RDR2 is the only game where you´ll see riding my horse, wandering the srteets while slowly greeting everyone, and when tired, i´ll just head up to the saloon to have a drink or two while playing some poker with the good fellas of the town!
@@tanjem I’m not commenting about games themselves but the game engine libraries that created them are no joke, not even in the slightest. The mathematical aspect of the logic behind the physics simulations like lighting, collision, gravity…etc is insane. So I would suggest to cross check the facts before commenting about something as the game engine devs really made a fabulous job and it is indeed a masterpiece.
Can anyone imagine how awesome realistic gta6 will be when it's released . Cause yes rockstar dev team is extremely talented in graphical detail of there games .
Late to the game, but "Dishonored 2 - The Clockwork Mansion" mission was unbelievable. Not only looks great, but the intricate room-moving mechanisms made this level really stand out.
The "imaginary" cities or lost civilizations in Uncharted always were so beautiful. Especially Libertalia from Uncharted 4. Also the islands, also the cities, the desert kinda place too. Man, just the whole game!
Call of Duty have consistently had the best looking graphics in the industry. They are one of the few devs who did "realistic" graphics in the 360/ps3 gen that still looks good. In 07 we all were saying Uncharted looked better than Modern Warfare, but Call of Duty holds up way better than Uncharted 1.
@@shaid1111 not sure I agree on that one honestly, it looked good, but I’m not sure you can say they have consistently had ‘the best looking graphics’. Mainly because they looked very much the same up until the new modern warfare. I would be more inclined to say that battlefield was more consistent with good graphics even with the blue light issues of BF3/4, but, we all are entitled to our own opinions
@@jeremyblackwater439 it had me feeling anxious even though it was just a game, was expecting something to jump out and make me regret not wearing brown pants 😂 Would have been the perfect level for a spooky Easter egg
Some of my favorite graphics come from Arkham Knight and Control. those games are just beautiful throughout the entire game. The lights in Gotham City, and the pure spectacle in the facility are just mind blowing
Glad rdr2 was on here, one of the most incredible games I’ve ever played. Would also shout out the first mission, in the snow storm at night by later light. Was insane, I actually felt cold while playing it.
I love that games so fuckin much but it's been a year and I haven't finished it🤣 I literally have 240 hours in the campaign alone and I'm about 40 something percent done the story.
It’s my favorite game I’ve ever played. I’ve been through the story once and about half way through a second time. The story is amazing, you gotta finish it!!
@@kaded2367 Give it some more time, definitely. The game opens up and things get weirder and weirder, in a good way. The Oldest House is basically a connection with another dimension. That and for sure spend the time to read all the documents/folders you find. There's some good world building in there.
Assassins Creed: Valhala. England looks amazing but the stand out location to me is Norway. I live in New Hampsire so i really love it when games can capture the snowy montain envoriments. They knocked it out of the park. Say what you want about the story or the gameplay or even the fighting mechanics but the grapics and locations are stunning, pretty damn close to jaw dropping.
I found it a bit grainy and washed out on PC. Such a good game though! Really like the RPG style AC games (Yeah I'm one of those that doesn't play AC for stealth. Imo stealth is best left to 'Styx', Splinter Cell and few others). Perhaps my settings need tweaking?
@@thewaywardgrape3838 nah stealth in ac has def gone down hill for sure. So yeah i get loving it for the rgp elements. I played it on next gen xbox and it looked amazing, maybe it was your computer?
Battleflied 1 is in my opinion the best war game out there (as far as single player storyline). It's emotional and it makes you feel for every character, it gives you the full scope, crudeness and devastation of World War 1, it makes you feel impotent to what's going on. Not just the graphics, but also the aesthetic of every single section is fully immersing.
Battlefield 1 and V are one of my favorite stories taken from real life. Also not to mention the different views of the war which is something we really don’t get a lot.
8:26 I can't be the only one who thinks the graphics in the Yakuza footage look about as good or perhaps even a little worse than _Goat Simulator?_ The transition from the Mafia remaster to this is hilarious
I know I had a few 'wow this looks like its real' moments playing Division 1 & 2. The subway morgue level in Division one felt amazingly real the first time climbing down into it.
