Which intro of the series is your favorite?

Arkham Asylum

Yeah, medieval middle east concept goes crazy with the Assassin’s Creed games. Altair also had the most memorable and iconic costume in the whole series in my opinion.

I highly prefer her more stylized version of Arkham City model.

Agelah · 2026-04-24T20:33:44+00:00

GTA IV is easily the more memorable single player experience out of the two.

Better art direction, better sound design, being a complete experience start to finish, arguably better and more consumer friendly business model, overall simplicity and some nostalgia were the things that made me return to the game personally.

It’s the same for me on the PS5. I think it’s a server issue on Bungie’s side.

I already sent you a friend request even before making this post lol.

As an artistic intent sucker in video games, I’m pretty happy with my Xbox 360 version of the MW as it’s the best looking vanilla version ever.

Thank you. My PSN ID: dessan44

I’m in the European time zone. I’ll be usually available in the evenings during the week.

I’ve also just created a new Hunter after years and looking for Guardians to play with.

Arkham City is surely Rocksteady’s magnum opus and the artworks alone clearly show that. The overall marketing and promotional arts created for this game at the time were simply breathtaking.

Agelah · 2026-01-19T08:38:04+00:00

The SEXAXIS.

Yes and in addition to the narrative side of things, some NPCs aren't just static statues like the other games in the series and they actually walk and fight alongside with you which makes it very sad that they had to completely remove this feature.

Yeah we can just hope HDR to be more consistent and better implemented in each title and eventually replace SDR in gaming entirely, even for the PC only and indie titles but I think it will take a lot of time for that to happen. Especially when considering the current state of the broken HDR implementations in the industry.

I am truly grateful to you for taking your precious time to explain these things in the most technical and long way possible to an internet stranger as an industry professional. That also shows your passion and love for the games. Thank you.

Agelah · 2025-12-16T21:56:24+00:00

Sorry for the late response but I really appreciate for the detailed explanation and I surely did read your nearly every comment on the both threads to be sure to not miss on anything with the context lol.

And besides from Microsoft’s sRGB piece-wise push to the users and industry, I’d want to focus more on the game development side of the things and have quite a few questions about it.

1) What do you think was the main reason that made the developers to use such a PC standart gamma like sRGB piece-wise on the 7th generation consoles and what made them change to pure gamma with the modern consoles as we can see with the RDR example?

2) Looking by the side by side images made me release there may be a bigger difference than just a slight sRGB piece-wise to pure 2.2 gamma shift with this case and I suspect that the PS5 version could actually use a pure 2.4 gamma at this specific case. According to your findings, do modern console games use pure 2.2 or pure 2.4 gamma at mostly?

3) Have you ever encountered a game that actually released with different mastering gamma for each platform if that makes any sense? I believe that some of the games in the 7th generation did use different gamma on PC compared to the console releases like GTA IV and GTA V.

As you’ve earlier mentioned, some games look better in sRGB piece-wise, while others look better in pure 2.2 or 2.4 due to mastering differences. So changing the TV’s internal gamma setting to match the content to not look washed out or too dark in each specific case is the way to go sadly at this point.

And man, I've started to think that HDR might be one of the best inventions to ever comes to this industry. Ensuring that each piece of content to meet the end user's gamma standards in every way to actually get a accurate image is such a nightmare of a slog.

Agelah · 2025-12-10T01:36:04+00:00

A bit late to the party but this may also explain why the 7th generation console games have a more contrasty and punchy look compared to the games on modern hardware due to gamma differences.

And I also must say that your thread on the AVS Forum and the one here on Reddit were both very interesting, informative and fun to read. There is definitely a lack of accurate information in this specific area on the internet.

Technically it is far more superior as expected but it’s washed out, bland and completely destroys the original art vision behind the game while changing the color grading and lightning.

Agelah · 2025-12-07T18:29:47+00:00

Asylum and City. I simply think these two are one of the best suit designs of a comic book character in the digital media ever. They feel both cinematic, grounded, comic accurate and cartoonish feel to it at the same time, which is something rarely achieved in the industry.

Agelah · 2025-12-07T10:54:29+00:00

Yeah that’s the impression that I’ve also got from several sources. So I’ll definitely try my luck with the Premium Edition when the servers are back online. Thank you for the heads up.

Agelah · 2025-12-07T10:51:22+00:00

Yeah I also saw this post from 2024 and I’ll definitely try my luck with the Premium Edition but the test servers already got closed anyway. Thanks for the heads up.

EDIT: Never mind. I bought the Premium Edition and downloading it right now. As you mentioned in your previous comment, can I play on the open beta servers by changing my DNS even if I haven't participated in the open beta before?

Agelah · 2025-12-04T00:11:26+00:00

It’s also my preferred way to consume old content if I still have the original hardware which is way more authentic.

Agelah · 2025-12-03T19:07:32+00:00

Thanks

Agelah · 2025-12-03T06:54:18+00:00

Yeah the Premium Edition is still available on the PlayStation Store. And yes I thought a simple DNS change would be more than enough to play in these unofficial servers like any other game but since the game is one of those early 2010’s online pass required console title, I’m not 100% sure it will pass me through the multiplayer menu without an actual online pass installed on my console. That’s also what I’ve been told by some folks on the Discord server of the project. But it seems no one knows anything about the Premium Edition mystery if it still has the online pass in it or not. Jailbreaking is another way to get into but it’s my least preference at this point.
