Given that the game is a year old already, I should certainly hope so.


Don't h8. Sony fans have taught me that the only way to judge a console is by aligning launches so if you look at the release date, Batman AC actually came out earlier in its life cycle than the hd twins. It's all a matter of perspective my friend.


Oh my god, I love what you just did. I've never twisted it that way before.

Come and get 'em, fresh and tasty microwaved leftovers!

Kidding aside, I would consider buying this if there was some real additional content here gameplay wise. A map on the screen and some other touchscreen usage doesn't justify the $50-$60 though. Especially when you can find the game on PS3/360 for $20-$30.

Hell, I can find the game for 360 with all of the DLC in my gaming room right now, for free.  I'm still buying it.  I'm crazy like that.  I even bought Arkham Asylum for the PS3, then bought it for 360 right before the game released, and finally got another free copy of the GOTY version just for buying Arkham City from Wal Mart.  I'm the reason Bruce Wayne is so rich.

Them improved over all other version graphics!*drools*. And to thing that this was just in alpha.

Anyone who hasn't gotten this game should get this version. It will be the best available

PC? I doubt it. Wii U specs aren't up to 2011 PC gaming rig specs, and no one's going to get optimal use out of the Wii U HW on day one, not even Nintendo.

LOL. THat logic never gets old <_<. So I guess Bit Trip Runner has better graphics than Uncharted since its a more recent PC game...

PC games only allow you to apply filtering, increase frame rate and up the dispaly resolution on the game. Arkham City Armored edtion actually has things added to the game that exist in no other version. More detailed textures, more objects, more geometry.

Unless this is patched into the PC version then the Wii U version will, indeed, be the best graphically.

Is Bit Trip Runner the PC version of Uncharted?

It doesn't matter. Its a PC game so that's supposed to make it infitely better than anything on the console for now and all time according to that guys opinoin of console vs. PC.

You know how I know I'm a biased gamer? I owned an Xbox 360 and I bought some games like Bioshock before they went to the PS3. When the PS3 version came out, I said "Meh. That extra content is no big deal. That game is already old."

Now, with the Wii U getting late ports of certain games with some additional content (like this game and Ninja Gaiden--a series I play but don't even really enjoy that much), the differences are making these games "must play".

You're such a fan boi!!



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Canada? Why cheap multiplats are always made there?


mostly because of taxes and stuff


Nah. Used to be you could buy one and a half Canadian dollars for one USD, but now the canuck buck is at parity, even a little higher these days. You might get some tax credits, but I don't think they amount to too much.

Studios open up in cities like Vancouver and Montreal because they've now established large developer communities, and because the cosmopolitan culture of those cities tends to attract the kind of young, educated creatives that game development requires.
