@kaidorade1317 A modder is releasing a "Batman Arkham Origins Reimagined" that looks like a proper remaster, and he already did the same with Asylum and City.
@@doodgeslagenmug The graphics are similar to Assassin's Creed Nexus VR, but slightly better, in my opinion The game design also reminds me of Assassin's Creed Nexus VR For me is a positive thing because I loved AC Nexus VR, but if you didn't, well...
I look at this game the same way I look at Asylum. Sure it isn’t perfect and has a few rough spots, but it’s the first attempt to bring Arkham to VR in an authentic way. Camouflage have already hinted that they are hoping to work on a sequel, so think of this as Camouflage’s Asylum. It’s their first attempt at an Arkham game, and it’s pretty damn good.
@@ContrastCopy In the most recent Q&A they said that they hoped this game sold well because they don’t want this to be their last Batman game. It’s nothing concrete, but the VR community really needs a staple franchise to finally legitimize it. I’m a die hard VR fan and would die to see an Arkham resurgence in VR.
@@HeavyMorals hearing this may make me buy the game even as someone who hasn't played any Arkham games, VR just needs more games in general, the only thing that partially pushes me away is the meta exclusivity, I own a quest 3, it is the best overall headset on the market rn, but I also own a PSVR2 I use on PC and I prefer it sometimes depending on the game, and it just sucks knowing that I won't be able to play it with that headset
Sadly I don't think enough people own a Quest 3 for this awesome game to sell well. This game doesn't even have a metacritic entry. But we could still get a sequel if Meta pays them to do one. And Meta takes on projects that aren't profitable, because they're playing the long game and are doing what it takes to push the VR platform forward.
"Even as a VR game." VR games aren't inherently worse than flatscreen games. In fact, the gameplay and immersion is a lot better most of the time. The only thing they're really missing most of the time is budget and polish.
This game is good. it doesn't have to be compared to that disgusting mess to look good. The game perfectly translates the elements of a classic Arkham experience if anything it's a fine addition to the mythos I've seen the playthroughs.
I hope people start treating VR more seriously! It won't replace traditional gaming, but I think things like stealth and tight level design work really well in VR.
@@Drstrange3000did u see the live chat for the Arkham shadow premiere? All the chatters were clowns hating on it for being VR. I don't think it will be taken seriously any time soon, it's going to take time
@@Drstrange3000 I dismissed it as a gimmick but after seeing the passion from devs and respect they have for the mythos. Then seeing the game in action. I'll happily eat my words.
This game is a fine addition to the the arkham universe and it seems to perfectly translate all the beloved elements of the franchise. I'm eating my words because initially my response the game was one of dismissal "it's just another gimmicky game". Seeing the interviews and the respect the devs have for series convinced me and I'm not fault them for making a game for VR (it's what they specialize in). The hate largely came from Rocksteady's recent failure and hunger for a good DC games. These guys showed more respect to the mythos than the studio that created it.
For people buying a Quest to play this game - be aware you can also play all of the original DOOM games, all of the 90s Build Engine games (e.g. Duke 3D), Quake 1 & 2, Half-Life, Doom 3, and even the original Prey FOR FREE. Team Beef has released free VR ports for each (and more) - you just need to copy some game files from your PC. Oh, these ports support mods as well (Brutal Doom in VR is awesome). There is quite a lot of free & cool stuff you can do with Quest.
For anyone whos skeptical about VR, i totally understand. Up until now its not quite had the depth or visuals but it is now a good time to give it a try. Batman is the start of a chain of games that will be very immersive and thats what you cant conprehend until you try it, how immersive the experience is. You're not playing as batman, you are him. If a friend has a quest and batman, arrange giving it a try because most people cant believe how fun it is when you play a top tier game.

Bro I'm so excited for this. Getting it for shadow mainly at first, then I'll move on to previously released games for the headset and utilize any game on my pc. Can't wait to develop my own things as well Only played the daredevil vr teaser at a verison store and some star wars game at dave and busters and I'm YEARNING for my own
I recently watched a buddy of mine play through the Vader Immortal series. I've played it myself, but I think I almost enjoyed watching someone else react to it even more. There are other Star Wars VR games, but I really enjoyed the Vader Immortal series. Using the force in VR feels incredible.
