skillzdadirecta Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Really enjoying my new TV and want to see some of the really great looking games on it. Is Ratchet and Clank the current champ on consoles? Last of Us 2? RDR 2? Gears 5? What say you board? Mind you I have an XSX, PS5 and a decent gaming laptop that I'm about to upgrade (Not sure to what yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 R&C looks great if you’re looking for something with a lot of color and cool lighting effects. Even my wife noticed it while I was playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Yes, it’s Rachet on console. Cyberpunk PC, Metro Enhanced Edition (only played on pc, but if lighting is intact on consoles then probably there too), and RDR2 pc are all up there with it in different ways. Nothing else really at that level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Oh, but if you just want to show off your tv then probably gonna wanna do Ori 2 actually cuz colorz (also 120fps on XSX). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted July 17, 2021 Author Share Posted July 17, 2021 I figured it was R&C given how good Returnal looks. Was trying to wait for a price drop but I may just grab it for shits and giggles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control is def a next gen game on pc maxed, but I think Rachet is more impressive just in terms of texture detail and modeling takes it to another level for me. Flight Sim is technically up there or the best but I kinda don’t count it, as it grows it’s probably always gonna be, but what it’s doing doesn’t impress me as much I guess because it’s using the distance to make it look good. Doom Eternal maxed is def next gen seeming too now but not up there for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The industry hasn’t fully moved on to next-gen yet. Even Insomniac is still cutting their teeth. Point being, I think it’s still hard to say what a next-gen game truly is at this point, vs something next-gen leaning. In a few years, we’ll look back at some of them as cross-gen(-ish).

Probably, I do think Rachet and Cyberpunk at least will be looked at as next gen though. Cyberpunk if only because we have an example of it not really running on last gen. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaku3 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 It doesn't look exactly as good as other mentions but I will throw TW Warhammer 2 in this. 40v40 epic unit scale will bring just about anything to it's knees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimpleG Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 R@C is top notch but I loaded up Red Dead and as much as I hate the controls its in a class of its own ( if you have a PC that can do it justice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heydude93 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Don't have a next/current gen console yet, but from what I've seen Demons Souls and Rift in Time have more graphics than just about everything else at the moment, as expected. I played RDR2 for the first time in years and was floored by how Rockstar managed to pull off an open world game with those visuals on last gen hardware. Same with Remedy's Control, though I doubt the animations in cutscenes will hold up too well. Ghosts of Tsushima's visuals are nice with how alive the world feels and how much motion everything on screen has at all times. The Last of Us 2's attention to detail, the quality of the animation and everything else make it stand out. Rez Infinite...it might not be the best example given the minimalism of its art style, but I genuinely believe it's visuals might never feel antiquated in our lifetimes. The infinite levels are downright spellbinding when covering an entire wall via HD projector. Kena might be a contender for one of the most emotive 3D art styles out there, showing how close the industry is to genuinely achieving interactive Pixar movies.

GameDadGrant Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 This may not be a popular choice, but...Guilty Gear Strive is absolutely stunning. Also...check out some of those faux retro games on that new display. It’s not as “impressive” but games like Shovel Knight and Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon look awesome on modern monitors. If you’re into pixel art in any way, that is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XxEvil AshxX Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I wouldn't say it's the top of the list, but Gears 5 Hivebusters is quite pretty as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 RDR2 maxed out graphical settings running at 60fps is a sight to behold. For me that's the most impressive in terms of realistic graphics (as opposed to good art design, like Ori or Ratchet and Clank). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
