AA came out 6 years ago, and I still cant believe we have goty quality batman games..
Hahahahahahaha. Keep playing.
Shame. Well I hope they won't have to make drastic changes.
Last E3 to June 2015 leaves them a whole year to iron out technical issues.

It's the reason behind the delay in the first place actually, it was slated for October 2014 if you remember. Same day as Shadow of Mordor!

So good!!
Yeh the faces are pretty incredible, are there any other high budget games which have used nvidia faceworks before?
I bet Monolith thanked the stars for that.
Not that I know of.
They probably just thanked their bosses.
Oh yeah, they're both Warner Bros. Developers.

The Scarecrow legit creeps me out and i love it. His voice is incredible.
People saying Poison Ivy is ugly are one of the main reasons women are oversexualized in videogames and we can't have distinct interesting and realistic female characters as a standard. They're probably also the ones that complain the most about that very issue. It is quite fucking sad that everytime a female character doesn't fit the supermodel perfect face standards it gets complains for being "ugly". Like... jesus christ how sad can you be. Worst part is she still has an exaggeratedly idealized look.
Anyways these new models look incredible, they finally managed to get rid of the horrid unreal's signature of overly ripped and oversized bodies and it's very noticeable, especially in Gordon. The faces look fantastic too, The Riddler looks like a terribly frightening psychpath.
Shame the writing seems to still be average-bad. I mean "we were planning to take you out..." - "over my dead body" Haha what?

Models are very similar, but no indirect lighting at all and worse shaders.
The weapon seems to have less polygons as well. Definitely does not look as good.
Bro. Keep playing. The Arkham Series is one of the best EVER and should be experienced by all.

My goodness they really have to do something about the nasty IQ, so much shimmering all over the city. No AA at all.
Huge difference there.
The demonstrations of the game running on PC last year had me worried as the frame-rate was EXTREMELY poor despite running on a very powerful machine. Of course, it was still a year away and things would improve, but if they were having that much trouble on the PC at that point imagine how things were on the console side. I would not be surprised to see changes.

This is my most looked-forward-to game this year, and I only own an Xbox One and a PC with a GTX760 card. So I'm hoping the Xbox One version is running at a steady clip with some nice visuals - it'd be a crying shame if this was a technical letdown.

PCgameshardware.de saw a demo of the game running on a 980.

The "rain effects" were apparently amazing, the rain flows differently depending on the physical properties of the surface. I guess that's what Nvidia's "rain effects" allude to.
They mentioned it as being PC exclusive.

Yikes. Yeah, the polygons and shaders seem to have taken a big hit
Not that I'll be playing it. I have too many other batman games to catch up on.

That trailer is PC footage. I wouldn't be surprised if this trailer was actual PS4 footage given the IQ.

The E3 demo was actually PC footage.

The difference in those gifs seems massive. How many other games this gen have differences THAT large between PC/consoles? Unity isn't even that different. If there really is some funny business going on I feel like it's across all platforms.

I wonder how developers feel when they realize during development that these.....next gen consoles can't do their vision properly. Curious how the XB1 version is going to compare to PS4.
I liked the way AC looked on PS3. Mostly because of the art design. AK is obviously going to look better but that's a significant difference from earlier trailers.

That's not ps4 footage, the e3 demo was on pc.

benevolent sexism
Yet another dev was overly optimistic about their own capabilities and the capabilities of the target hardware.
I completely understand that it's good to set lofty goals and then fall short, rather than underachieve, and of course game development is extremely difficult and unpredictable, but it really bums me out that we keep seeing glimpses of amazing looking games that are then downgraded by launch. And it's not that they end up looking "bad," it's just that the devs themselves have provided us with an idealized point of comparison.
I'm not sure how this could be avoided given current PR cycle norms, but maybe someone should be thinking about this. Or maybe it really doesn't matter in the end (as far as sales go) and it's only a few malcontents on forums who really get up in arms about it.
edit: even if that is PC footage vs. PS4, I'll still be surprised if the PC version hasn't undergone some downgrades as well. The gulf in rendering quality between PC and console isn't usually of that magnitude, aside from AA and resolution.

lets hope they keep the PC version intact
Arkham Origins was an awesome showcase for some Nvidia gameworks effects (snow), I really hope they go all the way in this one as well.

Usually not, but the Arkham games always had features on board not even present in the console version. Not sure if this will be the case here too but it wouldn't surprise me.

I imagine it will be. They have had some nice stuff on PC before... so they probably will again.

The PC version will have the same downgrades though.
Yup. Pretty much this.

This is how MOST people see games and is why these downgrades won't affect the sales whatsoever. I mean.... just look at the shit people are willing to believe:
Yes, I forgot to put it this way: from previous "PS4 footage"

The thing is there's no reason to believe it was actually downgraded, more like the shocking news that the console versions won't look as good.

I wouldn't expect the game to look as good as the reveal trailer on PC. How many times has the PC version of a game (that was not made by Crytek) looked miles ahead of the console version? They probably made those assets and then realized they couldn't keep up that level of detail for the rest of the game and so downgraded them. Or they realized it couldn't look that good on PS4 (the platform where it will sell the most) so they didn't give a damn about making it nice on PC (most multi-plat devs dgad). Otherwise, why market the game using the PC version and then show the worse looking-console version in trailers?
or not a lot of people have a good pc to run this game the way it was.
stop acting like everybody have powerful pcs.

That's an optimistic way of looking at things I guess. PC versions of games get downgrades along with the console versions all the time. I can't think of too many games this gen where the side by side comparison between PC and PS4 where very large outside of image quality. Especially with regard to polygons\geometry, shaders, etc. They'll probably have a video out at some point going over all the exclusive nvidia technology, and I'm sure there will be a little tessellation here and there, but nothing as big as the difference you see in that GIF.
I guess we'll find out when the game is released.
