🦇 I Played Batman Arkham Shadow in VR...

Yup, that's right, last week at Gamescom I got to play the upcoming Batman Arkham Shadow in VR on the Meta Quest 3. This video includes brand new unreleased gameplay, as well as my overall first impressions of the game.

Ask me anything and let me know your thoughts on Batman Arkham Shadow! 👇🏻

[@SithWarrior-kh3qg]

Did you played it on the Gamescom?

[@user-fy8yw3ob4h]

Is it for money or no

[@duoduos9221]

@@user-fy8yw3ob4h obviously yes

[@jeancarlostaveras5726]

This game looks great, bought my quest 3 this week…getting my “vr legs” ready for this game !! 😁

[@VRManCave]

Awesome timing! And yeah definitely get ready for it. It does have some comfort options but playing it with everything off will be the best experience if you can handle it :))

[@DeeSaxVR]

SO jealous! Great to meet you briefly mate!

[@VRManCave]

Haha you too man!

[@louismje1967]

This looks great, can't wait to play it on the Quest 3.

[@VRManCave]

It doooees, and me too, can't wait to jump into more of it. I was afraid it might be overhyped but it really impressed me.

[@Healthy_Toki]

cant wait to play it on OLED screens whenever meta gets around to that.

[@derp0112]

This is so cool!!!!! Can't wait to play on my ps3

[@VRManCave]

I hear the PS2 version will be even better.

[@edturner9670]

Just wait until the PSP version arrives. The studio has already confirmed this and are quoted as saying: "We really want to cater to salty folks who don't own a Quest 3 and give them the next best thing and a more raw experience. By duct taping the PSP unit to a player's head, you really will feel just like a bargain basement Batman while keeping your hands on the thumbsticks. Sure, you'll be headbutting a lot of household furniture and falling flat on your face but we feel this will add to the realism and immersion as Batman also takes a beating now and again."

[@Healthy_Toki]

This is looking pretty cool actually

[@VRManCave]

Yeah it is ❤️

[@ÇristinaJordan-q7q]

Oh wow this game looks so good, can't wait to play the latest Arkham game on my Ps5😃

[@VRManCave]

It’s exclusive to Meta Quest 3 though… 😅

[@Argeleth-]

do you know how big the file size will be?

[@VRManCave]

I don't have the exact size but I would assume roughly 20-30gb.

[@themask8221]

Yeah, I have terrible motion sickness. Heck, even just watching some of the footage you used in this video made me pretty sick. So I’m one of those people who cannot play this, even if I badly want to. 😢

[@VRManCave]

The footage is with all the comfort options off, so you do have some things to help in the game's settings. And anyway you can try it, and if it makes you sick, just ask for a refund. You can do that within 14 days of purchase as long as you haven't played for more than 2 hours.

[@PankoCat]

How's the sound design/spatial audio?

[@VRManCave]

It sounded great to me, lots of detail and atmosphere, but as mentioned in the video, I was in a pretty noisy environment at Gamescom and was just using the integrated audio on the Quest 3, so that's why I didn't want to go too deep on it in the video, since it wasn't an ideal way of testing this.

[@PankoCat]

@VRManCave Ah, silly me. Glad to hear you got to enjoy the bits that came through! I'm beyond hyped to play this and glad that the BoboVR S3 has the fan, I think I'll need it after the exercise of beating up the Rat Pack 🐀

[@frankamatuccio4364]

How much is the meta quest, and do I need a certain one to play Arkham Shadow when it drops?

[@VRManCave]

It’s a Quest 3 exclusive, so you need that one to play this, which is $599. I’d suggest you wait another couple of weeks though because Meta is supposedly launching the Quest 3S, which will be cheaper and hopefully will also be able to run this game.

[@frankamatuccio4364]

@@VRManCave Thank you a lot, Arkham titles are great, hopefully this one I think the same when I play it.

