What is the best looking game you've ever played?
>>315563994
I can't quite remember now, but i think Ryse for PC was one of the best good looking games ever imo
>>315564189
Aesthetically it didn't look all that impressive to me.
Way too grey in a lot of areas. Only place that really stood out was that forested "swampy" area.
You posted it, OP. There is no serious contender to top TPP.
I mean, P.T looked fucking great, but it's a corridor horror game, not exactly vast open world.
>>315564291
I love that grey look. I hate when games use over the top bullshit colors like Witcher 3 for example.
I love the grey Ryse, Gears of War, Killzone 2 color pallets.
MGSV has serious LOD problems with trees, ruins scenes far too often for me to call it the best looking.
>>315564338
This is probably bait but I'll bite
MGS V is literally a last gen game.
probably TW3 on a mix of high/ultra settings.
Project CARS can be very pretty too. I'd rank MGS TP/GZ below the two.
>>315564327
desu and baka are back???
>>315564609
Sure, when played on last gen consoles. PC exists, though, so your point is pretty moot.
>>315564609
>>315564702
goddammit! cluckolded again
>>315563994
>Those colours
Are you using an ENB?
>>315564660
Everything looks nice except for the balls lighting and buttfuck color pallet.
>>315564338
It looks good in certain areas, others not so much.
When less than 10% of the second map looks like absolute garbage, then it's hard to give it a break.
Maybe it was just because it was a multi-generation release, but the game falls flat with visuals in a lot of places.
>>315564517
Grey colour pallets can look great if the game has a grounded setting in the right place (Killzone especially), but from what I saw Ryse was all over the place.
The forests just look weird when there's a grey filter over it.
I'll give you Witcher 3 though, they really fucking dropped the ball there.
>>315564804
Use this
http://www.nexusmods.com/metalgearsolidvtpp/mods/3/?
Downsample if you can, it looks great. The game just looks undersaturated after you try it out.
>>315564753
oh yeah i know, i played it maxed out on pc, still looks like a fucking last gen game
>>315563994
MGSV looked great. Which is a fucking achievement with the generally low quality of the assets.
The FOX engine is fucking incredible.
>>315564609
Still one of the best looking games
DOOM 3
>>315563994
Certainly not TPP.
>>315564660
I really hope this image is a bait.
Crysis or Metro 2033 redux
>>315564989
I respectfully disagree with your first reply of the three. I literally played the entire game with my jaw hanging low.
>>315564702
I guess?
C u c k is now kek
F a m is now senpai
>>315563994
GOW3, MGSV and Arkham Knight are probably the best looking games I've played in the last year
>>315565038
No it fucking didn't you dumb fanboy, it was one of the ugliest games I've played in recent memory.
Fox engine is last gen trash in every respect

