Batman Arkham knight really was ahead of it’s time. This game still looks better then 90% of games today and it’s already almost 7 years old
Exactly
Hell, even Arkham City which released 11 years ago still looks great.
@@lucas169 DAMN 11 YEARS MY GOSH i feel like i played it yesterday
Never forget Arkham origins , because the boss fights were amazing especially deathstroke
The most generic comment in every Arkham knight related video
Batman came out about 4 years before Spider Man and keeps up in graphical detail. Impressive
7yrs ago lol 7yr and the game is better than most games that released in 2020 2021 2022
@@tamh7battleofgods419 i think your talking about spiderman miles morales
true
3 years.
5 years to be the exact, 2015-2020
i will always be baffled at how batman's cape catches rain and when you glide is splashes and slides all over the cape, such a nice thing to add imo
Rocksteady at their finest.
the cape took over half a year to animate and design is what i read somewhere
You should see it with the fog physics on pc !! You can litterly see the Cape causing smoke to move realistically when it waves through it.
@@m.serhat3895 That was just for Arkham Asylum. They perfected it.
A developer of he game already revealed he used to work specifically at the cape and the rain at his free time, so the team even had some extra time in that area.
Im glad that its not just me appreciating the graphical excellence of Batman Arkham Knight. I can tell you the texture detail and performance was and is still amazing. In such a big openworld game, they used every trick they had to make the game look amazing and perform fantastic 👏
even i like spiderman games its really impressive for 2015 game that performs more well than a 2018 game in terms of graphical details
The performance in Batman Arkham knight was terrible😂😂. It was so bad on pc they had to remove it from steam for over a month. Also Spiderman looks leagues better than this game in 2018 and it definitely does now.
@@slayed9602 idk what pc ur playing on but the game runs excellent on a not new ps4 Stop tweakin and give the game its props 💀

Batman Arkham Knight is like the most detailed superhero game ever. It's older than Spiderman but look at those textures, the detail. Even after 8 years, i still play it and enjoy it a LOT! The best finale to one of the most iconic super hero game franchises I've ever seen. Rocksteady, sincerely, Thank You!
3 years old only, but still the graphics were way ahead of us

Decent textures. Awful bosses. They made slade into a tank fight..Worst arkham
@@frogglen6350 Best Arkham on every level except bosses, which are bad overall in all of the games.
Mad respect to rocksteady for making Arkham Kinght so damn good in 2015 on Unreal Engine 3 which was released in 2006! That games was really made by people with passion, If only I could forget entire Arkham series to replay it again...
That really proves that fancy tech doesn't matter much at all. If your devs got heart and soul ready to be put into the project there's NO WAY your game will flop or disappoint
Holy Cow, I thought that was Unreal 4! It's actually insane the game is running in Unreal Engine 3.
What about insomniac you won’t give them the love they deserve they are also passionate about Spider-Man as a character and take player feed back and care about making a great Spider-Man game
@@kaponosucks I did not said that Insomniac don't care about Spider-Man... I just said that Rocksteady made really impressive game on 9 years old Engine
And we have gta definitive edition in unreal engine 4 🤢
Spider-man definitely owes a lot to the Arkham series, but I'd also say that the Arkham games (especially once they move to an open world in City) owe a lot to Spider-man 2 (PS2/Xbox/GC). It's cool to see the cycle of influence and the overall progression of superhero games.
Bro Wdym the Spider-Man games were inspired by the Arkham games not the the he way around
@@snsjshsushshdjshdjdhdhdj2428 you do know that spiderman 2 existed before arkham has been made right?
Batman starts from somewhere first I think it starts from Batman & Robin for having free roam then Batman Vengeance and Dark Tomorrow also might be one of the factors in making Arkham series but Spider-Man 2 certainly gave them more ideas such as counter moves and the Grappling hooks for traversal and combat Despite being a different comic book they inspired each others
@Evander Pawliw he's not saying Spider-Man 2 is better he's saying that the inspiration is there
@Evander Pawliw Looks like you're the 9 year old who needs to understand how the world works. Spider Man 2 was one of those successful open world games that paved the way for other games to improve theirs. Keep in mind that game came out 11 years before Arkham Knight
AK did more than what i wished for, thank you rocksteady.
It has some of the worst boss fights in a game :,)
@@frogglen6350 what boss fights ?
