Not speculation. This is for real sefton hill did this one. Keir did say there was going to be new trailers in the coming weeks so this maybe the first of many.

[Darkboy0070]

Verry Nice.

I heard when in hard mode you won't see the counter icons. Does he mean the extreme version of the challenge room?

[SammiiDoogles]

Not speculation. This is for real sefton hill did this one. Keir did say there was going to be new trailers in the coming weeks so this maybe the first of many.

I Dont think you caught the fact he was joking, He was making the point that we're getting infro from another site, and not from keir.
Saying that other sites get info before us, yet again.

[VXR]

so, you are calling KEIR a LIAR ?????????

SHAME ON YOU........ may your bat underwear.... be itchy

Oh yeah she's the Keir believer. Becaause there are quite a few people on these forums that go on random rants.

Back on topic, Damn sefton hill is good. Dont worry i will master it sefton. :lol:

[Tim Drake]

One think I noted when watching the trailer is, that the thugs don't just ragdoll when they're knocked out anymore. Instead they grap their heads, making it look more organic. Pretty nice surprise because I've never been a big fan of ragdolling, except the advanced form of NaturalMotion.

Yeah and She's hilarious for that Sammi Dent comment, and I noticed that as well Tim, Im glad they fixed it and they aren't all Jelly Roll Morton on us

[Chimaera]

OMFG THEY TONED DOWN THOSE ANNOYING SPECIAL EFFECTS!

Plus the counter icon isn't as in your face any more.

I actually love Rocksteady.

[Darkboy0070]

Guys thats tidbit about hard mode removing the counter symbols is new right?

[Jason Todd]

I believe so, this was the first i've heard about it. :scratch:

[QCypher]

How does he do that!...I want those mad skills....he had critical hits and that black stuff flying behind him...amazing..........

[Chimaera]

I can't wait to play hard mode, countering without the icon will be bad ass.

[arOnex20]

that was kick ass. Sefton Hill is the beast of all beasts.

Happy days.

Nice post Tim :thumbsup:

[CaptainMcMulla]

[Chimaera]

"It" would be logically correct for all of us.

Yeah, I'll go with it.

[CaptainMcMulla]

Thank you Samii. You are the man on these forums.

[joker4eva]

This game looks awesome

[Drazar]

Loving the freeflow system.

[Abeja]

Great great find. They look like they made things alot smoother, no jelly. Alot of different ways to string combos besides strike and counter. Thank you so much for this. It eases my mind.

[joker4eva]

Good if they showed one of the joker

[Stargate21]

I hadn't seen that video yet. Good find.

[QCypher]

It seems that they cut some stuff out...maybe there will be another extended gameplay preview?

[SammiiDoogles]

Yeah thats what i was thinking

[QCypher]

Its like were starving of info on this game...something new pops up and were all over it...

[CaptainMcMulla]

Its like were starving of info on this game...something new pops up and were all over it...

Its true. If you ordered a take away one night and had some left overs how long would that last, maximum i would say is two days. Thats why we have fresh food to keep us healthy so i think this game should have new info regularly to keep it healthy.

I know , it's not a good example.

I Got a good take away example :D

You order take away, then they tell you your take away will arrive 3 months later...
So whatever bits you get from your take away, you savour :p


Lmao that was epic fail

even still,made me giggle how silly that was. hehe

[DarkKnightDanny]

yea that is so so true.was amazing the night we found that amazon comic. eidos is playing us like marketing research lab rats lol

[Tim Drake]

Speaking of the comic, is there any news on who's writing/drawing it? Would be awesome if it was none other than Dini himself, but that's too much to hope for I'm sure.
Btw, I've watched the trailer a few more times now, and don't you guys just love how many different moves Batman seems to have? I'm hard pressed to find any repetitious moves, which is another big plus in my book.

[DrBo42]

For those of you who didn't notice, we learned something huge from this video. "In Hard mode there is no counter icon, you must see the attacks coming for yourself." - Sefton Hill

For me, the combat is now perfect.

[EliteF50]

Great video! But only one problem...

OMFG THEY TONED DOWN THOSE ANNOYING SPECIAL EFFECTS!

Plus the counter icon isn't as in your face any more.

I actually love Rocksteady.

This ^

They didn't tone down the special effects. They added more.

Notice how the Batarangs have a black trail now? And there's a lot more smoke/sparks when Batman punches people (see 0:50 - 1:00).

:(

[DrBo42]

:(

Those added special effects are for critical strikes. You guys will cry over anything, good lord. Don't like it? Don't buy it.

[Chimaera]

They toned down the annoying orange trails, I could care less for the bats.

[stoobytoons]

Wow! I noticed 2 major points on this video:

1 - The cape clipping is soooooo much better. I didn't see any problems there.
2 - There seems to be a bit more "bleed" animation from Batman's really powerful moves. Sort of like Street Fighter IV's black ink explosions.

Very cool! I'm so excited to play this!!

[Man of Steel]

Couldn't have put it better myself

[EliteF50]

Oh, that makes sense. Bring up one issue = no purchase.

[Abeja]

Im glad there is a video of someone playing that actually knows what he is doing. I loved the critical strikes.

YES. I noticed that too. Even that GT preview the other day I saw some cape clipping. This one looks smooth. Thats the biggest thing about this video, is it looks alot better and the graphics seem to have another layer. Also, love how on hard difficulty the counter symbols disappear.

Also, i noticed all the bonus points you can get to improve your score. Very cool.

Another thing, I love the rolling kick.

[DrBo42]

Oh, that makes sense. Bring up one issue = no purchase.

