Is that last one supposed to be from Knight? I don't remember him being in Knight or City, but Arkham Asylum Croc looked like this
Edit: Oh right, he had a cameo in City. Still didn't look like that, though
What does image quality have to do with character design?
I always thought Batman's mouth, jaw don't seem to match his head proportions with the cowl.
They don't.I always thought Batman's mouth, jaw don't seem to match his head proportions with the cowl.
Is this...supposed to be an example of Catwoman looking bad in Injustice 2? This really just highlights how great that game looks.
I can't say I find them "ugly". Most of them are not going land a job at a modeling agency, but they are far from "ugly". Some designs are better than others, some are outright grotesque, but I think overall they fit the setting really well.
This thread reminds me of the people who say that Aloy, of Horizon fame, is "ugly".
atleast the arkham game's catwoman is great
unlike Injustice's 2 ... ._.
Thank god....thought i had gone mad for a secondIs that last one supposed to be from Knight? I don't remember him being in Knight or City, but Arkham Asylum Croc looked like this

Never played Batman Origins but those style character designs looks great
That's because kung-fu Penguin is the best Penguin.
This.
Now, I didn't exactly love the character designs for everyone in the first two games, but they had some great designs here and there, as did Origins (the greatest Bane to exist), whereas I literally did not like anything except the titular Arkham Knight in AK (but I didn't exactly like what the games tried to do with the character, which was just incredibly stupid). To see them take the pretty great Nightwing design and make it look bad for AK still hurts (not as much as it hurt to see them waste Dick's character in not just City, but Knight, too. Not that Origins or Asylum did any better, but you get what I mean).
I always thought the designs looked fine in the Rocksteady Arkham games (except Bane, he sucks.)
I actually like the dirty and gritty design for each character. The sort of hyper realism gives each character a lot of upclose details that are fun to stare it. It's fun looking at some of these characters in the model viewer and just seeing how much work was put into them.
Arkham Origins character's don't have any of that draw. They're simple designs that feel easy to draw for some cartoon, and that's it.
You should! Origins is legit good - it's a better City, and much better then Knight.
The writing and characterisation is one of the best things about it - but they better understood how to make an open world environment and retrofit the Arkham gameplay to fit it. The boss fights are all a perfect fit for the mechanics, well informed and a lot more creative then Asylum (though not quite a patch on City's Mr Freeze)
Even it's additions like crime scene puzzles and the bungee attacher was pretty great.
Only thing I'd say is that it doesn't do much with the stealth gameplay of Asylum (apart from a great bit set in Gotham PD) - it would almost be more improved without being so tightly linked to the franchise and being its own thing.
So many designs were perfect in Origins.100% agree.

Bane wasn't steroid Hulk, Croc wasn't a grotesque TMNT villain and Joker looked cartoonish enough to not fall into the uncanny valley.
Didn't mind the designs at all. Especially Batman and Catwoman felt on point
It's a combination of Western character design/modelling (really boxy faces and broad frames) + comic book exaggeration + a dash of Tim Burton Batman influence
100% agree.
Because they actually made her look like a person instead of a blowup doll.Really hated most character designs in AK, how did we go from Ivy looking really good in AA and AC to that? Jesus. The whole game overall wasn't nearly as good as AA either.
Because at a higher fidelity a lot of those older proportions would look god awful. Those characters looked like they were made out of sausage links.Knight fell into the loop of changing things it never needed to change, they revamped everyone to the point where the entire game style changed from what it was in asylum and city,

Same with Harley

Especially the women.
They basically went in and gave everyone natural proportions.
I'm 100% sure Batman's older face was more natural than whatever they had in Knight.Because at a higher fidelity a lot of those older proportions would look god awful. Those characters looked like they were made out of sausage links.

Burst out laughing, thank you.There's a good reason why they didn't have him in the main game - because he looks like K. Lumsy from DK64
Arkham Asylum and City Batman looked like the Crimson ChinI'm 100% sure Batman's older face was more natural than whatever they had in Knight.

Whoa whoa whoa, let's not defend Rocksteady's ugly roid freak tack as a "comic book approach." People's issue is precisely that it's not a good rendering of the comics.That's fine but they went a lot further then they really needed, they could have adjusted limbs and porportions while keeping the more comic book approach but they chose to go the whole hog.
Everyone was still wearing comic book costumes tho? It just now generally looks much more like a movie instead of like a video game. I said it before in the OT but the new style looks much more convincing.That's fine but they went a lot further then they really needed, they could have adjusted limbs and porportions while keeping the more comic book approach but they chose to go the whole hog.
See, those two last faces don't match.Arkham Asylum and City Batman looked like the Crimson Chin
Arkham Knight cowl instead of being made out of cloth is made out of several layers of metal. He has a broader looking face at the very beginning of the game since he's wearing that suit.See, those two last faces don't match.
Looks fantasticOne more WB Montreal comparison to Rocksteady, from the cancelled Suicide Squad game,

Add the jester hat and domino mask, and it's better than the latex suit in Arkham Knight.One more WB Montreal comparison to Rocksteady, from the cancelled Suicide Squad game,
Origin Bane is certainly miles better and true to the character, but I prefer Joker and Croc from A/C/K. The latter probably because my first introduction to Croc was the mutated form in Hush.100% agree.
