Although Its early controversies overshadowed its quality content' Batman: Arkham Knight continues to captivate players long after its release due to its seamless integration of cinematic storytelling, immersive gameplay, and technical prowess. Set in a visually stunning rendition of Gotham City, made possible through next-gen technology, Rocksteady used the new tools available to them to expand upon the formula created in Batman Arkham Asylum extensively; the game's narrative depth, coupled with its fluid combat mechanics, dynamic stealth, and innovative Batmobile gameplay, offers a truly cinematic experience that keeps players engaged from start to finish. Batman: Arkham Knight remains a standout experience in the gaming landscape, which will likely never be replicated ever again; however, With such a quality product that's used as a benchmark for many superhero games today, it makes one wonder how Rocksteady managed to create such a high-quality product, despite the newer-gen consoles still being in their infancy upon release. Let's look at the early development of Batman Arkham Knight, Its interesting cut mechanics, the artistic development of Gotham City, the many pieces of cut story content, and the exciting enemy types that never made it to the final product.

The whole arkham saga comes to an end today,well done man
I still have some ideas for some Interesting arkham based content. We’ll see.
🙌🙌🙌
@@WarpingFistDo some other content
@@DarkLord-hl1fi i HAVE
@@WarpingFist And i appreciate that you have
Ngl lie it was never the tank fights, neither their amount, it was the boss fights. The bosses in AK are straight butt, and are mostly tank fights. Banger video (as always)
Especially cause origins had such banger boss fights
I really want to know why Rocksteady didn't have hand to hand boss fights in AK. All the other games had it, it's just weird that the final game in the trilogy excluded them.
@@DannsProductions I guess they really wanted to add the Batmobile any possible way they could.
@@superherochestsymbol1032 It's great when you're getting from one place to another but when you use it for everything it's just annoying. I just wanted the original Arkham batmobile...
Yea Origins had easily had the best boss fights overall.
I'd have expected Knight to take notes from that as well as doing more of the Freeze boss fight from City.
But nah, big bat tank go vroom.
We eating good today
What I always love about your videos is how fair you are when it comes to the topics you discuss, it's like a documentary or a piece of history being looked back on
Thanks. I always try not to take sides, or critique something too heavily.
those batman and ass creed games combat always reminded me of The Path of Neo game that had the same system of multiple enemy combos and weapon combat.
Was playing the game recently and thought “This feels like Arkham before Arkham!”
Still dissappointed that they did not translate that pitch perfect gothic skyline with skyscrapers from Arkham City. The one we got was very dissapointing in its scope and aesthetic.
I agree with you here but I still honestly love what we got. Gotham in AK looks so unbelievably good and it was so far ahead of its time I feel in raw fidelity.
I think the architectural aesthetic is lack luster while the visual aesthetic is quite beautiful. I think the overall lightning and specifically with the neon signs really makes it.
Idk I felt like each island represented each section of Gotham. Bleake island was the suburbs outside the main city, Miagani island was the bustling heart with tall buildings and neon signs, while Founders Island was the financial sector that while shiny up top had a nasty underbelly beneath the glamour kinda like the impoverished area Rachael shows Bruce in Batman Begins.
35:02 I think possibly that fear multi take down instead of requiring *1* silent take down required a build up of *fear*. I mean I always felt that was a missed opportunity because it’s so easy to use the fear multi takedown and it’s a bit op but if you had to be a bit strategic in making your enemies scared, it’d more rewarding and it’d be an another approach to stealth. As well Rocksteady included so many ways of messing with the thugs in stealth so I can’t help but see a possible connection.
I think my only gripe with Arkham knight is the map atmosphere didn’t get enough emphasis like the previous games which gave more attention to these buildings and landmarks but also a weird part of me wishes the map was kinda bigger also I WISHED they used Prometheus which is a missed opportunity 😭🗿🗣️
So sad that thumbnail is not left one, it goes hard
The coolest thing about Batman Arkham Knight is the mods. The best fighting game still until this day. Perfect ending.
