A New Arkham VR Game... Batman: Arkham Shadow Announcement Trailer (My Thoughts and Reaction) 

I can only speak for myself, but it's because of the genre shift. The style of the Arkham games is so iconic and addicting that it's still being copied to this day (successfully and poorly). Not to mention this is the first Arkham game we've gotten in a hot minute and it's disappointing to see that they're going this route instead of utilizing what the fanbase (and myself) like about the games. I think it would be different if they did what RE is doing where it's an additional feature on top of the base game. It is also unfortunate that I do have a VR but from my understanding because I have a Quest 2 I won't be able to play it :/ there's no hate on VR for me, i just wish we got another Arkham game with the same style as the other games

@@AntonioRedgrave I just mean the overall tone, everyone is always like “it’s a VR game” but for us “ITS A VR GAME!!” Lol. We have seen the story time and time again, Assassin’s Creed fans furious, games comes out “this is the best thing AC has done in 10 years” Half Life fans “omg are you kidding me” Plays Alyx, “one of the greatest gaming experiences of all time”. I get the exclusivity issue, but this is only the second first party exclusive ever locked to the Quest platform since the Quest platform has been around. Everyone who bought a Quest 3 was furious because there was no reasons to actually have one, now there is. This is a big deal for VR and it’s because it’s a franchise that is loved by so many. VR is growing every year and more consistently we’re getting full games like Asgards Wrath 2 a 100+ hour RPG for example. Many of the IPs are VR IPs so many people from the outside don’t know them even though the unknown IPs are some of the best games in VR. A large majority of VR gamers play traditional games and love it, pretend like we understand the people who don’t like it but we don’t. We think VR is magical and amazing, and if more people knew how great games VR had to offer. I think people would have a different perspective on VR. We see it all the time, people come from flat gaming and after some research, they find out that they were totally wrong about VR. It’s taking a while for us to grow, but every year we gain millions of new VR users. I just hope that someday we see a shift, and that’s what games like this are truly for. I don’t think VR would be trying to take your IPs if the mainstream gaming audience actually respected the IPs that we do have. I really do hope that you get a Quest 3 and play this game, because the studio is very talented and they WILL do your game justice. The same disappointment that you feel not getting your Arkham game is the same disappointment that we feel when we see everyone so negative about VR. It’s such a shame 😭 we feel like the redheaded step child 😂 LOVE US

I agree they're kinda coming off as crybabies 😂 like even the quest 2 guys are crying because the devs want to expand and utilize the power of the 3 rather than keep putting out limited content on the previous gen headsets. VR is the future of gaming so don't get mad when AAA games want to take a break from flat games

Well written, bro

No vr game is good

I’m sorry but do you have a VR console? Well if you do then you would not be able to play it if it isn’t a Quest 3. And now, would you pay around $500 USD or more just to play a single game in which might not be as long as the other games or as good in terms of narrative and gameplay? That’s the point of the hate, is not the VR, is that is an EXCLUSIVE for ANOTHER CONSOLE that most people don’t have. Whether because they don’t like VR games or because they don’t want or can spend that much money on a single console that would eventually accumulate dust after you play it a couple of times. Is not worth it, you would just waste your money. And if by some miracle you have it and you play it, then congratulations for falling into the marketing campaign and for hoping for a sequel or more development that will never come.

@@gerardoespinoza4335 damn. You wrote a big ass book 😂

Huh? VR has plenty of games. Do you own a VR headset? I have a Quest 3 and there library is very extensive. Not sure what your talking about exactly.

@@Giants83 I meant that most people don't know about it, but when the game is announced and they find out about it, they get angry

My B on getting Ratcatcher's name wrong, and I also totally forgot he died so you might be right if that's what they're alluding to. I think the complaining is appropriate to express that this isn't what we want from the Arkham series, and the like to dislike ratio is a big indicator that people do not want another VR game after all these years.

@@AntonioRedgrave people are mad because they have no idea how much vr has progressed in the last 8 years. This won’t be a tech demo it will be fleshed out have decent gameplay, I’d put money on that. One criticism I totally understand is the meta quest 3 exclusivity, that bit sucks

I think because not many have an VR system. And the game is a meta quest exklusive, so other VR system won't work for it. The rest of the anger is just leftover from ssktjl.

I don't care for the game, but I feel like most of the dislike comes from how they went about showing it. Try to understand from their perspective. From it's title, no one would have expected it to be VR until they clicked on the video. They were filled with hype and excitement only for it to be demolished with significant disappointment in less than 10 seconds. There's some people in the world who don't care about VR, some who can't play VR because of health conditions, some who can't afford VR or simply don't have enough space in their room. These are completely understandable and valid reasons and we shouldn't bash on them for it. I mean, who would want to get a Meta Quest 3 just for one game? I don't know, maybe if they named it Arkham Shadow VR, the massive dislike for this wouldn't have been so severe. I'm sure it'll be a fine game, probably even better than Suicide Squad, but I personally don't see myself playing it.

Why?

Same, this is somehow worse than having no Arkham game for the next 5 years.

@@fatmanjstyle5306 it hasn't even come out yet and you guys are dogging on it

🤬 Fuck u, we out here starving for one good game in vr. Meta quester stopped believing in our Lord and Savior zuck. Zuck bucks trading at 0.00 USD right now. Go play zelda botw or fuck a bear I'm balder gate or something. We need this one game, we need a hero🥲.

@@Freyja_Broko ikr

I think a lot of people are missing the main criticism; It's not because it's a VR game with Batman, it's because it's an *Arkham* game that's once again a VR exclusive. It's a complete genre shift that takes away a core aspect of why people enjoy this series, and a very justifiable reason to express their problems with it. If this was just a regular Batman game that had no connection to the Arkham series, people would not be complaining about it.

I completely understand that. Perhaps what I'm trying to get at is more general in purpose. Sony, Xbox, Nintendo have a huge collection of games and many exclusives. Compared to those companies VR is very young and doesn't have any real blockbuster exclusives. I feel while this game might upset many since it's a quest 3 exclusive I also feel it could open the door to many that want to try VR out. Especially if the game ends up being a success. I understand the uproar with those a little frustrated but for the Die hard VR users like myself and many across the world this is a pretty cool moment to be getting a high profile game like Batman exclusively for the VR.

Correct.

The hate has nothing to do with the quest 3. It has all to do with the fact that a huge majority of the Arkham fans do not want another VR game.

The hate is because them making this a vr exclusive is a spit in the face to the Arkham fanbase because I assure you none of us wanted another vr Arkham game

Then I guess you won't be able to play it. Sucks for you.

There's a Chrome extension for it. This one is specifically called Return RU-vid Dislike by Dmitry Selivanov & Community

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they retconned parts of the comics, especially if it's not Rocksteady doing it

there is no arkham story in knight about ratcatcher it's in city and says that he just dissapear he's not 100% dead

@@AntonioRedgrave true, wouldnt be the first time, absolutely wont be the last Also, love the content Mr. Redgrave, keep it up

Looking at the suit Batman is wearing in this teaser this game is set in between Origins and Asylum. Ratcatcher was still alive during that time period.

I appreciate the comment! It definitely is better than nothing, new lore is new lore; I just miss the gameplay 😭

@@AntonioRedgrave Of course, but we will always have those games to go back to. I like seeing new things people add to this franchise (Accept SSKTJL lmao).
