arkham series stands out as one of the best sound designing. my favourite gliding sound was AC's also combat sounds. then comes AO, the electric shock globes really sounds so freakin amazing. then the best of all AK. from destroying the last tank, glide sound after release of grapnel boost, and diving and gliding upwards. the sounds that cape makes it so satisfying to hear. not to mention batmobile's afterburner, eject, battle mode sounds. so fantastic. i still love arkham series.

I mean that’s just a poor design choice in between devs. But i agree it does make a difference though. The grappling animations seem pretty identical just in Knighhts it’s not as polished to not show the jarring Transition/in between motions as shown in the Arkham series. But past that you’d think folks(devs and producers)! would see a good idea and great execution and think to just repeat and replicate those results.
@dertlash Жыл бұрын
@@MrSquishy0 It's not about physical mass (both of these are just 3d shapes moving forward slowly), It's about the details. In Arkham Knight the camera dynamically moves with the subject (batman), bobbing with each step, adding emphasis to each footsteps. The animations are long, flowing, and seamless and the sound design also imparts more details that immerse you further; loud footsteps with multiple different sound effects that trigger, so each footfall sounds unique and close to what we experience in real life, also varied depending on the surface he makes contact with. Compare it to Batgirl who has a short, stiff walking animations with no variation or other visual flourishes, so you can clearly see the animation loops. The camera is fixed and doesn't emphasise anything, and the sound effects are muted and samey, you can hear the repetition. Hell even look at the pedestrian to the side, he doesn't even have shadows. Just in that one clip there's a WORLD of difference between the level of care that the Arkham Knight devs took to create an immersive, realistic world, and the Gotham Knights devs who I personally believe just did the bare minimum to meet their contractual obligations and get the game out on time. I just want to add that let's not forget that Arkham Knight had an absolutely terrible launch too. Performance issues across the board crippling the game's success that couldn't be addressed in a timely manner beacause they were dealing with their own pressures to release the game, but under rough edges you see a project filled with love and care. Nowadays, big open world games like this are formulaic as ever and created to tick boxes instead of providing an immersive experience.

One detail that puts this into perspective really well. It such a small detail but shows care in the development. Go find a wooden plank fence.

Most of the scenic destruction is very well done.

The technology was more limited but the artists were incredible. It's kind of like how the original Jurassic Park movie has such incredible CGI for the 90's. The technology was very primitive but the guys who made it were industry veterans with decades of experience, they used all that knowledge and experience and then applied it to the new CGI technology. For example the guy that oversaw the animations had never done computer animations before but he was one of the best stop motion animators in the world. As such he knew exactly how things should move realistically.

I’ll explain the mentality of Batman. He fears if he kills someone like the joker, then where does he stop? Does catwoman deserve to die because she steals? Where do you draw the line? Batman fears that if he kills, he will then keep killing every criminal. Ultimately becoming a mass murderer. And just to clarify, you understand he is psychologically messed up right? This is a grown man who dresses up as a rodent and beats people up at night.. he’s knows he’s mentally unwell so he doesn’t want to become a killer.

The difference is art direction and aesthetics. Most normal people don't see art direction or aesthetics as separate from graphical fidelity. So as not to bore people, the simplified reason of why games "don't look/feel good" nowadays is because technology has become a lot more accessible and cheap compared to before. In the past, if you wanted to make a good game, you needed at least a certain minimum level of skill, knowledge and experience JUST to make everything work at all. Technology could not compensate for mistakes or oversights, and we had to get extremely creative and smart. Nowadays, technology can do a LOT of the heavy lifting so people don't need to do insane tricks to get things working. This is good, for the most part. Saves a lot of time and man hours. The issue is that some people (and you see this a lot with inexperienced UNREAL devs), just decide to let the tech handle it without giving it a second thought. So they just throw all their assets in without proper budget or optimization. And this results in increased hardware requirements for the players. The second big issue is that there are diminishing returns to realistic graphics. Beyond a certain point of realism, it just costs too much compared to the gains.

the Chair for my animation and game design program says it best; When people want "Realistic" they mean they just don't like what your art/game looks like. I've had clients ask me to design a scene of an apartment in Los Angeles with the golden gate bridge seen from the window.... People want realism but often forget that actual realism is boring. True artists know how to look at realsim as a spectrum and know when and how to exaggerate for the sake of appeal, this is something that suits or AI will never understand.

Agree or disagree this doesnt change the fact that OVERALL it is a better end than the justice league game. edit: even the water is better in GK than SSKTJL😭

I was always impressed with how the Arkham games handled Batman's cape. How it reacts to rain or snow, the way the cloth physics gives it realistic weight, and the fact that whenever you're gliding you can see small cuts in the cape. I'm still impressed even if Arkham Knight came out 7 years ago. And then you look at Batgirl's paper towel cape.

