Hooo boy if this is true, I wonder if this is gonna be open world, effectively turning it into Meta's/Camouflaj's Arkham City.

I've an odd suspicion this game will feature The Joker. Call it an experienced guess.

Meta has some nice VR exclusives. I don't care for VR, but I would love to play this game.

VR for more than a few minutes literally makes me puke. Make sure you aren't motion sensitive before investing.

Once you have that first wave of nausea you will never want to play in VR again. What surprised me was how long it lasted afterwards. It doesn't just go immediately away. It stays.

I was super enthusiastic from the start, even though there were games that made me feel really dizzy, especially when turning the camera. But I loved the experience so much that I forced myself to get used to it, and now it doesn't make me feel dizzy at all, no matter what's happening on the screen. It's not for everyone, and it's something you have to like and be drawn to right away though.

My wife has the same thing, and it's honestly a bummer. She can't do roller coasters or anything of that sort either, and it makes me feel like theme parks are just me and my daughter running around having a blast while she's miserable, fuckin lame.

Can you do rides and what not or does it extend to that stuff too?

This happened to me back in the early 2000's while playing Half Life 2, and that wasn't even VR! 15 minutes in and I was laying prone in bed feeling like shit for hours. It made me hate the entire Half-Life franchise for years until I played Alyx.

Ironically the VR game didn't give me motion sickness and I even went back to play HL2 with the VR mod and loved it this time around.

That's a really strong rumor. Seems almost concrete at that point.

First game was my favorite Arkham game and I'm an old-school fan of the originals.

Man flying around those Gothic settings was pure darkness in my veins. Great story and superb gameplay.

And the game looked stunning with optimizer. I ran it 130% resolution. Looked super crisp.

Please be true (though really skeptical that the Quest 3 can handle open world as detailed as what Arkham has). Arkham Shadow is hands down VR's current killer app.

I'm good with semi-open or even linear if it has that same level of quality. God, please don't touch the mechanics.

 

[Fake]

The word 'shadow' is the only word in the modern devs vocabulary. Overly used word.

 

[Stratostar]

 

[64gigabyteram]

Haven't played it yet, but good on the devs that Shadow was successful enough for a sequel to be in the works.

I just wish we got more titles that aren't just capeshit. Superheroes are all good and such yea but we need more Blade and Socery's and Asgard's Wrath's- original IP and such

 

[Stratostar]

GOAT VR game. Masterpiece. Could sing its praises all day. Bought a Quest 3 just to play it. 100% worth.
If we're blessed with a sequel I'm taking a week off of work, a 100mg edible and I will become the mf BATMAN. Again.
Get yer ass in here FoxMcChief , tell em what's up

THE GREATEST VIDEOGAME FRANCHISE OF ALL TIME

Hahaha.

Batman on the Quest 3 was absolutely incredible. Only problem I had is that it ended!

 

[Lokaum D+]

I dont trust rocksteady/WB with another Batman game, If true It ll smell woke shit.

 

[Romulus]

Crazy about 95% of this forum won't even click on this thread(even batman fans) and have no idea what they're missing because "VR bad" supposedly.

What does that have to do with this thread for a VR game made by Meta/Camouflaj?

Dude, do you really think WB wont have a saying on this ?

WB own the damn franchise, what does this change ? Maybe everything, maybe nothing, lets see

 

[Romulus]

Doesn't matter, they already proved greatness with the first VR game that released last year, same team will be handling it not the woke BS over at WB. That's why no one is worried about that.

>About to enter development

LOL see ya in 10 years.

Nah, they already have the mechanics down and gameplay loop. The first game took 4 years building everything from scratch and building a team. They have all that now.

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

please be true, such a great game experience, I want more at any price tag

I wonder how much $$$ it actually could have made Meta only on Q3's install base though... for a long time I feared we wouldn't see another. Fantastic if it happens.

EDIT: it's absolutely insane by the way that Sony has the PS5 power + PSVR2 and hasn't bothered to make a true Spider-Man VR entry. Borderline criminal. Batman already showed how to make it work, a perfect transition from flat to VR. Spider-Man always copies Arkham anyway, go ahead and do it again.

 

[Stratostar]

Hahaha.

Hell yeah brother, cheers from Iraq.
Your glowing impressions around launch last year struck a chord with me and I share every bit of your enthusiasm after playing it.

Crazy about 95% of this forum won't even click on this thread(even batman fans) and have no idea what they're missing because "VR bad" supposedly.

Indeed. I'd wager only a very tiny percentage even on GAF have played it which is a shame. It got snubbed from the '24 GOTY discussion big-time. Although I feel for those who want to play but get motion sickness and aren't ever able to find their "VR legs" so to speak. I think the game does an admirable job at mitigating the issue though, with the click turn option and various clever visual settings.

Conversation around the game has died down. But I'll gladly inform folks reading this thread that Arkham Shadow is the real deal. It's not some shitty Batman: Arkham VR-style spinoff like I stupidly initially thought it was for some reason when it was first announced, in spite of the Arkham namesake.
It's essentially Arkham Asylum in VR, arguably better.
A near flawless execution at translating the classic Arkham gameplay into VR. You really have to play it to believe it.

Arkham Shadow's story is awesome and less predictable than the other entries. The voice acting is superb; the venerable Martin Jarvis' Alfred returns and is as charming and witty as ever, and Roger Craig Smith's Batman performance is passionate and filled with rage. Conroy would be proud. (RIP, legend)
The Arkhamverse is ripe with potential for many more stories and games featuring this younger, pre-Asylum Batman that we were first introduced to in Origins.

Wish I could personally thank the team at Camouflaj, for knocking it out of the park and proving there's still plenty of life in the series, even after Rocksteady's fall from grace.
Shadow is truly a game made by Arkham fans, for the fans. An absolute must-play.

 

[Trab-Pu-Kcip]

I'm still hoping for a psvr2 port for the first game

 

[mindfreak191]

Game straight up felt like Escape from Butcher Bay, which one of the developers on the game confirmed to me that it was taken as an inspiration while creating the game lol Great Vr game!

 

[Beretta]

The first game was awesome, just too short for me. People who don't like VR don't know how to live.

Actually I think that 95% are going to click into this thread thinking this is Rocksteady's next big AAA game, and post about that or something related to culture wars.

It will be a fun test to see how many people read the article or even the OP.

 

[Gonzito]

Meh. I can't stand VR games anymore. They make sick and the graphics are just not goo enough for my standards