@@frogglen6350 everything else was great. Stop hating. I saw u on other comments just hating
@@Fumble469 i dont know bro, I loved that game, at 116% now, but yeah the few boss fights were just okay. Hate that deathstroke’s boss fight was batmobile-based but it was still kinda fun.
@@user-uw1ph3uz1x I mean yeah, the boss fights are sadly what AK lacks at. The Spider-Man boss fights are far superior. But I still think that AK is a better game since the combat and the stealth feels so much better imo.
Some aspects of Spider-Man are better, such as parkour but overall Arkham knight is just a far superior game
Imo spiderman is better

First these two games are spectacular and i love both of these games could play them both without getting bored they both have their flaws but honestly i accept those flaws because it brought an epic story and i spent hours days and weeks playing these games such a masterpiece
Exactly 100% agree.... that's why I couldn't choose....they both win
yes 2x
They really make you feel like the characters, it's something we don't see everyday
Batman wins cuz Spiderman is an exclusive title!
Batman is away better.. spider man was a try to copy but still far away from arkham kight masterpiece.
First I thought it was on Unreal Engine 4. But Rocksteady really pushed the Unreal Engine 3 to its limits providing us game that looks so great even to this day.
Same! I thought it was crazy that they achieved such brilliant graphics with ue3
Wtf? Arkhan Knight was made on Unreal Engine 3????? Damn!
Dam ! Didn’t know that suicide squad should be dope then
@@nahush6299 Yup UE3 baby.
It was a customized unreal engine 3 that was modified for nextgen. Not that it was a standard UR3
I revisited Arkham Knight, started a new game+, as much as I love Spiderman, nothing beats Arkham series, the feeling you have when you play AK is just too good, the atmosphere is perfectly done
Everything in Arkham Knight just seems more realistic. Even the unrealistic things feel more realistic. The way Batman moves, the combat, all has this weight behind it. Everything in Spider-Man feels like weightless slow motion.
Though I like Arkham Knight more, I gotta disagree on this one. Batman is intended to look intimidating with a lot of muscle behind it, but Spider is way more light and agile, thus, as you said, seemingly weightless.
@@user-cg8yz7sd3him sure OP meant something way beyond that
@@godzillazfriction I just wanted to wrap the general idea into one small reply, but I can explain more thoroughly. Though Batman's punches seem to have more weight than Spidey's, he's a human. Yes, he holds back too, but nevertheless, he applies tremendous amount of force into his punches. The game wants to convince you that though Batman a meer human, his punches are still devastating. Meanwhile, M'sS-M wants to convince you that though Spider is a superhuman, he too holds punches. His punches seem like underwhelming, yeah, but that's the intention. You never get rid of that feeling that Spider is able to do more.
@@user-cg8yz7sd3h i think he means by maybe at least how got from OP was that he felt off while web swinging as well as the parkour animations being a bit floaty... compare this to something like Web of Shadows and you can really sense WoS' spideys ferocious speed as well as when he's wearing the symbiote, his speed and the force that comes from it while jumping off the ground and flipping a whole car to explode... but thats really it... the combat feels good and you if you master it, you can go very fast unless that's a mod that i saw from a combat video for Insomniacs spiderman... still the combat feels good
@@user-cg8yz7sd3h so that's why maybe OP thinks that as a whole, Insomniacs spiderman feels like weightless slow-motion
another attention to detail in arkham knight is when you are using the detective vision mode you can see oracle's broken spine
Woooow I definitely gonna check it out there is so many details in this game i really had no idea about that
Really????
@@arash8681 Yeah
not only this But in that illusion where she shoots herself Switch to night vision and you will see her spine is not broken thus instantly you will realize its an illusion
@@arthur_belmont you can also tell when someone is clayface in one of the games because he has no bones in detective vision.
Imma just say it. Spider-Man man is a fantastic game. But it don’t compare to Arkhams gameplay, graphics, combat ect. Like the scope of these game are unprecedented. The details to every nook and cranny of the game ensure your not just playing as Batman, but you are apart of his world. A gamerverse that’s had an audience for over a decade. Not sayin insomniacs Spider-Man can’t do that! They just ain’t done it yet. I hope they do! They are on their way in their own Amazing fashion

@sy92r01 yeah I did and no it’s not. You probably mean remastered last of us hopefully but even remastered doesn’t have better graphics than marvel Spider-Man -Man. Don’t me a hater that was the dumbest thing I heard. You never played Spider-Man before in your life.
