Title: Re: Arkham Knight
Post by: Molly on May 22, 2014, 06:13:28 pm: There is a different trailer which shows Scarecrow as Boss-Enemy.
If it keeps the pace and quality of the former games, I'll buy it.

I fear it won't guarantee anything :(

Anyway, something has to change to be changed to make me buy this. Otherwise I could just play City again. I'm a fan of Batman, but Origins was getting a bit boring. For example predator -scenes could be reworked. In Asylum and City they were quite fresh and innovative, but they are rather lame (and easy because of all those gadgets) now.
Title: Re: Arkham Knight
Post by: Molly on May 22, 2014, 08:56:22 pm: Arkham Knight is done by Rocksteady again. At least there is hope for new stuff.
Well, they already got the batmobil in - that's something new.

Looks a bit darker than City and Origins too.
Title: Re: Arkham Knight
Post by: Elmuri on May 22, 2014, 10:50:35 pm: Ah yes had totally forgotten the last game was done by a different studio.

Some small thing I'd also want:

-a bit more lively city with civilians and not fully infested by thugs. Would deepen the immersion.
-Man-Bat

Title: Re: Arkham Knight
Post by: Kalam on May 24, 2014, 10:05:11 pm: I've been disappointed with the slow pace of their combat mechanics.

Also, is that David Boreanaz as Batman?
Title: Re: Arkham Knight
Post by: Angantyr on June 01, 2014, 03:11:51 pm: I hope it will be more like City than Origins, which featured poorer voice acting (no Mark Hamill as Joker) and dialogue, poorer characters, poorer level design and atmosphere and imho an unfortunate tendency to move closer to Nolan Batman than comic series Batman (all the great material City and Asylum was based on), though still a good game.

Knight looks even more like the movies, with power armor batsuit and that ugly tank batmobile. At least it's back in the hands of Rocksteady.
Title: Re: Arkham Knight
Post by: Molly on June 01, 2014, 03:30:23 pm: I think too that City was better but maybe that is just because there was nothing really new in Origin.
What I liked in Origin tho, and I hope they keep it, were those random encounters over the police radio. Those red ones. They were better than in City simply because they added a tiny bit of atmosphere and background with those radio calls.
Title: Re: Arkham Knight
Post by: Angantyr on June 01, 2014, 04:02:05 pm: I agree. There was also less green Riddler spraypaint everywhere (though the puzzles were more clever in City).

But no Dark Knight Returns outfit :?

Title: Re: Arkham Knight
Post by: Angantyr on April 14, 2015, 11:24:02 am: In 1985 Dark Knight Returns remade the Batman image to the dark and brooding Batman that most people know him as today, the earlier comical Batman nearly forgotten. The same year Watchmen was released and redefined the genre. Two years later Spider-Man: Kraven's Last Hunt was released and did the same to the Spider-Man franchise; a darker theme and emotional depth set on a gothic backdrop.

Instead of dark alleyways and gothic architecture it's bright sunny streets with friendly pizza-delivery guys.

Instead of detective mode, gadgets and brutal finishers it's all 'spidey-sense', webshooters and peaceful stun moves.

And instead of Kevin Conroy it's a hip, young, wise-cracking spidey.

I'd pay out for that game.

brutal finishers from a guy who never killed anybody, :/ at least spidey doesn't pretend to be some sort of dark knight you know (jk i love both, both the greatest characters in their respective comic publishers (yes superman is THE shittiest hero and yes spiderman is better than wolverine or whoever you can come up with, certainly thor))
Title: Re: Arkham Knight
Post by: Leshma on April 14, 2015, 10:14:57 pm: Same here. I really dislike dark, gritty super heroes. That is why I was never fan of modern Batman, even though I liked cheesy TV show as a kid.

That new Superman movie has shown us that some super heroes should stay the way they are.

Should I mention that Avengers > Dark Knight imho.

Post by: darmaster on April 15, 2015, 03:39:45 am: superman is shit whatever they do to him honestly, it's nonsense; he cannot possibly lose and if he does is because of retarded writing. batman in the dark way is a good thing, because now he belongs to it, it has been shown many times there and it worked well errytime

Title: Re: Arkham Knight
Post by: Leesin on June 23, 2015, 07:54:06 pm: I have the game preloaded, I got it for free when I bought my 980, but I haven't bothered playing it yet after the massive shit storm I've read on the Steam Community, it has mostly negative reviews and everyone is pretty much saying it's a pile of console designed shite, I kinda wish I had sold the key for it now instead of adding it to my Steam library lol.
Title: Re: Arkham Knight
Post by: Angantyr on June 23, 2015, 08:52:38 pm: I have a bad feeling about it, too. Also got a free key with my GPU.. I'd rather have had a Arkham City key.
Title: Re: Arkham Knight
Post by: Molly on June 23, 2015, 08:59:41 pm: Granted, port has issues in performance. Other than that, it's the known Batman game mechanics.
So, saying it's a console designed shite or Arkham City is more interesting is pretty silly. The core mechanics are identical :rolleyes:

AC was more of Asylum, Origins was more of AC and this is more of Origins...
Title: Re: Arkham Knight
Post by: Angantyr on June 23, 2015, 09:00:37 pm: I'm mostly concerned there's too much Batmobile. And I like the comic look more from city than the power armor movies look in the sequels. But I hope it's a good game, the two first Rocksteady games were excellent.