@teddycustumz32674 ай бұрын
The major difference is one game was made with the tools that did not allow it to be rushed and still have a level of ""polish"". Due to modern engines doing all the "work" for devs, studios push more stupid deadlines which makes them rely more on the engine's own graphical "enhancements". Games like Arkham are prettier and more optimized because every single location you visit were carefully built within the limitations of the tools handed to the dev, which makes them both prettier, and more optimized. A concrete example of this is classic Fear's lighting fidelity. In short, game development has become a much more streamlined, automated system where productivity takes over product. Efficiency over efficacy. Think of it as a mass produced t-shirt compared to a finely crafted hand sown one. You'll miss out on a lot of the itty bitty quirks and details that makes the hand sown one so good, and really shows how low gaming has stooped lately.

It’s not even the visual aspect of it, when you walk as Batman, your footsteps have so much weight and the noise they make when you walk just exudes how much power he has as a character, such a cool little feature there
He's much beefier than Batgirl though, it only makes sense
I mean that’s just a poor design choice in between devs. But i agree it does make a difference though. The grappling animations seem pretty identical just in Knighhts it’s not as polished to not show the jarring Transition/in between motions as shown in the Arkham series. But past that you’d think folks(devs and producers)! would see a good idea and great execution and think to just repeat and replicate those results.
@@MrSquishy0 It's not about physical mass (both of these are just 3d shapes moving forward slowly), It's about the details. In Arkham Knight the camera dynamically moves with the subject (batman), bobbing with each step, adding emphasis to each footsteps. The animations are long, flowing, and seamless and the sound design also imparts more details that immerse you further; loud footsteps with multiple different sound effects that trigger, so each footfall sounds unique and close to what we experience in real life, also varied depending on the surface he makes contact with. Compare it to Batgirl who has a short, stiff walking animations with no variation or other visual flourishes, so you can clearly see the animation loops. The camera is fixed and doesn't emphasise anything, and the sound effects are muted and samey, you can hear the repetition. Hell even look at the pedestrian to the side, he doesn't even have shadows. Just in that one clip there's a WORLD of difference between the level of care that the Arkham Knight devs took to create an immersive, realistic world, and the Gotham Knights devs who I personally believe just did the bare minimum to meet their contractual obligations and get the game out on time. I just want to add that let's not forget that Arkham Knight had an absolutely terrible launch too. Performance issues across the board crippling the game's success that couldn't be addressed in a timely manner beacause they were dealing with their own pressures to release the game, but under rough edges you see a project filled with love and care. Nowadays, big open world games like this are formulaic as ever and created to tick boxes instead of providing an immersive experience.
We're going backwards
Agreed. The animations are much better in Arkham Knight
Friendly reminder that not only did Arkham Knight come out in 2015 like everyone else is mentioning, it was also made on the archaic Unreal Engine 3, which makes it even more astronomically impressive
@Dan Cevidanes I don't think it would do much the engine they used was heavily modified and it's about art direction more than the engine

@@abe191089 I've noticed that too.
I loved Unreal Engine 3. It was a prominent staple of the 7th generation of gaming, and so many games were powered by it. Not all of them looked good, but those that did were able to show off some really awesome environments, lighting, character designs and particle effects.
And yet it wasn't impressive at the time, it was the butt of the joke, much like AC Unity because no one had the best GPUs of their times.
it's incredible. amazing what you can accomplish with time. the technology never ceases to improve and the devs' expertise and experience really shows as movements are more fluid, grapple mechanics give more freedom, and you can even have rain and better ocean physics! down to the last details! what do you mean, "Arkham Knight came first" ?
Also Batman could angrily stab a mercenary commander's smartphone with a batarang and/or crush it in his fist. Can the Gotham Knights crew do that? I doubt it!

It's crazy how even the grappling is better in Arkham knight, you can see there is some weight to batman whenever he grapples onto something, whereas in Gotham Knights you lose all sense of momentum and just go straight to where you grappled onto
Looking at this footage of Batgirl zipping around in Gotham, it's even worse considering that Batgirl in the Arkham DLC has weight to her and is just animated so much better.

