Support NeoGAF

[Spyxos]

The game received a Steam update four days ago that incorporated a new private branch called patch_test, indicating that it may soon receive new features, including a long-anticipated RTX remaster.
Why it matters: Recently, many older games have received RTX remasters with Nvidia tools, including the likes of Portal and Half-Life 2. Therefore, Batman Arkham Knight may be next on the list.

A new ray-tracing update for the game is quite likely because the massive Geforce Now leak from 2021 included a number of projects that have since come to fruition, including games like Tekken 8.

Among the list, Nvidia mentioned Batman Arkham Knight RTX Remaster. Since the game had not been updated for three years until recently, the test patch has led to speculation about a visual overhaul for the game.

Yo! That means the Nvidia leak was correct on this one as well!

 

[Interfectum]

Dat Nvidia leak is the gift that keeps on giving.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Paging ArtHands to update the list.

 

[GigaBowser]

Best garphics ever juuuuuust got better

 

[Mister Wolf]

I would legit play through it again.

 

[Punished Miku]

Actually a smart choice for RTX since it has so much rain at night.

 

[iorek21]

Could look amazing, AK still holds up graphically. My main worry is performance.

 

[GreatnessRD]

It had Gran Turismo on there if I'm not mistaken. Don't let me down, Kaz. Bring it home, JIMMMMMMMMMAYYYYYYYY!!!!!

 

[diffusionx]

It also desperately needs a PS5/XSX patch.

 

[Denton]

I just don't get how there can be RTX remaster in a leak and then it takes extra two years for it to come out. What took so long, ffs

 

[GHG]

Seems unnecessary but I'll take it considering how much they are fucking up with other DC universe games at the moment.

 

[Holammer]

If the RTX remaster fixes the asset streaming problems it'll be legend.

The game was and is partly broken on the PC. I hope they have not only incorporated ray tracing, but also improved the performance.

 

[RoboCain]

Honestly, I only want 60FPS for the trilogy and a decent port of Origins.

 

[Kacho]

This game with RTX would be insane. Can't wait to see it in action.

 

[bbw_lover87]

Nice, i just hope we get a patch for current gen

 

[RoboFu]

If one game needed a remaster its that one. it launched in a horrible state.

 

[Topher]

Day one

 

[Shubh_C63]

The rain in this game.
*chefs kiss*

 

[hinch7]

Didn't actually get around completing this. Glad I waited though.. should look a lot prettier with PT.

 

[Pakoe]

This game with RTX would be kinda sick

 

[Lokaum D+]

My god, that ll look good

 

[drganon]

They should update it to get rid of the batmobile.

 

[Topher]

They should update it to get rid of the batmobile.

I'm probably in the minority, but I loved the Batmobile. Thought the tank battles were cool.

 

[Pelta88]

They should update it to get rid of the batmobile.

It felt like it's own unique character. I hope they keep it and give it all that RTX goodness.

 

[Ristifer]

I'm probably in the minority, but I loved the Batmobile. Thought the tank battles were cool.

I also loved it. Some of the mechanics were implemented really well. Maybe overused in some places, but still fun to use.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Dat Nvidia leak is the gift that keeps on giving.

How many games does the Nvidia leak has left?

 

[ThisIsMyDog]

Even without RTX, this is one of the best-looking games I have played, and it’s raining there all the time, so it’s great for path tracing. Can't wait.

 

[Fake]

I'm probably in the minority, but I loved the Batmobile. Thought the tank battles were cool.

Is good at the start, I got admit, but gets boring really quick. Maybe because they focus so heavily in the batmobile combat.

 

[P:axMagellanic]

Even without RTX, this is one of the best-looking games I have played, and it’s raining there all the time, so it’s great for path tracing. Can't wait.

Played it for the first time about a year and a half ago, and was still shocked at how good it looked.

 

[Kakax11]

Bring it on already

 

[Roufianos]

Fuck RTX, wish they'd implement features from other popular racing games such as dashboard view and instant replays

 

[Inuteu]

not worthed to replay all the boring batmobile sections just cause of RT

 

[DanielG165]

The game still literally looks current when maxed out on PC. RT with all of the rain effects and shiny surfaces is gonna be KILLER here. Can’t wait!

 

[MikeM]

I just bought it a month ago and have it on backlog on my PC. Great timing!

 

[Denton]

This is false, the game was fixed and re-released a year later and has been the best way to play since then. I finished it back in 2016 and it was perfectly smooth 60fps bug-free experience.

 

[Dacvak]

Jensen’s Prophecy strikes again!

 

[Lumpyoatmeal]

 

[rodrigolfp]

Honestly, I only want 60FPS for the trilogy and a decent port of Origins.

??? All of them are already 60+ fps and Origins is a decent version.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Wanted to replay the trilogy. Guess Ill wait a bit.

 

[Luipadre]

Unbelievable. This is how old now? 8 years old game? And their next game is that shit ass suicide squad game my god it hurts my soul

 

[Sleepwalker]

I launched this game on a series X for a rewards mission and it doesn't really look that great anymore IMO. Maybe on PC at 4k max settings it still holds up, even then a remaster would be welcome.

 

[SolidQ]

not bad for people, who don't play game yet

 

[Lumpyoatmeal]

Unbelievable. This is how old now? 8 years old game? And their next game is that shit ass suicide squad game my god it hurts my soul

Yup, 2015.

If they upgrade the lighting model I honestly believe it’s going to best every retail title out there in visuals. The assets in AK are no joke.

Are you sure? I can still remember a Digital Foundry video where they re-tested the game after a while and it still ran very badly.

100% sure. I also played all the DLCs (obtained for free on EGS) few years ago and they ran like a dream (while looking stunning).

Really need to get a new PC.

 

[TrebleShot]

Some sort of mod?

 

[Perrott]

Some sort of mod?

I think that's just how the game looks.
