I want to play this game but if it turns out ANYTHING like Condemned 2 with its ridiculous dozens of ten button combos I'm out.

GOTHAM GRAB RB (HOLD) YYABYYA then IN AIR LB Down then Up on Analog Stick

BATARANG BLAST ABA HOLD LB+RB then ABXXARBRB

GameTrailers has now posted just that.

Extended cut (what they should have posted to begin with):

This was mentioned somewhere in this topic earlier. There's no chance of me getting it at that price but still curious to see what it all looks like . A picture of it should be released pretty soon.

Yeah, that price is ridiculous. But I am curious to see what it looks like nonetheless.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum

First picture of the Collectors Edition has been released. Small, but gets the point across.

Edit: Found slightly larger pic

Amazon emailed me and told me my pre-order won't ship until early June now. Appears this has been delayed a month or so.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum

Seeing this topic bumped reminded me. Its now being said the that PS3 version will have a playable Joker. Taken from Kotaku.com

A new advertisement appearing earlier than expected in Sony's PlayStation Home reveals the ability to play as The Joker in PlayStation 3 exclusive challenge levels for Batman: Arkham Asylum.

Several readers sent us in blurry photos of the new sign, which has appeared in various spots throughout the Home service today, featuring a grinning Joker (the best kind) and boasting exclusive challenge levels for the PS3 version in which players will be able to take control of the clown prince of crime. I hopped online and snapped my own shot, but appreciate the efforts of our readers to bring this story to light.

I contacted public relations for the game, who couldn't offer me any details on the exclusive, or whether or not the Xbox 360 version would be getting something similar. In fact, the man I spoke to seemed rather shocked that the ad had already gone up. Whoops.

For those of you who haven't been following the game, Challenge Maps are additional goodies outside of the main game that players can run through over and over again, trying to get the best score, which Crecente got a look at during GDC this year. We've you can find a video of Batman taking on one such level here.


Hopefully its true

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum

Damn. I hate the ps controllers sooo much. But I might have to get one instead of an xbox. (Yeah, I only have a Wii at this point in time, but this game is probably going to make my desire for one of the big boys reach threshold.)

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum

Thankfully I usually don't care about things like "challenge maps" that are outside of the main game. I can see the appeal for replayability though.

Harley looks hot

She looks a lot like something from Bioshock. Not a bad thing, just an observation.

I saw another pic of her in this month's GamePro. Just as when I saw that pic, Harley looks hot.

So is Arleen Sorkin gonna voice Harley? I hope so.

EDIT: According to IMDB she is:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0815071/
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1282022/

And Clancy Brown as Killer Croc?

The video doesn't work. It just says it can't find the video you requested.

Wow! They certainly nailed the character of Harley! I hope she's one of the very last boss battles or at that you encounter her during several levels of the game.