Well no offense but there's constant complaining about lack of info or footage, then as soon as footage is released, people complain about the most trivial details. It's really annoying and disingenuous to the developers (assuming that they read this). I for one really like the added effects for the critical strikes, it emphasizes the power behind the hits. For any Rocksteady guys reading this, thank you for your hard work.

[CaptainMcMulla]

Oh, that makes sense. Bring up one issue = no purchase.

Im sorry but some people in these forums want this game to be 100% perfect. So at this moment DrBo42 is saying the right things. 1 minor issue = no purchase.

[EliteF50]

Well I think developers should know what the fans want. There are a lot of other people that don't like these effects, too.

This is my only complaint. I've never said anything negative about BAA other than this.

The "special effects" should be an option.

There wont be an option for every little thing. First the white eyes then this, whats next? no facial expressions

[SammiiDoogles]

Umm, dont wanna be a buzz kill or a pessimist or anything, but i downloaded the HD version of this, and when you see it full size in HD, there is still quite alot of Cape Clipping

BUT
Before you all start bashing me -

They seem to have added a lot more points in the cape where it can bend and fold and whatnot, and the clipping on the actual batman character model is highly improved.
Most of the clipping now seems to be on the Enemies, the cape slices through them quite a lot, but thats something that cannot be avoided i guess. This isnt a game about the cape, so i'll get over it, and still, its probably the best cape i've seen in a game :)

[QCypher]

He has FACIAL EXPRESSIONS?!? What!!?!?!?!!?!!!!!

[Man of Steel]

He has FACIAL EXPRESSIONS?!? What!!?!?!?!!?!!!!!

As Batman punches a thug, Batman acts like hes grunting like in most screenshots.

[Chimaera]

Jesus Christ is the concept of sarcasm a rarity now?

[CaptainMcMulla]

He has FACIAL EXPRESSIONS?!? What!!?!?!?!!?!!!!!

This is next generation gaming you know.

[Darkwing_Duck]

He has FACIAL EXPRESSIONS?!? What!!?!?!?!!?!!!!!

Yeah. He has brooding, moody, angry, depressed, and "deep in thought".

[QCypher]

This is next generation gaming you know.

So NONE of you get sarcasm?...I knew he had facial expressions I was trying to bring in irony about what he said.....geez...some people...........:rasp:

[CaptainMcMulla]

Dont you get sarcasm. I was being sarcy as well you know. i know you were joking everybody jokes around on these forums.

[QCypher]

Dont you get sarcasm. I was being sarcy as well you know. i know you were joking everybody jokes around on these forums.

Well if you got sarcasm you would know that I was joking and wasnt angry and that no one could tell you were using sarcasm except you!...lol

[Amputechture]

I like how Rocksteady is supposed to make the game according to about 15 people's opinion's on here.

It would be great if Rocksteady had a forum about everyone here and complained about us being total idiots.

In other words...Not all fans of Batman are on this forum...in fact, probably only about .000000001% of Batman fans are here.

So, I say be happy with what you get...stop complaining about Demos. Stop complaining about Cape Clipping. Enjoy the videos we get...

You are doing a great job Rocksteady. Magnificent.

wow there must be a lot of batman fans :p

Fair enough you could tell yours was sarcy because of all the caps lock and exclamation marks and mine was normal. So you win. Next time i'll put caps lock etc.

[Amputechture]

wow there must be a lot of batman fans :p

Yup...that was a scientifically proven stat for you there. :lmao:

[QCypher]

:nut:...ok sounds good.

[CaptainMcMulla]

:nut:...ok sounds good.

I know we are all going :nut::nut::nut:

[Abeja]

Anyone notice him say "Challenge room points translates to XP in the main game"? Very cool. Hope there are alot of character upgrades, or atleast more than Wolverine.

Who doesnt love that roll kick? I cant wait to do that.

Sammi, i do see some cape clipping after viewing the HD version a couple times. W

[DarkKnight11]

Hey, I've played the demo a couple of times briefly and I'm just wondering, how do you pick up/throw an enemy?

[artyfin]

This is looking better and better in each video.

The cape clippings seem to have been dealt with, however I don't think they'll ever get it 100% perfect.

[Velderik]

Looks like they reduced the blubbering, not that it bothered me before, but it even looks more realistic now :D

[juicebeast]

Wow, thanks for posting this vid! I saw the one with the stealth drops and was getting worried the game would be all about that style of gameplay, but my faith has been restored and I am once again excited like a little kid for this game.

Sorry for the long sentence, there.

Oh, yeah, and btw: "woot!"

[stoobytoons]

Looks like they reduced the blubbering, not that it bothered me before, but it even looks more realistic now :D

I, like you, wasn't too picky about this. However, having it been reduced, I do appreciate it.

[TAPETRVE]

Could still add some more blood. I know, this ain't Watchmen or Mortal Kombat but it would form some contrast to the dark and dull surroundings.

[CaptainMcMulla]

If they add blood the age rating would change.

[Chimaera]

The ESRB already compensates for blood.

[CaptainMcMulla]

I didnt know that, i think its because when you play as the Joker you blow guards heads off. Then the resulting outcome will be that ketchup spilt all over the floor

[artyfin]

I've started playing Assassin's Creed (which is an excellent game btw) to try and get a loose feel for what Free Flow will be like.

It seems like it will be pretty damn good, seeing as though in Assassin's Creed, the combat isn't too shabby.

[TAPETRVE]

If they add blood the age rating would change.

Don't think so. There's already blood in the game and when Batman gets shot, he bleeds like a woman in her monthlies. I just think enemies should bleed a tad harder when they get hit in the face.

[CaptainMcMulla]

Yes i found out about two hours ago

It sounds like your lady friends should seek some medical advice, if they bleed that heavily.
