[AHA-Lambda]

Still total crap Origins isn't in this

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Finally lol

I'll probably pick this up.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Took them long enough to announce it.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

No chance of BC for XB1 then, sigh

 

[Acquiescence]

Hah, they stonewalled Origins.

 

[The Flash]

Oh what a surprise.

 

[MMaRsu]

No Origins no buy

 

[Napalm_Frank]

No Origins, no buy ;3

 

[DeathSparks]

Took you long enough WB, still neat though

 

[strafer]

they not including Origins is the dumbest shit ever

im passing on this

 

[Ghost Slayer]

The only game I haven't played is not in the remaster. Oh well, my money will go to Bioshock remaster then

 

[jmaine_ph]

The two Arkham games I never played. Perfect.

 

[nortonff]

No Origins, no buy.
And I mean that.

 

[Dinjooh]

Return to Akrham, huh?

Sounds exotic.

 

[Inferno313]

Return to Akrham, lol.

 

[LAM09]

Still total crap Origins isn't in this

Best one out of the bunch IMO

 

[Dirtyshubb]

Still total crap Origins isn't in this

My thoughts exactly, it was the only one i never got round to picking up so it would have pushed me over the edge to pick this up but at the moment i will probably wait until its on sale.

 

[WraithWalker1893]

About damn time they announced this. But anywho

No Origins, no buy. Sorry WB but that's the way it is. You brought this on yourself.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

#NoOriginsNoBuy

Lol

 

[dancrane212]

Guess I'll finally give this series another go after GFWL killed my save and interest in the first game. Appreciate the characters models loosing some of the bad "Unreal 3" look.

Not the best comparison but here's a look.

Old

Remaster

 

[Lucifon]

Wait, when did people suddenly start caring about Origins so much. Last I remember everyone was crapping all over it...

 

[pswii60]

Thought this was announced a year ago?!

 

[Xater]

Still total crap Origins isn't in this

Probably would have eebn more because they would have to fix the game.

 

[Staf]

Getting it for that sweet sweet Asylum.

 

[NoKisum]

So does this mean Origins is not canon?

 

[uncleniccius]

The only one I haven't played is Origins so it is a shame that it is missing.. Especially as it is meant to be quite good.

Are we don't to just Bioshock in terms of collections we all but know about that aren't confirmed?

 

[Corpsepyre]

Origins needs more love.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

No Origins, no buy.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I continue to be amazed at the change in attitude towards Origins since its initial release.

Guess I really need to check it out at some point.

 

[xRaizen]

Thought this was announced a year ago?!

It's WB's worst kept secret lol.

 

[RoKKeR]

Jesus, about time.

 

[Cheat Code]

Total bullshit for not including Origins.

The only one very few people have played.

 

[tilomite!]

I wonder why they wouldn't include Orgins.

 

[VilleEricson]

About time... Ridiculous that Origins isn't a part of it though...

 

[jmaine_ph]

I continue to be amazed at the change in attitude towards Origins since its initial release.

Same here.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

WB Marketing team continues to not understand how to make good boxart. Yikes.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Worst kept secret. What are the enhancements?

 

[bryanee]

All this no buy. Day one

 

[Cardon]

Will purchase and double-dip for the best Arkham game, that which is Asylum.

 

[Duxxy3]

Sweet, no origins!

Might have to buy.

 

[Jeffrey]

'critically acclaimed stories'

Wait, says who?

1st was ok, but 2 was horrendous. Batman was basically every super villains delivery boy for most of the game.

Origins was my favorite story wise, but that game apparently never existed?

 

[deriks]

So Warner will have my money again

 

[napalmjam]

Couldn't go back I did enjoy them but they felt like a slog

 

[Hasney]

I'll pass thanks. Think they were alright games and all, but not something I'd probably ever play again.

Should really play Origins on PC one of these days.

 

[Garlador]

Only one I haven't played is Origins.

... WB, pls.

WB Marketing team continues to not understand how to make good boxart. Yikes.

Yeah. Really special boxart for a character with so many iconic comic book covers.

 

[backflip10019]

I wonder why they wouldn't include Orgins.

Wasn't it a different studio?

Still, no excuse for it being excluded.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Probably would have eebn more because they would have to fix the game.

Based on my experience

Spoiler

as a PC gamer

, this wouldn't have stopped WB from releasing it anyway.

 

[Inferno313]

Anything this adds that I don't already have by owning the PC versions? Or is it just a 1080P/60FPS port?

 

[the_batman]

doesn't look like it'll run at 60fps since there's no option in the video. shame.
