Spiderman 2 is great, about the same as the games in the past as far as I've played, just better graphics and story. Arkham games are still up there, but are getting a bit tiresome from all that they've been making. They should make another superhero game for a change.

Arkham knight has lots of interiors with interactable named NPCs and quests inside such as GCPD, the clock tower, and the two large airships. All are enterable at any point in the story without loading screens. You also get the batmobile which adds a new wrinkle to the usual arkham formula by adding vehicular combat and navigation. This resulted in an open world that is multi layered with complex roads and underground levels; all accessible without loading screens. The main mission in spiderman is still using separate states where you are locked in a specific location and locked out of doing side activities. Even a simple phone call in Spiderman locks you out of exploring the map as arbitrary "leave the mission" messages prevent you from doing stuff. Arkham knight's main missions are always active, meaning you can still pursue other activities despite having another main objective active. For example, I can have poison ivy inside the batmobile as part of an ongoing story, but I can still use the batmobile in doing other side activities or choose to leave her and go to the other side of the map and complete other side activities; all seamless without getting out of any mission states. The world design is much more complex in batman. You actually get a city with enterable buildings that have multiple floors with functioning elevators, The open world in spiderman is still using the ubisoft template with inorganic checklists of mindless repetitive collectibles. arkham knight does side quests organically where villains and activities are already populated in every facet of the game environment, meaning sidequests do not have obvious flashing icons that gets triggered by loading screens, but are diagetically embedded in the environment such as ominous music playing, a smoke coming from a building, and a creative jump scare during open gameplay. The riddler collectibles also transform Gotham into a huge puzzle playground where level design and the game mechanics are utilized together to create unique challenges that are mechanically driven, and not by quicktime events. Mission design in arkham knight is also devoid of boring walking-only sections but filled with bespoke mechanics that translate batman's other facets into actual game mechanics, not through quicktime events. Combat is much more visceral in Batman with better animation and sound feedback and a more creative utilization of gadgets. More than one enemy can attack Batman at the same time and counter attacks are uniquely animated depending on the number of attackers. Spiderman only has a dodge/parry and never counters. In addition, arkham knight has an exceptional dual character combat system where players can switch seamlessly between two characters in performing one single combo string. The enemy AI is far more complex in Batman. There are multiple levels to their level of alertness. They can be calm, cautious, nervous, and terrified. All these emotions result in different gameplay scenarios as enemies try to adapt to Batmans traps and techniques. This is a far cry from spiderman where AI is simply binary. Batman Arkham simply immerses you in what it's like to be batman in minute detail. Enemies also have their own idle dialogue which adds personality and charm to the otherwise mundane combat encounters.

Keep in mind that current gen gamers debated on all games running 60 frames/second, or all games running 30 frames/second with a massive graphics improvement. Gamers voted that they wanted all games to run at 60 frames, even if it meant actual graphical improvement will be less big.

@sumnahlennon5449

Keep in mind that if current gen games were designed ground up to run at 30 frames, the graphical fidelity would be more than twice as great. Batman Arkham fans seem completely clueless. There are plenty of great looking games last gen like Last Of Us 2, Death Stranding, RDR 2. But those games were designed purely for 30 frames per second gameplay. On console, getting a game to run at 60 uses a significant amount of horsepower which makes less room for visuals enhancement.

Both games are great but the fact that batman arkham knight can still compete in game comparisons even if it has been 8 years, is awsome.

Excelent video, its crazy how advance in time was Arkham Knight. The only thing that makes me sad is that Gotham is not a living city like in Spider-Man 2, even though they are NPCs without any expression. Anyway, two games are on my top 10.

One element that was left off on the combat section was the dual teamwork as there are occasions where Peter would cross paths with Miles (or vice versa) and they would take down multiple enemies together, which the same can be said for Batman as he would fight alongside Robin, Nightwing and Catwoman when fighting against the criminals of Gotham City. Not to mention that both heroes would have a dual takedown with their respective allies and have different interactions with them as well.