@@voltairezollo1202 It’s not just the rain and lighting. It’s just better Arkham night is just simply better graphically. Just look at the texture comparisons. They’re all better on AK
@@voltairezollo1202 sorry dude but your wrong here Arkham knight looks better simply because it’s made using unreal which is always going to look better than the vast majority of games.
@@CC-iy6zk no. Spider-Man lighting is more based off of real life. The windows are transparent and actual interior. Arkham knight just has yellow glass panes that emit light and reflection which makes the lighting in the night appear better. Watch a video of Spider-Man vs doc ock when it’s raining in the night the game looks so much better well appears better. In marvels Spider-Man the lighting is so accurate that all the light comes from the sun and buildings instead of adding a bunch of transparent lights. Well that’s what old games used to do.
do remember that the spider-man used is a remaster while batman never got a ps5 upgrade, it's still the ps4 version and it looks amazing

Two of my favorite games ever, perfect in design and execution. I love how similar they are and yet they have their own feel and personality, both games capture masterfully the essence of being Batman/Spider-Man, not only they apply video game mechanics to the gameplay but they are justified by the character's lore, gadgets and moves.
As a neutral fan of both. I prefer Arkham Knight. It has possibly one of the best graphics and it was ahead of its time. The villians are so good. Especially the costumes you select for batman are good too. So many things about Arkham Knight makes it possibly the best superhero game
Imo Arkham had the worst bossfights in the entire series, coming from a huge arkham fan. I wish Batman and Jason had a one on one fist fight at the end
@@gamingseed2511 that's ok. It's your POV
Aside from the overuse of the batmobile.......I thought the story possibly is one of the best in a super hero game! It felt super cinematic and kind of real in a world where its clearly fantasy! The poison ivy stuff, The Scarecrow story and even the controversial jason todd story! I like that it was a world that contrasted with the military aspect vs the crazy and unhinged approach from the first arkham game!
@@aphoticphoton yeah it's an evolved Batman Arkham Game with a great story. No DC Game can match it, in my opinion.
Spiderman ps4 is better
Who else thinks that Batman Arkham knights graphics are better than spiderman PS5 the remastered edition
I think it's not really the grafics. It's the different lighting and the different shapes of buildings that are not just designed like huge glass blocks. There is a difference between a game that sets in modern New York on daylight and a game that plays in Gotham by night with mixed architecture.
Technically Spider-Man's graphics are way better, but the environment and the atmosphere of Batman is way better, which makes me like it more than Spider-Man
It's the atmosphere of Arkham Knight that make it look better graphically, but without the atmosphere you can see that Spider Man is better graphically
Arkham Knights graphics don't even have ray tracing.
@@oliverhardy9464 Gotham in Arkham Knight is really atmospheric even architecture is more cool
Arkham Knight has a more realistic feel, while Spider-Man has a more comic booky feel. Both are great in their own right and shoutout to the developers who worked so hard on both games.
I actually feel the opposite. In AK it’s always nighttime and always raining and always dark to make it fit the Batman/Gotham theme. In Spider-Man however it’s more realistic, more lighting, not always dark and moody. Both games however do look amazing in their own style, just depends which style you prefer more tbh.
@@burcopresents what do you expect? it is always night time and day time will never come and please it is much more realstic
How on earth does spider-man ps4 look like a comic book? if you're talking about spider-man ps1/ultimate spider-man/ultimate spider-man total mayhem then you are 100% correct, but spider-man ps4? Hell nah.
@@burcopresents Actually batman arkham games are each set in one full night so it's normal
@@burcopresents that is because it is a batman game batman strikes only at night if you know anything about batman while spider man does both and villains are terrified by batman and most villains act in night like 90% so yeah it has to be night most of the night not if all the time
im a marvels spider man fan and wow for a game released 7 years ago, batman arkham graphic details are impressive as hell shout out to the developers!! maybe spider man is missing some details bc the city in this game is really big and the devs had to focus in making it look good when we're swinging and even when we're just chilling on the ground and seeing stuff up close like the textures and etc, feel like a living city, and definitely during the gameplay you can feel it, theres people on the roof of buildings partying, ppl on the ground playing basketball and stuff. theres points which the both games are better bc of the differences between batman's and spidey's city and story. im sure both are beautiful and amazing games!
Arkham had the better graphics, but Spider-Man had the better city
@@georgesikorski9891 I’d say Knight definitely looks better, but actually being in it is less interesting than Spider-Man.
