I want this. I want it now.

Question, is that footage from a 360?
The graphics look really good. Was guessing it was next-gen footage.

[WTF]

That looks freaking awesome. Graphically it looks like something the 360 could pull off, but the gameplay etc looked like a blast.

I believe it's pre-alpha PC footage, could be wrong though! This game is going to look really good by the time it comes out -- and frankly, it looks pretty darn close to being ready. Let's hope for an early summer release.

Holy crap this looks awesome. I don't like the Assassin's Creed series because of the combat, but if they have that style with the Batman-type combat like it's showing? Day one purchase for sure.

I feel the arkham style fighting is new standard when it comes to combat in games. Assasins creed does a pretty decent job too, however the simplicity of arkhams fighting and the feeling of satisfaction you get when killing every single enemy is simply the best out there. This is what I've been expecting when it comes to next-gen gaming. This does look a lot like AC but what they are doing with enemy AI is genius. Can't wait to see more.

To me the Batman and AC fighting systems are VERY similar. Almost the same really.

I've only played up to AC2.. I dont know how much it has evolved since but Arkham City had the ability to counter up to 3 guys at once as opposed to AC 2 where guys would stand around waiting their turn to strike individually. To me the combat in arkham city is more fluid and combination based. You had to recognize which button to push at the right time. Required a little more strategy and skill. To me with AC i just held RT the whole time then pressed x to counter then pull off a finishing move. Basically how I killed everyone. Nit picky stuff, but you're right, both are very similar.
