Origins would run and look far worse. Origins is a mess of a game code wise, it's spaghetti code held together by toothpicks and gum. It'd need a full remake for it to run acceptably on any platform today.
Unfortunately, no matter how solid the port comes out and if the falls are at specific moments demanding as in previous impossible ports, that knowing the recent situation on social networks, certain media outlets and YouTubers, are going to begin to tear up the game and say that it is " unplayable" due to unjustified criticism from a handful of people who will not even plan to play the port.
It shows they went with the PC build for City, which is good and backported the WiiU stuff.
The PC build is the best build of the game
They said they would in IIRC the DF Direct where they reacted to the June Direct where it was revealed.
What about Asylum then?
In any case, I would be waiting for the tech review of the other games and the pack in general.
I don't have time to watch right now, but did you mean to say save Knight for last and play Asylum in the meantime? I assume so just wanted to be sure
Very similar port to The Witcher 3, No Man's Sky and Borderlands 3.
They could be using the PC version as well, but it really depends as they did put out "updated" builds for Arkham Asylum and Arkham City that stripped out G4WL. Could be an oversight on their part as most of the work could've been in City and Knight. It is weird, the X1 should be able to run Arkham Asylum looking better than that as well.
Yep, meant Knight for last. Trying to cook and write equals brain freeze
Looks like yes
If they do what they did to Borderlands 3 here, improving texture quality without increasing already ridiculous size of the game, that would be some great patch. This is a The Outer Worlds situation, they cut from the texture quality too much but still couldn't dropped the size to an acceptable level. Though I'm not sure about the batmobile part, as I said, all "miracle ports" on Switch suffer from this, even on Steam deck verified games like that experience frame drops.
I'm getting the full bundle but I agree that Knight does not look very desirable here at all considering the main attributes it had to differentiate from the other two superior games are the graphics and the Batmobile... both which seem to have taken a huge hit (performance for the Batmobile). The fidelity will probably not be as noticeable when playing it undocked but the frame-rate, AA and stuttering are looking messy.
Why should they wait until an unproven console while they can make millions off Switch? Mainstream does not care, they didn't care for last month's game, they didn't care for No Man's Sky, they didn't care for Fairy Tail. Framerate is not a huge issue for millions out there, like it is for us.
Arkham Asylum is listed as "unsupported." Usually that means you can't even boot the game up. There might be some finagling involved to fix that.
Here's to hoping that the extra couple months of waiting is going to come in the way of a day 1 patch for Knight... which is possible.
In terms of mechanics Origins doesn't offer much more than City, it's basically what Assassin's Creed Brotherhood was to ACII. But if you're invested in the world and characters then it's a nice prequel chapter. YMMV but I personally found young Bruce in his first years as Batman more compelling than what we got in City or Knight.
Don't go by valve's rating. They listed many fighting games as unsupported but they work flawlessly online also. For Batman, I found this video covering all if you're interested:
Can't speak on Asylum, but I can say Origins is very playable on Steam Deck. I just finished a playthrough a few days ago, and aside from one audio glitch in an early boss fight and one crash (I pressed the buttons to open and close the map at the same time and the game didn't like that), I had no issues during my 20-ish hours. Solid 60fps pretty much throughout with good battery life. Sometimes Valve's classifications are either wrong or just overly cautious.
