    My one problem with Arkham Knight’s map design is that most of the buildings were too short. The biggest buildings are Wayne international plaza, Wayne Enterprises and the Grand avenue station. I was expecting a Gotham similar to that of the backdrop in Arkham City. I think it would be a really cool experience weaving and gliding through gothic skyscrapers so high in the air. If Arkham Knights Gotham tried to incorporate more of that Batman The Animated Series verison of Gotham it would’ve arguably been a lot more memorable and in parr with the other games. I also wish Arkham Knight had the Batcave and civilians in it too. I also wish it had more dark alleys of course we did get that to an extent. Nonetheless still an amazing map design and I understand why they couldn’t make the skyscrapers taller because it was probably too hard and they chose to make up for it by crafting a map with so much more detail and Im thankful for that.

    Arkham Asylum/Island had the best atmosphere because you are trapped in an insane asylum.

    Arkham Knight was the most open and biggest map design. It still looks good in 2023.

    It's a tie between Asylum and City.
    Asylum is kinda hard to compare to the others given the open world size, but where it really shines is its horror comic book style design and variety (Intensive Treatment, Mansion, Botanical Gardens, Caves, Medical Facility, Penitentiary, etc.).
    As for City, it has the most original open world design of the sequels since it really feels like you're stuck in a city sized prison rather than just another free-to-roam city surrounded by water. Add to that how its sectioned off between the Tyger controlled area and the thirds controlled by Penguin, Two Face and Joker and it really feels like you're in the middle of a miniature war zone.

      @lakshaykochhar6799 Před 4 měsíci +9

    • @juanaguilera804
      @juanaguilera804 Před 4 měsíci +9

      Adding to the miniature warzone feeling in City, the game helps with that showing how the gangs advance through the quarters during the game: After Penguin's defeat at the museum, Two Face's and Joker's gangs take The Bowery and the metro areas, the Amusement Mile is crowded with Joker's henchmen right before going to get the cure from Mr Freeze (noting that before that moment you can't pop the twelve Joker balloons on that area) while before it was mostly empty and at the end of the game the base of Wonder Tower is taken by TYGER guards and you see the corpses of the Joker's henchmen who were there before. It was a very well constructed game and it shows every minute you play it, specially when you start observing the subtle details.

  • @devilsorchard1449
    @devilsorchard1449 Před 5 měsíci +25

    They're all fantastic in their own way, but I have to give it to Asylum. The thing that always stood out to me - even when I was younger and didn't have the words for it - was just how unbelievably heavy the atmosphere is. The locations are not just a pretty backdrop for a game. Almost every inch of the island is chalked full of incredible world building, perfectly setting the tone that it is not a place you want to be. All of the decay on the buildings, from the dirty carpets and chipping paint of the mansion to the cracked tiling in the medical center, perfectly details an island that is scarred due to its history.
    The way I see it, Arkham Asylum isn't just a map for Batman to traverse. It is its own living, breathing character that is the centerpiece of the story. I feel as though the more intimate and subdued nature of the map has a lot to do with this. The other three games lose this oneness with the setting, as the devs were clearly more focused on creating an open world sandbox. Which is totally fine, I love those games. But the feel of their respective maps can't even begin to hold a candle to Asylum. In my opinion, it's a no contest.
    As a side note: I'd give Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth a read if you haven't already. From what I can gather, it served as the primary inspiration for Rocksteady when creating their version of the Asylum.

    Asylum is the best map design because by virtue of being so small, there is truly a bunch of detail packed into every single inch of the map, the game in and of itself will always be the greatest love letter from video-game developers to comic book fans, Arkham Asylum is a game made for comic book readers, if you've read at least a tenth of Batman's canon that was avialable in 2009 , the game just felt...familiar, you feel at home, it's comic books into a motion picture format.
    I read a comment suggesting that Arkham City has the best map because you can quickly memorize it without needing to open the map, Arkham Asylum to comic book fans feels like a place you already know your way around on your first playthrough, for this and much more, Arkham Asylum will always be the best game in the franchise to me, of course it has the best map.

