Here's 17 Minutes (!!!) of Narrated Batman: Arkham Origins Gameplay

The most important takeaway from all of this? You're still totally Batman doing Batman stuff.

Can the people complaining about the framerate be rounded up and removed from the gene pool?

That moment at 6:00 where a narrator tells us it's an exciting, risk filled night night while Batman trains on thugs in the bat cave.

This could use some UI work and some optimization, but I'm interested in a PC version.

Whenever Batman talks in this, all I can hear is Chris Redfield.

Why does only Batman's breath steam up in the Batcave?

@galacticpunt:

That's the point, they're just supposed to sound like

younger version of Mark and Kevins characters. Not radically different and I

would say they nailed it.

Does this look really choppy in places or is the videoplayer just being crappy again?

Also: Why doesn't his mouth move when he's talking to himself, on top of the elevator? Why are all the cops at the briefing standing around in exactly the same pose? Did nobody notice how awkward and unrealistic that looks?

Can the people complaining about the framerate be rounded up and removed from the gene pool?

Why should they? This video is supposed to represent the game in it's best possible light, yet they have these massive framedrops. So they are either incompetent (using a video showing bad performance for PR) or the game simply can't perform any better on the PS3 (which i guess is the version shown). If the latter applies, that's not a good thing... people gonna buy this and are stuck with a game that performs badly.

This has only been 17 minutes of gameplay and had already enough rough spots for me to cringe, so it's save to assume that playing the game for several hours will have way more (and probably worse) moments with really bad fps drops.
