If your little bat-heart was crushed by last week’s news that Batman: Arkham City’s PC launch has been pushed back to November<\/a>, you might find some comfort in knowing that the wait will be totally worth it.<\/p>\n

That’s according to developer Rocksteady, although I’d guess that they kind of have to say something like this, because saying ‘it won’t be worth the wait’ wouldn’t really work.<\/p>\n

Anyway, it turns out the PC release has been delayed so that the developers can make the game even better.<\/p>\n

“If you do have a super powerful high-end PC, you are going to see higher detail textures,” game director Sefton Hill told Eurogamer<\/a>. “You are going to see a more richly realised world. But having said that, given there are so many console gamers in there, we’re always fine-tuning to get the game to run super smooth on Xbox and PS3. The console versions look great as well.”<\/p>\n

“All of the source textures and assets are done at a very, very high res and we make them work on all the different SKUs. People will really love the PC version when it comes out.”<\/p>\n

“The wait will definitely be worth it. The PC version has just been pushed back, but it’s only by a couple of weeks, so hopefully no-one will be too upset about it. We’re working as hard as we can to get it out as soon as we can.”<\/p>\n

Batman: Arkham City launches on console on 21 October, and on PC on an as yet unconfirmed date in November.<\/p>\n
