>game released 10 years ago looks better than all recent AAA slop
What the fuck went wrong with this industry?

because it faked its graphics retard

>>716358054
all graphics are fake, idiot

>game released 10 years ago looks better than all recent AAA slop
It really doesn't look better.
Can we skip the next 20 replies where your eply that it does indeed look better than all recent games and it devolves into shitflinging about RTX or Physx or UE5? It gets boring, and people who actually played recent games know it's shit.

>>716358054
you mean a game MUST have dynamic global illumination, raytracing and volumetric clouds for it not to be fake?

>>716358310
It really does look better, though.

also harley's butt

>>716358054
so? it looks good, that's what graphics are supposed to do
a lot of games released these days have worse performance and manage to look worse

>absolute best version of the combat system
>absolute best version of the stealth gameplay
>you spend half the time in the fucking tank
Unironically, what the FUCK were they thinking?

>>716357578 (OP)
Are we forgetting the fact that it ran at 3 fps when it came out, and it was one of the worst launches in history

For some reason, 2015 was the peak of graphics

>>716359156

>>716358792
you think the people shilling the graphics of this game know anything about it beyond just the same few bullshots they see in these threads?

>>716358792
new games run like ass AND look like shit even maxed out, so...

>>716359529
people throw a bitchfit when a new game has stuttering and doesn't get above 60fps with an rtx3060. if a game ran so badly it'd have to be deleted from an online story, it'd get dragged through the mud for the better part of a year. which hpapened to arkham knight

wasn't arkham knight 'just' a bad pc port? as in, the console versions ran fine and looked amazing

>>716358792
3 fps for pc niggers.

>>716359994
Yeah but most PCfags don't have good PC's. They use them to shitpost, goon and play games a decade behind or some Bethesda trash. Its like complaining a Lexus needs synthetic oil, good tires and premium gas.

>>716357578 (OP)
It was running a highly modified/customized version of unreal engine 3.

>>716358054
what does this even mean lmao

>>716360471
it's bait bro
at least i hope so

>>716361798
maybe he's talking about the baked lighting

>>716361860
I can't see how that is worse than modern games which are all upscaled (literally fake resolution)

>>716357578 (OP)
I literally just bought this game kek and now I see this thread. I hope it's a good, gonna download it tonight.

Only on PC, and in all honestly you worthless niggers don't deserve any games at all. Just play your fucking Gary's Mod and STFU.

>>716362685

It is. Maybe too many batmobile sections, but it's still great.
>What game is this
Need for Speed (2015)

>>716362796
>It is. Maybe too many batmobile sections, but it's still great.
I know I will get shit for this but the thought of driving around Gotham in a batmobile is what made me say "fuck it" and buy it. I know this was the number 1 complaint about this game, but I'm the psycho that enjoys vehicle sections in games not specifically about vehicles, so... we'll see if it's as bad as people say haha. I think it'll be fun.

>>716359397
What "bullshots"?

City was my favorite. The car was too much for me and was boring to me.

>tfw ywn play the Arhma games for the first time ever again

It's been a fucking decade man. All Rocksteady had to do was keep delivering what they had been delivering, instead they pivoted to the dumpster heap that was suicide squad. Speaking of which, how insane is it that Rocksteady took almost an entire DECADE to release that pile of shit failure of a game? 110 fucking years since Knight came out and it's the only thing they had done as a studio since. How the fuck?

>>716357578 (OP)
Why are constantly raining at night games so rare? it's my favorite setting for mood.
>>716362784
>you worthless niggers don't deserve any games at all.
Stop making poor excuses because Iron Galaxy were tasked with something that they could not handle, it's not even Rocksteady's fault here really. It was the porting studio. But it did eventually get fixed when WB fixed their mess up and just handed it off to another team to salvage it.

>>716364598
Reminder between Asylum's release and Knight's release was just 6 years

>>716358792
i played it with a 1050ti.
I couldn't browse the web while playing but it ran at 55-60 fps most of the time. Honest.

