So some people are telling me that theres still a bug going on with Riddler when you drop him off at the GCPD. Basically, it causes the game to crash, and you lose some of your save data. Hopefully, they will fix this soon. Still pretty disappointing that they couldn't fix all of the bugs, especially with how massive the update was.
@@gamesjernst6563I've played arkham knight 1.0.2 version on switch and finished every single mission and side missions except for riddler and knightfall protocol 4 times. This is actually an impressive update if you asked me. Things I've noticed so far compared to the launch version 1.0.2. 1.Slightly Better textures both the environment and npc's.(sharper and not as blurry as before , some of the muddy visuals have been improved, texture draw distance is also improved) 2. Better lighting. 3. Slightly improved performance. 4. A little Smoother batmobile experience.(less stutters, i can actually drive now without crushing to every corner) 5. They fixed the minigame where you find scarecrows location with remote batarang. 6. Scarecrows video texture when talking to arkham knight on the chopper is also fixed. 7. You can actually read some text now like the newspapers and high voltage signs(but not all). 8.invisible walls blocking the riddler trophies are also fixed. 9. Batsignal is not a super lowres pixilated image anymore. 10. Projections actually worked now(riddlers, militia) 11. They also changed the Ui for the maps and also added images on the mission selection. 12. Gliding is also smoother and doesnt jerk back anymore . 13. They added a 1 to 2 second pause/ loading icon when your going really fast with the batmobile especially when using afterburner for long to help render the next area a little better. 14. You can now grapple on the fence that can get you softlocked before. 15 .Fear takedowns are not as blurry as before. 16. Lucius fox outfit is now fixed 17. Batman eyes now turned green when he's losing control. His eyes also lit up when talking to someone through his gauntlet now. 18.Jokers hair texture is fixed 19. Poison Ivy's clothes no longer float in the air after dying. 20. Gordons hand are now fixed when entering the clock tower(before it was acting really weird 21. the stutter/lag when first entering stagg airship is now fixed 22. the slight lag during the cutscene when barbara gordon makes appearance when gordon shoots you is smoother 23. Before, when jokers jumpscares you when gliding on tall buildings there is a bug where you fall off a little bit and hang on the ledge. Thas been fixed. 24. Game doesnt crash anymore on this version, unlike before where my game crashed for atleast 10 times during my whole gameplay( delivering riddler to gcpd excluded as its still broken) I just restarted the game to look for things that they've improved. So there are more things to add from this list. So far i can tell that this is a huge update for the switch.
Supposedly, it has to do with the fact that Origins was developed by a different team within Rocksteady so they'd need their permission and pay them for rereleasing it.
It’s as simple as they don’t see a profit in it. The last time they ported Origins to a Nintendo platform, they outright abandoned it and refunded everyone who had purchased the Season Pass. As far as I remember, there was never any reason given as to why they abandoned the game and refunded everyone. They just did it. And given how poorly received Origins was amongst the community, and how much hate it still gets today (not as much as it used to, but I see still plenty of hate), it’s no wonder they don’t do anything with it. They’d have to pay a company to port it. They might need to make new contracts and agreements on the licensed stuff like music, which costs money. They’d have to pay Nintendo a share of the profits on digital sales. WB likely just doesn’t see it being worth the money and effort after how original launch played out. It’s a real shame as I would love Origins be Remastered. But it’s not gonna happen any time soon if ever. Also, even after 11 whole years, you still can’t purchase Origins on the Xbox Store. If they can’t be bothered to make the game purchasable on a digital store front, can we really expect them to be bothered to make a whole new version of the game?
Weird things happened when I finished updating, for some reason when I loaded up the game I lost 8% of my progress. Implying I had to redo like four different missions. Well at least they fix the knightfall protocol.
I completed the scarecrow section right now and tbh this was alot more enjoyable than i thought it would be , considering i had the ps4 version ten yrs ago and didnt complete any section on it so id say i got my moneys worth with this trilogy, i didnt mind the graphics since i had alot more fun than todays new games being made :]
Oh man... the difference is... Knight and Day! haha, good, now I will enjoy my playthrough a lot more - it was the stutter back and forth when gliding that annoyed me the most.
Before, I felt like I was walking in a cardboard world where I was afraid of the game crashing from driving too fast or gliding too far. Now I can finally let loose!
Floor textures also pop out more and there's better dynamic lighting against them. I also noticed that my most recent save is actually there so I no longer have to use my backup save anymore. I also noticed that indoor assets look less blobby too. I recently restarted a campaign and noticed a huuuge difference. You can actually see the floor tiles and table textures, along with better skin detail. It's still not as good as ps4's AK but it's a lot closer than before.
The bat symbol marker in the sky was pixelated, now fixed. Poison Ivy's vines around her body are sharper, enemy and servicemen uniform render better except for badges and patches. Gotham city looks wayyy better with less mega pop ins. More rooftop textures were fixed up (some still blurry). Only Gordon's facial texture didnt benefit (all npc faces caused me nightmares before this update).
It's as if they did their best and it was close to working acceptably if it weren't for the Switch's massive weakness. I wish Nintendo had made it a little stronger. I mean, by manufacturing it for $251 and selling it for $299, there was room for development.
It didn't patch really more than some bugs, nothing really noticable to be honest, I've can't explain where the 16 gig came from but it's definitely almost the same game as before, I hope it's not the last patch, for me, I've they get the performance patched so at least we get about 20-25 fps locked in, im good with it, but for now it's not worth the money only for die hard fans who only have a switch, it's ok. Still: kudos to the team for the effort, they do a amazing job with the port, keeping in mind, it's not a triple A studio and also not familiar with ports like these
Arkham knight still isn’t beatable. after bringing riddler to the gcpd after waiting 12 MONTHS to get my 2 trophies it black screens either after you take him out of the batcar or after you talk to cash it’s stupid.
So basically, the patch is 17GB, but the game basically re-installs itself on top of the 26GB file as is and then unintalls the older build of the game, bringing it to 27GB. Because during t the download it made the file for me like 44GB.
This game should have never came to Switch in my opinion. The game is simply not build for it and struggles to even keep a stable frame rate. The other Arkham games I could of seen coming because they have very simple gameplay and is a linear experince. But this is just unacceptable, I don't care what anyone says. Nintendo need to stop releasing bad ports of highly intensive games if thry know it's going to perform bad. They need to release the Switch 2 soon.
On Oled ive not had as many issues A few yes But overall i mean considering how graphically demanding the ps4 one looks.. theres gonna be downgrades for switch
I have Riddler captive, but I can't get the cutscene with him being locked in the cell. All I get now is a black screen with Pyg singing in the background.
So unrelated question kind of but does anyone know if the 3000 suit is still an exclusive or can it be unlocked for the switch? I ask cuz I have the Adam West suit on my switch and that was once an exclusive and now I've 120% completed the game and did the real knightfall protocol ending and still no 3000 suit. Is there something I'm missing or is this 1 suit unavailable for switch users?
I'll check when I get off of work, but I'm thinking it's still exclusives on PlayStation. Even though I know for a fact, the scarecrow missions are in it.
I appreciate it, seen on a reddit post that all skins are available but no mention on how to obtain it. Hopefully it's true and this person knows how. If not just gonna have to accept the fact that my showcase will forever read 149/150
The improved texture quality is great. It's just lighting, and certain changes to models look bad. They changed Batmans face in Return to Arkham Asylum, and it just looks goofy. The rain effect is definitely one of the biggest improvements, tho.
Its kind of a blink and you'll miss it moment, but if you look closely at the video that is Arkham Knight running on Switch. Now, I even said this in the video, the game isn't perfect, but its absolutely more than playable. Never said it was perfect, but the improvements they've been able to make are massive changes.

