5 Xbox One & PS4 Games We Need in 2014: GTA 5, BioShock & More
Batman: Arkham Asylum for Xbox One & PS4 | ||||||
 | ||||||
When it debuted in 2009, Batman: Arkham Asylum wasn’t just the good game that surprised everyone because it was about superheros and that genre has never been successfully translated into a console experience. No, Batman: Arkham Asylum was simply a fun game that made users feel like Batman and reminded them of why they loved the character so much. There were gadgets and gizmos everywhere and plenty of bad guys to beat up with its innovative combat system. About the only thing that wasn’t on the table where the game’s graphics. They weren’t bad per se, they just weren’t amazing. As the title that gave superhero games hope, it’d be fitting if it also saw a release on the Xbox One complete with upgraded graphics and all access to all of its downloadable content. The game deserves it, even if it doesn’t have any multiplayer elements. Batman: Arkham Knight has already been confirmed for the two modern gaming platforms. It takes place in the same universe as the first game, but even adds the Batmobile to the character’s toolbox. | ||||||

Couldn’t agree more with 4 of the games on this list (never played L. A. Noire so I can’t comment one way or the other). The other big one I think though that’s missing is Skyrim. With all these games (except GTA V) there are already PC versions with hi-resolution textures and most have great sound resources already they just need an engine port, which could even be done by a good 3rd party development house (esp. for Bioshock Infinite this would be a must). Many of these are also good DLC/In-App Purchase “frameworks” so developers would stand to make a good deal from the IAPs in addition to whatever they could sell the remade version for.

Infinite had a “punk-gothic” storyline and art style? I must have played a different version of the game. lol

Personally, I’d rather have the first two games remade for the next gen consoles. Bioshock Infinite just wasn’t up to par with the first two story-wise. It felt rushed unlike the first Bioshock that I felt told the story flawlessly.