@jadenthecommenter it was just a stationary advertisement for like season one or two of the show. It showed you abt three locations and you got to stand near the suit at the end. Can't for the life of me find it on youtube though or I'd link it
@gammasmash1924 ik that's the only thing I want to do if I go to Dave and bustera again. Also yeah I can't wait to let my family try stuff and (knowing the headset can survive in a dryer) hopefully have a funny stumble or two and not get hurt
would love to play it, but it’s a MetaQuest 3 exclusive. they announced on MetaQuest 2 that it was gonna be released for some reason. I’m just glad we’re still getting Arkham games.
I’ve been playing the game on quest 2 and it runs really good. You can just buy the game and then “pirate” the game for quest 2. I had to do the same thing for resident evil 4 when I only had the quest 1. I think locking a game that runs great on previous hardware to the newest console is a bit scummy but at least we have workarounds
Loads of great experiences on Q3 so this is one of the cherries on top..as for the strap ...flip a baseball cap and wear it over the top..works great and it's free
This and half life alyx are the best VR game overall I've ever played. I always think about how insane VR tech would be by now if the tech had took off and there was a billion dollar market instead of flat screen games. I think we'd be being close to unimaginable immersivness by now. Hopefully we'll get there in my lifetime
Half Life 2 plus Episode 1 and 2 are my all time favourite VR experiences! Vertigo 2 is also amazing! I’m currently playing Half Life 1 in Vr and once I finish that I’ll start on Batman.
@jamesleegte interesting, you liked vertigo 2? I was excited for it when it released i played it on psvr 2 and honestly did not like it at all. Even after the patches it looked terrible imo. Ik alot of people liked it tho, just didn't land with me.
@@emandm1822 like many psvr 2 ports they messed it up and ended up being a very poor port. I play it on pc and that’s the true game and why it’s so loved on steam. It rubs shoulders with half life Alyx and if it wasn’t for the fact I’m a half life fan boy and completely biased, you could argue some aspects of the game are better than Alyx. I love vertigo 2 and played through a couple of times choosing different character’s and sides to play through with.
My one personal deal-breaker is that it's exploration is more indoors, and not nearly as much outdoors over the city rooftops and streets. The first CGI teaser had me HOPING it would be like Arkham City/Knight in it's open world, but I'm guessing the headset couldn't handle that without a big graphical cutback.
@@Throbingkcoc The budget for this was through the roof for a Quest exclusive. But the open world design was likely due to the hardware, if they wanted to retain it's graphical quality.
One thing that ruins these games for me, is that there are several headsets on the market but so many vr games are exclusive to the quest. I have an older rift just laying around becauee most of the games id actually want to play are exclusive to the quest, and nobody should buy a second VR headset for a game.
The one thing I will say about this game is that if you already have a Quest 3 og 3S then you really really need to get it if you already like the Arkham series or Batman in general. You will feel more like Batman than ever before.
Most of the hate for this game comes from the PCVR community. That's the reason people hated on it before seeing the gameplay. In response to the hate I say "sorry we all can't afford Thousands of dollars for a PC to play VR games"
this game is blowing my expectations out of the water! The combat lets you swing your arms and randomly punch dudes if that's what you're feeling that fight but it also has a system that you can learn that feels like a perfect translation from flat screen to vr. from countering off screen enemy's, to combos, to slow mo finishers, it's all here in vr and it feels great! the batarang is back and is as easy as as grabbing it off your chest and flicking it to the nearest enemy. The stealth has all the same features as well from swinging on gargoyles and splitting single enemy's away from the group to get them when know one is looking to skulking around the vents on the way to your next opportunity. The writing doesn't feel like it was made to be campy or stupid but it feels like a full on arkham series writing. I havnt finished the story so i cant speak to the quality of the overall plot but the moment to moment dialogue doesnt feel cheap which is something i was worried about for an out of no one vr entree to a nonvr series. This game kept making me say wow, and made me feel even more like batman then arkham asylum did back when it was first released. I wish this game wasnt a quest exclusive though because I kept wanting to glide around the city like you can in arkham city and knight but so far the game has kept me to a more linear design. I understand that the hardware wouldnt allow for the same level of detail that the game currently has if they did open this game up to open world flying around so I understand why they left the free roaming to games with access to more engine power but I would still love to see that happen in the next ten years or so in another vr batman game. This game is now my second favorite vr game just under resident evil village so I seriously hope this game gets all the commercial success it deserves so that more great games like this can be made, lord knows we need them after games like the new assassins creed, suicide squad and concord all coming out and flopping this year.
