-E took over on Apr 22, and Wikepedia never lies :)

Oh, I guess I just thought it was approved then, didn't realize it actually happened. I was trying to come up with a conspiracy but it's likely just as simple as Eidos proper wanting holiday money. Probably wise to avoid all the summer action movies as well :lol:

While they're at it, why don't they just push it back for the next Batman movie in 2011?

If I had pre-ordered this, I would be (more) pissed.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum

Per Joystiq, delayed to the nebulous "Summer 2009" time frame. Still not sure if I really want the CE or not, but damn that Batarang looks nice. Joystiq also mentions that the PS3-exclusive Joker challenges will be DLC for the 360 (but why bother with that: I'll just order the PS3 versiojn instead). BTW : The PTOM preview says that the Joker is playable in the main game on both systems, which was news to me.

well, they are saying it's still on track for "summer 2009." according to my calendar that's from june to september. so it could slip a bit and they woudln't be lying.

Bandit03 05-01-09 07:43 PM

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 
If it would be coming out in June, they would say so (since its so close) and would stop with all this Summer 09 bullshit. Me thinks they pushed it back to Sept

Aww, damn. I was looking forward to playing this before I got my hands on Uncharted 2. :(

RocShemp 05-06-09 07:08 AM

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 
Any new info? Is it still delayed until September?

Bandit03 05-06-09 07:23 AM

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 
^
Last I heard, Eidos confirmed that it will be released at the end of Summer. I haven't seen an exact date yet though

WVUMountaineers 05-07-09 01:18 PM

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 
i talked to a guy from gamestop and he told me it was pushed back til sept. definitely

RocShemp 05-07-09 06:51 PM

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 
Thanks, guys. Crappy news since I was looking forward to playing this sooner rather than later but I appreciate the responses nonetheless.

That "Breaking Bane" video linked on there is even better. :eek:

i know we've talked about this, but that still doesn't sound like Kevin Conroy doing Batman's voice. At least not the same sounding voice he did in the cartoons.

That's all Conroy! :up:

It appears he's doing his JL/JLU Batman voice. It sounds like they also got Diane Pershing to voice Poison Ivy again. :D

Did anyone else saw the demo of the game, for the PS3, in Best But?

I played with it a couple of weeks ago and it looked really smooth. The part that was available was not story based but more of minigames but they were good.

Found this on gametrailers,

"E3 09: Exclusive Joker Trailer"
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3...n-arkham/49775

This game is looking better and better, glad i pre-ordered the PS3 version.

I played the demo at Best Buy today... pretty fun!

Its sounds like him enough that I can say "Hey its Conroy" Now its Hamill that doesnt sound like hes doing the Joker.... Im still weary its him.

I gave the game a spin at Gamestop a few weeks back and it was pretty damn fun. Real fluid and easy to play. Kinda like God of War

Ravenous 05-30-09 02:37 AM

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 
Wow! I just saw game trailers has a trailer with ingame footage of the PS3 Joker exclulsive and he has his own set of moves and special weapons/gadgets. I thought he would be just a 'skin' but no way! Fucking sweet! I have never been more excited for a game!

lordwow 05-30-09 08:16 AM

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 
They had me up until that Exclusively on PS3 part.

#1 : As far as I understand it, he's playable in both versions during the story mode; he's only playable in the Challenge levels on the PS3.

#2: You can bet that he'll be downloadable for the 360 at some time in the future like New Goblin was for Spiderman 3 on the 360.

That said, I've preordered the PS3 version.

tonymontana313 05-30-09 08:06 PM

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 
I've read somewhere that Robin is exclusive for the 360. Sucks for 360 only owners if that's the case.

boredsilly 05-30-09 08:30 PM

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 
I don't look at it that way. I think this exclusivity business sucks for everyone all around. I get the trend, and why it's done, it just sucks for us consumers. Especially, when you only own one console or the other.

But as has been mentioned, eventually, the exclusive things will become DLC like Yoda and Darth Vader from Soul Calibur. I just won't be paying for it. I'm not rewarding this bullshit.

Apparently this game has been delayed until when it is unclear when. I have been searching around and I have seen anywhere between late august , and December. There is a sign up at Target offering a refund on preorders because there is no longer a release date.

The release date is august 25th....has been for about a week now. I'm hosting a midnight launch at my store since it is a street dated title.

http://www.amazon.com/Batman-Arkham-...4762495&sr=8-4

http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/Prod...oduct_id=72507

both list release date as August 25th.

Robin? Ouch! 2 Face would have been better

Spicollidriver1 06-12-09 05:52 AM

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
 
I understand the August date what I am saying is the rumor mill (annoying ass fanboys) are saying that that date has been pushed, and also maybe I am remembering it wrong but the last reservation card that I saw at Target had that date but the card has been pulled and they now have that sign. It wouldnt be the first time a "hard" street date got missed, and that is including gamestop, and Amazon. But hey I didn't say I believe it was delayed just putting it out there to see if there was new info.
