One of my favorite moments in Arkham Origins that really utilizes the soundtrack well, is when Bane throws Batman into Joker's room at the Royal Hotel, it's Christmas-esque and sounds almost like a dance, showing the energetic mind but also the wonder when Joker detonates the other building and the DEEP and heavy score when Batman goes and grabs him and angrily asks "How many lives did you just take" It was a very phenomenal moment for the story and the music does wonders for that moment

There’s a reason it performed the way it did when it first released. Especially coming off Arkham City.

[@MrGamer07100]

@@Mohamad-m7md I guess you didn’t see the rattings for Origins compared to Asylum and City. I’m talking about initial pubic reception before more cycles of fans declaring it’s an underrated best entry. It wasn’t until Arkham Knight came out people decided to change their tune for Origins. If the reception was better from day 1, we’d have a port. Companies like sells, and 10/10 games. Origins wasn’t either. You can disagree with that all you like, but everyone knows Origins isn’t as highly received as the rest. I can see Origins potentially doing better had they remastered it with huge improvements in a perfect world.

[@TheKanistan]

@@MrGamer07100 there was also the fact that the pc port was a mess at launch, including game-breaking glitches and crashes. can't remember if consoles had them too, but that probably contributed to the overall sales numbers. if i remember correctly there was immediately a big controversy about that at launch, with people refunding the game and telling people not to buy it. one of the earlier examples of gamers realising that we were starting to be sold unfinished products for full price... anyway, on your point about companies caring about their products being 10/10, i disagree. publishers really just want to sell us the least amount of product (in terms of quality, manpower, dev time etc) for the most amount of money possible. a 7 out of 10 is enough to achieve that successfully - or even less, given what gamers eat up nowadays lol. i think WB was just genuinely too clueless about what fans want to commission a sequel to arkham origins. and now with the recent news about the direction DC games will be going, it's too late.

I’m so glad I still gave both my PS3 and Arkham Origins. I’ve lost so my priceless games over the years. I played Origins about a week ago and it is remarkable! I only wished the DeathStroke fight would’ve been one of the lasts or was as good as the Mr.Freeze fight from Arkham City. I still like it though even though it was simple, and I don’t hate it like some people felt. I 🥰 loved the design of Copperhead & the choice of changing him to a she, since I only remember Copperhead as a dude from animated series, animated movies, or comics. I thought it was funny that they had some villain nobody, What was his name? Electrocutioner? Finally, really like what they included in Bane’s story how he knew who Batman was, the TN-1 project he was working on to overcome addictions brain damage to the memory center from Venom was mostly untested & unstable. Heck I remember when Arkham Asylum was released, even before I had an HDMI TV and was blown away at the graphics for the Arkham games. I’m not sure but I think that’s where I believe PS3 reached its peak, or pushed the limits further.

I personally loved arkham origins. It was a great addition to the others. But Arkham city will always we my favorite. But origins had the best dlc!

[@kenobi7751]

I would personally love a remaster but I get why. I love the other Arkham games, Knight is definitely a great game and I love going around with the origins skin. One workaround I would think of is if they did a sequel or additional prequel to asylum. So you could have Harvey dent initially as an ally in a long Halloween type story. One villain you could have, maybe as the main one is the Phantasm. There'd be a lot of stake in terms of Batmans emotion and how he once struggled with his mission. I realize it was one of Conroy's main projects in terms of the timmverse but I'm kind of convinced it would work in a game context, Arkham in particular. Call it Arkham crossroads or something. But I don't think any of the games ever touched up on the relationship between Batman and Andrea or Harvey and both were great stories. You could also have David Cain who has been criminally under represented in media, especially with Bruce being framed for murder, it's something I've always wanted in a film or game. I've started to find Cain quite interesting recently and it might be a good option, especially if they didn't want to do Deathstroke again? You could also have maybe Batgirl involved? Either Cassandra Cain or Barbara or both! Have both Cains and Gordon as dlc characters?