Doing the Lincoln Memorial after clearing NPC's just read the wall and it looks exactly like that at the top of the steps. At night I'll just walk the streets or down by the Mirror Pool and look and listen. It's real hard to beat.
@@yeahboyz9314 I tried 144p but learned it's not actually a resolution. Just ended up being a setting where communism censors the stuff it deems hazardous.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider beats all of them with high end graphics on PC. It is just insane in the beginning already with the RTX light reflections. Also Lara has probably the best face expressions I've seen in a video game.
@@m.h.4907 Firstly, shadow of tomb Raider doesn't even come close to the animation level and lighting of Rdr2. Secondly, sotr doesn't even have ray-traced reflections 😂😂😂. Only ray traced shadows.
@Nicholas It was super expensive and is definitely not worth it. Seriously there is no game where this card even starts to sweat. If I would choose again I would go for 3070 and 1440p/144hz . I'm playing in 4k and it is a fraud and bait. Not worth the effort for the results, just money dumping.
I was going to say that, and ghost of tsushima. The opening sequence. I notice that the opening sequence of games tends to be amazing and it feels like they slowly reduce detail as the game progresses. IMO.
That Cold War kgb mission just felt nostalgic for some reason. I think it subconsciously reminded of a game I used to play as a kid. That whole campaign was probably one of the most fun out of all the cod’s.
Also, as a person from Louisiana, who spent many times in New Orleans, they nailed the feel of it. Nailed. The sounds of the cobblestone on the streets, the music, the old buildings, the weather. You can feel the humidity when you play. It's amazing. They also nailed the swamps at night
Just FYI, only on high end pc with 2080 ti and 3080 can do ray tracing with full 60 fps. Ps5 and xbox series X runs at 30 fps with ray tracing on most games. Mile morales is 60 fps on performance and 30 fps on ray tracing and resolution.
I really love walking around futuristic Prague in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. They really went the extra mile creating this world. It's also really cool to see it gradually change into a warzone
Perhaps a little dated now but still very enjoyable for me is Numbers in CoD Black Ops. The setting in Kowloon, the interrogation scene to start the mission, traversing through the apartment buildings, the rooftop when the big jumbo jet flies overhead and the rain. Loved it.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2019 is probably the most detailed cod ever. Both Black Ops and Modern Warfare series will forever have a spot in my heart.
Great list, I was surprised that Ghosts of Tsushima didn’t make the list. Even though Bioshock is an old game already I think it holds up well and could be considered realistic in some areas. Also Forza Motorsport 7 and Grand Turismo Sport look VERY good!
Bioshock doesn’t really fit the criteria even though it looks great, it doesn’t have as great texture quality or lighting as games on this list under inspection. But the differences between bioshock and the games on this list is like the difference between itzhak Perlman and jascha heifetz
The fact that rdr2 is already 4 years old and STILL is ahead of other games when it comes to photo realistic graphics. Ok maybe not in the characters,and their movements, but look around the rocks,mountains etc...look more real than in ANY game I've ever seen🤗😎👍💙
Want to highlight control. It had some very detailed office space environments. And good amount of destructibility. It does look like a drab old office setup.
The thing i liked most about control is evrytime you change/fast travel a location it feels like your in a difrent area but if you run threw it you its smooth you might even miss that you changed an area .
A game that immersed me incredibly well recently was Forza Motorsport 7. I prefer to drive cockpit cam and every now and again I like to turn off the HUD. I decided to to the Nurburgring at night, by myself with no HUD. It was a friggen amazing experience honestly. You had to be in the right mindset to appreciate it I think. Most people look at Forza like a meme and give it hate because of its issues, rightly so. But if you can get past that and enjoy chilling by yourself in these ways, it's one of the best out there in my opinion, for console anyway.
Almost every level of every area and Ghost of Tsushima but that opening training session with your uncle looked so realistic and beautiful, and spoiler alert the final battle with your uncle looked absolutely amazing in the Sakai courtyard absolutely brilliant.!!
