Playing Arkham Origins on my Wii U.

Seems like a pretty solid game so far. My gripes are that the game seems to be at a lower resolution than Arkham City. Arkham City on Wii U looked noticeably better than the 360 version though it stuttered occasionally when entering a new area (due to loading). I can see jaggies. Also, the main reason I got this version was for the amazing Wii U controls that Arkham City had. So far, I haven't seen the Wii U controller utilized for anything except off screen mode and as a map.

Not pleased. The game itself seems great but the Wii U features haven't been utilized.....yet. On a positive note, it DOES have Achievements!


i honestly wasnt expecting much from gamepad but at least you saved 10 bucks

But that's the thing.  In Arkham City for Wii U, the Gamepad had a ton of uses.  Unless they unlock some features later, there's absolutely no advantage to the Wii U controller.  I saved $10 but at the loss of the (reportedly shitty) online mode.  No biggie, though.  Probably never would have played it.

I just tossed in the Wii U version of Arkham City to compare and the graphics have indeed taken a hit.  Origins doesn't look as good as City but should hopefully be on par with the 360 and PS3 versions.  I fear Wii U owners are  victims of a really quick port instead of recieving the definitive version, this time.

with a missing online mode it was never gonna be a "definitive" version anyway. IMHO and i know Wii U fans are gonna hate to hear this. I think most of these companies even Ninty to a certain extent is shying away from gamepad heavy uses. The fact that this new Batman game doesnt use the gamepad in any meaningful way doesnt surprise me. Why would the company spend EXTRA time on a version of the game that isnt going to sell anywhere near as well as the PS360 or probably even PC version. They wouldnt it would make no sense. As for graphics from what i heard AC had framerate problems along with better graphics, so i guess its a pick your poison scenerio