Sometimes the Batmobile spawns far away from you where you summon it and the result is hearing it roar from very far away in an echoey effect, I don't think it's intentional but that very specific and tiny moment makes Arkham Knight one of the greatest
It is intentional and its awesome. Theres nothing like hearing the batmobile howling in the distance and then you see thugs running down the street away from something, and there is the massive batmobile tank chasing after them like a movie monster, only to swerve to a halt in front of you like a loyal dog. A true masterpiece.
Also the AI of it is great, it never buged in my game
@@owenleal this comment made me want to replay the game lmao
It happens more and more lately on my old Xbox One and it just adds to the experience
It's done to avoid literally the problem we see with the new game. The car always spawn just outside of your view so its not just magically appearing in front of you when though thats exactly what is happening. The witcher 3 does the same thing with the horse, it will spawn just slightly out of view and come running up to you. Even GTA would try spawn your personal cars where ever the player wasn't looking It seems these days the devs don't care enough to do that anymore
One detail that puts this into perspective really well. It such a small detail but shows care in the development. Go find a wooden plank fence. If you use the batmobile you can hit the fence it will destroy it board by board. If you drive slow. Which is unimportant but it shows attention to detail. Most of the scenic destruction is very well done.
Batman Arkham knight: Badass Gotham Knights: *Batass*
U talking about Barbara’s cake?💀
Reminds me of what somebody said about Dead Space: the reason a 14 year old game can old up relatively well is due to art direction, appropriate visual obscurity, and effects.
Usually I would just flatout agree, but this video mostly showcase graphical fidelity and the new game still lost.
Same thing with TF2, Minecraft, Borderlands 2 and Old School Runescape. Timeless Design will always beat out fancy "New" graphical features.
Assasins Creed 1 also looks good even today for being a game of 2007-2008
The technology was more limited but the artists were incredible. It's kind of like how the original Jurassic Park movie has such incredible CGI for the 90's. The technology was very primitive but the guys who made it were industry veterans with decades of experience, they used all that knowledge and experience and then applied it to the new CGI technology. For example the guy that oversaw the animations had never done computer animations before but he was one of the best stop motion animators in the world. As such he knew exactly how things should move realistically.
Same thing with Okami and Wind Waker
Batman: “if you kill a killer, the amount of killers stays the same” Also Batman: *runs over 13 pedestrians and two police cars to permanently paralyze a tax dodger*
look all the citizens evacuated and the cops were corrupt anyways so its fine
While being a tax dodger himself.
Hey man he gave that guy the easy way out. The feds would've done way worse
Well, that's not right, if he kills two it's one down.
I’ll explain the mentality of Batman. He fears if he kills someone like the joker, then where does he stop? Does catwoman deserve to die because she steals? Where do you draw the line? Batman fears that if he kills, he will then keep killing every criminal. Ultimately becoming a mass murderer. And just to clarify, you understand he is psychologically messed up right? This is a grown man who dresses up as a rodent and beats people up at night.. he’s knows he’s mentally unwell so he doesn’t want to become a killer.
The difference is art direction and aesthetics. Most normal people don't see art direction or aesthetics as separate from graphical fidelity. So as not to bore people, the simplified reason of why games "don't look/feel good" nowadays is because technology has become a lot more accessible and cheap compared to before. In the past, if you wanted to make a good game, you needed at least a certain minimum level of skill, knowledge and experience JUST to make everything work at all. Technology could not compensate for mistakes or oversights, and we had to get extremely creative and smart. Nowadays, technology can do a LOT of the heavy lifting so people don't need to do insane tricks to get things working. This is good, for the most part. Saves a lot of time and man hours. The issue is that some people (and you see this a lot with inexperienced UNREAL devs), just decide to let the tech handle it without giving it a second thought. So they just throw all their assets in without proper budget or optimization. And this results in increased hardware requirements for the players. The second big issue is that there are diminishing returns to realistic graphics. Beyond a certain point of realism, it just costs too much compared to the gains.
You can feel that in everything. Music, art, architecture... I'm worried about that.
To be fair, you have to have a high IQ to understand art direction.
the Chair for my animation and game design program says it best; When people want "Realistic" they mean they just don't like what your art/game looks like. I've had clients ask me to design a scene of an apartment in Los Angeles with the golden gate bridge seen from the window.... People want realism but often forget that actual realism is boring. True artists know how to look at realsim as a spectrum and know when and how to exaggerate for the sake of appeal, this is something that suits or AI will never understand.
Nah, its firing white men and hiring women/black people for "diversity"
7 years to carefully figure out whats the best in the game in order to not have any of that in your new game. What a team of legends.
You could apply that to the entire AAA videogame industry as a whole. The 2000's and early 2010's saw game companies finally figure out how to make the best games they possibly could, all so they could take those lessons and avoid doing anything like that ever again.
The thing about Arkham that really impressed me the most was the point when you notice that the situation of clothing of batman from start was completely fine but after big missions its torn, tattered, bruised and messed up when you come to ending. It goes to know how much work was put in narrative building. These little things are inspiring and makes you feel the pain Batman has gone through for the whole night.
I hate when I bruise my clothes
❤❤❤❤❤❤
That is not 'narrative building' 🤦
@@Zeus.thunder it is, when it depicts the idea of hard night for batman through visual means. You can look at the state of the batsuit to understand that he has had a tough night. It doesn't go from fine to worse in a single go but rather it happens gradually overtime you do main missions.

No one's said it yet but the sound design in Arkham Knight is just impeccable as well. When you soar the sky and fold/unfold the wings, it really sounds like a bat fluttering around.

