The demo was awesome Im buying! i have lots of hope for this game it would be one of the best of all time no doubt.

 

[digitalrurouni]

yeah seriously I agree with you. I am playing it maxed out including physics at 2560 x1600 and 8x aa and it is absolutely stunning. Worth a preorder methinks!

great demo, really liked it.

played it in slow motion..... seems like fun, just not at 8 f/s
need to update my gfx drivers, i guess, but the nVidia site has issues right now.

 

[digitalrurouni]

Yeah the game is pretty heavy on the system. The recommended WEI as an example is 5.0!

the pc controls suck eggs. thank bestbuy for 360 controller

as far as performance. probably will be better (for me) in the retail game. demos never really seem to justify how a game will run on any given machine. for instance, the fear2 demo ran like dog**** on my pc, but the retail game (w/ update patch, of course) runs smooth as silk. we'll see

The game ran at a solid 60FPS for me -

then for S&G's I tried it with full PhysX - not so solid then (not surprisingly )

 

[digitalrurouni]

Its all about the resolution...fps dont matter. what res were you guys running it at?

if we get a benchmar for it that would be better for all of us like sf4 and resident eveil there is benchmark and u can be sure how u can run the game on your pc before coming out 100%

i turned physX off, and had WAY better results. actually playable on the dinosaur, i was shocked
shock: <- like that guy, but cooler) and i remembered to plug my controller in, so it made all the differance

think i'll skip this one though, at least till it's < $30.

it sounds kewl, but one thing that is beginning to irk me - you can only play as the Joker on the PS3 (or, at least that is what the advertisements are saying, for now)....

must be some rumor mill b/s. then it would be called "Joker - Arkham Astlum", would it not?
but then again, sony has a way of f***ing things up....always, usually.

The demo was FANTASTIC! I can't wait for this release. I actually thought the controls using a mouse and keyboard were very easy and intuitive.

I had the graphics maxed out on my ATi 4850. Game looked amazing! I was so bummed when the demo ended on that cliffhanger! I was like "damn you Eidos! You burned me again!" In fact, I was half expecting to get Rick-rolled at the end of the demo!

 

[digitalrurouni]

The comment about the lack of a benchmark is a bit unfounded because the demo + fraps should give you all that you need to see if it would work on your system.

I only have have a 24", so it's paltry 1920x1200

And, yes FPS do matter

 

[holo88]

the game looks awesome on low. i bet on a giant a** monitor w/ a 260gtx (or w/e) it would be almost lifelike...

i dont mind "low" settings in games, it just matters that the game runs imo. (this one does).

actually havent tried playing on 7 yet. i use xp for gaming (for now) till i can .. blah .. blah .. blah .. new computer

 

[digitalrurouni]

Yeah fps does matter I was just being facetious. All I know is it is hard on the system with physx enabled. I can only do 8x AA @ 2560 x 1600 with everything else maxed out.

 

[ShazaM]

The demo was awesome, I played it last night and I put everything on MAX, suprisengly, my 285 churned through the game, it didn't drop below 30fps! PhysX on highest

lol, no, really? And here's me thinking it was just subtle bragging
