Batman Screens Burst onto the scene

Dat Detail, Next gen is just kicking up guys. We may have years to go but if this is the start we're all gonna have some pretty nice visuals by gens end.

Really hope the game has an engine that can replicate concept art, like that last screenshot

:o

Dark Souls II has some competition for GOTY.

Rocksteady has been pretty solid at visuals especially for open world games. Solely going PS4/Xbox1/PC for this I can only imagine they'll have some horsepower behind the engine.

Might actually need to engage my 780Ti for this game.

1080p @ 30fps on PS4 and 720p @ 29.9fps with dips into the low 20s on Xbone, calling it now.

Such a big fan of these games. Really thought the first two were goty the years they came out. Liked origins, not as good, but not nearly as bad as gamers cry it is, imo. So psyched for this game. If I do get the new gaming PC, I'll be getting it on that.

It's quite exciting. Did you run into any game breaking bugs in Origins? What did you think about it?

I hope I can run it good enough.

Day 1

You don't think you'll have dips on the PS4 either? hahaha

i hope this uses UE4 and not UE3

Nothing ever is. I've played quite a few games like that. Disappointing? Yes. But as bad as some of the internet crusades that I've seen?

Not even close.

Epic started licensing the engine in may of 2012. A very short time after AC released. If they are i'm assuming Rocksteady went right into PP with the game and waited for the engine license.

They also said expect the first batch of UE4 games to start coming in the fall.

thank you sir

this better use unreal engine 4....

Should be amazing, on PC that is.

Well I dont think the game will actually look like that in action, but lets hope it pushes the hardware.

Batman is the Boss Demon 8)

Post like this aren't constructive. It'll look great on all platforms.

Can't wait

IM SCATMAN8

They seem to think that the CGI trailer is actual in game footage... Rocksteady have only said it's an updated Unreal Engine (Said no number) that they are using.

This is systemwars, I can point out that like all other batman games i'tll be best on PC.

Has a good chance of being the greatest game of all time.

The new Fable game on Xbox One is using UE4 I believe.

They've said themselves their using an updated Unreal Engine. Nothing about UE4. For all we know it's just heavily modifed UE3 again. Would be nice to have it UE4 though

New info too

- You can call on the batmobile mid-glide by targeting a spot you want it to drive to

- The Batmobile pretty much affects everything you hit in some fashion, not just certain walls

- You use L2 mid-glide to use the line launcher

- The use of gadgets while gliding produces a slo-mo sequence

- The batmobile has a boost function

- The boost function refuels when you drift around corners

- Rocksteady isn't talking about whether or not you can upgrade it

Oh wow these look AMAZING, i think i'm actually hyped for a next gen game.

Feels like they would have said if it was UE4 by now as that is a pretty cool marketing thing. In practice I find people care way too much about what engine games are running on, if it's a new or an updated one etc. I mean the visual difference between the first Gears Of War and Arkham Knight will be way bigger than Assassin's Creed:Revelation vs AC3. Nothing prevents you from adding fancy new visual effects to an old engine.

Really disappointed that it's using a modified ue3 still. character models are sex but I'm afraid the world design will suffer for it.

Will Xflop version be 720p or 900p?

Link, just for curiosity's sake

Played all the others on pc maxed, will do the same with this one, of course I will have to upgrade my gpu first.

@seanmcloughlin: So badass. I'm huge batman fan, so I get a fan stiffy when I hear about all this stuff. I wish I had more time to read all the comics and novels though :(

I believe it was mentioned in the Game Informer article. Although I haven't picked up my issue yet so I could be misinformed.

Looks great! I'm hype.

Nice!! I hope they include different batmobile skin's like the tumbler or the original tv batmobile that would be awesome.

probably 480p. LOL

Thanks for the pics. Looks like it's coming along nicely.

Rocksteady are pretty damn ballin'.

You know, I never did. It played smooth for me. Multiplayer a little dip in FPS but campaign, no. I really liked it. One part of the story was just tired, imo. I wont say anything to spoil. But the combat was great, seemed like a slight difference in timing from AC. A lot of things to collect, and the fast travel to each region is a good addition. Its a 7-8 game, where as AA and AC were 9-10, imo.

Does anyone else think that those screens all look like concept art, not in-engine renders?

The characters look so grimy. Hope we don't get any close ups of Two Face.

Hope my 680 gtx can handle this still, otherwise i'll jsut have to plop in a second one and sli that biotch.

Hell, if you go by what you read from people on the internet, a 7/10 is a gaming death sentence!!

How big of downgrade will this get before it comes out?

incoming 720p 30 fps downgraded xbone version!

I'll be getting it on pc in all its glory

And honestly, it does nothing to make me excited about the game.

The only reason I'd ever play it is because Rocksteady know how to make a game that focuses on player experience and tight, refined gameplay.

Visually, so long as a game has a distinct art style that sets it apart from the other dull games out there, and runs at a playable framerate (that doesn't hamper the gameplay) I couldn't care less about the graphics fidelity. Art and atmosphere has always immersed me in a game's world, not fancy shaders.

That said, I'll likely be getting this on PC when it comes out.
