Another Fandome trailer (in 4K!):



Behind the scenes:

That gave me no sense of game or gameplay itself. Nice story and all, but that trailer did nothing to show me anything. All cinematics.

They showed gameplay at Fandome last year. I'm sure we'll see plenty more very soon -- maybe at The Game Awards?

For some reason, I was really expecting this one to be more of a Spring release.

Also announced Next Gen only.

And now I have a deadline to get a PS5.

The lack of a previous-gen version wouldn't be so bad if there were at least crossplay, but the official FAQ says "nope". I thought this could be a fun one to play with my wife, but we don't have 2 Xbox Series consoles or 2 PS5s.

Well that’s a bummer. I probably won’t play this until later then as I’m not planning to buy a new console until a price drop happens. I really don’t do enough gaming (aside from Switch) to justify a new console.

I don’t keep up on games that much anymore. Love the Arkham games. But can you even get a ps5? So a big title next gen game to come out, but no systems.

Also hate that they had to mention “non lethal rounds” in that demo. It’s bad enough wb has ruined an action figure line that 99% adults buy.

It was mentioned about 10 seconds after Red Hood crushes a man’s skull under his foot.

Any idea if you can play the whole game as Batgirl or do you have to use specific characters for specific sections? Because I have zero interest in playing as any of the other characters besides her.

Related note, I started Arkham Knight last night to catch up on the series before this one drops. That first Batmobile challenge was super fucking annoying.

Adam Tyner

Because of the multiplayer element, I’d have to think you can play as anyone.

Maxflier

Good point, thanks!

First real look at supervillains:

I might try to pick this up around Black Friday or near Christmas when there is hopefully a price drop. Can't regularly spend $70 on new PS5 games right now. It does look cool.

slop101

I'm in, just as long as the game doesn't rely too much on co-op and/or the stupid bat-tank from the last game.

Xander

It looks really cool, except that I think I saw a Scarecrow level, which makes me want to tear my hair out.

Decker

Good thing they made this a Next Gen game only.

WTH....30FPS with no quality performance options...good grief.....this is XBox Series X and PS5..... not PS4 and XBox One we're talking about. And it's locked at 4K/30FPS no matter what even if you don't have a 4K set...my gaming monitor is 2160 but is capable of up to 160hz

mhg83

I read the excuse to keep it at 30fps is for online co-op to work smoothly. But why not give 60FPS for those that solo?

K&AJones

That question is already being asked and brought up on other forums and Game News Sites...which is calling their excuse B.S and makes no sense. There are plenty of PS5 and XBox Series X games that run at 4K/60fps that are just as detailed and action pack....these include Assassins Creed Vahalla, Ghost of Tsushima, Far Cry 6, Resident Evil Village, Gran Turismo, Days Gone and God of War.....

...and by the way, PC Players do get custom visual settings and 60FPS....

Three friends and I play co-op together and were planning to all buy this until we saw it’s only 2–player co-op. It sounds pretty poorly thought out even for that, as both players can be the same character. I saw they’re adding a 4-player mode, but it’s just a 30-stage arena, not the campaign. Between all of that and the previews sounding tepid, that’s four sales they’ve lost.
