Hm. This preview is a bit worrisome. ;/

Maybe they were playing it incorrectly, because both of them said that the gameplay was very simplistic and a bit of a let down. A lot of other previews have said that it has a lot of complexity, and I also got that impression from the demo. If you've seen the other previews and have played the demo, do you agree with them, or do you think they weren't playing it as they should have?

[Ensanguined Walls]

Here's another preview:

BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM - Imagine playing those old 2D beat’em up games, where you mash buttons and pulverize everybody in sight. This game was kind of like that, just in 3D. There’s a bit of puzzle solving going on, finding a place to use your batarang or grappling hook, etc. But for the most part, it seemed pretty simple. The graphics were awesome. It’s fun, but I was drawn to it mostly just because it’s Batman.

He said he only played it for five minutes. He probablly just played the combat modes and not the demo (since that was the aspect he was focusing on greatly).

[The Hylden]

I think that I don't even know this company to care, lol. Seriously, the game is clearly NOT a 3D beat'em'up, like the guys says in the first two seconds of the preview. That negates the entire rest of his and their statements, as far as I am concerned. From what we've heard from the reputable sources already, you don't just go X,X,X,X,then Y, and you're done, so you shouldn't even listen to people who say such.

[whiston532]

Honestly, it's Screwattack. AVGN is funny, but he isn't someone you should take seriously. Didn't see the video cause I'm on my touch but I can assume I don't really want to. If everyone else is saying great things about it and two guys say differant I'd have to stick with everyone else. Stick to the humorous reviews of games so old nobody cares about them anymore.

Seems simple? Are they wanting one of those overcomplicated fighting systems with 25 button long combos where you push A, B,A,X,Y,X,X,Y,X,Y to fight?

[Ensanguined Walls]

Here's another preview submitted today:

The gameplay is intuitive, and works great. I didn’t get to try out any of the special Joker challenges that will be available exclusively to PS3 owners later this year, but from what I played of the actual game, I was very pleased. In fact, I didn’t want to leave the console, but was dragged away by Coop because we had another appointment. Everything about it, from the characters to the design of the asylum, just screams Batman, the way fans have always wanted it. For years, we’ve been asking why no one could make a good Batman game; it looks like we might finally have it.

The other two above were the ONLY average ones I could find. The others were very positive.

[PeaceTree]

those guys have no idea what there talking about. he said that the joker has a slashed mouth, and sound like the joker from MK vs DC. they are totally off. after play the demo from game stop the free flow combat is alot more in depth than they make it out to be. first of all its allot harder to keep your combo multiplier going than just bashing the X button and theirs some strategy to it you can do throws and take downs as well as counters. it seems that thies guys didnt only played the challenge maps and didnt even touch the invisible preditor mode at all.. not a very good review

[whiston532]

For those unfamiliar with Screwattack let me put it in perspective. Basing a game of their reviews is like writing a school paper using facts from Southpark, it deals with the topic but don't base any of your opinions on it.

AVGN is one of those guys who's game reviews are purley made for comedy, he drinks frequently, and swears to a point where it gets uncomfortable.

Long story short, don't let this affect you in any way.

Here's another preview from today:

Batman Arkham Asylum's E3 demo, which has seen a major PR and advertising blitz at this show, delivers on the hype as a highly polished action brawler. Eidos did an exemplary job getting across the raw power and grittiness of Batman as a character: This is a combat game that makes it truly feel as if you’re kicking butt, not just controlling tiny figures on a screen and knocking some down. Batman’s punches land with satisfyingly brutal sound effects, and a camera that automatically zooms in and slows down time helps ramp up the perception of raw oomf in each hit. Combine that with some of the best graphics we’ve ever seen from a movie game, including impeccable detail in all of the characters, right down to the flow in Batman’s cape, and you have a game that’s as pretty to watch as it is fun to play.

[whiston532]

You know what. SCREW screwattack

I agree, while I am a fan of them. They realy arnt the people you go to for reliable, helpful reviews. You watch them for a laugh, then go to sonewherw else to read the reviews.

[Ensanguined Walls]

I wasn't sure of ScrewAttack's credibility, so I was curious to see what everyone here thought.

