Why Canceling Gotham Knights' Last-Gen Releases Is the Right Call

Although some fans will be disappointed, releasing Gotham Knights only on the next generation will improve its quality and potentially reduce crunch.

because devs forgot what optimization is?

Flawlessmic737d ago

For the case of this game, which doesnt look that great even the current gen stuff they have showed id say ur right.

In saying that though the previous gen had its time, it has 1000s of games for those players to play, its time to start rewarding us current gen owners with true current gen games simple as that so if they can add some stuff before release due to not having to worry about previous gen then im all for it.

Because making cross gen games is difficult, less platforms less problems.

Sgt_Slaughter737d ago

If the next gen version launches with glitches then this goes out the window

jBlakeeper737d ago

They likely had some trouble with optimization and instead of a delay they just scrapped them. Which is good because these PS5 and Series X only games need to start rolling in now. It’s been two years almost since they came out.

Neonridr737d ago

unfortunately the games were still designed with last gen in mind originally

ClayRules2012737d ago

Exactly. So, I don’t expect much change to have been made by release.

SDuck737d ago

I'm more worried about how the gameplay will feel after seeing the Nightwing & RH trailer

sourOG737d ago

Seems like a game that would benefit from being on as many platforms as possible. Especially being co-op focused.

I don’t know if it’s the “right” call but it’s a welcome one. I’d like to see this with most titles. I have both next gen consoles though so I’m biased.

SDuck737d ago

I mean, only if the coop has crossplay, otherwise the more platforms it has, the worse

sourOG737d ago

Isn’t crossplay pretty standard these days with multiplats? I don’t play many mp games but even evil dead has crossplay.

SDuck736d ago (Edited 736d ago )

it's getting there but for now it's mostly multiplayer only games that get crossplay. Games where the multiplayer is optional like Gotham Knights usually don't get it (I hope it gets though, it would be dope)

Gotham Knights Would've Succeeded Without The Arkham Games

Ahmed from eXputer: "Gotham Knights is considered a critical failure by Batman fans, but I think it's pretty good without comparing it with the Arkham games."

Gaming4Life198111d ago

When it came to gamepass I thought it couldn't be as bad as people said it was. I was wrong cause it's terrible and feels very generic. Maybe it needed more development time and no live service crap.

CrimsonWing6911d ago

What was the live service crap?

neutralgamer199211d ago

It’s an average game and no matter how we spin it it would have still been an average game. Publishers chasing live service most fault but if it happens with natural growth it could happen. Look at helldivers 2 and than look at suicide squad. You have Harry Potter game generating 1 billion but WB still want to chase live service and they want future games from their studios to focus on GAAS

I bought Scarlet Nexus physically a week ago for that price. A very fun and addicting game imo.

Demetrius146d ago

Bern wondering bou getting that too

1nsomniac146d ago

I’ve noticed a distinct lack in any reduction to PS+ subs this holiday season. Sony trying to force customers hands into paying the fully inflated price.

This is the longest I’ve ever been a non PS+ subscriber since it began. I won’t be the only one. Protest with your wallet or they will keep shafting the consumer!

Snookies12146d ago (Edited 146d ago )

They literally just had a reduced price on their official site. It was a 30% discount on all tiers for a year. I paid like $50 for a year of the basic.

shinoff2183146d ago (Edited 146d ago )

Idk man there was a few months recently they knocked it out the park. Like the month we got all those jrpgs. Star oceans, etc. That was a great month.

andy85146d ago

This isn't true. They had one in December for a week and also Black Friday in November. There will most likely be the usual January one as well.

1nsomniac146d ago (Edited 146d ago )

Last one they had was Black Friday. They didn’t have any in December. The first year they haven’t had one in December.

1nsomniac145d ago

Seems to be US by the looks of it, can’t see any mention of it in UK and certainly don’t remember seeing anything advertised on the store about it.

shadowknight203146d ago (Edited 146d ago )

Its not really mind blowing deals, more like a bait n switch for clicks news article.

Between this and n4g never working anymore, i question why I even bother some days.

Shiro173146d ago

I thought this site was not working for me only. Good to know

Good month imo. I'll play Gotham Knights and House of Ashes. I'm finishing up Disco E on Steam right now - that's a superb game.

cthulhucultist229d ago

House of Ashes was weird but one of the good weird ones! Really enjoyed it
