Switch has the original face lighting which the stupid remaster omitted. Only part bad about the remaster. Also gotham city not having a bigger upgrade in textures.
Thats because it isnt the remastered version. I dont believe they ever said it was. But i can't blame you for thinking that, some games have. Like Assassins Creed 3 Remastered, even though the Switch version is the original
I have to agree. The PS5 version looks a bit... off. The Switch's color palette has a much more pleasing, inviting look. That it is on par with the PS3 version visually is a plus. My only quibble is that in some of the cutscenes there is some micro blocking in places (mainly in the black cloud scenes toward the end where Joker and Batman fight on the rooftop) but otherwise the Switch version looks pretty terrific for what it is.
Cause it’s not a pretty cool detail is that if you to the system requirements for the goty edition for Arkham Asylum (on steam at least idk if it’s on other launchers)it perfectly fits onto the switch
@@TheBatman39the Rocksteady you love is dead. The founders opened up a new studio, and the company itself is most likely going under after Suicide Squad.
@@Dunno683you do know that this isn't the actual ps5 version, it's the ps4 version with backwards compatibility. i do agree with you though it should make a 2012 game look better
Original version on the switch obviously looks better than remaster. I sometimes wish the old version was ported the new consoles because damn “Return to Arkham” looks terrible.
I have a love/hate relationship with the remasters. On one hand, environment/object/clothes textures are improved. The added rain effects is a nice touch too. One thing I continuously notice though is that many character models were heavily redesigned especially in Asylum. Take Joker for example. His hair is now more healthy/styled, his suit in a little better shape, added chain/decoration, and Joker’s face has less detail/age lines. And the lighting I guess was redone to add greater contrast instead of the murky/almost cold filter the original had. I can appreciate what the remaster tried, but when the original did so much right, it’s best to just smooth out the finer details of the original’s graphics and have that be the remaster. Plus some added features of course
Something I noticed is, this is an issue just for Asylum, Return to Arkham's Arkham City looks pretty good. Makes me wonder what it was that made Asylum so difficult...
Man, this comparison reminds me just why I really don’t like the remaster. The lighting, character models, and in-engine cutscenes completely ruined everything I loved about the originals. Graphics look really good, but the jump to UE4 ruined a lot of what I loved about the originals. Really happy the Nintendo Switch version is based on the originals.
The remaster is not as bad as y’all make it out to be, yea some of the characters models look better in the OG, I’ll give ya that, but Batman himself, the cutscenes, and graphics are infinitely better, y’all get blinded so much by nostalgia.
@@StraightEdgeKnight19stop the cap. They ruined Batman’s face in the remaster. Cutscenes are a hit and miss too. Only thing better are the environments and that’s mainly because of the added rain affects. They rushed the remasters.
@@StraightEdgeKnight19 highly disagree. There’s a few reasons why it sucks. 1) it’s not consistent with his Arkham City face 2) it looks awkward as hell when he’s talking 3) the Armoured suit from the remaster has the original face and looks 10x better. There’s no way you can tell me that the remaster looks better at 2:43 you’re joking
The PS5 version (which is PS4 with backward compatibility) the game runs on Unreal Engine 4, the Switch version runs the original version that ran on Unreal Engine 3 just like Arkham City.
If you mixed the faces and general lighting of the originals and the textures and physics/rain/environment of return to Arkham that would be like 1000% perfect I prefer the rain and colours for B-mans suit in return
Yeah I prefer the more "black" suit in return rather then the original bluish hint that it had on the 360, the ps3 version also had a difference in color quality too
It was a smart move for them to port the PS3/X360/Wii U version of Arkham Asylum and Arkham City to the Switch instead of porting the remaster with new graphics that came out for the PS4/XONE like Alan Wake remaster did (and we all saw how this ended badly), the Switch ended up running these versions excellently. Arkham Knight, on the other hand, had some very visible downgrades, but it's still surprising to see a game like this running on a handheld.
