When was the last time you were amazed by graphics?
Crysis
>>737453080MGS 4
>>737453080>go there>looks like shitffxv is the gift that keeps on disappointing
Truly amazed? CrysisThe way the morning arrives during the first level is ingrained in my brain
>>737453080If you mean raw graphical power it is definitely Metro 2033. That game, when fully maxed, felt like it was just in a different world. I personally thought it looked better than Crysis. Ever since then, no game has overall impressed me with graphics. Individual things have looked really well done or I have admired art styles, but I've never thought "Holy shit" like I did with Metro.
>>737453080Takeda's face models in Nioh 3
>>737453080the vesus xiii trailer where noctis is in the car with the city view - that shit looked amazing>>737453212this
>>737453080Soul Calibur on Dreamcast. I still remember people hyping up stuff like "fully modelled 3D fingers!". Nothing really impressed me after that but that's because I slowly stopped caring about stuff like that.
RDR2. 8 years later and it's still the best looking game. GTA6 probably will take that title when it comes out
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
>>737453080Darker nights mod for KCDII (with OLED).>>737453448That trailer was the best to come out of FF since XII. What is this place called so I can check the final product.
>>737453080Just once, I would like to see fantasy cities be built and look exactly like the concept art depicts. No loss in scale, color, NPC density, and AI. Just one time, a city that feels so dizzying that you actually get lost in it. I have never seen anything that gets even remotely close.
Granblue Relink is the best looking game I've ever played. Graphical fidelty means nothing to me anymore, you just need nice gradients and a grasp on color theory

>>737453080Final Fantasy 15 for OP the faggot who didnt say what the screenshot is referenced from which game.The jump from DX9 to DX10 is the last time things improved.
>>737453080STALKER 2 with Photorealistic Zone ENB Crimson Desert
>>737454592looks like a mobile game
>>737453327This. Metro 2033 OG on PC in 2010 was insane.
>>737453080RE8.
Halo 4. 13 year old me genuinely thought my brother was watching a movie at first
Kill me but it is Far Cry Primal.I know you guys only like Japanese games here but ...
>>737453080probably RDR2, still has unmatched lighting and weather system without shitty ray tracing neeed
>>737453080Stellar Blade
>>737453080I really liked the clouds in ArmA III back in 2013 or whatever when it released.After that probably RDR2 was the last one that amazed me, also with clouds.
>>737453080>last time you were amazed by graphics?when I stopped playing games and started going outside
>>737457060
>>737453080The sheer scale in Crimson Desert is impressive, especially from the sky islands. That said it also manages to have some of the shittiest lighting I've ever seen in a game.
the first time I played a PS3 game I thought "holy shit this is like real life" and I've stopped caring about graphics since. I think it was Motorstorm.
>>737453080Death Stranding 2
amazed? probably when far cry 3 released was the last time I was young enough to be amazed by graphics. Rdr2 is the most impressive in recent history.
>>737454349Build it in Minecraft
>>737453080In a bit over 2 weeks I upload my capture of the first 30 mins of Bioshock infinite 10 years ago lol. Shit gameplay but still blows my mind. I was a jobless neet and now I own a flat(Although im currently unemployed kek)I disliked san andreas when it released I played halo and found it ugly lol but I legit love it now comfiest game ever. Phasmaphobia impressed me unironically thats it

>>737453080Very recently.
>>737454698>Final Fantasy 15 for OP the faggot who didnt say what the screenshot is referenced from which game.Why are you even here if you don't recognize that screenshot?
>>737454592kek really? I pirated it but like pretty much every Japanese game that's come out in quite a while it just felt low effort to me after playing Genshin. I only made it to the first town and just didn't feel like playing it any further.I didn't even get a good feeling for what kind of game it is, it's not really an adventure or RPG right?
>>737453080Crysis
>>737453080Oblivion on the 360. That was the last time I felt that there was a generational leap in graphical quality, ever since then there have only been micro "improvements" that really feel like sidegrades. But walking out of the Imperial Sewers and seeing a full game world I could explore in the first person view was mind blowing.
>>737459135>loads of noise and smearingmodern rendering was a mistake
>>737453696>blurry mess
>>737453080Tekken Tag Tournament coming from the PS1Half Life 2 late/after the PS2 eraCrysis later onNothing has really blown me away since like those three did at those periods
>>737459292the noise was fixed but yeah there will be smearing. The game looks really fucking cool at times though, it's the first time I've seen good ray tracing and it's a super dynamic open world game so the lighting is really cool sometimes. nice water too.
>>737459135What aspect of this looks good to you? You can't even see the majority of the rain because the rendering resolution is so bad.
kyberpoonk
>>737459469I played the game, sorry the mushed clip looks bad but it looked cool enough for me to record the footage.
>>737459460>good ray tracingYou're not being serious, are you?
I was playing some doom2 wad and I remember thinking 'damn this map looks great how the fuck did they do it'Never once though the same about some hyperrealistic modern game
>>737459538you're right, all ray tracing looks good.
Graphics? Arkham KnightArt Direction? Red Dead Redemption 2Art Style? Psychopomp
>>737453080Neil Vana fight in DS2, so last month, but that was much more about the style. Graphical fidelity - never
If your game uses dithered "transparency" in any capacity, you're automatically excluded from the "good graphics" club.
>>737459538I am. Lots of cool shadows, noticeable global illumination, and good reflections.I have played a few games with RT but it was a side grade to the game with it disabled in every case. The game also has some Crysis tier tech when it comes to water, draw distances, destruction, and smoke. Easily the most impressive game in the past decade for me.>>737459642>Anonymous 04/22/26(Wed)17:32:34 No.737459642Graphics? Arkham Knight>Art Direction? Red Dead Redemption 2>Art Style? Psychopomp