>>315565157
Come on mate, Africa just looks plain bad.
No other way to say it.
MGS 5 is pretty, but it's clearly a PS3/360 game when you start examining the details. The geometry and texture resolution are lower than they should be.
The artists and tech guy worked together well though. They did a damn good job of using physics based rendering and good lighting to make surfaces look detailed from a distance and then the art team did a good job budgeting their polygons.
Another game that did this well was Half Life 2 back in the day. That's why screenshots of it today still look decent. The art team knew their polygon and texture budget and used them well.
Most of the time games don't do this. Just look at Fallout 4. The game clearly has PS3/360 level geometries and textures with a smattering of PBR based surfaces and a lot of post processing to smear the screen in what just looks like blurry shit. The result is hilariously inconsistent visuals.
>>315565010
>linus tech tips
>970
>he thinks his opinions matter
While the graphics weren't perfect, Witcher 3 had soem breathtaking moments. Definitely best graphics this year.
I have to admit that battlefront looks quite nice, phantom pain didn't really do much for me especially night time in Africa was absolutely terrible.
also witcher3 with sone tweaks is really nice. but there isn't anything very revolutionary these days to be honest, maybe i just expect to much.
>>315565491
>MGS fanboy
>Too mad to see the truth
>He thinks the game is not a last gen game
>>315564660
AC Unity blows Witcher 3 out of the water, as well as a good handful of other games.
It's not nearly as pretty as you think it is.
What are we talking about here?
Photorealism? Art style?
>>315565530
Screenshots don't do Witcher 3 justice. A lot of the detail comes in the animations of the foliage and everything else.
>>315563994
Anyone got a smoother version of this?I can't fap to a slideshow
modded skyrim
>>315563994
Mad max did low desert very well and I was definitely blown away by the world design.
>>315565530
No?
Probably Unity. It had some of the best lighting I've ever seen in a game.
>>315565679
View from beneath the water looks insanely janky
>>315565353
lol this exact thought goes through my head when I lurk here.
you guys just love to bitch
>>315565574
don't try to be defensive, just admit you made a poor choice and reconsider your life's decisions
>>315565623
Mirror's Edge is a good case of what prebaked shadows and global illumination can do. DICE also did a good job working with the artists to manage the polygon count well.
Sadly that prebaking of the shadows and global illumination doesn't scale well to any sort of a dynamic time of day or even situations where they need to change the light in a scene drastically.
>>315565398
>No other way to say it
How about it looks absolutely fucking abysmal.
>>315565652
Apparently having all foliage at all times act like there's a level 7 tornado in the area makes a game look better.
Fallout 4
alien isolation made a great use of lightning and shadows to make it have stunning graphics, also the retrofuturistic artstyle was fucking beautiful
>>315565353
I need somewhere else to go this exact thing over and over is as boring as Facebook now.
>>315563994
Witcher 3.
In a photorealism sense anyways.
Maybe also Crysis, I didn't play that much past the intro though.
>>315565679
meh
nothing moves. the water is just flat too
>>315565398
Not really. You can manipulate your position and the camera to catch the game at its worst, in most games.However 99.9% of the time, you're not looking far enough into the land for the render distance to cut off.
It's effectively one the best looking and aesthetically pleasing games I have played in a long time.
Alien Isolation, hands down.
>Fuck you I liked CA in this game.
>>315564989
Oh god I hate ENB so much. Just downsample and you'll have good results, this shit looks ugly as fuck
>>315565753
What game had better graphics this year?
>>315565796
Dunno about that. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't
>>315565679
The problem with modded Skyrim is that it doesn't look that good while you're actually playing it. Modded textures are naturally inconsistent, and ENB look like the screen was smeared with vaseline
>>315565796
very artificial looking, looks like an ENB mod
>>315565796
Why was Unity the only next-gen game that actually did smoke?
>>315565958
Too much chromatic aberration. I had to turn it off I fucking hate the effect
>>315565962
Fallout 4, fucking fag kek
Dwarf Fortress desu senpai
No better graphics than your imagination :)
>>315566146
It worked for me!
>>315565660
why would you fap to a clothed webm of someone running?
i would literally not be able to cum
>>315566159
Good joke
>>315565962
Already stated, AC Unity.
>>315563994
Gameplay was shit. Artstyle was amazing
>>315565958
The CA in this game added some tension, as you saw blurried things as would be under extreme fear. What pisses me is game like GTA and BB using it like it's the new god-rays.
>>315566280
>this year
>>315565967
It's not perfect, but nothing beats it maxed out on pc.
>>315565961
Who shat down your chimney?
Have you seen how bland the base game looks?
>>315566280
No I can't agree with this
>>315566110
no vaseline on my screen
>>315566124
The game looks like a fucking cartoon on the bottom image. God dammit CDPR what the fuck.
The worst part about it is that fucking horrible color pallet. Everything has gone to shit but the colors hurt the most
>>315566429
>Have you seen how bland the base game looks?
Matter of personal taste, I just think ENB is a disservice that appeal to people who don't leave their homes
>>315566581
It looks kinda blurry 2bh, show something that's not water and we can talk
>>315565398
The forest area around CT's mansion and the mansion itself are the best looking areas in the game
>>315566124
Its obvious what you are seeing here is what the game would have looked like if they designed it for the pc and what you get with a console.
>>315566696
Vanishing of Ethan Carter Redux looked very good, coupled with the creepy atmosphere too.
>>315566593