⁠@@rowanstuart7150 But he’s right lol that’s literally the point of the video. I’m not gonna lie watching this makes me feel embarrassed to play SM2. I recently got the remastered versions of Arkham asylum/ city and then played Arkham knight which still holds up on ps4. It was leagues better than SM2 imo but this comparison video kind of proves that. That story, combat, stealth and details are all better than SM2. Sm2 has traversal which is better than it’s last games but that’s about it. The suits in SM2 are terrible and there’s literally like 10 mcu suits. Why not just have all the suits from the last game? The side missions in SM2 are terrible and even after that the game is dead after endgame. SM1 and MM had more content. I could go on and on. SM2 is good at best

Just my personal opinion but: Game details - AK Highest points - AK Stealth - AK Texture quality - AK Traversal (car, swinging, gliding) - AK/ SM2 Gameplay mechanics- AK/SM2 Ability to… swim - SM2 Parkour/ movement system - SM2 The only reason I give traversal and gameplay a draw is because both games are absolutely phenomenal and capture the essence of the respective characters better than anything else I’ve ever played, but it’s hard to compare one who’s movement system is based around the fact that the character literally fucking leaps over buildings, to the other who spends a lot of time on street level, quietly moves around and screams around in a tank or glides over rooftops, from that perspective the SpiderMan mechanics of being fast and agile with flowing parkour and lots of quick acrobatics and raw spectacle will always win out purely because it’s so satisfying visually to watch and is possibly the mot immersive traversal system in any game, but on the flip side, from a gameplay options point of view, Knight gives you multiple options to enter a situation of either full on combat, stealth, surveying the area and marking out enemies whilst disabling their weaponry or turning it against them, or just full on charging straight through the wall in the Batmobile. So for me it’s a draw on the traversal and gameplay mechanics because whilst both win out over each-other in certain aspects, ultimately they come to a draw because they’re both as good as each-other

It is incredible that a game from almost a decade ago (8 years) can be compared and live up to certain aspects of a current game. And although the comparison varies in certain game mechanics since they are two different characters and with different settings, there is a lot to talk about about the amazing work of Rocksteady and the love with which they worked on the saga that revolutionized superhero games.

You dropped this 👑

In my opinion, Fear Multi-Takedown is the most awesome takedown in Arkham Knight. It's too bad that Spidey doesn't have an equivalent move.

Keep in mind these games are 8 years apart but it’s still a competition 💀

I’ve really enjoyed these comparisons between the two games. It really goes to show how influential the Arkham games were on Spider-Man. One brief observation. It seems that whenever Arkham Knight does something better, you make sure to highlight it, but don’t do the same for Spider-Man, which ends up making the comparison feel a little biased. I feel like the video would settle better if both games were given opportunities to shine in the areas where they genuinely do better things. Just a thought. Keep up the good work.

Both Insomniac and Rocksteady did perfect Job with their respectful characters and their games

Its a real shame we will never have an Arkham installment on current gen... I think we would all be blown away. And I'm glad Insomniac (and many other games) pays great homage to arkahm series with making great use of its mechanics. Water in arkham knight is one of the best in gaming ever. The ONLY issue I hate about arkham knight is lack of good AA solution. The shader sub-pixel shimmering is annoying as hell. One aspect Akham KNight is clearly ahead of Spider-man 2 is art direction - the gothic noir vibe of the city is so immersive and fitting.

great comparison

Arkham Knight so ahead of its time. Didn’t even know you could do this 9:07

Play Gotham knights ( me secretly looking for a co-op buddy)

Arkham Knight has that music tho. Its just glorious when that movie esque score is playing while you're smacking down on thugs.

Arkham Knight holds the place for best art direction/graphical details and gameplay amongst all superhero games, that's why people still come back to this game and why it's such a timeless classic

Both are completely different games but both are brilliant in what they’re trying to achieve so for me there’s no comparison here. Spiderman 2 may be very little on the details and methodical gameplay that Arkham Knight excels in but instead doubles down on the explosiveness, constant entertainment and the open world aliveness that Arkham Knight lacks in my opinion.

Parkour, gliding and traversal are the obvious factors on which game had more attention to detail and that alone shows Arkham Knight on top.

I always thought Insomniac Games studied Batman Arkham Knight extensively before developing Marvel's Spider-Man 🙄

I can't believe I witnessed a fluid parkour sequence from a Batman game, gotta give it to the guy 😮😮😮

Arkham knight would be really good but it lacks good boss fights. Kinda funny that the best boss fight in the game was DLC with killer croc. The only real boss fight in story we had was pyg and one of the infected jokers.

