Hard to pick between ratchet and hfw. I think overall ratchet looks better but hfw just looks unreal with the amount of on screen details and being open world. I guess I pick hfw

 

[Hunnybun]

HFW is a graphical and technical showpiece. There's so much more going on in that game in real-time (then you have the combat on top) compared to the others and it still looks and runs better than the rest.

I don't see anything we've seen announced yet beating it. Spider-Man no chance, Hellblade and even Factions I don't see either.

I'd be really surprised if Spiderman 2 doesn't beat it. That game will be properly spectacular.

Ratchet probably already beats it and Spiderman will have 2 plus years of technological research on it and like 3x the budget.

You picked the most generic shot from the game. You could have used something like the Siofra River, which was beautiful. Whatever though, just my opinion.

I picked a shot that a comparison video felt necessary to show. Unlucky.

 

[Musashipan]

Flight Simulator easy
No contest

 

[ReBurn]

Maybe that new version of Fortnite IDK

To be honest I feel we are still in 'peer close enough at certain aspect of game' and you can see the cracks appear.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is still the benchmark for me. The life in that game, the lighting and the ability to make an undulating landscape look so real is unmatched. The first game in my opinion to really capture that 'open barren field' and not look like a video game. Valhalla comes close but still ventures into what has become more common in open worlds which is dumping loads of assets on top of the ground. RDR2 unashamedly gives you fields and makes them look outstanding. That's not to mention the quality and animation of humans, animals and weaponry. The high tide mark in my opinion.

In terms of what I've played since next gen Demon's Souls has been the hardest to nitpick over. Everything is so polished, everywhere. So that probabk6 gets my vote.

I'd then have Ragnarok, Forbidden West and Plague Tale: Requiem pegged next on yhe same rung. All strive for excellence. They have great art design and some pursue ultra realism. They have incredibly high standards throughout but also have little, tiny things that still stand out as gamey. This is only for splitting the vote mind, we're talking very small, tiny things at this stage.

 

[CGNoire]

Returnal in motion is a different level of visual fidelity.
Horizon's DLC
Ratchet
TLOU2

Graphically, PS5 has had an incredible start to the generation...

Disreguard. I didnt read op right.

 

[CGNoire]

God I wish they would release an Actual Matrix Game with this.......(gos to cry in corner).

 

[NightmareFarm]

Guilty Gear Strive or Rift Apart

 

[In Cold Blood]

Flight sim is the most realistic looking game, so that's where my vote goes.

 

[Bonfires Down]

(if you call this a poll)

 

[PendekarRajawali]

R&C and a thing if you call that a game.

 

[Schmendrick]

Flight sim is the most realistic looking game

*As long as you stay far .....faaar away from the ground.

 

[Neofire]

HFW is undefeated.

 

[delirium trigger]

I have both, play the PS5 way more. Flight Sim is by far the most impressive "tech demo". It's not really a demo, if you know how to fly planes... I do not.

Otherwise, the consoles are basically the same thing. Developers haven't reached the potential yet.

 

[3liteDragon]

HFW easy, no contest.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Voted for Flight Sim just because of the dumb poll. Just kidding, it does look best imho.

 

[Hobbygaming]

*As long as you stay far .....faaar away from the ground.

Or skyscrapers

 

[In Cold Blood]

*As long as you stay far .....faaar away from the ground.

It's relying on Bing's maps isn't it lol. No wonder.

 

[SkyHighTrees]

FH5 if it didn't have awful pop-in at 60fps, or the weird car models at times.

Otherwise it's HFW, Demon Souls, Ratchet Clank.

GT7 for the Image Quality

 

[Vroadstar]

Nothing else comes close on console at the moment. Whether you're up above the clouds, or down below the water. You even can go really, really close to the ground and see the crazy tiny details on animals (scorpions etc.)

I really liked the graphics of Far Cry 6. Think that was the most impressive game imo.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

Horizon and Ratchet are both above God of War

Read what I wrote again, and then go play all of the games mentioned. I love Ratchet as much as the next guy, but the artistic depth, animation complexity and vfx implementation in God of War is enough to eclipse them. Horizon has a great, vibrant world with plenty of detail, but it honestly feels more like a tech showcase.

 

[Radical_3d]

Demons Souls.

lol, just say ratchet is cartoony

 

[SoloKingRobert]

That's actually a tribute. It looks too good and realistic, so they fear it

 

[mrmustard]

That's the thing. Most other very good looking games have a slight cartoony touch. Nothing is as close to being photorealistic as FS..

 

[Hoppa]

Everyone here will say Horizon forbidden West.

 

[IlGialloMondadori]

Lord willing, Silent Hill 2 shall claim this throne

I'll be shocked if Bloober pulls that off...

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Agree.

 

[crackajack]

I have not played many real PS5 games yet, so i'm most impressed by PS4Pro Spiderman, more than Deathloop, Ghostrunner,
Astro or Wreckfest.
