Not really a surprise that WB are snubbing their PC customers with this remaster. That's standard operating procedure.
Appears that it's going to be 30fps on consoles (based on the trailer being 30fps and no mention of a framerate boost in the PR), so there is now not going to be a definitive version of these games.
Origins is the weakest imo, but it is still an odd omission.
Overall this seems like a poor way to handle a remaster.

Bummed Origins got left out in the cold, but UE4 bright me back. Looks like I'm triple dipping.
WB decides when the game gets released not Rocksteady. Rocksteady can't stop them.

not every game needs 60fps
But regardless, is this really Unreal Engine 4? Doesnt really look different. Sure would explain why there is no fps bump.

So excited. I can't wait to replay these.
I've been kicking myself for trading in the cheap copy of Asylum -- the best one -- that I bought, even though I got a great deal. I missed it when it was free, too.
I bought one version, played most of it, then got sidetracked. When I decided to go back to it, I opted to play the other version and sold the original one. That's why I got it cheap. I had picked it up at launch.

I'd love to replay these games, but why not Origins?
I didn't got to play it when it was released because I was already on the PS4 bandwagon.

Yes! I've been waiting for this! I get to play the trilogy for the first time.
And yes I know no Origins.

It'll be a real shame for me is these remasters don't run at 60fps. Just imagine the free flow combat running at 60fps on console.

That's probably because not even WB would have the nerve to sell a marked-up copy to PC gamers who already bought the games for peanuts already. UE4 or not they don't look any better than the already glorious PC versions, which indeed run at a decent FPS too.

You either die Game of the Year, or you live long enough to see yourself be remastered.

Batman at 60FPS is so wonderful though. The PC versions are just pure eye candy with the cape flowing and jumping around smacking dudes around.

Why isn't 'Origins' included...
I wonder...
You could probably find something like this in 90% of games available. How silly lol

I see nothing wrong. Batman is being attacked by a tiny green box in the upper right corner. He's trying to escape from it, obviously.
and where the hell is this shit WB??
Amazon Germany: Batman Arkham Origins Complete Edition, Release: August 21
They'd have to finish fixing it to put that out.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Looolllll whatever. You're taking PC fanboyism to just about the limit right now.

It was fun for a few hours. I would of preferred Co-op challenges against AI.

I primarily play on the PC and I can admit that this version looks better than the existing PC versions I own due to the PBR shading implementation of UE4 alone especially in that screen with Batman holding Joker.

WB are a hack publisher. I really dislike them. Probably the worst for pre-order bullshit and DLC. Scummy company.
RS are ace though, and I am a little disappointed Origins is missing. I know it's a different dev, but still.

I own the games on console too
I'm basing that on the trailer alone and having played the PC versions to death so YMMV.How about ludicrous model scaling!
I appreciate I'm being a little facetious, they all had their fair share of jank. But perhaps fixing origins was too big a job? With a bit of luck we'll get it on 360BC around the time of release, now that double disc games are coming.

Weird, I could've sworn this was announced not that long ago. Not interested, but I'm sure there are plenty of people who haven't played these.

So its 30fps?

You need to look at the screens in the OP. The trailer is crap, IMO.
Probably would have eebn more because they would have to fix the game.
That would be Knight PC.

I couldn't care less about origins, but this price seems high. Ill probably bite when the price hits 30.

I guess that is the point though. The screenshots in the OP look much better than the footage in the trailer.

Return to Akrahm?
Definitely, UE4 is pretty performance hungry.

I'd probably care about a graphical update if the games had a nice art style.

What are the chances WB will add Origins Remastered, but only as part of a $120 Special Limited Collectors Edition of Batman: Return to Arkham?

At least that bug doesn't seem to have ruined your game.Why isn't 'Origins' included...
I wonder...
I was 10 hours into Origins before I fell through the floor into a void and the game autosaved, forcing me to restart the entire fucking thing because it doesn't have multiple saves.
Even if the game wasn't buggy, it's still my least favorite because of how they slowed down Batman's punches in the combat when the enemies seemed to be the same speed. It just made it feel like he was stuck in molasses when he slowly winds up his punch and a random goon lightly bops you on the back of the head ruining your combo.
It's also almost impossible to unlock everything in the first playthrough because some stuff is gated behind completing Challenges that HAVE to be completed in order. If you solve a later challenge first it doesn't count and you'll need to do it again once you're allowed to. The challenges are also bugged; I spent forever trying to get a Stealth section challenge (one where there are only about 2 spots in the entire game where it's possible to get) and once I did it it didn't trigger.
And I'm sure they'll throw in that collector's edition Batmobile they cancelled too, since we're dreaming.
... Prove me wrong, WB.
I may buy this, the remaster does look pretty nice.
Origins deserves to be there though. People wrote it off prematurely as soon as they heard it was being done by another studio. But it's a fine addition to the series and definitely worthy of being on a remastered collection.
Not to mention that parts of it ran like sludge on PS3, so it'd be nice to see it at a smooth frame rate on console.
