I like you

Origins recycled too much. It boggles my mind that Era put it in such high regard

Recycled map, enemy variety, gameplay in general ... It felt like an expansion to City's

And the graphics suffered a downgrade, imo

The story was ... Ok? The other Arkham games had stories with some high stakes, but in Origins it felt like it wasn't as high

Cool bosses tho

WB Montreal's character models were a definite upgrade. Rocksteady's art didn't come into its own until Knight.

Art is debatable, so I won't deny it

But what Rocksteady did with the Unreal Engine on last gen consoles, and also with Arkham Knight was mindblowing

Origin's tech was different. Although also using UE, shaders were different or something, because everything had a more plastic look to it

Maybe it was due to artistic differences, and what Im saying about the tech may be wrong, but I dont think that it looks as good as the other games

It's not the Remastered versions of Asylum and City.
Yes it is, they are the GOTY editions. Also as a side note whatever the hell Epic have done to their library UI is fucking atrocious. I seriously do not understand how in 2019 a company can not get a storefront interface working even remotely close to as bad of a store as Windows is. Why do you have a grid or list view that when clicking a game it just...installs? You can't even go to the store page for information in list view.

It's not the same version as the new console remaster. He probably means that.

Arkham Asylum and City are amazing on PC by the way. Those 60 FPS make a huge difference.
The Return to Arkham collection for consoles had remastered versions of Asylum and City. The pc collection had the original versions.
Ohhh I see, I didn't even realise there were console re-releases my bad! Though given the fidelity that was already existing when Arkham Asylum came out all those years ago on PC I doubt much would be remastered. Probably was more the case consoles just getting the PC version.

Great week. Usually I forget to redeem the EGS free games of the week, but I'm not missing out on every Arkham game.

They made quite a few changes but a lot of people really didn't like them. Probably the best change was making the cutscenes real time.



I do think something looks a bit off with the remasters.

I actually really like the remasters. The upgraded cutscenes and textures go a long way to give the games a whole new look. Missed the PhysX effects, however.

Also on a side note, everything and metro 2033 redux are next free games.

Origins is massively underrated and easily has the best story in the series.

Oh I nearly ignored that since I also have Metro 2033, but I too only have the basic version. I shall grab it when it's here.

I still say their art isn't that great. The design of Gotham is solid, but the character designs still are weaker than Origins.
Yeah, Rocksteady's art is bad imo.
their Batman always looked off and got worse in Knight

Jesus those proportions.

Funny thing is freaking NetherRealm made the Arkham suit look more proportional in Injustice

Is Arkham Knight full with Prmeium version with DLCs or not? Because I can't find the DLCs on the store.
Also why Batman all of a sudden this month? PS Plus giving AK and now Epic giving 6 Batman games and there is an upcoming Batman event in Fortnite. Is there an upcoming movie or something?

Somewhere.
God, it is so good exploring Arkham Asylum again. Still can't believe the game is 10 years old now ha ha.

I checked in-game after the download finished and yep, all the story DLCs and challenge maps appear to be in.

Oh sweet, glad they are including the season pass afterall.

I just remembered that Lego Batman 3 has a bunch of DLC too, so wonder if they included those.

Finally downloaded Arkham Knight, man this game looks pretty, 144fps with the config file unlock and so far so smooth. No DRM, and the DLCs seem to be included, (tried a few minutes of the Harley and Catwoman missions, got to 20% of Catwoman's. They seem pretty short).
