Batman: Return to Arkham: Xbox One X’s Most Disappointing Upgrade?

by admin



The Batman Arkham franchise is perhaps the least best served on the enhanced consoles – no Arkham Knight upgrade, and a poor PS4 Pro implementation for the Return to Arkham remasters. Now those remasters have hit Xbox One X – and we’re still no closer to a 4K Arkham experience.

John, respecting devs for doing their job is like respecting the postman for delivering my letters, I do not dole my respect out so easy, they got my money, that's enough.

@Deadpool109 June 20, 2024 - 2:41 am

I would like to see them revisit this now on series x if it does more because I just popped the disc in and I feel like it’s even better.

@jeremygrimsley7154 June 20, 2024 - 2:41 am

I think it looks great! I hate to say it, but y'all are spoiled 😂

@THaB4DGuY June 20, 2024 - 2:41 am

yea just downloaded it to finally play it on series x since i never had xbox 1 x, and i bought it on xbox 1 but never played it that gen, only time i playe ditw as back when it was new on ps3, but it plays bad, feels like 20 fps even on series x
sad it cant play a ps3/x360 era game smoothly

Estos son los mismos que dicen que ff 16 es maravilloso técnicamente 😂

This game looks like ABSOLUTE ASS on series X on a 4k tv. It is aliased to all hell and looks like pixilated GARBAGE.

@ASHSRV June 20, 2024 - 2:41 am

Was any of this patched? I want to play all three and origins in the highest quality possible on ps5.

@TheJoaovicente June 20, 2024 - 2:41 am

As always, console gamers get screwed by lazy devs who don't care about preserving the games

@MrDaniyil June 20, 2024 - 2:41 am

City is, unfortunately, broken on Series X.

@ottokern1001 June 20, 2024 - 2:41 am

Looking back at things in 2022 the 45 fps cap was very much intentional. The patch was so advanced it already took vrr displays into consideration)

@DarklordX251 June 20, 2024 - 2:41 am

Can someone tell me how does this runs on xbox series s ?

@Eggzboii June 20, 2024 - 2:41 am

When I lowered my brightness to 0 I got better frame rate

@temporallobe June 20, 2024 - 2:41 am

I've been playing on Xbox One X, aiming to 100% both games. I don’t remember if this was the same case in Arkham Asylum, but in Arkham City, playing the challenges maps, the frame rate goes up to 60. I haven’t played the more difficult maps, were more enemies are on screen, but so far I think it has been a locked 60. I'd assume that in this mode the CPU has less things to do, so it has enough cycles to process the frames for a 60 fps target.
Not sure if this also happens on base Xbox One or PS4.

@bmdshred77 June 20, 2024 - 2:41 am

Can’t believe this series is still not 60 fps and enhanced. For free by the way. We’ve all bought these games multiple times and still not good enough

@SuperHns June 20, 2024 - 2:41 am

I bought this and Arkham knight on PS4 today for only 10 bucks, Great stuff I will play through all 3 of them again!

@oharv1 June 20, 2024 - 2:41 am

I have a ps5 and series x should I play it on ps5 or series x

@samuelmunoz1464 June 20, 2024 - 2:41 am

Well I haven't played these games since the 360 and I just bought this for $5 so I'm happy.

@tyleradams4145 June 20, 2024 - 2:41 am

I don't really care for the Xbox one x I care about PS4 pro

@tinyentropy June 20, 2024 - 2:41 am

The FPS is still extremely un-smooth even on Xbox Series X. I doubt its even 30 Hz from the playing experience.

@xb9dx598 June 20, 2024 - 2:41 am

I care about HDR and 60hz

@cybernesis0750 June 20, 2024 - 2:41 am

Arkham Asylum runs acceptably smooth on VRR TV. Actually, if you have 120Hz TV with VRR support, xbox can double the frame-rate, wich gives you about 90fps. Still fluctuates around 88-91fps, but frames are synchronized and frame-time is perfectly stable.
Checked on series X. Feels almoust like natively 60fps game.

@frogboyx1Gaming June 20, 2024 - 2:41 am

It looks like Arkham Knight is running 60fps on xbox series x

@romainscheffmann9291 June 20, 2024 - 2:41 am

It's 4k/60 FPS now

@destroyermcw626 June 20, 2024 - 2:41 am

Arkham city is 30 FPS Story and 60 FPS Riddlers revenge which is similar to Arkham Asylum’s Style of 45 FPS story but 60 FPS challenge mode

@destroyermcw626 June 20, 2024 - 2:41 am

And you forgot to mention Arkham city in Riddler,s Revenge is 60 FPS

@whatimelol3537 June 20, 2024 - 2:41 am

Bruh I play this on series s and it crashes every time I try to go to my destination