It's about damn time I replay the Batman games. Absolutely loved them. About Arkham Knight, what can I say... it still looks amazing. Feels incredible how they released such a beatiful game in 2015 (or was it 2016?)
Everyone seems to forget that Arkham Knight on release ran terrible and was buggy AF.
@@BucketBoatable I didn't play it on launch. I also was mostly referring to the graphics. I assumed even if it was buggy, the graphics were still the same as now, right? Still looks very nice. And at least the bugs were fixed
@@raresradoi39 It ran very very bad, I can't remember much more, I don't even play the batman series. But I do remember it was a big deal, I think mass refunds happened, reading the comments here feels like everyone has amnesia.
@@BucketBoatable well, as I said before, I didn't play it on launch and I'm assuming it was a big deal then. A hyped up game performing poorly on launch smells oh so much like Cyberpunk. But, at least they fixed it, now it runs very well even on my semi-potato PC. Imo that's what matters. It's a very cheap but still enjoyable game.
@@raresradoi39 Ok, good to hear it was fixed. This vid comparison looks dumb to to me. With the exception of the ugly sea ofc. Some graphics probably got simplified because of performance. Vehicles teleport because it's a coop game. GTA4 - GTA5 comparison is way better.
I'm 101% convinced Gotham Knights was supposed to be a live service game with all those amazing skins locked behind paywalls (or absolutely insane levels of grinding), but the devs backpedaled on it after seeing Avengers crash and burn. It's the only explanation why the skins look so good and there is so much customization options when everything else looks and feels so low effort.
more than likely correct
That feels correct.
You nailed it, fucking on the head. Too many games trying to join the Fortnite club. It's killing the passion in gaming, even causing communities to be more split than ever before. I'm looking at you cod, Fortnite, halo, battlefield and apex........ I have a bad feeling gears of war 6 is going to join the live service spoon fed crap, I am so sick if it as a mostly multiplayer guy I might just play campaign games or offline games at this point.
@@_e8a not sure if you have kids but I wouldn't let mine be playing arkham

What’s amazing is that in Arkham Knight, the Batmobile literally just stays where you leave it. It doesn’t despawn unless you’re across the map from it. And usually if you’re within 200 metres of it, it’ll actually drive to you when you call it, instead of just appearing
Hey postdeath did you get your reward? What was it?
@@kenkaneki810 oh yeah bro, I got a whole lotta scammed 😂
@@snwlvl634 Don't lie bro we know you got billions lol
@Vivid Lucidity lol this guy
Stop flaming the batcyle of all things. It optical camouflage thats why it just appears and disappears. If you did have to call it, it would run over people like in arkham knight where the thugs would get electrocuted
I keep coming back to this video for some reason because I keep playing Arkham Knight and it still is blowing me away. Even on my poor, dying PS4.
The Batmobile in Arkham knight is simply the pinnacle of driving in an action game. Never gets old driving that thing.
In that case rocksteady did it for the first time as well, driving in a game that is. It was surprisingly awesome.
Arkham Knight was truly something special. It still looks absolutely incredible seven years later (seven years?! The time flies). The technical aspects, the art design, the atmosphere, the weather, the effects, the animations, EVERYTHING just looks SO GOOD and is complimented by top notch, ridiculously punchy and crisp sound design. It's just so... satisfying to play or even just watch. And then you have Gotham Knights which looks like a mod for Saints Row IV.

