Red Dead Redemption was a very similar story. I think Hitman Absolution might have had the most pleasing graphics to look at though.
Yes, it was very linear, but the image quality was amazing and the style was so beautifully consistent that everything just worked. I really think Absolution is criminally underrated in terms of its graphics. Uncharted 3 was right up there too although I hated the changes to combat and controls that they made from 2 , it had great textures and image quality. VanCityGamer said:. I'd love that since the only Killzone I've ever played is Shadowfall.
I thought it was gorgeous graphically, but just an okay game. Killzone 2 and 3 appear to be much better. Last edited: Sep 17, Issen Member.
Nov 12, 5, Among the poll choices probably Halo 4. It had some pretty open warfare areas that were mindblowing.
However, in general, I'd have to go with either Sonic Unleashed legit some pixar-level shit despite the framerate and to date still the best looking Sonic game ever made or Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 beautiful, colorful visuals, razor sharp textures, character models and resolution, and a pretty solid, high framerate most of the time. Roy Member. Oct 27, 2, Gran Turismo 6. Graphics were so impressive that people were doing comparisons between it and Forza 5, which was on Xbone!
Oct 25, Halo 4 was impressive last gen and honestly looks a current gen game on Xbox One X, which reinforces how the base game on is visually fantastic. Elfotografoalocado Banned. Oct 27, 5, Spain. Caroll said:. Oct 28, 1, Portugal. Roy said:. Nov 16, 1, Forza Horizon for me. Dictator Digital Foundry Verified.
Not including third party games in the OP poll? Without framerate in mind, the answer is invariably one of the Crysis games. But then you get into the engines prowress, and Halo 3 was the last Insane detailed sandbox in a Halo game Halo reach is close, but not really.
In one hand, and in another. Camonna Tong Member. Mar 2, 1, Halo 4 was beautiful all around and visually impressed me the most. No, I wasn't talking about game engines at all. Dictator said:. RossoneR Member. Oct 28, Killzone 2 easilly.
Where re the gifs?? MP, 32 players, bots, mines, grenades Trisc Member. Oct 27, 5, I'd say TLoU, but going through it again, it's way too confined for me to be as impressed by it as I was Halo 4. Halo 4's lighting, particles, and scope in levels make it really damn impressive.
You could tell that game was pushing the to its limits especially considering how weapons disappeared from the ground after like 30 seconds to clear memory, which was annoying. I'd give TLoU the leg-up if we were talking TLoU Remastered, with its improved texture filtering and shadow resolution the PS3 version has some blocky shadows , but we're talking the PS3 version, and frankly, I'm just not as impressed by that as I am Halo 4.
I think TLoU is the better game of the two, sure, but graphically, Halo 4 really is just astoundingly pretty, even now. Oct 25, 9, From 'quake area to big OH. Halo 4 looked pretty crazy to me at the time. Gears 3 also show cased every trick of the Unreal Engine. ClydeBonFrog Member. Apr 17, The Last of Us, mainly because of the interiors, they were crazy good looking.
I'm not entirely sure if that's from the PS3 version, but I remember the Ps3 version looking like that. Mar 17, 2, I'd go with Last of Us, but Uncharted 3 had some absolutely insane shit going on. The remaster was ridiculously good looking. Deleted member user requested account closure Banned. Sep 10, 2, Metal Gear Solid V is the best looking game in last gen consoles.
God bless the Fox engine. Trafalgar Law Member. Nov 6, 4, I remember DmC looking really really good. I thought Rise of the Tomb Raider looked excellent on the x Edit: Though, it wasn't technically an exclusive as it came out on the PS4 a year later. Adookah Member. Nov 1, 4, Sarajevo.

While this action-adventure game tries very hard to present a goofy, cartoony aesthetic with its colorful visuals, it mostly just comes off as cheap and rushed. It's also a peculiar choice given the game's often lewd, "mature" themes that clash with the style.