I just got done playing uncharted the lost legacy and honestly it’s very good. The story feels kinda short compared to a thieves end and the other uncharted games but the environment (India) feels very good to be in. It’s like taking a vacation to India to treasure hunt and quash a rebellion while you’re at it. It’s soooo good
Thats because your looking at a vehicle which usually look good in games and buildings that are really really far away. Try getting close to the buildings lol
Look. For Cyberpunk's faults, it is frustrating that people act like it isn't some of the most insane environment art there has ever been. I'm an ENV artist for a living, so it just bums me out a lot.
Yeah, Toussaint was a really awesome location in W3. I really wonder how the whole game including the B&W expansion will look like in the remaster version with ray tracing and stuff, hopefully will come this year. :D.
@@camfarenheit71 lol, I was just making room for my PS4 hard drive and I refused to take off Exodus because I know I will enjoy that game, just haven't invested the time in it yet. I'm so happy to hear you say the same thing I've been doing.
Yeah it’s sick and an underrated game pulling up in the train in the first open area was breathtaking and it’s gameplay is like those pc “online open world survival” games that never live up to the gameplay they show but exodus actually does
I was expecting to see Notre Dame from AC Unity. I know it's an older title, but the cathedral was recreated 1:1 and they are supposedly using the model from the game for the restoration after the fire.
It would be great to see a video about all the things that make RD2 feel like a living, breathing place! I know RD2 vids are common, but I think the story mode didnt get the respect it needed cause of the mods!! AAAND GO!!
Rise of the Tomb Raider has some incredible scenarios and locations. The lighting and shadow play is absolutely remarkable. Sometimes the lighting is so perfect, it's almost hard to tell whether Lara is real or not.
both tomb raiders I belived were super underrated I played through them both first day when I got them with my console lol. havnt been so into a game like that since mafia 2
Just finished Rise, and I agree. The game really is stunning, especially the lightning in some of the caves, really brought life to the game. This was a base ps4 btw!
For some reason I really enjoyed all the levels of Resident Evil Village. Truly a masterpiece with so much attention to detail in every little corner. I spent hours just walking around exploring every level, trying to find every little thing... Looking back at it now it feels weird that I almost didn't buy it because I wasn't really interested in it, now it is one of the best games that I remember playing.
Just playing through the game now as it is part of the ps+ and I have to say I agree. The image quality it's sharp and some of the cutscenes are mind-blowing, they look better than some Disney animations. I'm also amazed by how well it runs, well done Square.
I especially like seeing reflections on surfaces. It's great to se reflections in mirrors, where they are expected. But reflections on polished surfaces , like the KGB conference table? That is over the top excellent, and true attention to detail. Many game designers would have omitted those reflections.
I’m surprised they didn’t include Notre Dame in the list. Purely based on the fact that it is stunning when inside but also that they are using Ubisoft’s model of it to help rebuild the real life one.
@@jamesbedford7277 they are not using, it's fake news. ubisoft offered theyr help but there was no need for it as Notre Dame has theyr own much better models and so on, but i get it, it sounds cool
God, seriously. I would just crank my graphics to max and just stare at the sun shining through the windows of the De La Serre mansion. The way the light made the gold details shine was so good. It was the most real-feeling area of the whole game, and the entire game felt pretty damn real.
@@thebaddestlarry9424 Honestly, my game of the decade. And I really love Doom Eternal and Mirror's Edge: Catalyst. Ghost was just nigh fucking flawless though.
Saint-Denis incredibly crafted of course but the wilderness is the best part of RDR2 to me. When you leave the snowy mountains and reach the main camp for the next chapter I was blown away by the view.
I agree with this one, the snow is probably the best I've seen in a game, and the view from several places on that mountain is also top video game locations.
Cyberpunk running with psycho settings on a 3090 beats all of this in many areas. Or is it because it's not based in real-life areas? The nomad areas? The bar scenes? Incredible detail.
Horizon Zero Dawn and Detroit Become Human, two games with incredible graphics and I would be hard placed to find a scene or location in the games that didn't graphically blow me away with the detail and realism.
