Batman: Arkham Origins' multiplayer is being developed by Splash Damage

Splash Damage, developers of multiplayer shooters Brink, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and Dirty Bomb, is leading development on Batman: Arkham Origins' multiplayer component, reports VideoGamer.com.

One of the multiplayer modes revealed so far is 'Invisible Predator', a mode that sees two teams face off against each other on the streets of Arkham as a player-controlled Batman & Robin stalk them from the shadows.

This feels like an unnecessary add on. Cannot say this got me excited in any way too be honest. Batman is good because of it's story, character development and also it's gameplay, but I don't think the gameplay is good enough alone by itself to establish a Batman multiplayer.

CaptainYesterday3915d ago

Yeah I'm not sure why they thought Arkham Origins needed multiplayer maybe if it was like Batman and Robin co op for the story mode I would be interested. This just seems really out of place I guess I will play it a few times when I get it just to try it but from what I've seen it doesn't look great.

xYLeinen3915d ago

BUT, I'll never say never.. I love AC series for their single player and was as skeptical for they multiplayer. Tried it, got hooked.

Kaze883915d ago

@xYleinen yeah well if you watch the track record of Splash damage you can see that they only have made mediocre multiplayers and all of them were shooters. Doesnt look good...

mafiahajeri3915d ago

That's what they said about uncharted. It doesn't have anything to do with how good the gameplay is, it's obviously being done in a whole different manner then the single player.

The " this game doesn't need MP" crap is getting old. Give the game a chance before you form an opinion.

Yea AC multiplayer is amazing if you get a good game.

I'm hoping it's like that, expect you can glide from rooftop buildings and such.

Those guys are developing a cool Multiplayer game called Dirty Bomb

i don't play Batman Arkham series for the multiplayer; and I really don't care much for it. i hope it doesn't end up like Spec Ops The Line's multiplayer which was bleh...

MegaSackman3915d ago

To be honest, i prefer this over those challenge mission or whatever they were called.

If the main story is just as good as Asylum or City, this shouldn't be a problema, in fact, it might be good.

I thought the same with The Last of Us and the multiplayed ended up being quite fun.

The best Batman Arkham game still isn’t on PS5, and that’s a problem

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.

Rebel_Scum95d ago

tbh buying a game like that for WiiU should’ve been an obvious non-purchase when it existed on better hardware.

Cacabunga95d ago

Origins is amazing..
my favorite Batman is Batman and Robin on mega drive.. an HD REMASTER of that would still look glorious

ZeekQuattro95d ago

I got it launch. Kinda hard to go back. I'm supposed to know they were going to drop support months after the fact. 🤣

Exvalos95d ago

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.

ZeekQuattro95d ago

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.

Rebel_Scum95d ago

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.

LucasRuinedChildhood96d ago

It's solid but Origins is definitely not the best Arkham game.

LoveSpuds95d ago

Smacks of hyperbole to me, talk about clutching at straws to create some drama around PS5!!

generic-user-name95d ago

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.

Phoenix7695d ago

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.

goldwyncq95d ago

I don’t know about best game but it definitely has the best story and boss fights.

boing195d ago

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 - Open World Busy Work that Doesn't Hold Up 10 Years Later

Batman: Arkham Origins launched 10 years ago today, and sadly doesn't stand the test of time as well as its predecessors.

Petebloodyonion176d ago

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).

The Unjustly Forgotten Batman: Arkham Origins Deserves A Resurgence

Despite certain flaws, Batman: Arkham Origins is a splendid entry in the legendary Arkham series and deserves better than being forsaken.

lellkay289d ago (Edited 289d ago )

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.

Demetrius289d ago

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
