  1. Alan Wake doesn’t do it for me. Cyberpunks pop in / pop out with traffic and LoD is very distracting. Surprisingly Avatar is very tight on the graphics and extremely dense / colorful and beautiful in all aspects without too many buggy distractions

  2. People keep hyping up Alan wake 2 graphics let me say this again. Cyberpunk path tracing looks better, Robocop environmental detail looks better & overall the best graphically looking game on pc to date is a plagues tale requiem.

  3. So it now seems that best graphics is reduce to have dense vegetation on a wide scale, and nothing else.
    Just ignore absolutely every detail about it, be it characters, interiors, water or even the obvious massive polygons on the forest floor that you guys showcased.

  4. The three 800p musketeers returns. These 3 games look like garbage unless you're playing on high-end pc. Pathtracing is not impressive it's easier to make and only relies on brute force. Great looking volumetric clouds, fake caustics, dense interactive foliage etc running at high res and 60fps on fixed hardware is much more impressive.

  5. Much of this is subjective in my view, although I understand the arguments based around lighting and environmental density.
    I am quite happy with games like "Super Mario Bros. Wonder" myself.
    In terms of "best graphics" – this is wide open to interpretation and taste.
    I have a friend who flips his lid when an indie game manages to capture prime 8 bit aesthetics.
    Out of the 3 games mentioned, I like Cyberpunk, just for the style and setting.

  6. Cyberpunk beats them all this year because the scope of that game whilst achieving photorealistic path traced graphics is unmatched.

    The only game I can see topping it is Grand Theft Auto VI, but we will have to see Rockstar's RT implementation, because at this moment in time, CD Projekt Red's is second to none…

  7. Avatar all the way, I've never played a game where I'm interested in seeing the whole map. It like getting to a new level on mario when I was 12. Just amazing. Bravo ubisoft. Just don't make another far cry.

  8. I just dove into Alan Wake 2 a week or so ago but haven’t had much time to play it, maybe an hour total. I will say that I’m blown away even on Series X. While Series X lacks the power that the top PCs can achieve, the game still looks stunning. Performance is amazing, rock solid frame rates from what I’ve seen so far, no noticeable dips or performance woes but again very limited time invested just what I’ve noticed so far.
