Gotham City Impostors... NOW on PSN!

Well... FINALLY the Public Beta of "Gotham City Impostors" is out today, on PSN (and the other one too, but I don't care about that crappy network :twisted: )...

I'm downloading it as we speak...

The question (as everybody probably already read) is: anyone else will be interested in playing it?

I already started one of these threads, though the poll is a champion idea, I s'pose.

:)

Wanna c'mon over and join that discussion?

I know. But the Beta was only released TODAY, so this has more sense now than before.

I really never understood your thread, actually... :P

what is Gotham City Imposters?

We've had it in my country since the 24th. Sorry to misunderstand you. Some folks have been playing the beta since November of last year, BTW.

I know that. But what I'm talking about here is the PUBLIC Beta...

I know that IGN was giving Betas, for instance... But I don't actually care about the "I'm-So-Elite-that-I-Play-a-Private-Beta" downloads... that's why I waited to post this until the PUBLIC Beta was out... and that happened ONLY A FEW HOURS AGO for PSN and XBL. :D

Like I said, I've been playing the PUBLIC beta for two days. YOU may have just gotten it on YOUR PSN, but the rest of the world is not on YOUR particular schedule, so to some of us, this didn't JUST happen today. Either way, enjoy it. I like it, it's fun and colorful and a bit unique.

Take a look at the date...

Maybe you have a "special VIP" PSN account, with early content access... because for the US Store the Public Beta HAS JUST ARRIVED TODAY. ;)

(unless you're not on the US... if that's the case: I'm Sorry for the confusion :?)

Incorrect. Today is Thursday. The store updates on Tuesdays, which is when the beta was posted...2 days ago.

Either way, I played the private beta to the cap back in November. I had already deleted the beta. Lucky for me, I had my save file still...so I start off back at Level 25 with all my weapons. :)

I'll be picking the game up day one. Feels like Team Fortress 2 mixed with BioShock 2 mixed with the Batman Universe.

The beta is goofy but they need to do some polishing.PSP107

Yeah, well... that's kinda why they call it a BETA... :P

Yeeaah... Except that's NOT what happened. The Beta is available SINCE TODAY... on Tuesday IT WASN'T THERE... I know for sure, 'cause I'm still FURIOUS about this week's update... so, I know EXACTLY what was included in the regular update. GCI was NOT a part of it.

I don't know how much time you've been a PSN user... but it's NOT the first time Sony has added something some day other than a Tuesday. It happens. Deal with it. :roll:

Not interested.

Wow. Just... Wow. Ok, you're right. I didn't download the public beta on tuesday of this week, and I didn't play it for an hour, I didn't formulate any opinion on it, I didn't post a thread after my obvious hallucinations and your version of reality is correct. I give up.

:lol:

Delta-BRAVO.

does it have move support?

if it does ill bite..

No.. The beta was up on the 24th.. Saw it when i was buying sotc hd and some umvc3 costumes... Check the comments on the psbog for confirmation it was out then..MethodManFTW

Ok, fine! Whatever. You all win. I guess my console didn't like the Beta, so it chose to not show me that entry. I don't care anymore... :|

Stupid PS Store. With its stupid updating policy. And the hell with all the damn Betas of the world. And I despise all the Ancient Greek Alphabet. And Batman and Gotham City...and Metropolis too. I'm never going to make another post again... damn you GameSpot, for all your seductive publishing tools! I should've have known this would happen... I hate DC Comics and all the dumber Super-Friends... (ò_ó)

does it have move support?

if it does ill bite..KBFloYd

I don't have it. :(

But, then again, I don't have a Move kit, so... Maybe it's something that activates automatically when you have the Move Controller on. I honestly don't know... :?

I won't be bothering with it. From what I've seen the game looks very average, nice idea, but weak execution.

I´ve been playing since gamespot gave us the key. It is awesome.

