In attempting to bring Batman: Arkham Knight from PS4 and Xbox One to Nintendo Switch, the technical limitations of the hardware are laid bare - but fundamentally, the port just doesn't feel as though it's been confidently handled, with a range of tech issues. Bearing in mind their PS3/Xbox 360 origins, we expected more from Arkham Asylum and Arkham City - but even these exhibit off-putting issues. Oliver Mackenzie has all of the details.

00:00 Overview
00:55 Arkham Knight
08:36 Arkham Asylum and Arkham City
12:12 Analysis and conclusion

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Lol you're faster than my firefox notifications.

 

[SmokedMeat]

This one’s wearing Hockey Pads.

 

[Mephisto40]

How did that even get cleared for release?!? it's literally unplayable

 

[diffusionx]

1. Those shit ps4/xbox one remasters
2. no arkham knight ps4 pro patch
3. gotham knights
4. suicide squad
5. this

WB just doesn't treat this series with the respect they deserve.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Oh my, that looks disgusting

WB, what is you doing baby

I'll do my best to paraphrase adamsapple here.

0:00-14:34 It fucking sucks

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

0:00-14:34 It fucking sucks

Can you please be more succinct. Don't have time to read all that.

 

[Saber]

Not surprising, seeing that is not even perfect on a PS4. The stutter looks absolutelly frustating, reminds me of the terrible time I had with World War Z on PS4.
Also reminds me of Ark Survival initially. Whats the fucking point of porting a game, removing everything until the game is barelly recognizable and call it a day? Does any people play Skyrim with "Ultra Low Mod" and say "yeah I can finally play it on garbage PC at least"?

I'm impressed with this criticism when Pokemon Scarlet Violet look on par with Lost Hope and still doesn't look like it was bashed enough.

 

[Hero_Select]

idk how they thought this was acceptable to release, it looks abysmal

 

[Kacho]

0:00-14:34 It fucking sucks

LOL

The framerate in Arkham Knight at 12:14 is insane. Should have waited for the Switch successor for this collection.

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

Worst port of 2023?

 

[Krappadizzle]

 

[justiceiro]

I was thinking wb was a hero for making so many impossible ports available for switch this year, but now I realize they just milking dry those poor switch owners that have no other place to buy games until the switch successor releases.

 

[Fake]

Now, is strange to AA and AC running that poorly taking into consideration Xbox 360 version.

 

[nowhat]

Ah, mods, I see a thread was already posted. Kill this or merge them.

 

[SCB3]

ouch, I'm currently replaying the Series on PC with Graphics and the Arkham mods and it pains me to see these games straight up butchered on Switch

 

[Bojji]

Worst port of 2023?

Worst performing game author of the video have ever seen.

I think this game can rival 0FPS Skyrim on PS3, at least Skyrim was fine for x amount of hours. Arkham Knight is shit from first second.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

This is a worthy port of the garbage to your hardware that it has been ported to. Just terrible

 

[Karppuuna]

I was reasingly rockin Arkham Night new play thru in my i7 6700k 4,3hz and GTX 2080 and it sometimes still give me some trouble to hit 60 in 4K and even 1440p so its still a have game.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Meanwhile, elsewhere at WB Games, they made an unbelievable port of Hogwarts Legacy on the Switch which basically preserves the full game and runs at 30 fps more often than not

Pokemon Scarlet and violet should never have stopped being bashed. It's insane with the constant DLC and such they never improved the performance.

I'm also seeing gamers defend this one as well which is beyond shocking to me.

Enjoy what you like but a game should never be released in this shape.

Luckily Nintendo gave me a refund when I contacted them via support chat.

This one’s wearing Hockey Pads.

Wait, is that Cillian Murphy on the right? I never noticed!

 

[Red5]

He plays Scarecrow in Nolan's trilogy, though his role in Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises is minor.

I know that. Just never noticed he’s in that scene… or I just forgot. It’s been a while since I last watched TDK.

 

[nial]

I think being a graphics whore is an expensive way to destroy one’s enjoyment, satisfaction and contentment with gaming.

Shhh, just consume the terrible port, goddamn you graphics whores.

 

[Skifi28]

These ports are always worth it just for watching the carnage unfold.

 

[fersnake]

so if the switch 2 is going to have the ps4 performance or in the best case scenario the pro well ppl are going to be disappointed.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

I am playing this on ps5 and it seems fine to me. Granted I am only in the first real mission.

It was $4.

 

[MALpractice311]

Is anyone surprised by this? It's the Switch.