[@kenobi7751]

Dlc ideas could include: Batman - Batman begins suit - love this suit and it has been modded to death. JL Affleck skins - think Ben did a great job and I wish we had gotten these with Arkham Knight The Batman skin - Robert Pattinson was a great Batman and this is a younger Batman and a sequel is obviously due and it'd be great to have both suits DCU skin - maybe the game releases around the same time who knows but it should be added sometime after if the game comes first. If it's a good suit, Kilmers third act suit - I've always wanted this one personally, don't know if others feel the same. Keaton suit from both returns and The flash - these suits are absolutely phenomenal and I think that Keaton's suit from the flash is definitely one of the best and would have been a treat in AK with the Batmobile

[@R1SE101]

I need to keep saying this to everyone that discusses Origins. WB has basically removed all DLC content from being purchased on platforms outside of Steam to my knowledge. It began at the earliest month in my current research in April of 2023. Please make this known to everyone, please make WB hear us fans‼️

[@HOTD108_]

You say that like it's a surprise lmao. The vast majority of PS3/360 era games have had their DLC delisted, and for good reason. Those consoles are obsolete hardware that haven't been manufactured for many years now, so of course third party companies aren't going to pay for their licenses to be renewed for those old storefronts. There are some PS3/360 games that still have most of their DLC available, but you'll notice that's only the case for a tiny minority of games. Old fans had a whole decade to get that DLC if they wanted, and potential new fans aren't going to be playing on consoles from before several generations ago, they'll be playing it off Steam, which of course still has the DLC available so it's all good. This is a non-issue.

Like say, for example, both arche Asylum and Arkham Knight reference that bane broke Batman’s back at some point, so I guess we just have to assume a version of nightfall off screen? I don’t mind the Harley Quinn origin since even Arkham city Reton, a lot of the information from Arkham Asylum, by making hush and Hugo strange new enemies for Batman, but I do wish the games were a little more tightly net, continuity wise .

This isn’t featured in AK. Not to mention the art style and previously mentioned sound design.

There are elements of the levelling up system that require you perform particular tasks, and if you do not do these before certain story beats, you need to begin the game from scratch. That's not good game design, and the game never tells you this. It's quite a serious flaw. It means you can't 100% the game. Despite that, I still want this game to make a return.

I mean all they would have to do is license the music again. Maybe Drake would play hardball, but everyone has a price. And composers that are under competing labels work for or appear on other studios’ projects all the time. So if they thought they could make money on Arkham Origins, paying Christopher Drake the fee needed to keep to original music would be a heck of a lot cheaper than hiring a new composer. And it’s obviously not a money issue because we know WB has the money. It’s all based on how much they calculate the risk to be. If paying the licensing fee for using his music is more than what they feel is an acceptable risk for rereleasing the game then yes, they will not do it. But then it’s up to fans to communicate that they would be interested in a remake or rerelease so that the executives at WB games feel like the endeavor would be suitably profitable.

Secondly, the idea that it won't get re released because it's not made by rocksteady is a bad take, bro. I could see that being the reason it wasn't included in the Arkham trilogy, but that doesn't explain why it hasn't gotten a stand alone re release. As to why i think they might finally remaster it, i got two words... Suicide Squad. After the disasterous Suicide Squad and the vad reception to their new VR only Batman game, WB needs some serious Positive PR, and what better way than to remind people why they live Batman with this gem of a game. It wouldn't cost them that much, and would turn a huge profit (sure the game received mixed reviews at launch, but the game has since become a cult classic and tons of people want to play it but can't, it would sell great) plus it would help with reminding people how good the arkhamverse was, and help mend that broken bridge caused by suicide squad. BTW, you said the game only has minor references to Origins, and that is just blatantly wrong. The game has major returning characters and tons of verbal and visual references. It's absolutely a part of the Arkhamverse.

[@Maniac536]

Thank you for talking about this. What’s sad is given the state of the the ps3 and Xbox 360 digital marketplaces the Mr Freeze expansion could technically be considered lost media at this point

After GoldenEye N64 getting released last year, anything is possible. Not only was it a Nintendo game which was made by developers who are now part of Microsoft, it was based on a James Bond movie which involves an additional two companies along with the Movie Actors whose faces are plastered everywhere in the game. Then there's a separate license for James Bond videos games and a bunch of rules that were made after GE like how you can't have Bond kill any friendly NPCs in Single Player or Multiplayer, you must use the current Bond Actor (unless currently recasting so this one was fine), and other stuff that GoldenEye violates. There were literally dozens of reasons for why GoldenEye can't be rereleased but after 25 years it finally happened. Arkham Origins being made by a different developer that Warner Bros already owns and the composer needing a new licensing deal should be child's play compared to this...but WB often makes bad choices so who knows. Realistically it shouldn't be that big of a challenge to rerelease Arkham Origins but only time will tell.