I am lucky, I guess. It runs absolutely playable on my rig with all the few settings highest...
Title: Re: Arkham Knight
Post by: Leesin on June 24, 2015, 12:45:21 am: So I tweaked the config to unlock FPS and decided to just give it a quick spin. With everything set to highest and all the Nvidia gameworks settings turned on, I seem to be getting a pretty steady FPS at like 60 FPS ( Vsync ), so I can't complain really. I do have a reasonably good rig though I guess. I haven't played one of these games before so I don't really know much about them and I haven't played this much yet but I will probably start tomorrow and see if I really like it. These are my steam screenshots. EDIT: Seems like you gotta click them to see, cba to fuck about or host them elsewhere lol.

FTFY.
It's communicated as a publisher decision. Besides, Rocksteady didn't work on the PC port - Iron Game Studios was/is responsible for that. Small studio, mostly iOS stuff, barely any PC titles - maybe not the best choice.
Title: Re: Arkham Knight
Post by: darmaster on June 25, 2015, 11:28:42 am: I don't get it, why wouldn't they wait for like 2/3 months for the pc port? That should be enough for a more than decent one, and I'm willing to wait that for 1440p, why do they rush thing or wait 2 years?
maybe like add some shitty free dlcs, so everyone is happy, both peasants and pc gamers
Title: Re: Arkham Knight
Post by: Mr_Oujamaflip on June 25, 2015, 11:33:17 am: I heard about that, apparently they made Arkham Origins which had a pretty shocking launch. Why the fuck would you get another dev to make the game? Iron Games aren't going to get any hate it's all going to go at Rocksteady. It's not like the game was delayed for over a year as well. If you're OK to delay something that long, delay it another six months so it fucking works.

Oddly enough I've heard most of the issues come from HDDs. It's installed on my SSD so I only experienced some minor drops in the hour or so I've played it. Haven't tried it at 1440p though so I'll faff with that tonight.
Title: Re: Arkham Knight
Post by: Molly on June 25, 2015, 11:37:32 am: Oh, Iron Games is getting heat.

Title: Re: Arkham Knight
Post by: darmaster on June 25, 2015, 12:06:18 pm: Well those people are idiots; yes ouj, most problems come from micro transition, an ssd it's much faster loading that's why you didn't experience those terrific problems, but laoding new areas on a normal hdd is awful.
Title: Re: Arkham Knight
Post by: Mr_Oujamaflip on June 25, 2015, 01:19:26 pm: Probably why mine wasn't so bad. It was sitting in the mid 40s for FPS at 1080p on my 970. No stuttering but I was a bit disappointed by the numbers.

I'm now about 4 hours in, still haven't had any major frame drops or crashed. Admittedly I have left mine to 30fps as I didn't see much point faffing about until shit gets fixed and I'm on a 970 which is meant to be one of the worse affected cards.

Post by: Mr_Oujamaflip on June 29, 2015, 08:58:02 am: I've been really enjoying this so far, maybe a touch too much batmobile but otherwise really good.
Title: Re: Arkham Knight
Post by: Molly on June 29, 2015, 09:29:00 am: Same tbh. It could have been a very successful game with a proper PC launch. I haven't done much main story. Mostly flying around, beating up random mobs and overall enjoying the great skill point system, the riddler challenges and stuff.
I even like that they put those "challenge maps" into the world, just not enough melee challenges around it seems. I've read there are only 5 melee ones... that's not enough.

And I don't mind the batmobile as much as I thought I would. Those tank shooting moments are rather quickly over, so I don't mind those - more of an reflex mini game. I enjoy the riddler puzzles with the car... Overall, it ain't that bad and you still have the freedom to go on foot most of the time, so it's okay.
Title: Re: Arkham Knight
Post by: darmaster on June 29, 2015, 01:05:21 pm: Srsly who the fuck asked for the batmobile
Title: Re: Arkham Knight
Post by: Molly on June 29, 2015, 01:54:37 pm: Apparently quite a lot of people asked for it. I mean, it is part of the Batman, isn't it.
Tho the melee combat system has always been what made Batman great. I certainly didn't ask for it but I can live with it, using it only when it's necessary to continue. The way they implemented it into the game is okay, I'd say.

Superman is better suited for a Telltale-style game. He doesn't function like a regular super-hero, despite having the biggest influence on the genre. The best Superman stories are not about overcoming crime, defeating super-villains, or exploring the insecurities and frustrations of everyday life. Instead, they're blatant stories of hope in humanity at large. Addressing that in a game like the Arkham series or Spider-Man games seems nigh impossible.