[NotNamedJohn]

Well, a guy I know at Zentendo.com got to play the demo while at E3, and he sounded really impressed about it. These guys aren't that excited about it though... and virtually all the other video game news editors I know of or have talked to are really excited about this.

I'm gonna have to say ScrewAttack is not what most other people will think about the game. I mean, I played the challenge room demo at Target and simplistic though it may be, it is far from button mashing. It's got a lot of depth to it. I've also gotta say that they made absolutely no mention of gadgets, stealth, detective mode, or anything else, which just seems flat-out weird to me.

[Ensanguined Walls]

Here's another preview from today:

Played a little of the PS3 version of Batman: Arkam Asylum today and for the first time I feel like I got cheated on the amount of play time I was given in a demo. I fiddled with the game for maybe 4 minutes and then the “times up” screen popped in telling me to hurry out and get the game when it drops at the end of summer 2009! Not to sure if I’ll be doing that, thanks.

Mind you this was a demo (for all I know there will be rocket launchers in the final product) but they seemed to focus the game on the — I don’t know what you call them, “Survival rooms”? The mode that seems to be all the rage right now, am I right? Gears 2, CODWAW, L4D and now Batman has his own high score, wave-after-wave mode.

Anyways, you are tasked to beat up the five of the weakest imnates from the ‘Generic as Hell -Looking Prisoner Block’ while dodging attacks and stringing together combos/bonus strikes to get a high score. I watched another person play the demo before I got to it and this guy handled **** like he was Batman; pulling off amazing combos and the coolest slo-mo karate I’ve seen in a game yet. This guy made the fight look like a ballet of combat. Rad, I thought. Then try it out and I was that good too, right from the get go. The game is dreadfuly simple, the mob fights are basically extended QTEs with minor penalties for missed button presses. If you get hit you just lose some health, but the fight continues. I could have played this game with one hand, and by the time tha demo was over I was left with a feeling that this game might not be something I’ll be picking up if the majority of the game is just 1 vs 20 in a bunch of different rooms with a boss fight every 40 minutes.

Of course, there is the whole detective angle, the stealth/tactical aspect and the story to consider when the full game comes out — so I withold final judgement until then. Like I said, I just played the demo… and demo is not too hot right now.

[CaptainMcMulla]

Ensanguined Walls the preview king. Nice find again

[metalhead_dave]

The Nerd obviously doesn't understand the gameplay if he only played 5 minutes of it. Neither did I really when I first played the demo. At a glance, it seems very simple and easy to get into. It took me about a week before I understood the timing and methodical approach to the combat.

There is a major difference between picking up the controller for the first time(which was very fun) and fighting like Batman. And the Nerd isn't fighting like Batman yet.

[The Hylden]

Can you stop worrying, please?:p geeze. Every article that any hack comes up with is gonna be posted now??

[whiston532]

This topic reminds me of a stand up comedians routine where he said that a movie was so bad that they would have to get really obscure reviews to put in the comercials. Ie: Chings Chinese Restaraunt gives it 2 thumbs up.

Were gonna have people posting reviews by everone and their dog.

[Ensanguined Walls]

Hopefully, they only have these views because it was simply a combat demo. However, if they didn't like the mechanics of the combat, which features heavily throughout the game, I'm assuming that the other aspects of the gameplay will sway them.

Where did you get this review? Are they all from Screw attack?

[Ensanguined Walls]

Where did you get this review? Are they all from Screw attack?

Nope. It was from another website previewing E3 games.

[whiston532]

Nope. It was from another website previewing E3 games.

Screwattack.ca

[Black Mask]

Hmm... Concerning the first preview...

Joker... slashed mouth? Erm, it's makeup... And to say it looks like all the Jokers combined... I don't think they've even READ the comics, cause the Jokers in the movies were based off of the COMICS! I think a lot of people forget that... My brother thinks the movies came first and refuses to hear otherwise....

Gameplay... simplistic? I dunno about that. Fighting in a lot of games is simplistic... Even if it;s just a few buttons, at least it's not just one button action...