>>315565967
game ran like shit and it wasn't particularly good, but holy shit does it look godlike on pc
in my opinion still the best looking pc game
>>315566907
this is far from sublte though
>>315566362
Agreed.
battlefront
>>315566997
Simple as fuck ENB though.
Everything else is mods.
>>315566832
Bethesda's light engine is so fucking trash god damn it
>>315566832
Fucking shit that looks cozy as hell.
If only Skyrim (I assume) wasn't made on gamebryo, maybe it wouldn't take a NASA supercomputer to run all the improved texture / foliage / flora / fauna / mesh mods.
I really enjoyed TPP graphically like that, because of the graphics you get for the framerate. I was amazed at the smoothness of it.
>>315566736
I agree, 10% of that map looks good.
The rest? Hot trash.
I don't think there's much you could do with an open world taking place in a savannah mind you. It's incredibly unreasonable to expect a title like that to somehow render 10 km of flatlands to stop it from looking bad.
>>315566797
Still kind of their fault for baiting everyone with the shinier version in the first place.
Say what you want about Bethesda, but the way they handle reveals is the best. Showing their game off half a year before release, so nobody gets their hopes up.
CDProjekt RED essentially showed off how rickety the development was through trailers. I mean, who the hell would expect that fur physics and Fully Lit particles would run on consoles in the first place, then design and show off a game with it? Come on.
>>315567224
I preordered fallout.
>>315566931
To get the good graphics from the game it has to be at the right time of day, it has to be at street level and it has to be away from water.
Here's a screenshot I took at the wrong time of day and it doesn't look very good.
The interiors of the game generally look good during the daytime as well I will admit.
P.T.
Either Fallout 2 or HMM 3. Can't decide. Might lean towards Fallout 2.
>>315567403
Why cant Fox Engine into hair shadows?
Transparency issues? Is that why there aren't any grass shadows either?
>>315567345
it's okay
To be honest TPP has very good textures and models but its lighting is kinda shit.
Sure, character shadows are good but a lot of lights are static, like vehicle headlights, and shit like Grass doesn't even have a shadow or anything.
>>315566832
Something just looks wrong about that. The light is too bright and the trees look soft and unrealistic
>>315567403
You ever seen the photorealism shot?
Spooky as FUCK
>>315567403
it still hurts, anon
>>315567524
Fallout games are some of the uglier 2D Isometric games of it's time.
>>315565491
Ain't nothing wrong with Linus tech tips, they do cool like shit whole room water cooling.
>>315564189
Is Ryse actually any good on PC? I thought it was just a tech demo for the xbone
Either Unity or Battlefront
Some interiors in Unity are photorealistic as fuck.
Wish I knew about the hide UI button earlier
>>315567817
Does Syndicate hold up?
>>315567678
Words cant describe the hate I have for Konami. Its the anger that is filled with sadness and depression

The game that we have under development at the office.Ask me anything
>>315567903
no, it's the worse AC game
>>315567648
I thought the "realistic passing of time" shit was one of the better qualities of the Fox Engine
>>315567915
Cuntboys of Dickgirls?
>>315567791
It is just a tech demo game essentially. It runs just okay on PC
>>315568013

>>315566907post mod list pls
>>315567856
What is it?
>>315565346
Hey Polack
Mad because people prefer MGSV over W3?
>>315567791
I loved it. Great action game
>>315568147
Home key
>>315568009
I thought that was also really good, but also another thing I hated was the massive blur filter in the game, in some areas it just felt obnoxious as hell. The lens flare was actually not as bad as I thought it would be, in GZ it seemed like it was everywhere.
I just kinda wish the lighting was a little more dynamic.
>>315567670
You just posted a pic in overcast weather. at least compare it to the right day/weather
>>315568340
Witcher 3, looks excellent with no mods.
>>315568065
Stakado Cinemascope ENB. You're looking for the Independent ENB, it's in this download (see pic related)
Other than that, I kid you not, just install all the basic water and folage mods found in the Top Files on the Nexus.

One of the free DLC ones. I've forgotten the name but you get it on Skellige.
Comes with matching horse gear too.
>>315568625
Thanks, man
System Shock 2
For the short time I played, Battlefront looked fucking fantastic.
>>315563994
MGSV suffered from being a inter-gen game, but damn, the lightning is god-tier.
If only they released mod tools to improve the textures, add native AA and add custom missions, would be GOAT.
Witcher 3 by far, but MGSV has the bonus of being very well optimized and has some nice lighting in the dark and rain.
>>315569325
I love the overly transparent emerald water, I never could get mine to look like that
Why cant we have one thread without Witcher fags spamming it?

Really impressed with W3; considering it's the studios 3rd game.
>>315570004
OP's screenshot looks miles better then anything that you people have posted.
You obviously have some grudge against the downgrade posters from 6 months ago, and feel the need to post the same screenshots over and over again whenever humanly possible.
Nobody wants your shit, get over it.

The environment textures are absolute dogshit. The only things that look good are the character models.
>>315570730

>>315565956
>99.9% of the time, you're not looking far enough into the land for the render distance to cut off.
You get pop in barely 20 meters away from your character. Looking through your binoculars causes massive pop in of objects too.
>>315570791
most people think it's good, you're just a contrarian
>>315570920
It's using Reshade.
>>315565962
bam ham
>>315565961
It's not ENB though, it's Reshade. ENB can be quite good, most of them aren't though. Reshade/SweetFx configs are 99,99% shit. People don't know shit about subtlety.
>>315570193
the trees stand out way too much there, ruins the whole thing.
>>315571013

>>315565346

>>315571081
So?
>>315571191
go look it up, then, you won't believe people actually don't share opinions with /v/
>>315570791
No, the environment textures aren't 'absolute dogshit,' they're mediocre. Fuck off, everything's either one end of the spectrum or another. I'm so sick of all the hyperbole everywhere, converse like a normal human being you fucking guttershit.
>>315571090

