2 last gen, 1 this gen.

Arkham Origins isn't by them.

But Arkham VR was. Though that would make this Collection kind of weird of having 1 VR Only game and 3 that are not.

The first Arkham Asylum is great. The 2nd game, Arkham City was interesting, and then Arkham Knight was pretty good with the car tank to change things up. I just wish this series didn't leave Batman stuck to a city with only criminals, but had it set in a regular Gotham where pedestrians were everywhere. When it's just a locked down city, and it's constantly raining for the entire game in the night time only, it dampens the tone for me while playing. At least have dry weather if they're not going to change the time of day to dusk or dawn even.

The combat is good, and the controls are nice along with the gameplay, but the combat is really far fetched with Batman skipping within a second halfway across the room like he's superman. Too far fetched in that sense, but still fun as a beat 'em up game.

It could be seen as a bonus game for anyone with a PSVR.

But if you don’t, it’s wasteful unless the game gets a patch to play on a normal PS4 controller without VR.

Yep, that's the one I was referring to

Agreed, I wish they'd patch in normal controls.

[JEDGAR1000]

Several comments are claiming that Arkham Knight will be a download code, not a disc. Can't find anything official regarding that, but be wary close to release.

Arkham knight was horrible. The Batmobile was hard to control completely.

The first 2 were pretty epic though and it looks like Spiderman kind of copied that playstyle.

I found it easy. Needless to be in it as much but easy to control it.

Poor Origins keeps getting snubbed.

Not really snubbed when Rocksteady had nothing to do with it and this is a Collection of all the Rocksteady Arkham games minus the VR game.

And? It's still in the same continuity and deserves to be part of the collection. Its exclusion renders the 'Arkham Collection' incomplete.

[Star Lord]

Asylum> City> Knight for me. Yet to complete Origins some days lol.

[Zivouhr]

Yes, that's my order of the games too. Arkham Asylum has a lot of charm to it.
But yeah, this compilation Batman Arkham set for PS4 must have everything on the disc if it's a disc retail version. Otherwise...

In Arkham Knight, it's really cool you can wear the classic Adam West costume, or the 1989 Michael Keaton Batman costume, and even drive the classic Batmobiles. The controls aren't tough if you don't have the pedal to the metal all the time. Use the gas cautiously, and it's so much easier to control compared to if it's full throttle all the time. Then it's difficult.

Good point. A patch would be welcome. I want to play it in VR with a regular controller, but they force Move sticks.

Would have bought if it included a remastered Origins.

WB made that so it's not officially part of this.

[NARMAK]

A very solid series overall i think but isn't it cheaper to usually buy the solo games 5han this collection? Only extra is a skin which doesn't even look all that imo.
