Retro_Link Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate Coming to PS3, Xbox 360, PC and Wii U With revamped features and HD graphics. Warner Bros. has announced Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate- Deluxe Edition will be available on PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U and PC from April 1 in North America and April 2 in Europe. The game was originally released on 3DS and Vita, though developer Armature Studio is working to bring a HD version of the 2.5D action title to consoles and PC. The new version will be available via PSN, Xbox Live Marketplace, Nintendo eShop and Steam, and comes with a new map and hint systems, along with objective tracking, 5.1 surround sound and a fully voiced narrative. Rumours started flying a couple of weeks ago that a revamped version of the game was on the way after a leaked XBLA marketplace listing suggested it was in the works. Blackgate was originally released on PS Vita and the 3DS; in our review, we thought that it was a fairly decent extension of the Batman series for mobile devices. Well I guess more people might be willing to give this a look now, especially as it falls in April which currently only has two eShop games being released in it at the end of the month.

Hero-of-Time Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I played it on the Vita and it's not a bad game. If you like the 2D Metroid games I recommend you give it a look as it plays very much like those. The only faults are that the combat is very basic and easy and the map could be a little clearer at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Not surprised to see it come to consoles (as if a western developer/publisher would ever make a true handheld game truly exclusive...) but I am surprised to see it come to Wii U! Nice to see that WBros haven't completely abandoned the console Too bad that the game isn't really that good though... Especially disappointing when you consider that the game was directed by several Metroid Prime leads... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ike Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Was waiting on a good deal for the 3DS version but this will do nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wii Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Looks interesting. I'll wait for the reviews and I'd prefer if it was €15/<. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welsh_gamer Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Got this on 3DS from ShopTo when it was £10. I really enjoyed it, and thought the developers did a good job of conveying the gameplay from the console Arkham games on handheld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