My favourite vr game and one of my favourite batman experiences of all time. The Arkham series is my favourite series of all time and id place this 2nd on my list of all time favourite arkham games.
I really hope there's an option to get rid of all of the numbers while you're fighting. I think numbers flying out of a person as you're punching them takes away from the immersion.
I bought myself a 3 mainly because of arkham shadows and i got it for free when i got it but i planed on playing other vr games as well so its a very good investment
The one thing I want from stand alone VR is being able to interact with everything. I know it’s not a PC playing Half-Life Alyx but if you put something like a fridge or anything a chair anything the best part of VR for me is interacting with it all.
your hooks are being misread with your wide and quick swings. that jolt to the side is causing that direction to be your input. slow down on the wind up or go for a cross jab.
My regret is that I bought meta quest 3 the expensive version early to play Batman then heard news cheaper version coming out with the game on it and now I’m also buying game I did play other games like iron man,Vader immortal and assassins creed but Arkham shadow looks to be best game
If you bought in late September just talk to the meta team they will give you the credits to buy the game I just got it today the same way I got mine on September 20th
You came out with the better headset for the long run. I haven't really looked in to the 3S, but I believe that one is more a less a slightly upgraded Quest 2. I don't think you will have any regrets with the 3.
Now we need a horror VR game as a thug being hunted by Batman The first person segment of Arkham Knight had me scared as it was but a survival horror out running the Batman would be terrifying
I would've bought it by now if it was not Meta exclusive. I think at the very least these games should consider porting it to steamVR so that a majority of the VR headsets available could be used with it. As it stands, its another one that i will end up missing out on unfortunately. I will say Camoflauge have done a great job based on the footage i've seen. iron man vr was also a great game at the time minus the story.
@@moesotakumeta owns camouflage so it's very unlikely. It would be great if they developed a better relationship with valve though. I want hla standalone on the q4
You might want to pick a meta quest for the following reasons 1. Thats where all the money is going for big budget games 2. Pcvr games are coming to quest via cloud streaming 3. Pcvr just isnt the future of vr its standalone. Maybe you should hold off till theres a more powerful one but if your serious about vr games it might be wise to have one even if you use it as a pcvr headset
Buy a quest 3 because it’s amazing to watch movies and Netflix on, it’s got awesome games on the quest platform and I can play all my pcvr games on steam wirelessly using virtual desktop.
I just hope that as gamers we become more patient and less cynical towards VR games. When the announcement for this game came out, I remember the absolute negative backlash to it.
Off topic: I absolutely disagree on a new entry "ruining" a previous entry. If an old entry was enjoyable before the new entry, then it's still good now. Even in the case of retcons, the term *retroactive continuity* admits it wasn't that way from the start, and so the old entry still works as originally intended. On topic: Great review! The developer interviews have been really selling me on buying the cheaper Meta Quest 3S ($300) because Shadow is just looking to be so quality and lovingly made. I looked on the Meta store and there seems to be a pretty swell collection of games on there. Shooters, melee/sword combat, traversal games, and even funny looking titles such as "Gorilla Tag" and "Hide the Corpse." I think I'm gonna take the plunge.
I think we should take your opinion with a grain of salt. When you are given TWO free VR headset, you can’t be fully impartial about your opinion. To me it introduces a bias where you want to give some recognition for the things you were given. Companies know that and this is why they give youtubers free gift in order to lay down on the criticism. Anyway, thanks for sharing that bias right at the start
I think you should take it with a bag of salt honestly. That’s why I mention the special treatment before I get into the review, I wanna make sure people know what those biases are and can adjust their expectations accordingly.
