Forums - Gaming - Which version of Batman: Arkham Asylum should I buy?

Zenfoldor, I never thought of the PS3 as Batman before anyways. That's not the point. The feel of the PS3 just fits the atmosphere of Batman better.

Even though I plan on getting this game for PS3, that looks pretty boring.

The graphical differences probably aren't even noticeable. Sites just mention which one has better graphics to appeal to fanboys (who are a big part of their readership). Let's face it. If you're in the middle of fighting 10 different thugs, or taking down The Joker (or whatever), you're not going to be caring about minor graphical differences. I never did.

Controller, well, I think it's great on both platforms. It's up to you. The exclusive content with The Joker is appealing, but weighed against the reasons you listed for the 360, it might not be.

However, I'm getting it for the PS3. Wanna know why?

This game is just made for the PS3. Everything about it. The Dark Knight, Batman, in this dark atmosphere. Blackness all around him. It just suits the PS3. Plus, in my opinion, the PS3 boxart for the game looks way better. And I like trophies more than achievements now (yeah, hate me for it, they're just better).

So minor graphical differences aren't a legit reason to determine what version to buy, but the boxart and the color of your console are? Gotcha.

Agree with montana totally. and dude as posted by another member here. Check out the video head to head:

Again it doesn't matter, minute difference in graphics does not matter and for the most part isn't even discernible.

But if u talk about this particular game then the PS3 is better graphics-wise

minutely

.....hmmm.

Alright, yeah, you're right.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

I really hope sony keeps doing this. Microsoft has been paying for DLC for a long time (proven in the bonus round by GT, the developer leaked that MS had paid for it.) He spoke about this generation being the generation of no more 3rd party exclusives and how hardware owners need to focus on DLC as a way to promote their product. I really hope Sony gets back on the ball for more competition. MS has been schooling them this gen and PlayStation is better than this.

If I owned a 360 I would still get the PS3 version, visual differences you will not notice, controls are fine on both consoles.


Joker DLC is a larger difference than the above two combined.


Do you really imagine selling your consoles?

Not really, it's more of an 'all things being equal' type of thing.

But like I said, I do think I'll go with the PS3 version.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Remember though guys, recommending this games best consoles based upon exclusive content is also giving the edge to the 360 in some other major titles released this year, like MW2.

I couldnt reccomend the XBOX version to any multi owner unless the NEED the XBOX controller and/or Achievements.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Don't get either. Rent whichever version they have at the video store.

Game gets reprtitive quick...and is loooong. 2 hours of mashing the X button and pushing rb to climb the leadge and hide whenver people start firing guns unlocked 8% of the game according to my game stats. At this rate, I ain't doing this for more than 30%...unless the game changes gameplay significantly its going back Rogers video.
