they also seem way too willing to do work for hire that no one is happy with, it feels like they need to reevaluate their willingness to sign these contracts

what is the most graphically impressive game out there right now, in yâallâs opinion?

itâs already kind of old now but i was genuinely impressed by some of the visuals in Prey (2017).
that may be more of a result of lighting + art design, but i guess itâs hard to disentangle those things for me. stuff like ray tracing doesnât add that much to the visuals to me personally.

Strive is a really good contender
Control probably wowed me the most between visual fidelity and having better art direction than most games of that budget

I donât know how the PC port of Uncharted 4 turned out, but if it maintained the visual fidelity while also running at 60 or higher thatâs what Iâd consider the ideal maximum for videogame visuals.

I donât know if graphically is the right word but Sable is the one that jaw-dropped me the most.

I think, judging from the answers here and from my first reaction to this earlier today, thereâs a case to be made that we still havenât gone beyond the peak of ~2020 releases (eg half life alyx), because the next/current generation is still pretty tightly bounded.
the matrix ue5 demo is probably the best exception to this which is further proof that weâre waiting for ue5 stuff to roll out before this needle moves

This question makes me realize weâd quietly entered a lull where nobody is especially trying hard anymore to gain the crown of âobjectively most impressive graphics everâ.
High-budget games had been jockeying for that for two entire decades, between Quake (1996) and Uncharted 4 (2016). But if anyone has seriously tried in the last 7 years to qualify, I didnât notice.
Some of it is that they started competing for âbiggest open world everâ instead, and some of it is that theyâre all still targeting the PS4 as minimum spec.

i am prompted because as iâve been playing through death stranding on PS5, iâve been like, welp this is it this is the end of graphics so many times
just staring at the environments in awe
getting that ânice viewâ feeling from a videogame(!)
so, thatâs my pick. death stranding (PC/PS5)

Elden ring was often very ps3 looking but its a game that made me realize that i dunno if graphical fidelity will ever impress me again, because looking at the low res ass sky full of stars in that game was as beautiful as anything they could show off in a fancy tech demo

Gravity Rush 1&2 are the only studio games in the last 15 years that deliver on the promises of the PS2 era.

the thing that struck me about elden ring at the time was it had really fantastic framing. itâs like they took the concept art and then just literally made that scene at that angle in their game. itâs super âopenâ but you somehow get corralled into seeing picturesque vistas that are perfectly framed like a painting over and over again