can you make a test chasing firefly? i'd like to see the performance
is it true there's a new loading screen when the game stutters?
@killshotz6063 not so much a screen, more so a little logo in the corner showing that its loading in the world.
@@killshotz6063I can definitely check when I get home.

I don't understand why they didn't just bother porting Arkham Origins instead of Knight. It wouldn't have been as difficult and wouldn't look as bad.
Agreed. They won't port Origins to modern platforms in general for whatever reason.
Supposedly, it has to do with the fact that Origins was developed by a different team within Rocksteady so they'd need their permission and pay them for rereleasing it.
From what I heard it’s something like a music rights issue

Because they don’t care

No, hold r bumper for a few seconds. Your save will reappear. Happened to me too.

The pixelation of the bat signal was always the craziest thing to me.

Why did the devs release a poorly optimized game? Are they stupid?
....you saw how things went when MK1 came out on Switch and how SSKTJL is still a hot garbage fire. The answer is YES.
No. Is the hardware that is trash.
Why are the replies to the comment serious? Are they stupid?
Hey bud, this isn't the first time Arkham is on a Nintendo Platform. Arkham City Armored edition was released on Wii U in 2012.
It's as if they did their best and it was close to working acceptably if it weren't for the Switch's massive weakness. I wish Nintendo had made it a little stronger. I mean, by manufacturing it for $251 and selling it for $299, there was room for development.
100% but next gen is on the horizon for Nintendo, and I think their going to beef up the specs a ton.

I cant lie ..... I had an absolute BLAST playing this piece of shit port. A BLAST!
.... Except for the Cobra tanks ...those gave me anxiety.
They fixed the audio for the thugs. Although, for some reason, when scarecrow talks on the big speakers, the audio still isn’t synced in.
Arkham knight still isn’t beatable. after bringing riddler to the gcpd after waiting 12 MONTHS to get my 2 trophies it black screens either after you take him out of the batcar or after you talk to cash it’s stupid.
I just downloaded the update & now Arkham Knight takes up 27gb, why is everyone saying it's 16-17gb for the patch?!

@@gamesjernst6563 Oh, ok. That's a strange way to go about it huh? I don't think I've ever had a game do that before.

Did they fix the saving bug? The one where you lose your progress?
I've had that occur with me too, looks like the saving bug is still here even after the patch.
Thanks for the info. Well, i guess I will redownload the game when(if) 1.04 patch comes out...@@gamesjernst6563
On Oled ive not had as many issues
A few yes
But overall i mean considering how graphically demanding the ps4 one looks.. theres gonna be downgrades for switch
on the OLED does the batmobile driving smooth?
@@officalbananay yes tbh. There is a little lag when doing riddler races as its constant boost but otherwise. Its fine
it still runs like shit. should've done my research before buying, new to the switch life and apparently nintendo does not do refunds.. jeeeeej

I prefer the return the Arkham batman games. And I also love the rain effects on the batman return to Arkham' arkham asylum
The improved texture quality is great. It's just lighting, and certain changes to models look bad. They changed Batmans face in Return to Arkham Asylum, and it just looks goofy. The rain effect is definitely one of the biggest improvements, tho.
how are you happy with this💀
More so having a sperg because I think it's cool it can be improved at all.
can you even play it on switch? This is just
idiotic this game doesn't even run steady 30fps and it stutters its just
train wreck of a port
Its kind of a blink and you'll miss it moment, but if you look closely at the video that is Arkham Knight running on Switch. Now, I even said this in the video, the game isn't perfect, but its absolutely more than playable. Never said it was perfect, but the improvements they've been able to make are massive changes.
its not playable😭🙏@@gamesjernst6563
I think its still unplayable even steady 24fps would be more playable
lol...making excuses for a shit port on a weak system.
