Decent scores for a first generation launch VR title. I'm really excited from what I've seen.

giancarlo123x · Oct 6, 2016

A lot higher than expected.

DangerMouse · Oct 6, 2016

Can't wait. Think this will be one of my first to try.

The Omega Man · Oct 6, 2016

this game is on my radar now

Gurish · Oct 6, 2016

Really great scores for such kind of game, it must be a pretty awesome VR experience.

Jarod McChicken · Oct 6, 2016

This and Until Dawn : Rush of Blood are scoring way higher than expected, it looks like they were priced accordingly from a reviewer standpoint. Eagerly waiting for some Driveclub new impressions !

gofreak · Oct 6, 2016

Eurogamer seemed to like it too:

Arkham VR could be thrown into the 'tech demo' category that so many games at this stage will be, and that wouldn't be a total disservice - it is more of an experience than anything else. At the same time, however, that's failing to understand or appreciate what this is: a superbly crafted concept that satisfies an itch many people have been craving for years.

If this is the future of PSVR - even with debatable running times - then sign me up. It's excellent.

Thanks gofreak.

I want a new version of Time Crisis for PSVR.

Definitely. Heard plenty of mixed things about this but these reviews have piqued my interest loads. Looking forward to giving it a go next week.

for sure

"lookin at stuff and you throw some batarangs that are auto aimed" seems like something that wouldn't be worth spending time on, let alone putting a review on but very interesting that it seems there is something there

Gemeanie · Oct 6, 2016

Haven't watched anything since the initial reveal trailer but with the $100 for $15 promo on PSN this is now on my radar along with Rez, Thumper and Superhypecube.

KORNdoggy · Oct 6, 2016

want it...but don't want to have to buy 2 move controllers :/

same for farpoint...want it...but don't really want to buy that gun peripheral to get the most out of it.

jett · Oct 6, 2016

This feels generous based on what I've seen and considering the barrier of entry.

Jacksinthe · Oct 6, 2016

Give me Spider-Man VR.

Seriously.

its $20?

If you are talking about the barrier to VR, that shouldn't effect the quality of individual software.

This is good value for $20 on an individual piece of software IMO.

wapplew · Oct 6, 2016

Early days for VR titles, reviewer don't have great VR title as reference point yet.

K' Dash · Oct 6, 2016

I think 360 Launch Perfect Dark Zero when I see those scores.

ethomaz · Oct 6, 2016

Not bad.

DavidDesu · Oct 6, 2016

I preordered last night after seeing and hearing more about it. Definitely seems like one of those games you'll use to show it off to friends and family. Even if it's only a couple of hours, it sounds like a pretty mind blowing couple of hours.

We need a detective game (or several) in VR where you literally have to look and rummage around for clues and piece together the case in a practical way. Arkham VR seems like a great first step towards some really immersive stuff like that's.

They could adapt so many old arcade games to VR and cause so many nostalgiagasms. I cosign this and Time Crisis for sure.

Badlucktroll · Oct 6, 2016

Can you play arkham vr with just a controller?

Badenergytroll said:

Yes.

From Eurogamer:

Arkham VR works if you're standing or sitting, and it supports DualShock as well as one- or two-handed Move controls. It works best when you're standing and using Move, though: rather than reaching for gadgets and interacting with the environment through face buttons and thumbsticks, you get your hands on Batman's hands, pulling grapnel gun, forensic scanner and Batarangs off your utility belt by yourself, gripping levers, twisting keys and, in a surprisingly memorable opening sequence, suiting up in the Batcave and fitting the cowl yourself.

Freeman76 · Oct 6, 2016

This looks like the kind of thing my inner child needs

ffvorax · Oct 6, 2016

Looks like one of the more VR experiences for PSVR, with limitations of the actual PSVR & PS4 power.
Was not interested at first, but now I'm damn curious about...

WAY higher than I expected.

Markitron · Oct 6, 2016

I won't be getting a PSVR till Christmas, but this is gonna be the first thing I load up, followed by Battlefront and Eve Valkyrie.

Jacksinthe said:

Seriously.

I'd actually be surprised if it didn't ship with an exclusive VR stage, just like Tomb Raider. That would shift some units alright.

Alexlf · Oct 6, 2016

Wow, I'm impressed. Might have to put this on the "day 1" list.

Kaako · Oct 6, 2016

$20 is cheaper than most VR software/tech demo/early access stuff out there no? Pretty good pricing for a decent "be the batman" experience.

Mdk7 · Oct 6, 2016

wapplew said:

I'd pay 50$ for a VR version of that.

Yea I've noticed VR software prices in general differ significantly and seem to be more up to what the devs/publishers think they can get away with. Noticed this first with the Vive software/tech demos on Steam and a bit now with PSVR. Prices will be all over the place for a while.

GeoramA · Oct 6, 2016

Looks like such cool experience. Watching Greg Miller play it was hilarious.

Briarios · Oct 6, 2016

I was getting this anyway, but ... those scores are much better than I expected. Nice to know.

Neuromancer · Oct 6, 2016

I was probably going to get the Batmans anyway but that Eurogamer review put me over the edge. I'm really looking forward to it now.

Not exactly the same, but there is this game on Vive Island 359

Draper · Oct 6, 2016

Blah.
