WBIE knew the PC version of ‘Batman Arkham Knight’ was broken
Adopting a first-person camera view, the game follows a police officer as he enters a diner, sits down at the counter, and places his order.
The game is set in the entire Gotham City this time. Peace isn’t something that lasts long in Gotham though. The episode continues with exhilarating chase to take down Firefly and an intense Batmobile Battle Mode face off as Batman disarms one of the Arkham Knight’s Explosives. What peeved people off even more was that prior to the release, NVIDIA showcased the game at 1080p/60 FPS, knowing full well that the finished product was to be far from what was being shown.
It is good to see however that RockSteady has owned up to their mistake and are doing everything to sort out their game via an update.
Everything I love about video games can be boiled down to one central idea: By combining aspects of different media in an interactive environment, video games have the potential to transport you to new worlds in ways that no other medium can.
But that’s all a bit existential for a piece about a vehicle with bat decals.
The best part of Gotham though is how you make you way around the city.
Now, as fun as it is to ‘drive, ‘ the Batmobile, my opinion is that it is used too often in the game, to the point you wonder how Bats got on without his vehicle in previous titles.

Being able to eject out of the Batmobile and fly through the skies only to come back down on an enemy’s head is beyond gratifying but the Batmobile does have a bad side. If developers are just honest and frank, things will be better. They did admit that it will take a lot of time.
From the moment the game begins, the first thing you notice is Gotham itself. However certain quests won’t allow progression until a certain story mission has been accomplished.
Arkham Knight is not revolutionary in any way. The game’s exploration of psychological decay owes a huge debt to Moore’s story, which illuminated the co-dependency at the heart of Batman and the Joker’s relationship. Either because of the game’s ambitious visuals, Batmobile inclusion, or a simple lack of familiarity with the hardware, the console version of Batman went months over schedule and this may have impacted the resources available to bug-fix the PC version. Throughout the Arkham series, the core gameplay formula has been consistently improved and it finally attains near perfection in Arkham Knight.
