  • best fighting system ever in any game I've ever played.

  • @konorokingdom I was about to write just that.

    Excellent melee mechanics.

  • This video is one of a kind :D Im subscribing right now!

  • I played the demo and I just mashed the attack button while pointing the analog in the direction of the next closest enemy, and just by doing that, Batman did all the work and beat them all quickly. I don't like that. Is there some kind of hidden deeper aspect I'm not seeing or did the demo just suck at introducing the fighting system?

  • @EvilRyuGuy yes

  • Comment removed

  • @EvilRyuGuy It becomes a lot harder when they get guns, then you have to mix combat with stealth

  • @EvilRyuGuy

    the critical strike system takes some skill when you hit one thug and jump to the other one if you press the button right as your about to hit them your combo will increase 2x. I think thats how it goes

  • And now in proper English please...

  • Tron Legacy the game has changed

    I am not sure if this song fits the game at all, but I think it may nice to listen to whilst playing the game. It may even increase your combo.

  • I found the "free flow" kinda sluggish and awkward. I played many real fighting games and I liked them, but this one? Nah.

  • @BigLebowski2000

    You're giving up before you get to master the skills. It's unlike any other fighting game.

    Indeed it's not easy to master this complex fighting system but that's why it's more rewarding in the end when you get familiar with it. It becomes very addictive.

  • lol 1:30 through 1:33 the guy that batman punched and fell looked like he did a freestyle

  • This is one of the best fighting, free flow combat systems I have ever seen...matter of fact, it is the best! Its easy but sort of difficult at the same time. It really suits batman well. Other games (especially super hero games, *ahem SPIDERMAN *ahem) should really look at this when developing their fighting system

  • @ChiTownOnDeck yeah it would have been great in a spider-man game. i realy want it in a spider-man game. with all of spideys acrobatics freeflow would have been PERFECT.

  • i would have paid much more then $34.99 used for this game, especially when you fight 20+ henchmen, then snapping some arms, legs, and backflipping to kick guys off ledges

  • I feel bad for those thugs.. Batman litterally beats these thug's behinds in! And it's not like these thugs can fight(at all).

  • So, if you do one of the combat challenges the XP you earn within those automatically transfers into XP in the story mode?

    On another note, this freeflow combat system is the best I have seen in any game well done rocksteady!

  • Imagine if they added free flow in Dragon Age 2, it would be so much better

  • Best game :)

  • I hated it after you whoop a thugs ass you kick him in the stomache and he grabs his head like WTF?

  • @hot1cold0 That is because Batman kicked his stomach up into his head. Hence, the thug grabs his head :)

  • I love how batman looks like he didn't enjoy it

  • I wonder if a mma guy that knows ninjutsu could do that

  • Apparently CDprojekt are using this system as an inspiration for the witcher 2's combat system which on paper sounds amazing, like this only with swords gore and lots of important bits getting hacked off people...

  • Highest was 44.

  • where can I download DLC

  • nice video .........if u want to earn money 38000 Rs OR 500 US $ pr week then u visit my profile and call me on this number 00923124772450

  • Some of these moves are sick.

  • i'd like to see the freeflow fighting system in star wars the force unleashed 2 but its not it would be pretty cool (i think)

  • @gameguy257 That would be a dream come true, unfortunately, lucasarts is always lagging behind

  • free flow is awesome!!!! way better than the old button mashing...

    it's about time more developers understand this

  • @sevach Uncharted 3 an AC:brotherhood already did

    :-)

  • this free-flow combat thing is amazing, its lik watching a fight scence from a movie

  • is this game a free roaming game ? Like your in a free world and you can do what ever you want?

  • @GamingFilmProd Yes. You can do anything once you have done 100%, well it gets boring after a while.

  • I've got 100% of the game!

    I once had 50.000 in one round (i think it was sewer(extreme)!. That was the best free flow i had! And I'm really good at it! V

    Great vid Gamehelper!

  • best hand to hand combat in a video game!!!so awesome,cant get enough of it!

  • Best superhero game since The Punisher (yes, I am aware that Frankie ain't exactly a superhero, but still it was an awesome game)

  • The combat system in this game is excellent! In fact, it's better than most dedicated fighting games. I hope they don't mess with it in the next game.

  • oh my god I got 4100 in the first round!!

    is that the highest you can get in the first round?

  • It's not the easiest combat challange map, 1star.

  • @Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaartin how about you shut the fuck up?

  • Comment removed

  • @Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaartin

    why you gotta troll?

  • did Prince of persia have free flow? or was that somehing else i can't remember =S

  • Free-Form Fighting system. but it is pretty much the same as free flow.

  • Wow damn. Whoever played that demo has awesome skills.

