I see a lot of people these days talking about what looks next gen and what doesn't.

Cross gen and true next gen.

What game do you think is pulling off the most next gen visuals that we've seen actual gameplay footage of?

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Demon souls

 

[Dr_Salt]

IMO only Dokev, Crimson Desert and Stalker 2.

 

[FritzJ92]

That’s released? It’s between FS and R&C. Considering fanbase I think R&C will come on top. But tech wise FS is it to me.

 

[Represent.]

Horizon Forbidden West.

By far, imo.

 

[DonJuanSchlong]

That’s released? It’s between FS and R&C. Considering fanbase I think R&C will come on too. But tech wise FS is it to me.

Same thoughts here. Because of the fanbase, r&c will more than likely win. In regards to pure technological feats, definitely FS. Although FH5 will look better than both FS & R&C, FS will still win from the technological standpoint.

 

[Grand Theft Scratchy]

Forza Horizon 5 looks pretty stunning in my opinion.

 

[NeptuneCL]

"Mike" Morales?

 

[Hayabusabruh]

Wuhan monkey game. Forgot what it's called.

 

[Cornbread78]

Umm, wtf is "Mike" Morales

Miles OP, his names is Miles and I'm betting he could kick your ass if he wanted to, but he's a nice dude. Smart, real smart too...

Black Myth

The correct answer is Demons Souls.

 

[RCU005]

The games look great, but I believe they all look like improved PS4 versions. By this time in the PS4 gen, I was already impressed by several games like The Order 1886. Even Second Son looked much better than any PS3 game.

I think we will have to wait until 2023 to see games that leaves us with the jaw open and our minds blown

 

[Cornbread78]

Oh and Horizon, R&C & Gears 5 all look great btw

 

[Mr Moose]

COVID 19 Black Myth: Wukong

 

[Imtjnotu]

R&C has the best RT reflections ive seen in a game so far

 

[Little Chicken]

I chose MS Flight Sim. Never fails to amaze no matter where you fly.

 

[Supermjmt12]

Right now, I would say MS Flight Simulator for me, and 2023 will be the year of true next gen games

2022 still have some cross gen titles that will hold it's true power back.

Why are devs so scared of graphics these days...

 

[ZehDon]

I played Flight Simulator on my Series X on the weekend. That's probably the most visually and technically impressive game I've ever played. The screenshots are stunning, but boy - playing over my home town, seeing it realised so incredibly well at that visual fidelity? That was really something else.

 

[bender]

Earth Defense Force 2 (Switch)

 

[Y0ssarian]

No Demon's Souls?

 

[Flabagast]

Personnaly I'd say Cyberpunk

 

[PleaseDontBanMe]

If we're being honest



The Last of us 2, Detroit Beyond Human, and Uncharted 4 look better than everything released on the new consoles

 

[JimmyRustler]

Thread failed.

The correct answer is Demons Souls.

I only really played Demos Souls and if that is the answer to the thread that this is just plain sad man.

 

[metareferential]

It's Half Life Alyx, you blind monkeys.

Nothing even comes remotely close.

Outside of VR, on consoles, I'd say that in the right conditions Demon's Soul remake truly is the Gears of War moment of this gen (or the Fight Night moment, remember that?).

On pc we have Flight sim and Star Citizen that blow everything else away (yeah yeah "they're not games").

And why are we considering titles that are yet to release?

 

[Techno_Inked]

Black Myth: Wukong

Although I don't know if that's fair since that will probably come out in 2023 at the earliest. But as of now, there's not one tangible game that looks even close to this game in its visual presentation. Not to mention the combat looks great too. It obviously still needs some improvements in its hit box detection though.

 

[Black_Stride]

 

[Negotiator101]

Yeah it's FS by a country mile, then Forza Horizon 5 then R&C, everything else is little bit below these 3. Cyberpunk is just too inconsistent but definitely has the best Raytracing on a high end PC.

NO, TLOU2 could be considered IMO but those other 2 are not good enough graphically and I've played through both in the last 6 months.

[SLB1904]

Forspoken is not even on the pool and you have elden ring lol

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

R & C followed by Demon's Souls.

Next year STALKER,Horizon FW and GOW R look promising.

 

[ZywyPL]

The Ascent, but it's not on the poll, which makes it invalid ;p But from the listed titles it's easily CP2077y, console-only gamers might hate it all they want but with full RT galore on PC it's a title that will put to shame many games that will come in the next couple of years.

 

[Mister Wolf]

R&C and Flight Sim.

I recently got a Quest 2 and I agree. Nothing outside of VR really impresses me anymore because it's so ... flat. Even fucking Pavlov is more impressive than PS5 stuff (despite looking like CS Source on low settings) because you feel like you're there. Can't even imagine what HL:A is like (I'm holding off playing it until I can get my hands on a more powerful GPU at normal prices).

 

[RowdyReverb]

I’ll be the first Avatar vote! If they can pull off the world size, diversity, and rapid traversal that the trailer suggested, it looks like a truly next gen game

 

[Bartski]

no such thing

 

[Hobbygaming]

Demon Souls has the best lighting and assets, Ratchet and Clank really does look like an animated movie

 

[owandeseis]

Flight Simulator could take it, but let's be serious, it's more of a tech demo than a videogame.

With gameplay shown i think it's hard not to say the monkey game is the most impressive one, then i'd go for both Horizon games, and then Ratchet/GoW 2.

 

[Whitecrow]

Still unable to understand how anyone can say that Demon Souls with its lacking illumination and empty hallways is the best looking game.
It's not even native 4K.

 

[FMX]

How convenient that you left off Gears of War Hivebusters. Obviously you have never played this game as it would have been on top of the list. I always found it strange that when graphics are being discussed Gears is often not included in the discussions. Not sure if it's fanboyism or an oversight but graphically very few games are in the same league as Gears. Flight Sim and it's not even close folks.

 

[MrFunSocks]

Flight Sim is the only correct answer, but we all know it won't win the poll.

 

[Achille0s]

Forza Horizon 5

 

[Warnen]

Destiny 2 at 120fps feels way next gen to me

 

[Flabagast]

Destiny 2 at 120fps feels way next gen to me

So you're saying that PC players have already been experiencing next gen for 4+ years?

 

[TintoConCasera]

I voted Alyx just because it's the only one that made me go "wow".

The rest look amazing ofc, but to me it's just more of the same we got on the previous gen, just a liiiittle bit better.

huh?

There is some amazing and unique tech on show but it's far from a tech demo. Flight sim fans are some of the fussiest out there and although it isn't without some criticism FS has arguably moved a genre forward and raised the bar further and higher than any other single title I can think. It's certainly up there with Elite, and Mario 64 for me. The accurate graphics on show in FS are a bit part of that jump. Most games at the micro scale are going to be better looking than FS but at macro scale there is nothing else even remotely close to it.
