While Rocksteady Studios has not locked down a final resolution or frame rate for 2015's Batman: Arkham Knight--the "ultimate Batman simulator"--the developer now says it's aiming for graphical parity across all platforms. The reveal came as part of a recent livestream when Rocksteady Studios was asked specifically about the resolution and frame rate for PlayStation 4 version of the game.

"We don't know yet," a Rocksteady developer said. "We're about six months away from going gold. So we don't know what the resolution and the frame rate's going to be yet. That's something that happens during the optimization phase of the game. We're aiming for parity across all platforms. Whatever it is, it's going to be awesome."

I'm out of this thread before it even starts.(but i hope they take the time to make the game look good or at least run at a locked frame rate)

[Canis lupus]

GTFO

Boycott if true (boycott meaning buying used copy or lend it from a friend).

 

[GavinUK86]

 

[Mozz-eyes]

480p, 5fps. Can't wait.

 

[dofry]

Hope the framerate is rocksteady.

 

[Unknown One]

Parity is not awesome, game looks good though.

 

[soxinthebox]

Everyone wins!

 

[ViewtifulJC]

GTX 970, your time is now

 

[ShizWhiz]

My optimism is telling me that means they're hoping to bring the graphical fidelity to the highest possible standard across all platforms.

But my cynicism is telling me that they'll just match the lowest denominator.

 

[Skyzard]

Consoles are holding each other back now.

And there's no way this will be 60fps unless it's majorly downgraded.
PC version better be a generation ahead.

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

I find it surprising that facing the obvious backlash Ubisoft faced that a company would actually be willing to utter the word parity

 

[Revolutionary]

PC version it is.

 

[Trust me. I'm a PhD]

Don't use that word... nothing good ever comes from it...

 

[FuKuy]

As long as they don't lock resolution and framerate on PC I'm ok.

 

[Spineker]

Get used to this.

 

[Gamezone]

So Arkham Knight Xbox One bundle confirmed?

 

[Can Crusher]

"Parity across all platforms". So PC too?

These devs think they funny.

 

[Unknown One]

GTX 970, your time is now

Pshh parity, my 760 better perform the same.

 

[Kikarian]

Round 2

 

[codhand]

GTX 970, your time is now

basically.

 

[RandyBobandy]

Is it normal to not know what resolution or framerate your game is going to be when it's only 6 months away from gold?

 

[shiftplusone]

Fuck console parity but implying that you're hamstringing PC versions as well is some next level bullshit

 

[blue_phazon]

Good. Makes me feel better about getting an Xbox One this holiday

 

[Stone Ocean]

Don't use that word... nothing good ever comes from it...

Yep. PR departments need to fucking ban that word.

 

[The Last One]

900p

Spoiler

arity

 

[RulkezX]

Has this been delayed again?

Edit - June, oh well.

 

[sam777]

So Arkham Knight Xbox One bundle confirmed?

Nope, I am pretty sure they have a partenership with Sony and have done for the past games in the series.

 

[mp1990]

Well,if the game looks like the E3 gameplay,i am ok with this.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

I'm out of this thread before it even starts.(but i hope they take the time to make the game look good or at least run at a locked frame rate)

Perfect first post. Hopefully they mean this in terms of graphical effects or overall "look", and not in resolution.

 

[Eggbok]

Sony is marketing this game right? Cus if so that parity better mean they are going to juice up that XB1 version.

 

[Jacob4815]

900p confirmed.

 

[Unstable]

This is expected at this point, but still disappointing.

 

[thuway]

Good. Makes me feel better about getting an Xbox One this holiday

I don't understand this line of reasoning. Wanting a more powerfl platform to be crippled or have a lesser version that you'll never play - makes you feel good?

 

[Shig]

They better damn well mean they're aiming to bring the Xone version to the level of the PS4 one, not the PS4 one down.

Sigh, it's so fucked that the second possibility is even a realistic concern. This industry sometimes, man.

 

[Gouty]

I don't understand why developers are so fucking tone def on this issue. Also, WHY?!

 

[theDeeDubs]

Really curious if this will start to become the norm. Cheaper maybe? Anyway, I just want a solid framerate. I still haven't played the last Batman so I'm ready for another.

 

[erawsd]

So Arkham Knight Xbox One bundle confirmed?

Their comarketing deal is with Sony

 

[RulkezX]

Well,if the game looks like the E3 gameplay,i am ok with this.

That was Pc footage.

 

[Amir0x]

If it really does "aim for parity", that's another game off my list. No skin off my back devs. Keep diggin'.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Why was there no parity last gen?

 

[Haxxona]

Sign me out of this thread NOW because this will be a meltdown!
My honest opinion is that its fine by me

 

[3rdamention]

900p confirmed.

Dynamic 900p resolution confirmed. That is seemingly going to be the sweet spot moving forward.

 

[Markitron]

Nope, I am pretty sure they have a partenership with Sony and have done for the past games in the series.

Yea they showed it on-stage at E3. Considering how demanding this game will probably be, I can't see it being the same on both platforms

 

[Aostia]

My optimism is telling me that means they're hoping to bring the graphical fidelity to the highest possible standard across all platforms.

But my cynicism is telling me that they'll just match the lowest denominator.

same here

 

[Mass Effect]

Meh, will be playing it on PC. AC was a great PC port (GFWL notwithstanding).

 

[idonteven]

why why why

 

[Flintty]

I'm out of this thread before it even starts.(but i hope they take the time to make the game look good or at least run at a locked frame rate)

Winner. /thread.

The game will be awesome. Parity backlash, not so.

 

[PerezDeCorcho]

Not this shit again...
