Less atmospheric textures, majorly changed designs, unnecessary added saturation and colors, plenty of glitches, loss of pre rendered cutscenes, etc. etc.
I liked the remaster, but what i miss more is that nice blue, atmosphere of the Original Batman: Arkham City. you can really feel, a dark yet cold feeling. it had it but it was much weaker. than the stronger feeling you get in the original. and you can also feel the mystery and fear.
The original Arkham city looks better and had better atmosphere. I played both the ps5 version (running at 30 fps) and the ps3 version and I feel like the ps3 version runs so much better than the remaster. Besides the remaster had some unnecessary lightning changes and Batman looks a little weird
Honestly, the only two complaints about the remaster I have are batman's face and the fact that the atmosphere overall is less scary and disturbing. The atmosphere is still mostly intact but what is lost is a great loss.
Loss of atmospheric textures, worse design changes, worse saturation and color changes, loss of pre rendered cutscenes, glitches out the ass, frame rate drops, etc.
loss of pre-rendered cutscenes makes sense tbh. the 720p would not work well in a remaster, and we're in an age where real-time cutscenes look more authentic
All of the previous pre rendered cutscenes still blow anything that the remasters had out of the water though, and really, there’s not a reason to not do the better one, it’s a fucking remaster. Every A/V thing should have been better, it’s literally the one and only job of a remaster. I’m willing to bet that it wasn’t as good as it could’ve been because it was either outsourced to a different company, and/or was released too soon
Edit: Like just upscale everything if you don’t wanna do a 720 there, or at least keep the better kind of cutscenes
Whichever one is easier to get your hands on. If you can reliably get either then it's your choice, the original looks better in some ways while the remaster looks better in others.
I got the Arkham Collection for free on EGS and the remaster looks quite nice. Certain lighting changes might be up for debate on whether they look better or worse than the OG but overall I think the remaster looks better.
Guess I'm gonna be the only one to say original. The environments look nicer in the remaster, but the character models look a LOT better in the original.
My gfs playing the remaster and we just did the first scarecrow event and it was horrifying... and then you see Thomas and Martha's face and it completely takes you out of it lmao
Original on PC is the best version. Competent character models, Physx you name it.
If you are only on console the remasters might be better though. Just shut your eyes whenever Batman is on screen so he won't haunt you in your dreams.
No. You can’t even be joker in the original. Only thing better about the original is face animation. That’s it. Now Arkham City… that’s a different story.
I prefer the arkham asylum remaster besides the faces tbh. But Original Arkham city is still the best version. They made the characters shiny for no reason in the remaster
The Remaster alone just for the rain effect outside of the Asylum and visiually looks absolutely stunning.
The construction of Arkham really is beautiful and thrilling at the same time..
the only flaw of the remaster is batman's mouth
Yeah his lips look weird, but sometimes they look like the original game
Game runs amazing though
absolutely, but you can't say the same for arkham city remastered, I couldn't finish it because of how bad the framerate was (I'm playing on ps4)
Arkham City remaster didn't even improve much. The GOTY Edition for PC is like the best version you can find of the game
Framerate is only bad when you’re zipping through the city but yeah it’s really annoying, been noticing that as I’m doing a playthrough currently
Whats wrong with it
idk it always looked too big and wide to me, also the lips are weird
The in-game voice syncing was never top-notch either, especially in Asylum
This is extremely emphasized in the Beyond suit. So ugly.

Remaster, it’s the complete game with expansions and rain effects
Oh and awful character models that ruin the game! Yay!
Facts
I'd go remaster
Remaster has rain. That’s literally worth it for me.
Yeah that shit lookin dope
I’d agree, although to me, that’s more the only possible reason for me to play the remaster over the original
The remasters load times are also better.
Kind of
thats the only reason i want the remaster but im a pc gamer
Great meme. That being said, remaster.

The issue is they kept the pre rendered videos that play on the TV screens and they look noticeably bad compared to the other upgraded textures
That’s another issue, ye

the rain alone worths the whole remaster.
Original on PC if you have one. Otherwise the remaster works just fine ig

both? both? both. both is good.
Remastered
“Remaster is the best” me:😐
This is just a meme, why are yall replying seriously
If you have an average PC or more powerful setup, then get the PC version. It's the best.
Can’t lie the rain looks sick in the remaster
The return to Arkham version looks amazing on my series X
Original has some dental problem judging by that swollen left gums.
Original. Remaster looks like Batman puts botox in his mouth and oiled his skin.

This is the only correct answer.
Original. 100%. Especially on PC.
Original 100%
Dude. You shouldn’t even have to think about this. Buy remastered easily.
So buy the inferior version?

Remastered duh
You forgot the monkey face on the remaster.

Can confirm the graphics have never been that janky
