Meh, bought a 580gtx but looks like I'm late to the party and won't get a code as OcUK are no longer participating in the code scheme apart from on cheaper cards

Order the retail Robin Edition as its the only way to get the Robin DLC as a pre-order bonus for free otherwise that is a day 1 DLC @ £3.99/560MSP.

Who knows?, steam haven't even updated their site for this game, steam says...

This game will unlock in approximately 3 days and 22 hours

oops

LOL whoops

No pre-loading for me anyway, steel box edition on pre-order

Then it can sit on my shelf with all the other games I have paid for, got far to many games to get through atm.

Well you can get it pretty cheap on steam if you purchase someone's code that came with new Nvidia cards

Got it for £18

Steam is saying unlock in 2 days?

Nexus18 · 15 Nov 2011 at 23:56

WTF!?!?!

I thought the game got put back by a week!? :confused:

I am getting a hard copy, although if that is true (as in it won't be reset in 2 days time and unlock on the 25th), I will cancel and get it on steam

Witcher1979 · 15 Nov 2011 at 23:59

I don't think steam has updated it, it has been pushed back till next week.

any1 know if this will have online multiplayer?

AWPC · 17 Nov 2011 at 09:42

Nightwing DLC is now buyable on GFW Marketplace Client. 164MB Download. £4.75 or 560 MS Points. Looks like MS never got the memo to say the game is not released for another week!! This DLC should work with all versions but if your not sure & buying from Steam wait until release date other retail & any other digital versions will work just fine with this DLC as it uses common programming hooks integrated into GFWL for DLC.

http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/Product/Nightwing-Bundle-Pack/00000000-0000-400e-80cf-000c57520fa0

This DLC is just 2 new combat challenge maps, a few new skins for Nightwing & Catwoman & an extra 50 GS. The real value is how great the Nightwing character is in the combat challenges he is one of the best characters in the entire game as he is such a badass fighter

Its SP only. The online components are leaderboards for the combat challenges via GFWL & Steamcloud for saves if you bought the Steam version only.

Next friday, 25th of november. It got delayed twice, some poor excuse about finishing touches for the pc version but that's rubbish, game has been completed and polished for quite a while.

barmyllama · 17 Nov 2011 at 10:14

I reckon this last delay was to release it for the Thanksgiving weekend.

To be fair to Rocksteady they have implemented full DX11 features + PhysX with Nvidia's help so some of the delay was obviously down to that & implementing Steam Cloud for saves on Steam bought versions.
