Rocksteady Explains Batman Arkham Knight's Delay

Without the delay, Batman Arkham Knight would have suffered in scope rather than quality, Game Director Sefton Hill explained.

Glad they wouldn't compromise. Perhaps the only weakness of the previous games was the cramped environments, open world Batman is going to be great!

Yeah. Wouldn't want them to pull a ubi and release a glitched and broken mess(Ass Creed Unity)

thekhurg4093d ago

IMO no developer should ever have to explain/justify a game delay.

hazelamy4093d ago

two exceptions to that rule i think.
Duke Nukem Forever.
and The Last Guardian.

@Hazel

Ahh your a bit TOO HUMAN for me.

;)

You forgot about that one right?

In fairness AC unity is pretty much flawless now. Just don't buy ubisoft games at launch and you're good.

A pretty big problem for me is the constant hype train for some of these games.. to me it makes alot more sense to announce something close to release. What do I care about a game that may or may not come out in 2 years? Gaming is my big hobby, I play every good title anyway. But I'd rather be surprised for once instead of carefully not watching certain articles to avoid spoilers.
That said there is only one philosophy that works for games: it's done when it's done.

The game has been open world since city. .

Alexious4093d ago

Arkham City isn't a true open world game, just like Origins. They're bigger than Asylum, yes, but they're not using a full blown open world like Watch_Dogs, GTAV or even Infamous Second Son.

Arkham Knight is supposed to be five times bigger than AC and there will be vehicles, so it should feel much more open.

ccgr4093d ago

Good to know they have their priorities straight

Mostafeto4093d ago

Yeah I am actually happy to wait an extra 8 or 9 months for a game than to have an unfinished and unpolished game released. At least Warner Bros. have some conscious not like some companies that release broken games if you know what I mean :P

Pintheshadows4092d ago

I really like Rocksteady. They seem to care about putting out not only an excellent game, but one that is polished. I can only commend for that.

My anticipation is only growing.

Aurenar4093d ago

I preferred when they said "will be released when it's ready".

They change the words but not the substance , and I prefer a delay that announces a game done right .

LavaLampGoo4093d ago

As long as it can come out unbroken, we can wait. Theres been a lot of bad blood between broken games and marketing departments recently. Nice to see Rocksteady not fall into the trap...

Festano4093d ago

I look forward to this game for some time hopefully not delay much.

Alexious4093d ago

Don't think they're going to delay it anymore, it would be a financial disaster otherwise!

I would also add Risk of Rain 2 as long as you don't stray too far from a power source as each run can be long as the hours melt away. Another thing to note is that based on the reports, the FPS may drop into the 40s if a lot of enemies are on the screen.

There is also the Half Life series. If you haven't played half-life before then you can do so now at the super low price.

cthulhucultist527d ago

Mafia was amazing looking and had a great story. Played flawlessly at 30fps as well without dips 99% of the time.

The same is true for Jedi Fallen Order

Sony games as also on sale. Picked up Rachet and Clank, cant wait to try it!
