Batman: Arkham Shadow Is The Biggest Quest 3 Exclusive Yet

Developed by Meta-owned Camouflaj (Iron Man VR) and published by its Oculus Studios, Batman: Arkham Shadow marks the second VR entry in the Arkham series, following 2016’s Arkham VR from Rocksteady Studios. “Evil stalks the streets. Gotham City is in danger. And you’re the only one who can save it,” states Meta. The teaser trailer doesn’t reveal any gameplay footage but more details will be announced at Summer Game Fest on June 7 at 2pm PT.

themeatbridge,

I almost bought the first Batman VR game, but the reviews said it was a really cool simulation of dressing up like Batman and watching a Batman movie in first person. How can you fight in VR? Or climb into the rafters and stalk a mook? Can you drive the batmobile? Punch the Joker? Throw a batarang? Swing from the rooftops? If you can’t do those things, what’s the point of a Batman VR game?

I didn’t see that it would be a quest 3 exclusive… not interested.

ryry1985,

I hate how Meta has basically bought up all of these VR game developers…

MrFappy,

It’s because they thought that this would make them the ideal choice for VR gaming, but they failed to realize that what they’re actually doing is killing VR , because too many gamers want nothing to do with Facebook.

paraphrand,

I dunno man. The Quest is the most active and popular platform for VR right now.

And I don’t think it’s fair to assume all these studios they bought would still be publishing big polished games for every platform in 2024.

I think half of them would have given up on VR already. It’s a tough place to be profitable. And again, I don’t think these studios would have turned PCVR into something as big as Meta Horizon VR just on their quality and merit.

I hate the quality delta between mobile VR and PCVR as much as the next guy. But I really don’t think exclusivity is killing VR.

I wouldn’t say killing VR but it does suck that the biggest VR enthusiasts that baught big machines to run all the next gen VR games have no next gen games to play and every big games are mobile games and all exclusives. I would love to play the PSVR2 exclusives as well btw not just the meta exclusives.

paraphrand,

I totally agree. Meta should be doing what Sony is doing with PC games, at least.

And I hope the rumors of Sony jumping on PCVR come true.