Man we've come along way from "Super Mario Brothers". I remember when I was a kid, we'd get amazed by games like "Mike Tysons Punchout" and "Contra" when they came out. The graphics were awesome back then
I can't wait until rdr3. The graphics and story will be so good that you will think it is real life. The only problem is it will take 50 years to release
RDR2 has the best story in any game- No, _all of entertainment_ so far. Even more than the LOTR movies, New Vegas, Interstellar, Yakuza 0, etc. The only story that comes close to RDR2's is Berserk.
if this had a part 2, i would HIGHLY and by that, HIGHLY include the games control and a plague tale: innocence. two infamously underrated games that have stunning visuals and environment
@@DsgSleazy I am aware. I meant original as in "the first place to be called Saint-Denis." I was referring to the place the new colony of Saint-Denis was named after. Like how New England is named after England because of all the English colonies named after original English locations. I know they are two different places in two different countries. That was my point.
Even now, mod it and it competes with rdr2. I liked the beautiful skellige to the warm colours of toussaint. It is a complete package. Bought goty for $4 dollars in steam sale and feel like I've robbed the developers. I have played it for 98 hours and only completed the story and first dlc, I still need to complete the second dlc that is said to be 50 hours long.
Agreed, Toussaint from Blood and Wine and Skellige from the original game look straight out stunning! And they are so dense with details and deeply thought design. Loved it! Though I still love Metro.Exodus and rdr2 better, but they both came out later, so it's unfair to compare. The forest location in Metro was just jaw-dropping! And the level of details on the train... Man, I literally spent HOURS on that train, looking around, exploring all the small things, like cute curtains, original mugs, all the posters and so on... I have very warm feelings for that place, it felt like it really mattered to everyone around there. Same goes for all the rdr2. Pure masterpiece with godlike views, stunning places and immersive atmosphere
@@OcnarfPro what? Witcher 3 on Switch looks so bad. There are no shadows and novigrad looks like a ghost town with no population. It is pc where it shines
Witcher 3 : The wild Hunt has probably some of the most visually aesthetic graphic design , but i think when we talk about realism, titles like witcher 3 don't count. They're more artistic.
Excellent video, would really appreciate if you can also list the games in the description or at least show the Titles in video while talking about it. Keep up the good work...
The Last of Us 2 was fun for me because I live in Seattle and I noticed things like a Jamba Juice store rebranded as a fictional smoothie store, but it was exactly the same internal layout and colors as a Jamba Juice. Oh also, they included a Nordstrom store that looked familiar, so I looked it up on Google Streetview according to the street signs in game and sure enough, it was a Nordstrom store.
For some reason my last of us 2 looked really dark same with AC Valhalla not sure what the issue is tried turning off HDR and all that... but other then that the graphics were amazing!
i think a lot of hitman games had pretty cool effects indoors and outdoors .. like when your are in russia in hitman 2 or japanese castle.. or in later games a lot of cool levels.. to walk in. great video.
When i play games, is all about surrondings, i am amazed how good they are. So much details on everything, i love it. I looking forward in the future, when i can be in the game myself. I think that future is very close. Already today they can put touch, smell and taste in to VR. Is not out yet but i read it. So i guess in 20-30 years, the game industri would be mindblowing.

Yeah mankind divided was made on a modified version of hitman 3's glacier engine, that must be the reason why it looks that good.
Eidos Montreal's Deus Ex and shadow of tomb raider are masterpiece ❤️
Perhaps a little dated now but still very enjoyable for me is Numbers in CoD Black Ops. The setting in Kowloon, the interrogation scene to start the mission, traversing through the apartment buildings, the rooftop when the big jumbo jet flies overhead and the rain. Loved it.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2019 is probably the most detailed cod ever. Both Black Ops and Modern Warfare series will forever have a spot in my heart.
The police station locker room in San Andreas… Doesn’t get any more real than that

In Ghost of Tsushima I rarely fast travel... nearly moved to tears when the sunsets in that game!
Watch the real one X_X
I just finished playing this today.. Such an emotional journey and truly stunning..
