Batman: Arkham City

Return to Arkham is back with a vengeance.

The visuals look greatly improved (character models still look a bit off and overly saturated though) , and better yet, it has a release date of Oct 21th, here in the US.

Meh, I think I still overall prefer the original versions
 
I really don't like Batman's face in AA.
 
The remasters still don't look like anything special. I'll stick to the originals.
 
The character models are not looking very good:

It seems like in almost all of those pictures that the background is improved, but the character models are either downgraded or altered. Harley doesn't even look the same, it literally looks like a different person wearing the same costume or something. Weird, I've never seen a situation like this with a remaster.

That cutscene with Batman(the pic above) was pre-rendered in the original game but is in-game in the remaster. That can explain why it doesn't look as good but the character models are terrible.

Here is Joker from the same cutscene:

It's funny, when I first saw the video, I was pretty impressed. But then looking at it again a few hours later, it hit me that the character models still look wrong, while the environments look great. I feel the problem is still that there's a lot of over-saturation, which basically kills the dark, moody tone of the games.
 
The character models, more specifically Batman's face look horrible.
 
It seems like they've focused primarily on upgrading textures. The character models do look off by comparison.
 
The big one for me is Batman's face on the Aslyum remaster.
 
I wonder how Strange looks now compared to when we first saw the remastered look.
 
His eyebrows had a life of their own as I recall.
 
Yes they did, curious if they're still alive haha
 
How come they haven't worked to make the PS4 version better looking instead of making it less detailed and more plastic looking?

I'm happily content with the PS3 version and PC version I have.
 
It looks like they revamped Batman's face in AA to more closely resemble how it looked in AC.

The Penguin looks leagues better in the remaster. Catwoman looks about the same. Joker and Batman look worse. Everybody's outfit looks better, though.