    Aside from the bridge, I really like Origins’ map. There’s lots of dark alley ways and the city genuinely doesn’t feel safe from the snow storm, to corrupt cops, and criminals. Also there’s random acts of crime going on. I like how the buildings are more close quarters than Knight’s Gotham. It’s like they’re stacked on top of each other as Gotham should feel overpowering and intimidating from the streets.

    I've been replaying all the Arkham games on PC recently. With Origins, I really didn't enjoy it as much as the others. A big part of that was the "Dark Knight Challenge" system. Playing it again on PC with mods, and console commands to get all the upgrades, it was a much more enjoyable experience. I don't know why, but I feel like when I originally played it on 360, I didn't really appreciate a lot of the game, the map included. Like you said, it does reuse some assets from City. However with the weather, combined with the architecture of the buildings, I feel like it really reminds me of the aesthetic of the Burton Batman movies.
    Going from Origins to Knight, I feel like there is a very stark difference in the 2 maps in regards to the vibe. The map in Knight is beautiful and immersive. However it doesn't feel dangerous. Not like something nefariously bad lurks around every corner. Gotham in Origins has that feeling. Gotham in Knight feels like it might not be a too bad of a place to visit as long as you don't stay past dark. The map in Origins feels dangerous and oppressive.

    Personally my favorite map is Arkham city and I say it’s one reason that takes the cake, the world building levelution. Arkham Asylum had this but not at the scale of City.
    What do I mean by this? Levelution in Arkham games to me is how the maps change throughout the games, you revisit a lot of areas throughout the games and often times there are distinct changes, in Asylum you can see the mansion section and other sections fall under the control of jokers men, see Joker stick snipers in the towers, the insane patients come out, and ivy rip the island apart, & through all that joker builds his face on the visitor center.
    However in City the world takes full advantage the ensuing gang war, every faction has their turf, Joker has the Steel mill and Amusement Mile, Two face controls the Bowery and Courthouse, & eventually penguins turf, and Penguin has the whole museum district as an impressive fortress. Through the game factions will move around and do certain actions that effect the over world, the obvious example being Joker & Twoface putting the squeeze on the weakened Penguin, but a better example could be when Joker makes his gang advance into twig face territory while searching for Freeze and that two faces men can be seen on rooftops trying to stay out of Joker’s way while they plan a counter offensive. It’s stuff like that I admire while playing Arkham City, being able to stop and listen to Jokers men terrorize standard inmates or find the stranded penguin mercs outside of Jokers turf or rooting out the Penguin Loyalists in the museum.

    Seeing Origins cleaner alive city and seeing it 10 years later in Arkham city but, dead, dirty, and corrupted, really makes you question if Batman really makes Gotham a better place. If you think about it’s him who brings out the worst of villains. They do the most horrid shit to get his attention or one up him.

    asylum has been my favourite game of all time since it came out, and I believe that its map design (and story, honestly) is the best of the series - but I assumed I was in the vast minority with that take! especially going up against city and knight; cool to see you had similar thoughts to mine

    As a kid when I first played Arkham Asylum I kind of liked the map but I didn't fully understanding concepts like the difference between "penitentiary" and "intensive treatment"
    Then when I played the other games with the bigger maps I was so excited because I could explore more
    Now that I look back, though, I understand that bigger doesn't mean better even though I still really like the map from Knight which has so many iconic points and is overall majestic

It was huge with unique buildings that stood out and had a purpose. Wish we could've gotten something more similar to Arkham City's Gotham.

    Great stuff.
    Asylum is definitely the best when it comes to atmosphere. I'm not used to considering that when it comes to map design, since I'm more of a nuts and bolts kind of player. For me, traversal and exploration are higher priority when it comes to evaluating it.
    City is great, but it can get tiring having to cross the entire map.
    Origins isn't as good, especially with the bridge being as large as it is, along with the issues you mentioned.
    Knight is probably the best in terms of exploration and traversal, but that's also because of the mobility upgrades compared with the other games.
    So it really comes down to personal preference when it comes to the criteria for evaluating. Atmosphere is another layer that I consider separately from layout.

