Batman: Arkham Origins on WII U

Batman: Arkham Origins on WII U, has the same exact impact like the other consoles. It presents the exact sharp and magnificent graphics displayed on XBOX 360 and PS3 in terms of console. With its unique game pad, players take on the character of Batman on the scene. They display his vigor, agility and techniques he uses against his enemies on the streets. Gotham City's thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds are to be defeated using this unique game pad to deploy an arsenal of hi-tech virtual gadgets. You will be Batman fighting against the most colourful villains of Gotham City in a new environment, a new plot and added to that, you will be facing new enemies.

A brief review of WII U game pad. First of all, WII U, lines up to the speed of XBOX and PS3. It incorporates both a touchscreen and a traditional input methods such as buttons and dual analog sticks. Besides a second controller called the WII U Pro Controller can be used especially for fighting games as it features a more traditional design. Batman: Arkham Origins core mechanics are those used in the previous games Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, therefore the use of the Pro Controller is a good fit for the player ( Batman) to daze enemies, and allows him to "launch into sustain beat down using the attack button."

"The key to success in the combat is to get into a rhythm where Batman flows between his enemies without being hit. Each successful attack adds to the in-fight multiplayer and allows the player to deploy limb and weapon breaking moves. They can also use gadgets, such as the Batarangs and the bat claw." Nick Cowen: The Guardian newspaper




Players of WII U will also avail of the same opportunity as Xbox and PS3 players. The combat is the same and the challenges awaiting them are tough as well. Players have to get ready as they will step out of their "comfort zone" to face villains and rogues on the street of Gotham City, a place where evil is rampant. The combat is tough and new enemies await in the dark. They will attack without pity. The game pad is the tool to use effectively. It can be reinforced by using the WII U Pro controller which came out in 2012.

Batman: Arkham Origins on PC


Will "Batman: Arkham Origins" produce the same enthusiasm being played on PC? Apparently, PC version inherited the same fluent and magnificent combat system of the consoles and set in the same graphic tone. It can be perfectly played with just the mouse and keyboard but there are some more complex actions which need the support of a joystick unless you are a real pro with "skilled fingers" which can move swiftly on the keyboard. The PC's default system is somehow slightly limited; but this insignificant flaw can be resolved when an Xbox controller is plugged in. 
The game has been crafted with perfection. The events take place in a critical time of winter during Christmas. It sets up the stage for young Bruce Wayne to start his career. This was not at all a bad idea as it forms part of the challenges already awaiting Batman. He does not start his training on bed of roses but during hard time and against tough villains. That's why attention to graphic details was important to spice it up. The weather condition and snow dust-like effect and movement while fighting are key factors giving this game a sense of reality. Tessellation is used extensively to give precision to movement and effect. Players have a sense of seeing live characters in a real world where real battles take place. Gotham City Police Department is not acquainted to Batman yet and it is his responsibility to demonstrate detective skills. Therefore players it is in your hands to make Batman a pro.

Watch a Video trailer.



GET BATMAN: ARKHAM ORIGINS ON PC


The short trailer above gives an overview of the quality of graphic expected on PC.
Here is a short review of Tom Senior of the PC version: "Like previous Arkham games, Batman: Arkham Origins will get some fancy PhysX effects courtesy of Nvidia's saucy particle tech, because why have a cape at all if you swish it luxuriously through some heavy mist? Why litter your alleyways with newspaper scraps if they can't twitch and deform in the breeze? What's the point of pounding crims in snowy streets without slightly deformable snow to preserve teh motion of your spinning face-kicks?" And, he says: "To be honest, i'd give all that up to maintain a stable framerate, but it's always nice to see PC ports getting a bit of extra love."

The game is due to be released in ten days from now-meaning on the 25th of October on PS3, XBOX 360, PC and WII U.

The game's main story line is a prelude to the two Batman Arkham City and Arkham Asylum which is set five years earlier. In this episode, Batman is presented as a young and unrefined character. He has a bounty placed on his head by the villain lord Black Mask, which draws the eight of the world's notorious assassins to Gotham City on Christmas Eve. The bounty reward is an irony showing the power and the victory of Batman's enemies over him.

The Remote Claws, The Shock Gloves and The Concussion Detonator allow Batman to deploy technical strategies to knock the enemy while all the more protecting himself even when he is hit. Players for their part can traverse enemy-controlled areas using stealth or direct combat. A warning icon indicates enemy attacks guiding the player to counter attack. To assess players's efficiency, the combat introduces a tracking device highlighting various achievements in battle such as avoiding damage and using gadgets. The performance of players is rewarding with experience points through combined chain attacks.

Arkham Origins is multiplayer compatible. "Invisible Predator Online" revolves around a gang war in Blackgate Prison between the supervillains Joker and Bane.
