Batman: Arkham Asylum Video Game

[MalaCloudy Black]

That sounds fucking amazing.

Here's the full GDC demo.

I was apprehensive about this game at first, but holy fuck.

RIDDLE ME THIS

It’s not been confirmed by Eidos, but we have a sneaking suspicion that the Riddler will make an appearance if you complete the challenges he pitches to you. Early on in the game the Riddler hacks into Batman’s communications channel with a riddle. While the first one must be solved to progress the story, it unlocks riddles in almost every area of the game. To then solve them you need to use the Detective Mode to scan the element that answers the riddle. There are also Riddler Trophies scattered around Arkham Asylum.

Demo stations have been spotted at Gamestop and Best Buy. The demo consists of one of the challenge rooms (the fighting one) demoed at GDC.

We have a demo on the PS3 demo station in the Walmart I work in. I only saw part of a cutscene and a little gameplay, but it looks pretty badass.

[Hajjhowe]

Jeez, this looks awesome.

[Kaney]

Oh yeah, this game looks pretty good. Probably pick it up. Collectors edition, you say? Well, behind the scenes DVDs are pretty cool, I guess. Oh, a kayfabe notebook about the Asylum? Thats swee-wait, whats that?

MOTHERFUCKING BATARANG. I can't decide if that's overtly nerdy or just awesome enough.

[RoyWill Rumble]

It's $100, but it's so fucking tempting...

[LL!]

As a total fanboy of Batman. This. Must. Happen.

[Herr Matzat]

It looks like Metal Gear gone Batman... i´ll wait a while to see if it actualy is, than i´ll get it. :-D

Bane

[MalaCloudy Black]

Oh now that's fucking awesome.

[Herr Matzat]

Thats more than just a bit to much.

[tenaciousg]

I'm not saying Bane doesn't look awesome - but did he do it with Doc Ock or something in that picture?

[apsham]

Oh hey, they went with the "I have fucking tubes attached to me, look at my big muscles" look.

[Hajjhowe]

That's pretty much his look, just with one tube, no?

I am kind of interested in whether it's "I'm super strong but a fucking genius" Bane or "I'm a mindless muscle" Bane.

It better be the former, the latter really blows.

The site with the reveal said one of his attributes was "master strategist," so it seems like we'll be getting the intelligent Bane. Thank Christ.

Also, the look is a bit overkill. The tubes don't bother me as much as that huge thing on his back...looks weird. Guess I shouldn't be surprised though, considering Wildstorm are doing character designs. We'll have pouches and paraphernalia a plenty.

To put the tube talk to rest. Here is why:

From what I can gather, it seems like Bane's being controlled/driven insane by The Joker.
