Well shit happen sometimes , well the thread is too quite and no master race members in this thread, so i guess that's that.

90% on Metacritic so far, and so many praises about the Game and the technical achievement !

10/10 from Polygon.

ARKHAM KNIGHT IS BATMAN PERFECTED

Rocksteady has said this is its last Batman game, and I'm praying to the New Gods that they're on the level. After Arkham Knight, trying to find more meat on the Batman bone would define futility. After Arkham Knight, Batman has been perfected — and the end result is the best game of this console generation.''

Is the Xbox One version just completely MIA here. It feels like DF makes the tech analysis a PS4 vs PC conversation.
It feels like Xbox One is left out.

At the end of the article they said that didn't received the review copy of Xbone so they needed to buy a retail to make the tests and for that they are late with this version.

Actually, I remember reading a report in 2013 saying that ARM was considered for this gen, but the performance per clock is too low to compete with x86. This was the reason why any Nvidia APU was discarted, because they would have to be ARM. Intel was discarted because they couldn't provide an APU with a strong GPU. Both Sony and MS wanted an APU because it is more economic. AMD was the only company that could provide a strong enough CPU with a powerful GPU in one single chip.

If ARM SoCs reach performances more comparable to x86 ones, it's completely possible that next gen could use one of them. It's just a matter of what's the best option when they start researching solutions.

I think metacritic should be unified, using the average between the corresponding averages for each platform as criteria. That would create a situation where a bad port/version would impact significantly the score of a game.

On one hand this could force devs to work to optimise on every platform. On the other hand I don't feel like the ps4 version of the game should be marked down just because of the terrible job they done with the PC port.

3rd Party games this Gen = Tight on PS4 & Junk on X1.
Par for the Course. What's the problem?

Oh no! Batman Arkham Knight major bomb, has dropped to 89 metacritic.

There are pros and cons to that, especially where technical issues on one platform that are not present on any other is droping the scores. However on balance I agree, one reviewscore across all platforms. And if one platform is notably worse than the others then the drop in metascore is deserved and may slightly incentivise putting out decent versions on all platforms.