To end this arguement both games are great
Batman is better and has the awards. Unlike Spiderman
@@georgesikorski9891 Arkham City is better than any marvel city
Arkham Knight is a visual masterpiece from top to bottom. Lots and lots of details. The rain...oh my. I've never seen light interacting with the rain like that in any videogame. What I think detracts a lot from the graphical quality in Spiderman is the low poly feeling (for me at least) that the game gives when the city is viewed from above. Buildings are too obviously just boxes, with little detail added.
The reason combat in Spider-Man PS4 feels so sluggish compared to the Arkham games is because: - There's no parrying, only dodges - Every dodge is either a dramatic dive or a backflip rather than simply swaying or step-dashing - Finishing moves take too long to end due to excessive use of slow-mo - Certain attacks and moves that could be done in one or two motions can take up to *five* motions to finish (Spider-Man _does not_ need to spin around a mail box twice to throw stuff at bad guys and he certainly doesn't need to shoot two webs to yank a weapon out of an enemy's hands) - Every special move shifts the camera to a cinematic angle instead of saving it for the last enemy in an encounter - For some strange reason, you can't quickfire gadgets - The majority of your basic attacks are spin kicks, barely any punches - Enemy AI isn't aggressive enough and they're often spread out too far - No "Beatdown" move where you rapidly attack a single enemy until their KO'd And no, none of it is intentional because of "lore reasons". Shattered Dimensions and Edge of Time showed that Spider-Man combat can be a lot faster and smoother without compromising on the stylishness
Batman was ahead of this Time, so for me Batman is more impressive in 2015 than spiderman in 2018 !
@@rag8444 well, remember metal gear solid 1, remember how that shit looked? characters were just textures splashed onto figures. 3 years later, we got mgs2, and some things in that game STILL stands out even to this day. so yeah, 3 years is more than enough for a graphical leap, and spiderman ps4 wasn't much better than arkham knight graphically imo
Batman arkham knight is a beautiful masterpiece, i loved the suit and all the only thing was that rocksteady wanted to introduce the batmobile and many missions were completed using it and some of them can get boring but putting it aside it was a pure masterpiece from the environment to history and gameplay.
Hey man I'll take Batmobile missions any day over MJ/Miles stealth missions.
@@IzakD8 Yeah honestly the stealth is to easy and spider man isn't a stealth kind of guy that's batmans thing
The car takedown part made me laugh a bit.😂 It clearly shows how different Batman and Spiderman are character wise.
Both of them are amazing but I prefer Arkham Knight just because it's not exclusive to one platform. Let me tell you it can really look amazing on PC Edit: Spiderman came out on PC after I wrote the original comment and as I said it really does look amazing on PC
💯
I agree
and now spiderman is on pc
@@Snaaake_Beater Yeah, I am really excited about that, my current PC probably won't be able to run it but I am definitely gonna play it once I upgrade
@@MarkoVuckovic32 believe me the arkham games are soooooo much better. the only good thing at spiderman is the swinging
Mann... Batman Arkham Knight was way ahead of it's time.
I think Arkham Knight is at that level of quality where even when it will look old one day, it will never look bad. It has that quality like Jurassic Park where they made it right and it will age gracefully.
That's the power of an amazing art direction
I think I prefer Spider-Man, but I also really like Batman Arkham Something I noticed tho is that Batman feels really tense and like angry compared to spider’s more free and jumpey movement, so great job both studios
well....its DC and its the freaking BATMAN... so making batman tense and angry is a must based on his backstories
It's just a natural thing for Batman to be moody and dark. His younger self in Arkham Origins is much more angry and even more violently brutal.
You just sound like a Marvel fan with hardly any familiarity with DC or Batman.
I'm trying to put myself on your shoes. But I still can't help but think that you're talking about the character not the graphics design and combat which is the content of this video. So I guess you're talking about the character not the content of this video. I don't judge but it's kinda misleading whether your talking about the graphics or the character.
I love how everyone is roasting you even though the "tense and angry" was a compliment to the animation style since it fits Batman along with Spidermans free and flexible movement
IMO judging from both experience and this video, Spider-man excels in the movement / open roam department, while Arkham takes the combat / stealth department with the Freeflow system, its just so satisfying, but that dosent mean Spider-Man's combat is bad or Arkhams free roam is bad though
In all honesty, they're both perfect at what they're trying to do so it's hard to compare. Arkham Knight is the perfect Batman game. Spider-Man is the perfect Spider-Man game. Their systems will inherently feel different, not really better or worse. Both absolute masterpieces.