Amazing game, I have so many screenshots
What's the game name? 5:37
@@user-vz1gr1hb6c Uncharted 4
9:13 I played this a few days ago on max settings and it's gorgeous, my jaw dropped when I first walked down that train station walkway
All of the hitman 3 levels are incredibly realistic, along with those mentioned in the video - look at Berlin, Mendoza and Dubai
Imagine having these graphics on VR.
Give it time
I can't wait for affordable 4K VR
Hi to all people who are going to react to this comment in 10 years.
on vr if I murder anyone I will be depressed whole life
Can't wait
Great list, I was surprised that Ghosts of Tsushima didn’t make the list. Even though Bioshock is an old game already I think it holds up well and could be considered realistic in some areas. Also Forza Motorsport 7 and Grand Turismo Sport look VERY good!
Just wait until Sony decide to port Ghost of Tsushima to PC. Then it will definitely make the list.
Bioshock doesn’t really fit the criteria even though it looks great, it doesn’t have as great texture quality or lighting as games on this list under inspection. But the differences between bioshock and the games on this list is like the difference between itzhak Perlman and jascha heifetz
ghost of tsushima has really great art direction and it looks beautiful, but it doesn't look the most realistic.
I imagine when one is saying "realistic" all the settings are cranked to max.
@@David0gden It's almost criminal that the PS4 was too weak to handle the visuals of the original E3 reveal. It was insane.
The fact that rdr2 is already 4 years old and STILL is ahead of other games when it comes to photo realistic graphics. Ok maybe not in the characters,and their movements, but look around the rocks,mountains etc...look more real than in ANY game I've ever seen🤗😎👍💙
No Half Life: ALYX? I've been PC gaming since the early 90s and I've never seen anything so fundamentally, ground-breakingly realistic.
Want to highlight control. It had some very detailed office space environments. And good amount of destructibility. It does look like a drab old office setup.
Is that better than F.E.A.R which had a lot of office space?
The thing i liked most about control is evrytime you change/fast travel a location it feels like your in a difrent area but if you run threw it you its smooth you might even miss that you changed an area .
Despite its terrible launch, the graphics on cyberpunk is also amazing the driving though the city and all js
Correction, some parts looks amazing on high end pc
The animations are really good tbh when they work
i played it on ultra, it looked so lifeless imo.
@@donutello_ why exactly did it look so lifeless to you?
@@donutello_ should've played it on Psycho then.
A game that immersed me incredibly well recently was Forza Motorsport 7. I prefer to drive cockpit cam and every now and again I like to turn off the HUD. I decided to to the Nurburgring at night, by myself with no HUD. It was a friggen amazing experience honestly. You had to be in the right mindset to appreciate it I think. Most people look at Forza like a meme and give it hate because of its issues, rightly so. But if you can get past that and enjoy chilling by yourself in these ways, it's one of the best out there in my opinion, for console anyway.
Almost every level of every area and Ghost of Tsushima but that opening training session with your uncle looked so realistic and beautiful, and spoiler alert the final battle with your uncle looked absolutely amazing in the Sakai courtyard absolutely brilliant.!!
I remember first time I explored Saint Denise at night. It blew me away how gorgeous the graphic was. Especially the lightning tech is really good.
Lol saint denise was the best area on the map imo.
When I first got to Saint Dennis in rdr2 i was just like:
"Wow"
Same.... was it nighttime by chance? The lighting was 😮
Yes with 20fps lol
Tbh I enjoyed the countryside more than the saint denis, liked it more in valentine and co
i didnt notice anything but mary janes jeans
Saint denis Stinks!
-Arthur Morgan
The list can't get any better, definitely top 10 and must play
Far cry 5 and I know it’s an older game but I remember my mind been blown in the lost mayan ruins dlc for assassins creed 3
5 years later "damn look at this pixelated shit"
Tbh i dont give a fuck about a games graphics it just needs to be good.
@@kaius3866 Agreed
because TV and monitors becomes bigger size and resolution and creates the illusion of pixelated. else everything looks damn sharp on a 5 inch phone

Unless one is playing a dystopian game.