    Asylum (atmosphere especially the medical facility, croc's lair, Botanical gardens and penetentiary and the catacombs showing us the asylum's decaying foundations)
    City (The Steel Mill, Museum, wonder city, wonder tower and the court house) the perfect showcase of Gotham city's decay the history of Gotham with old Gotham being built on top of.
    Origins (it cleaned up the old slums but it showcases the corruption of Gotham especially the GCPD mission)
    Knight (it represents the future and hope of Gotham but it's still Gotham with it's winding roads and tight alleyways)

    Just finished replaying Arkham asylum and I realized that I took that game for granted when I was younger because I tried to speed run it the first time I played it to get to Arkham city faster and man I didn’t realized how good and creepy the environment of the asylum was, there were parts where I felt creeped out walking around because there were no goons or security, just Batman’s footsteps or alarms going off or nothing

  • @TheOne-ed5ul
    @TheOne-ed5ul Před 3 měsíci

    I personally like city the best because each villain kind of has their own building if not section of the map it’s a big enough map to do plenty of things in and it’s easy to remember where you are going because of the way they split up the map with the different villains and their territory

  • @lakshaykochhar6799
    @lakshaykochhar6799 Před 4 měsíci +2

  • @bearbbb12

    I think it depends on the mood you’re in when it comes to which is the best map. If you want closed in, eerie, and dramatic then it’s asylum but if you want open world, lots of locations, and rainfall then it’s knight etc. Overall it depends imo

  • @israelledesa1266
    @israelledesa1266 Před měsícem

    Tbh the games remind me of the generations of movies. You have asylum like the 90 films, you have city and Nolan’s, and then you have Arkham knight and the Batman. Everytime a game or movie came out it was divisiveness, but I like to just love them all for what they are and how I can go to any of them and experience Batman in whatever way I want. Arkham knight is great at making you feel like the Batman , evening the odds , fighting on your terms, and defending a whole city ripe with lore that fills it with life. Asylum is excellent at experiencing what it is to fight against Batman’s rogues in a setting that is horrifying and is also my personal favorite. City is the staple mark of this series for good reason, every place is so memorable for sure and the map is fun to free roam. As much as I love the Batmobile it just felt like it was required far too often and with its design limited it to skins specific to it otherwise you couldn’t utilize it full potential and I really love just cruising in the 69 Batmobile man it’s sick 😂 my point being no matter which is the best, I think they all have something special about them that makes them the best at allowing you to experience Batman exactly how those games are designed around him being. No matter which you play though , it’s always a great time I fucking love these games man they’re timeless. I’m replaying the trilogy rn and am getting origins again for my pc soon, but fr though can we talk about Lego Batman’s level design being god tier ? The first one is my childhood man haha

  • @laffin4033
    @laffin4033 Před 5 měsíci +1

    Personally I think Asylum had the best map design mainly because of how you go from section to section of the island as you progress the story. May be bleak after you beat the game but even then it’s still atmospheric

  • @inshal6420

    The background of Arkham City. I would turn gravity off and explore that area. In my headcanon that part of gotham is another part of Gotham and we don’t see it in Knight. Bruce Wayne has 3 towers in Knight. Wayne Tower, Wayne International plaza and the Wayne Enterprise building from the background of Arkham City.

  • @SpyGaming2005

    My favorite is asylum and my least favorite that i was surprised was not brought up in this video was the god damn bridge that was unnecessarily long, how the top of it was arkham city being reused, plus how origins changed the inside of sionis steel mill cause the area you use to get to the drug lab in the basement is an elevator shaft in city, and how joker and harley met in blackgate instead of the asylum, but other than those its good, to get to certain areas in knight like the pretty dolls parlor, langstroms lab, and the mall entrance to arkham knight hq was a little difficult while it was much easier to navigate asylum and city

    I absolutely loved origins map whenever I played it as a kid, the idea of people in their homes feet away from you, as you’re beating the shit out of criminals on their rooftop. However, traveling across the map was terrible and had they left out fast travel, it would have been nearly unplayable. The amount of side quests made traveling that specific map more enjoyable as well.