>>315571303
>everything's either one end of the spectrum or another.
Is this your first time here? If you can't discern between hyperbole and someone being literal, you might have autism.
>converse like a normal human being you fucking guttershit.
Sweet irony you got there bro.
>>315571265
You said that the shot was showing off the good lighting. I'm simply clarifying that it is not the game's lighting that makes that shot better looking than other MGSV shots, it's Reshade.
Screenshots are not really a good way to see if the game looks good or bad. You can find for that one perfect spot with perfect conditions to make a game look incredible or incredibly horrible. Skyrim is a perfect example of this. With enough mods, you can take some insanely good looking screenshots but we all know the game doesn't look that good when you keep playing it for a while.
You all know this.

Eh, modded Skyrim actually looks really great 90% of the time. Even distant lod is acceptable thanks to dyndolod. The wonky animations is dragging it down if anything.

I'm thinking of playing this game.. is there any way to change that god awful UI?
>>315565157
This, I've easily taken 1000 screenshots and I never do that. The smoothness, the animations, the lighting, the fantastic art design, the gorgeous landscapes - the whole game is just beautiful. Not even shillin. Just wish there was a third area/chapter 3
>>315563994
Can't decide between FC3 and Crysis.
>>315572059
You can choose to disable any individual part of the hud in the menus.
>>315567403
This too. Man that fox engine was such wasted potential. Konami you will pat for this.
Not entirely sure, but The Witcher 3 was the most demanding game I played.
It looks extremely good even on low settings like I use.
Either that or Skyrim with all the 4k textures and ENB
>>315572027
Whats wrong with gtaV? Its literally the best looking game made to date.
>>315569292
indirect lighting is really hard and usually needs to be pre-baked to look good
see: The Order: 1886, Assassin's Creed Unity, The Last of Us
>>315563994
Metro: Last Light
>>315572027
Don't know, I've only ever played it vanilla as shown in the webms
>>315571926
Of course it looks good, I have 150+ hours in it. I'm just saying /v/ always does this for AAA games and I feel sorry for people who actually believe all the shitposting.
>>315563994
To me personally is Arkham Knight, although the PC port is a mess the game is pretty as fuck you you can run it
>>315572275
Nothing, but I wouldn't mind nights to be a little darker
>>315572037
Sure, the graphics are undoubtedly beautiful, but with some many different mods and texture packs, everything looks kinda inconsistent. For example, the landscape around Whiterun looks incredible for me but when I enter the city itself, it gets kinda underwhelming...
>>315572275
GTA V looks great for a game that was originally on PS3/360 but it's missing some modern rendering techniques like physically based rendering.
>>315567575
It's not just FOX Engine. Most console games make the choice of optimization to many different objects from shadowmap generation. It is tied to transparency, in that it is far more expensive to calculate the shadowmap of things like foliage, hair, etc than it is low poly, opaque objects.
>>315567403
>>315567678
Fuck me I am still hurting over this one. I have the game on my PS4, really need to back it up to an external device for redundancy. I don't trust console hard drives. Or any hardware in a console for that matter. They use the cheapest option possible.

>probably TW3 on a mix of high/ultra settings.
eh, it's up there but it's too inconsistent to be 'the best' imo. It looks like washed out street trash sometimes.

The game already have an ugly ass filter but this is modded for shure

I know it's not the best, but TTP is the first thing that always pops into my mind now when that question is asked.

>calls someone a guttershit
>tells others to act like discuss like human beings
I thought Ground Zeroes looked better than TPP

its hilarious that it takes 4g or texture memory on pc. PC gaming is truly dead.

it might be a little dated and off everyone's radar now, but Mafia 2 is still fucking awesome-looking, and with graphics mods it's a real gem

It doesn't though, at least on 1200p, since I play with maxed textures on 2gb 670
>>315572662
It doesn't, With textures on "very high" I never used more than 3~3,5GB VRAM and I have a 390X
not even close tbqh
too bad I can't run it past 30 fps
it sold enough to make more than avengers age of ultron day 1

It's not really that funny. the games textures are generally good and there are a lot of them that need to be streamed in. The game takes up massive amounts of hard drive space due to this. (like 60GB on PS4/One and probably closer to 70GB on PC)

It didn't, but the default nighttime missions looked good thanks to heavy rain and darkness

I thought phantom pain looked good but then I reached to Africa where everything look mediocre especially when it's raining during the day.

Its hilarious because it can play on a toaster but requires $300 video cards from the latest generation of hardware to play on pc.