Eh gliding and driving the Batmobile is just as fun as swinging
Idk I've always felt like spiderman's combat was floaty and the animations looked kinda stiff
I personally never really loved Arkham’s combat. It felt a lot more button mash than Spider-Man, probably just because Spider-Man is inherently more agile. Maybe it’s the difficulty I played on but it was never that engaging to me for some reason. And side note: While I do enjoy swinging in Spider-Man more, driving in the batmobile in Arkham is awesome
@@thewage7108 although when i play miles morales, i do enjoy the combat and sometimes go wild with it. Not sure if i should rank it better than Arkham knight tho
Batman Arkham Knight is so advance for it's time
The fact that Arkham Knight looks this good when it came out in 2015 is so mind blowing. This game was really ahead of it's time and the fact the you are comparing the PS5 Remaster of Spiderman to the PS4 Version Arkham Knight (don't know why you aren't using the PC Version at Max Settings) And it still looks just as good if not better just shows that Rocksteady Really put in alot of work into Arkham Knight.

Both games are great. Bats and spidy. I have got to get the crossover comic.
Arkham Knight is definitely superior in pretty much every way, but the main two are the world/environment, and polish. AK's world is considerably more detailed, atmospheric, and stylized; it's one of the best representations of Gotham City EVER. Its rainy night setting contributes to this a great deal. AK's world will almost always be superior to SM's relatively realistic Manhattan. The game is also more polished, and the Batmobile, though controversial in its implementation in the story, brings a whole other dimension of traversal and mechanics to the world.
I often walk and admire the beauty of Arkham Knight. Even Arkham city/ origins look beautiful to this day.
I wouldn’t say every way. Spider-Man’s writing is much better story wise and movement/traversing is better. And I know this is unpopular but I’d put the combat higher as well only because there’s so much more variety with his powers. Both great though and really make you feel like Batman/Spider-Man

Rocksteady is basically a den of geniuses. I'm currently playing Arkham Knight at 60 to 90fps and wow... it really does look more impressive than the majority of games out now. I switched the framerate to 30fps and my jaw dropped. The game looks like a literal Hollywood movie.
i dont understand why youd switch to 30 fps?
@@dom20141 Because it gives the game a more cinematic Hollywood-esque feel, as opposed to the arcade-y feel of high framerates. Also, high framerates make the 3D assets look flat/less dense which ruibs the immersion for me.
@@thronosstudios that makes no sense. Movies use 24 fps because its easier to edit. If you prefer a less smooth experience then you're just weird. Also you have a wacky pc and/or eyes if high fps makes textures look worse. What a take 💀
@@dom20141 Easier to edit?! Hahaha, what are you smoking? 24 fps used to be the standard for film because that was the understanding of the time when films were still in their infancy of the max amount of "images" the eyes could perceive in a second. Now it's a standard because it gives movies their distinct cinematic feel. That's why The Hobbit movie was poorly received having been filmed at 45 fps. It gives everything a cheap, soap opera kind of feel, and the props on the scene look really like props instead of actual objects organic to the scene. And my PC is fine, hence why it can run this game between 50 to 70 fps in 4K... but it looks lame, so I mostly play it at 30 fps because the motion blur in lower framerates glues the motion together and gives it more density. When the framerate is higher, the motion blur is essentially not needed, so it just looks like a bunch of screenshots rapidly flashing in succession, which is jarring. That is, unless the game runs upwards of 200 fps (where the frames start to smoothly blend again). I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about. Some of us don't play games just to play games, but to be immersed in an experience. I guess if you're into sports/racing games (or Fortnite -- none of which I'm into) it would make sense why you'd like to play like that.
@@thronosstudios you're kidding yourself. 60fps is an objective improvement. I've played knight at 30 and it feels horrible. You either have shitty eyes or don't know how to properly adjust your graphics

Seeing them side by side just solidifies how much better and ahead of its time Batman was. The environments alone are so much better in Batman. Watch 2:06 - 2:20. The streets on NYC lack personality and life unlike Gotham. Not sure why they decided to go with such a clean and flat aesthetic for NYC considering how vibrant the city is in real life.
No
It was probably easier to model and texture that way
Arkham Knight looks so fricking good and holds up to with even next gen games. Makes me wonder what tf the level designers started smoking that they couldn't just stop making us use the batmobile for like a minute.
