Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate gameplay a 10 minute video walktrough
PS Vita Screen Of Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate by Armature
A lucky few in Europe already had a chance to buy Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate from the PlayStation Network Store early. The rest of PS Vita audience has to wait until the game is released on October 25th. Developer Armature Studios shared new footage of gameplay for the Metroidvania style Batman Arkham Origins game.
Yesterday when I used my smartphone to browse through the new PlayStation Network Webstore, I had the option to buy the Vita version of Batman Arkham Origins: Blackgate. Mind you I did not buy the game yet, because I first want to play the new PS3 Batman which releases on the same day.
Story
Set after the events of the PlayStation 3 game, Batman Arkham Origins but before the highly popular Batman Arkham City and Arkham Asylum. The story sees Batman investigating riots inside of the Blackgate prison facility.
Gameplay
What can you expect from this 2.5D Batman on a handheld? The (PS Vita) footage which can be seen in the video below, tells us that the game is in the style of Metroid; offering a large emphasis on exploration, finding upgrades for your equipment and Batman outfit, backtracking and boss battles. It also shows off detective mode and some of the tactics Batman can use to dispose of his enemies.
Controls
The PS Vita touch and accelerometer features are put to work, the latter in some sort of puzzle solving hack sequence which somehow reminded me of hacking in Bionic Commando.
Ultimately I am curious to see how this works out; normally I am not a fan of how most Vita games use the touchscreen mechanics. However the recent Killzone Mercenaries managed to deliver on a surprisingly good implementation on touch controls so let’s hope Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate also does.
Batman Arkham Origins will be available on both PS Vita and 3DS, which version will you buy? Like or hate reading my articles address me on twitter @italkgame or voice your thoughts in the comments below. But whatever you do, DO NOT like this on Facebook or Google plus

Stop liking and tweeting and google plussing this
Totally played this game on a Vita Devkit (HDMI OUT :P) a few weeks ago, while it is fun, this didn’t feel like a true ‘metroidvania.” It’s very linear
IS THIS A GBA GAME? WHERE IS GRAPHICS?
NO JUMP!!??
oh I’m sorry, I didn’t know you have made much better games yourself
Doesn’t matter it’s still kind of boring…
It’s not boring but for Batman who is supposed to be a high-tech ninja who can’t jump….something is wrong but other than that it still looks good for a Vita game
Lol no.. For a Vita game this looks rushed ported and optimized for 3ds instead.
This looks like a fun but really really under worked and under polished lazy built game targeted to 3ds owners.. rather than us Vita owners who got a port with touch screen features.
what about another walkthrough
one about qcma and missing dependencies on older versions?
etc
one about the new wifi possibilities?
and maybe add a tvtuner-qcma fork ?
or ther other walkthroughs i miss ?
thanks to wololo xD
cheers
Vjoy howto faq walkthrough (psm psp en listener on linux ?
i got the feeling this is a psp game exported to the vita.
This game will stay in the dark i guess…
For me it ks good game, but strategy is bit hard. Good for vita that good tittles is released for that little forgeted console. I wonder IF EA release some boxing game for vita Mike FNR series. The gfx ks Vetter than PSP 2 analogs so why not? Have nice day guys.
Do you know what Batman said to Robin right before they jumped into the Batmobil?
Come on Robin lets jump into the Batmobil!
its not that bad ….but they coud do it better…. its a cuadcore portable sistem and can hold pefectly the 3d or the hole console game with minor differense in grafics.(look at uncharted,ninja gaiden …… so they can if they wont it?!) i think theat they did this becose its portable and to not have differece with the other potlable version -3ds. well, i repeaat it they could of do it better for the vita and finaly have some realy wrthit console expiriance game.
Garbage. Spider-man for PSP is way better than this.
Finally, it’s about time they let my people from Gotham City play my GAME. ENJOY!
This game looks horrible.. seriously.
Always fun game ps3 why make s€it on vita
Is it a video game? Look like batman forever on snes
Waste of money and time better play arkham origin on remote screen
Yeah, graphics do look like comlete ***, especially for the Vita’s capability. Wasn’t planning on getting it anyway, but this is a relief that i’m not missing anything i would have liked.
