Batman Arkham Knight vs Arkham City - Gameplay Physics and Details Comparison

[@headintheclouds999]

I love Arkham knight, simply cause you get the most toys to play with and its the best looking one, yet, my heart beats for "origins", I personally Believe it's highly underrated. That game brought me back the old batman animated series vibes. Loved the art style and villains and the story.

[@Davidscomix]

It is highly underrated

[@motherfuckingbego]

i hate origins

[@calelsun]

Agreed. Even just being set on Christmas brought me back to the animated series too and joker riding a rocket propelled Christmas tree out of Arkham while singing. Truly was an incredible game. I remember going to the midnight release for it. Was the only one to give us a legit actual batcave that wasn't a challenge map too unless we count asylums that didn't offer anything really besides the cool waterfall entrance you had to walk under.

[@MaoriGamerDood]

Hard to believe both games where using UE3. KNIGHT looks incredible

[@gran761]

Arkham knights is using modified unreal engine 3.5. Batman arkham city is using standard unreal engine 3.

[@folgee7368]

Arkham city has one of the best stories, but Arkham knight had the best gameplay and top tier graphics that hold up today.

[@Particle_Ghost]

Knight no longer has the best graphics because of the Return to Arkham Collection. Knight uses Unreal Engine 3 while the Arkham Collection uses Unreal Engine 4. They didn't remaster the cutscenes however.

[@Jdud.]

@@Particle_Ghost Knight looks much better than city remastered

[@Particle_Ghost]

@@Jdud. I played them both recently on a Series X and I don't really think so. Arkham Collection is Unreal 4 while Knight is Unreal 3. The cutscenes in the Arkham Collection were not remastered however. I think with Knight it creates an illusion because there's a lot of rain and normally when it's dark and there's a lot of rain and makes the environment look better. Knight however has far more detail within its world considering it was developed for newer consoles.

[@Jdud.]

@@Particle_Ghost so it looks better at the end i also played them all but in xbox one and Arkham Knight looks better than the city and asylum remasterd

[@Particle_Ghost]

@@Jdud. I guess it's all up to personal opinion. Just because something's on the next engine up doesn't necessarily mean everyone will think it looks better. One good debate would be Yakuza Kiwami 1 and 2. Most people would agree that Kiwami 2 looks better because it uses the newer Dragon Engine, but I personally don't think it really made any difference. The physics were actually worse in the frame rate was limited to 30, I thought the improved engine was a downgrade and I didn't personally think the graphics looked any better.

[@ranuvawinter]

Without question, it is Arkham City. Here is why, Arkham City : Better and simple combat fluidity, Engaging story narrative with plot twists, Best Intro in the whole arkham series with Bruce getting arrested, Smaller but rich open world, Memorable side-quests ( Hush storyline ), Funny NPC character dialogues, Best Villain, Allowed you to play as Catwoman Compared to all of this, Arkham knight was visually stunning but the vast open world felt cumbersome and lacked substance. Riddle challenges were super annoying. Character motivations felt stale. Side-quests were not engaging. Story was predictable with Arkham Knight character reveal being cliche.

[@princethegod0346]

@tobiaswettergreen7383 no shit he said Arkham City you can play as catwoman

[@thearkhamknight862]

IMO Arkham Knight has a better intro

[@Ninja_Reborn]

Great vid mate! Damn, I would love it if they would remaster the older games with Arkham Knight level of graphics!

[@Particle_Ghost]

They did, it's called the Return to Arham Collection, but it only has Asylum and City. It looks better than Knight because they used Unreal Engine 4 while Knight uses Unreal Engine 3. They didn't remaster the cutscenes though.

[@Ninja_Reborn]

@@Particle_Ghost Too bad that one was a mixed bag, and it didn't even come to PC...

[@Particle_Ghost]

@@Ninja_Reborn I wasn't aware it didn't come the PC and yeah it got mediocre reviews because some people were little mad that the cinematics were not redone and it needed a patch in order to get steady performance. The Unreal Engine 4 was very taxing on last gen consoles.

[@Ninja_Reborn]

@@Particle_Ghost All that and the fact that the lighting changed for the worse in some areas, some light shafts were missing in certain places and the whole game is generally brighter, which changes the mood.

@@Ninja_Reborn The default brightness settings were definitely too high, I dropped everything three clicks as one user recommended and it's stunning.

[@I_Dislike_YouTube_Handles]

Personally I prefer Arkham City. The limitations it has makes me feel even more like a badass when I dispatch a room, in combat and predator sections. For Knight however, the lack of limitations makes me feel like I have super-powers, which while more fun, is not what I play a Bat-Man game for.

[@rafaelgautama8301]

Arkham city takes : 1. Cutscenes 2. Story 3. Atmosphere (it gave more gotham vibes. Dark, creepy..) 4. Boss fights Arkham knight takes : 1. Gameplay (definitely) 2. Graphics 3. Side missions 4. Challenges 5. Combat Both of the games has it own pros of "predator" AK gives us variety of gadget to support our battle AC has lesser "invisible wall" and variety of takedowns, adding more fun to it's gameplay

[@TommyLikeTom]

I actually have to make the decision today, because both are on sale and I haven't played either

[@Particle_Ghost]

If they're both on sale then you should get both, they are both different enough to justify a purchase. Arkham Asylum and Arkham City can often be picked up in the Return to Arkham collection which are both remastered and include all the DLC. Yeah Knight can be a little pricey if the sale isn't bundled with all of the DLC. Asylum has the most focused plot. City has the best of everything. Knight adds the batmobile and expands on adding a little more depth to the combat, more playable characters and it has the most combat challenges if you include the DLC packs. The community is pretty split between City or Knight having the best combat. While Knight did add a little more, sometimes the extra enemy types can make things feel a little more cluttered and can lead to slightly more frustration. You end up adapting with practice and the extra playable characters definitely make it go pretty far. I think City edges it out slightly, it just feels a little tighter.

[@jakemooshian2995]

Arkham knight better stealth graphics suits dlcs and most playable characters Arkham city better boss fights and ending

[@kiribetio123]

Love both but Arkham knight is on another level, even in 2024 the graphics still very impressive.

[@coreywilliams4198]

I like Arkham City story more, but I prefer the combat of Knight over City. Probably because I play on a ps5 where the fps is 30 for the trilogy. Combat in Knight feels more responsive.

[@zionharris9432]

Best story goes to asylum or origins, gameplay goes to knight, but the overall game I think city has the best balance. City's plot is piss but the characters and dialog is on point👍🏾, the gameplay is a complete upgrade from asylum and everything you do in it is batman to a tea, the detective work, the interrogation lines and animations, the thugs line's and reactions. It's prime batman so it's gotta be the best for me(plus catwoman is beyond badass and sexy)
