Don't know why it wasn't already released, but tthank God it's been addressed, becaused it drops down to like 2 frames a second at times, when the previous two games ran flawlessly throughout.

static52454233d ago

I've been playing it on the 360 and it is SO glitchy. Console has crashed a few times, have to play offline and there was just random glitches throughout the game. The last straw for me was that I played for like 9 hours and i went back to the main menu and my save was corrupted.

Just like Assassins Creed 3 its an awesome game but the Bugs are too many to keep the game right now. Trading it in to get Pre-Order for BF4

KwietStorm_BLM4233d ago

Really that bad? Now I don't even want to continue. This and GTA were already my last hurrah for this generation, and I'm ready to just move on. I feel I need a refresh to get me excited again for new games.

Pintheshadows4233d ago

It is weird. Yesterday I played for hours on end with basically no issues (a few but not like this). Tonight however it is dropping frames like crazy and the orange light on the front of my PS3 slim has been going nuts and for a majority of it has been solid orange. This is after installing 1.01 which I didn't do intially. Kind of wish I hadn't now but I wanted to enter my DLC codes for Deathstroke. Shame I was really getting into it.

Have you started fast traveling more? The dev said to lay off fast traveling a lot until the patch is live.

Pintheshadows4233d ago

No, I haven't, that is the thing. I removed the 1.01 update and things got better immediately for me so something in their is messing it up. Seems like they have identified it though.

BG115794231d ago (Edited 4231d ago )

I've removed the update and ceased using fast travel. The game doesn't have any frame-drops anymore.
Thanks. I hope they'll fix this in the future.

Oh yes, and Bubble up for the two of you for the help.

xander707694233d ago

Also this game has noticeable screen tearing. Not too bad in actual gameplay, but it's there, and the cutscenes oh god. Plagued with screen tearing.

Games need to include vsync as an optional feature players can choose to have on or off, and honestly if a game can't run decent frames with Vsync enabled then it either needs more development or it is simply pushing the hardware too much.

deadfrag4232d ago

DONT UNDERSTAND THE OTHER TWO GAMES RUN VERY SMOOTH!

BG115794231d ago (Edited 4231d ago )

I arrive to a point where the game is unplayable.
That's how bad it is.
They really did a bad job this time.
I really don't understand, how they could screw this up so much. :/

Skate-AK4231d ago

They submitted a fix for it. Sony has to pass it through certification. Patch will probably arrive in a week or less.

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

FPS_D3TH106d ago

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

Knushwood Butt107d 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.

Abear21107d ago

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

M_Prime106d ago

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

YourMommySpoils106d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg107d ago (Edited 107d 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

jznrpg107d ago (Edited 107d 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_Scum499d ago

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

Cacabunga499d ago

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

ZeekQuattro499d 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. 🤣

Exvalos499d 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.

ZeekQuattro499d 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_Scum499d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood500d ago

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

LoveSpuds499d ago

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

generic-user-name499d 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.

Phoenix76499d 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.

goldwyncq499d ago

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

boing1499d 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.

Petebloodyonion580d 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).
