One specific detail about this game that I love is that Batman grunts and makes noise during combat. It sounds like he is actually putting in effort and exerting himself instead of being a silent beating machine like in Arkham Knight.
You gotta remember the suit upgrade, including all the gadgets.
Did it have to do with his suit being heavier?
I think it'd be scarier if the guy beating my ass wasn't making a single noise
Like damn bro, it's that deep?

13 years and this game is still a masterpiece.
Man, i'm grateful to still be alive.
Word! Alot can happen in 13 years. Although Arkham city is probably the best out of the series and Origins is my personal favorite of mines and i still enjoyed playing Knight although its not my favorite, Asylum was the game that made me realize you can make a really amazing batman game and I remember being immersed into the atmosphere and story and was the first game to make me feel like the batman.
The arkham games did for superhero games what the nolan batman movies did for the superhero cinema. They were a game changer.
It really is impressive how well this game has held up through the passage of time. It’s just as great to play today as it was back in 2009. The entire Arkham series is a must play, even if you’re not a huge comic book fan.
Nobody buys comic books anymore. The adaptations that they are based off of have transcended it in terms of popularity.
It’s an amazing game even today, it’s an actual game game with good combat and few interesting Tid bits to do. As a first in the series from that era it shines! And the sequels only get better and better. I loved the series and I loved asylum, in some aspects it’s my fav of the series and in one or two niche aspects it’s my fav game ever I would say. Okay now I’ll watch your vid and see what you have to say 😝
Btw I discovered you when you were at a few thousand subs and I’ve been a sub since, recently started watching your vids again cause I felt like you matured a bit in terms of your opinion and delivery. Keep it up
Arkham knight sucked story wise to much batmobile I hate it the most but to just free roam as batman is fantastic a true batman simulator
I agree with you 100%
I don’t think there’s any facet of this game that doesn’t work for me. It feels dense, atmospheric, foreboding. Just like Arkham should. It doesn’t forego the detective aspect of Batman’s repertoire of skills. The art style has aged very well, which can’t be said for a lot of the games from 10+ years ago. What a classic.
Just replayed this few weeks ago after 3 years. Easily one of my favourites of all time. Rocksteady made an ever green product. I hope they are super proud of themselves. I'll keep on replaying it for years to come.
I love your content so much. Your honesty about everything shines through every single syllable that comes out of your level headed and fair speaking mouth. And atop of this is the fact, that I agree with you about 95% of the time. I wish you and all of your dear ones nothing but the best, simply because you deserve it as much as anybody else. Mad Love all around ❣
For this game I recommend using the Asylum Reborn texture pack. It lifts the game without changing the art style and intent. It also adds the PlayStation DLC with Joker and 4k cutscenes (AI upscale but still looks pretty good)
Is it on nexus mod?
@@Mas-lg8xb I think so. I know it's on steam with the guide working on steam and epic games versions
@@Genemon123 thank you
I agree. This series shows great effort and design that is really a unique package
The Arkham series is widely known for helping revolutionize combat in gaming & for good reason.
Rocksteady was initially making a rythm based Batman game and it eventually turned into Arham Asylum, they kept the rythm based elements in the game with music and how combat takes place which is pretty awesome to see.
I think one of the games that doesn't get enough credit for brining the style of combat into the gaming landscape is Path of Neo. It came out a fair few years before Asylum & is one of the best hand-to-hand fighting games from that generation. Breaks my heart that it never gets as much credit as Asylum for what it did for gaming at the time.
Thanks for revisiting this Luke, awesome to see you go over the game and behind the scenes stuff in a more casual setting.
I don't understand the hype behind this combat system. It feels absolutely dreadful for me. Ruins an already middling game
This game is just great, it basically was my childhood. Sadly tho I can't get it to run on my PC anymore, which is super sad.
Ironically, the first time I encountered this game was also on my dad’s computer, but it was an iMac. Retrospectively, it was one of the few games on the iMac, much less a good game, and it was such a great as an introduction into the franchise.
I remember watching him play at night after work (which probably helped with the atmosphere) and especially when he was stuck on Croc (since he kept using the quick throw, which wouldn’t stun Croc-you needed to aim and throw).