@@amakky1989 tierzoo's favorite game
Let's hope that never happens. There will be more cases where people will find the real life a simulation and the simulation a real life
I just got done playing uncharted the lost legacy and honestly it’s very good. The story feels kinda short compared to a thieves end and the other uncharted games but the environment (India) feels very good to be in. It’s like taking a vacation to India to treasure hunt and quash a rebellion while you’re at it. It’s soooo good
You threw in my favorite game as a bonus, ily 💕
MS Flight Sim, The graphics are photorealistic, sometimes you have to do a double-take
I can’t wait to play it!!
This was my first thought, but they are talking about specific levels. The whole of MFS looks extraordinary.
Except flying very low
Thats because your looking at a vehicle which usually look good in games and buildings that are really really far away. Try getting close to the buildings lol
This was a seriously noobie list
Look. For Cyberpunk's faults, it is frustrating that people act like it isn't some of the most insane environment art there has ever been. I'm an ENV artist for a living, so it just bums me out a lot.
I agree brotha 💯
No
No
🤩🤩🤩
Man I love everything about cyberpunk. The game is great and it's not as bad as people made it out to be. Agree 100%
I would like to take a moment to say that your intro sound effect is perfection.
Honestly I was impressed by TLOU2,RDR2 beautiful world building and graphics
Toussaint from Witcher 3; never seen such elegance in any game ever, sheer beauty.
Yeah, Toussaint was a really awesome location in W3. I really wonder how the whole game including the B&W expansion will look like in the remaster version with ray tracing and stuff, hopefully will come this year. :D.

Metro exodus is such an underrated game
I can't run it ) :
I passed on the game for so long and really wish I hadn’t. Enjoying it immensely!
It's a pretty decent 8/10 game.
@@camfarenheit71 lol, I was just making room for my PS4 hard drive and I refused to take off Exodus because I know I will enjoy that game, just haven't invested the time in it yet. I'm so happy to hear you say the same thing I've been doing.
Yeah it’s sick and an underrated game pulling up in the train in the first open area was breathtaking and it’s gameplay is like those pc “online open world survival” games that never live up to the gameplay they show but exodus actually does
I was expecting to see Notre Dame from AC Unity. I know it's an older title, but the cathedral was recreated 1:1 and they are supposedly using the model from the game for the restoration after the fire.
It would be great to see a video about all the things that make RD2 feel like a living, breathing place! I know RD2 vids are common, but I think the story mode didnt get the respect it needed cause of the mods!! AAAND GO!!
I'm surprised Metro: Exodus isn't on this list
I was looking through the comments for just this!
Someone said it! It's such a beautiful game graphics AND story-wise! Both endings 😢
So do I
Wtf is that?
Same Metro was absolutely stunning
Rise of the Tomb Raider has some incredible scenarios and locations. The lighting and shadow play is absolutely remarkable. Sometimes the lighting is so perfect, it's almost hard to tell whether Lara is real or not.
And Shadow of the Tomb Raider too :)
both tomb raiders I belived were super underrated I played through them both first day when I got them with my console lol. havnt been so into a game like that since mafia 2
Just finished Rise, and I agree. The game really is stunning, especially the lightning in some of the caves, really brought life to the game. This was a base ps4 btw!
Fantastic shout!
I love how detailed and realistic cutscenes look in ROTR.. especially the facial animation.
For some reason I really enjoyed all the levels of Resident Evil Village. Truly a masterpiece with so much attention to detail in every little corner. I spent hours just walking around exploring every level, trying to find every little thing... Looking back at it now it feels weird that I almost didn't buy it because I wasn't really interested in it, now it is one of the best games that I remember playing.
Surprised there wasn't a single Tomb Raider entry, some of those scenes blow me away everytime I see them!
Final Fantasy 7 Remake has some really really good looking parts
Just playing through the game now as it is part of the ps+ and I have to say I agree. The image quality it's sharp and some of the cutscenes are mind-blowing, they look better than some Disney animations. I'm also amazed by how well it runs, well done Square.
Especially the door at the Inn near Seven Heavens :p
Agreed
No, it looks muddy
Came to find this.
I especially like seeing reflections on surfaces. It's great to se reflections in mirrors, where they are expected. But reflections on polished surfaces , like the KGB conference table? That is over the top excellent, and true attention to detail. Many game designers would have omitted those reflections.
