And buying Uncharted, I'm sure will also come with a 20$ coupon. Its a never ending cycle lol.

I started buying all of my games at K-Mart a few months ago. Their gaming coupon deals are so good, I can't think of any reason to buy anywhere else. Too bad they're not doing well - enjoy it while it lasts!

New villain confirmed by the community manager Sarah Wellock.

Spoiler

Rocksteady's very own SarahMay recently confirmed Black Mask will, in fact, be present in Arkham City in a recent Q&A on the recently announced Robin pre-order bonus/DLC.

What does Black Mask's Hideout mean?
Black Mask has a presence in Arkham City

It's not a big surprise but yeah.

If I'm not mistaken, that was confirmed a few months ago already. Still, cool beans. He appears very briefly in the first trailer.

 

[Ephemeris]

Dark souls will hold me over to Arkham city time.

Arkham City copies available early at Times Square TRU event

FML.

 

[Messi]

[MetalGuardian]

[Ken Masters]

what are the prices going to be for all the DLC skins?

 

[Carbonox]

Preordered the Catwoman Steelbook off Amazon for 38 quid. Actually pretty decent price. Also comes with the Earth One skin. Which one is that? The Fatman? If so, son I am disappoint.

The one in the middle. Fatman is from TDKR.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Preordered at Best Buy, will get my copy, the stupid Robin DLC and hopefully pick up Year One Blu-ray too. 18th can't come soon enough.

I really can't wait to see the TAS one in motion.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Possible First Look At Alfred?

 

[hlhbk]

I already have Arkham City added to my Steam account due to the Nvidia deal, but this being my most anticpated game for 2 years I was soft and also preordered it on 360 at gamestop tonight.

[lucius]

I still waiting for an Amazon deal for this game to pop up. If not I guess I will pick it up at Wallmart or Gamestop.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I'm a shitty poet, but perhaps I should do a dramatic reading of someone else's poem. They are awesome.

Newegg shipping this to me for $47 flat, Im pretty happy lol

New Catwoman gameplay (Start: 1:55) - Challenge map

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x55fdkdkB38#t=1m50s

Needs more variation bonus. Did he never compete in the AA challenge rooms?

 

[Mikeside]

Try writing something anyway - even a bad poem with a good reading will be awesome.
Especially if you read it in a batman voice!

Seriously, we need more entries people. I only have 6 in my inbox.

 

[bengraven]

This is going to be the best comic book game ever.

I'm glad the brother-in-law has this preordered for PS3 because the wait until November was going to be painful.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

I wish they did an Adam West barman skin.

 

[Carbonox]

The one in the middle. Fatman is from TDKR.

Fuck yeah, then. Love the Earth One costume.

 

[daxter01]

I like to play this on my new rig but I cant wait till November dammmit

 

[Varth]

They put the counter icons in hard difficulty? Why? That was part of what made that difficulty worth playing.

It's still pleasantly challenging if you try to play it for maximum bonus, don't worry (even for one who finished all the callenge maps in AA). But yeah, it surprised me too. Really hope they would patch in a separate setting for that to maximise immersion in the game.

New Game+ doesn't have counter icons.

I'd like to point out that those goons kicking him around look a awful lot like the ones

Spoiler

Ra al ghul

carries around and not basic SWAT police.

 

[Varth]

New Game+ doesn't have counter icons.

Yep, I know. Just saying that I wish people could choose to play this the first time with no icons on the level they want to, even if I undestand the concept of wanting people to enjoy the story the first time and the challenge for the second playtrough.

When is the due date for this?

 

[PaulLFC]

Here's a screenshot of the PC 'Early Access' entry in the Steam registry. Hopefully we get more info on this soon:

 

[augmental]

Having looked over the collector edition again I am thinking of just going regular edition and getting the Arkham City comic hardcover that also comes out the 18th. The Amazon preorder 'gift' is pretty worthless now that the hardcover is coming and will include the digital minis.

But not as much as they look like the Tyger Guard PMC soldiers that Hugo Strange has recruited to secure Arkham City...

Tyger=League of Assassins? =O

Bet on it. Maybe.

 

[Mikeside]

Monday 6pm BST

 

[The Nature Roy]

Yeah, that's the one. The poor dude.

Spoiler

Tyger=League of Assassins? =O

Bet on it. Maybe.

I'm thinking probably not... The first Arkham City prequel digital comic showed how Strange screens, recruits, and indoctrinates Tyger guard soldiers individually in order to build his own private army. For example, the one showed in the comic was an ex-Navy SEAL.

 

[nomis]

Is the Batman Beyond suit a preorder bonus somewhere, or paid DLC?

 

[Diseased Yak]

Who is getting the PS3 Collector version?

I am, had it preordered for a while now.

 

[abundant]

Preorder bonus, but they have said that all the skins + Robin will be released as DLC at some point.

 

[Massive Nights]

Is the Batman Beyond suit a preorder bonus somewhere, or paid DLC?

It's in the first post. Apparently it will become DLC after a while.

BATMAN BEYOND SKIN

UK - GAMESTOP
GERMANY - MULLER GE PLAYART AUSTRIA

[Nori Chan]

I would totally want the steel case edition.

I'm on the verge of getting the collector's edition. But I really don't want the statue.

 

[LeonSKennedy90]

I'm getting whatever version allows me to use Dark Knight Returns Batman

 

[DMczaf]

Here's a screenshot of the PC 'Early Access' entry in the Steam registry. Hopefully we get more info on this soon:

I wonder if this has to do with the free Arkham City Steam codes from Nvidia. My card says the game will be available for download on October 18th.

 

[Ephemeris]

Collector's Edition in the US. Wish I had earth one at launch over here

 

[PaulLFC]

Since I got a code from IamMikeside, all I can say to this is, I hope so! Just checked my nvidia email, mine says October 21st, which being a Friday would be the day games are usually released over here. Same for the 18th being a Tuesday if you're in the US? Sounds promising for this theory anyway!

 

[Derrick01]

That was likely manufactured before they decided to delay the PC version, though who knows for sure?

Out of all these shitty preorder bonuses getting the game early by preordering the steam version would be the best one

 

[LordAlu]

Not mentioned in the OP, but Robin is available in the UK if you pre-order from GAME or Gamestation.

Double dipping on this game myself - already have the PC one one my list on Steam thanks to purchasing a 560Ti, and will be picking up the 360 one too

 

[Choke on the Magic]

Most probably already know this, but if your in the market for a new GPU I got Batman for free through Nvidia.

 

[Ninja Kn1ght]

I'm torn between the Catwoman Steelbook and the Robin edition. I guess Robin will be DLC later?

 

[Doomrider]

I see... I haven't read the comics yet (waiting for the collected edition), so thanks for the info!
