Delayed but the good news hidden away here at the end is the 1080P remasters for Arkham Asylum & City which will most definately turn up on PC as well

Aren't PC already 1080p?

I'm not too bothered about the delay, gives me more time for The Witcher 3

Yep & way higher I play mine @ 2560x1080 nowadays looks great but you have to assume it will be ported over to the newer modded Unreal Engine 3.9 Rocksteady are working with for Arkham Knight which has nextgen gfx if they are remastering no point just upping the res for these is there

Looks like no physical release on PC. The cynic in me thinks this is so they can increase the Steam price & also control regional pricing easily as no world wide physical release to undercut some markets.

WB confirmed now that UK only is not getting the physical release.

I guess so they can jack up digital prices & control regional locks pricing wise :eek:

JulioH · 8 Apr 2015 at 10:23

I got it for £25 from GMG. I'm happy with that.

AWPC · 8 Apr 2015 at 11:45

Another sign this is being used as a test case is US is getting a physical release on PC when hardly no major PC games are physical anymore & UK PC orders via amazon uk made up until 30/03/15 are still being distributed by WB they are only pressing enough for those pre-orders (must be a lot).

No word on whats happening to the Game exclusive Robin DLC either yet right now they have the digital steam key for £27.99 vs £34.99 on Steam for the same product!

A friend of mine is wondering if he should get this for his laptop or fork out for a PS4, he would prefer the former as it will be a lot cheaper but I'm worried about his GPU. The laptop is no slouch; I7 2670QM, 8GB of RAM and a Geforce 540M. Obvious he won't be running at 1080p on high/ultra settings but is it even worth it?

Lets hope it's optimized!

AWPC · 23 Apr 2015 at 19:47

55GB the true reason why no UK DVD release unless you pre-ordered on amazon by 30th March :rolleyes:

This is using Unreal Engine 3 as well hope its well optimised on PC!
