Better hope your not waiting to get this for Christmas cause that game should be in the Antique store next to other outdated software like Gears of War 3 by then. Now back to Mega Man 2 sweet sweet never outdated Mega Man 2.
I like this date. It gives me some time to play Skyrim. I should be ready for a Batman break by then.
This game looks cool, and it got awesome reviews. However.. I just don't think I'll be getting it. I bought Arkham Asylum like a year and a half ago for 10-15 bucks, played it a few times, and haven't touched it since. It was good and all, but it's just not the kind of game I typically spend my time on.
More and more, I find 3rd person action games to be too generic. I have this feeling of having done the same thing over and over and over....

Why do they have to use Physx while it only favours nvidea cards and forces amd users to do it over cpu which doesnt work that well. Physx is usually a sign of a not super crappy but still not superb pc version. Meaning while it may include some small extra effects and isnt to buggy it doesn't scale up all that well.
This game is deserving of a living room sized screen and controller. It's odd, but having the analog stick controlling movement so that you're slowly walking to the edge of the water tower while your cape flaps in the wind and you stalk your prey below... is awesome!
I will eventually get it on PC, because AA looked awesome and I'm sure AC will blow it away, but I think this is a game I will keep going back to in the living room.

@jimmyx: I stopped taking your posts seriously the first time you posted on the site. You can go away now, thanks.
And I would have waited for the PC version, if I had a PC that could run it. Picked it up on Xbox instead.

i don't think there's any need to generalise here, Arkham Asylum was fantastic on PC and so were the physx effects. it was undeniably the best version of the game, and these days that's not a given.
there is pretty much no chance this will be a "not superb" PC version. sorry if you brought an AMD card but that's not rocksteadys fault. also, there would be physx on AMD cards if they would just eat humble pie and pay nvidia to use it, but no, they didn't like that idea. instead it seems they would rather paint nvidia as the bad guy for not giving it to them for free, at the expense of their customers.

i love how at the end of console cycle PC versions become best again :D im pc only gamer and it pisses me off then you get stupid retarded console port not optimised for PC hardware and pc control scheme options.
The reason I skipped the console version was Direct X11 I can't wait to see this in 1920 x 1080 with tessellation enabled.
Fuck YES, this is what I've been waiting for.

I guess you, of all people, would know about being irrelevant, huh?

Fuck the wait and fuck GFWL Skryims out this week. Will get on cheap Steam sale, GFWL is not worth the hassle.

I think there are really two elements to my view:
1. There has been a lot of convergence across game genres this generation. Platforming, action, action adventure, FPS, TPS, even RPGs are all playing more and more alike. There are exceptions, obviously, but, in general, I think the trend is undeniable.
2. Even within this set of genres, a particular approach is dominant both in terms of sales and in terms of games produced. What was fun and innovative with early 3d action games has become borderline ubiquitous.
Contrast this with my favorite genre, strategy. Strategy games are still a genre where there are wide differences even between major releases: turn based vs. real-time vs. mixed (like pausable real-time or games that allow either), grand strategy vs. tactics, strategy meta-game (think of Total War) vs. RPG meta-game (FF Tactics and its brood) vs. no meta-game (Civilization). There are even differences in terms of approach to multiplayer and preferred camera angle.
Still, at least part of this is bias, I do admit. I just wonder if its all bias. /end rant

I can wait a year for the "severely-discounted-GOTY-edition." Learned my lesson the 1st time buying AA day 1.
Now, I'm never buying anything on release especially with DRM + online passes.

Oh dear...someone's comment is missing. I suppose that is the price you pay after being warned not to troll articles about games you have no interest in. Hopefully the lesson sticks.
Can we please ease off more and more -x's popping up?

I actually have it, but I haven't tried it yet. I've heard good things.
In any case, I was speaking to other genres becoming more and more alike in general. Most strategy games are still distinct from other genres, which is increasingly untrue elsewhere.
