Batman: Arkham Origins Puts A Hit On The PS3 Hard-Drive

TGH Writes: "Now some may consider hard-drive installs a non-issue with many upgrading but given that we are at the beginning of a new console generation and that this is the time of the year of many great AAA releases, some may have to choose which games they put on their hard-drive wisely. Especially those with lacking space."

I have 250GB and out of space already. deleting some game I've decided to shelve.

jc485733841d ago

they keep saying digital is the future, but we can't even fit all the games we want in our personal HDD. I mean, if I went full digital, I don't think I would have half of what I have right now (not even a quarter).

DeadManV3841d ago

I have an original 60 gig - i have to delete games constantly.

Pillsbury13841d ago

Ouch that's harsh, I had a 40gb fatty till lens crapped out. That is one of the reason I didn't get ps+ when it first came out, no room.

Deadpoolio3841d ago

Why exactly would you have a 60gb and not change the HDD? It literally takes less than 3 minutes.

DeadManV3841d ago

@deadpoolio
I would but i spend my money on games, nothing left for a new HDD

bryam19823841d ago

Jajaja we ps owners laugh at those kind.of.installs since.we can.upgraded hdd anytime we want save this sad articles for xbox owners

MestreRothN4G3841d ago

I'll spare you the clicks for this very weak "article".

Basically: "Batman Arkham Origins has a 4.7 mandatory installation. Thought you'd like to know."

cervantes993841d ago

Thanks.

Because 4.7GB is soooo large. Please.

Have a bubble for saving me a click :)

NukaCola3841d ago

lol, the only hit is the one this website is looking for. 4.7gb is doesn't compare to other mandatory HDD installs on consoles.

DragonKnight3841d ago

This site made a big deal out of 4.7GB? Did the author not see the size of Ni No Kuni's install? 4.7GB is like an average size. Maybe if this was MGS4 back in the day then there'd be an article, but today? Wow. +Bubbles

cervantes993841d ago

If your hard drive is full here are some options ...

Option 1: Delete some data
Option 2: Install a bigger hard drive
Option 3: It's 2013 - quit bitching (if you are the bitchy type that is).

Hard drives are faster than optical drives - why would you not want to install?

Pillsbury13841d ago

I know you are so forward thinking but do you stop to think some people still like physical media? Next gen a lot more people are going to go digital but not completely. Even if you had a 1TB and bought everything digital it will fill up very soon.

cervantes993841d ago

I always buy physical media for every game that has a retail release.

I was referring to the install size and how some people always bitch about it.

I guess I see how my comment could have been construed as a little condescending. I only meant this whole "install" issue is a little old. Installs have been on PCs for decades and this process is practically mandated for next gen (not for Sony but MS - although install improves performance so why not install it)

BLAKHOODe3841d ago

That's the cool thing about next gen, though.. you can play while you download. So, if you run out of space and have to delete something and decide that you want to play that something again later, you don't have to WAIT for it to download again.. you can just go ahead and play it.

jagstatboy3841d ago

Anyone know if we will be able to save or install game data on an external drive with the PS4?

DragonKnight3841d ago

Save yes, install not likely. That's just a small step towards pirating.

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_Scum107d ago

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

Cacabunga107d ago

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

ZeekQuattro107d 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. 🤣

Exvalos107d 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.

ZeekQuattro107d 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_Scum107d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood108d ago

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

LoveSpuds107d ago

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

generic-user-name106d 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.

Phoenix76107d 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.

goldwyncq107d ago

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

boing1107d 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.

Petebloodyonion188d 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.

lellkay301d ago (Edited 301d 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.

Demetrius301d 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