[WarrENDeatH]

This is a bit upsetting. This is the E3 demo of course and the game still has almost 3 months till it's released but theres not much they can do in that time. I hope this is just peoples laziness and unwilling ability to get past fighting inmates for a long period of time.

[Lunar]

A lot of other previews have said that it has a lot of complexity, and I also got that impression from the demo. If you've seen the other previews and have played the demo, do you agree with them, or do you think they weren't playing it as they should have?I for one is getting the game but when I played the demo it was kinda boring Batman doing these moves, I felt I was playing Rorschach in that new DLC for xbox. My honest opinion.

[Lunar]

When i saw the E3 demo I was amazed, I just think the Challenge Maps will get boring. Unless you can buy moves or something.

[Abeja]

The demo was really simple, it looks like the full version has alot more moves. I liked the freeflow alot.

[DarkCrusader67]

F'ING DUCHEBAGELS!!! don't know what they're talking about!

[Ryuuie]

I honestly don't know why people are bashing this guy for his opinion. You can tell from his body language that he's completely serious and not trying to be funny.

Anyway, I can see where he's coming from. If you play the PS3 kiosk demo, I mean REALLY play it and analyze it, do you think it'd be something you'd come back and play over and over until the full game comes? I don't think so. About the controls, I didn't really find myself alternating between X and Triangle like I do on other brawler games (yes, this is a BRAWLER with stealth) but it was mostly X all the way. X and jumping around.

We may be fans of Batman but bashing someone because they didn't like what they played makes us fanboys (and maybe a few fangirls) and that's not cool at all. I for one am ready to accept this game probably has the same flaws most modern games have: Repetition, button mashing, and being too easy. Does that mean I'll hate the game and wish I never bought it? Probably not. It just means I've accepted that it won't be the OMG WTF YAY Batman game as it's being hyped to be, it'll just be a very good Batman game.

Simply put: The game will probably be good, the Challenge Maps WILL probably get boring, and you'll still probably have fun. Others won't have fun with this game, deal with it.

[Amputechture]

It is a little more complex...but what is complex fighting to you? Because I play Street Fighter adequately and Batman is no Street Fighter...nor do I want it to be.

Just be realistic folks...will the fighting be THAT complex? Doubtful...just comes down to timing. There is not much thought involved. But still, you can't just mash buttons like in one of the quarter-munching arcades of time past...

In honesty, what drew me to the game are the Stealth elements and the Story...but the fighting is still awesome!

I agree. Some people didn't like BioShock, Fallout 3, MGS4, etc. It doesn't mean they aren't exceptional games - it simply means that one game isn't everyone's cup of tea. However, this game does have adventure elements, too. It's not simply a brawler. There are also many puzzles and elements.

I thought the combat was fairly complex. Knowing that the full game will have upgradable gadgets and such, I know it will have a lot more variety outside of the demo. Also, the Challenge Maps probably won't become boring as an add-on: 16 for Batman, 8 for the Joker, and the promise of more villain maps to come?

[WarrENDeatH]

Yeah and it would be nice for Eidos and Rocksteady to atleast nod their head at future DLC. I'm sorry but you can't release a game on todays market and not have a promiss of future DLC. Games last so much longer with newer content.

I think the positives outweigh the negatives, or am I wrong ?

We don't know for sure until we play the game ourselves. But claiming it'll be the best game EVER based on Batman is very far-fetched right now.

The game could be AWESOME in previews, but when it RTMs, it could suck. Either that, or someone's getting paid to say such nice things so early on as to raise hype (not saying Eidos is doing it, but it does happen).

[WarrENDeatH]

Thanks, Mani-Man for the picture I haven't seen that yet but that is good enough of an answer for me.

[metalhead_dave]

Not really... can you think of one Batman game that was really good? Vengence was okay, Dark Tomorrow sucks, Sin Tsu was good but one dimensional, and Batman Begins was only decent. And none of them really felt like you were Batman.

In my times of playing the demo I can personally say that it alone is 10 times better than those games. That combat is really fun, easy to get into, yet very complex, and it's just much more enjoyable than the previous games.


The bar for Batman games has been set very low. So saying Batman Arkham Asylum is the best Batman game really isn't that far fetched.

