The walls in that game were so damn shiny especially in the medical ward that was just insane. Wish they would have just build their own engine or hell use some other 3rd party engine the unreal engine is outdated and used to much even though batman is one of the better games that uses it vaseline walls are a no no.

Not a suprise, but they seem to be very good with it not many devs can actually make the UE look as good as it did especially on the ps3.

I hope they improve the visuals over the first game, but only because that's what we expect in a sequel!

?

Batman AA is one of the better looking games that use the Unreal Engine. At least I won't have to worry about poor PC optimization. I haven't upgraded my computer in quite some time and don't plan to. I don't remember anyone complaining about the graphics though, so this isn't a surprise.

Preordered yesterday Batman Arkham Asylum 1
liked the demo:D

All I remember about that game's visuals was how shiny some surfaces looked.

Well ,.. that is a dumb statement,..They have all the assets,.. I am sure it will be updated and will look better,.. It was not that bad, considering they used unreal,..best looking game on unreal engine this gen,..vaseline blocky engine,.

Good, UE3 runs incredibly well. I was just testing UT3 in fraps and it's tied with Batman AA for best looking UE3 game

That's with 32AA...

Physics was a killer in Batman AA though, I have to wonder whether it's worth the performance hit, especially when I've seen cpu physics better than any GPU physx effects... Mirrors Edge still has the best looking physx in my opinion.

But besides that, Batman AA was a good game even without the graphics. I liked the boss fights, the exploration could be a bit tedious though. The levels with Scarecrow... that $#!+ was some of best art design I've seen in a game

Unreal is the best most versatile engine this gen just gets better i hope batman isnt set in arkam asylum again seems a little stupid .

Is the best looking Unreal Engine game on consoles in my opinion. I dont mind the character models. My only issue with the game was the fact that i was constantly in that xray mode thing...like 80% of the time. Great game....One of my sleeper hits. Ill also say that it rejuvenated my faith in the Unreal Engine. Less dedicated and or less talented devs were over-saturating the market with weaker games using the UE. Kudos to Rock Steady for showing people that devs over than epic to push the engine

Unreal Engine or not, I'm sure AA2 will be every bit as good as the first game, maybe even better. :)

makes sense. i rather they concentrate on anything else other than graphics. there's nothing wrong with using the unreal engine 3 to begin with, since it's still quite good. if they were to transfer to a new engine, it means a lot of things have to be done from scratch, plus bigger budget. i would rather the budget go to hiring great voice actors, and better level designs (not implying batman aa has lousy level design here). just add some upgrade to the current engine, and all will be good.

I don't care.

I WANT THIS GAME RIGHT NOW!!!!!

please release a new trailer :)

any1 notice that the batlogo at the end of the trailer has changed possibly hinting at a new suit..... i hope they have more unlockables especially costumes, and that you can actually use them in the main game..

Batman AA2 will flop like Bioshock 2 unless they situate the game in a differed environment, like Wayne enterprises or Wayne Manor. I don't want to spend more time in the same atmosphere, I played Batman AA 3 times! I'm sick of Arkham Asylum.

out of topic but i would like to see rocksteady developing hitman 5

I hate the Unreal Engine. There's always terrible texture pop-in and lots of frame rate issues. And the faces Arkham Asylum were downright scary, with the exception of Batman and The Joker.
