Batman: Arkham Knight PC Sales Suspended

  Planning to buy Batman: Arkham Knight? Well, we urge you to not get the PC version of the game. A series of issues has made it to a point that publisher Warner Bros. has suspended sales of the PC version, even urging disappointed consumers to make use of the Steam Refund or retail refund.

“We want to apologize to those of you who are experiencing performance issues with Batman: Arkham Knight on PC. We take these issues very seriously and have therefore decided to suspend future game sales of the PC version while we work to address these issues to satisfy our quality standards,” a Warner Bros. representative wrote on the publisher’s forums.

What issues? It's seems to be a lot, and with each consumer having different cases based on their PC's specs. Mainly, issues can range from crashes and freezes (experienced by players that pre-loaded the game), to FPS drops in certain areas in the game, especially when gliding or using the batmobile, and these are being experienced by high end Nvidia cards such as the GTX 980, and GTX 970. AMD users isn't getting a free pass with performance either, with reports of FPS drops going below 30. Steam adjusted the minimum requirements for Arkham Knight right before launch, also warning AMD users of possible issues. Manually editing some files are said to fix the FPS issue and bring it up to the 60 range. You can read the on-going Reddit thread about Arkham Knight for PC here.

Granted, these can be fixed through a series of patches,but you might have to wait a little longer or consider a different platform until the developers get everything in check.

Have you opt for the PC version, are the reactions to this version of the game that bad?

Sony's Batman: Arkham Knight Limited Edition PS4 is Apparently "Limited"

Redundant title, we know. Since the release of the PlayStation 4, we were given a fair amount of limited edition PlayStation 4's with customized faceplate and color to make your purchase extra special. Well, it looks like the upcoming Batman game in the Arkham series will be getting the same treatment from Sony, and it looks stunning. 

I'm not into customized consoles, but I consider this as one of the best looking limited editions revealed to this day for the console. If I had to pick a color for a PlayStation console, gray is a sure winner, and to top it all off, this one has the silhouette of the bats on the faceplate. Don't agree? First have a closer look at it below.

Still don't agree? I guess it's just me. But if this is the kind of PlayStation 4 you would like to own, take note on the "limited edition" part of the title. It was announced recently that this version of the PlayStation 4 will indeed hit the Philippines but with limited quantity. No exact details on how many units are coming to our shores, so be sure to call your local gaming store to confirm if they will be getting the Batman: Arkham Knight Limited Edition PS4 and get those reservations/pre-orders going.

Arkham Knight will be the fourth game in the Batman Arkham series and will be out on June 23 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