Later on, we even got it for the Xbox 360 (and I think it was my first action, beat ‘em up style game) and also the first game I had 100% completed and started a second play through.
It's aged very well. Even the art style had stood the test of time.
This game series is one of the few where i actually find myself going slow. Walking around instead of running, taunting and scaring enemies, admiring the world design, and just listening to every word i can in every conversation. I love how freedom they give the player and how much you feel like this character that everyone either fears or will soon.
I remember playing this when I was really young and I had that same endorphin rush I got when I first played spider man 2 as a kid. it’s a classic even if the bosses are really underwhelming. The atmosphere is unmatched in the super hero genre imo, even w city and knight
yes 200% agreeeeeee...Batman AS, changed gaming for good. Also Tara Strong and Kevin Conroy .....just deserves everything . and the batsuit character development was cool to see 10 years ago
Asylum is my favorite story, but I still think Arkham Knight is the best overall
Arkham city will always be my favourite. Very first super hero game I ever played back in 2013
I also replayed this recently! Oh my god, it truly is incredible. City is still my favorite for other reasons, however the atmosphere of Asylum is legit unmatched
City is trashhhh
The day I bought an Xbox 360, this came home with me as well as COD4. Having this be the very first game I played on my own Xbox after hearing about how amazing it was from friends completely solidified my love of games. I had such a blast following the story after having fallen out of gaming due to the lack of PS2 releases dwindling to nothing but licensed trash and sports games (and not really understanding my taste in games due to having been 13 and just maturing into the hobby). Bought every game in the series on day one and bought the remasters as soon as they came out for Xbox one. This series is truly one of the great ones
Batman: Arkham Asylum for me is not only the best comic book game ever, it's one of the best games ever made. The story, the smaller setting, the atmosphere, the combat/stealth mechanics and those Scarecrow sections.
So true and dissapointing when you say we dont get fresh ideas that often these days.
This game would be cool to see remastered or remade
I still think it’s perfect to this day
@@Adam_X78 most definitely!
It was already remastered
The reason Hamill wasn’t in origins is because Kevin Conroy wasn’t playing Batman, he only works with Conroy so now he’s dead Hamill won’t voice Joker anymore unfortunately
no, it's because they wanted both joker and batman to sound younger, jeezz it's not that hard to understand the game is literally based on batmans first years...
Great video Luke! I grew up with this game as well, and have always had a soft spot in my heart for it. Mark Hamill absolutely kills it as the Joker. Idk if you've ever played Shadow of the Colossus, but its pretty much the exact opposite of most western style games coming out nowadays. Something I think you'd really appreciate, as, from what I can tell from a lot of your videos, you're not a fan of handholding in video games. I really recommend you give the remastered game, a play through! Epic landscapes, amazing story, unique as hell "boss" battles, etc. As well as the guidance system in the game steering away from maps and leaning into guiding the player through much more natural means. Anyways, Cheers man. Looking forward to the next video!
For me, it's still Arkham Asylum > Origins > City > Knight. Origins is hugely underrated and was generally far more entertaining than City. Spectacular bossfights, too!
I’ve always been a massive Batman fan and when this game came out back in the day it was a dream come true. All I can say as the highest praise is this game makes you feel like Batman
Accidentally played it 3 times on 3 platforms
Cool I bought the game of the year addition just to 1000 Gamerscore it 😎
I just played this trilogy for the I don't even know-th time a few months ago. Could do it again tonight and be just as excited as the very first time I booted them. I still learn, improve and see new things with each playthrough. And somehow, these games still look much better than, say Horizon Zero Dawn that everyone raved about. The feel and fluidity of the gameplay is better too.
Everytime I hear about how the game industry is dying thanks to monetization and live service etc, I think, "No problem. I have more than enough games of this era to play and replay. Let the industry die, whatever. I'll still be playing."
Also these games are the definitive Batman canon in multimedia to me. Each of the movie series is interesting, the TV series, cartoons, etc, but in my head canon, this is the true Batman.
I could listen to this guy talk about the art of cockroach hunting... Well done as always
It's not the best Arkham game, but I think this game has the best atmosphere and story. I still remember trying to find all the joker trophies, some of which were incredibly frustrating to find just by using the map, and their markers kind of bounced around on the map, which was extra annoying.
