Batman: Arkham City to use GFWL
The newly-revealed box art for Batman: Arkham City has outed the Games for Windows Live logo emblazoned across the top.
Batman: Arkham City will use Games for Windows Live, as revealed by the new PC box art for the game, reports Rock Paper Shotgun. This means you'll use Microsoft's own front-end for the game, with all the frustrations and perks that come with it. But hey, at least you can use the PC version to contribute to your Gamerscore, if you're into that sort of thing.
You can step into the shoes of the Dark Knight on PC, PlayStation 3, or Xbox 360 on October 18. Robin was recently revealed as a playable character in Challenge Maps, at least as a pre-order bonus from Best Buy. For hands-on impressions check out our pre-E3 preview of Arkham City.

don't see why this is a surprise to anyone. Are people actually mad that the sequel to a game that used GFWL is also using GFWL?

Some people just never learn.

Wont be buying this one because of GFWL.
Had WAY too many problems with Flatout:UC, Batman:AA and Bioshok 2 to ever play another game with GFWL. -
Buying it on either 360 or PS3 so this doesn't bother me a bit!
-
Same here. I'm so tired of busted pc ports.
-
What? Arkham Asylum was great on the PC
-
It really was a fantastic version.
-
It was ok but it worked better on the 360.
-
I just started playing it with a controller, I found the KB/Mouse actually way better for this game. And I usually like controllers better for 3rd person action.
-
Honestly, it was the best fucking port ever. Seriously, that needs to be a road map for how devs do it from now on.
-
What? no it wasn't.
the PC Port was FANTASTIC. and had the additional awesomeness of the PhysX effects rolled in.
-
Not if you had an ATI card.
-
Hybrid PhysX hax, I totally had Physx with a 4890 and a 9500GS lulz

I completed the game on both the 360 and pc and while both are fine, I just had more issues with the pc version.
-

-
Well GFWL live is already built into the 360. So it's not like you have much of a choice ^___^

Im not saying that GFWL doesn't have its faults (mostly in MP) but if the game didn't work, at least for me it was because of the game, not GFWL
-
Tbh, I've never had any problems with GFWL. I still hate it, cos it's shit and built for console users bizarrely...like the lack of a "chat" function, I have to click a friend and individually send each message after clicking through 3 menus? Clearly the person who designed it doesn't have a Steam account.
Batman will be worth buying though, regardless of the fact it uses Games for Windows SHITE. -
Didn't bother me in the first one, I doubt it will bother me in this one.
-
-
You're missing out. Batman: AA is one of the best games in the last few years.
-
Thanks for this enlightening comment.
-
-
Hey at least they're consistent.

I thought steam and gfwl played well together. You get chat overlay and also live achievements
-
actually you get 2 chat overlays. and achievements that don't count towards your steam achievements. which since you bought the thing on steam is probly what you would prefer.

GFWL was a pain in the ass sometimes when it wouldn't recognize your login info over and over....kinda wish they'd just let GFWL die.
-
WTF? What a disappointment. Don't take their money Warner! Bungie ended up having to spend a fortune to buy their freedom again. Don't do it! Don't do it.... (sobs).

In gamespy everyone can play, with legit or pirated copies, but the cheaters protections isn't top notch.
In games for windows live.... pirates can't play but.... half of the legit buyers can't play too, and the performance of the client and connection is really bad.
Talking about multiplayer.
