GSY Live PC PS4 Xbox One

Because we wouldn't want you to miss our live stream dedicated to Batman: Arkham Knight tonight, here's another official announcement - you can find the usual announced on the top right corner of our homepage and we also talked about it in our first news article about the game early this morning. We'll be playing the PC version of the game starting from 9:30 GMT+2.

How is optimization? Metacritic and Steam user reviews are devastating.

No idea, we're all at work at the moment.

Ok, just tried during my lunch break, it is indeed quote outrageous. With my SLI of 970s, framerate drops under 23 fps when driving the Batmobile with everything maxed out. Even when just "flying" there are drops that make no sense. Stay away from the PC version, it's a joke for the moment and way worse than anything I have played that came out unpolished.

Damn... now I feel stupid for pre-ordering the Premium Edition on Steam :/
Oh well, at least I now have more time to complete the witcher 3

Damn, the PC version seems to be a real far cry from the PS4 version, and even the XBO. Guess Rocksteady forgot about PC gamers just like Ubisoft.

Oh well, I still need to finish The Witcher 3 as well, so hopefully it will be much better when I finally get to play it. Still a shame and a big middle finger to any PC gamer who is/was planning to play the game today.

For the livestream, you guys might want to use the XBO version, or tweak your PC settings for a solid 30fps or 60fps, depending on your preference.

We don't have the XB1 version anymore and the PS4 version was only sent to us by Warner today (best case scenario I'm not even sure).

If you turn off all the NVIDIA features that are just fluff anyway, you can run 60 FPS on a 980 Ti.

That being said, you still need to edit an .ini to turn off a STUPID 30 FPS lock.

I don't mind waiting till tomorrow or after for the livestream, if you guys decide you need more time to prepare it. Don't worry.

And if you guys decide to do the livestream later, it will also give you guys time to make videos of the PS4 version now that you guys have it. I'm sure a lot of people are interested in Blim's video analysis of the PS4 version.

Hope everything works well for you guys. Good luck!

Considering how crappy the PC version is, we're going to analyze it to, at 60 and 30 fps. It should be fun.

As for the PS4 version, analysis videos are planned too obviously.

Livestream will take place tonight, I don't really care that it doesn't sell the game well to players. In my opinion, it shouldn't anyway. :p

Pffft, silly NVIDIA features... it's always the same with these PC games. Everytime a NVIDIA empowered game is released it's down to 20fps, the way it's meant to be played. If they and game devs can't optimize their shitty code to a level on which those 'features' run properly on medium/high end rigs they should rather not bother at all, it's only bad publicity for both of them imo.

Hey I agree 100% on the stupid features that NVIDIA keeps pushing that makes the game barely playable. I'm just saying, with a tiny bit of .ini tweaking, this game is gorgeous and playable at 60 FPS. I am running 4K on a single 980 Ti... Here is a screenshot I just took:

Well that is what the new refund policy is for...even though pre order is entirely your fault

I didn´t listen to everything you have said after minute 30, but if you have revenue problems and struggle to keep the site alive, I would suggest adding paypal donations on your site.

I think there would be quite a few people (including myself) who would be willing to spend a few Euros to keep this site alive.
