It'll work, probably won't look much better than on 360/PS3 generation consoles, except that the framerate will be an unflinching 30 fps, plus the usual improved texture filtering on BC stuff.

The PC version would be highly preferable if possible, as with all the Arkham games except Knight.

drat, I just looked and sure enough I already had it on Steam just never played it. Since my computer is getting really old at this point I never think to game on it. I started it long ago on Wii U but that is stored away. Oh well, I bought a used 360 copy for $9.99. Maybe it will be a collectors item someday.

controller light brightness toggle… Xbox stays winning

that's not nature's way
I know a few other folks picked up Eneloop batteries for their controllers, so checking in here. I picked up this charger/4-battery set. The feature list notes it has an automatic shut-off, but: Is it okay to leave the charger plugged in with batteries in the cradle? Or will that turbofuck the batteries? I think ideally I'd love to just leave it plugged in and have two batteries in there at all times, switching them out as the controller goes through 'em. Is that feasible, or should I be storing them differently?

I just leave my charger thing plugged in until I noticed the charging full light turn on then I unplug it and store the batteries in my battery holder Thang

What I'm really looking forward to is an eventual Steam release of Ratchet and Clank where it turns out the thing works just fine on a SATA SSD

Yes! Some of the night mode settings are more limited like there's no blue light filter, but the LED customization is in there. I too only have a One X.

While you might have to go a bit higher for a drive that's technically compliant, you'll still pay less than the Xbox version's price and get twice the transfer speed, and there's also the weirdness that by and large PS5 versions of games have a smaller install footprint than their Xbox Series X counterparts, so the storage actually goes further.

Speaking of storage, why is the Destiny 2 install on Series X and One S the same size? I’m gonna move my One S to a different room so I decided to put D2 on it and presumed the install would be smaller as it’s using the One code and doesn’t have 4K textures but they were both 80-something GB. I thought that was strange. D2 is marked as a Series app as well so I presumed they’d be different

yeah but what would you even install on a ps5? With an Xbox and Gamepass there's no shortage of entertainment. Its more like BrowseTheStoreStation.