It's unfortunate that Playstation owners will be stuck with return to arkham versions. I wish they just ported the OGs. With arkham origins! That game doesn't get the love it deserves
@@Jacorywoohootheyre not bad. Its just the cutscenes that got f'd up. Most of the gameplay in the remaster looks fine, alot of it better, some minor things worse. Most people are upset at why they just cant have both versions up
Everything is real-time now in the remasters. The original used cutscenes to hide loading. I'd go with the Remaster as the graphics enhancements are pretty good and it runs in UE4 now. It has more going for them than against them in the Remaster.
ps5 version: the Ps4 remaster that added rain and gave Batman a…odd new face design. They also took out shadows for some reason… Switch version: the Ps3 original! That’s great! Never liked the new face designs of the Ps4 version…
i would have never thought that the switch for some reason would fix the problems i had with the remaster. edit BUT ive got to admit: Ive played the remasters again with direct comparisin on my ps3 and bro the remaster are looking way way better. The only thing they fucked up are the character models but the actual game and the enviroments look better.

I agree and even though Rocksteady didn’t make Arkham Origins it was still referenced in Arkham Knight. Also it was created by WB games Montreal and they did help with making the dlc content for Arkham Knight.
@@shadowking773no one hates anything. It's just that remastering an entirely different game in an entirely different engine is a whole other bunch of work and money
The OG graphics looked so much better. You can even tell with jokers hair how much more detailed it is. While on the return to arkham version, it looks like clay plopped on and molded onto his head
I like the Switch version due to being more moodier and grittier than the PS4 remastered ones, Switch also has that real comic book feel where the remasters didn't.
@@cesarcastro2831 No it isn't. I have the classic original versions of Asylum and City on my PC through steam in 4K 60+fps and they look far better than the remasters, which had downgraded character visuals and horrible lightening. I suggest you play both side by side and then you'll understand why most prefer the originals :-)
1:12 i like what they did here for the switch version . instead of the intense light reelecting on the signs it flashes white.. these are good ports - Arkham knight
That's why I prefer play old games in their close to original state. Yes, old graphics and yata yata, i get it. But after changes like "let's change color/light" it starts look worse than it was. If original tried its hardest to hide imperfections, remakes like this doesn't give a thing and as a result making them more visible. Original vision of old games is not always is bad as people want it to be
I like the lighting and coloring on the switch version surprisingly. I feel like this captures the style and presentation that seems to be ignored a lot these days.
Really glad the switch port is just the original 360 and PS3 port. Return To Arkham (in my opinion) was an ugly cosmetic upgrade that completely stripped away all of the realistic looking aspects of the original release.
@@DESTY-N7As someone who has played both versions back to back on multiple consoles, I think I’ll stick to my word and say there’re more differences than just the frame rate.
Is it weird the fact that I think that the game is more beautiful in the Nintendo Switch? Also, I'm glad that the thing that happened in the Switch version of MK1 didn't happened with the Arkham games
I like the improvement when comes to graphics but they killed the atmosphere of fhe asylum with the lighting like this could have been a horror game, I can totally see Miles from outlast in the arkham asylum trying to escape from Zass or under the effects of scarecrow's fear toxin. Even at the very beginning of the game they change the navy for green that doesn't look good at all.
i have played Asylum 14 times to 100% on ps3 and 4 over the years and also the other ones. Im completly honost i like the ps4 remaster. The details ate just insane and the updates much needed but they screwed the cutscenes. the game itself is just better. Im still happy that we get a modern ps3 version so we can have the best of both
I haven't played any of the Arkham games yet, but I can tell by 2:20 alone that the Switch port is way better with its lighting, at least aesthetically. The sharp darkness that covers Joker's face is so much more intimidating than the PS5 version
I asked my brother which one he thinks is the original and which one he thinks is tbe remaster. I covered the console logos with my thumb. He then proceeded to say "the left one is the remaster, it looks better"....
I finished remastered Arkham Asylum yesterday, my first Arkham game, and even though I liked it, I noticed how the atmosphere and ambience just felt off since you enter the asylum
Switch is appearently using a moddified version of original base code in Unreal Engine 3. PS5 runs the remastered version for PS4 through backwards compatibility wich uses Unreal Engine 4. Hope they release a 60fps patch for PS5.