I'm afraid that I'll have to agree with you... :(

Now that I played the Beta... I think I would prefer playing any other FPS out there than this... *THUMBS DOWN*

And I didn't like the game's "Community"... :roll:

See, I felt the opposite: Weak idea; good execution. On paper the game sounds like shovelware. Add in the fact that it's developed by Monolith who've seen a fall from grace from the first F.E.A.R. on and you can see why it would get a lot of groans. After playing the game though, I find it to be a fun experience. It can be fast paced and mindless or have some degree of strategy involved. The crazy loadout options and character customization give you a reason to keep playing. All the voiceover work is really well done for this type of game, too.

From my personal experience, it can only be "fast paced and mindless"... and I didn't like that. :evil:

The loadout options are only useful if you can muster some kind of "team" to play with... if not, you have a lot of nice traps, that are impossible to enjoy. :roll:

And I don't play a MMO for the "voiceover work", precisely... :|

I have been playing it since the Playstation Plus beta back in November! It is an amazing game. Perfect combination between TF2 and COD. I already reached the max lvl of 25 in the PS Plus beta so does anyone know if they raised the level in this public beta?

I can understand your qualms. I'd like Call Of Duty, ifthe community didn't ruin it for me. I've seen people successfully and unsuccessfully use the bear traps and jack-in-the-box bombs. For my loadout I'm using one of the slender female characters equipped with an SMG with a red dot sight as a primary and an assault rifle with a 4x ACOG scope as my secondary. My support item is the ninja stars and my extra ability is the hang glider. I find that I can use the hang glider to move quickly back and forth to objectives. I use the ninja stars as a sort of proximity radar. I'll come around the corner ready to throw them and they'll auto-target the nearest enemy. I toss them out to get the first hit, then lay into them with the SMG. I use the assault rifle for longer distance kills.

I just mentioned the voiceover work for being appropriate and funny in a game that's supposed to be zany and over the top because I thought it was a plus. And since when did 6v6 constitute an MMO? :|

No increase of the level cap. However, if you still have your save from the old beta, you retain your weapons and unlocks. You can still earn money to put towards costume pieces.

After we had the awesome Arkham Asylum and Arkham City games revolving around Batman, Jokerand Gotham wich were quite creative and best made Batman Games ever we do a step backwards to a generic FPS where everything is just imposted?

Hell no, I rather continuewaiting for Batman: Arkham World ;)

You´re right. My bad. Is NOT a MMO... but it IS an Online-Only game. That was my point. Sorry for the confusion. :oops:
And in that nature, voiceover work means little to me. :|

EDIT: After playing the Beta I completely disagree with what I said previously in this thread. I was pleasantly surprised with the game modes, customisation options, and wacky loadouts, and enjoyed the hour or so I played it. I don't think I'll be purchasing it because I prefer single player games, however it just goes to show, don't judge a book by its cover. The clever and crazy assortment of weapons and traps taken from the Batman universe and created comically make for some fun moments, and the presentation was great.

See, this is basically what I was saying. If you're a Batman purist or aren't a fan whacky games or games that are multiplayer only, you'll hate it. But for what the game is trying to accomplish and how it sounds on paper, it's executed very well.

I´ve been playing since gamespot gave us the key. It is awesome.

unrealtron

I loved the game too.

Its an interesting concept and pretty fun. The best is just roller-skating around everywheremfreder1010

I enjoy flying around with the glider rig and dive bombing people. If they don't die, I spin around and start shooting.

My main loadout (which I've lovingly named "Nutjob") is a Nimble (I think, the one girl size) and has the Gatekeeper with a red dot sight as a primary, the Dawn Patrol rifle with the ACOG as a secondary, the glider rig, and ninja stars as my support weapon. This works well because the ninja stars lock on and work as a sort of mini proximity radar allowing me to get the jump on people before shooting them.

My other loadout (which I've titled "Fruitcake") is the same body size but with the health upgrade. My main is the Huntsman rifle with the ACOG scope, secondary is the Gatekeeper with a red dot, the targetting goggles, and my support weapon is the pipe bomb.

All in all the game offers some decent customization options. My only issues with the game are just the way some people play, which is expected (i.e. using invisibility potions and shotguns, using Burlies or other big characters with a ton of health and weapons like the Shredder and rocket launchers). I mostly just hate that because I always feel like those people flock to those weapons, get decent KDRs, then act like it takes skill to do that. inb4 "LOL Skill in a console shooter?!"
