Check Out Batman's New Shock Gloves in Action - Arkham Origins

IGN - We grab one Bat-fan to see the Dark Knight's newest gadget and weigh in on how Rocksteady's successor is doing.

-Foxtrot3888d ago

This is why im hating this prequel...or prequel games in general

Where the hell was this gadget in Arkham City.....the way this game looks and the gadgets in it make it seem like a sequel

RedDeadLB3888d ago

Doesn't mean Batman didn't have them, maybe he just never used em. Think outside the box a little bit. They can't dumb down the gameplay just because it's a prequel.

Yukicore3888d ago (Edited 3888d ago )

True that, but it doesn't end there, there was this "prototype" grapnel boost in Arkham City, guess what, it's in Batman Arkham Origins.

But lets not be anal about this, this game is not going to get hurt by this at all, quite opposite, it only gains. But it's just a little weird, that's all. Creative developers would take this in mind, and could even in process make the game better and more interesting.

But You have to appreciate that this game looks as good as it does, entirely different developers are making this game, so I've heard.

They're just being true to the comics. You know, retconning things...

RedSoakedSponge3888d ago

does any know what Rocksteady are up to now? since they arent making this game i mean.

Nunchez3887d ago

Hopefully working really hard on the next gen Batman.

Am I the only one that has trouble loading IGN videos? They just seem to take FOREVER to load, and it really annoys me.

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_Scum99d ago

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

Cacabunga99d ago

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

ZeekQuattro99d 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. 🤣

Exvalos99d 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.

ZeekQuattro99d 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_Scum99d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood100d ago

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

LoveSpuds99d ago

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

generic-user-name99d 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.

Phoenix7699d 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.

goldwyncq99d ago

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

boing199d 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.

Petebloodyonion180d 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.

lellkay293d ago (Edited 293d 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.

Demetrius293d 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