>>716362998
The batmobile is really fun. The only actual valid complaint about it is the two shitty "tank" boss battles instead of having actual real boss battles. The rest of the batmobile gameplay is good.

>>716365716
and they released city between them too. wtf happened man. Game dev cycles are so fucking long now, there's a reason why we see fewer big budget games in general now.

Knight has the best predator challenges in the franchise and the other characters are fun.

>>716366387
The batmobile is actually fine, I agree. The issue is the amount of content that there is for the batmobile in the game, once you start driving around you will find another bomb to diffuse, or another bunch of drones to destroy every few minutes to the point your constantly in the vehicle doing shit.

The controls were polished and refined and everything worked well, it just still very simplistic and there was so much content for it when I just wanted to be fighting hencmen and thugs on the ground.

It's actually crazy how it just feels like the game has a lack of fighting normal bad guys in the city itself, I mean yeah there are just random groups of criminals you can fight, but what is the point when you can just call the batmobile and they get insta KO's by its stun the moment it touches them?

The H2H combat is so good in Knight too and everything flows so well but it shines the best in all the combat challenges. I loved getting all the perfect freeflows untouched never breaking my combo in all those challenges. Especially the iceberg lounge one where you can string up the combo hundreds of times with endless enemies.

>>716366653
Knight is one of my proudest 100% for the achievements.

They were fucking hard, getting all of the challenges done and the perfect freeflows. Iceberg lounge too getting a combo of 250x just to spawn killer croc and then continuing to fight the goons once you beat him getting 400x+ combo before I accidently attacked some goon with a stun baton and blew up the combo.

I cannot overstate how good this game looks at 4K/Ultra on an OLED. Really has to be seen to be believed. Don't know how they did it.

>>716357578 (OP)
The game mostly took place at night which I imagine hides the bad textures well

>>716357578 (OP)
It doesn't look better. It's also a shitty tank driving game.

>>716358310
>It really doesn't look better.
>>716367354
>It doesn't look better
Retards

>>716367882
>the ass on the right
pitiful

>>716366653
Honestly yeah the majority of Knight's gameplay is pretty damn good. Best combat and best predator sections for sure. It just overdoes the bat-tank and flubs the bosses.

>>716368195
>Best combat and best predator sections for sure
I agree, and that just makes me mad because the game that has the best combat and predator sections has the least amount of them compared to the previous games, all thanks to the batmobile.

>>716362404
Baked lighting means the game will always just look like that screenshot, and for Batman that's fine since the game is supposedly set entirely during a since night, but for other games this doesn't work as they are structured around different times of day being a thing.
Sure, one could do baked lighting for just early morning, morning, noon, mid afternoon, evening, and night, but it'd be far more effective to just do normal lighting systems.

>>716368448
It doesn't have the least amount of them by any means, especially if you account for all the extra challenges. It's just the percentage during the storyline that's off.

>>716368662
Does Suicide Squad have different times of day on the same map? I haven't played it.

>>716358792
Really, the issue with Arkham Knight was this
>microtransactions out the ass
>pre-order DLC the day the game got announced
>multiple DLC packs, some of which gate parts of the storyline or straight up cut out side quests from the main game to sell back to you
>all for a game that is a complete failure as a sequel since it drops the vast majority of the plot threads from prior games, and if they are brought back they are hastily resolved in the most unsatisfying ways possible
Arkham Knight is genuinely among the most disappointing games I have ever played. I imagine everyone jerking off to it now are Brazilians who can finally run it, since 90% of all posts relating to it have to do with Harley's ass.

>>716368856
Knight has a lot of issues for sure but the core gameplay is the best in the franchise and it looks and feels really nice.
I did play it a few years after release but I did that with all the Arkham games.

What is Unreal Engine 5, for $300, Alex.

>>716368195
>>716367173
The best part was having team predator and combat challenges. Loved playing as Batman and Robin and fucking everyone up.

Unreal 3 was the last good version of the engine. UE4 was slop and UE5 is gigaslop.

>>716357578 (OP)
hard diminishing returns from graphics

>>716368737

That's the problem

>>716358054
>because it faked its graphics retard
So my own eyes lied to me whenever I play this game???

