16 Little-Known Gaming Stats That’ll Blow Your Mind

15. All Polygons In All PS1 & N64 Games Are Less Than Arkham Knight's Batman Model

Rocksteady really have gone all-out for their finale to the Arkham trilogy, and the character models aren't an exception. Not only does the Batmobile pack enough memory to completely fill up the size of an average Xbox 360 game at 160MB, but the polygon count on Batman himself has one equal to that of Arkham Asylum's entire environment. For perspective, the most detailed character model in Asylum had a polygon count of around 25,000 - which when you factor in that game's entire world is equal to the size and detail on just Arkham Knight's model of Batman, it's beyond staggering to think how far we've come in such a short time. Holy pixels, Batman!
Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