It is if you haven't played it. I mean, you can say that Batman Begins was awesome BEFORE it came out....then it came out and...well, you know. Going by that logic, every Batman game is awesome before it releases, then it falls flat.

I agree. Everyone I know is in love with Halo and Fallout 3. I hate those games. Never really loved first person shooters to start with so Halo didn't stand a chance with me (Except for Left 4 Dead. That game is the bomb) and I couldn't get drawn into Fallout 3. Got past a few towns and pretty much got up from my chair and said, "You know what? F*** dad! I don't even like the guy enough to ask him about that stupid test I had to take to get stat boosts. Why the hell am I chasing him around this wasteland?" :lol: I played both for about 3 hours and zero joy. It's all a matter of taste.

Oh yeah, I don't like Final Fantasy either. Love the CG cutscenes though. Very awe inspiring. I wasn't going to throw that up there for the fear of the millions of loyal fans chasing me down the street with huge 7 foot swords riding red not-quite-tigers, but then I remembered this is the internet. That and I can run away in real time not turn based. Do your worst! :D

[ineedrevelation]

I actually played the demo about 3 weeks ago and that game was awsome. I just played the fighting demo where Batman was kicking everyone's ACE around him and it felt fantastic. I don't know what those two hand-jobs are talking about in that video. ("They look like Mortal Kombat vs DC.") WTF?

I'm not sensitive but I won't tolerate people using differences as a matter of expression. You wouldn't go around the thread saying this game looks (insert any racial slur, ethnic slur). Just the same as the word 'gay'. It's immature and shows ignorance.


And, I'm not gay. I just won't tolerate people smashing on peoples Civil Rights.

It is if you haven't played it. I mean, you can say that Batman Begins was awesome BEFORE it came out....then it came out and...well, you know. Going by that logic, every Batman game is awesome before it releases, then it falls flat.


But I never actually played a demo of BB before it came out or any other Batman game up until Arkham Asylum. All I saw were screenshots and videos. Hell... I didn't even see any hype for Vengence, I just saw it on the shelf one day, bought it and played it.

But I did play the Arkham Asylum demo and I'm saying the gameplay of that one Arkham Asylum demo, beats out the previous games in every aspect of gameplay. Plus the gameplay is a hell of a lot more addicting.
So yes, I'll still say Arkham Asylum is probably the best Batman game yet, just for the combat alone.

I never said it would be perfect. It just plays leaps and bounds better than the other games. How bout we compromise, Batman Arkham Asylum's demo is the best Batman gameplay experience yet. Unless you enjoyed any of the other games, which they were enjoyable.

Nah, not between you an' me. I meant the others. lol

Well, the far majority of the videogame press are very impressed with how this game came along. Not only is it gonna be the best Batman game yet, it's shaping up to be a GOTY contender. And such a thing said for a licensed game says volumes about this game.

I'm fully aware that this game won't please everyone, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but one jeporadizes his or her credibility by calling it a quick-time event (seriously?) and a button-masher ( I've seen vids of people button-mashing, and they didn't fare well at all) plus, saying that the whole game revolves solely on the combat says they didn't research much about this game at all.

I have to take back what I said about Southpark. Comparing Screw Attack to it would imply thatSA has sublty to it. It's more like Family Guy, it makes jokes and nothing else, yet the people involved in it feel like it's something it's not. I feel bad saying this cause I'm a fan of SA, but they are not anywhere near being as reliabe for reviews as other sources

Here's a new preview. They said they were very impressed, but they did have one complaint:

There are portions of the game where you are able to sneak up and take out an enemy quietly so you don't alert the rest of the crazies in the area. Really easy to do. Crouch and walk behind them and press Triangle, PS3 version. Not to bad, except that the enemies around the person you are sneak attacking don't react. Even when you do it in direct sight of them. They even don't react when crouched and sneaking up to someone directly in front of them. Which made it easy to sap a lot of the inmates, but where is the realism? I know he's Batman, but when I have a gun and his back is to me, I take the shot. He totally wouldn't be able to dodge. That didn't make sense to me at all.

I hope this has been amended.

It probably will be, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
