Christ the animation in that Arkham City Trailer's alright, isn't it?

[Jumble Cashback]

Just watched the trailer for the new Batman game and I've got to say, I was astounded by how real the characters look.  Perhaps it's because I watched in quite a small viewer, but bloody hell, it looks amazing.  The trailer also reveals the arch-villain for this outing.  Here's a link:  http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/112147-batman-arkham-city-trailer-reveals-villain

done by Blur studios who also recently did the DC online trailer:

Christ, my erection just punched clean through my trousers. Good job Catwoman wasn't in it or I'd have taken my head off.

Hopefully this means a change in art style from the hideous character models used in the first game.

Wow, those are the best graphics I have ever seen. I thought I was watching a video for the first 15 seconds or so

[AsparagusTrevor]

Shitting hell, that's stunning!

[Harpo Speaks]

Is this footage actually going to be in the cut-scenes then?

Amusingly this thread shows as 'Christ the animation' on the forum front page.

[Still Not George]

I'm still getting my breath back after the Mass Effect 3 video.

[Jemble Fred]

Very tasty indeed – even though I don't mind admitting that I've never even heard of Hugo Strange. But hell, it's a CGI ad, so has no bearing on the gameplay. Luckily the gameplay will be more of the same greatness as Arkham Asylum.

[Dead kate moss]

I've given up on gaming for the moment. Let me know if they do a GTA/Sandbox style game featuring Marvel characters a la Marvel Ultimate Alliance.

i really thought i was watching some live action stuff at points in there, stunning. doesn't really have any bearing on how the game's actually gonna turn out but i have faith they'll put it out the bag... anticipation levels at maximum!

[MojoJojo]

Well, Batman fighting some special ops type dudes offeres hope fro a bit more variation in enemies than the first game, which was one of it's weaknesses.

[Glebe]

Wow, very tasty indeed... Hugo Strange sounds like Christopher Lee, don't think it is him, though.

[Still Not George]

The VGAs really have been something this year, haven't they?

[bitesize]

^ yeah some really high profile reveal videos, Batman, Uncharted 3, Mass Effect 3

haven't heard anything about who actually won any awards mind...

I really want to post in here but can't word it in any way that isn't a spoiler for something or someone. Gah.

Know what you mean. Seems weird. Unless rumours are confused.

Well since you at least know what I'm talking about, I was going to say that Hugo Strange being in this game doesn't necessarily preclude him from appearing the film too... if anything, I think it confirms it - Warner Bros. want to make the public more familiar with the character before the film comes out.

Everyone has probably already got this but  Arkham Asylum is £9.99 on Play both for xbox and PS3.

Never played it so looking forward to giving it a go.

Well that doesn't seem like such a big spoiler, but when in Rome.

Spoiler alert

That is quite possible. The counterpoint would be the so called 'Bat embargo' from a few years back, when DC stopped letting Batman villains appear in the Justice League cartoon to avoid clashing with the films and new cartoon The Batman.

First gameplay screenshots are looking pretty tasty:

[samadriel]

That CGI Tony Blair is something else.

[El Unicornio, mang]

Wow, it's like you're actually there in that....not sure, think it's a disused warehouse or something
