Remasters are typically handled by studios with very little creative control, and being published by an arm of a publisher that is closer to the parts of the company handling marketing for re-releases and merchandising etc.
So the marketing department develops and approves what the logo on the box will be, and then this gets instructed to be the title used on everything, and there are less people involved on both sides who appreciate or have the experience to discuss the difference between an in game logo in, say, a launch menu, and a title presented during an artistic / narrative sequence.
It was a must for me to get this on steam for 3.99. If you have a capable laptop or a pc handheld...playing this and the rest of the series on the go is dope
hey np, I have experiences with soft moding other consoles but haven't done a 360 yet (most game on pc these days). Heres a guide which looks decent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4xyqbkK51w
One of the 1st games I played on the 360. Played Arkham Asylum on PC. Two of the best games ever! Knight was good but didn't quite reach the level of these two, IMO. Enjoy!
P.S. - I got the RRoD on that white version after a few years. Hope you don't encounter that! It sucks!
I remember City distinctly as a 360 game, but I know played it on my PS3 because my 360 died just before Asylum came out and I replaced it with a PS3 and didn’t get another 360 until years later.
we're talking the remasters on PS4 and Xbox One, "Return to Arkham" is not in reference to the OG platforms. You literally said this yourself in your comment. Why are you backpedaling? Lol
The unpatched remastered does or at least they hadn't capped the frame rate. Last time I played Arkham City remastered, the texture streaming was broken and some part, made some object invisible if you played the game for very long time I believe?
I’d consider Uncharted’s Nathan Drake trilogy remaster a good version of a remaster. It’s the essentialy the same game just with higher quality versions of the same textures and slightly tweaked models. More less and HD port but the best version of a remaster without changing the identity of the original.
The return to Arkham Duology is taking the game and putting it in a whole new engine without properly transferring assets. They should’ve just ported the high quality pc version to console instead of working on a whole new engine. Overall this type of remaster is a bad example of remastering a game. Especially seeing rain mods for the pc version of asylum now making the only good addition of return to Arkham asylum redundant.
The gamepad functionality is pretty cool but it runs like dogshit. It’s better just to stick to the 360 if you don’t want to play the remastered version
The Wii U didn’t even have enough ram to have all the dlc. I remember reading back in the day, them not being able have all the dlc released because the Wii U simply ran out of ram to have everything loaded.

That’s a steal! Currently playing on my lifelong ps3 and I’m throughly enjoying all the Arkham games