  • i mastered it a got the plat trophy! im so happpyyyyy

  • I love this game! You know I think this free flow system would be quality for combat in a Matrix type game. The path of Neo combat was disjointed but this would make the fights (especially with the many smiths bit) look fast, stylish, smooth and flowing. Just picture it! Would be awesome!!

  • @JediJehu

    Yea, youre right.

    If they made a Ps3 Matrix game with this game graphics and more stuff, and ofcourse kungfu in it it would be awesome.

  • @JediJehu

    hey! that was my idea :))))

  • @JediJehu yea! i hope they use free flow in more games

  • @JediJehu yeah man! that's what matrix path of neo was lacking so badly, still had fun with that game though

  • @JediJehu This is the way to go regarding combat. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood copied it and it was awesome!

  • @Triipticz Yeah! Batman's combat system is one of the most rewarding to use, but it's also true Batman inspired itself in Assassin's Creed 1 and even that game drew inspiration from other great 3D melee fighter games like Prince of Persia from the PS2. It's a simple process called evolutionary game design.

  • @Junjokar AC: Brotherhood is particularly similar to B:AA in it's combat.

  • @Triipticz No it's not, not nearly close. I wish it were! I still like AC for its story line and environments, but the fighting is just lame.

  • @shurcooL The combat is similar in that it features multiple thugs simulatneously, counter-attacking free flow combat and instant kills as you build your killcount.

  • @Triipticz AC: Brother hood features:

    multiple thugs simultaneously = yes

    single counter-attacks = yes

    free flow combat, as in pressing attack button with right timing lets you hit different enemies in succession = not really

    I could never get the instal kills to work reliably either. The fighting system design and the way it's presented to the player is just not nearly as smooth and intuitive as it was in Batman: AA.

  • @JediJehu I just thought that!

  • errr ummm, that is kind of illegal so yeah...

  • the combat looks fun

  • good point

  • i think Freeflow should be in every fighting game

  • It makes the game a bit too easy I'm afraid. See, it works for Batman because it isn't the player kicking ass - Its BATMAN kicking ass. Batman is a pre-established ass-kicker, he's a master martial artist and all of his moves should be that way. But if someone from like DoA or MK were to perform multiple moves with only three face buttons it'd be like WHAT? Batman just has that level of awesomeness under his belt, he can take ANYONE apart (even the Titan-Patients with a downward slam).

  • I guess ur right there, freeflow doesn't have much sense in most fighting games...

    In fact, by definition it is a way to make big fights better, it's like batman is fighting every1 individually and all together at the same time.

    When u fight 1 on 1 it is like fighting all of ur opponents all together and individually at the same time already, because it is 1 opponent XD

  • 2:18 LOL, that dude got smashed

  • i want a bruce lee game with freeflow combat :[

  • yes, indeed, a fighting game wiith freeflow would be awesome...I also believe freeflow should have been incorporated in mgs, making it possible to disarm and kill/knock out big groups of ppl targeting at u, as shown in some cutscenes and some form of it applied to 1on1 fights...

  • yeah that would have been helpfull

  • idk if helpful is the right word, it'd surely be cool as hell though!!(lol, cool as hell XDXD)

  • For the same reason as above, that sounds stupid - It would make the game easy, its a realistic game with a realistic character. Not to mention Old Snake was fighting rookie teenage soldiers, not veteran PMCs. He relies more on stealth, although yeah, disarming people they way he did would be cool - Though realistically, he'd still get shot up pretty bad.

  • The freeflow system by itself is more challenging than it is "helpful". It doesn't make the game easy and in fact it does make batman more realistic, it is the most realistic batman game! That's because combos are built on one another and based on the conditions...

    That being said, old snake was fighting ocelot's elite group or sth I think. Nevertheless, implementing freeflow, especially in cqc, but in short ranged gunfights as well, would nake snake more like he is in cutscenes. Of course this

  • shouldn't be abused, for example snake shouldn't be able to just jump in and take out 20 ppl with guns, just like that. But adding limits and making it harder is easy for the game designers.

  • it is imposible to fight seven or twelve people.but the game is so so so sooooo sick

  • no it's not, especially in easy mode it's piece of cake

  • that guy that got kiced on the head at 0:29 must be yellin in his head......."AARGGHH!!! MY HEAD ! MY FUCKIN HEAD!!!"

  • this sort of combo system should hav been in prototype as well. d combat is so satisfying in batman arkham asylum and i wish 4 a game like prototype d combat was just as satisfying. linear combos get boring

  • check out my 100 plus combo video

  • this game looks so good i love the combo!!!!!

  • just played the demo...all I can say is badass

  • free flow combat is probably one of my favourite aspects of the game, apart from ledge takedown's lol.

  • wow, it just occured to me....add a big ass sword, a medieval setting and gore to freeflow combat and u have berserk XD

  • nice moves

  • then why are you watching this?