Glad I got to live in a time where both characters had such good games
I've always, enjoyed spiderman, and it was my favorite superhero game until now. I finished arkham knight the other day and I loved the story and the graphics are insane! 9/10
The fact Batman released on Multiple platforms and had such details and smooth animations in 2015 puts Insomniac to shame
@@FateItself Sony gave them money what are you talking about? And Insomniac has developed games before that as well
Rocksteady were a different breed back then
@@rover5058 skilled devs 💪 dunno why they stopped after Arkham knight for this long
@@prototypeb3480 I was hoping they'd be working on a Red Hood or Azrael game after Knight but we're getting suicide squad 🤦♂️
@@pissy4476 suicide squad looks sick
Batman and Spiderman are my favorite characters, but if asked to choose which one is better? I choose Batman Arkham knight
Batman Arkham Knight is a masterpiece in everyway It's older the Spider-Man and it's beat Spider-Man
Batman’s gliding v Spider-Man’s swinging has a clear winner. Yeah it’s amazing to swing so freely and with grace, but the detail with the rain and the glow of the city with Batman is just next level
Gliding in Arkham Knight (2014) felt way faster and more momentum-based than swinging in Spider-man (2018). AK was truly ahead of its time.
Both of them are great but you gotta admit AK was just mind-blowing. From its story to the atmosphere, the batmobile, gameplay, graphics everything is just incredible considering it came out in 2015. By comparison, I think the spider game looks childish even though I also love it. But it can't beat AK. It's a true masterpiece in the superhero genre.
Amazing how Arkham knight still holds up to this day, whoever was the lead designer and made the art style did a great job.
Imagine how Good Batman arkham knight could look on ps5 😍
also on 8k / 4k
At that point, Just watch one of the latest batman movies lol (Graphics would be that great)
just finished batman arkam knight today and its one of my favorite games of all time. I know spiderman wont be better than batman but I am sure it will still be an amazing game
Batman rain physics is so great 😍
they are so similar. i used to play AK all the time.. and on aug12 when SP came to PC, i cant help but notice the similarities the mechanics and all
Batman is a rich guy in a Halloween bat suit, whereas Spiderman is a broke student bitten by a radioactive spider.
Halloween? That suit had armour
3:21 That fall on the water looks so unrealistic. How couldn't they get such a simple thing right?
Ikr, howmon Earth was there no splash😭
Thanks for timestamps!
Arkham knight s art Direction makes the difference but Spider-Man couldn't be better it's just that Batman universe is more unique and creative.
I love them both. The best games based on comic books characters and our favorites of all time!
Insomniac and Rocksteady did more for these characters than Warner and Disney will ever do
arkham game is still relevant to this day and being compare with new triple a titles. yeah its that awesome
Texture in Arkham Knight is unbelievable. It’s beat Spider-man
Both of them are amazing games I am glad that I played both excited for Wolverine and wonder Women because we already got best Spiderman ND batman games now I want there games also
Both of them are amazing games and everyone can agree with me so idc which one is better they’re both 10/10 games
They masterpieces and 100/100
Spiderman is 8/10 for me but it's pretty fun
@@t.t6294 ok your opinion Everyone has different opinions
@@spider-man_batman_fan2959 of course. Don't get me wrong. Spiderman is great, I just wasn't a fan of the ubisoft style side quests. Towers and collectibles. I feel like those are going to be much better in the sequel
@@t.t6294 Yes, will be better at the sequel
I believe there are no loading screens for Arkham knight, if you play the game without ever dying once it's like a movie, kind of like in god of war 2018 where you only get loading screens when you die, the way it transitions from cutscene to gameplay is amazing
Arlham Knight and Uncharted 4 were truly ahead of their time and still hold up to this day.
Arkham knight is certainly the better game
These Two Games Will Always Have A Special Place In My Heart
Somehow Arkham Knight looking more impressive, maybe it's just me
Both are awesome.hope spiderman will get released for pc soon.and for batman arkham knight,hope rocksteady will make the batman 2022 movie inspired skins for both batman & batmobile.
It amazes me how most took arkham knight for granted and that’s ok. Arkham knight will go down as the best super hero game of all time
The details in batman are wild, just walking on the streets looking into restaurants and storefront windows, seeing patios and chairs, mannequins and all the detail just packed into every building
City is dead and empty
@@CodyvsEveryone that’s fair, but it’s justified by the storyline in context
@@nun4464 it's like that in every Batman game lol.. the city is dead
_Arkham Knight_ has smoother animations and a more responsive fighting system; it _feels_ more fluid and tactile.
