I already posted this but i will copy paste it fore you as u cant be bothered to look in the event thread lol

Ok well i just got in and what can i say. It started off with a quick rundown about the game. But anyone that is on this sight should already know that by now.

The presentation was playing on a great big HD projection screen. Ian really knew his stuff. While making it look like he was new too the game he truely kicked some ass at it. Nothing really to report they didn't show off much story just about rescuing some doctors No new gagets to talk about.

Then we had a QnA with Sir Steffon. I asked a few questions. About Free roaming at the end of the game and Damage to batmans suit. ( if anyone wants to put a face to my name )

Then we got some hands on. Frist off i jumped onto a 360 and played the E3 demo. I Don't think i need to talk to much about this as people should have already seen the videos. I Skipped most of the cutsceens just to get too some action. Only bad points were that it felt like i was rushing as there was a Sea of people behind me waiting to play. This is a game you really need to sit down and take your time over. Imagin playing Splinter Cell for the first time with 40 people standing behind you waiting to play. Your going to rush and make mistakes.

Then i moved over too the PS3 where it seems a lot quiter so i had time to do things propper. I jumped into a game of Silent Predator. So soon as it booted up i tryed to do something and the controls were diffrent from the 360 version so i had to relearn the, ( only the shoulder buttons .. they seems to be mapped diffrently IMO 360 were a better layout )

I wont go into too much detail but i did do something really funny. Zipped up ontop of a gargoyle. Theres a move you can do where you can hang from underneeth the gargoyle grab a thug and take up back ontop of the gargoyle attach a rope to him and drop him. After doing that i zipped to the otherside of the room as his mates were coming to see what was going on. Once they got into place i threw a batarang at the rope to my surpise cut and dropped the thug ontop of his mates.

After that my mate played as the joker. While its nothing more of a reskin with a diffrent move set and gagets. Although it was funny to watch. It defently seems worth getting the ps3 version as its free. Steffon did say to his knowlage Joker is PS3 only and will stay that way forever.
I did notice a few glitches on the presentation but really how could you miss batman doing a round house kick 2 feet above a thugs head to then have the thug take a slow mo dive. Also there still seems to be Cape clipping issues. Maybe it was an old build i don't know.

Needless to say i wont be cancelling my collectors edition. But i do have one complaint.

I DIDN'T GET A GOODIE BAG WTF KEIR. I did see Ian outside as i was leaving but he was on his phone and i didn't want to disturb him.

( sorry for spelling mistakes i wrote this once it vanished so i had to do a quick rewrite )

I made this thread so people could talk about it rather than ask to come. anyhow, that thread's filled anyway, so I thought, why not make a new one?

You only receive a bag if you attended the event, which was completely public and, as we have been told, extremely enjoyable. It is not Keir's fault that some of us did not have the means to attend the presentation of Arkham Asylum, but that's exactly how life works.

yeah this^^^ I would have loved to have gone but I had a v. important show I had to play, and i would have loved one of those goodie bags. But unfortunately, thats how life works. The poor bloke who attended the event but didnt get a bag deserves one as he attended the event unlike us (even though we wanted to). Its not Keirs fault we dont have a bag.

No videos were allowed to be produced inside the event, so that's highly unlikely.

I loved it, was great to see the game, Keir and the Dev team!

Shame we didn't plan out too much as to how to find people who were there and meet up, met Keir and introduced him to Zombie-Gamer!
Only knew it was him as Crocker got excited and nabbed him to have a photo taken with him! :D

I know where your coming from ... But what i was getting at is it feels the same. There's nothing diffrent about it. If you get the 360 version just squint you eyes and listen to some joker videos on youtube and you will have same experance.
