The latest news is a month old and the blog hasn't been updated for 2 weeks. I was expecting something new every week or two. Then I thought that they might update it monthly but they still havn't.

I wish they would release a trailer every 2-3 weeks or so. Then again people want to complain about every little thing they see wrong. Or a Predator or Combat demo so we can all stop asking for one.

ive been asking about new stuff on the site. Even some new wallpapers. I like the logo and all, but something else would be cool. It looks like some wallpapers and screensavers are locked. Wonder what thats all about.

^ That would be nice. And get to change the background on the home page. I get tired of seeing the same thing when I get on here. Also to update the page when new news is out. If gametrailers had the videos, I thought the official website would have them first.

My guess is that since they pushed the game back a couple of months, that also pushed back their schedule for releasing info on the game. Why get us all excited (not that we aren't anyway) and then make us wait a couple of months for the game.
DarkKnightDanny
05-16-2009, 08:01 AM
As said above me, more & more info would be quite silly in my mind.the game doesnt come out till end of summer so if they released alot of info(we already know alot about the game already) that would simmer down the suspense of it all
NotNamedJohn
05-16-2009, 04:12 PM
Little tidbits of monthly info wouldn't simmer down the suspense, it'd add to it. If there are no updates between now and release, I think people would just stop looking at the main site. :eek:
I don't see why people want new videos of free flow or invisible predator gameplay, though, there are already two on the site. A video showcasing a couple of gadgets might be interesting to see, but videos would probably be time consuming to produce. Maybe release some new screenshots or wallpapers once in awhile? Or a screensaver?

You honestly need to calm down we will get a demo eventually but not right now. Its too early for it maybe after 1-2 months. It seems long but after watching this video hopefully you will calm down. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txtq29e7KQo

Because even idiots know that when it comes to Batman Cartoons/Games that Conroy, Sorkin and Hamill are the way to go and that Paul Dini is one of the best writers around...that doesn't really prove they care about the fans...i mean I see your point but that's not the best example

Terminator yes. I wouldn't touch Transformers 2 with a 100 foot pole. But yes there are things to pass the time like the Green Lantern animated movie which supposedly comes out in June, the Ghostbusters game, Prototype, InFamous, Watchmen on DVD/Blu Ray in July, Halloween 2 (I liked the first one) in August, etc. etc.

Please, there are loads of people who don't know who Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill or Arleen Sorkin are. Nor who Paul Dini are. These can go to the category of "fans thru nolan serie". It is a good example if you ask me. Also why bother getting Jim Lee's wildstorm comic to do character designs when they could just make their own? Why did they bother to make all the "True to the Batman" if they just wanted an easy buck out of this? They could have just made this a beat em up game or a MGS-Copy with not much detective stuff or gadgets.

Cause some of you guys are blindly making excuses for a company that is mis treating fans. Even when Smash Bros was delayed they still gave daily updates on what was going on with the game. And that game has far more content than AA. Eidoes can't even do that? Give me a break.
Drazar
05-17-2009, 01:03 PM
Only thing Brawl gave away was basicly characters. How are they mistreating fans when they are making it out more for the public, polishing the game and so forth? Giving exclusive content to different sites and magazines (like every other company) and so forth. Honestly what you do is compare this to a PC Game that never got out Duke Nukem Forever while this game just got a 2-4 month delay, you can't accept that and waste ours and most importantly: your time on crying about something that you will forget in the coming months.
Also how can you claim the game has more content? Sure the longevity is possible due to online multiplayer, but the story mode wasn't a far stretch at all really, and besides Brawl took 3-4 years to make. (Announced 2005, released 2008) so why are you complaining about a company that is doing the exact same?

Did you even follow the Smash Bros updates? It was more than characters. They updated with online features, what modes, music, trailers and even a list of the music composers. And it was a daily Mon-Fri update. Little things like that go a long way. Sakurai the creator of Smash Bros even updated on the site with an apology and reasons for the delay. Has Eidoes done that? No. Cause this board of fans means nothing to them.
Drazar
05-17-2009, 02:53 PM
We were inforned by Keir about the delay. And honestly what should Eidos give away as info on this game? Super Smash Bros Brawl is a simple fightning game so theres no story elements or surprises ruined by the details, the music was mainly taken from previous character games but it had alot of good composed music. Revealing everything about Batman: Arkham Asylum would just be too spoiling, i mean do you read everything about the story and everything of the game before you play it? Especially when this game is supposingly having a Bioshock alike twists.

November 10th is Modern Warfare 2 dates. New trailer being shown during NBA Eastern finals on May 24th. This and Uncharted will blow this game out of the water at that time of year. Eidoes delays is going to hurt them big time.

Not giving a solid release date, hyping fans up to only delay the game, not giving a demo, sending posters and what not to Gamestops with a June 23rd release date on them. Don't hype fans up and then delay a game that has been worked on for 2 years and was playable (all stated in the new Playstation Mag). If you aren't ready to release a product don't hype people and give false dates. And tell fans what the reason was for the delay and not have mods come on here saying their get answers when they don't.
Drazar
05-17-2009, 03:40 PM
Regarding release date: This happens on alot of companies that are well known, such as Blizzard and Square-enix, do you see their huge final fantasy and Warcraft fanbase whining as much as you do? I doubt it.
The poster release dates are by far not released by game companies with the date, its added by the gamestop themself so they can add their orange text on it, so please don't complain on something you apparently lack the knowledge of, as for example my gamestop showed the release date as May, now was this by Gamestop or Eidos? ;) You should realize it was by gamestop.
Hyping games is always good, and again even Final Fanasy 13 got delayed and that is extremely hyped. And Games take long to take, you don't see Zelda fans, Mario Fans, Warcraft fans, Final Fantasy fans going "how dare you work on a game so long, we demand more games NOW".
Eidos never gave false dates but your just a marketed fool. ;) Sorry to be so rude but this is what you get for whining and trolling on false regards! :P Also Keir already stated the delay was officially announced as: Polishing. Now this is alot better than Square-enix saying "Xbox360 having problems with FF13" don't you think? ;)

The funniest thing about Enop's posts are that he keeps bringing up Brawl. I am a huge Nintendo fan...and you know what I got one day? A phone call telling me the new release for Zelda TP was a year from that moment I received that call! Shortly I found out it would be held back for the launch of Wii...
If you are REALLY a Nintendo fan, which I have been for over 18 years...You should not be affected by a small delay. I am guessing though that you are a kid that hasn't even liked video games that long. Because you sure are acting like one...

Stop being so bitter and selfish. You're not the only one that was looking forward to the game. We WILL get our game, just not yet. Would you rather have a good game, with a few minor issues or an excellent game with very very little issues that is polished to near perfection?
I know which one I'd rather have. And besides, it's not like the game has been delayed for six months.

This is clearly one of the first games you've waited for, Delays and small snippets of info are common in games.
GTA IV: One of the Biggest selling games of all time,
-Original Release date : October
-Released after Delay : April
6 Months. That didnt exactly sell badly did it
This is being delayed for half that time and you're still complaining.
And dont say "Yeah But thats GTA, it already has a huge fan base"
Because im sure you're aware how much longer batman has been around, im sure you're aware of how well the Dark Knight did.
Games have been delayed before and dates have to be changed, it happens, now stop Crying about it and get over it.
