Batman: Arkham Knight came out more than four years ago and it has aged quite well. The game takes advantage of a custom version of Unreal Engine 3, and looks amazing even to this date. YouTube’s member ‘SliM420 GaMing’ has shared a video, showing the game with Pascal Gilcher’s Ray Tracing Reshade mod.
Unfortunately, SliM420 GaMing has not provided any before/after comparison sequences, and has not revealed the Reshade settings. My guess is that a new comparison video may come out at a later date, similar to the Call of Duty: World at War comparison video (which I’ve included below).
As we can see, Batman: Arkham Knight looks absolutely gorgeous with this Reshade. The colours really pop with this mod, and everything looks better than its vanilla version. Not to say that the vanilla version looks bad, but this modded version is one or several steps better.
What’s really funny here is that Batman: Arkham Knight with this Ray Tracing Reshade mod can compete with modern-day triple-A games. Seriously, it’s amazing witnessing older games looking this good on newer hardware.
Enjoy the video!

Amazing blue light filter, thanks for the quality article as always John
REVOLUTIONARY RAYTRACING POGGERS
yeah i was going to say the same. i’m not much digging the deep blue colors.
imagine when johnny boy will discover HDR 😉
Amazing technique to make game look 10x worse than vanilla.
The technique that graphics programmers don’t want you to know.
honestly this looks like those early unreal engine 3 games that the lighting was weird, there were no dynamic shadows so everything looks static as if it existed in dimension that light doesnt exist and it has this weird colorization that everything has the wrong color.

The batman arkham knight video looks horrible the colors are way oversaturated, the vanilla looks a thousand times better
Where are you seeing any raytracing? All I see is blown out contrast, saturation and blue hue.
johny boy has 2 mirrors like in a sallon, one in the back of monitor and another in front, i think you missed this part https://media2.giphy.com/media/13r9tgg7ZisiT6/giphy-downsized-medium.gif
These ray tracing mods are garbage, they ruin the game look wtf
The headline should have read – After more than four years, Batman: Arkham Knight still runs like a mule on PC.
It doesn’t though. It runs pretty great.
am still on a GTX 690. Whats your GPU?
I’m on an RX 5700 currently. Also ran great on a RX 580 when I played it last.
Yeah… the problem is your senile GPU not the game.
Isn’t the 690 over 3 years older than the game? Pretty sure Knight released right between 900 and 1000 series.
That’s a single almost 680, which means you could play minium settings at 30 fps, the game don’t work with SLI, so you’re limited to 2gig, it which is the absolute minimum requirement for the game.

Hey, when did they patch the heavy rain effects back in. That looks sweet.
But, this reshade garbage looks horrible.
They patched the rain effects 4 years ago.
Am I blue, am I blue
Ain’t these tears in my eyes telling you
Am I blue, you’d be too https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b42fff84bc3037530ed9f808f04ddddd8acc83e0c0159f277cf2a562e6e6c236.jpg
Everytime I see ray tracing in a game it looks like sh*t, especially the mods
Because most of the times it’s fake and not actual ray traced lightning. DSOG should also stop sharing those fake, clickbait videos.
I cant say even real ray tracing looks any good but its just me.
Batman: Blu-Tracing Edition ?????
more like batman gears of war 1 on unreal engine 3.
Im sorry, but that COD Reshade Config looks horrible, its so over saturated, high contrast and dark that its loosing information everywhere, I understand the game looks dated and you want to hide that, but not at the expense of making it look like it was wash on mud and sh*t.
As usually an over-saturated garbage configuration. I wonder which brightness and contrast configuration these guys might use on their monitors. Bad taste at its best.
Blue is the new black….
HAHA, LMAO 🙂
better have a 7700k or far better.
This game brought my overclocked water cooled 6700k (4.6ghz) to its knees. My 6700k was bottle necking my 2080ti. Frames were dropping from 60 to 40 in lots of areas in the game and my gpu was just chilling around 40% while my CPU was staying at 99% nearly the entire time.
too bad, (for you), that the PS4 version is the DEFINITIVE version
Batman’s game got so blue that feminists are complaining.
Thanks for showing my test mod. I really appreciate it