Yet yall were clowning it when it came out
@@chaosdilk4411 it came out unplayable and broken as shit, so yeah of course we are going to clown it
@@Battlefiel97 on PC maybe, but on consoles it was smooth like butter, so that’s not really fair
👍👍👍👍👍👍
It's mind boggling how Arkham Knight still looks insanely good. It's just timeless. I bet if it was released in 2023 noone would say it's graphics are outdated
Arkham Knight's textures and atmosphere carry it hard, just like how Arkham Asylum back in 2009 looked pretty damn good despite the models being pretty lackluster. These games textures are solid as hell and the lightning is so good
Also the fact that it can run on a business laptop of 1.3 kg with 1080p settings. Like, I wonder if its the gaming companies fault to pay less compared to others and hire bad programmers nowadays. Like RDR2 has the exceptional graphics and yet it can reach 25 FPS in business laptops with NVidia MX350 (really good optimization from Rockstar). This then saddens me how games like God Of War (not talking about Ragnarok) cannot be played with 30FPS stable 1080p in business laptops, like what is the excuse?
One of the best looking arkham things are the computer generated trailers like a 10 year old arkham trailer looks better than most new trailers
Also the deadshot reveal trailer looks like a live action movie basically but its computer generated
arkham knight was 100% ahead of its time
Real talk.. I prefer this over SSKTJL. Graphically it looks better, the send off for batman wasnt a slap in the face, and it had a decent story as well as amazing traversal.. Gotham Knights had more love put into it than SSKTJL.. Agree or disagree this doesnt change the fact that OVERALL it is a better end than the justice league game. edit: even the water is better in GK than SSKTJL😭
The community does gotham knights so dirty for 0 reason 💀💀💀
@@jetstreamsam8221 It at least has more going for it than this new game, even the launch was better since the servers and shit kept crashing for ssktjl for a while
"Perhaps i treated you too harshly"
I was always impressed with how the Arkham games handled Batman's cape. How it reacts to rain or snow, the way the cloth physics gives it realistic weight, and the fact that whenever you're gliding you can see small cuts in the cape. I'm still impressed even if Arkham Knight came out 7 years ago. And then you look at Batgirl's paper towel cape.
Having more cuts in the cape as the games go on is such a neat feature that I didn't notice until I had beaten and replayed them. It's super cool to see
They worked on that cape for two years
@@omega5040 I believe it was one person too. Whoever they are I hope they have that on their LinkedIn profile
@@omega5040 it was in arkham asylum, just Googled it
They had a whole separate design team for his cape lol
What I like the most about modern games is that graphics are barely changing from title to title but system requirements only get higher
Graphics are absolutely changing. You’re just not noticing it.
@@TheAluvisify They aren't...the so called next-gen is a joke,only now we're getting games announced that look a bit advanced graphic wise but so far the games look the same as what we had in the past gen.
Yes because idiot devs are focusing on performance...which is why this gen is a joke.
@@TheAluvisify so what's the point then ?
@@TheAluvisifytell that to almost ten year old red dead redemption 2 and other games
Arkhan Knight was and is an outstanding videogame. The atmosphere is brilliant, the content is goooooood and the combat is top notch gameplay. You can see the dev's love everywhere
I never realized you could hear the weight behind Bruce’s footsteps in Arkham knight, really nice touch
As many of you that may dislike the batmobile, you have to admit that the way they developed its summon is seamlessly impeccable.
oh yeah that was totally badass, the straight driving sections were epic too. how it would just obliterate cars and send people flying. too bad 60% of the game consisted of tank fights against drones.
I think Cloaking tech and the idea that the Batcycle is always around is more badass and makes more sense when taken into account that a tween can remove your Bat-tires then a grown man should too then the Batmobile is useless but I loved how the Batmobile just comes to you lol And the Thugs checking out the Batmobile is harlious
@@cameronphares2482 especially the mission where we had to destroy all those heavy tanks with the 90mm ammo
It made you feel like you you were playing a Batman movie with how it seemingly comes out of nowhere
@@cameronphares2482 Did you know that’s actually only 28% for just the story? Still far too much, but I just wanted to be a smartass, sorry :D
I think my favorite thing about the Arkham series was that every action felt like it had weight to it. Like when you punch a bad guy all the focus went into to that punch. I find games these days really miss that mark.
Yeah especially afterwards when there’s one enemy left it zooms in on that final punch you can really feel the weight
This is so right, i think arkham games have the best hand to hand combat in all gaming
There was absolutely no weight during that Black joker biss fight in arkham knight. In fact, Arkham knight is worse than city
To be fair, some of those Arkham games were generational. Can't really compare them with any normal game if you want to talk about the state of gaming these days vs that era. For example, I find God Of War's combat mechanics just as satisfying.
Even the “bad” Arkham games are god tier. I’m tempted to go play some 😂
And now a days Gotham nights is great compared to suicide squad
The aesthetics of Arkam Knight are sooo nice, the way Batman's cape flys to the side when he's walking because of the wind, it's those small details that bring the game to life
The Batman Arkham series were on another level. It's so complete. I'm glad they made them
I wish we could get more
@@soar123 me too bro
I agree, I am blessed to still have the original still left to experience but hawt damn the original Arkham city/Knight made my highschool years so fun. I miss those days of having a FINISHED game on day 1 😭🤦🏽♂️🔥
Should’ve made an Arkham origins remastered rather than this garbage😂
Agreed I wish they put out an upgrade patch for next gen consoles
What kills me is Batgirl's momentum whenever she grapples. She stops midair, doesn't matter if she was falling or rising, and slowly reaches her destination. Whereas in Arkham Knight your momentum never stops, so you keep falling and you also reach you grapple point fast af.
Like spiderman swinging In the avengers game and the insomniac one
Just noticed that yeah. They just stop and float in the air before being pulled, weird.
Yeah and Batman’s movement feels more weighted because of that reason unlike Batgirl’s movement in Gotham Knight, adds a bit of realism into that
well, the whole physics of the hook is fucked up. NOtice how Batman always hooks on point higher than him, speeds upwards and then soars. Meanwhile Batgirls hook graples anywhere and it doesnt matter if she is higher o the anchor, she just goes to the hook. That is just common sense, not even development related.
Actually i was about to say the same thing, the momentum breaks, so it does not look good to play ..
My old Xbox 360 is long dead, but my 9 year old son started playing Arkham Knight on game pass...he loved it so i re- bought the entire trilogy on Series X. So while most 9 year olds are playing Roblox and Fortnight my boy is about to complete the entirety of the Batman Arkham trilogy....raise 'em right gentlemen...raise 'em right.
you would think gotham knights was thhe old one. Not to mention I have literally never heard of this game at all until this video popped up on my recommendations
Ra really had a point about theatrics. Like that Batmobile vs bike entrance. Having it roar in the distance and spawn just behind you instead of just appearing in front of you makes all the difference.
True but this is missing context. In Knights the city is fully populated, its business as usual. So they have to be stealthy, as the cops are also after you. So invisible bike makes sense. In Knight the entire map is evacuated by civilians so batman doesn't have to be as subtle if he doesn't want to be.
@@Krackerjax my guy trying to defend a shit game
@@Krackerjax Sure, but I feel like a different effect and some distortion would go a long way to make that invisible bike thing more realistic since as it stands rn, it looks bland. Could've arrived from the back a little, with small and subtle distortion like when the Helicarrier cloaks or any "invisible" effects appearing before uncloaking in front of you.
@@Krackerjax Cuz rn, that bike looks invisible and intangible, though we know it should only be invisible, but the bike is there.
@@Krackerjax EVEN WITH THE CONTEXT, they picked the CHEAPEST decloak visual effect they can find. Like that kind of special effects are things you see on a cartoony game like Overwatch, and OW is already a cheaply, rushed game on development. If you're still not convince that Gotham Knights is like a high school project compared to Batman Arkham Knight, then you just have no soul
You know with the Batmobile always coming in instantly after you call it I liked to imagine it was like a dog/cat that was always slowly following behind him waiting to get called lol
hahaha I thought I was the only one
That's exactly what it does, you can see it following you in detective mode and you look at the city when you're on a rooftop
If you can SEE it from afar and press the call button, you can see it ride its way to you. It was really cool how it didn't just spawn behind you or... this new crap where a whole ass vehicle materializes itself into existence in front of you and they chalk it up to "aLiEn/QuAnTuM tEcHnOlOgY" or "HigHly aDvAnCeD StEaLtH SHrOuD tEcH".. gtfo just let me see the vehicle come from behind a corner or something at least 😂

