A 2015 game on a modded Unreal 3 looks better than anything post 2021, does that ring any bells ?

I could play this on a HDD, all the new unreal engine games are a stuttering mess on HDDs

the only controversy i remember from this game was people being annoyed at all the Batmobile segments

>>719179153 (OP)
You're delusional, the game was unoptimized at launch and everyone complained about it. UE3 was the UE5 of its time.

Fax, too many gamers are spoiled by patches and better hardware. It is cringy to see people whining about how they can't run modern games on 4k/240 FPS on ultra. It wasn't the case back then and it certainly isn't the case now.

I wonder if BF6 campaign will look any better.

pure revisionisms

bam ham arkhasm was one of worst pc launches and ports at the time

>>719180020
The game was literally pulled from Steam shortly after release for a time because it was so bad in performance

Anyway, true story.

It's mostly corporate greed, really.
They hire and fire because it's cheaper than keeping good artists and programmers

why do you do this? Unreal 3/4 are well known to run a lot better with defaults than Unreal5 which forces a whole bunch of dumb shit that come with default high requirements.

>>719179153 (OP)
HD killed gaming as projects went from 1 to 3 years max to 5 years minimum. The culture war is a misdirection you bot.

>>719179878
not defending UE5 but who cares? buy a fucking SSD

All it proves is that artstyle is more important than graphic fidelity.

No it doesn't. Why does everyone on this website hyperexaggerate like a twitter woman?

What in the fuck are you talking about. For one, Arkham Knight is the end of Batman's story. Two, they already made a sequel that was killed by its greedy payment model. The failures beyond Arkham Knight are all to do with those long after Arkham Knight was completed.

Absolutely not. This is only said by people who don't actually play new games.

Arkham Knight has cool environment design and lots of nice detail but graphically it's very much a game of the 2010s. You can spot this easily by the models and by the lighting, where everyone in interiors is always illuminated in this weird overly bright flat sheen.

This is visually a nicely detailed PS4 game.

That's because WB completely fucked up the PC version and it took months to fix.

>>719179153 (OP)
Graphical fidelity is better now, its the art direction and implementation that have gone to shit

So where are your examples of today's graphics being better than Arkham Knight?

>>719185224
>who cares
Not caring is why the industry has gone the way it did. Grow a pair and stand for something

Jedi Survivor
Horizon Forbidden West
Hellblade 2: Walking Simulator
Death Stranding 2
Black Myth Wukong
Microsoft Flight Simulator
Cyberpunk 2077
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
KCD2

yeah bro refusing to upgrade from your old 5400rpm 500gb HDD is really brave, taking a stand for your beliefs kek

>>719188579
Then you're seeing shit that I'm not, as they are roughly the same fidelity.

>>719179153 (OP)
night and wet is not hard to make look good. This game would look like shit during daytime, Ground Zeroes/Phantom Pain is another example

>>719185519
>Almost 20 years later
>Still some of the best environmental art design in vidya
I still find it so baffling that DICE didn't get anyone on the original Mirror's Edge's art team back for Catalyst

>>719188813
I don't have Arkham Knight installed right now but the difference in fidelity is mainly in the models/textures and the lighting. That doesn't necessarily mean the upgrade is clear in every metric though. For example Jedi Survivor has great character models/textures and illumination, but Arkham Knight's environments and artstyle are better.

>>719188985
They’d have to pay them more and that’ll cut into profits.

Why are conservatives too retarded to make videogames?

>>719179153 (OP)
Is all you faggots do bitch all day?

The division came out in 2016 and still looks and plays better than most games now

>>719188831
Wtf batman game takes place at night??

>>719179528
timmy here. it wasnt me this time

>>719179153 (OP)
I just played Gotham Knights for the first time and within 5 hours I resintalled Arkham Knight. Can't believe how much worse the former played.

You know, it's perfectly valid to say that games in the past were better because they delivered decent graphics at a fraction of today's performance cost. Or because they had better artstyle. Or because they were made by more talented devs who were much better at cutting corners, at trimming the fat. Or because they knew which gimmicks to keep and which ones to discard. Or saying that the graphical advancements of the current gen are way too lacking to justify the increased performance demands. Or that older games were just better.
Or all of the above, they're reasonable things to say.

But as soon as you say "yeah bro new games all look like total shit, the best looking games were made in [the last year when my GPU could still handle new titles] and all the new stuff is worse" you're signalling to everyone that you're completely checked out of vidya and that you don't play new games. Like the fags who say basketball was never good again after [year they stopped following the sport]. Games are overall graphically more advanced now, maybe they don't run as well as we wanted or look as beautiful as we wanted, and when you compare a 2025 technical blunder to a 2018 technical masterpiece then of course the newer game will seem graphically worse. But they are more graphically advanced overall. And whenever you deny this, you're basically broadcasting to everyone that you didn't even bother pirating any new games because you already know your GTX1650 won't have a good time with them.

Just stick to the sensible truth and stop hyperembellishing like a tantrum-throwing woman.

>>719191056
No, I'm not coping, I really think modern games are an eyesore despite being called "advanced" and requireing a gorillion teraflops to run..

I consider a throwaway early 00s game to be more aesthetically pleasing than modern titles with 11 types of blurs, color corrections and volumetric X or Y.
