[analog_future]

I votes Crysis and Batman Arkham Knight

I just started playing through Arkham Knight last night. Still looks freaking amazing; better than many 2023 games.

 

[Dread Burner]

Hot damn, Arkham Knight has aged gloriously. There are a lot of good examples but for me personally, Arkham Knight and The Witcher 3 define what fidelity and art direction should look like. Most modern games fail on that front despite having all the fancy technology

 

[violence]

Not sure what it is but Batman has always attracted quality creators.

 

[gow3isben]

The Order
God of War 3
Uncharted 4

 

[Kagero]

[Pegasus Actual]

PUBG so beautiful

 

[Drizzlehell]

 

[Fredrik]

Trine 2 still looks amazing

Yeah the Trine serie in general looks amazing, I used to play the second one on WiiU and for the longest time I thought it was among the best looking games that generation.

The Ori games look incredible as well.

Drive Club still holds up.

Nice rain but the creative choice of going with 30fps always ruined it for me, wrong genre for that, looked flickery when driving fast.

 

[Matt_Fox]

I'll take it back to the 90s with this one... At the time it looked like a next gen game on a past gen system...

It looks so good on a small screen! (either a vita or a small TV).

 

[DGrayson]

[Hugare]

Arkham Knight
Mirrors Edge (2008 game, crazy stuff)
Alien Isolation

I dont think they'll ever age for me

 

[TrebleShot]

Nothing with sprites.

 

[Toots]

I'm replaying Okami and it is still pretty, all due to the art style.

Purdie means only one thing by the way if you're not a degenerate like OP

 

[Valt7786]

Everyone shitting on the word purdy but no one questioning why this guy puts an s on the end of random words?

 

[YOU PC BRO?!]

Shenmue on DC was so far ahead of its time it was just unreal. Held up well when released on Xbox years later and again in 2018 when Shenmue I & II dropped.

 

[balls of snow]

Uncharted 4.
Also ran 1440 p locked on ps4 pro instead of whatever the fuck res these next gen games run at.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Nothing with sprites.

RDR2 still looks incredible.
Wind Waker

 

[Games of Today]

On PC, any frostbite engine game from battlefield 3 forward.

BF3 still looks better than any Battlefield after. It's a joke. BF3 simply looks real and I actually think the blue-ish tint is what helps with that, as well as the blinding real life sun haha.

 

[nightmare-slain]

On PC, any frostbite engine game from battlefield 3 forward.

battlefield 3 was the game that pushed me to finally build a PC. i miss it so much. i tried playing it again a few months ago but couldn't get it to work

 

[Archaic101]

I was playing it the other day, and I thought the first Soul Calibur looked shockingly good for a nearly 25-year-old game, especially in motion.

Other than that (and the usual suspects, like Arkham Knight), I'd say:

Crimson Skies
Dead or Alive 2
Doom 3 (the Xbox version was especially impressive)
Burnout 3
Metal Gear Solid 2
Rayman Origins
Mario Galaxy
Unreal Tournament 3
Gears of War (the whole trilogy)
Time Crisis 3

 

[existensmaximum]

The Last of Us
The Last of Us 2

The end

 

[existensmaximum]

Haha, I remember when I first played this game on PC, me and my brother concluded that "OK this is it. Games can't possibly look any better than this!"

 

[Mephisto40]

Haha, I remember when I first played this game on PC, me and my brother concluded that "OK this is it. Games can't possibly look any better than this!"

And then you played the game...

I've been playing through Mad Max recently on Series X. Absolute stone cold stunner of a game that released in 2015. I just went through a sand storm at night with an incredible amount of lightning. This game has the best atmospheric and volumetric effects I have ever experienced in a game. It's nuts!

It's hard to find screenshots and gifs that do justice to the visuals but here is one. It looks incredible in motion (120fps, HDR, and I think 1440p on Series X).
