Just beat the first one, working on the riddles and challenges. Really looking forward to this game now.

Completing all of the Riddles is a lot of fun. Some of em' are pretty tough, but it's pretty rewarding. Especially with the Character Bios and the Character Models you unlock.

Yet another game I can't wait to play, loved the first one, the wait is now killing me. Well, at least I'll have Deus Ex next month.

Man, there are literally no games that come out before October that can get my mind off of Arkham City... :cry:

I honestly think this is THE sleeper game of the year. I know a lot of people are really anticipating it, so in that regards it is not a sleeper game so to speak, but the truth of the matter is there are bigger name titles that are being released right around the same time, but I do believe this can very well be the best release out of them all.

To be honest, I had completely forgotten about this game because I got sucked into the BF3 vortex. I only just remembered about this game because I saw this topic!

Just like AA was the sleeper hit the year it came out? That's a fine trend worth following I think. Wish I had the money to get this at release but it will be on sale sooner or later.

In the uk you can get:

Batman - Arkham City (Joker Steelbook Edition) with Tesco Exclusive Joker's Carnival Challenge Map

for just £34.99 when you use a £5 discount code which I snapped up immediately. Loved the first game and this looks like they have actually managed to improve it.

This time next week.... :woot:

Pre-ordered the collectors edition. Loved the first one which i didn't think i would. Looks like they've just ramped up everything in this game. Most developers would have one big character like the Penguin as the main boss for the entire game. Rocksteady are throwing loads at us and i bet there are even more surprises.

Looks like this will be one sequel that really does improve on the original which is very difficult considering how good the first one was. Only other game in recent years can i think that really just completely improved on everything for the sequel was Assassin's Creed II.

I got this game for free (digital download when it comes out) with my NVIDIA graphics card purchase. This looks awesome!

Yeah, that was making me heavily consider picking up the 580, as that is definitely a nice little bonus incentive. Enjoy.(Y)

And when I said sleeper hit, I meant because it is going up against the big boys in a very crowded time, and as such I think it is being overlooked by the casual gaming community. The hardcore gamers know what time it is, and know how good the game is going to be, but I think just casual gamers, well they may not realize how good the game is probably going to be. That is what I meant.

I do have to say though, I have seen more commercials on TV for this game than any of the other games being released, so right there alone perhaps sleeper hit is not the best of terms.

It will be a sleeper. The first was amazing, and this one looks to trump it in every way. But as you mentioned, it is coming out during a time of heavy hitters. I will have to hold out buying it right now, as Dark Souls is providing plenty of game for me. But this will be my next game to buy when I get the money.

Like the first one, I'll probably wait to pick this up. Got a few games I need to work through at the moment and I know that Batman will pull me from them.

And Larry, that's surprising. I think I've seen more BF3/MW3 commercials than anything else. It's fine to say Arkham City can be a sleeper - Skyrim, BF3/MW3, RAGE - all those games are getting more pub than Batman, imo. Going to be tough for GOTY.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      By excalpius · Posted

      >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art

      Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.

      I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
