Gotham Knights Visuals Compared to Batman Arkham Knight

Fans of Batman: Arkham series are not satisfied with the look of Gotham Knights. The web is full of comparisons to Arkham Knight, which, according to the community, still remains the best game from this universe.

The day before yesterday a new gameplay from Gotham Knights scheduled for October 25, has appeared on the web. Compared to what we saw a year ago, the game's visuals have significantly gained in quality. This, however, did not stop fans of the Batman: Arkham series, who unanimously state that the seven-year-old Arkham Knight still looks better.

Visual comparison

A video appeared on YouTube, showing how the graphics in Gotham Knights were refined over the past year. In this rather short video we can see how the detail lavels have improved and how the sharpness of the image has been increased.

It is worth remembering that the version of the game visible in the video will be released exclusively on current-gen consoles, so it was possible to achieve such a level of detail. Nevertheless, the opinions of fans are divided - some are not fully convinced by the next-gen graphics of Gotham Knights.

"There's something weird about the 2022 version that I can't explain. Maybe the reduced depth of field makes me dislike the image. I think the lighting in the new version looks artificial, the highlights on Red Hood's suit are too bright considering the room lighting [...]," wrote YEP.

Gotham Knights? Nah, Arkham Knight's better anyway

After the presentation of Gotham Knights gameplay a heated discussion began on Twitter about the unsatisfactory looks of the upcoming October game (via Game Rant).

This year's title has been repeatedly compared to the seven-year-old Arkham Knight, which, according to fans, is the best installment of the series. Even now.

The combat system, which was visible in the video, was also criticized. Once again the counterargument was that Arkham Knight was better.

It should be noted that there is still some time left until the release of Gotham Knights, so WB Games Montreal can still polish their game.

Nevertheless, if according to some players the best of the best was, is and will be Arkham Knight, it will be difficult to convince such people to the next-gen spiritual heir to the Batman: Arkham series.
