TheMightyEthan Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I will agree that the metroidvania work design of the original was better, but everything else was better in City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Should be "world design". Stupid phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCP Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Supposedly IGN Italy is saying Arkham Asylum + City are getting remastered? The only thing I love more than remasters of last gen games is people bitching about remasters of last gen games, so this is a pretty good morning for me. Personally, I don't mind the remasters, it's not like they take a lot of resources to make. Plus if they help people who've missed these games, or just really like them, then that's pretty good. I would have liked Origins in this collection, I did pick up the PS3 version for 10 dollars awhile back but I never got around to playing it and at this point I think I'm done with PS3.

toxicitizen Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 They're a cheap and easy way to generate revenue while they keep working on new titles, so I understand why they keep getting made. Besides, as a primarily PC gamer, they're kinda worthless to me. But I'm really not a fan of how reselling you a game has replaced backwards compatibility.

TCP Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Totally. I mean on PS4, I can kind of get it, since you can't emulate the Cell architecture. Going forward onto PS5 and whatnot it'd be nice if backwards compatibility was back. It was better last gen when they were turning SD games into HD, but it's still nice having some of these games on the platforms, especially they're higher res and faster frame rate. We just need Red Dead and Skyrim now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 People have legit complaints about remasters? If folks don't like 'em, they don't have to buy 'em. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I think it's because there's a misconception that we're getting remasters instead of new releases. I feel like most of the complaints are coming from folks who haven't the faintest clue about the industry and shouldn't even be commenting on it in the first place. Like, I've seen people on NeoGAF borderline outraged that Konami gets to "keep" Metal Gear after Kojima leaves. And seriously asking if Kojima owns the Metal Gear IP. And I'm like how in the hell do you guys not understand how this shit works?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 People have legit complaints about remasters? If folks don't like 'em, they don't have to buy 'em. Feast your eyes onto this fucking disaster. I don't understand why people get so upset. If you don't like it, don't buy it, if enough people agree with you they'll stop making them... or if they don't clearly there's a demand for this so shut up. Like, I've seen people on NeoGAF borderline outraged that Konami gets to "keep" Metal Gear after Kojima leaves. And seriously asking if Kojima owns the Metal Gear IP. And I'm like how in the hell do you guys not understand how this shit works?! Ahahahahaha. Nothing is so frustrating but also simultaneously hilarious when gamers can't figure out how basic fucking business works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I'm kinda bummed Origins isn't going to be in it. Sure it's not as good as Asylum or City, but it was fun enough, and I actually really liked Cold Cold Heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I'm guessing it's meant more as a Rocksteady Collection. They never really acknowledged Origins, going so far as to refer to Arkham Knight as the conclusion of their trilogy. Origins is in that weird spot for me where I thought it was decent but I'm mostly indifferent towards it. It didn't need to exist, and I almost kinda wish it didn't because of how it diminished my interest in the series. Kinda like Assassin's Creed Revelations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I was just going to say that I'd be happy if I could just buy them for cheap on the PS3 so I could get trophies (I played them on PC). So I checked their prices, and apparently I already have them. Huh... Must have been free for PS+ I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'm guessing it's meant more as a Rocksteady Collection. I would agree with you, but Rocksteady's not doing the conversion. Or at least, I thought I read that, but now I can't find the source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 That's not very surprising. You don't give that kinda work to your all-star team, you put the b-team on it or even outsource it. But perhaps even internally Origins is considered to be somewhat of a standalone or separate thing from the main series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Yeah, I mean I get that it's the Hobbit to Rocksteady's Lord of the Rings, but it would still be nice if it had been included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 It's more like including Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in an Indiana Jones boxset. Sure, it counts, but it's NOT WELCOME. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 lol, my first thought for an analogy was the Alien Quadrilogy I have, that includes Resurrection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Alien Resurrection is way better than Crystal Skull, though. Like, not even close. And that pack doesn't include the AvP movies now, does it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I would actually trade Resurrection for AvP: Requiem. Not the first AvP though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Wait, what?! The original AvP was meh but enjoyable enough, imho. Kinda like Mortal Kombat and the first Resident Evil movie (coincidentally, all by the same director), far from great but not offensively bad or anything. But I thought AvP: Requiem was unwatchable garbage. It bored the shit out of me so much that I actually lost track of what was going on.

Strangelove Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) I was really hoping that shoehorning co-op/multiplayer into everything would die with the previous generation. Guess not. Otherwise, still looks good aside from Robin looking like he's ripped right out of Batman Forever. I was also thinking that Rocksteady is so obsessed with trying to trick people that Arkham Knight might actually be Bruce Wayne and theres some sort of big misunderstanding. Not Bruce Wayne being the bad guy, just making it seem that way. Basically a ripoff of Metal Gear Solid 2.

toxicitizen Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Didn't they say a while back that there wouldn't be any kind of multiplayer? Those might just be team-up attacks with an AI partner. At least, I hope so... Also, I still think Arkham Knight is Jason Todd. The way they tried to make it sound like him having his own story DLC somehow debunked that theory seemed so half-assed that at this point I'd be more surprised if it wasn't him. Another interesting theory I've heard, and I guess I'll spoiler this because it's from a side-quest in Arkham City, is that it's Hush. Last time we saw him, he had stitched himself up to look like Bruce Wayne. I'm not as convinced on this one but I'd be kinda pissed if they didn't resolve that story thread in some way, at least in another side-quests.

Strangelove Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Jason Todd is too obvious. It would be as predictable as Joker still being alive. At this point Joker being dead would be the real surprise. No one cares about Hush. It wouldnt surprise anyone. Maybe Hush is Batman and AK is Wayne. Thats the only way that would be interesting to the average fan of Batman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
