      The port from unreal engine 3 to 4 radically changes all the lighting so while set pieces and Some models improve, I will admit Batman and Joker take a hit to their model and look more plastic than before

    • @eichs22
      @eichs22 8 лет назад +30

      foxhound13 what a lot of people are not catching though is that several characters have actually been substantially reworked. That's why Batman's cowl seems to have "lost" detail in the forehead and eyebrow sculpt. A different artist has updated various details of characters. The most noticeable is Joker because if you look carefully you'll notice his suit is actually very different when it comes to the details. The remaster has a new sculpt and texture and when that's rendered on new tech on a different version of the game engine things will look different. To me, it seems they intentionally wanted to subdue the details for stylistic reasons. The original game had very pronounced facial details, this game makes things like facial wrinkles less harsh and, in my opinion, more lifelike.
      My only complaint is that the frame rate of the remaster is locked at 30fps if I recall correctly. That's unfortunate but I'll still buy this game even though I own Arkham on every platform it's been released on haha

      @lorenzzorzt 2 года назад +7

      The models didn't change, what changed were the textures, actual hair simulation, global illumination and bloom, because it's not really a big remaster, it's more of a engine port to Unreal Engine 4, and believe me, Batman Arkham Knight was made with Unreal Engine 3.

    The remaster is...well it's not like they didn't try like I mean they've revamping the textures and shadows, lighting effects, and other effects but the problem is the lighting is weird and bipolar, it's either darker in some spots and so bright in some spots while the original understand that even though its dark in the room its movie/video game dark meaning we should see it, I mean for Arkham Knight the way they use lighting is fine but for Asylum and City where the games are more stylized to look like a comic book it's just off, every character has a weird plastic sheen to their face and skin ultimately making it more like a cartoon. Like in 7:09 Hugo Strange on the left face looks so much better his face has defining lines, texture and hair and eyebrows that looks like real hair not ones you buy from a halloween shop.

      they were also working with a smaller budget for aslyum and made the lighting work as such where they changed the lighting the game being remade in UE4 and that makes it look worse, best upgrade tho is the particle effects and lighting in arkham city. This could've been a great remake had they stuck it out longer with this and made a PC version too using the tools and power at their disposal that some ppl will have spent for the highest grade look in game, perhaps bringing nvidia hair works to console as that's what they did with some aspects already in the remake if you look at the dev tools they credit using while you load in

    It's basically like this: hallways, corridors, and crumbling broken walls and floors have amazing updates in the remaster. Colors and shading effects have been massively improved. In a weird way, things look better up close rather than further away, which is weird because it's usually the other way around. Lighting effects from fires shining on walls and such are more subtle and to me work more realistically, not to mention how well fire and explosions look themselves. The biggest issues are obviously the character models. Somehow Batman's face looks very unnerving in Asylum, yet they have it looking better in City. Why they didn't just use the same model for both games, I will never know. The worst character model from both is easily Hugo Strange. The skin textures are not as good, the reflection in his glasses is too clear and should be more subtle, his clothing somehow less texture, and yeah... I don't want to talk about his hair. It's like that old toy where you use the magnet to put facial hair on the picture. It gets weirder though, because then you have clearly better character models like Catwoman. I don't think there is a single downside to her new look. If I had to nitpick, maybe it'd be that her lipstick is way brighter in color. Honestly though, the skin is smoother, and the suit looks like Arkham Knight. Penguin looks much better too, his glass bottle is much clearer and looks very realistic, his skin textures are done much better, he has some noticeable stubble, and his suit looks amazing. I think the downside would probably be the same as all the other characters, that being his hair kinda looks glued on. Then there are some mixed bags like Two Face. His scarred side seems to have more detail put into it while not as much was put into his non- scarred side. His suit is better textured, but again his hair is crap. Kinda ironic that Two Face is done half better and half worse than PC. Joker is tough for me. They took out a lot of detail to simplify his look, and I honestly don't mind it. I think he looks closer to his look in Knight, and he just seems more intimidating to look at. If you pause the video during the death cut scene, just staring at the two side by side it was more unnerving to look at the remaster, and not in a bad "that looks awful" way. With him being the Joker, I feel like adding more color worked better for him too. It also blends better between pre rendered cut scene to gameplay. The only other visual negative I can think of is the water effects. Not like rain, but the textures for the water surrounding both of the islands is better looking and more detailed on PC, despite having less movement with waves.
    In the case of frame rate and performance (which this video didn't show off), this is probably how I'd recommend this package: If you are a pc gamer, you won't be getting your 60 frames. You already have a visually stunning game, and you probably don't want to sacrifice frames for a mixed bag in visuals. If you are going from PS3/ 360 to PS4/One, I believe the original games were already at 30 frames, and even with some issues with character models, I still think that there is enough there that is an improvement to visuals that you should go out and get it, maybe at a lowered price. Both games as of the recent patch are both 30fps locked, and they are much closer to the design of Knight now. That is also another added bonus that you can now have all Rocksteady titles on the PS4 including the VR game.

