Batman: Arkham VR

Hey All,

Thought I would start a new thread for this title, on visuals alone I think it warrants its own discussion

What settings are people using, on what setup and with which headset.

Had a quick try yesterday on a Rift, running 1.6SS via debug tool and using the in game NVidia option, although also had 200% pixel density, not sure how the other settings had an affect but with these my FX8350 and 1080 FE were maxed, although it did look damn good.

How does the in game pixel density relate to debug tools SS, are they essentially the same thing?

You can find more information here.

More importantly, this game gives foveated rendering options.. what we need for now to up the quality of games.

I was so disappointed with the PSVR experience (slightly lag/drift when moving my head fast, blurry), so might pick this up and putting the 1080 through its paces.

I was running my 1080 FE at my highest stable OC and it was maxed out but looked amazing

I'll be picking this game up for the Vive (which I've had for a year) as soon as I get a 1080ti to power it. Apparently it's good for one play through, but I got a few Batman fans in my family, so no doubt that will extend its lifespan.

The link above is a good read and will have a play with my settings later.

I've already got the game, but got it on the basis of testing out the rendering on my lowly graphics card. Hopefully it doesn't need a 1080...

Do you think its worth £14.99? I fancy trying it but a few reviews saying its not worth it.

Its short, not much game play, more of a walk through with some interaction but visually one of the best VR experiences I have seen.

Is it worth £14.99, that would be up to the individual I guess.

From what I've heard, it can be thoroughly experienced from start to finish in an hour or so - this obviously depends on how long single things can hold your attention for.

Buy it, finish it, refund it. No game is worth £15 for an hours worth of entertainment.

That's how you kill an industry.

It's how you nip short-sighted money grabs in the bud.

No refunds on any Oculus Store purchases, it's in the small print

This was the first game I've ever refunded on steam.
It looks gorgeous but just felt so soulless.

Got this for a fiver from a cdkey site, certainly isnt worth 15 quid but its a good showcase for what can be done. It has no replayability though. Performance wise though with foveated rendering on, its butter smooth and looks fantastic.
