Hopefully the studio can hold the mantle Rocksteady has built with the Arkham IP.

Both Asylum and City were phenomenal, it would be a shame if it's name was to be dragged down by a prequel not under their control.

Either way, there is HUGE potential here and i'm sure Rocksteady will have us a full next-gen sequel in the works hopefully at E3 for us =)

matgrowcott4037d ago

I'm sort of wondering if that's why it's only just been announced and we're so close to release.

If they'd have worked on it for 12 months and it sucked, it could be quietly shelved.

Sandmano4037d ago

Now I'm getting worried, packshots? Now? Why? Seems like their over compensating.

Iltapalanyymi4037d ago

oh great. another month and another rehashed batman game. stop this already.

Sandmano4037d ago

What? Rehashed? They only made two games. Assassins creed and cod are rehashed not batman and we know nothing of this game, there's a new dev and we don't know when development started on the the game.

Iltapalanyymi4037d ago

yes ac and cod are too. but im getting sick and tired of this batman everywhere shit.

EdoubleD4037d ago

Go be sick and tired somewhere else, somewhere 'deserving'. There's nothing wrong with these Batman titles.

cloud4954037d ago

The original devs are probably working on something else. Most likely a next gen title.

gedden74037d ago (Edited 4037d ago )

All I know is I loved the way Rocksteady used the gamepad for the Wii U, I really hope that WB Austin will do the same or better.

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_Scum104d ago

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

Cacabunga104d ago

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

ZeekQuattro104d 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. 🤣

Exvalos104d 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.

ZeekQuattro104d 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_Scum104d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood105d ago

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

LoveSpuds104d ago

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

generic-user-name104d 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.

Phoenix76104d 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.

goldwyncq104d ago

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

boing1104d 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.

Petebloodyonion185d 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.

lellkay298d ago (Edited 298d 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.

Demetrius298d 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
