Just played through it, this seems like a definite game to get.

If you have a pc with a physx card get that. You can use the xbox controller on the pc.

I was about to make a thread about this game also, talk about flying under the radar. Demo sold me on the game.

I do indeed

Question re: the 360 controller, how do I get it to connect to my PC? I'm assuming I would need some kind of hardware to get the two to talk?

This is one of the reasons I traded in my console version of Mirror's Edge as well. One day I'd like to run through it again with beefed up graphical touches.

I think you do need an adapter for the xbox controller.

i believe you can also buy the receiver seperately.

Thanks for the heads up. I have been looking forward to this game for months now. Downloading it now for the 360.

Inferno · 08-07-2009, 09:11 PM

I played the demo and liked it but I'm not a big enough Batman fan to buy it. I'll definitely rent it though.

Russic · 08-07-2009, 09:34 PM

I had very low expectations, but now that I've played through it I'm questioning if I'm going to pick it up. I would have thought there was a 2% chance of me thinking that way before hand, but I was really impressed.

Just buy a wired controller and plug it in.

Good luck finding the wireless PC adapter for the xbox controller. I went to 4 different stores and eventually found it at a Circuit City/Radio shack.

But if you can find one, u can hook 4 controllers up to the PC, which is awesome if u got it as a MAME box and TV out.

Back on topic.. this game looks fricken wicked, i've been waiting for it since i saw the first screens.

GoinAllTheWay · 08-08-2009, 11:30 AM

Not a bad game. Downloaded the demo for both pc and 360 and it certainly looks better on the PC although for some reason I seemed to enjoy the actual fighting more on the 360.

Not sure I would buy it but fun demo. I have to try out Prototype too.

Yeah_Baby · 08-08-2009, 11:33 AM

When I get around to the playing the demo I'll post my thoughts. But the fact that Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy kind of geeks me up.

Edit: Is it August 25th yet? I'm thoroughly impressed.

ps I like Harley Quinn's new costume. "Meester J" is a lucky guy.

I have played the Batman demo and the full Prototype game. The Batman demo was way better than Prototype. Prototype sucks, it gets boring in 2 hours.

There's a "Play as The Joker" mode exclusively for the PS3 as well according to the commercial I saw today.
