Rumour: Developer Resume Suggests Gotham Knights May Be Heading To 'Switch 2'

But why would you bother?

I mean, it's not a bad game, but it's also not one held in very high esteem, with a publishing house (Warner Bros) that's looked upon even worse.

I'm not sure why Warner Bros chose to port this over, but oh well. I guess someone will buy it.

If patching games for Switch 2 is a thing, I really hope Arkham Knight gets one else the new console is able to brute force it with additional performance available - thats if Nintendo dont throttle it to Switch performance/clock speeds for emulation in which case

Considering how Warner's previous Batman titles performed on Switch this will likely be a disaster.

Ew, no thanks.
At least it's not the Suicide Squad game though

I don't see why, but I also don't see why not

@user0 You kidding right? Gotham Knights was the highest selling game of all time. Reaching 1 googolplexian sells total. Not only that, it received perfect scores all across the world. Critics and fans agree Gotham Knights is the game of all time.

It would be crazy not to release the gamest game of all time on Switch 2.

I've never played it but like the Arkham games.
Is it similar?

Not sure why this game gets so much hate, I had a lot of fun with it. Would be great to see this running on the Switch 2.

Its not the most amazing modern Batman game, far from it, but I definitely take GK over the Suicide Squad game any time.

The biggest positive here might be that the game is pretty demanding and would hint that Switch 2 could be very capable indeed.

However, the big caveat is that Warner might just want to be in on the ground floor on Switch and will chuck out any old rubbish just to make some extra cash on this flop...

@tourjeff Yep, just remove the interesting story, characters, the downgrade in graphics, downgrade in combat, add tons of loot with nothing of value but stat changes, repetitive gameplay, horrible optimization; And you got yourself a very expensive joke.

Man, I adored the original Arkham Trilogy but I just couldn't get on with this, not quite sure what it was but I think the repetitiveness of it really burnt me out quite quickly

Thanks, I hate it.

If Switch 2 really is just ticking the box of essentially being a Switch Pro, then Nintendo will be relying heavily on software to convince people to upgrade.

This game will help push the needle a little bit, but honestly, we need to see a whole lot more.

@Rob3008 Title! Asylum and City perform exactly as they should.

@user0 Because unlike Suicide Squad, this one made money

One of the best things about Doctre's videos is the silly intro music.

What it do bruh?
Talk of the town
Nintendo, Doctre
still holding it down

Have a seat

Oh...but that game sucks ass?

@Medic_alert I'm going to guess the latter, considering the HL port happened.

That's interesting. I would like a sequel. The first game wasn't as good as the Arkham games and I was disappointed we didn't get more villains but I loved playing as Batgirl along with Nightwing, Red Hood and Robin and it was good to play another DC game similar to the Arkham games again. I think if they were to fix some things from the first game like the Combat mechanics, adding more inside areas to explore, adding more villains across Gotham including more big villains from the Bat-Verse and gangs like the Arkham games had so the city doesn't feel empty and adding more Bat Family members like The Spoiler, Orphan, Azrael, Batwoman, Bluebird and Batwing it could be a much better game.

Hopefully we are getting close to a release date for the new Wonder Woman game being made by Monolith Productions. I have been waiting ages for a Wonder Woman video game and if it like the Arkham games and has a lot of Wonder Woman villains like Medusa, Circe, Silver Swan, Cheetah, Giganta, Doctor Poison, Hypnota, Blue Snowman, Zara, Dark Angel etc and the Wonder Girls (Donna Troy and Cassie Sandsmark) as playable characters it could be awesome.

@LadyCharlie That's why I would give the creators a second chance if they were to make a sequel 'cause I don't think it was a horrible game by any means and while I was disappointed in quite a few aspects I believe they could improve on them and make a better sequel.

@Buizel I liked the game to an extent too. My biggest problems with it were the combat mechanics especially not being able to block villains in fights like you could in the Arkham games and lack of Bat Gadgets, lack of inside areas to explore, lack of villains to fight in Gotham and lack of boss battles with more big villains from the Bat-Verse. I am one of the few who really liked Arkham Origins (which the creators of this game made) and I would love to see Arkham Origins get re-released on the new consoles with modern graphics like they did with the other games in the Arkham series but a lot of the things I liked in Arkham Origins were missing in this game for me like great boss battles and fun inside areas to explore like the Gotham City Royal Hotel.

Apart from that though I had a good time playing it and loved being able to play as Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood and Robin. If they ever make a sequel I would be sure to give it a chance and would love more Bat Family members like The Spoiler, Orphan, Azrael, Batwoman, Bluebird and Batwing as unlockable playable characters. 😀

As a big DC fan, I was not exactly happy with this game. Live service was just a terrible choice. Great concept though

@Buizel Because people like to parrot. As a fan of the Arkham games, I can say that it's a good game that had a lot of potential to be even better because it was clearly designed to grow in content. They simply abandoned it because they saw people's negative reaction because "live service bad" and YouTubers had a trend of crapping on it. At least I had fun playing with some people online. It was awesome to work together and personalize your character more.

Even now, just look at the comments section with people asking "why?" as if no one else could be interested because they aren't and as if there's no possiblity of more sales. Many of them didn't even play the game that they assure "sucks".

Got hope Middle-earth: Shadow of War get Port

@The_Blue_Mage Live service wasn't a terrible choice, it's just something that has a stigma to it. People aren't even aware that the stuff that makes them praise something like Warframe so much (constant new story content, weapons and Warframes) happens just because it's a live service game. It's true that sometimes it's handled badly and that Warner can be quite greedy, but the truth is that it had potential to be the biggest Arkham game to date and people simply killed it with the reception before it even had a proper chance. After that, there was no way that they would stick with the game and it was a shame.

@ozwally
I'm hoping we can choose optimization in the settings so we can run "Docked" speeds in handheld (if it doesn't cause the system to catch fire). I can deal with a 1.5 to 2 hour battery-life of it ups performance.

@WhiteTrashGuy is like an option like that too but Nintendo being Nintendo I’d be surprised if they made such an option available to us but very happy to be proven wrong

@Orpheus79V I have enjoyed Doctre’s video for years. Always entertaining. In my mind, that intro is legendary! And also features Kyle Bosman!

At least its a bit better than that other DC game that came out last year

So Gotham Knights will be on the Switch 2 before Arkham Origins? Interesting.

I like Gotham Knights myself, so I can't complain. I still wish to see Arkham Origins on the Switch in the future though.