Not even close😂😂
@@slayed9602 He's not wrong about arkham knight, insomniac's spider-man is good to quit d*ck riding 😂💀
Nice bro really appreciate it 👌
The fact that Batman Arkham knight Looks better and plays better than most Triple AAA games today while being 7 years old, is both Amazing for Batman Arkham Knight and Sad for most Triple AAA games.
Spiderman stealth takedowns are pretty bad and don't feel like stealthy at all. How is banging bodies against the ground and beams stealthy? 😂😂😂
Batman was closer to a film than a videogame, that was just amazing.
This just makes me love both the games even more. Such absolute masterpieces 😍
Two legendary games
one of things that makes Arkham Batman better than Spider-Man is that, when you're moving around or parkour-ing around in Arkham you can feel the weight of the character. the camera, the motion blur and the sounds makes it feel like there is a life to it. the Spider-Man one though is too stabilized, no lag which makes it feel lifeless. btw this is just my opinion, I love both games.
Spiderman is just that more powerful and agile that's why. He does it with ease while batman is still only human
@@JessieRamos16 good point
In terms of navigation around the city, boss fights and story Spider man takes the cake. Arkham knight definitely has better graphics, gameplay and diversity (i.e. Combat, Predator, tank battles, riddles, racing all in one!)
Arkham story is almost as par as spiderman... Only the boss fight was bad.. Also spidermans story take the peak point around the end along with a pointwhere i got bored, wheres arkham kept me sat on the edge of the chair
@@AbdurRahim-ep5qv think biggest letdown in Arkham knights story was the reveal on who the Arkham knight is. It made sense why he wanted Batman dead but in terms of why he teamed up with scarecrow to bomb the city I still can’t understand.
@@MrWinMrWin-qr2bn The Arkham Knight obsessed with defeating Batman for about three years, he was not thinking clearly. Also, my biggest problem with who the Arkham Knight was is that, while it makes sense like you said, it was WAY too big a bomb to drop in the last game of the trilogy. Especially since the only reference to the character was a line from non-canonical DLC. Paul Dini skipped that character when he wrote Batman: TAS and likely intended to skip him in the Arkham series too. Rocksteady should've used a different character.
@@MMTrigger I agree I feel like if they were planning on putting the Arkham knight in as Jason Todd it should’ve been hinted in Arkham city so that the story would line up better
racing, riddles and tank battles were the weakest parts of the game. that's what people complained about the most including me.
BRO NO . was just about to search this, as soon as the thought goes into my head this appears on my home screen
I finished arkham knight on pc twice already, but only a few hours with spiderman on ps4, the combat system was not responsive like batman, and there was some delay with the controller, but it releases today on pc, I think I'm gonna give it another try
PC plays good since there is no noticeable input delay on pc vs consoles.
@@DBTHEPLUG yeah I play it on pc and the combat more fluid and responsive than ps4 version
Batman has more realistic gravity feeling and looks much better visually
For now,we have to wait to see what's marvel spider man 2 cooking 👀
@justplaying798 it literally looks like spiderman ps4, I honestly couldn't find any changes except the venom garbage.
Sad that the only game to come close to arkham knight in quality is red dead but because red dead is far bigger in scale compared to Batman it can be forgiven for not being as graphically detailed
My both favorite games and a good way of comparing them
Arkham is my favorite game though
These are 2 amazing games! I have both of them for my PS4. I recommend anyone who plays video games should purchase Batman Arkham Knight and spider Man.
The Spider-Man showcases could be 10x better... I feel like you chose the best points + clips for Batman; but just speed ran through Spider-Man with no care to show the best web swinging(etc).
He didnt even play the batman parts properly bruh😭
Both capture the character really well but Akrham knight to me is better. Travelling thru the city alone is incredible, being able to glide or use the batmobile is awesome. The city they created and the graphics are just amazing, I played it on the xbox at 900p and 30fps and thought it looked really good. Seeing the game on pc at 4k at 120fps for the first time was mindblowing.
São dois grandes jogos, mas os detalhes no jogo do Batman é absurdo de realista. A chuva batendo nas asas enquanto ele voa é sensacional. Sem falar que saiu 3 anos antes que o Spider Man.
who care when it's worth to play both. both game are fantastic
Batman dives down:Hello there! Boom!!!!