The reflection effects are amazing!
Any Palace or Rich house interiors in AC: Unity. Coming from the last Gen games the lighting and reflection was near photo-realistic.
I’m surprised they didn’t include Notre Dame in the list. Purely based on the fact that it is stunning when inside but also that they are using Ubisoft’s model of it to help rebuild the real life one.
@@jamesbedford7277 True. It was really detailed.
@@jamesbedford7277 they are not using, it's fake news. ubisoft offered theyr help but there was no need for it as Notre Dame has theyr own much better models and so on, but i get it, it sounds cool
@@jamesbedford7277 It was only said that it was potentially detailed enough that they could use it, but they never said they ARE using it, to be fair.
God, seriously. I would just crank my graphics to max and just stare at the sun shining through the windows of the De La Serre mansion. The way the light made the gold details shine was so good. It was the most real-feeling area of the whole game, and the entire game felt pretty damn real.
Naughty Dog's commitment to using textures and objects just ONCE for their games needs more praise. Their commitment to not recycling is unparalleled.
Not their cars though, they re-use them a lot (Chevy Aveo, 4th gen Honda Civic..)
Too bad they spit in the player's faces with their politics. Many won't buy their games anymore. We want good games, not agendas shoved in our face.

It's really impressive the graphics of the recent games.
Just finished Ghost of Tsushima yesterday and it was spectacularly beautiful aside from the engaging story. My goty 2020
Easily, such an amazing game. Everything about it was amazing, the story, the gameplay, the stealth, the graphics and scenery. Just fucking awesome
@@thebaddestlarry9424 Honestly, my game of the decade. And I really love Doom Eternal and Mirror's Edge: Catalyst.
Ghost was just nigh fucking flawless though.
Saint-Denis incredibly crafted of course but the wilderness is the best part of RDR2 to me. When you leave the snowy mountains and reach the main camp for the next chapter I was blown away by the view.
Me too and everytime the gang moved to a new camp
I agree with this one, the snow is probably the best I've seen in a game, and the view from several places on that mountain is also top video game locations.
Imagine travelling back in 90s with a 4k TV and a ps5 and showing these to some kids playing Goldeneye 64
👀
Can’t believe someone rates it so precisely. This is what I believe! These levels are jaw dropping.
Cyberpunk running with psycho settings on a 3090 beats all of this in many areas. Or is it because it's not based in real-life areas? The nomad areas? The bar scenes? Incredible detail.
I'd still take maxed out rdr2 with modded lights
I agree that Cyberpunk is awesome graphically, but nothing touches rdr2's maxed out graphics and details. At least for me.
Exodus last chapter absolutely made my jaw drop. The dark tunnels with ray tracing was insane.
Saint Denis is my favorite city/town location as well, with Strawberry coming in at a close second. I just love the cozy rustic feel of Strawberry..
It's a shame Strawberry doesn't have a saloon.
You guys make great lists.
Uncharted 4 was the first game that made me go "whoa" in a video game
Ya! one of the best I have ever played :)
Me too. It was beautiful. The chapter when you explore the old woman’s house looking for your mothers journal - wow!
I think I need to play this again 😉
Horizon Zero Dawn and Detroit Become Human, two games with incredible graphics and I would be hard placed to find a scene or location in the games that didn't graphically blow me away with the detail and realism.
horizon zero dawn will be free next month on ps4
Man we've come along way from "Super Mario Brothers". I remember when I was a kid, we'd get amazed by games like "Mike Tysons Punchout" and "Contra" when they came out. The graphics were awesome back then
Nicely done, thank yiu
Red Deads the best in my opinion in terms of graphics and story. It’s just mind blowing.
And on 2013 hardware mind blowing 🤯
Fr fr
I can't wait until rdr3. The graphics and story will be so good that you will think it is real life. The only problem is it will take 50 years to release
RDR2 has the best story in any game- No, _all of entertainment_ so far.
Even more than the LOTR movies, New Vegas, Interstellar, Yakuza 0, etc.