I'm happy that people are finally starting to see the good and even great stuff in this gane, instead of people just saying "BATMOBILE BAD!!!" Dear God am I happy to have not heard that complaint in months...
What was going on with Rocksteady back in 2014 and now with Suicide Squad. Especially Arkham Knight they cut a lot of stuff, it's really weird.
Maybe because of budget and time or rocksteady really didn’t have a clue on what their next project would be
@@cantsuggestareasonablename9101 Yeah. But they delayed the game a full year to keep working on the game. Don’t know what they were doing but even the PC version was horrible from what I read.
It might’ve been budget but I question that because they had full support from WB. So I don’t know
Damn, I remember watching your older Arkham videos. Time flies.
Warping Fist Upload makes the day better by default
Another W vid, batman arkham knight is the best Batman gamr ever, but it has so much missed potential.
You said it was the best Batman game ever but say it missed a lot of potential. So it’s not the best Batman game ever then?
@@sonicmoore6196 what ar you on about ?
😂@@dawudabdulali3827
Love the music choices for your videos! They’re really relaxing.
D.A.V.E should've been the Main Antagonist in Arkham Knight instead of Scarecrow cause to me it makes a ton of sense since Hugo Strange should've had a Backup plan before his Death.
Ngl I would’ve loved to see him in Arkham Knight. I found him to be a pretty cool character. Maybe if the Arkham series gets a remake, D.A.V.E will be included
@@josephdent6825 But does everyone want the Arkhamverse to even get a Remake after Kill the Justice League was a Massive Failure?
6:41 I love the music and how you explain the history of Gotham City calmly and it's really satisfying to hear
Oh wow you finally released it!
Thank you!
Great work!
I like the environmental takedowns but i feel like they could've been expanded it a lot more. Imagine if each scripted fight had it's own unique environmental takedowns
Also, someone mentioned you never use the new gadgets while gliding mechanic to take down manbat or firefly which DOES seem like a huge missed opportunity.
I Still Play This Game Free Roaming Around Gotham and Beating Bad Guys It’s The Best Batman Game Ever Made
This is the best Gotham that i saw in the batman media in general but i wished that i could interact with some NPC's like Spiderman 2018 video game and gradually see the city getting more and more abandoned.
I would honestly love a tmnt video by rockstedy or even a venom video game I think they have potential to be good or even amazing prices of video game media but due to how the company’s doing right I think they would try to make an original project to try to redeem themselves
"Knocked Up" 😂, no you were right the 1st time
I love these videos. Thank you for making them bro
Thank you for this amazing video. I love your work!
Ive been waiting for this video love the content
It might be your magnum opus, my friend.
Like this installment, impossible to top.
Thank you very much man
So hyped to watch loved the previous 2
thank you for uploading this on my lunch break💯
Those Brutes with chain enemy type man. I would've loved the hell out them in combat enemies that can ensnare and throw batman would've added an additional layer to combat and the martial artists from origins should've returned as well.
Maybe one day
25:15 you could also stop their charge with the batclaw or the glue grenade
That intro was awesome
Ok I need more Batman. Can you do a video on Batman Vengeance?
Rocksteady’s last good game. It had its flaws but it was still a great game.
god, I've been waiting for this
W video. Sad that the series is over tho 😪
I love your videos
24:31 bro broke character
The concept art looks a lot more like gotham from the Burton movies
I feel like Gotham felt too small for me I know cause of it’s capabilities but the gothic version from city is my favorite
Cant wait for a video on arkham shadow
Love the videos
Bro intro is fire
The thing with Arkham knight, is that for some reason, the city didn't have that atmosphere like City or origins, and the plot twist of Jason being the Arkham Knight, is pretty much disappointing, I feel Prometheus or even Deathstroke would fit more portraying that identity.