Arkham Asylum is the only one on the Switch Cartridge, which I've always been fine with seeing as it's my favorite of the three. And this video just makes me all the more happy that this is the situation. :D
god what were they thinking with the remaster. The shadows played a huge part in immersing the players in the atmosphere. Removing them completely was a VERY poor decision
It's funny how people say "More hardware the better the game" then something like this comes out and blows that argument out of the water. The switch has a dark appearance to it adding to the darker tones for the game, meanwhile the PS5 looks like someone has turned up the brightness and saturation and peed on your screen.
the thing that looks odd with the remasters is the lighting. the models and everything else is perfect, wish they would've worked a bit better on the lighting.
I just bought batman Arkham trilogy on switch, grew up on these games just wanted to play them in hand held. So far on Arkham asylum and it looks pretty good man
How does the PS5-version look worse than the Switch version? This shit keeps on happening with every remaster that I see. It's so ironic, every time there's a remaster, it's more of a demaster.
well as a reminder, in fact the cinema scenes on switch as well as on ps3 is pre-done CGI which you can simply call videos, yet those of the remaster is changed to realtime rendering, that's why the switch scenes look way better than the RE, doesn't mean switch got some black tech
definitely a preference thing but overall i really like how they brought back og look for switch so def gotta go with them but the thing remaster got over switch is its consistent between gameplay and cutscene with graphics
PS5 Remaster: Somethings look better, somethings look worse. I hate the remastered Joker model (as well as a lot of the other character models they changed)
My biggest complaint with the return to arkham asylum version was batman's mouth. The only reason I have to play that version was because the original doesn't work on my PS3 anymore apparently. I tried multiple copies.
The switch is a direct port of ps3 Arkham rather than the ps5 remaster, the reason why the people in cutscenes on switch look better is that they're prerendered, and while the tech was worse back for things like reflections even when prerendering, this means that the characters and their lighting looks better than in the remaster, which has worse looking characters but better reflections on the puddles and cape and enviroment, for some reason they chose the cutscenes to be real-time/ in engine in the remaster. also looking at the gameplay for some reason they smoothed out jokers wrinkles for some reason, making him look wrong?? all in all the remaster looks better, but the characters look abysmal for some reason
Honestly the Arkham games are probably the only games where I like them better on the older generation from the ps3 then the next gen. Still have them for next gen but I think the models look weird in the remasters
People would of complained about a upres. Virtuos Games did a great job porting the games into UE4. Everything runs in real-time because of it. Vs the cutscenes which are not real-time.
@diamond_dogs Dude!? Have you seen how much work they into Arkham Asylum! It was a hell of a lot! You have no idea! It's night and day. Improved across the board. The only issue the game really has is cutscenes the models aren't all perfect. But ingame everythings better. And they did a fantastic job porting them over. They run better than the PS3/360 originals. And are you saying UE4 is bad engine? That's a new one. Maybe you should play the remasters vs talking.
@diamond_dogs What on earth are you talking about!? If they didn't know how to use UE4 then they wouldn't of even be running as well as they do and they wouldn't have been able to add new UE4 engine features. Arkham Asylum is very impressive with what new things they added engine wise. And it isn't a cash grab if they actually port the games from UE3 into UE4 and then improve the games with new engine features and also include and enhance the dlc content also. The games run better than they did on PS3 and 360 and had world streaming improvements also. The lighting is better during gameplay, weather effects, shadows and indirect shadows being added. They did quite a good job. And the art for the most part is good to me. Also assets are of a higher texture quality across the board. There are some issues. But for the most part the did a good job.
Every Batman related game using Unreal Engine 4 like the Arkham Collection, Gotham Knights, and SSKTJL has been a visual step back from the Unreal Engine 3 Batman games imo. I still put Arkham Knight's visuals up against a lot of today's games in terms of graphics.
I feel so bad for the people who bought the new collection to have the first two games look like they did originally only to see the “Return to Arkham” text below the title.
