North American console audiences will not go wanting for 3D Batman Arkham Asylum action. In an official release blasted this afternoon, publisher Eidos confirmed that the game's Game of the Year Edition, which supports TriOViz 3D on both consoles and ships with the four downloadable Challenge packs, will hit North American shores.
When will it come? Later than the PAL and Australasia editions. Each version of the package -- PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 -- hits NA store shelves on May 11th. The rest of the targeted territories will get there's at an earlier Bat-time: March 26th. Rejoice and get ready to look goofy in those glasses, 3D nerds.

The 3D screen shots of Arkham on NVidia's web site (even with the red/blue glasses) are [u]astounding[/u]! Looks like this will be using the green/magenta glasses which supposedly work better for most people than the red/blue.
I bought the original for the PS3 on day one, but I'll probably be buying this anyway. Of course, I'm not so shallow that I care about what people will think about the glasses.
Have you not seen avatar in 3D.
That just adds to the ways Arkham Asylum and Sly Cooper are similar.
If the glasses looked like barely-darkened sunglasses, then no. Those require a polarized source, and right now polarization is practically non-existant outside of IMAX and theatres. According to the picture, this will require glasses like those that came with "Coraline" - magenta in one eye, green in the other.
@John b: What the hell dude? I didn't see a single person anywhere complaining about the 3D glasses, and while the article mentions looking goofy in them, it's hardly a complaint.
I can't even stand wearing the movie theatre IMAX glasses...and these are worse. It's like it's 1983 all over again (if my memory is right, it was '83 when I had to wear these same kind of cheap ass glasses for both Friday The 13th 3D and Jaws 3D that I saw. (Yeah, they both came out the same summer)
Either make a technology where no glasses are required or pony up to include quality glasses (this is directed at games or movies) or fuck your 3D.
So before John boy or whatever says it's a vanity thing, uh...no. It's a comfort thing. I could care less about looks. I care whether they either stay in place on their own without slipping every so often or (this is the more usual problem with the hard plastic glasses) the frikkin' unconforming earpieces dig into the sides of the head and you have to keep trying to adjust them so you don't have the stupid things stabbing in your head.
What is fine for about ten minutes becomes a bother and distraction...along with the fact the 3D in movies is only okay, it's far from perfect.
But the flimsy kind like it shows Batman coming with, those have always been the ones that never quite fit right. Unless there's something amazingly different about them then every past 3d glasses has had, this is one gimmick I hope dies.
It won't, but I'll keep hoping anyway.