I can't really see Prometheus or Deathstroke using a secret identity just to take Batman on to be honest. Plus, Jason made the Arkham Knight character compelling because he knew Batman secrets and tricks so you would need another character that can do the same. The only disappointment i have with the character overall is that the Knight's knowledge of Batman didn't translate very well to the gameplay because the militia guys were just slightly harder to beat compared to normal thugs instead of posing a good threat.
Fs to small of a city
@@marcelosoares7148 I believe another character that could've fit the role of the Arkham Knight is one massively underutilized in all of Batman media, and would even tie back to Hugo Strange & Protocol 10; that being D.A.V.E., the AI villain built by Hugo Strange. Whether he would take on the same vision of "cleansing" the world or just wanting to kill Batman is unknown, Batman could have faced him earlier or he could've been a brand new enemy Batman never faced.
Would you look into the concept art and development of God of war 1,2 and 3 and the God of war the psp games?
Great!
For me Arkham Knight was/is best Arkham game. Yes, Asylum feels more like a comic book and City has better story but Knight has something else - it feels like Batman movie where you're the batman. This cinematic feeling is great.
I wish they never cut zsasz’s side mission. Al the other Arkham games could never let us explore a lot of him and see the true zsasz because they where Teen but Arkham night is M so they could’ve made zsasz more darker
Nice video man. Anything else we can expect from you and can I make a request?
Not sure what I’ll do next so sure, you can make a request.
@@WarpingFist Cancelled DC Nations Cartoons that aired on Cartoon Network but we're cancelled like the Green Arrow animated series, Batman of Shanghai hope I spelled that right, Black Lighting and a Wonder Woman and Superman series made by the creator of Samurai Jack
HE DIDNT USE THE THUMBNAAAAAIIIL 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
What are you on
I wanna see a remake of this game where they do everything they wanted to do
Arkham Knight to me never felt like was a part of the same universe as Asylum and City. Everything in that game felt different, the art style, the atmosphere, aesthetic and Gotham. Gotham was way more bright and colorful than the Gotham from previous games, resembling Batman Forever Gotham. And everything looked more cyberpunkish with the overindulgence of high technology instead of more gothic and grounded like before. The Batman is build different and most characters too, and i think the high tech suits helps that look. Even Origins, which has a completely different art style, has a more Arkham feel than Knight
Maybe the Batmobile getting stolen was riddlers doing because maybe the Batmobile with the drawn riddle trophies on them so yeah 😅
Can you please make a video on Justice league mortal
Hey Warp! I hope you and your loved ones are doing well. I just wanted to ask you what is the name of the song that you used in the intro (starts 0:00 and ends at 0:16)? It sounds really good
I think this is what you’re looking for? czcams.com/video/LthYJZbEviA/video.htmlsi=xpKeF0AOEjKZWZ92
@@WarpingFist Yes! Thank you so much!
They should not have made the batmobile drivable throughout the whole city. Gotham in Arkham Knight feels like a race track... they should have mixed up Gotham between open streets and dense city streets like city
batmobile got stolen is insane
Before disaster ocurred
the Arkham Knight should've been Stephanie Brown
Damn was hoping he went with the left picture for thumbnail 😭
Deleted it accidently. Truly a shame.
A big rip for that masterpiece artwork
Dude I wana like these games and enjoy them but every time I play I get bored and don’t know wtf to do
Try to do a la noire vídeo
It's appalling that to this day, no game has ever come close to Arkham's stealth mechanics.
Does anyone know where that clip 2:32 is from “breaking news blah blah blah”
Its the GameStop commercial for the red hood dlc
@@WarpingFist thanks man
Batman Beyond is such an easy follow up to knight. SMH
What a dum thing to do canceling that game smh
I guess it's time for Arkham Blackgate right guys? 🤣
I’ve been think of covering Arkham World or Arkham Arkham
Arkham Knight was a disappointment in my opinion. So much wasted potential and not to mention the disrespect for Hush 🤦♂️ After all that build up he had in Arkham City.
Wasted Potential.
I never could enjoy these games because it’s nothing but button mashing and it’s so damn dark you can see shit
Arkham knight is not bad, it not good either.
