3D Batman Arkham Asylum Announced (PC/PS3/Xbox 360)
It was a huge success on it’s release, so it’s no surprise to hear the we’re getting a Game of the Year edition of Batman Arkham Asylum. But that’s not all. The Game of the Year edition will come with the option to play in 3D on regular TV’s, so no 3D-ready TV is required.
Whilst the GOTY edition will be released on PS3, 360 and PC, it will be only the consoles that will benefit from this feature.
The game will use TriOviz 3D, which “…is a patented 3D process which adds depth to the game…” Of course we’ll have to wear 3D specs to play the game and you’ll get a set included with a copy of the game, but I’m hoping that I can use the 3D specs I have from my times watching 3D films at the cinema as they’d be better than some cardboard ones thrown in with the game.
Either way though, surely this is the start of the 3D games evolution? If Square Enix are pushing it out already and now with Arkham Asylum, then I would have thought it won’t be long until other games start including a 3D option in their games, whether it be from a downloaded patch or on the disc.
Will the 3D be any good though? I’m guessing it won’t be as good as the proper PS3 3D gaming that is coming to the console in June. The game was brilliant but will the third dimension give it that something extra, or just another cheap gimmick to sell extra copies? We got to play Batman: Arkham Asylum using NVIDIA’s 3D gaming system at Eurogamer Expo 2009, so I wonder how it will compare to that, presumably it won’t be as good? Let us know what you think below.
Batman Arkham Asylum: Game of the Year Edition will be released 26th March 2010.

I got Batman: Arkham Asylum as a free Steam download when I got a new graphics card (which was cool), I spent around 6hrs playing the game, I think I’d got about 25% completed and have now lost my game saves following a Windows re-installation – I stupidly assumed Steam would save the games in my Documents folder like most games do these days and perhaps even store a copy of the saves online (they don’t).
So I’m in two minds whether I want to sit at a PC for another 6hrs to get back to the point I was at before – perhaps having the chance to play this in 3D on my PS3 is the reason I needed to replay it chilling out in front of my big screen TV? :)
