The PC version of Batman: Arkham Asylum has been delayed until September 15th in the U.S. and September 18th in Europe. But it's not bad news. The PC version is coming out a little later, but it will support NVIDIA's PhysX, which might give the game an edge over its console brothers.
"Supporting NVIDIA PhysX technology has allowed us to add that little bit extra to the PC version of the game," said Sefton Hill, Game Director at Rocksteady Studios in a statement. "As Batman interacts with the world, the aging asylum creates a more immersive, believable world which really draws the player in"
The PC demo for Arkham Asylum will not be affected -- it's still dropping tomorrow. The PlayStation 3 and 360 versions of the game are still on-schedule for August 25th.
I'm crazy psyched for this game, but even though my PC could support it, I'm going to play it on the PlayStation 3, and not just because it comes out there first. I would much rather kick back on the couch and play a game than sit at my desk: I use my PC for work, pretty much, and my TV for gaming. What about you? Do you prefer to play games on console or PC?

And I'm wondering if the problem is with the Logitech controller.
So far, no profanity. I still don't know what word the G4 software claims was. Also can't seem to reply to another's posts. Sorry, folks.

There appears to be a glitch.

The problem is that "forward" goes backwards and backwards go forwards.

(I'm trying to figure out what "profanity" I'm using, since I don't appear to be using any. So that's why there are multiple postings.
The keyboard controls have it the right way, so I'm wondering if there's an issue. Otherwise, the controls are easy to get used to and the results are satisfying. It's too bad it ends just before the first boss.
Otherwise, I'm looking forward to the full version. I just hope those issues are resolved. It's a good looking game and I still had fun playing the demo.

Played the PC demo, and it's really good. The only problem I have is that they use the XBox controller letters for the buttons instead of numbers like my Logitech control pad has, so it's a bit confusing. There should be an option to adjust the "press (this) to (do this)" screen instructions.

@T_Rexx
I couldnt agree more

the only problem is the PC gamepads dont add the pressure sensitivity that the triggers that console controllers have. (but the over all controls on pc are smother) the console for some reason seems more fluid

I only play on pc. i have a 360 controller for it and games have better graphics on the pc and i play it on a tv. i have tons of games on it and it's just way better. the only thing that sucks is that developers and publishers make crappy ports sometimes or delay the pc version a year. i hate that.

I have an awesome PC rig, yet I still rather my PS3 over it most times. It's just easier to fire up and go.

I prefer console over PC for everything except FPS (no preference for third-person), RTS and MMORPGs - though I've never played a console based MMORPG.

Plug your PC into your HDTV, and use a gamepad.
Problem solved...
Don't blame the PC for not meeting your needs when it can meet them and exceed them... just as easily as a PS3 or Xbox 360.
Why have several specialized boxes with licensing fees all over the place do what one generalized box can?

I prefer to play games on my console instead of my PC. The controller is easier for me to use instead of a keyboard and mouse. I use my PC more for web surfing and for work.

For many games, (RTS and FPS), the mouse/keyboard controls simply work better. Since game makers do not provide mouse/keyboard controls on the consoles, (although they easily could!!!), I prefer to play those games on PC. The same game will always look better and cost less on the PC as well. In the case of Batman, PC will get added physX support. So it is a tough call, PhysX and $10 extra dollars, or Joker? I'll try the PS3 demo and if the controls are good I'll probably just go with the Joker this time around.

i prefer games that are less action-based on pc. games like fallout 3 or oblivion where there are long periods of little brain activity, those are best suited to the pc for me. i do enjoy the xbox 360 however for playing first person shooters quite a bit more just because it feels more fluid to me. all in all this game looks like a rent to me, as i just can't see me playing this game for more than a handful of hours after the campaign is over.

I use my PC on my TV so it is the same either way. I will say I prefer controllers over mouse and keyboard any day. Hopefully, Steam sells the game for a discount in the near future and I can use that as an excuse to get this game. My PhysX GPU is pretty lonely :(

I prefer my console for games. I don't like playing games on my computer, which is interesting since I play an MMO mostly and so have to play it on the computer. I guess because I spend so much time at a computer at work, and then at one to play my MMO, I want everything else on my TV. I am especially not fond of watching TV on the computer.

I'm still little tick, that only the PS3 gamers only getting the Joker side mission.

I play the better version. PC or console. 99% of the time it's PC. But I'm not ignorant. I have this new type of cord called HDMI that let's me play my PC on my TV, with a 360 Wireless controller on the couch.
Why the hell would I pick up a more expensive inferior version of a game to sit on my couch when I can still sit on my couch usuing the PC like a console?

DC and Sony like working for each other, PS3 All the Way!!!!!!!!!!!