I kinda like that Batman doesn’t have civilians in Gotham he isn’t very social like Spider-Man so it’s no wonder the Arkham games take place in a night😂

My only gripe with the Arkham Knight is that stupid cloudburst boss fight and how they handle Cobra Tanks. I did hate the Bat Mobile chase scenes but I realized how horrible I’m handling the driving mechanics (I can use breaks for crying out loud😅) and see it now in a different light. All the rest are just brilliant conclusion to Asylum and City and it’s crazy how the environment interacts. The team squeezed out and utilized to the best all what Unreal Engine 3 can do. Graphics are just third for me (it always has to be gameplay first, story second, sometimes I can place both story and graphics equally or interchangeably) and I can truly appreciate that from what Arkham Knight did. Also I got trauma ingrained whenever Batman grapples upward in every building, if you know what I mean.

I would've loved if you had included the Manbat's jumpscare during the grappling section.

Despite the fact that SM2 obviously is graphical improvement since it's on a newer system, I think what visually lacks in that game and Arkham games have an abundance of is style. I think Marvel heroes always kind of suffered a bit due to them being set in regular cities, so the city itself lacks a bit of personality. Gotham however is like the coolest possible setting I've ever seen, only rivaled by ironically enough Metropolis, which guess again, is another DC superhero

Surprisingly, Arkham Knight's visuals are more stunning and it feels like the engine used in this game fits the ambiance of what Gotham should be. Dark. Mysterious. Dangerous. Plus, th rain animation is actually good. Spider-Man 2, on the other hand, felt like great as well but only thing is, the graphics of both games doesn't have that huge gap. And as if Spider-Man 2's visuals and animation was like similar on other AAA games 8 years ago. The only change was of the hardware I guess. MSM2 uses modern specs but it didn't really have that much impact graphically compared to Arkham Knight with more immersive visuals and animation.

Both games look great. I’m glad there are such awesome games where I can play as my favorite superheroes in such high quality gameplay

The stealth in the spider man games is awful, no way to compare that to a character based off stealth and brutality (which is why the combat in arkham is way better than Spider Man also).

These games certainly can learn from one another, which quite convinces me that Rocksteady was probably more capable of making a Spider-Man game than Insomniac. Also you forgot to compare cape physics. (Also, Batman does not care about style points.)

I know the point of showing the differences between games, but once you realize that most games focus on different parts, you start to understand that you can't compare too much about them. You can use as example the breaking a car from falling system, in my vision I see the batman game with a more dark scenario, Gotham is almost destroyed and everything, he NEEDS to do this, you can even see this by the way he goes exploding the whole city with the Batmobile (a goddamn tank), on Spider-Man's side the game is more ''friendlier'' and don't really need to be so destructive (even though it breaks the immersion). Another example is the jumping from a highest point where Spider-Man can resist falling from a highest place and the developers put the crashing animation and the fall damage to be a hilarious part based on this resistance, in batman scenario it wasn't shown in the video, but when he falls from a high place, he activates some kind of ''parachute'' system before he falls on the ground to prevent getting injured. In my final opinion, I LOVE BOTH GAMES, 10/10 all the way, enjoyed playing them, I played batman on my Xbox S/S and the Spider-Man on my PS5, and all I'm saying that when you appreciate both games and don't search a thing of one to another you can really see the beauty of them exclusively. One is made for a thing, the other for another. Great video, by the way! Keep up with the good work.

So I do prefer Spider-Man 2 over Batman Arkham knight because of the bosses and story just like I prefer Arkham origins over Arkham Knight but this is when you realise that the Arkham Series has “Asylum,City,Origins and knight while Spider-Man only has “2018,Morales and Sm2” so the Arkham games already have an advantage. However miles morales is more of a Dlc meaning there’s only 2 Proper Spider-Man games you could argue about origins but there’s still 3 Batman games While Spider-Man 1 had a Decently good story Asylum Changed the way we look at Superhero games as a whole and just Like Spider-Man 2 Arkham City does Exactly what the First game Done But Better then you have origins Which is just to clear up stuff we didn’t need but was nice to Just like miles morales Lastly we have Arkham Knight Some of the best graphics to date and finishes of a perfect Trilogy so will most likely Spider-Man 3 so how about we stick to what games we prefer.
