9 year difference between these games

Apparently we have gone backwards

I've already commented on this video on YouTube, but I feel the need to duplicate it here.
The Arkham Knight footage looks to be using maxed out settings.
The Suicide Squad, not so much.

There are zero reflective surfaces in view when the game is chock full of reflective surfaces on my relatively weak by modern standards 3060. There is no light bouncing off the costume material where it is pretty darn shiny on my end.

This is a fabricated lie to make you think the game's visuals - which are at worst on par with Arkham Knight, looking at how it renders rainstorms - are worse than they actually are.

Looking at other videos I found it seems to look same bad as in the video comparision I linked. If you have a better recording you could upload it and show it to others.

I would love to know his settings for suicide squad as well. his shadows are incredibly blocky.

P.S for people that were asking why I turned down the settings to make ‘Suicide Squad’ Game appear worse, all footage from ‘Suicide Squad’ that you see was recorded at 4k on Xbox Series X, this is the only default graphics option

That's what progress looks like :S, Meritocracy VS Quota Hiring.

Multiplayer games are tricky when it comes to this type of stuff, especially the open world ones.
If they so much as gave Harley more hair physiques it would most likely cause a lot of issues

Which nobody asked for, and they had over a decade

So why does a Gears of War game, or Halo game, or even something like Titan Fall have better graphics and lighting than SS? They're all fast paced multiplayer games, and they don't look like dog vomit.

Gears and Halo ain't fast paced and they both don't have better graphics. Titanfall graphics ain't any better but I'll give you that yes it's more fast paced. That's an epic fail post IMHO.

Many of those games I listed are also at LEAST a decade old. There's zero excuse a new release in the year 2024 can't be both "fast paced" and also manage to have graphics better than a PS3 game.

Suicide Squad fails in both regards. There are decade old games, that had far lower budgets, that muster better gameplay and visuals. This game is lazy and inept in every regard. The traversal is worse than RockSteady's own games from 10 years ago. So is it's graphics. So is it's story. There's nothing exceptional about SS, except for its massive lack of respect towards the IP it's leeching off of.

everyone needs to watch this

The point being, on launch AK was so bad with bugs/graphics issues, they stopped selling it. I got it with a gtx 970 card for free but like a year later or so they brought the game back to steam and gave people who owned AK free Batman games.

Still sad at the current state of gaming though.

even tho it was a bad pc port the problem was fixed and it's overwhelmingly positive. that's why it's not a valid comparison to say AK pulled from steam and SS didn't.

So what you're saying is we wait a year and then compare Arkham a year after launch with Suicide Squad a year after launch, yes? Cause if we compare them from launch, AK gets the shaft, pulled from Steam, single reason for the two hours refund window, while SS merely has a couple stutters when transitioning to cutscenes and overall not that good of an optimization.

Arkham Knight had a bad launch because there were technical issues affecting the performance on PC. I remember it well, I boycotted the game myself because of that. But I also bought it later after the issues were fixed.

But now, SS is working as intended and it's just bad by design. Maybe if they tried to do something graphically impressive it might have performance issues. But instead they skip on architecture and build the city out of minecraft boxes. The ocean shader is a joke.

Games from 2010-2016 were truly a completely different universe compared to games coming out today.

Imagine comparing a single player game with another game that can do four players co-op. Also the gameplay is lot more fast paced in Suicide Squad, there's guns and melee, faster traversal movements, meanwhile in Arkham Knight there's only slow paced melee and few gadgets. Smoothbrains on full display once again. Not saying Suicide Squad is better, it's not but you cannot really compare the games as they were clearly built with different systems in mind.

Okay but we can compare the appearance of the game. In 9 years, or 15 years in arkham asylum's case, why does this game look worse? 9 years is a lot of time to add proper shadows and reflections.

it doesn't look worse. the models and textures are some of the best I've ever seen. The character animations especially the facial animations are incredibly well done. That video isn't on high settings. his shadows don't look right.

Have you seen the Arkham Knight comparison video?
