Why does a 2015 game running on an out of breath UE3 turbomogs 2026 games?

>>750592204Having a clear vision helps. I feel like most devs these days are just running checklists for shit they think need to be in a game to drag in enough money for their bosses.Also, no engine bloated with tacked on bullshit, likely optimized/customized specifically for the game. Game devs don't fucking bother with that shit anymore unless it's a quick fix. "Just buy more RAM, bro.", "Just use framegen, maaan."What I'm scared of is those optimization tricks they used just becoming lost tech.
It's been over a decade since developers made proper games. If there's a joke in that fact, I'm not laughing.
>>750592204Passion. It also helps the game runs like a dream because the Rocksteady team actually put effort into hand-placing lights; creating a style the complements texture compression; and then actually leaving space to run the game's physics and other such matters. It's not just a copy/paste of UE5 stock architecture, physics, and lighting.

We're never getting a good Batman beyond game in the near future, are we?
>>750592204It doesn't and I'm bored of people posting it as an example of amazing graphics. It has shirty lighting and shadow detail, everything constantly glows ambient grey, very little contrast besides neon lights contrasting with the grey everything else. It was outstanding for its time yeah, there are several games that hold up better though, Deus Ex MD for one.
>>750592204the rain effect saves the game's graphics. looks like ass without it
>>750594813I mean, it's designed for the rain.
>>750593857I think its beyond hope, yes.
>>750594062lol, retard.
>>750592204Every piece of lighting is intentionally baked like a movie set instead of left up to an automatic function.
>>750594813It doesn't look worse during cloudburst, pollen, indoors, etc. In fact it's accounted for in a dusty sort of appearance on things. You're wrong.
>>750594967people put it way too high on a pedestal but the second those fancy rain particle effects stop filling the screen everything falls flat and the UE3 limitations become obvious. Awful AA too btw that shit looks worse than DLSS 1
>>750596290Cloudburst looks worse. That looks less like a cloud and more like an amorphous blob. Ivy nutting all over the city looked good though.
Nobody has any appreciation for good lighting anymore and how hard it can carry a game’s visual style.They ship with stock UE5 settings. They don’t give a fuck.
>>750592204Game graphics used to be all smoke and mirrors, and the games were built for that.Got a really good rain effect? It's gonna rain as much as possible. Got a really good leather shading? Everyone's gonna wear leather. Got some very nice sand effects? The entire game is gonna be set in a desert. Managed to get some fancy cloth physics working well? There's gonna be loose textiles waving in the wind everywhere.If you couldn't get things to look good when the sun is shining, then the fucking sun don't shine.These days devs just bruteforce their visual style with raytracing, and use the pursuit of photorealism as an excuse for their own laziness and lack of skill to make proper use of technology.
>>750596374still looks better than modern games with their vaseline textures and meme fog
>>750596374Any more examples? This looks like a place you'd never actually stop in.
>>750593754I just watched that episode yesterday.
>>750596374>duuuuuh if you remove one of the best thing it's shitlmao fucking retard
>>750597076DCAU, the perfect superhero universe.
>>750596374let me guess: you need more?
>>750597051>the second you touch the ground
>>750597452This nigga over here playing at fucking 1080p in 2026
>>750592204We need to go back to that crisp as fuck era of games
>>750597452Are we supposed to believe that better textures and geometry if they wanted this to look better were impossible in UE3, Tim?
>>750597578we didn't need more than that
>>750597518still looks like a mid looking 10 years old game at higher res
>>750596374wrong
>>750597768Works on my machine, bud
Never ceases to amaze me how some retards will say something looks shit because they can't count individual pieces of gravel on the ground.
>>750592204competency crisis
>>750598206it looks decent for a game made a decade ago on an outdated game engine
>>750592204Unironically skill issue. Modern devs suck, and they use the powerful hardware they are given as a crutch.
can you imagine starting a graphicsfagging thread and then act like a bitch when you attract actual graphicsfags (read: obnoxious faggots that ruined gaming)asylum and city look better than knight and everyone in this thread is a faggot except me, goodbye
oh good threadi've never played any of the Arkham games, do i just start with the first one and play them all or is there one in particular i should play?
>>750598583Looks like a modern Capcom game
>>750593754They don't call you the batman for nothing!
>>750598886Just start with the first one, Asylum is not open world like the other 2 but it's a much more refined experience. Skip Origins.
>>750597578we needed more of that
>>750598886Play 'em all including Origins. It'll make you appreciate the other three a lot more.
>>750592204>always the same picture every timeYou fags don't play this game, otherwise you would be posting actual ingame screenshots.
>>750599542Literally my screenshot, fucking retard.
>>750599542>he isn't constantly playing Batman Arkham trilogy 24/7 since 2009shiggy diggy
>>750592204UE3 was ahead of its time
>>750599820
>>750599542Okay.
>>750599820>>750599871that's physix, they were at least a decade aheadactually most modern games still don't have soft body physics
>>750592204Not only does it still look great, but on top of that the game world has an impressive amount of props and wall and shit you can tear through with your BatmobileThis game really had it all
>>750592204I'm never gonna stop posting this brutal mogging.
>Do I have fuck me eyes?>No, you have "Let me get away with robbing the Gotham Museum of Antiquities" eyes
>>750600338So many people left rocksteady after arkham knight and when they pulled the plug on arkham beyond, that studio was pretty much fucked after that.
>>750600338Is it really that hard to just make the bike spawn out of view and come to you?
>>750600869Yeah, they all fucked off and followed the founders into their new studio.
>>750600338>looks way worse than any of the Arkham games on PS3/360>runs at like 25fps with stutters on a PS5
>>750601035enjoy sir we work it hardbest videogame
>>750600869>arkham beyondOld rocksteady, humbled by the problems of arkham knight, going crazy on a arkham beyond game. What could have been.
>>750598947No it really doesnt
>>750601183no u
>>750593269>Also, no engine bloated with tacked on bullshitArkham knight had garbage performance on release. The physx didn't even work on top end cards. I assume they fixed it since then but I couldn't even play it on the gpu the fucking game shipped with (gtx 970)
>>750601183you rightcrapcum games have been looking like this since re7
Normalise giving women traumatic brain injuries.
>>750592204why are there zero children in Gotham, both in games and movies?
>>750601528Arkham Asylum is set in an asylum for adults.Arkham City is set in an open air prison.Arkham Knight is set after a mass evacuation.There are children in the movies.
>>750601517Not like Harley could get worse.
