Batman is dead. Growing at an incredible speed, the underworld has swept the streets of Gotham City. Now it all depends on the Batman family: Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood and Robin. Only they can protect Gotham, give hope to its citizens, discipline its police officers, and instill fear in its criminals. From unraveling the mysteries that bind the darkest chapters in the city's history, to defeating infamous villains in epic battles.
| NEW - GEFORCE RTX 4090 |
ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 OC Edition now participates in our test , kindly provided to us by ARTLINE . This video card is based on the Ada Lovelac architecture, operates at a frequency of 2600 MHz, has 16384 stream processors and 24 gigabytes of video memory.
| THE GRAFICAL PART |
In this subsection of our review, the main graphical aspects of this game are revealed. Particular attention is paid to the version of the graphics engine used, the version of the API used, graphics settings and the quality of the development of the main visual aspects.
| SUPPORTED OC AND GRAPHICS API |
Gotham Knights is supported on Windows 10/11.
The priority and primary graphics API for Gotham Knights is DX12 .
| GAME ENGINE |
Gotham Knights is based on the Unreal Engine 4, developed and maintained by Epic Games.
Thanks to his work, each playthrough of the game is unique and inimitable, which increases the replayability of the game. The first game created on the engine - Unreal - appeared in 1998. Since then, various versions of this game engine have been used in over a hundred games, including Deus Ex, Dishonored, Lineage II, Thief: Deadly Shadows, Postal 2, the Brothers in Arms series, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, as well as in the well-known game series Unreal and Unreal Tournament from Epic Games themselves. Being adapted primarily for first-person shooters, the engine was also used to create games of other genres.
Written in the high-level C++ language, Unreal Engine 4 allows you to create games for most operating systems and platforms: Microsoft Windows, Linux, Mac OS and Mac OS X, Xbox, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 3, Wii, Dreamcast and Nintendo GameCube. In December, Mark Rein demonstrated Unreal Engine 3 on the iPod Touch and iPhone 3GS. In March 2010, the engine was demonstrated on the Palm Pre communicator based on the webOS mobile platform.
To simplify porting, the engine uses a modular system of dependent components: supports various rendering systems (Direct3D, OpenGL, Pixomatic; previously supported Glide API, S3 Metal, PowerVR SGL), sound playback (EAX, OpenAL, DirectSound3D; previously supported A3D), voice playback tools text, speech recognition (only for Xbox360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Windows, also planned for Linux and Mac), modules for networking and support for various input devices.
For online play, Windows Live, Xbox Live, and GameSpy technologies are supported, including up to 64 players (clients) at the same time. Despite the fact that the development tools do not officially include support for a large number of clients on a single server, the engine has been used to create MMORPG games. One of the most famous representatives of the genre, Lineage II, uses the Unreal Engine.
| SETTINGS |
Gotham Knights has the widest range of graphics settings.
Below we have provided screenshots of the game at various graphics settings, where our readers can see the difference between the minimum and maximum graphics quality settings.
| QUALITY MODES |
