Joker exclusive to Arkham Asylum PS3 News
PlayStation 3 PC Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
Eidos has confirmed that The Joker will be an exclusive playable character in the PS3 version of Batman: Arkham Asylum.
He'll be free to download from the PlayStation Store, but will only be playable on the Challenge Maps.
Eidos was unable to tell us what treat may or may not await Xbox 360 owners in response. But we'll let you know what we hear.
That's Batman Asylum, then: a superhero game that might finally live up to its licence. Our recent hands-on impressions can tell you why.
Batman Asylum launches in June on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.

Nightwing! Give us Nightwing! Go on, you know you want to! And it makes loads more sense thematically too, as Gearskin's right, the Joker can't crawl through the rafters and swing off gargoyles.
Anyway: this is quite cool. I like little exclusives on different platforms. Although I also reckon eventually it'll find its way to 360 as a paid-for download. |

Reduced framerate and/or resolution Removal of pesky AA Reduced DLC support due to projected poor sales Awesome! |

I hope the 360 character is farticus, who periodically says comments like "Isn't this so much better than the PS3 version?" and "The frame rate drops in this bit on the PS3 version".
I would so buy a 360 with Batman: AA if that was the case. |

I'm really hoping for a downloadable Adam West Batman outfit, instead of the gritty affair he sports in the game.

@Farticus
Even more facts for you since you like them so much 1) You're a cunt. Deal with it. Don't push it on to others. 2) Have a wash. Must be coming up to your six month turn around? 3) Nope... sorry it's 1) again. You're a cunt. Now please make sure you don't get hit by a bus on the way home tonight it would be such a shame. |

"My 360 is now on eBay. "
lol. i hope that's a joke. There's one of these in every thread now that involves some small offering to PS3 owners. Either jokes or shills. "Hey marketing team, lets make every one think that millions are giving up on 360 by posting on forums. they'll never notice the games actuall selling in he shops" I'm happy to keep hold of it andmake my own mind up what games i get on what paltforms personally.

Ummmm Soul Caliber IV anyone?
Joker is this year's Little Miss Vader... :-P Reskinning the player as an existing character from the game for a specific game mode is not exactly the Lost and Damned... If the PS3 wants to willy wave its DLC/exclusives it needs to start thinking more along the lines of Bioshock and not the Force Unleashed... |

Oh Eidos, even THAT won't make it sell well. Concentrate on making a good game, eh?

Hmm I'm not sure I want to play as Joker, unless he has his own special moves. Killer Croc or Bane might be interesting, if they also had their respective abilities. Nightwing would be awesome too.
" your only weapons are COOL puns " lol, oh god don't remind me of that film.

Enjoy your shoddy port, as almost every multiplat running on the weak-ass PS3 hardware is. |

The PS3 would actually be a fantastic games machine if it wasnt for the way cheaper and better 360 making the PS3 look bad in comparison. Without the 360 on the market the PS3 would have been looked at in a totally different way.
On topic: Im really looking forward to this game with or without a playable Joker. |

Xbox owners will probably get Nightwing, Two-Face, Riddler, Bane, Harley or some other cool character.
PC owners will get Egghead, Crazy Quilt or Killer Moth. |

"Wouldn't it be daft having a Joker skin do what Batman does?"
Yeah, it would take an otherwise believable and realistic situation and reduce it to complete farse ;) All of you calling farticus names need to stop. You are giving him exactly what he wants. If everyone ignores him, he will likely genuinely shed tears. He probably has one off the wrist every time one of you responds to him. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT? |

@Kangarootoo Yeah but seriously, it would look really stupid. Just like it did in The Force Unleashed when you had C3P0 or old Obi Wan leaping around with the mo-cap moves of the Sith apprentice!!

I tend to file that sort of thing either under "a bit of fun" or "one for the fans". Something to add a bit of value after your first playthrough perhaps?
Anyway, I think there is a more important underlying issue here, and that is your assertion that something "looking really stupid" is a bad thing. This is perilous stuff and risks eating into the sense of childish fun that none of us should ever let go of. I order you to buy a ridiculous pair of trousers right now! Unless, like me so often in the past, you already own many pairs but just didn't realise it :( |

Stop doing this people! Get some will power. Silence is your best weapon. Press the damn ignore button and then it isn't even a challenge. |

"Maybe then you will realise what a complete dickhead you have been with all your misinformed comments. "
Reduced framerate and/or resolution Removal of pesky AA Reduced DLC support due to projected poor sales I think youve wrong about him being misinformed as this is actually usually the case. See Face Offs on this very site for more info. No matter how you want to see it. Farticus comment is funny either way. If you feel insulted by hes comment its because you only have a PS3 and know deep inside he might be right. Btw he is.

"Farticus comment is funny either way"
I can only imagine what he actually wrote, but from previous pre-ignore history I can only assume you have incredibly low standards for comedy. This thread is shite. You clowns have turned it away from being about the game and into some kind of farticus reacharound party. He is like your celebrity King, and my having him on ignore is futile 'cos you bloody Heat magazine readers keep summoning up his ghost. /closes door |

I love reading all you insecure little 360 owning cunts whining whenever the PS3 gets one over shitbox. Something which is happening on a daily basis at the moment. I mean, everyone knows that the PS3 is the only console that has any games coming out for it this year, now its getting better DLC than the 360 as well so what have you microsoft loving pricks got to look forward to? Oh yeah! Some new clothes for your mii ripoffs, lmfao. Pathetic.

Another "exclusive" that will undoubtedly turn up on the 360 just as surely as the 360 version will have an "exclusive" [Robin, Nightwing, Azreal, Red Robin etc.] that will be available on the PS3... for a price.
If it's just another "skin" for the main character, ala The Force Unleashed, Prince of Persia etc. then I dare say I'd try the character briefly before switching it back. However, if they made the gameplay different for the Joker, AND if indeed it turned out to be a 100% PS3 exclusive then maybe... just maybe, I'd be tempted to get the PS3 version over the 360 one. Let's face it tho, it's very unlikely... even less likely than a multi-platform game turning out to be better on the PS3. |

Farticus how's things? You've been quiet the past few days. Did the story about how many 360's are being ravaged by the E74 make you hide under your bed again.
Don't worry the extended warranties will make the baddies go away, only to be replaced by a refurbished one. This game looks promising.

lol look at all you kids getting upset over a comment by a guy with the handle "farticusmaximus".

@ monkeywithnoeyes
Why do you assume that all of us are kids and why should I thank him? Because he makes XBox360 owners look like arseholes? No my friend. I don't care how old he or you or anyone is. We are on a messageboard where we can pretend to be everything we want to be. What I don't like are people who behave like him... actually I think nobody likes such people and it doesn't matter what kind of console or whatever kind of job they have. The point is he doesn't even own a PS3 so why should he care? He should enjoy his console of choice and not spend his time lurking around waiting to diss anything positive about PS3 (or XBox360).
