TechnoSyndrome posted:https://youtu.be/pEXmZUtzacU It's like they cranked the saturation into overdrive, and cut down on about half of the atmospheric design work. Peep the comparison shot of Clayface; the rays of light spilling out around him from the movie screen have been completely removed in the remaster.

That does sound interesting. Especially after the cheesy 'reward' in Arkham Origins. I just (barely) finished the Ranelagh Ferry trial. In a way, I'm kind of glad that my video card seems a bit under par, as the somewhat choppier gameplay gives my grandpa reflexes a bit more of a fighting chance

Arkham Origins has the worst 100% reward I have ever seen in a video game and that includes ones that just thank you in the credits or something.

Yeah. I mean, I get that Origins was a prequel game and so they wanted to set up the Riddler as a mysterious villain soon to terrorize Gotham, dun dun DUN!, but that's no way to reward all that effort. Maybe leave it for a side quest or something.

Sorry it's late and I think I named the wrong thing. Silent Hill's HD remakes had most of the source code tossed away in the garbage because Japan's weird like that so they had to recreate a lot of the lightining and stuff themselves

I'm just worried they'll somehow gently caress up old content. AK's destroyed my expectations for Rocksteady to not set even old and finish content on fire somehow.

Arkham Origins: Blackgate is not very good, and to make matters worse you can't 100% the game (achievement wise) unless you play through the whole thing at least 3 times.

That's actually really impressive, I didn't expect that to ever happen with a remaster. Even Naughty Dog's Uncharted and TLOU remasters didn't go that far despite going above and beyond in everything else, they just re-rendered them all. Even with some of the bad design choices the idea of playing the Arkham games without cutscenes full of artifacting sounds nice.

It's probably for the best to not buy a WB published PC port unless you know for sure it's a decent port from here on out. The outsourcing of the remasters kinda smacks of cost cutting to try and score some extra bucks out of fairly recent classics, a continuation of the same practices that made the AK port the disaster it was. I doubt there'll be much of anything added to the games to justify another purchase, at any rate.

Outside companies doing ports is not necessarily a bad thing. The Uncharted remastered collection is FANTASTIC, for instance. The lack of Origins blows chunks though. Without it, I have no interest. Origins is most desperately in need of a remastered version, both for huge glitches, slowdown, and hella terrible upgrade systems.

And then there's the pre-patch Zone of the Enders HD collection. There are other factors that determine how a remaster will work out. My concern over this release is more that I doubt WB cared who picked up the job so long as they said they could do it cheaply.

So for lot of the predator maps, the guards like to bunch up in groups of two. Are there any good strategies for breaking them up? Fear multi-takedowns are fun, but very noisy. Also, in the combat maps, I'm not sure how to handle the guys who are covered in electricity (not the guys with the rave party sticks). I know you can knock them down with the electrical charge, but do you have to wait until their lightning animation goes away before you can hit them? Also also, what's this I hear about a second ending?

This game is pretty fun although I'll admit I paid a whopping $17 for it, all the DLC included, so it's not like I got burned like so many folks did, but holy crap you guys weren't kidding about the Batmobile being lame. Also why the gently caress can I not (do I need a spoiler here? kinda story/character related) Not change Joker's outfit? It'd be perfect for him to be in his goofy rear end hawaiian shirt tourist outfit while hanging out in random places

I played Arkham alot for the combat challenge maps, because they were loving cool as gently caress. But I just can't do it on Arkham Knight because they added like twice as many buttons and added more bullshit enemies to compensate.\ How do you deal with Giant enemies with lightning wristblades again? You just save up your combo points to start a takedown and rid of them as quick as possible?

Just to clarify, I think the batclaw takedown is not the one where you pull them toward you and crowbar them - I think it's the one you use combo points for and knocks down the other guys in an AOE.

I vaguely recall them being part of some game of the year edition, but i could be mistaken. It's been a while since i played them, which reminds me, it's almost time for a replay of the whole series... they're just so good.