[@duoduos9221]

@@frankamatuccio4364 The Quest 3 is actually $499. I guess VRManCave made a little typo :p. Anyways its very likely that a new headset called the Quest 3S will be released around the time that Batman is released and will probably be bundled with it for free. It will have Quest 2 lenses but the Quest 3 chip meaning it will be able to play Quest 3 exclusives like Batman Arkham Shadow. It will likely be around $250-300

[@Aaron-uz3ig]

Will they let other users play the same demo for the meta store or discord sign up?

[@VRManCave]

I doubt it, it was a demo that the developers prepared exclusively for a select group of creators and held behind closed doors.

[@marialuoana]

Awesooooome

[@VRManCave]

It really is, I absolutely loved it!!

[@HairySeagull]

How is performance? Is it stable and without interpolation of frames?

[@VRManCave]

Performance was great during my demo. I talked about this in the video, but it didn't feel like it was using any reprojection.

[@HairySeagull]

Kool thanks👌

[@HairySeagull]

Sry i am scared of spoilers haha. I am very sensitive to it. Thanks for responding.

[@VRManCave]

@@HairySeagull Haha no worries, I made sure the video does not contain any spoilers at all!

[@ROBBINTHEROBBR127]

Im not sure if this is a stupid question or not, but is it open world?

[@VRManCave]

It's not fully open world, no, but you do get a sense of freedom throughout the levels if that makes sense.

[@duoduos9221]

arkham asylum type openess

[@Lonelyweirdo96]

Really hope they give us the ability to turn off those annoying numbers that pop up during combat

[@VRManCave]

I do too. And I’ve seen recordings that don’t have them, so it’s absolutely possible, but just hoping it’s not strictly a developers option.

[@tomaspalomo3495]

Wait, no meta 2 compatibility? Damn.

[@VRManCave]

Nope, it's a Quest 3 exclusive. With the way it looks it would be impossible to run on Quest 2. But who knows, maybe it'll also work on Quest 3S, that would make a lot of sense with the timing of the release.

[@tomaspalomo3495]

@@VRManCave I get that the game couldn't run on the hardware of the quest 2, but i bought it because i could connect my new gpu to it and run good graphics in it using my pc. It seems that developers are going to dump it anyways in favor of new hardware. What a pity.

[@Healthy_Toki]

@@tomaspalomo3495 I mean we'd all like it to be playable on PCVR with better graphics but Meta's paying for it's development to sell quests. It'll get ported, or emulated, or upgraded on newer hardware, or remastered eventually and we can play it then. Until then it's not like I dont have thousands of games on my backlog.

[@ren8848]

only on quest 3? no pcvr?

[@VRManCave]

Yup it’s a Quest 3 exclusive, no PCVR or other platforms. I’m hoping it will eventually make it’s way over to other platforms but no confirmation of that yet.

[@bassettgames8076]

I only have a quest 2 guess i cant play it

[@VRManCave]

Yeah it's a Quest 3 exclusive, it looks way too good to even be able to run on a Quest 2.

[@Vøørhees-Èditź]

@@VRManCaveWell that’s weird cause in my Quest 2 store it was there but said “still in development”

[@smittyvanjagermanjenson182]

​@Ůltraman-Édìtzz the store doesn't restrict you from seeing it, but it will not be coming to quest 2.

[@dorsmap]

60 dollars I assume?

[@VRManCave]

They didn't say but I really hope not. I feel like $40 would be a great pricepoint for it from what I've experienced playing it.

[@romanlegion8331]

With all due respect to your opinion... Combat looks like hot trash...apparently ground takedowns are just repeatedly wailing on them like your a girl in a cat fight

[@VRManCave]

Hey it's fine to have different opinions. I'm basing mine on actually playing and having a ton of fun. I agree that it can kinda look like crap in recordings, and I mentioned this in the video as well, that I was worried after seeing the gameplay trailer, but combat feels fluid and super cool when actually doing it.

[@ryankenny8910]

There are no quest 3 only games

[@VRManCave]

Well then this one’s the first 😄

[@smittyvanjagermanjenson182]

There are now. Quest 2 hardware is too weak for bigger and newer titles.

[@gbbenner9382]

This looks great, can't wait to play it on the Quest 4.

[@VRManCave]

Hahaha why Quest 4? It's coming this October :)

[@gbbenner9382]
