Ok. This game might be awesome without Rocksteady.

Root4436d ago

"Overall, this part of Gotham City will be somewhat familiar as it is largely where Arkham City took place just set well before the walls were erected."

I knew it, I bloody knew it

They've basically reskinned the map Rocksteady did in Akrham City to make it look less....ruined and the smaller new part will be the new location they've just added onto.

RFornillos44436d ago

they had to. it's not like they're doing a new franchise. the story will still be set in generally the same area.

anyway, they've consulted Rocksteady for the game mechanics and technicalities, so I hope they do a good job of taking on this next Batman Arkham game.

gninja924434d ago

or the "arkham city aka Poor district" could have been only 1/3 of the games map, or half. and by half i mean actually 50% not 75% and have them say "about half" ! along with make it possible to go inside all or most buildings not tjust the super villains hideouts

Hopefuly we´ll get to drive the batmobile.

delboy4436d ago

Batman is becoming the new AC, CoD, BF.
I loved the first game, the second was great to, but I had a dejavu feeling while I was playing it.
So I assume I should skip the third game, or the dejavu feeling will become boredom.

gninja924434d ago

wat u expect bro. spuditiy runs amock. like the ole' saying " you cant fix stupid" and u really cant they wanna milk the franchise becasue the facts speak for themselves ppl will buy it. if u really wanna convince them otherwise start an official protest and see to it that the game seel so poorly they go bankrupt even with all the thanksgiving sales

The getaway
Smugglers run
Dead to rights
Worlds scariest police chases
Sure I’m missing a few.

FPS_D3TH110d ago

Mannn… worlds scaries police chases… that took me back lol

Knushwood Butt111d ago

Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.

Abear21111d ago

Max Payne Series
Infamous 1 & 2
NBA Street Vol 2
SSX
Skate

M_Prime110d ago

i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately

YourMommySpoils110d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg111d ago (Edited 111d ago )

One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons

jznrpg111d ago (Edited 111d ago )

Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those

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_Scum504d ago

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

Cacabunga503d ago

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

ZeekQuattro503d 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. 🤣

Exvalos504d 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.

ZeekQuattro503d 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_Scum503d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood504d ago

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

LoveSpuds503d ago

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

generic-user-name503d 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.

Phoenix76504d 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.

goldwyncq504d ago

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

boing1504d 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.

Petebloodyonion584d 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).
