Oh! Batman: Return to Arkham Is Out on PS4

No Joker

by Sammy Barker Thu 20th Oct 2016

Surprise: Batman: Return to Arkham is out now. Well, in some regions it is – those of you in the UK may have to wait until tomorrow. The point, though, is that this game seems to have snuck up on us like a laughing gas bomb. We distinctly remember it being delayed a little earlier in the year… And now, it's out! Here's the launch trailer to prove it.

But have they fixed the port or are the graphics still brighter colours and less gritty?

When compared against last gen, some of the characters look worse and some things don't seem 'connected' to the world. It seems as though most time was spent on the environment (although not much time) and then couldn't be ****ed to bother too much with the characters.

For all the criticism CoD and Activision get, at least they know how to do a proper 'remaster' - look at CoD4! Bethesda look like they may do a similar job with Skyrim too!

This pack looks like its a quick cash-grab rather than a proper remaster for the benefit of the fans and to take advantage of the upgraded hardware!

There are minor issues with some of the brighter lighting and colors, but it looks great overall. The improved textures, higher resolution, and farther draw distance really add a lot to the world. Playing Arkham VR had me itching to revisit these games and I'm happy to have them on a current gen console.
