"The upcoming Batman is said to be running on a new engine, aiming to make their games run more smoothly from this point forward. At this year’s E3, I had an opportunity to view a behind-closed-doors presentation of the game’s first 30 minutes. While I found the game’s story to be intriguing overall, I unfortunately noticed many familiar engine hiccups."

Today though those same Batman tales get enhanced, with some graphical goodies coming about via the new Shadows Edition."
I missed this game first time around, I've heard nothing but good things about it since.
Now that it's been updated I see no reason not to jump in over the holidays - thanks for sharing Neil.
I played both and they are truly great games. I'm sure you'll love the twisting stories too.
I love Telltale games and haven't played Batman as yet - so will be great to get this one!
Will probably end up playing Wolf Among Us and Borderlands Telltale again over the holidays.
Episode 5 of Telltales’ Batman: The Enemy Within is outstanding. The promise of Gotham’s most famous villain has been teased since the end of the first season, and the Joker is something to behold. With your decisions influencing which version of Joker you see, this may be the most compelling episode of the season as well as an indicator of where Telltale’s future games may go.
Telltale's second season of episodic Batman content nears its end with the arrival of Episode 4: What Ails You. This season has released to mixed results, and a great penultimate episode is just what it needs. Let's see if Episode 4 delivers.
I hope it performs well on youtube (chuckles)
I really don't get why they don't just use Unity. UE4 has royalties so maybe that's why they don't go with that, but Unity is royalty-free. It does cost a small subscription fee, but that's nowhere near as expensive as developing and maintaining your own engine
Plus, its technical capabilities are way above what Telltale games usually require. Granted you don't make games like Uncharted with Unity, but narrative games like this would be just fine
