Yes I know It's sad but I though I would use some of my bandwidth for a change instead of Nem, so I downloaded both BATMAN demos today.

Both consoles are connected via HDMI at 1080p and both display settings are set to the best they allow. I tried to match the same screen shot each time and the display settings were left the same for all pics.

Pic 'A' always comes first so go take a looksie and click the poll and I'll tell you what console won later on.

I have voted, but separate from that I must say the demo felt very short. There are a lot of cutscenes, which is awesome, but they didn't put much play time in there. Still, it was enough to make me think I definitely need this game.
I initially felt like there was a very linear order you had to take out the goons in a room full of them, but then I played it through a couple more times and found that there were more moves than I'd found first time round, and also you can be sneakier than I'd first thought, so I dispatched them in a different order each time.

Much fun to be had there. Much fun indeed.

And Batman looks frickin' sexeh! That suit is certainly one of the best designed for him, IMO.

Probably got it wrong on the Xbox vs Ps3 stakes but tbh i'm a bit fed up with it all anyway, as it harks back to the Sega vs Nintendo debate of old... for me at least, games are games, no matter how and which console they appear on and this one is (from appearances and gameplay so far) pretty goddam awesome... and as they say, if the bat wants to play... lets play!!!

well..
A was the 360
B was the PS3

When you get to play them both side by side the 360 has far less jaggies but the PS3 has far superior textures when up close, PS3 also has a more realisitc look and as Andy said has better colour depth. Plus the 360 has a better controller ;)

I have to say, I love the demo!

Assuming that it's generally representative, and that the full game reflects the sort of progression and plot that seems likely, it's going to rock!

I was sitting on a gargoyle in detective mode, watching one of the few guys left alive trembling his way down a corridor below me, with a little label that says "terrified". Then he sidled up to a corner and leapt around it, firing blindly into the darkness and yelling in fear.

That alone speaks of a Batman intepretation that I'm going to like.

...does that make me evil? 8-[

Oh - and I agree entirely that a good game is a good game and the current gen of consoles are uniformly awesome. Picking at such tiny specifics seems...petty. Although the 360 controller is massively superior. :)

A. but purely because It seems the contrast is out on B and the lights are softer on A in the Riddler Cell pics. :)

Agreeing with Atyer, Best.Batsuit.Ever. shame the ears aren't shorter :(

I for one, am now quite excited by this, an interesting mix of brawling and stealth action, and the graphics are some of the best I`ve seen on 360.
I particularly enjoyed just hanging off the gargoyles, silently taking down the bad guys, watching them go from "calm" to "terrifed" as they have no idea whats happening.
I hjust hope the full game lives up to this early promise :)

Pro Tip for you guys. When aiming the baterang with the left Trigger hit the Right Shoulder bumper instead of the Right trigger to throw it. you'll get hours of fun out of those 2 buttons. ;)

The slow motion thing, yeah, it's pretty cool. Reminds me of something similar with the glaive thingy in Dark Sector. I'm guessing it's not possible to do some of the funkier stuff in the demo, like using the grapple gun to pull enemies over the edge or hang them upside down.

Still, looking forward to this game, more than any game in a long while. Good reviews from the US, 9 hours seems a little short, but compared to some games not too bad. And, like the Force Unleashed, controlling a cool character always gives replay value.
