Five reasons to go insane over Batman: Arkham Origins

With the series hitting nothing but home runs, Rocksteady's Batman franchise is a welcome addition to any yearly release schedule. But with the series now in new hands will the level of quality be the same? rawDLC is hopeful, here are five reasons why.

Looks like amature batman suit looks more advance and cooler than previous batman arkham franchise.

GusBricker4026d ago

I honestly have no idea who most of these villains are.

So, I'm really excited about the game, but it's kind of weird when Black Mask was revealed at the main villain and I'm like, "Who the hell is Black Mask?"

Shrugs.

OhReginald4026d ago (Edited 4026d ago )

well black mask is a great character to have. Its about time he gets the spotlight. In the comics he actually goes after Bruce Wayne, however he doesnt know Bruce Wayne is Batman.

Im just worried about the new devs that are making the game. These are the same guys that did the Wii U port for arkham city. And it was awful.

MrAnderson4026d ago (Edited 4026d ago )

I don't read comics either but even I know Black Mask is one of the more prominent Batman villains, up there with joker riddler penguin and mr freeze.

r214026d ago

I just realized something. Seeing as this is a prequel to the Arkham games, this would mean Joker would still be at large. My question is who's going to voice Joker now that Hamill's done with his character.

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_Scum102d ago

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

Cacabunga102d ago

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

ZeekQuattro101d 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. 🤣

Exvalos102d 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.

ZeekQuattro101d 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_Scum101d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood102d ago

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

LoveSpuds101d ago

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

generic-user-name101d 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.

Phoenix76102d 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.

goldwyncq102d ago

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

boing1102d 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.

Petebloodyonion183d 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.

lellkay296d ago (Edited 296d 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.

Demetrius296d 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
