Hands-On With Batman Arkham VR

As the game fades in from black, I find myself stood next to a locked piano, and I, as Bruce Wayne, am a little perplexed. Like a baby trying to figure out if a yellow block of wood is edible, I’m trying to reach out and lift the lid, a little confused as to why it’s not working. It turns out I need a key, which Alfred happily hands to me, after finding me to deliver some rather portentous news.It’s time to become Batman and solve a murder.

Key in hand, I unlock the lid, lift it up and tinkle the ivories with a very clumsy rendition of chopsticks. Who knew this was the secret code to trigger the lift down to the Batcave? Honestly, you’d expect Batman and his vast intellect to pick something a little more secure and obscure, like a particularly complex refrain from a Rachmaninov piano concerto. That might be a little tricky to pull off with two Move controllers in hand for PlayStation VR, though.

Why couldn't they also show what the guy was seeing?



What a useless video. Maybe 10 seconds of passive gameplay.

What a useless comment. Didn't contain the text I wanted to read, so it is obviously useless to everyone.



eh, the thread title doesn't really match the OP...

Anyone know how many missions they will have? I heard it's just an hour long experience.



Of all the VR experiences, this one seems the most questionable. If this was a standard game with a standard controller, just with first person view and using the headset as camera, I'd have much more faith. As it stands, this will be a decent way to replicate the 1989 Michael Keaton Batman who barely moves because the suit was so restrictive.



Batty man VR lol.

@ Gribble: I adjusted the OP to match with the new thread title. We had a SW Battlefront article rather than Batman

How do you embed a link in a word like that on this site?

Oh, I love it! Thanks. It was Insert/edit though. Unlock didn't seem to do anything.
