    Anyone excited by this game at all? I think that it definitely looks more interesting than the main console counterparts which seems like more of the same. I think the 2.5D perspective will refresh the Arkham feel just enough to keep me interested in buying it for my Vita.

    Very excited for the Vita/3DS version.

    The others....not so much (or at all).

    Edit: Didn't realize this was specifically for the Vita/3DS version.

    My sentiments remain true.

    I'd be super excited if I could play it. But I can't.

    Yep, looks great. I think it was Patrick who was talking about it at one of the E3 podcast. He said it looked really interesting but a little "janky" i think was the word he used. I wish he would have been a little more descriptive but I guess being an E3 build he didn't want to harp on technical problems that may or may not be in the game.

    I've been thinking more about picking up a Vita lately (still love me PSP), and games like this are why. Looks pretty damn cool.

    I'm definitely interested (mainly because I'm in need of a new Vita game) but I really want to know how it plays before I decide. I've seen screenshots and they look promising, but I don't know how well the Arkham combat system would work on a 2.5D plane. Were there any stage demos on E3?

    Much more so than the console/PC openworldy version. Loved Asylum but City did nothing for me.

    This was the best non-blurry/shit quality video I could find.

    @craigymail: Thanks! It does look a little janky but I hope it'll turn out to be a good game.