The Game itself was really good, the story was interesting, and the pacing was perfect. I really love the inspiration they took from Arkham Asylum as it is my favorite of the series. HOWEVER: MY GOD is the game broken, almost nothing worked, at the start of the game I got soft locked because a gate was clipping through the floor stopping me from climbing through a vent. Without over exaggerating, the amount of times that I was either soft locked because progression didnt work, got stuck in a room, predator sections were empty, or my game just straight up crashing was at the VERY LEAST 20 times. The game isn't that long its about 6 or 7 hours in length, so trust me when I say with each and every soft lock I got more and more frustrated, the final mission of the game just KEPT breaking for me it was so frustrating I genuinely started crashing out. I'd wait to buy this game a couple of days later when they release a patch as it'll (Hopefully) fix most if not all the problems I had.
It may be a great game, but I already bought my Quest 3 when it first came out and there was no indication at that time about a Quest 3S or Batman game. If I do think about getting the Batman game in the future, it will only be when it is on sale at a very cheap price, under 20 dollars and becomes a STEAM game - which may never happen. So, I am in no hurry to get this game. I have many other great action games to play in VR on STEAM.
Just bought the quest 3s and honestly its great more like a 3 than a quest 2 they only took out a small amount of features as long as it can play quest 3 games its fine
@@musicaltymes for me its the graphics, lenses, and the fact the quest 3 is just better at fidelity not much but better, and for 200 bucks clarity still makes a biggggg difference and its sad the quest 3,2, and 3s are limiting on anything cause they have the specs to do more but they are afraid to push the boundries of their comfort i guess
bit of a spoiler but The falcone fight at blackgate really took a number out of me, I dunno if i was just being delusional but i swear that boss fight was wild. I aint complaining about it btw, it's a good fight.
This game seems cool for the stealth sections but VR seems like a complicated endeavour. Plus I got so many games I can play on controller and VR would just double my already large list of games, the idea of moving around while playing does sound cool admittedly, the idea of possibly doing exercise while playing games. I might look into it someday, it could take years even.
Just because something has a bad sequel doesn’t mean it ruins the original. That’s like saying suicide squad ruined Arkham games. And clearly it didn’t because you didn’t say that. Edit- further more please don’t start out a sponsored video like this, I feel like you trying to send the message that you are would be highly critical to the game if you didn’t like it. I’d much rather you just say “hey, this video is sponsored, so I’m gonna show off the game and talk about it” don’t try to make it a review. We get it. We would all take that deal. Just own it. Please.
Does it have a seated mode, I'm in a wheelchair and play a lot of VR but some games don't have a button crouch option and from the footage there is a lot of turning to fight different enemies, what are the turning option in BAS?
There is a dedicated cough button and while there can be a lot of turning in fights, you can bump up the turning speed to help with it. I played about an hour sitting down and it felt fine, but I know another RU-vidr that played most of the game sitting down and enjoyed it plenty!
I don't agree or understand when you say a bad game can ruin the whole series. That doesn't make sense to me. Joker 2 was bad but did it ruin Joker 1 for me? No. Why would it? If Arkham Shadow was horrible, it wouldn't ruin the other games. Why would it? I just don't get why you said that And maybe I was just dumb but I had no idea who the rat king was until the end
When it comes to VR, the UI elements always look bigger than they actually are. In my case, I always had it in my peripheral. I’ll check later today if there’s an option to turn them off or shrink them!
It's not coming to PSVR2. The Quest 3s has sold 25,000 units in the last 5 day and will probably sell alot more this holiday season. This is a system seller and Meta isn't going to let that escape their grasp.
@@Throbingkcoc Counterpoint: Warner Bros like money and sales will slow eventually. You really think they aren't gonna port it the second the contract closes with Meta or the money dries up? Lol.
@@PlebNCMeta developed the game themselves. This isn't a situation where meta paid for exclusivity from another developer, they made the damn game. (Camoflaj studios is part of meta)
@@randomseer Cool story. However Warner Bros has the rights to Batman games so if they say jump, Camoflaj will ask how high, as Warner Bros controls the pursestrings and whether to delist the game or not. Additionally Meta can't have the game published without Warner Bros' approval and if WB wants to they can request all the code and assets from Camoflaj and get a different studio to port it as all code and assets are technically WB's property under their publishing rights.
Any way for you to delete comments that are intentionally dropping spoilers in attempt to ruin the game for people that have not played it. I have played it but I think it’s screwed up to do to others.