Best superhero game.
The Remastered version's graphics fidelity is even better. Yes, some people say it's worse than the original, but I highly disagree. Some areas of the first game look fantastic in UE4 in the remastered version. Plus, the rain effect outdoors looks phenomenal.
One of my favourite things about this game, is that despite clearly being aged, it looks better than other 2009 games because unlike those games this wasn't very dull and greyscale.
Imagine being in the recording studio with voice of Joker and Luke Skywalker. Must've been pretty awesome.,
Still one of my favorite games ever. Honestly kinda bummed it went open world after this
Whenever I wanna revisit these games I replay this one. It's more linear and has some of my favorite moments of the series
Woah, i just replayed this the other week. What struck me was the gritty-comicbook vibe. Like, the pause screen is just amazing. It feels like Batman The Graphic Novel: The Game.
Regarding the Combatsystem in the Batman Games: Check out the Mad Max Game, if you haven't already .It is a Masterpiece of a Game. At least for me. Way ahead of its Time. But i guess you know all that. If not: This is not a typical Franchisegame either. Sorry, of you covered that game already, i was just swinging by via Algorythm.
You will absolutely like the Combat System. At least on feet. Depends on the Player if you like the Roadbattlesystem aswell. But it is extremely well done aswell. Progress is always there and the Grind is normal. Has flaws, like most games. But the overall setting and Atmosphere. Sounds and Gameplay. Looks wonderful maxed out, even to this day. Combat and all that really gets crazy and harder later on.
Jeez the estate sale story is kind of heart wrenching 😑. I had no idea things like that occur. A family sitting there watching people shop around in their house for their stuff.
fantastic video game even today, i personally prefer arkham city because they added in the other world which was really fun to get around. got the return to arkham collection for insanely cheap a while ago and it was really fun to go back through all the old ones on the series x.
I like city mainly because I think it’s a good send off for the Joker
@@iamslightlybetterthanyou2679 true. But I think all the stories of the arkham games are really good. The only one I didn't finish was arkham Knight but its on gamepass so I need to get back and finish it.
Origins is the best honestly
Arkham Asylum was the Spider-Man (2002) for the superhero videogame genre
Finding the interviews clip is one of the best part of this games you get to listen an conversation between Harley before she gone mad and joker and as a doctor she is trying to understand why is joker is like that. That is why it my favorite Batman game of all time and afcourse the atmosphere no other game can match it.
Aha! So your the one that came & took my Batman Arkham Asylum game all those years ago lol
I'm kidding but tbh I wouldn't be surprised if that happened through your videos you are pretty popular👍
They wanted to try new voices for Arkham origins
Arkham Asylum on PC still looks way better than the remastered version that came out for PS4/XBO. No wonder it never got the remaster treatment. It never needed it!
One of my favourite games of all time truly ahead of it’s time in terms of a Batman game
It has the best atmosphere in the series IMO, so it’s my favorite Batman and Arkham game
It's a fact it has the best atmosphere in the series.
10 years. Nope. It was 13!!! years ago. And it's still so great.
I remember being obsessed with 100% this game, which I did. Once I did that though, I don't think I ever had the desire to go back to it.
Love the game, fond memories.
Feeling of emptiness kills desire.
I have a hard time replaying story driven games. I felt like that after I beat Bioshock for the first time. I wish I could wipe my memory and play it for the first time again.
This game made the best Batman in any media in my opinion, from the voice acting to the gameplay, this game was a perfect Batman story!
This is one of those games I’ll never forget. I’ve always loved Batman but this game revitalized my love for the character and the world. Started getting comics, watch Batman TAS again etc. Paul Dini just knows how to do Batman and Gotham. Blah blah bat mobile and everything but I love Arkham Knight too and it’s such a great trilogy played one after the other. Now with Gotham Knights out, I’ve reinstalled all 4 Arkham games to play through once again when I finish Gotham Knights. Quite worried about Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad game though
My favourite Batman game. I love the music, it is absolutely brilliant.
mARK HAMill as the Joker is unbeatable.
Just watched your full critique of the Arkham series a few days ago
Me too lol
I really resonated with what you said about going back to these games and appreciating thyme all over again.