You have to give them credit for running three Arkham games on a switch. Even though Arkham knight isn’t all there it’s still nice to play them on the go
Btw everyone, the switch version is Batman Arkham Asylum, the PS5 game being showed here is the new remake called Return to Arkham Asylum, they are two different games, you can still play the original Asylum on Playstation 4 though the Batman Arkham Trilogy, Which looks and runs far better on PS4.
both definitely have theirs ups and downs, both look more realistic than the other at times in good ways, the stylistic lighting in the switch version is nice, but the better lights like sparks, and reflections are better than the switch, now if only there could be a mix of both. The game portion of PS5 is a plus, the cutscene portion of the Switch if a plus.
@@lightdarksoul2097 unfortunately yes it is cannon tht “suicide squad kill the justice leag” takes place in the Arkham universe ( granted there’s reason to believe it’s just a brainiac copy) but yup she gives a lame lil speech and shoots his ass point blank
Daaaamn what the hell did they do with the lighting? How does the lighting look BETTER on the Switch? I never really played the remastered version so this is new to me. Thank god the Switch version is running from the original game. That lighting just sucks all the deep dark contrast is gone.
Usually I like everything better than the Switch versions of the games, but the graphics for the Switch might actually be better than the PS5 version because they kept the dark shading like in the OG Arkham Asylum.
i wasnt bothered as bad by the return to arkham graphics, but the game was significantly less moody and atmospheric than the originals and batman's face made me cry
THIS is the main reason why I want the switch version, I always preferred the look of the originals, why can't they just release this port on PS5/Xbox Series at 4k 60fps?
looks better on switch, hard shadows benefit this game a lot, it does look like it was designed with that in mind, you can clearly see that in 2:02, 2:20, 2:42 , 5:56; also a lot of deatil is absent in PS5 like jokers strands of hair, shirt details, flower stains; in the other hand PS5 textures are a step up in terms of quality
I wasnt thinking of getting the game since I have it on the Xbox but I rather have this one thats looks more to the original rather than the remastered one..

This is genuinelt the first time the switch came out on top over the ps5 thats insane, like how do you fuck up a remaster that badly
god what were they thinking with the remaster. The shadows played a huge part in immersing the players in the atmosphere. Removing them completely was a VERY poor decision
A ps3 vs switch version is what I’m looking for.
Found it. Great stuff.
U can find
They basic looks the same
It's funny how people say "More hardware the better the game" then something like this comes out and blows that argument out of the water. The switch has a dark appearance to it adding to the darker tones for the game, meanwhile the PS5 looks like someone has turned up the brightness and saturation and peed on your screen.
the thing that looks odd with the remasters is the lighting.
the models and everything else is perfect, wish they would've worked a bit better on the lighting.
I just bought batman Arkham trilogy on switch, grew up on these games just wanted to play them in hand held. So far on Arkham asylum and it looks pretty good man
How does the PS5-version look worse than the Switch version? This shit keeps on happening with every remaster that I see. It's so ironic, every time there's a remaster, it's more of a demaster.
I think it’s safe to say the switch was practically built for remasters. (Or ports of older games)

I like the switch version a bit more cs it looks more shaded and darker ps5 makes it too bright and looks kinda awkward
Oddly enough this time around, the switch works since Arkham Asylum graphics are old but gold
I guess that’s the upside of the Switch being a little less powerful, it helps the older games keep their original look.
This is one scenario where I prefer the lesser performance of the switch…the ps5 just looks cartoonish while the switch looks faithful
well as a reminder, in fact the cinema scenes on switch as well as on ps3 is pre-done CGI which you can simply call videos, yet those of the remaster is changed to realtime rendering, that's why the switch scenes look way better than the RE, doesn't mean switch got some black tech
definitely a preference thing but overall i really like how they brought back og look for switch so def gotta go with them but the thing remaster got over switch is its consistent between gameplay and cutscene with graphics
Wow the switch version looks soo much better. Shows how remasters need to focus on improving small faults of the original not completely changing it.