The only story that comes close to RDR2's is Berserk.

if this had a part 2, i would HIGHLY and by that, HIGHLY include the games control and a plague tale: innocence. two infamously underrated games that have stunning visuals and environment
Absolutely, the lightning in both game is very well done !
Control running in full RT was pretty amazing.
Assassin's Creed Unity: Notre Dame
Call Of Duty WWII: D-day
The 2 I remember the most
exactly what i was thinking. you dont live out assassins creed games especially ac unity if you are talking about realistic graphics.
Fun fact: The original Saint Denis was in the dlc of Unity as well. Aka Franciade.
@@raiden6428 they're two different places with completely different architecture, idk if you can really call it the original.
@@DsgSleazy I am aware. I meant original as in "the first place to be called Saint-Denis." I was referring to the place the new colony of Saint-Denis was named after. Like how New England is named after England because of all the English colonies named after original English locations. I know they are two different places in two different countries. That was my point.
The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt, was really breathtaking for me at the beginning with the mountains and everything later with the overall feeling and graphics
Even now, mod it and it competes with rdr2. I liked the beautiful skellige to the warm colours of toussaint. It is a complete package. Bought goty for $4 dollars in steam sale and feel like I've robbed the developers. I have played it for 98 hours and only completed the story and first dlc, I still need to complete the second dlc that is said to be 50 hours long.
Agreed, Toussaint from Blood and Wine and Skellige from the original game look straight out stunning! And they are so dense with details and deeply thought design. Loved it!
Though I still love Metro.Exodus and rdr2 better, but they both came out later, so it's unfair to compare.
The forest location in Metro was just jaw-dropping! And the level of details on the train... Man, I literally spent HOURS on that train, looking around, exploring all the small things, like cute curtains, original mugs, all the posters and so on... I have very warm feelings for that place, it felt like it really mattered to everyone around there.
Same goes for all the rdr2. Pure masterpiece with godlike views, stunning places and immersive atmosphere
Especially on the switch
@@OcnarfPro what? Witcher 3 on Switch looks so bad. There are no shadows and novigrad looks like a ghost town with no population. It is pc where it shines
Witcher 3 : The wild Hunt has probably some of the most visually aesthetic graphic design , but i think when we talk about realism, titles like witcher 3 don't count. They're more artistic.
Excellent video, would really appreciate if you can also list the games in the description or at least show the Titles in video while talking about it.
Keep up the good work...
wow that south indian temple architecture is great in uncharted 😮 they did a great job
The Last of Us 2 was fun for me because I live in Seattle and I noticed things like a Jamba Juice store rebranded as a fictional smoothie store, but it was exactly the same internal layout and colors as a Jamba Juice.
Oh also, they included a Nordstrom store that looked familiar, so I looked it up on Google Streetview according to the street signs in game and sure enough, it was a Nordstrom store.
"The Last of Us 2" part in the beginning, when you are in the forest with Dina, headed to Seattle
That part is so detailed
I was in awe on a base ps4... those naughty gods man
For some reason my last of us 2 looked really dark same with AC Valhalla not sure what the issue is tried turning off HDR and all that... but other then that the graphics were amazing!
Facts
BASE PS4 and I was stun cant wait to go back to that game on the ps5
i think a lot of hitman games had pretty cool effects indoors and outdoors ..
like when your are in russia in hitman 2 or japanese castle.. or in later games a lot of cool levels.. to walk in.
great video.
Also the underground lab in Outlast looks amazing
Gameranx : plays theme intro

Saaame every holiday I have a tradition of playing through it on the way to the hotel.
RDR2 had my jaw dropping so many times. Such a beautiful world.
When i play games, is all about surrondings, i am amazed how good they are. So much details on everything, i love it. I looking forward in the future, when i can be in the game myself. I think that future is very close. Already today they can put touch, smell and taste in to VR. Is not out yet but i read it. So i guess in 20-30 years, the game industri would be mindblowing.
Keep up with the awesome videos appreciate mate thumps up 👍💯
The chance scene in Detroit Become Human was incredibly cinematic. Love that sequence. Especially when switching to it's cinematic camera
