We already know it's got tacked on mp whoopdy doo.

I wish companies would stop hyping their own stuff.

It's like giving yourself a nickname.

It's never going to be as "cool" as you think it is and it's a douche move.

WE the gamers decide what is epic and what is not.

TekoIie3898d ago (Edited 3898d ago )

Yeh I would have rather them make more characters for the challenge maps to play as rather than this multiplayer crap.

No one asked for this and no one wants it.

Either way though I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Although I'm predicting it'll end up like Assassins Creed multiplayer. Good for the first time in brotherhood but after that...

dcj05243898d ago

If it's tested extensivley. Has fun gameplay. And doesn't feel rushed then it isn't "tacked on" it's part of the game.

IIC0mPLeXII3898d ago

If it's shoe horned into the third title of a franchise that inherently never had and never needed it, it's tacked on.

cyborg473898d ago

Didn't ME3 get the same criticism about tacked on MP? That didn't turn out bad, and the MP portion of Origins is made by a completely different studio, so I don't think its something to worry about.

GusHasGas3897d ago

Nope, they're probably revealing another assassin. After all, they've been teasing an assassin on their Instagram page.

2EHO3898d ago

Has this game been revealed for ps4 and xb1 yet... Because if not I'm almost positive that's what its going to be.

nick3093898d ago

Confirmed not to come to nextgen.

-Foxtrot3898d ago

Is it that UK/EU will get that sweet American Collectors edition...because thats what I want it to be.

ironfist923898d ago

I want Red Hood as an assassin, but I know its too early in the story for that

GusHasGas3897d ago

Why would Red Hood be an assassin? He's a hero more than anything...

ironfist923897d ago

Im sure he'd take up the offer to kill Batman for not saving him when (REDACTED)

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-name94d 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
