Batman & Robin Full Game | Longplay Ps1

[@nobodyinterestingyou]

Creating a 3d open world on Psx hardware before gta 3, was really ambitious. This and Driver was mind blowing to see, back In the day. It's flawed and really janky, but It's still one heck a technical feat.

[@esalackstrom9232]

I remember playing this when it came out, never got far since it was really janky and hard to know what to do. Didn't know much english back then, but it was interesting and impressive. The city felt massive.

And yet, this got a really low score from critics, go figure..... It's like game critics don't know how to recognize a game achievement, unless is a game the person playing actually likes

[@guitargod259]

Yeah it's amazing what game developers had to do to make games work on the hardware. A lot of them had to "hack" the hardware to make the games run on them.

Im 26 and had no clue this existed. It looks janky even for that era but the fact they manage to create a 3D openworld sandbox Batman Game with 3 characters and a playable Batmobile on PS1 in freaking 1998, 3 years before GTA3, 13 years before Arkham City, and 17 years before Arkham Knight is very impressive. If this game had more development time, it could have been another Goldeneye. Im not even sure if PS1 was designed for 3D Open World games but Props to Probe for this technical feat.

As @nobody mentioned, batman and Robin 1998 video game , is one of those ingenious titles that greatly influenced the whole video games industry. An open-world game didn't really exist at that time. And it's not just the open-world, the walkthrough of the game is also wonderful. The evidence that Batman finds in this game and finds the next steps by examining or putting them together, is also used later in many games. Apart from all this, the gothic and dark atmosphere of the game is very pleasant and lovely. This game is always associated with pleasant wanderings at night and a glorious sense of loneliness in my mind. I have nothing to do with the rest of the video games that have been made under the title of Batman, but Batman and Robin 1998 on PS1 was a masterpiece that influenced many games that followed it, and many of today's titles owe their genius to games like Batman and Robin on ps1.

*Man... When you talk about "open world" in games, people already think of GTA. But very few know about this open-world BATMAN game. Even though it is based on a crude movie, the game is still very good. I had the pleasure of playing as a kid, I enjoyed playing with Batgirl (In this game, you can play with the three protagonists of the film: Batman, Robin and Batgirl). Good times.*

Yea I'm 26 and just found out about this game on Wiki. It's very impressive even with all its setbacks. I don't even think PS1 was designed for this type of processing. I'm hoping when GTA6 drops in 2025, it will match this type of impressive technical measurement on limited hardware. Imagine how giant that world is gonna be.

This game made me a huge fan of Frosty, who was Mr. Freeze's sidekick in this game. You can see him at the 32:53 mark. Sure, he might have been a Captain Cold rip-off, but it was such an intriguing character. I used to have his action figure (somehow I lost it in a move) and he was called "Frostbite". For Halloween 1998 my Mom made a homemade costume for him. In the movie, he was the guy always saying "Uh, yeah boss..." but in the game, they made Frosty more important than Mr. Freeze because of how many times you fought Frosty. His backstory was interesting too. He was a professional hockey player that had a failed career by the time he reached the big leagues, not scoring goals much and getting too many times into the penalty box. Before his hockey days, he was known for committing petty theft crimes. After failing his professional career being a laughing stock, he became a "murderer in cold blood" with a "bad mask", as his wanted poster clue in the game said & other clue descriptions of them. Loved to kill people to rob them, and pull off big heists. Besides his wanted poster, there's one series of clues where you put together pieces of surveillance camera reveals a photo of him standing at Snowy Cones, a picture of him and Freeze together, as well pieces to modem where Frosty tried to research a computer store's opening hours. The modem still had in its cache an audio recording of the "Ram World" computer store of its opening hours. Some of the clues are also hand-written messages to Freeze written very neatly in blue ink (showing his orderliness), while Freeze's messages to Frosty are written in sloppy black ink. So in a sense, Frosty was a money-driven killer with a hockey gimmick, trying to restore his public "fame" but in a bad way. So with that, it was only natural for Mr. Freeze to hire him as his sidekick, which Frosty sought fame, power, and cash. In the movie Frosty's actor was Joe Sabatino, and because Frosty isn't given a real name in any of the clues (at least in my multiple playthroughs), I consider Joe Sabatino to be Frosty's name, hehe.

I imagine what it was like when this game was released, how to find out the right paths or what to do in the game, because there were no tips on what to do

[@albalog2449]

I was one of them, it was in August 1998. I bought the strategy guide on the same day because that was literally the *_only_* way to know what to do, what clues to find, what walls to break, how to easily kill bosses, etc. GameFAQs or Acclaim's site didn't have much either. To this day, it's almost like the game being this confusing was a sales gimmick to make money selling guides. My Uncle felt the same way about the Zelda NES games. As for the bosses being easy to kill, the strategy guide recommended you to stock up on aerial/vine/polar missiles, shoot them at the boss, and then keep kicking them when they are down. Tear gas bombs work well too and the brass knuckles can (oddly) do more kick damage. So throughout the whole game, I made sure I had 10 tear gas bombs, 10 aerial attack missles, 10 vine slicing missiles, 10 polar assault missles, and 10 bat tazers. That's 50 of each and it became *_extremely_* useful for me by "Day 3", especially with all of the annoying hockeymen. You could easily get missles in the Westside Station (aerial), Axis Chemicals (vine), Ice Rink (polar), and the computer store (tasers). Without those, there would have been absolutely no way for me to kill all of the bosses and the hockeymen, because the fighting combos for me barely work & the bosses block me a lot.