No me lo podía creer , pero efectivamente se ve mejor la versión de Nintendo Switch que la de PS5
Is it just me or does the switch version of joker look worlds better?
PS5 Remaster: Somethings look better, somethings look worse. I hate the remastered Joker model (as well as a lot of the other character models they changed)
*_*braaap*_*
Joker: Can you smell the excitement in the air?
My biggest complaint with the return to arkham asylum version was batman's mouth. The only reason I have to play that version was because the original doesn't work on my PS3 anymore apparently. I tried multiple copies.
The switch is a direct port of ps3 Arkham rather than the ps5 remaster, the reason why the people in cutscenes on switch look better is that they're prerendered, and while the tech was worse back for things like reflections even when prerendering, this means that the characters and their lighting looks better than in the remaster, which has worse looking characters but better reflections on the puddles and cape and enviroment, for some reason they chose the cutscenes to be real-time/ in engine in the remaster. also looking at the gameplay for some reason they smoothed out jokers wrinkles for some reason, making him look wrong?? all in all the remaster looks better, but the characters look abysmal for some reason
The character models, especially for Batman and Joker, looks so much better in the original
Honestly the Arkham games are probably the only games where I like them better on the older generation from the ps3 then the next gen. Still have them for next gen but I think the models look weird in the remasters
Some remaster is worst
Like lofus
Prove that the ps5 remaster version is not the best
It’s crazy how much effort they went through in the remaster to essentially make it worse. All they had to do was up-res the original.
People would of complained about a upres. Virtuos Games did a great job porting the games into UE4. Everything runs in real-time because of it. Vs the cutscenes which are not real-time.
@diamond_dogs Dude!? Have you seen how much work they into Arkham Asylum! It was a hell of a lot! You have no idea! It's night and day. Improved across the board. The only issue the game really has is cutscenes the models aren't all perfect. But ingame everythings better. And they did a fantastic job porting them over. They run better than the PS3/360 originals. And are you saying UE4 is bad engine? That's a new one. Maybe you should play the remasters vs talking.
@diamond_dogs What on earth are you talking about!? If they didn't know how to use UE4 then they wouldn't of even be running as well as they do and they wouldn't have been able to add new UE4 engine features. Arkham Asylum is very impressive with what new things they added engine wise. And it isn't a cash grab if they actually port the games from UE3 into UE4 and then improve the games with new engine features and also include and enhance the dlc content also. The games run better than they did on PS3 and 360 and had world streaming improvements also. The lighting is better during gameplay, weather effects, shadows and indirect shadows being added. They did quite a good job. And the art for the most part is good to me. Also assets are of a higher texture quality across the board. There are some issues. But for the most part the did a good job.
5:56 wow. I totally forgot how good the lighting looked in the original.
And the remaster ruined it
@@TheBatman39 Some parts of the remaster look better, others do not
I do remember being blown away by how good the lighting was in the original, it still holds up.
😂
Shoudlve made the comparison actually accurate by using both arkham asylum instead of return to arkham asylum
Return to arkham is the only on on ps5
Every Batman related game using Unreal Engine 4 like the Arkham Collection, Gotham Knights, and SSKTJL has been a visual step back from the Unreal Engine 3 Batman games imo. I still put Arkham Knight's visuals up against a lot of today's games in terms of graphics.
I feel so bad for the people who bought the new collection to have the first two games look like they did originally only to see the “Return to Arkham” text below the title.
Okay so yeah. thank you for confirming I'm not crazy and that all my friends are wrong.
You have to give them credit for running three Arkham games on a switch. Even though Arkham knight isn’t all there it’s still nice to play them on the go
the door is super slow on the switch version, its pretty funny
I certainly like the shadows more in some areas on the switch which probably look like the xbox 360 generation of consoles
In the remaster turn the brightness all the way down (or almost) and it regains some of the mood that was lost from the original
The remaster respects the art direction, if the stronger shadows and the original colors were present, it would be way nicer
Atleast they used the original version for switch. The remaster looks weird af
Btw everyone, the switch version is Batman Arkham Asylum, the PS5 game being showed here is the new remake called Return to Arkham Asylum, they are two different games, you can still play the original Asylum on Playstation 4 though the Batman Arkham Trilogy, Which looks and runs far better on PS4.
