Return of ‘Batman: Arkham Knight’ to PC Leads to an Interesting Response

‘Batman: Arkham Knight’ made its debut in June this year, followed by issues in running the game on the PC. While the game worked smoothly on PS4, PC and Xbox owners weren’t so lucky. Consequently, Warner Bros. Interactive withdrew the game to take care of the issues, after having already sent out review codes for PS4 debug kits.

Under Valve’s Steam refund policy, the buyer could return an imperfect item and replace it with the updated version later. Thus, customers had managed to get their money refunded for the glitched PC version of the game.

Now the company has launched the game in a revamped version, promising to have fixed all the earlier issues. Warner Bros, said in official statement:

“As many of you know, we released a major patch for Batman: Arkham Knight PC a few weeks ago. While there were significant performance improvements made to the game, the teams are continuing to work on the additional updates that were outlined in our previous post. We expect these updates to be ready at the end of October, at which time the PC version will be made available for purchase. In addition, support for all DLC that has been released for the console versions will be in place.

Thanks again for your continued patience and support. We’ll be sure to update everyone as soon as the update is live.”

However, despite efforts, Warner Bros has failed to appease its already disappointed customers. One has to take a look at the internet to know people’s sometimes indifferent, sometimes annoyed reaction to this bit of news. Gamers feel ticked at the waiting period Warner Bros put them through. Consequently, many feel that simply an updated ‘Batman: Arkham Knight’ is not enough.

Let’s see if the new version manages to deliver all that it promises.

Watch Celebrities Have a Go at Batman: Arkham Knight

A few posts back, we mentioned that Batman: Arkham Knight is one of the most awaited games of 2015. The game first released trailers back in the last months on 2014, which included the much talked-about Batmobile. The last scene of the previous instalment, Batman: Arkham City showed Batman fending off the Scarecrow, who has united Batman’s deadliest foes, namely Poison Ivy, The Penguin, the Riddler, Harley Quinn and Firefly, to kill the Bat. Yes, it almost sounds like Batman Vs The Suicide Squad.

Scarerow may be the main antigonist in the gameplay.

Rocksteady Studios decided to rebrand the ‘first look’ of the game by roping in celebrities and showed their first reactions of the game in their YouTube video. The celebrities are Neil Patrick Harris, Wiz Khalifa, Blake Anderson, Minka Kelly, Kumail Nanjiani, Breckin Meyer, Joe Manganiello, iJustine, Troy Baker and Kevin Conroy. You can watch their reaction below.

As much as we could see in the video, the game features a distinct visual appearance and a full range of high-tech onboard gadgetry. Perhaps, the highlight of the game would be, of course, the Batmobile, the most iconic vehicle in comic history. The Batmobile is designed to be fully drivable throughout the game and is capable of transforming into different modes, from high-speed pursuit mode to military grade battle mode. This vehicle sits at the core of the game and allows players to tear down the streets at unmatched speeds while in pursuit of Gotham’s most formidable villains. This iconic vehicle also expands Batman’s abilities, from navigation and forensics to combat and puzzle solving.

The game is slated to be released on 23rd June 2015. For now, the game would be available only on PlayStation 4 on pre-order. We can’t wait to get our hands on this, can you?
