Batman: Arkham Asylum PC Demo Released

August 6, 2009 10:15 PM

PC gamers can now don their digital cape and cowls, as developer Rocksteady has released the demo for Batman: Arkham Asylum.

Grab the 2GB, PhysX-enabled demo now. Do take note that, while the demo supports Nvidia 3D glasses, it does not require them in the least. The demo has already been released on PlayStation 3, and ~~should shortly appear~~ is now available on Xbox Live.

Expect the full game to hit Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on August 25. The PC version has been kicked back to September 15.

  It ran nicely on mine. : ) I didn't find any options to change the graphics in the demo, but it looked good and ran smooth. Nothing short of excellence in this title. I want it for 360, though.

    theres a launcher (before you start the game) that lets you configure the game. I've set mine to medium and ran about 20 fps average...
    It's Unreal Engine. It's pretty tight. Seems well polished for a multiplatformer... I think Rocksteady did a good job here...

  Guys please include your CPU/GPU when you state how it ran, I need to decide which platform to get it for.

    Why not just download the demo and give it a go?

      Your system's very much like mine, though I'm running a 5050e and WinXP 64-bit edition. Good to know I should run this at my CRT's max resolution of 1280*960. :) I'll post impressions as a response to this.