What I love the most is how Arkham Knight's Gotham City looks, despite being lit quite pretty well, still manage to feel unique yet still gloomy and gothic. While Gotham Knight's city looks like Detroit at 2 AM.

If you'd never seen these two games before and were told that they were 7 years apart, you would instantly think Arkham Knight was the newer game. That's how good it is even 7 years later.
Believe it or not. I actually did. I had to think for a minute to realize Arkham was older.
I still dont know which game is Arkham Knight. The batman one looks nice tho
@@polsoto Arkham knight is the much better looking one with Batman
@@turdburglarsarguewithme I never said it was better game overall, I just said it was better looking. I never said anything about how the biking spawning out of nowhere was worse, or anything like that. Besides Gotham Knights just sucks anyways
@@turdburglarsarguewithme No mate, I never exclusively talked about graphics. And I don't even understand what you're saying. Arkham Knight has better graphics, but even if Gotham Knights had better graphics (which it should have considering it's release date was 7 years after Arkham Knight), it would still be the inferior game by a country mile (which it shouldn't be considering it was released 7 years after Arkham Knight). Arkham Knight is superior to Gotham Knights in every way, and that's a terrible thing, considering Gotham Knights was released *7 years* after Arkham Knight.
At least Gotham Knights doesn't stick you in the goddamn Batmobile for most of its duration.
It's less than 15% of the play time. People actually wanted to verify this notion, and by the numbers, it's not 'most of the game'. However, it is a perfectly reasonable take if you felt that it was still overused.
@@DLH-zw3lx wow. It feels like I have to use it SO MUCH, I’m legit stunned by that. Might partly feel that way bc the open world is so huge that traveling without it is pretty prohibitively slow between many targets… or maybe bc I struggled with many segments that required it, dragging them out a lot. (Firefly chases lasted like seven minutes each for me… APC chases were longer… I got stuck doing Ivy’s sonar for 50 min somehow bc I started so fat away from any roots…)
💀
@@RappingNinja for traveling faster, I highly recommend upgrading the grapnel boost to max. It becomes extremely freeing. If you ever re-play the game, everything gets even more compact. The game conditions you to improvise and improve in many ways. My new game + playthrough was significantly smoother. Worth a try )
You forgot to show how house corners gets smashed to pieces when the batmobile hits them. I think that was great, it doesn't just show the power of the batmobile but also doesn't slows down your driving if you take a corner wrong.

