VG Republic Writes: Today brought forth by two, unnamed, sources via Kotaku was the news that Batman: Arkham Origins will indeed attempt to lengthen the experience of the upcoming title; not in a way that would be hoped for by many fans in ways, like Assassin’s Creed III did it with the Tyranny of George Washington Saga, but instead through adding a multiplayer experience to the game. The optimism that we once had in the newly anointed Warner Brothers Studios to develop the game instead of Rocksteady, possibly being able to do even more with an already terrific series, has now been cast with doubt in the wake of the news. There is no reason to implement a multiplayer experience into a game that doesn’t need it to succeed. Instead, there are plenty of ways to increase the experience and lengthen the amount of time that gamers stay in-touch with the title, not to mention the fact more money as well, but multiplayer is something that now feels forced into a package that has a proven track record, including both games receiving Game of the Year nomination nods, without it
Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League is almost here, but I can't revisit the best Arkhamverse game on PS5 without sacrificing quality.
Not a fan of Orgins. Blame it on the absence of Conroy & Hamill. Blame it on the lack of atmosphere compared to Asylm. Hell blame it the devs thst dicked over Wii U owners like me that purchased the game only for support be dropped as a thank you to me. It's better than Knight but that's not saying much. I don't care for that entry either.
tbh buying a game like that for WiiU should’ve been an obvious non-purchase when it existed on better hardware.
Origins is amazing..
my favorite Batman is Batman and Robin on mega drive.. an HD REMASTER of that would still look glorious
I got it launch. Kinda hard to go back. I'm supposed to know they were going to drop support months after the fact. 🤣
You sound like a salty fanboy, that it didn't come to your precious plastic of choice. It's not the developers fault Nintendo continues making underpowered hardware. It's our fault because we keep buying it. Yes I say (we) I'm part of the problem as well.
I have a PS3 and a Wii U. How was I a salty fanboy? I bought the game on the system I wanted it for.
Nah my comment has nothing to do with whether you’d know or not that they’d drop support.
Buying any AAA game of that era for a WiiU you should’ve known you’d be sacrificing graphics and load times.
Smacks of hyperbole to me, talk about clutching at straws to create some drama around PS5!!
Titles like these are designed to get you to come in, go to their comment section and tell them how they're so wrong so they can boost their numbers.
Even though its not the best arkham game in the series, its still an enjoyable game in its own right. What it do really well at though, was the crime investigations scenes. Which imo, were the best of the franchise.
Never played it and recently I've finally tried it via cloud on psn. It's not the best for sure, but it ain't bad either.
Batman: Arkham Origins launched 10 years ago today, and sadly doesn't stand the test of time as well as its predecessors.
I fail to grasp why this title is worse compared to Arkham City (according to the article) as the author didn't provide any argument to explain why aside from that it felt the bigger map compared to Arkham Asylum made the experience less tight.
More importantly, the author seems like he never played Arkham City since he described the game as linear (alongside Asylum).
Despite certain flaws, Batman: Arkham Origins is a splendid entry in the legendary Arkham series and deserves better than being forsaken.
It's the worst of the three in my opinion, but still really enjoyable. Definitely underated and gets far more crap that it deserves.
Should be included with the other Arkham games in the bundle.
I'm honestly enjoying it alot, my first time playing since I just decided to get a Xbox 360 slim for 65$, I cop some other gems too tho, I went into Arkham origins not expecting better than Arkham city but it does deliver plus the guy who voices batman did a good job aiming for the young Bruce impression
Dang, give em a chance to at least show us what they're working on before we go ahead and doubt the developer. Not every game that incorporates multiplayer is bad. In fact, the games that have incorporated it in recent years have done pretty well. Assassin's Creed's multiplayer is pretty good, same with Mass Effect 3, God of War: Ascension etc.
I could see some fun modes coming out of mp for Batman. More than likely though it'll be some sort of co-op survival mode.
Apparently single player dlc escapes developers nowadays. Or they are just lazy. Its just sad that gamers who beat a game once, on the easiest difficulty trounce a game because they consider it to collect dust without multiplayer. Oh well that's what casual gamers do.
the game is not even out!!!
The only multiplayer mode i would like to see in a Batman game would be a co-op mode, where a friend could join in as robin or any other character, to help complete certain task as it often happens in the comics.

That's all I needed to read.