Superman = Real first superhero and everyone else wishes they were him. Gave America and the world hope during WW2 and was a perfect role model for the youth until the late 80s/early 90s when the world turned emo and wanted antiheroes and darker characters instead.

Being the first superhero doesn't make him the best, and I see a comic character as a role model only for young people, when you grow you want them to be entertaining, interesting. As you said it's just a symbol, kept alive for being widely known, but never been developed that much, and that sincerely has lost its usefulness long ago, just like captain america; I've never been a comic reader tbh so I'm quite ignorant, bIt I don't see superman taking interest in tackling themes that are present in comics like the xmen (the mutant vs human, the different visions of prof x and magneto) and spiderman (having to sacrifice his everyday life for protecting the others) plus obvoiusly being retardly overpowered.

I hope they'll make a new series now with the focus on Superman. Or if not then all of Justice League.
All some of the most boring superheroes out there in my opinion.

Superman = Real first superhero and everyone else wishes they were him. Gave America and the world hope during WW2 and was a perfect role model for the youth until the late 80s/early 90s when the world turned emo and wanted antiheroes and darker characters instead.

Mandrake.

but never been developed that much, and that sincerely has lost its usefulness long ago, just like captain america; I've never been a comic reader tbh so I'm quite ignorant, bIt I don't see superman taking interest in tackling themes that are present in comics like the xmen (the mutant vs human, the different visions of prof x and magneto) and spiderman (having to sacrifice his everyday life for protecting the others) plus obvoiusly being retardly overpowered.

This is an issue with the portrayal of Superman in movies and references in other popular culture, rather than the source material. There, immigration, equality, and identity are usually prominent. Most of all, I suppose, the better stories are about idealism at large.

Well yeah, that doesn't defeat his point really.
Title: Re: Arkham Knight
Post by: darmaster on July 26, 2015, 01:06:36 pm: Because his point hasn't actually made a point; what he said is far too vague, it needs to be contextualised. Except for superman, he's always boring lol. No seriously the superhero background can be used wisely as it has been done by rocksteady; the arkham series is one I enjoyed a lot, and not for the gameplay, that at times could have been repetitive, but for its narrative and characters, which means I enjoyed it becuase of the source material they took everything from and how they used it, the batman universe. If the same batman universe had been showed to me only through comics, I'd agree I would have found it boring after a while. So I believe could happen for spiderman, since I enjoyed the peter parker characters (himself especially) as much as batman's and it's universe, enjoyable on a movie/video game dimension but not as much on a comic one.
and kalam did make a point, weather is witcher or batman, a whole new world devs developed or a Japanese comic, you'd hardly not play them for being cliché amd unrealistic (all of the above are)

Post by: Siiem on July 26, 2015, 01:56:49 pm: I wouldn't mind a punisher game. Or a Blade game, neither two would be so overpowered no enemy would be dangerous.

Batman however, is insanely overpowered by the way they write him. He beats Superman, he took out an entire alien invasion alone. In the DC universe he has a contingency plan for anything that may happen... Batman is pretty much unbeatable. As long as he has 5 minutes to prepare. The MacGyver of the superheroes.

Post by: Angantyr on July 27, 2015, 05:42:30 pm: Just tried it for 15 minutes, and I'm amazed how bad it looks graphically compared to Batman:AC, or even just on its own. It's clearly a detailed game world but it's all cloaked in a grainy, movie-like filter, low-quality textures, an awful motion blur (see Witcher 3 for the rare good motion blur), and stuck on 30fps like a console game.

You can edit an .ini for the 30 fps thing. The rest there is supposed to be a tool for, released by a modder.

I suspect the motion blur and film grain effect were to cover up the poor texture quality on HDDs since they're still most common. Motion blur is often used to disguise 30fps as well so probably that too.

Post by: Angantyr on July 30, 2015, 12:28:14 am: The intro sequence was also very disappointing; remember how epic it was in City where you were Bruce Wayne and were tied up to that chair meeting Dr. Strange, getting locked into the city gone mad and freeing yourself after fighting Penguin's goons and climbing to the top of that tower to get your bat suit it's container piercing the concrete just as you climb the last bit, then stand overlooking the city for the first time? Or the intro of Asylum where you bring the Joker in, a long interactive sequence descending deeper into the horror of the Asylum basement feeling something is wrong the whole time until finally Joker executes his plan and everything is turned upside down? Compare it to this one, you're some random cop in first person drinking coffee at a diner then shooting zombies in a 1st person shooter then quickly back to a short Scarecrow cinematic then directly to Batman overlooking Gotham. Just crappy writing in comparison.

Not doubting it may be a good game otherwise, will try to take it up again when they release the patch.

Which would make no sense even if it wasn't for the fact that I've said I think TW3 is boring because of Geralt.

Good job Rocksteady and Warner Brothers. I applaud you!
