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.

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