Batman Arkham City is one of my top 5 Xbox 360 games and I was pretty excited to play it again in the Return To Arkham collection. I’m currently a few hours into it and I just can’t stop wanting to get back on it! Unlike most people (who’s mostly nostalgic for Arkham Asylum), I’m very nostalgic for City as I played it a lot as a little kid in my 360 games. And now I feel like I having even more fun with the game now than I did back than. With me now understanding the mechanics of the Arkham games more from playing Knight a few months ago, and recently 100% Asylum.
Arkham Asylum was definitely a fun time though. It took a minute to grow on me, but I can see why this game is loved so much. Not a personal favorite of mine as the gameplay felt kinda meh for the most part, but still a fun time. Especially deducing the identity of the Spirt of Arkham.
Arkham Asylum is a pretty amazing game.. I played it with 20fps about 2 years ago with my old ass potato pc. Then after a while when I did get an ok pc, the difference was night and day. It felt like I was playing an entirely different game.. I couldn't get into the groove of Arkham City but I really like everything about this game.. Its got some genuinely fun moments..
Plus I feel it holds up really well in many aspects to this day.
I feel one of the things that makes this batman game so unique is how close batman is to the viewer. in arkham knight it feels almost like a drones eye view which put me off and not to mention the enemy designs which lacked colour and good visuals to spot their next action where as here its so much nicer allowing you a good flexibitly rather than only relying on the blue counter mark.
Yeah it is!
Idk any information about the pitch for Arkham Asylum but I can't imagine it is was too difficult to pitch when it was probably pitched in like 06 or 07 after Batman Begins came out and and The Dark Knight was on the horizon so dark gritty grounded Batman was just beginning to be in again for Warner
I actually went back to this game a few months ago! Something I forgot about that I completely loved was the atmosphere and design of the prison. I loved how tight and claustrophobic it felt! I started playing Arkham city after and was blown away by the scale of that game and the sheer amount of detail they sprinkled throughout the city. Definitely one of my favorite series from that era!
Asylum is my favorite in the series. The Scarecrow segments were my favorite parts and the best version of the Scarecrow there is. He show gamers greatest fear, there console or save file breaking. My brother told me when he was playing that he was terrified that he thought he broke my PS3 when the planned glitch started happening.
New and fresh ideas are still there. There are people trying new ideas everywhere in Indie scene but it's so sort through all the popular stuff, people tends to stick to what they know and love after all
Just finished replaying it and I loved it. It was just as magical I remember it when I was 10
I just got Covid and replayed Arkham Asylum last week. I’m now replaying City and still love these games
This game really plays out like a Saturday morning cartoon. Speed up the run and battle to 30 seconds and a minute with each time he encounters enemies this would be a fire two part season finale.
Edit: The ending was a bit underwhelming but his line about being always ready to go another round is underrated.
It's a much tighter game than it's sequel Arkham City, that's what I like about it more. You never get a minute to rest.
PS: In arkham city the "counterattacK" prompt appears even on hard. You need to clear the game once to unlock the higher difficulty without the prompt.
When I got my ps4, Batman Arkham Asylum was the first game I played. That and uncharted 1 and Injustice 2
The Arkham games feel like a loose continuation/adaptation of the animated series. A lot of the same voice actors, same tone, etc.
I really loved Arkham Asylum. Wonderful.
I bought the Arkham games 2-3 years ago on Steam and never played them.
started like week and a half ago, really good games.
started Arkham Knight today.
One of the GOAT. Taught us that superhero games didn’t have to be crap.
The Batman games are so Iconic and it is always nostalgic to go back to Arkham Asylum. Great cast, great atmosphere and pretty damn good gameplay to.
The Arkham Series did something that, frankly, shouldn't of worked. Should have been impossible. They took everything 'Batman', from the first issue in 1939, to the goofy fun Adam West series, Burton's 89 Batman, the transcendental B:TAS, Nolan's films, the rest of the comics run up until the point the games were made, hell even Schumacher gets some love for good measure, and distilled it all down into what I think is unarguably *the* "Batman" experience. It's all there, as one seamless whole. Every design, sound, line of dialogue, so on and so forth is perfectly "Batman".