The assets in the new game just suck ass in general, just look at the design of the buildings in Arkham compared to Gotham Knights.
i remember beating this game on nightmare mode no upgrades. was still ridiculously easy as batman but one of those last sequences in the batmobile was so difficult. must have taken me 100 tries and a couple of hours.
Yeah, I remember one of the last ones being the only genuinely frustrating parts of that game.
is it when the militia attack the gcpd? that one is really hard, i lowered the difficulty to easy in that section LOL
I like that the community came around and enjoyed this game. I will admit that even though I bought Arkham Asylum, City, and Origins with all the DLC I STILL avoided getting Arkham Knight when it first came out because it had so many mixed reviews. I've owned it for a couple years now and i absolutely love the game and can't wait for the switch port (hopefully the adam west batman skin is included in the switch version since you needed a mod to get it on PC)
I think I never played this one because of Origins being so bad and I heard it was optimized poorly for PC. I should play it now, the bugs should be fixed.
they run perfectly on PC know I would recommend you giving them a chance forsure. and the PC version of knight has a mod that adds the PS4 exclusive Adam West batman suit.@@kosmosXcannon
Never realized how bad the grappling was in gk. You literally stop mid air and then go, whereas in arkham you actually keep momentum. How did this happen. 😭

It's funny, people actually said Arkham Knight was mid back then. If only they knew.

Arkham Knight was a once in a lifetime leap in game design, I don't really expect anything to compare. The artists in that game deserve so much credit for it.
Can't wait for Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League, the next ACTUAL RockSteady game
It's a little disingenuous to put these two games together as if they should be equal. Game dev is more than just technology as you said. The design of the Arkham games influenced numerous games after it (Like Spiderman and GoW in my opinion). To expect the same from a different company just because it's a Batman game is a little naive.
Red dead?
I'm sure Suicide Squad will compare.
game design is not the word you're looking for here
You know, the irony is it’s a game about wether or not the next generation can live up to Batman’s legacy… I think you see where I’m going with this.
That's a good metaphor!

Now, play it at 0.5x speed
After an extensive analysis, I have been able to conclude: a) the graphics in reality are side to side on quality, the key difference is the art style, camera angles and lightning, still, this also goes to show how impressive Arkham night is! b) The seas are both there, I’d say that Arkham night’s looks better thanks to the lightning, but I’d also like to say the movement of the water in Gotham night is a bit better c) the Batmobile is cool af
Gotham knights has a higher resolution than AK iirc. However, AK looks so much better because the city looks lived in. There are great effects and the lighting is so much better like you said. The streets are actually streets that wind around making them much more visually distinct. I couldn’t play more than like 4 hrs but GK was a basic grid system with ugly stroads that plague Northern American cities.
@@FrothyMeanV2 If these are both captured on PC then Resolution is irrelevant as either game can run at what ever the user wants.
Akshually batmobile is overused 🤓

God the batmobile was great in Arkham Knight. I know some people thought the missions with it were repetitive/annoying, but the traversal with it was so much fun
What I liked at the Batmobile the most was the challenges with batmobiles 😄 I like racing games too and also being a big Batman fan. It was like a Win / Win for me.
Big difference between the two games for me is every time I called the bay mobile there was always a little bit of action wondering where it would come from, and then boom you’re in it. With the bay cycles their animations aren’t dynamic and it feels AWFUL even thinking of driving the thing because it’s so slow and clunky
@@LusioEcarts me too, i loved doing anything in the batmobile, especially gunning it and shooting out at top speed straight into a glide. It might be my absolute favorite traversal in a game (except Spider-Man of course lol)

I've always loved how intense the sound design of Arkham Knight was. Especially the loud, mechanical noises of the Batmobile.
Top 20 HD games with meaty mechanical noises and the sounds of extreme machinery:- 1.Dead Space series 2.This game 3.Death Stranding
I noticed that Gotham knights has louder rain and thunder sound effects which I like. That’s about it tho
It sound angry as fuck
I much prefer the thundering, crunchy noises of Arkham Knight’s combat to the goofy ahh SFX of Gotham Knights
Sound Effect department is usually one of the more underappreciated aspect of video games in general. It's not until we heard something off that we start to appreciate SFXs.
for me its the realistic speed tearing at the edges of the screen as we move at light speed
the engine roar of the batmobile is pure eargasm
The guy who designed batman's cape wrote a book about how he designed it such that it simulated cloth in real time, the challenge was that machines at that time would take few minutes to render one frame for a real cloth simulation, what technique he used that made it possible to put it into the game.
Really? What's the name of the book? That sounds really fascinating!

