Batman: Arkham Knight

[keg in kc]

Maybe the last. Set a year after Arkham City.



More from Game Informer:

Rocksteady is hoping to raise the bar even higher on what will be its final Arkham game. Set after the events of Arkham City, Batman: Arkham Knight may just end the Dark Knight's journey.

As you've probably guessed from the cover imagery, the Batmobile is finally a core element of the gameplay. An entirely new area of Gotham City, far larger than Arkham City, has much wider streets to accommodate the new driving gameplay that is designed to integrate smoothly with Batman's gliding and grappling traversal. Batman chases down super villains Scarecrow, Penguin, Two-Face, Harley Quinn, and more.

Arkham Knight will release later this year on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Herd mentality amongst gamers on social media is just insane sometimes.

Uhhh put more than an hour into it and get back to me. I've played it for a solid 6+ hours so far and 70% of the missions deal with the batmobile in some fashion. It gets a little tedious shooting these "drone tanks" over and over and over.

Now then, the storyline so far is pretty awesome. I'm enjoying that aspect of he game.

Its not just the fact the port is shitty, instead of coming out and saying 'hey we are going to fix it' or just a thought.. not releasing a shitty port in the first place, they are doubling down on it, and that has people mad.

They came out and said recommended specs (3770 + 980) should give a 'console like' experience.. meaning 1080p at 30FPS (sith some stutters expected.. LOL!!!), and PC gamers should pretty much deal with it. Oh and BTW, SLI and Crossfire doesn't work so we don't recommend those.

What a joke! I run GTA V at 4k everything maxed out (except motion blur, yuk) when im on my SINGLE card, let alone SLI. People play on PC because they don't want a shitty console like experience. And it really has nothing to do with anything but they where too cheap and lazy to make a proper port, not that the game is 'too advanced' or some other shit. PC gaming is moving more and more to 1440p and higher, and that includes 144hz monitors, so performance counts.. bigtime.

So, you can easily discount it as mob mentality or whatever, these are people that forked over money for a product that doesn't meet expectations, should they let WB games just **** them, or should they say something?

Good on them.

Wow, taking a page out of the ubisoft handbook there. "We knew it was shit, we just didn't think you'd bitch so much."

You know, no other businesses operate this way. Let's say you were going to buy a car, you could get a stick shift or an automatic. You prefer stick and it's a great looking car.

The automatics run perfectly but one in three sticks backfire and run terribly.
How long would that car company make a profit? People don't take that shit anywhere else and it shouldn't be acceptable with $60 games, either.
I'm glad they're doing something about it.

I don't know why PC guys are shocked; Ubisoft has always made shitty pc ports.

Why is the batmobile so bad. Is making a car that hard. I mean shit

It's just very average. A little clunky and a bit tough to control at times.

Console players... Do yourselves a favor and adjust the controls to toggle mode. Trust me.

No, car companies would know about the problems and ignore it in hopes there wouldn't be enough scrutiny that it started receiving public attention in the media.

Plus, game bugs and glitches don't have the possibility of killing you - unless you mean in-game.

Batman was not made by Ubisoft. Its made by WB games, and there was a reasonable expectation of quality, as all the other Batman games, and Shadow of Mordor all run fine and where decent port. Shadow of Mordor is damn near perfect (and was on release) and its the latest offering from the company.

Arkham Origins and Arkham City both had terrible launches on PC according to Total Biscuit.

Pretty sure Mortal Kombat X is a Warner Brothers game as well
I remember people saying it was broken on PC during launch also

I think they ended up patching that though

I guess moral of the story is don't pre-order games, especially for PC

At least PC players can get refunds now if they preorder through Steam.

I'm very selective with the games I buy and only preorder one or two games a year, Fallout 4 will be the only game I'll preorder this year. I only buy games that offer tons of replay value and then get the games that don't through Gamefly.