It had the best perspective based puzzles
I really miss the ps3 era. The only games I truly enjoyed on PS4 are Doom, Spider-Man, Ratchet and Overwatch. Too much hud, open world, chests enemy bars and levelling up rpg crap in modern games.
There's seems to be an obsession with rpg, loot, Multi-player, live service and microtransactions elements forced into every game these days.
I really like the idea of a giant island with multiple buildings, endless mazes of sewers and vents, buildings full of insane inmates. Man, there is even a rock for escaped inmates to jump off of. I also like the horror aspect of the game, buildings that have 4 stories, all with hidden creepy secrets and Easter eggs.
Arkham asylum deserves a proper remaster from Rocksteady.
stories like that Estate Sale one are the funniest guilt trips to live with. You did absolutely nothing wrong...the father is the jerk. Your mom took you shopping and you saw a game........BUTTT YOU STILLLl KINDA SORTA scarred that kid for life possibly. (lmao)
Man, I want a game to make a cool new system, like this with the free flow combat, or Shadow of Mordor with the nemesis system
The attack notifications are only off in New Game Plus, all the regular modes have them. Even HARD
When this game first dropped and I first put it in and played it, was one of the best feelings and gaming experiences I’ve ever had. This Batman series is one of the greatest video game series of all time.
About to try it on PC.. just finished origins. Let’s go!
Love this game! This game truly makes you feel like you’re Batman. Using stealth and picking off enemies one by one was so satisfying.
Great timing, I just went back and got %100 the same weekend you posted this. It really is a timeless game
I'd love to see you go back to the bioshock series and do one of these retrospective style videos.
Babe, wake up, LukiePoo has uploaded again!
Arkham City is pretty much objectively a better game, and one I am more likely to return to for the world and mechanics. But Asylum has an atmosphere unlike any other game in the series, and more or less unlike any other game I’ve played. The canned laughter of the suicide collars, the asylum chime, screaming lunatics charging at you… the asylum feels so unsettling in every way
Arkham Asylum, to this day, is still the only game that has the highest enterable buildings of all, unless we count some Gta San Andreas mod that made every structure enterable, but it was cheap and generic, every building you see in Asylum you can go into, and its insides are beautiful, Asylum is special.
The next superhero game that I hope can capture a similar dark and gritty tone to Asylum is Marvel's Wolverine. I need Insomniac to be able to deliver a genuinely gut-wrenching Logan story that emphasizes his cold background and personal inner demons, giving birth to a gripping character exploration that does not hold your hands in diving straight into the bloody muck of his world. It's the closest thing to an already confirmed game that is on its way that can stand toe-to-toe with Arkham's expertly crafted dark and gritty atmosphere
if i'm not mistaken, Mark Hammill is actually THE voice of joker, since ever, because he voiced Joker even in the first Batman animated series?
And that one is older than 30 years, I think.
Just a tiny correction.
Arkham Asylum is a masterpiece of horror and stealth. It's the best batman game and the best super hero game.
Jeez that lighting is ghastly
Say what you will about City and Knight (the worst of the three), Asylum is the best of them. I played it 10+ years after the release and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of work. Scarecrow shenanigans, 4th wall breaking stuff... If you haven't played it yet - do yourself a favor. Bigger is almost never better, Asylum is living proof
This was the first game my parents bought me for the Xbox 360 after I played the demo for hours lol.
This was the first game I played that got me into gaming at the start of covid. Amazing master piece! 👌
mark hamill is such a goated VA
I normally enjoy your content but I’ve seen this exact video title like 9 different times to the point where it made me laugh. Feel like you’ve just got to sit in a damp, dark room and come up with some new ideas.
Oh the feels
I feel like I'm one of the only few that feels like this game aged terribly? It's super heavy and very clunky. Yes the environment is gorgeous and the over-all vibe and aesthetic it gives off certainly is comfy but jesus, as a pc player, Arkham Asylum, controller or not, is one of the most annoying older games I have played in recent years. I'm actually quite shocked so many disagree. Yeah it's got childhood value and hell yeah it was a blast when I was a younger, but I can't play it now. City is probably the oldest version of the Arkham series I can actually enjoy nowadays. Origins is also heavily underrated.
I agree 100%
City has the best story, and Origins has the best bosses but yeah, Asylum is the GOAT.