[@Blaiswing246]

Honestly, I would love to see you do more Arkham content. Maybe your favorite gadgets, how you would fix Origins and Knight’s story, rankings of the game, etc. Or maybe even some retrospectives. I know you guys have a very busy schedule, but I could see you being really great at it!

[@willie1886]

Here's the question for you Luke to why we never gotten a remake of Batman Arkham Origins because no one cared, The game was staticy when it came out especially on the PS3 and Xbox 360 That's the reason why. You right that is a interesting question.

[@Knownascomic]

Damn it the fact we didn’t get a Superman game from the OG studio is a massive crime

[@M567dk]

I never knew music was that expensive to be used. Honestly if WB/Discovery get over themselves maybe we could finally get Lego Batman in its full glory.

[@darthkurland]

I’m not sure what Danny Elfman would say about that. But if his music is used, he would likely get royalties from its use.

[@darthkurland]

BTW, I found Elfman’s theme as sheet music in one of the levels of “Gotham Knights.”

[@TrentvsTheWorld]

I loved the multiplayer, and animated batman skins from the show.

[@darthkurland]

The Animated Series outfits were originally made available for “Batman: Arkham City.”

[@TrentvsTheWorld]

@@darthkurland I really had hoped they were brought back and with the batgirl one

[@maesonphillips4950]

Such a shame. I got this game the Christmas of 2013 and at the time I was very new to the Arkham series and a lot of Batman content in general. I played through this game nonstop and completed the main campaign in just under two days. Very fond memories of both playing this game and watching your original playthrough on the 01 channel. I will always look upon this game and the Arkham series fondly. Also thanks for the years of content. Keep it up and Merry Christmas.

[@suhsnow]

If they won’t remaster it they should at least keep the multiplayer up.

[@theragingrodent__]

Dude there's still a little hole in my heart from when they stopped supporting that multiplayer. I think if they updated the graphics and threw in some new maps people would love it.

[@suhsnow]

@@theragingrodent__ plus on top of the fact some achievements are locked behind multiplayer

[@halloweenvalentine3669]

3:55 what were the questions you asked

[@TheRealBGregz]

Why not just pay the composer to use his score?

[@darthkurland]

Because Warner Bros. are becoming cheapskates, and they’re in a heap of financial trouble.

[@ethansmith279]

Genuine curiosity, what are the continuity errors I’m hearing about, is it the stuff that goes against the Asylum tapes (Harley Quinn origin etc.) or is it something bigger I missed

[@kwingsletsplays]

Harley meeting Joker, never occurred in Blackgate. Later in his career at Arkham. Bane turning into Monster didn't happen till he was tortured in Aslyum. Hence Batman's shock at seeing Bane's ordeal from Dr Young. Mr Freeze accident happened differently, then how Freeze tells it in City to Hugo strange. Similar to Dini's writing from BTAS. Origins changed how the accident happened. Arkham Asylum was the first time Joker had control of a prison and orchestrated a riot. Batman would've expected it to happen again. Everyone including GCPD and Arkham staff were not ready for that event. Had Origins happened and blackgate, they likely would've learned from past mistakes. Arkham City was created because of the failure of AA and thr incident that occurred. I could go on, but thats just a bite size portion what Origins goofed on.

[@ShadowOfNexxus]

Arkham Origins great!!!

[@K3nVV]

Im playing Origins for the first time...and having a hard time staying interested. I really enjoyed City and Knight, just dont get the same motivation to play... I probably sound like a hater, and really don't mean to, I want to like it...

[@saltycomet]

💯

[@jaredcubernot7523]

The 360 disc works on the Xbox One. I am grateful for that. The game runs however you do encounter glitches mainly in the combat. I would like to see this get a remaster because all of the pieces are there for a much more enjoyable experience

[@Pedro19993]

I want origins and blackgate so bad 😢

[@Borvoc]

Okay, but why does the fact that Origins was made by WB instead of Rocksteady mean they can't put it into any Arkham collections? WB are the ones rereleasing the games, not Rocksteady, right?