The arkham trilogy still had return to arkham for me
both definitely have theirs ups and downs, both look more realistic than the other at times in good ways, the stylistic lighting in the switch version is nice, but the better lights like sparks, and reflections are better than the switch, now if only there could be a mix of both. The game portion of PS5 is a plus, the cutscene portion of the Switch if a plus.
Me who doesnt care about frames and it's about to experience it in my Switch for the first time: 🥰
I hope you enjoyed it!
Crazy to think this exact Batman will be mind controlled and shot in the head execution style by Harley
Is it? This is the batman that harley knocks out thrice and could have killed any time during that but didn't cause Joker
@@lightdarksoul2097 unfortunately yes it is cannon tht “suicide squad kill the justice leag” takes place in the Arkham universe ( granted there’s reason to believe it’s just a brainiac copy) but yup she gives a lame lil speech and shoots his ass point blank
Can't believe I'm saying this, but I like the switch version better
If I could just have the rain from the Return To Arkham remaster and nothing else then it'd be perfect.
5:28 the joker 🃏 on the left is like the live action from Nintendo switch.
Yea
The NS Joker looks more cool
@@KaliU-ix2kf yes, he is
I CANT believe im watching a graphics comparison and the Switch is the BETTER looking game
I’m so glad they brought back the originals but it’s kinda expensive since knight looks really bad but good for handheld
I like how Dark the Graphics are on The Nintendo Switch version
The remaster just smooths things out and adds unnecessary details. The Switch looks better hands down
Switch verison wins for being the same as the PS3/Xbox era.
I like the Original quality graphics on the switch more, like they looked on the ps3. Just looks so perfect to me.
Daaaamn what the hell did they do with the lighting? How does the lighting look BETTER on the Switch? I never really played the remastered version so this is new to me. Thank god the Switch version is running from the original game. That lighting just sucks all the deep dark contrast is gone.
Why do remasters often end up looking worse? That's, like, the complete opposite point.
Usually I like everything better than the Switch versions of the games, but the graphics for the Switch might actually be better than the PS5 version because they kept the dark shading like in the OG Arkham Asylum.
Damn. This proves that Arkham Asylum is already perfect or better without being or getting remastered.
The in game graphics look better on ps5 but the cutsceens are way better on switch because they actually put work on shading in scenes back then
i wasnt bothered as bad by the return to arkham graphics, but the game was significantly less moody and atmospheric than the originals and batman's face made me cry
Good thing they use the original
Wtf the switch looks better in some ways 😱
It's cause of the the bad remaster version, which everyone hated :-)
Because they didn't use the Return to Arkham version, this is the PS3/360 version which is leagues better.
damn they managed to make the ps5 version worse than the switch version💀
THIS is the main reason why I want the switch version, I always preferred the look of the originals, why can't they just release this port on PS5/Xbox Series at 4k 60fps?
Ngl, I can’t really decide. The cutscenes on the Switch look better, but the graphics during gameplay are very smooth.
What....the fuck? I've never played or watched gameplay of the remasters and I've heard about the negatives but I didn't think it was this bad.
So everything is green
looks better on switch, hard shadows benefit this game a lot, it does look like it was designed with that in mind, you can clearly see that in 2:02, 2:20, 2:42 , 5:56; also a lot of deatil is absent in PS5 like jokers strands of hair, shirt details, flower stains; in the other hand PS5 textures are a step up in terms of quality
Original has better cutscenes but remaster has better gameplay especially because of the rain
I wasnt thinking of getting the game since I have it on the Xbox but I rather have this one thats looks more to the original rather than the remastered one..
Conseguiram contornar bem as dificuldades gráficas do Switch com os efeitos, esse sim é um porte decente e de qualidade diferente dos games de Mortal Kombat XD
why do the characters look so much better on the switch
Prerender cutscenes