  • its not even a movie based game....

  • no its not, check out the review. One of the best action games in a long time. Im playin it and its a great game with great grahics story and gameplay, and its not even movie based.

  • this isnt a movie based game you dumbass. This game is better than most non-superhero games, try playing it first.

  • It isn't a movie based game, it has a Metacritic score of 92%, has been praised in pretty much all reviews and it's probably the best single player experience I've had this year.

  • not the lesbian ones, they rock

  • yeah superman is gay. he has super strenth and other amazing powerss yet he still struggles sometimes. Batman has no superpowers but he is way better than Superman. Superman has natural ability, but Batman works hard for them

  • @greendaylover4

    Because it's a comic book. They hero will always be as powerful as they need to be.

  • @greendaylover4 Superman is a hero that exemplifies the super-hero ideals and morality. His greatest asset is that with all his power, he was not corrupted by it.

    Still, that does not lessen how great a hero Batman is, and I wonder why everyone always feels the need to put one above the other or denigrate one of them to justify a person's preference for the other.

    Both are great characters for different reasons. And their best stories are often when they are fighting together.

  • @greendaylover4 they explain that multiple times in superman and batman comics, superman holds back on his weaker opponents when he could just obliterate them, because he feels it is wrong, think it's stupid? it's called man vs. self. Batman is able to fight his villains cause they are no where near as strong as superman's. superman fought doomsday, batman fought a clown.

  • @mrboxleytheonly

    listen dude i wrote that over a year ago. i dont even remember writing it, or what i was thinking when i did. i dont know much about either super hero i was just randomly chiming

  • @greendaylover4 Hahahaha! Looks like you pissed off a nerd my man! Hahahaha! I don't know much about either heroes either but batman is badass in this game!

  • @greendaylover4 uhh, batman has the greatest power of all. he's super wealthy. he can use this power to create literally anything necessary for his given situation.

  • @wharghoul So Batman's super power is his ability to purchase whatever is necessary for any given situation? Lol

  • batman arkham asylum walkthrough my channel

  • yup,maybe im like u, my tv doesnt require HD, but i think that games require HD is a good things.reasons are you will get a HD tv sometimes(maybe a few yrs later) and you can enjoy that kind of high quality

  • i plan to buy this game for PS3 but i don't have an HD tv. does this game need an HD tv to work properly or will any tv do?

  • any tv will work on ps3 but the quality must much sucker than the hd

  • well as long i can play it I'm fine. i hated the fact that so many games like GTA4, prototype, Assassin's Creed and a lot of other high rated games need HD tv. I just hope Marvel ultimate alliance doesn't require HD either.

  • superman sucks, batman is way better

  • Yes, it's coming out for the Pc, you can find the Demo on the Batman: Arkham Asylum main site.

  • oh thanks

  • dam first the movie gets best superhero movie ever and now the game...only if a superman movie and game got the same recognition

  • superman is the gayest superhero ever

  • apples and oranges....

  • superman is lamest superhero ever. his enemys are always so much weaker than him. and he always wins in the end.His costume is soooo gay and his hair xD, batman rocks

  • does anyone know when this game is coming out for the pc

  • It's not coming out for the PC.

  • wikipedia says it will for windows pc

  • Why isn't their an achievement for stringing a 30 hit combo? I got an achievement for doing 5,10 and 20 combo but I didn't get one when it was 30.

    It looks so great though. This is probably the best comic book game so far.

    One thing about this game is it's not repetitive. They're always mixing it up.

  • Doubles of the one previous.

  • he doesnt die dont listen to him

  • cant find dr youngs notes if somebody will help me and i succeed to get it will get 12 month xbox live gold code hurry only have one the first to reply will get it..

  • Fuck you arshole.

  • fuck you prick

  • Dude, wtf, why do you spoil it for the people who didnt know ?

  • "the higher your score mul'iployer"

    haha, British people.

  • bruce lee just rolled over in his grave...

  • I don't get it :S

  • only bruce lee would pull of combos so smooth as him, is what im referring to. Go watch way of the dragon or something...you'll know

  • I have watched all of bruce lees films but normally saying somebody would be rolling in their grave means that in this case batmans combos are a disgrace.

  • it reminds me alot of the combat system in rise to honor the jet li game that was on ps2 which kicked ass

  • the music sounds a little like god of war

  • wtf

  • 01:21 look at the guy with the bat to the right

  • i think i just came a little.

  • cumed ?

  • that would be sweet if they make a coop for this so one persons batman and the other robber

  • u mean robin

  • it wouldnt be Co-Op then...and what would be so fun about it?? Batman knows martial arts and would knock him down instantly...

  • i wonder what it would b like if penguin was on here?

  • This is gonna be a freakin awsome game!!!!!

  • The fighting looks really fun.
