Next gen machines will have no problem doing this.

mafiahajeri3912d ago

I remember Arkham asylum didn't have physx on consoles, papers wouldn't fly around when you jumped into a pile of then etc. Is it on console versions of origins?

InMyOpinion3912d ago

I don't find it particularly impressive even for this gen to be honest.

AznGaara3912d ago

I wouldn't say they'd have no problem doing it. PhysX actually causes some strain on the GPU if its turned all the way up. While Nvidia did announce PhysX support on the two consoles, since both are using AMD GPUs it'd most likely be software based rather than hardware based which will cause more stain on the GPU and even the CPU.

But yes. PhysX is a good thing. The sewer level on Borderlands 2 with is all the way up looks AMAZING.

"Next gen machines will have no problem doing this"

See blatantly STUPID comments like this is what I HATE!

1. Next Gen Machines are using AMD GPU's. FACT!

2. Physx is a Proprietary Feature ONLY found in NVIDIA GPU's. FACT!

3. So just exactly how can next Gen machines do Physx when they are NOT using Nvidia GPU's?

4. Now there are ways to edit the ".ini" files to force an AMD card to offload physx to the CPU but you better have a HD7950 or better to maintain playable frames

PC AMD Gpu required for Physx HD 7950
PS4 = HD7850
XB1 = HD7790

Definitely not worth losing 30fps for, they should have gone for a recent version of physx

MegaMohsi3912d ago

I hope it's better optimized than Arkham City. The DX11 + physx killed fps, I can't run it at consistent 60fps at 1080p

johny53912d ago

I know the cape is supposed to look realistic with physic x on but for some reason it doesn't look as real as the cape in Arkham City with or with out physic x! Ironic huh?

Feralkitsune3912d ago

I use an older GPU to handle Physx processing. So, I don't take any hits from this. Always nice to have.

stragomccloud3912d ago

I've heard about doing that. How does that work? If it's not too much effort, I would totally buy a second nvidia card just for taking heat off the main GPU.

jamz43912d ago

Very little effort, basically just plug it in and enable it in 'configure surround, physx'. Watch your power consumption though. About a gts450 is fine, I used a 8800gts 512 but only got about 10% more fps.

Are_The_MaDNess3912d ago (Edited 3912d ago )

all depends on the genration gap. if its to huge say like 3 gens or something it will actually be slower than just running it on one GPU.

say if you have a 500-700 series card you can get away with like a 460 or a 560 for physx, maybe even less. just put the card in and put it as dedicated in the Driver

Linus did a video about the subject two years back with 580s
here: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

just dont let your card be too old and you will be fine.

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_Scum133d ago

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

Cacabunga133d ago

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

ZeekQuattro132d 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. 🤣

Exvalos133d 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.

ZeekQuattro132d 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_Scum132d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood133d ago

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

LoveSpuds132d ago

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

generic-user-name132d 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.

Phoenix76133d 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.

goldwyncq133d ago

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

boing1133d 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.

Petebloodyonion213d 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.

lellkay327d ago (Edited 327d 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.

Demetrius326d 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