Wow it's crazy how many improvements they can make in 7 years. The graphics, sound design, collision, and overall ambiance improved so much in Arkham Knight. Can't believe it's already been 7 years since Gotham Knights came out... time flies!
Jajajajajajajajja
Umm..you are joking right?
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
@@M_k-zi3tn Of course they are
Makes a huge difference when the devs are actually passionate and creative
The physics of Batman’s cape alone is insane
LMAO THROW AWAY COMMENT ABOUT BATMAN'S CAPE WINS?!?!?!?
@@bebehillz yk that’s a bot right
@@bebehillz it's call admiration for the time they put into it, 600 different animations, G.K Robin cape clips through his cock. Disrespectful to dismiss and groups work, maybe you should give it a try and see how hard it is. Your comments are the only throwaway, recreational hate without any based comeback.
Yea after the swinging comparison, i was like Arkham knight is better
The sound design is nice
It just shows how important art direction is! Even with the most realistic visuals, if you can't capture that proper "feel," it won't matter. And also the reason why certain older video games have held up so well.
Yup! One of the best pieces of advice I ever got from an art teacher was unless accuracy is critical it doesn't need to BE right it needs to look and feel right. Is this how the shadows would really look? How water would really shimmer, or fabric actually fold? Does it look appealing to the eye and not jump out as wrong? Then go with it.
Yea so much modern games don't have it no more. Dmc 5, the newer halo games (not counting infinite), and this one too.
The art style is why to me Halo 3 still looks great, minus character models and facial animations. The art style and details make it look amazing to me still to this day. Even CoD 2 looks amazing too, I actually prefer its visuals to CoD 4 as they feel like they've aged better in a weird way (the original anyway, remaster still looks amazing, and CoD 4 still looks great, but it's a bit drab in sone spots, but maybe that's just me).
Art direction has nothing to do with it. Old games dont hold up because they look pretty.
I think it's just a budget difference.
I’ve played Arkham knight for every system and now the switch. Yea the graphics for the switch OLED aren’t as good as the other systems but having AK in your handheld system feels awesome. Getting those hours in to 100% every mission gives you a sense of accomplishment. I’m still looking for all of the riddler trophies to be able to capture him and activate the real protocol but whatever it’s fun and I haven’t gotten bored doing it
The major difference is one game was made with the tools that did not allow it to be rushed and still have a level of ""polish"". Due to modern engines doing all the "work" for devs, studios push more stupid deadlines which makes them rely more on the engine's own graphical "enhancements". Games like Arkham are prettier and more optimized because every single location you visit were carefully built within the limitations of the tools handed to the dev, which makes them both prettier, and more optimized. A concrete example of this is classic Fear's lighting fidelity. In short, game development has become a much more streamlined, automated system where productivity takes over product. Efficiency over efficacy. Think of it as a mass produced t-shirt compared to a finely crafted hand sown one. You'll miss out on a lot of the itty bitty quirks and details that makes the hand sown one so good, and really shows how low gaming has stooped lately.
I love how gravity completely shuts down and Batgirl just momentarily floats in mid-air as you shoot the grapple-gun.
Im gonna be that unoriginal person that says, 295 likes and no comments?

@@disccovered6392 yes pls
@@war_axe 🍪 here's a BiScUiT
Youre really gonna play a superhero game and complain about unrealistic physics?
The best part about the Gotham Knights release is that it actually made me redownload Arkham Knight for another playthrough 7 years later!
You’re cringe 💀
@@someuniverseguy7062 ok... why?
@@BennyTxD Most likely because you can't get Gotham Knights on PS4 but you can get Arkham Knight.
Literally in the same boat
@@kingcrimson2643 Lmao 😂🤣😂🤣
"I hope they know what they're doing." Even the npc is calling out the devs.
I like how everyone blames the devs while they are just doing their job and the ones to really blame are much higher than them. I am sure that an average developer would got much more creative ideas than some executive detached from reality.
it's just called capitalism
@@kena6812Capitalism produced Arkham Knight as well, so....
@@EndOfSmallSanctuary97 No it didn't the artists and devs created arkahm, not capitalism. Capitalism is responsible for overworking and underpaying those artists who made the game.
@@kena6812nice cope
You got any evidence the “executives” are solely responsible and the dev team is pure and innocent?
You need to keep in mind that Batman was developed by Rocksteady, who are wizards of using Unreal Engine. Extremely talented team!
Gotham Knights sucked....for the technology available. Plain and simple, no need to be nice. But that Bat-Man was developped by Rocksteady only means that they're more competent than these bozoes who did Knights.
@@mcentepede While I could barely understand that, I agree
@@mcentepede WB Montreal sadly has had a very rocky Batman path. Origins was also very iffy, but Knights looks like a live service changed to single player, as someone else said. I hope it was at least passable and does well enough to get more Batfamily games later down, and done the best possible way.
@@mcentepede Yep. I'd say, in this case particularly, there's no need to be nice. It looks ugly.
@@mcentepede the story just keeps repeating, team does amazing makes owner rich. rich owner makes a bad decision that the team disagrees with, rich man fire them all because they wont brown nose for him. business fails with new team
