Eidos has stated there is no truth to claims made by British industry insider blog, RamRaider, that it has been fixing Batman: Arkham Asylum review scores.
The RAM Raider:
Batman will have 'second chances' to ensure he doesn't die in Arkham Asylum, according to MTV Multiplayer.
PS3Vault: 'If you've been wondering why you haven't heard anything about a demo for the upcoming and great looking Batman: Arkham Asylum, you can stop wondering. The official forums for the game have a notice that assures us that there will be a demo release at some point. It doesn't give any details, other than the demo being available for PS3, 360 and PC, so we have no date, yet...'
Thousands of gamers, anime fans and cosplayers of widely varying quality descended on ExCel, an exhibition centre in London, for one of the biggest events in the collective industrys' calendar today, the 15th MCM Expo. Running for two days, 23rd May and 24th May 2009, those few Electronic Theatre readers who managed to miss today's show may just have enough time to organise the necessary travelling arrangements, and grab that Bomberman outfit they've been saving for a special occasion.
Several retailers have listed the release of the upcoming stealth action title Batman: Arkham Asylum and its collector's edition on Tuesday, September 1st.
TVGB: "..the delay is real after all, though not as bad as thought. Eidos' PR people just shot over the following message: "Eidos Interactive and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment can today confirm that Batman: Arkham Asylum will be released at the end of summer 2009. This additional time will allow us to ensure Batman: Arkham Asylum is of the highest quality for gamers."
VG247: Eidos has told VG247 this morning that Batman: Arkham Asylum is still on track for its summer release, despite a now widely-reported Game Informer rumour of a slip to Q4.
Game Informer has learned that Eidos Interactive may be keeping its bat in the belfry until the holiday season. According to print advertising and release dates on retail sites, Batman: Arkham Asylum is scheduled to ship on June 23. The game's official website simply lists a summer timeframe. Today sources close to the game told Game Informer that the release date was being pushed until the fourth quarter of 2009.
Those of you who decide to go with the PC version of Arkham Asylum instead of its console counterparts will have to face the peevish gatekeeper of PC gaming: system requirements. Today Eidos revealed what your computer will need in order to throw Batarangs at a decent framerate