[@rubensantiagoHOFER]

I am so pissed! I had the game on 360 and then lost it when X-Box upgraded their systems and I couldn’t get it back, I really love the game! I have read and heard rumors that it was going to be remastered and made available for the X-Box S series, I feel it belongs as part of the Arkham story arc and regardless of who made it! As far as I’m concerned it is a Arkham game! And I want it back!

[@Rorschach97]

That's a shame, Origins is honestly my second favorite Arkham game after City, I really like the boss fights, storyline, Roger Craig Smith & Troy Baker's performance as young Batman & Joker were amazing, If only WB were smart.

[@chriskelly6452]

I used to watch this channel 10 years ago crazy they are still at it

[@BatGamershow0661940]

Can you do a video on why we haven't got Injustice3

[@darthkurland]

I think we all want an answer for that.

[@Mohamad-m7md]

Maybe because there’s no more story to tell

[@GregGumbel]

hopefully they realized how stupid the injustice storyline was

[@jamesrichardson6689]

I would like to see it re-released because my experience with the game, I can beat the main story of the game. But every time I try to finish all of the side missions, the entire campaign gets deleted automatically before i get to 100% complete. Then I have to start all over again. I feel like if there's any issues concerning bugs in the game, it's that. Anyone else experience that issue?

[@robertrosalez6560]

What are you playing on?

[@jamesrichardson6689]

Xbox 360

[@robertrosalez6560]

@@jamesrichardson6689 I played it on my Series X and no problems and I also have it on Steam Deck but I only played it for 10 minutes but I will see when I play it again

[@darthkurland]

All of these reasons are just a bunch of bullshit. Whoever’s in charge of WB Interactive needs to take another look at this franchise before abandoning it.

[@thisxgreatxdecay]

Isn't a video game score all work for hire? Why would they need the composer's permission to re-release the game? It's not like they licensed a pre-existing song.

[@TheDrummerGamer]

If I’m not mistaken, during the production of Arkham Knight, Warner Brother forced Rocksteady to include Origins into AK. During the time, many fans hated the idea because it was hated at the time. Of course, that was before we knew about the lackluster story of AK.

[@TheUnknownEdits1.0]

Lmao kinda like now with the new suicide squad kill the justice league game but for reason

[@gg0090]

Best way to play it is on the Xbox one , runs decent on there as well

[@j.c.denton2340]

Similar can be said for JSRF's re-release. It won't happen because of one artist

[@WOLVERINE__74]

Thanks for the video Luke. Arkham Origins is dope

[@danevirke]

Okay story…….its absolutely the best story of all Batman games. And that is a fact. Best boss battles too. And just because wb Montreal made the game it gets all the hate, funny thing. Batman Arkham knight was even more broken on pc that origins was but it is origins that’s get all the hate. I wander why that is🤔

[@DarthTingleBinks]

I don't understand why people ask you. It's not as if you have the power to decide or the knowledge of whether or not it's ever going to happen. Personally, I'd rather just keep playing the games over and over and wait for if and when they do release it again as a remaster or remake. Will it happen? I don't know. And that is a sufficient answer for me.

[@shoopdoopdapapadoop2616]

Origins was amazing. I'd love to get it again on current gen

[@space.pirate481]

but rocksteady studio is on batman arkham origins on end credits

[@chickenburger61]

I still think that WB Montreal can make a PS5 and Xbox Series X remaster for the game with all DLC, even if it's not connected to a trilogy collection

[@darthkurland]

I agree. But we need to know what the main obstacle is which is preventing the remastered release from happening.

[@chickenburger61]

@darthkurland WB Montreal still recovering from their huge L that was Gotham Knights

[@darthkurland]

@@chickenburger61 this could be a way of recovering from that loss.

[@pradeepkashyap5248]

It doesn't matter, I don't think DC understands that if you make content for the fans, you'll get the money. Gotham knights was trash. Like after some time if your creative freedom is the problem, then stick to the formula or hire better people. They should remaster it.