      yeah, the environments look way better now but they also built the character models from the ground up and they lost that slight visual touch the game had, the characters used to have almost a cel shaded like tone to them that looked really cool and stylish, now its gone. really only the npc characters look better now, so what you have is a huge upgrade but at the cost of making batman and joker look worse.

  • @TXFDA
    @TXFDA 5 лет назад +8

    The biggest complaint I have is that Return to Arkham loses a lot of the fun coloring the original had. Like, a lot of the large splashes of blues and reds and greens have been removed to make the games look more realistic. Which makes it look less comic book-y.

    • @Jurihan4life

    • @_MaZTeR_
      @_MaZTeR_ 15 часов назад

      Yeah I mentioned this about the Dr Strange intro sequence shown in this video. The right side of his face that was hidden in darkness is now magically lit up, his eyes are also completely lit up (I noticed that the eyes of all the characters in the remaster are being lit up in other scenes not shown in this video to the point it looks like there's two white specs glowing in darkness sometimes), the face is saturated with some light that hides the grooves of his face and they managed to butcher the hair shading completely to the point the hairs look blocky.
      I don't get how you could fuck this up so bad. Sadly the environment objects and particles do look better, which would make the PC version look phenomenal if they were incorporated there.

    The new Version looks amazing. We know that by now but the problem is it runs like shit. Looks like you'll need PS4 Pro and Xbox One Scorpio to play it since this mess of a framerate is not even locked. Looks like for now the PC Version is still the best. 60fps over 20-40 mess.

    • @MaximilianBieberGaming
      @MaximilianBieberGaming 8 лет назад +1

      @TheREALwymario 6 лет назад

      I think parts of it look better, but only parts. It's not an overall improvement in my eyes, as some of the character models don't look right compared to the PC version (my choice of Arkham platform). Joker's hair in the first Titan clip is one example, and also Batman's face looks off. Yes, it was that way originally, but they should've tried to make it look better with the new graphics rather than letting it look awkward.
      If anyone is going to insult me over this opinion then your argument will immediately be ignored.

    The environment looks way better. The lightning, the color contrast, the rain and dust effects, etc. But the character models are worse in the remaster. Batman has a weird looking frown, Joker looks too clean and saturated, Hugo’s beard looks fake and glued-on, etc.

    Awesome comparison. I just got an Xbox 360 version for $2 yesterday so I can compare all 3 versions for myself now. I like the console remaster for its environmental and weather effects and the more authentic leather look of the Batman's and Catwoman's suit. The AA setting outside looks better as well while inside I prefer the PC version.

    The environments look a lot better ( maybe a little lighter than i wanted) but a lot of the face models look like they've been washed over. Worth an X-mas buy.

    Why does PC looks worse than PS4??

      Because PC version is older and didn't get a new graphics engine.

    I love the rain effects on Batsy's suit in asylum, everything else is pretty much fine with me

    The shot where Dr Strange is talking closely to Bruce Way is just an epitome of this remaster's failure on Arkham City. The dark shadows are gone that removes the whole dramatic feel of the scene, the eyes are lit up like a billboard even if rest of the face is hidden in a shadow and I have no words on what they did with the hair that looks worse than with 2011 software.
    It's like the devs just didn't understand that a lot of the art style was intentionally dramatized and adding a shit ton of lights overcasting lights doesn't make it better.
    As others have mentioned, they also slapped some piss filter on the game. The Catwoman intro sequence is stained in yellowing.
    Edit: More on the lighting, when the lights are turned on after Strange heads out, you can see that they originally wanted Bruce to be blinded by the sudden brightness. Now in the remaster, there's barely any difference to normal. Just further proves my point that the devs didn't understand about the artistic direction.
