Batman: Arkham Knight is Getting a Game of the Year Edition

Batman: Arkham Knight was released to near universal praise across platforms – barring the shoddy PC port – so it’s not really a surprise that a Game of the Year edition would be on the cards.

Is that in any way suprising?

July's pretty sparse games-wise, so this works great for me... glad I held-out for the 'complete' edition.

OldGuyStillGaming3281d ago

The DLC sucked..save yourself around $30 and just but the regular edition at $20 right now.

Or save all your money and use it for a different game.. I'm only a few hours in and I've gotten bored of it

poppinslops3281d ago

In that case, I don't mind waiting 'til it's cheap (already waited this long)... Did the same thing with the GotY versions of Asylum & City, but I didn't bother with Origins (did it get a 'GotY edition'?), so I might grab that while I wait.

Pity they're not backwards-compatible... unfortunately, the 'Return to Arkham' collection basically rules out any chance of their being added to the program.

Greedy bastards.

Yi-Long3281d ago

I already bought the 'complete' edition a while ago when it was on sale (Game plus Season Pass for 45€) on EU PS Store, and I quite enjoy the game, but I'm glad I waited for that sale, because that DLC is absolutely not worth the 40€ they were charging for it.

FasterThanFTL13282d ago

Its fixed on PC now and unless they remove the Batmobile in this version its not GOTY on consoles or PC. Besides The Witcher 3 or Bloodborne was GOTY last year anyway.

Yui_Suzumiya3282d ago

Dead Island and Homefront had GOTY editions.

poppinslops3282d ago

Yeah, it's not as though there's a law preventing devs that didn't win at 'The Game Awards' from releasing GotY editions... I'm pretty sure that all it 'legally' takes is for some $#!tty magazine/website to declare a game 'the winner'.

JamesBroski3282d ago

I wouldn't say it's fixed. Better, yea. But definitely not fixed.

Maxor3281d ago

The PC get the 60 FPS version?

BlaqMagiq13282d ago

I knew not to get this at launch and this is what my patience rewards me with. I expect this to launch at $50.

Hold_It3282d ago

Which is funny, because this game is far from GOTY. Easily the weakest link the Arkham Trilogy.

Hint: Origins doesn't exist.

Rob_Ko3282d ago (Edited 3282d ago )

even Origins was better imo. I lost interest somewhere in the middle and never even finished it

Hold_It3282d ago (Edited 3280d ago )

@Rob

Story wise, I can understand why you would say that. The bosses in Knight were awful though,imo. Too many underwhelming fights, and forced use of the Batmobile. If I'm going to use the Batmobile, I think I should use it because I want to use it, not because the game wants to require me to. Also not real fond of the super obvious identity of the Arkham Knight, and Rocksteady's overreliance on the Joker for the series. Really wish these devs would start allowing these great villians like Hush, and Black Mask to grace the spotlight or be the mastermind of things, without going back to Joker because he's the safest option.

I'm hoping Telltale will use Hush as the main villain for their Batman project since it's supposed to be focusing more on Bruce Wayne. He'd be perfect for that.

OldGuyStillGaming3281d ago

Origins was a great game
A few glitches but far from terrible

oIITSBIIo3281d ago

As a big fan of the Rocksteady's trilogy, I would rank the 3 games from the best: AK>AC>AA, all of them are great but Rocksteady knows how to raise the bar in every new Batman game and AK was no exception for me.

FasterThanFTL13282d ago

What is the difference between this and the Premium Edition?

Yui_Suzumiya3281d ago

This will have all the post launch DLC

FasterThanFTL13281d ago

So did the Premium Edition.

Relientk773282d ago

Yes lets keep milking the Batman Arkham Series

SMH

GeraltOfRevia3282d ago

1 game every 2 years isn't milking and the majority of successful games get a complete edition a year after the original's release so this isn't anything new.

JamesBroski3282d ago

How is this milking? They're just releasing an edition with all add-ons. Pretty sure Rocksteady are done with the Arkham series.

We hand-picked the 20 best Steam Deck games under $10 in the Steam Autumn Sale, up to 95% off

DivineHand125173d ago

I would also add Risk of Rain 2 as long as you don't stray too far from a power source as each run can be long as the hours melt away. Another thing to note is that based on the reports, the FPS may drop into the 40s if a lot of enemies are on the screen.

There is also the Half Life series. If you haven't played half-life before then you can do so now at the super low price.

cthulhucultist172d ago

Mafia was amazing looking and had a great story. Played flawlessly at 30fps as well without dips 99% of the time.

The same is true for Jedi Fallen Order

Sony games as also on sale. Picked up Rachet and Clank, cant wait to try it!

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

thorstein401d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga400d ago (Edited 400d ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod400d ago (Edited 400d ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

exputers400d ago

I see what you did there.

Yi-Long400d ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius400d ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

redrum06372d ago

It's a shame they cancelled the game. Definitely the best racing game I've ever played on Playstation. Just got GT7, but it feels so slow and less arcade-y, which is to be expected of a sim racer of course, that I just enjoy it less.
Driveclub also graphically looked insanely good for its time. I wonder what a Driveclub 2 would look like for the PS5.

Demetrius400d ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh
