Antpool84 1,109 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 So since there doesn't seem to be a new Batman game coming anytime soon i've been looking forward to Gotham Knights for a little while now, and from the look of the gameplay trailer it maintains the atmosphere and mechanics that I enjoyed so much in the Arkham games, and the fact that Red Hood, one of my favourite DC characters, is in the game helps massively lol. Although I am very surprised that they are only releasing it on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S and have scrapped the PS4/XB1 versions, especially since there is the multiplayer element. But i guess thats going to be the way now for a lot of the new games going forward. Anyone else looking forward to this?

J4MES OX4D 10,025 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 I've been craving a new game like this as I'm a huge fan of the Arkham games - they just ooze atmosphere and capture the Batman style perfectly. This one I am a bit iffy about because the developer has a pretty limited track record and wasn't the one behind the original Batman titles. This team did work on Origins and also did a Wii port for Arkham City but aside from that it's been mostly DLC and assisting other developers. They may be biting off more than they can chew with this and the publisher also doesn't have a good grasp of the gaming industry either. Will definitely keep my eye on it but anyone expecting something to the tune of Rocksteady's classics may be sorely disappointed.

I have to agree it will definitely be a different experience to the previous Arkham games (and i'm sure i have heard rumour of a new entry into the Arkham line of games 🤔) but this will satiate my need for a good superhero game until then - I may need to replay Arkham City or Knight lol J4MES OX4D, JungleHeart, GazzaGarratt and 2 others 5 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/9536-gotham-knights/#findComment-146287 Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRaMPaGe 3,233 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 It does actually look pretty good. I agree with James, those older batman games have such a murky and dark atmosphere. Totally perfect for Gotham and the style it's trying to portray. Time will tell if it's a good attempt or a forgotten failure. The video makes it look decent tho.

Riff Machine 2,105 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I'm cautiously optimistic about this one. I do hope it's good, but have a feeling it may not be all it's cracked up to be.

Yeah, the original Arkham games absolutely nail the Gotham style, hopefully this can get at least close to that. 17 hours ago, Riff Machine said: I'm cautiously optimistic about this one.

I think this will be the start of many as it happens to all consoles eventually. I even looked last night and its quite difficult to buy a new PS4 now anyway. The game itself does look great. My son absolutely LOVED these previous games and I recall playing the first one years ago and enjoyed it too, especially the puzzles in it. How many characters can you be in this one?

Yeah, the puzzles were always fun in all the previous games, although did get frustrating at times 😂😂 Yeah, you can play as Red Hood, Nightwing, Batgirl or Robin, and im sure there is a co-op option so you can have up to 4 players at once IRaMPaGe, GazzaGarratt and Riff Machine 2 1 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/9536-gotham-knights/#findComment-146373 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JungleHeart 82 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 It's my first time finding out that the people behind this game aren't the same ones as the Arkham series of games — I think I now know why you guys are apprehensive. I am now too hehe. But yeah, I'm optimistic too. Arkham Knight was pretty awesome but I hated that you needed to complete the game on hard to see the actual ending. Requiring the player to play the game again for the full story is bad enough for me, but having them play hard mode to see what an ending that's supposedly already served upfront is, I think, bad design. Don't get me wrong, if you enjoyed it, that's awesome — no issues with that of course! Just that after that it felt like there's a big gaping hole for good DC games they need to fill up so they bring back the goodness of Arkham Asylum and City. Like all of you guys, I'm hoping it's this one. I have already pre-ordered it so there's no backing out. 🤣 IRaMPaGe, J4MES OX4D, Antpool84 and 1 other 2 2 Xbox and Switch gamer.

Everyday low prices on a huge range of consoles, games and accessories. Good deal but there is no way I am taking the plunge unless I see some reviews.

J4MES OX4D 10,025 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Very bad news and pretty unacceptable really Gotham Knights Will Only Run at 30 FPS and Will Offer No Performance Mode on Consoles - IGN WWW.IGN.COM When Gotham Knights arrives on consoles on October 21, it will do so with no performance mode and it will run at... Game hasn’t wowed much in the press builds either but this news could be the icing on the cake for the game to flop spectacularly. This is an instant no buy now for me.

GazzaGarratt 11,037 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Saw SkillUp mention this on Twitter. Sounds really disappointing, more so because its just before the live launch. Sometimes games will struggle due to the base framework on how its been built but you must tell people way further ahead than a week away from launch. I would expect sales to be down on this somewhat now as you can already feel the 30 to 60 fps difference on some games we play today.

J4MES OX4D 10,025 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 More info can be found in this video - seems they were determined to cover this up right until launch but a private Discord post leaked System requirements look insanely high for 1080p on PC so I'm expecting a bad port and it defies belief there is forced ray tracing on console but no graphical options. The Arkham games were amazing at 60fps+ with incredibly fluid combat but in Gotham it looks very janky. Visually Arkham Knight is still way better looking and far more immersive. People didn't buy into next gen for this.

J4MES OX4D 10,025 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 49% from PC Gamer Gotham Knights review | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM A misguided action game that can't let go of the past. 5/10 from IGN Gotham Knights Review - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Poor combat and grueling progression drag this co-op Batman adventure down. 4/10 from Gamespot Gotham Knights Review - Knightfall - GameSpot WWW.GAMESPOT.COM Gotham Knights takes the Arkham blueprint and reimagines it as a loot-brawler, often feeling similar, but where it's different, it's worse.

Luseth 1,937 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I have a friend playing this at the moment, his thoughts on the game are that the characters are a bit rubbish in that he only uses one of them and that it's not Batman. He say's the game plays well enough but it's just not what he was expecting. So I imagine when the price drops to £15-20 it might be worth a punt.
