It’s the Fourth of July, and Gotham City is under attack by a new threat: the mysterious Rat King and his cultish devotees. As widespread rioting engulfs the city, Batman races to prevent this so-called “Day of Wrath” before it all goes wrong.

WOLF PLEASE PLAY WANDERER THE FRAGMENT OF TIME WHEN IT'S REALIESED PLEASE I BEG YOU
Man it's a real shame this is a quest exclusive, I was somewhat interested in the game before hearing that.
I think this looks great, but I’m scared it will have the problem that games like assassins creed nexus has. Those games are great, but have the problem that they sometimes feel like flatscreen games with motion controls. Like instead of the combat being physics based or made for the Vr it’s made differently. However I’m sure it will be fine anyway.
Initially my expectations weren't too high but this actually looks pretty fun.
how is the combat going to work against more complex enemies
like a person with a shield
To me, the general graphics look very solid, but the HUD/GUI design looks crap. It sticks out like a sore thumb and some of the icons look just bad and like some crappy Flash or budget indie game made by amateurs or whatever, like the blue lightning one for when to swing around to defend against an off-screen enemy. It's really at its worst during the combat imo, where it starts to look really tacky and very patently gamey, totally ruining my suspension of disbelief. The aesthetic design of the HUD/GUI stuff just lets the rest of the visual quality down imo, and even more so in VR where you want the least amount of immersion breaking as possible. I really have a problem with so many HUDs/GUIs in modern games, and it's a shame it's an issue again here. They need to at least do a second pass on this, and if they can't make it look better for launch, I hope they patch the game later with some stuff that looks far more worthy of being in a Batman game. Make it look like it's actually the kind of real stuff you'd see in an actual Batman heads up display built into his mask on some proper digital/holographic visor or whatever. Or, please, just give us an option to turn all that junk off and let me properly get immersed in the game. And, if not, then, please, someone hack this game at some point and allow for that option.
The Jay guy was legit the only one i have never seen of those vr youtubers 😂 its funny he really went «you prob already know who i am» lol why did he do that when he is like the smallest YouTuber there. So awkward.
One of the devs mentioned things they wanted to incorporate in Iron Man 2, I wonder if we will be getting a sequel to Iron Man VR? Btw, Wolf, if you ever make it out to Seattle/Bellevue again hit me up and I’ll buy you a beer…
Where is she!? 😂
I don't know why, but I go straight to you for VR reviews
What an amazing experience! Thank you for sharing Wolf. Moments like these deserves the spotlight.
Wonderful coverage! The developers seem very passionate about this project with how they approached solving problems like "punching across the room". I am eager to play it myself! 🦇 Honest feedback for the camera man, focus on who is talking – to see the body language and emotion of the speaker is important. It was a little awkward sometimes 😅
I hope its closer to Asylum. One of the complaints I had towards Iron Man vr was constantly going back and forth between kinda empty maps and Tony's lab.
Face doesn't match the voice…
Wolf do a giveaway for the game at launch. And of course pick me as one of the winners
I'm so excited for this game!!! Lets go
I must say not having Riddler Trophies is a bit disappointing because the idea of physically beating Enigma for all the years of torment for finding his trophies would’ve been incredible.
I can't wait to see you playing the full game.
looks good, and rarely if ever do i get impressed by Quest titles.
Perhaps the coolest part of this game is that it will include mixed reality
you weren't sweating from fatigue, it's all that processing that is happening on your faaace! 😉
The devs seem like great people.
Hope they bring this game to quest 2
Quest 3 exclusive? Pass!
Very important question especially for the Batman nerds… What are the three Batman books on the coffee table, and did they mention them as being of any particular significance for the game. The way these guys leave Easter eggs… I'm wanting to go read them all right now!
Seeing matteo in someone elses video is like watching your fav actor get a cameo in your fav movie
"batman is a slow fighter" 😂 bruh
Someone tell that super arrogant guy that I am here at this video and no, I do not know who he is. Yeesh.
I'm sorry, did you say "Meta"?
Skip.
After this i'am waiting spiderman game
I love it when he shows his face that is when you now it is going to be good
I have a Quest 2 and mainly use it with PCVR. I dont plan on upgrading until if the Quest 4 releases. Too bad this won't come to PCVR, oh well. I'll just watch Wolf play it 😊
This video makes me super hyped for this game. The marketing they've done for it, starting with a teaser, then a cinematic story trailer, then a gameplay trailer and now these demos, this has been a brilliant marketing technique. I think it has really helped to build the hype. I can't wait.
I do still hope you can combat how you want cause the way it looks like it forces you into certain combos looks kind of less free which is the one think i would want from a vr fighting game. Not expecting blade and sorcery combat but still would like more free combat not necessarily even physics based
It is not rat king. It is rat catcher, and we all know what to him in Arkham City.
Unless they changed his name it’s Rat CATCHER. Rat King is a TMNT character
If only Arizona Sunshine 2 took the same approach to sewers… most of that game is spent there. It is boring. Really happy that these devs are in touch with the players
When will you post a video or you playing this game on the channel?
As Arkham Asylum is one of my favourite games, to get a Batman VR game based off Arkham Asylum, with Roger Craig Smith's voice behind the man! Oh I couldn't wish more more!!!~
Can't wait for Man:Ham Shadow
SO HYPED!!!!!!!!
I need more than one heavy hitter to play the meta quest 3 re4 remake vr also a good choice but I need even more I need several heavy hitters
Hey man, you should check out skydances BEHEMOTH when it comes out!
Seems like a good game…stop big opengame – finally, quality vs quantity of useless stuff – here you have stealth , interesint combat system with different style.. seems not too complex to navigate i like im more interested in the ride , story etc… like today i have a hard time going back to witcher 3 while i have less issue with gta5 , or readdead or just more linear games cause im too tired of the « collecting bread » and whatnot , the grinding and going around trying to find something.. especially in vr..
For replaybility they need an arena mode and the challenge mode for sure!
YOOO FACE REVEAL YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
oh god
ryan payton sounds like he's voiced by troy baker
oh i just randomly found out what he looks like but more importantly we found out who BATMAN looks like