>>737453080Looks AI generated because of the waterfall spam.
>>737460034I dare you to post transitions from outdoor to indoors. Or hell just any indoor area in general.The GI is so fucking bad, it makes Stalker 2 look good.CD has its strengths. The sheer draw distance is amazing and the particles are fancy (though painfully overused). But the lighting is utter fucking trash and requires a 4090 to look semi acceptable.
>>737453080>Battlefield 6 - October 2025>Cronos: The New Dawn - September 2025>Indiana Jones and the Great Circle - December 2024all amazing looking games with great atmospherethe start point of Indiana gave me Crysis vibes immediately
>>737460613lmao
Uncharted 4yes, it's already a 10 years old game
>>737460549What does auto-exposure and HDR have to do with GI?
>>737460637
When I saw Dragon Quest 8 was 3d.
>>737457101incredibly embarrassing if this is actually you
>>737454592It does look nice.
>>737459267>that webmbro that looks so fucking badeven shit from the ps3 like the last renmant had better deserts.
>>737460903they overdid the autoexposure to hide the the insane latency of the temporal acumulation.it's on par with the HL2 pathtracing meme.
It was all down hill after Arkham Knight, and I don't mean just graphics
Ever since crysis, every modern game just looks like realism slop to me.The close we get to reality the less impressed I am.

>>737459267make her deepthroat cock
>>737453080Death Stranding. There were moments I thought Kojima had suddenly switched to video.
>>737461136>I'll use big words to change the subjectuh yeah but what does that have to do with GI
>>737461432>thread about graphics>gets mad someone uses graphics terms he hasnt heard ofyou could have just stopped, googled this stuff and educated yourself rather than lash out because of your ignorance.
>>737453080FF13https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDjkGUM7skklast time I was surprised by how good a game looked
>>737461632I guess you don't know what GI actually is and don't have any criticism against it kek. Kinda embarrassing.
>>737459285PC Oblivion had HDR lighting. Consoles and everything after had bloom.
>>737461423the opening was wild. you couldn't tell if it's real or game renderinghttps://youtu.be/4TcfqqUaKqg?si=TLnJpJvPXkIrWoxg&t=74
>>737461432The koreans copied Lumen down to its mistakes of having a horribly low ray sampling rate so you need a fuckload of frames to get a good result. It's why the indoors look fucking awful and have lots of ghosting.
In Batman: Arkham Knight, the fact that I could go down into the fear gas was pretty cool.
>>737453080The Witcher 3 or Fear & Hunger, depending on what you mean.
>>737459469>You can't even see the majority of the rain because the rendering resolution is so bad.You can't see the majority of the rain because it's not being lit by anything. Like how it works in real life. Would you complain that real life has bad rendering resolution for the same reason?
>>737459267Week bait and Kill yourself genshitter. There was a desert level in relink and it looks miles better
>>737462160Nope. They patched that out weeks ago. There were issues with ray reconstruction and some of the light distorting effects that caused odd artifacting. All gone now.
>>737462768post it
>>737461096https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVvkDGbvw4ERight...
>>737462931shame this game is tranime shit and gacha shit because its environments look pretty damn good.
Assassin's creed paris. That was the last big jump in graphics
>>737463029Genshin and its clones usually have nice looking environments. I'm probably going to play that NTE game that comes out next week, just to explore a bit.
>>737459267>>737461096>>737462931>>737463115could somebody just post Journey and get it over with?
>>737453080When they first started showing Gaussian splatting stuff. Nothing has ever blown me away like seeing classic laser-produced holograms, though. Even monochrome, there's nothing like it. Nothing I've ever seen on a screen (VR, CG, whatever) has ever compared, because it doesn't look like a reproduction, it looks like someone froze the light in a bounded 3D space.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnjATyPuFFk
Sea of thieves may not be the most graphically complex game, but the artstyle and the setting really gave me a sense of next gen graphics that could stand the test of time, something modern ai slop has yet to replicate.
>>737460741>read sony shills praise all their exclusives for the graphics>they get ported to PC>they're all utterly mid, except for the one game they were ashamed of>said game actually looked good and had huge hordes of zombies which was impressive>ran on UE4 and you can't even tell >only sony game to not get a sequelanger rises
Have any of you guy were amazed by graphics but not because it resembles real life?
>>737453080Arknights Endfield
>>737459135This legit looks like shit anon. I'm sure the game is fine but that lighting is shit
>>737459135
>>737453080Riven, but that was less pure wow graphix but more mix of both graphics and presentation
the last time i audibly gasped was perfect dark zero, on the xbox 360, on a standard definition tvmy friend walked up to a wall and i couldnt believe how good it looked
>>737453080Rdr2
>>737457210Red Dead 2 is probably the last one to get a wow out of me. I'd been over realism for a while at that point but when I was on top of the mountain and could still make out Valentine from below I was like, "wow, that's a really good LOD model, fuck that's neat."
>>737457645Same, whatever else you might be about critique about it its probably the best looking game I've ever seen when it comes to photo realism. Screen caps never catch just how good it looks in motion.
>>737453080Wild how well Japanese depict cities integrated with water, that's beautiful
>>737453080Like 13 years agographics have only stagnated over the years
Guilty Gear Strive and Granblue Versus are amazing looking. Arcsys's modern style is unmatched. I don't have any images of GBVS on hand but I think that game looks better than Strive.
>>737453080Battlefield 3
>>737465330>>737457210kinda unfair what rockstar did to graphical expectations. kinda of insane that no one has grpahically topped a game thats almost a decade old now. i honestly dont think we will ever get a game like rdr2 ever.
