Gotham Knights is no longer coming to the PS4 and the Xbox One. Here's why.
Need for Speed did it, and now Gotham Knights is doing the same: Gotham Knights will not release on PS4 and Xbox One. I love it. Why? Because it's about time we start treating the new consoles like new consoles. What was the point in shelling out $500 if every game is going to be released for the old systems anyway? I'm not trying to sound snobbish, but the fact of the matter is that these old systems hold games back. So, at least with Gotham Knights, that will not be the case.
Gotham Knight Will not Release on PS4, Xbox One
The reason given by the devs was simply that the game is not coming to the older systems, to "provide players with the best possible gameplay experience." Damn right.
