Confirmed: PS3 Joker Stages are DLC for 360

[Arsh]

At least according to Xbox World 360's Twitter...

http://forums.eidosgames.com/newthre...ewthread&f=257

You've heard The Joker is playable in Arkham Asylum on PS3, right? Those stages are DLC on 360. It's our May covergame; look forward to it.about 8 hours ago from TwitterFox

I didn't post it in the other thread, cause that's like... 9 pages of whatever. Will this quell the uprising?

An admin posted on these forums a while back and said that it's false.

No plans other than what's been confirmed thus far.

Why would a magazine that has AA as it's cover game lie?

[Gho-Gerhowev]

Why would an Eidos admin lie? He said that there are no plans for 360 DLC.

Who is 'you guys'?

Are you referring to 360 owners? Cause I don't have a 360. I'm getting it for PS3.

People really need to get over this (I know I'm probably going to be attacked as soon as this is posted, but too bad).

So, what if Joker turns out to be the PS3-exclusive playable villain?

I'm sure the 360 is going to get someone at the same level like Two-Face or Bane.

Whoever mentioned the Soul Caliber IV situation, comparing it to this one is right on. Each console gets an exclusive villain character (it maketh sense).

Hi Guys & Gals

I just read about this news on Ign I can't wait to play the modes with Joker. And I bet their will be some backlash that nothings been announced for the Xbox 360 but I bet it'll be an exclusivity deal after a few months it'll be on Xbox Live then I bet.

Absolutely.

But hey, if a playable Joker for some odd reason never makes it the 360, I'm sure they'll figure out another top-tier Batman villain to stick in (in fact, they probably have one already planned!)

Actually the soul calibur decision was extremely bad and they made Yoda and Darth Vader DLC for both consoles after 2 months, its extremely bad for exclusive chars on a _fighting_ game that also has internet championship modes. :P But the whole Jedi bar thing was the biggest mistake they did with the jedi characters. Now this exclusive is pretty much like Fallout 3 and GTA4 stuff, its really an interesting take for Eidos to choose the PS3 as the sales for xbox360 is superiour in US and Batman comic sales are the top there. Now i know alot of owners (xbox360) are mad but this is just marketing and thats how it goes. :P

Yeps.

SC IV's exclusive character was done differently but there's a comparison here. The PS3 is more popular worldwide but its pricetag in the US frustrates a lot of people. I got my 40 GB model used. 360 has already had a few exclusive add-ons, like you said, but now it seems its the PS3's turn.

Sadly, angry people are grabbing their pitchforks and torches before they've even played the game. I say wait it out and when everything is released decide which console version tickles your fancy...granting you have both.

I'm actually wondering, if i buy a PS3 next year, will the PS3 exlusive still remain right? I mean this isnt a timed "get this game for ps3 this period of time but if you buy it later youll never get it again" right?

[stoobytoons]

I've already posted this once, but it seems the mods don't even know.

Gamestop's pre-order of the 360 CE allows a downloadable villain challenge map. Look at the site. DLC right there, kids.

360 getting nothing??

I highly doubt it. That would be just BAD business. You aren't fooling me Eidos.

[Joker1017]

Oh, we better the Joker stages too Eidos. Or I'll be pissed. You guys really let me down using console exclusive DLC in the first place.

Yeah but then you'd have to buy the game again as well...

Gamestop exclusive. Rocksteady said earlier on that there would be playable villains so there could be a chance that there is an exclusive villain for the 360. Or there's the possibility that PS3 has more playable villains. Either way, this means nothing without an official announcement or another opportunity for Eidos to let the cat out of the bag.

Precisely!

This is going to be just like Spider-man 3 or Soul Calibur 4. "Exclusive" characters depending on the system doesn't last. The Goblin was a PS3 exclusive and ended up on 360 via DLC. Darth Vader was a PS3 exclusive and ended up on the 360 via DLC. Joker is a PS3 exclusive, seeing a pattern here? Come on folks.

[Joker1017]

Better turn out that way.

[statesman1114]

Ha. Ha ha. Hee. Ho. A-hee ha ha ha ha ho ha heee... They tell admins nothing. The magazine is more truthful.

[Shibby]

Well, considering that this was accidently leaked on PS3 Home; I would assume that it was only part of the story (the PS3 part). So it would make complete sense that there would be exclusive villians for the 360 as well. But this could be all there is, but that would be very saddening.

Oh, and I remember someone saying that PS3 was more popular worldwide... that is incorrect ...the current sales (world wide) are as such: Wii - 44.96 M ; Xbox360 - 28.5 M ; PS3 - 21.3 M

This is as of December 08, and seeing as how by every listing for the past few months the Wii and Xbox360 have been outselling the PS3, I would assume that these are still the current standings. Not that I am a Microsoft or Nintendo fanboy, just that this should be corrected as it is somewhat pertinent.
