Really hoping they add Origins as doing so would guarantee a buy from me.

 

[RoboPlato]

Given how awful it looked last time we saw it I this is probably for the best.

 

[Davide]

Hopefully they're taking the time to reverse the downgrade.

Remastered on the left

 

[KZXcellent]

Didn't the screenshots for this look worse than the original games? They better delay it to give it some polish, though with it being WB I don't know if it will.

 

[Tagyhag]

Good, give it to someone else, that collection is just a slap to the face to potential buyers.

"What are you gonna do? Get a PC? You'll buy this because you have no other choice"

Fucking hate it when remasters are shitted out for a quick buck like that.

 

[Maximo]

Considering how garbage it looked thats fine with me.

 

[Dominator]

Hopefully they are fixing how awful it looked compared to the originals. Still blows my mind how that happened. I get they switched engines but I mean... how.

Delay is for the best. I wonder how long it will be though. Bet it slips into early 2017.

What the...

 

[TheVampire]

Oh well

We have already been to Arkham anyway.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Just cancel it at this point....shit, gonna have to rebuy my Batman games for 360

 

[texhnolyze]

Wait. So what's on the right?

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Origins+fix the remasters and I will support this release.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

You'd really think WB would treat this franchise with a bit more care than they have been over the past couple years. Having to delay a remaster with no new ETA is kind of crazy to me and makes me think this project has problems at the fundamental level.

Hopefully they can get things figured out, because I'd love to buy a great remastered package of these games.

 

[Geedorah]

Wait. So what's on the right?

Original PC release I take it. Probably supersampled.

 

[Calm Mind]

DrTre81 did a video on it a while back. The quality or lack thereof was apparent early on that this was not ready at all. I'm expecting it to slip to a 2Q 2017 release at best.

 

[Davide]

Wait. So what's on the right?

PC at max settings.

For more context, the 360 version is in the middle here.

 

[Undead Fantasy]

 

[Trace]

Good. Game looked like horseshit.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Excellent. Take 12 months, make it a clear upgrade over the PC version in terms of assets, and package in Origins.

PC release with updated assets would also be appreciated.

 

[Crono27]

This. But you know this won't happen.

 

[BruceCLea]

Good. "Remaster" looked like shit.

 

[Mechazawa]

PC release with updated assets would also be appreciated.

There is only one appropriate response to this.

"lol"

Them not adding Origins made me buy a used copy of Origins and I loved it. At this point even if they add Origins it will be a complete no buy for me.

 

[aussiedude08]

good, the remaster screens looked like crap. not surprised since it wasnt at E3.
It needed a lot of work.

I also hope they include Origins now but doubt they will.

 

[KingBroly]

Eh...I'd say it's likely to be cancelled or they're delaying it so they can shout 'FOUR KAY GRAPHX' from the rooftops.

 

[JTripper]

There's no way they're adding Origins. This is probably due to it looking like shit and they realized they need to clean it up.

It's so weird that a remaster is getting delayed. Looking like shit should have alerted them before they announced anything, so best scenario would be if they just decide to add Origins in some way to sell more copies but it's highly unlikely.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Batman: Return to the Drawing Board.

 

[Davide]

What's weirder than me than not including Origins, is if the rumoured GOTY Arkham Knight is coming separately.

 

[Emperor Bohe]

If they actually make the graphics better and add Origins, then I'm in

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

There is only one appropriate response to this.

"lol"

I'm under no illusion that this is what they're actually doing, lol

 

[GoldandBlue]

Didn't they put out that comparison video themselves? I don't know what they expected.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

PC release with updated assets would also be appreciated.

 

[chronic_archaic]

For the best honestly

 

[tokyocrusher]

WB should have gave the job to Bluepoint games to do the remaster

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Good. Hopefully they're taking the time to actually fix the game and turn it into a true remaster instead of a downgrade.

 

[HardRojo]

Completely necessary. Now go back to properly remastering it, adding Origins and no harm will have been done.

WB should have gave the job to Bluepoint games to do the remaster

But they are too busy working on Demon's Souls for PS4.

Spoiler

I wish

 

[JTripper]

WB should have gave the job to Bluepoint games to do the remaster

They should just continue whatever they're doing with this remaster and give Origins to Bluepoint since that's the only Batman game that truly deserves a remaster/rerelease.

What!? How the fuck does this current gen port look worse than 360? Much less PC! Inexcusable.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

They've ported the game from UE3 to UE4 and appear to have lost some things in translation. Unsure of the exact details.

Also missing volumetric lighting effects that the 360/PS3 also had.

 

[GringoSuave89]

Origins+fix the remasters and I will support this release.

Ditto, even if it's unlikely we'd get Origins.

 

[Einchy]

Also missing volumetric lighting effects that the 360/PS3 also had.

How the hell does something like this even happen?...

 

[ScientificPizza]

Good. The trailer for the remaster was horrendous. They need all the time they can get. I'm sure their hearts are in the right place.

 

[True Fire]

Arkham Remastered: Remastered?

It's for the best.

 

[Persona7]

They need to cancel it and start over. The stuff they released looked awful.

 

[ScientificPizza]

Arkham Remastered: Remastered?

It's for the best.

At this point Arkham Remastered: Unmastered would be preferable.

 

[Quadraphonic]

How the hell does something like this even happen?...

"Sure, we can get the game ported to the PS4 for this small budget."

 

[mreddie]

Also missing volumetric lighting effects that the 360/PS3 also had.

UNREAL 4 REMASTER AND IT LOOKS LIKE ASS. Knight was UE3 and looked way better. Good riddance.

 

[scitek]

How the hell does something like this even happen?...

Porting to UE4 on a rushed schedule, and/or hiring a cheap, inexperienced developer would be my guess.

 

[Bluth54]

How the hell does something like this even happen?...

Porting the game to a Unreal Engine 4 probably had a lot to do with it.
It probably would of been way easier to port the UE3 PC version with all settings maxed out to consoles.