>>716370191
Your own eyes lie to you every single moment of your life.

>>716370386
NOOOOOOOO

>>716370803
Search your feelings. You know it be true.

>>716367229
I have noticed a lot of games look 10x better at night. Very wise for a game studio to make a game take place exclusively at night, but then again how else would a Batman game play out?

>>716357578 (OP)

>>716364598
long story short, dc/warner kept fucking with them and cancelling projects/switching shit at short notice. The core old team left because they were fed up of being dicked around and we were left with SS because warner bros insisted on a live service game

>>716357578 (OP)
Unreal Engine 5 is good but jeets are too incompetent to get all the juice out of it

Alan Wake 2 is the closest they've got but it ran like ass

>>716358792
Cyberpunk was LITERALLY unplayable at launch and it won how many GoTY? That's the wrong hill to die on, my friend.

>>716364598
>All Rocksteady had to do
It wasn't Rocksteady's decision, Warner Bros wanted a Suicide Squad game after the movie performed well. Problem was that Rocksteady was already knee deep in their next project. They were forced to stop all work and start on SS. Same thing happened to WB Games Montreal, they were working on a Batman 666 adaptation made on Knights code.

Grapnel Boost and Super Eject are the best thing to ever happen in this series

>>716364598
>There will NEVER be another Arkham game of this quality since the original team left WB after poor brand management

It’s set at night and there are no civilian NPCs which require scripting and no interiors accessible outside of planned story beats. All the mooks share the same body type and divide amongst like three costumes.

>>716375323
I'm also guessing they saved a shit ton on performance with the game always being at night

>>716374505
>LITERALLY unplayable at launch
Bought it day one, played it on my day-one xbone off of a disk. This isn’t true and Im sick of people parroting the narrative literal transsexuals devised to sink the game after they wouldn’t remove the tranny ad.

What ruined the game was that god awful massive overhaul, I haven’t touched it since.

>>716375470
Exactly. Plus it’s set at night.

>>716373997
is suicide squad harley that much of a downgrade? i almost bought that game last steam sale because i wanna stare at her ass like old times...

>>716357578 (OP)
Look at what happened after Rocksteady got MeTooed., They made fucking Suicide Squad.

>>716375908
LOL. Yes. It's not even worth pirating.

>>716358792
We should be forgetting that, considering it runs extremely well after the patches.

>>716375908
Yes, they had to use a different animations and mocap, and the short time frame means that everything happened with little quality control.

>>716376053
Suicide Squad is okay, the problem is that every mission ends with a loot box screen and the grind is insufferable

The tank shit sucked so much lol

>>716357578 (OP)
retarded companies created retarded policies to hire retarded devs

retarded conglomerates pushed retarded products to make retardedly complex systems that dont intricately work together

impossible to optimize programs on this dogshit spaghetti vomit ball of hardware people are forced to work with

terry davis was right. CPUs were our future, not GPUs

games do not need to look better than metal gear solid 4

Any good mods for it?

>>716376457
A shit load of suit mods and people are even starting to put in new batmobiles too.

>>716375471
Your anecdotal experience is just that.

>>716357578 (OP)
Fortnite and Overwatch are responsible for the shitty clay graphics every game have now. Developers have seen that it doesn't matter to brain dead zoomers if your game looks shit.

UE5 is cancer, that's all

>>716376704
Has anybody modded the racing-only batmobiles to be useable in tank mode yet?

>>716367173
That is impressive, good job Anon. The Alley AR is not too difficult, but by golly, I despise the Monarch Theatre.
I swear Robin, Catwoman and Nightwing have some of their attacks be ever so slightly mistimed due to their flourishes. Just a little too slow, just enough for me to lose the rhythm.
Gave up on the achievement before I ate the controller.

I started reading the comics 2 days ago and was thinking of trying arkham asylum
I already played city and knight

Idk I am having a batman itch lately
I have been fantasizing about writing a batman animated show that reboots the shitshows the comics seem to have become.
