Introduction

GPUnity made an amazing comparison video for us, watch it in 4K:

So, what can you expect from this modification?

What other mods should you run with the upscaled cutscenes?

In conclusion

Hello everyone,After weeks of messing around with, getting frustrated by the Bink format and most importantly figuring out an efficient way to undertake this project, I am finally able to present you my results.This guide includes every single cutscene from Arkham Asylum, upscaled toWhat seems simple and straightforward on the surface actually involved weeks of planning, figuring out the tools for the job, looking at compression, file types, compatibility with Bink and fixing broken frames.A single cutscene could take me anywhere from 10 hours to a full day to process. There arein total. Each of them with their own kinks and problems.I took my inspiration to create this 'mod' from(my Contributor in this project) who did all of the work extracting and preparing each cutscenes' audio, allowing us to support every localization natively, just like the original video files did. He actually created a guide on, and I just applied my idea from there. His guide was the only documentation on how to work with Arkham cutscenes that I could find on the internet.I would also like to thank everyone in the 'GraphicsProcessingUnity' Discord, which is dedicated to modding the Arkham games and Nier: Automata. Everybody there has been very supportive. They shared my excitement for this project from the start and provided ideas of their own.You can expect all of the original cutscenes, except the legal notes and the start up splash screen, enhanced to look like they were created in native 4K. Every cutscene is stillit was in its original 720p state, down to the last pixel. Except, that this pixel is now three times bigger.This comes at a cost, however. Normally I would've been able to compress the files to a nice 5GB size with modern compression methods. But this is not possible for this project thanks to the forced Bink file format. So see the Installation tab for more information on that.We recommend using theto get the full Batman: Arkham Asylum experience. This mod comes with fulltextures, tweaks to Depth of Field, FOV, Anisotropic filtering and more, along with some really well done Reshade presets.If you decide to use my upscaled cutscenes and you like them, please consider giving this guide a good rating. This took more time, money and GPU power than you would think.
