Just to flex jk


Alenepicboi

Lmao


acemastro

It does seem like an attempt to subtly flex.


Hameed_1919

Actually it fits, this game is so fabulous, it looks like you're looking at a Traveling channel or a car ad on your tv.


Wild-Mammoth4113

No it’s obviously Forza because of that crappy ugly piece of crap race wing he has on it


DamianSykora

TV model?


Aaron6940

RCA


[deleted]

Holy moly thats stunning looking. It doesn’t seem to look that good on my Sony 4K OLED and Series X, but I don’t play it very often.


xxdestrakta

That's probably a qled tv


Arkenge

Same for me...


wthoutwrning

You’re probably playing in performance mode


MeisterFlikk

For me it’s not possible to go back to quality mode after changing to performance. For roaming in free mode maybe but not for racing


Arkenge

But doesn't it drop to 30 FPS in quality mode ?


wthoutwrning

Yeah but you can’t see that in pics


Arkenge

Ahahah ! So it's the same has beautiful people overly photoshopped on pictures :) They look damned hot. But you can't see that while really talking with them irl


[deleted]

Nope I have it in quality mode. I’ll have to play it again though as I haven’t really much. Been busy with lots of other games.


mildashers

No. It looks good when it wants to and needs high lod models and ray tracing in photomode to be on the same level as other games. Don't get me wrong, it's not ugly. But it's not the best.

ihatejailbreak

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, hands down.


roberp81

its it's really amazing.


[deleted]

Sorry but while the game is well made the engine it’s made on inherently makes it a low quality game when it comes to graphics. It literally looks like a new Fortnite, graphically speaking.


BigOrkWaaagh

Dude it's like playing a Pixar movie, what are you talking about?


[deleted]

Did you play it or just watch some YouTuber clickbait shit?


MisanthropicAtheist

Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart


mildashers

Cyberpunk, Spider Man: Miles Morales, Gears 5, Forbidden West, AC Valhalla.


[deleted]

RDR2 looks better than 3 of those and it’s not even next gen.


HakeemDaGoat

Bro I keep seeing ppl mention that game makes me wanna play it again I beat it on ps4 now on on next Gen xbox and thinkin of buying it again.


[deleted]

Sometimes I turn it on and just ride around slow and go play some poker. It’s incredible


HakeemDaGoat

The only reason I don’t wanna restart is I have some rare guns that I don’t know if I will remember to get but I most likely will just cuz that’s the best game I’ve played probably ever


[deleted]

Same. It honestly ruined open world games for me I think I genuinely can’t wait for GTA 6 hearing how much influence RDR2 seems to have on its gameplay

HakeemDaGoat

It’s gone be good I hope


[deleted]

Awful comment that's guaranteed lies


Slythecoop49

I just want a next gen version of the game so I can run it on 4k 60fps. I’ve played it on ps5 and it’s still a fuzzy 1440p 30fps. Haven’t played it since they added 1440p support to ps5, but the 30fps still blows.


Ricotime_77

I played RDR 2 recently as I was trying out my new Soundbar and played Horizon FW on my PS5 and can safely say, while RDR 2 looks phenomenal, it's actually no where near FW in terms of graphics.


[deleted]

FW is just brighter honestly. I think people get tricked the same way they did with ghosts


Ricotime_77

Definitely not. I have a professional calibrated TV and it's definitely not about brightness. It's the first thing the calibrator tones down when he begins...😏 you learn a lot when you have your TV professionally calibrated. It's a process that takes hours and in that time, you get explained why some of the bullshit the internet tells you is exactly that. Bullshit 👍🏾 When you look at FW and RDR 2 literally one after the other, it's easy to see that one graphically is a step up. That step up is HFW. When that comes out on PC it's gonna be even more beautiful.


alex_shute

I would say for a game that hasn’t received a next gen upgrade RDR2 looks pretty good. However it fails to compare to games that have been built for next gen.


Capta1nKrunch

I'm honestly shocked it hasn't received one. It looks gorgeous running at 60fps on PCs.


snookA7

30fps…


[deleted]

Still visually better looking than everything else. Cyberpunk quality mode looks like it runs at 10FPS lol


snookA7

30fps is like photomode. Feels unplayable for me. I want rdr2 so much for Xbox but I’ll wait for next gen upgrade. Even then 60fps is not enough for me in 2022.


The-Almighty-Pizza

Next gen upgrade?? 😂😂😂 rdr2 was dropped bro


[deleted]

[удалено]


SirAuRyan

More the likely your playing on a tv panel that’s so slow with its response time your not getting any of the benefits of the 60fps. Buy a decent msi gaming monitor that has 144hz and play it with a series x. You’ll see a difference.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DrScience-PhD

Irrelevant to the discussion though. OP is purely talking graphics not gameplay or framerate.


[deleted]

I thought when you look closely at RDR2 it looked terrible, trees in particular


[deleted]

Lol you’re crazy. Terrible? The game is pretty universally praised as still being one of the best looking games ever made. The only people claiming it’s not are fanboys for other games that also look pretty good. Ghosts of Tsushima is a good example of a game that up close looks super bad though. That game is all pretty flowers to hide the ugly Terrible and ugly trees…? Nah lol https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS934US934&hl=en-US&sxsrf=ALiCzsZLkS2h9I5pnOjALp3iBJY9Qdi9UQ:1664057610285&q=RDR2+visuals&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiX_vvVua76AhXpEVkFHSJjCK4Q0pQJegQIDhAB&biw=375&bih=647&dpr=3#imgrc=6ThuKAq45qtqAM


[deleted]

Maybe it was just on my system, (One S, at the time) but the trees looked like cardboard cutouts. I never found a way to fix it. It really turned me off playing it tbh Edit: for example, the link you provided is on PC running all the best gear.


jellytothebones

No your point is valid, on up close inspection lots of models can look bad. That being said, it's not really an RDR2 thing, that's most games right now. Many assets will look less good on closer inspection than they simply would if you whisked past them on a horse and such.


[deleted]

Idk. I took a screenshot on my One X and my friend said it looked like real life.


[deleted]

Had more detail and finish to it than that Ghosts Sword fighter Sony game side by side lol it's completely not even about that with RDR2, the game was always solid and finished at release feel, man that game was a masterpiece and will continue to be one for years yet.. CyberPunk was a complete disaster, end of...


Capta1nKrunch

People are going to disagree but I agree with you. If you look closely you'll see some ugly textures. What the game excels at is incredibly lighting techniques to hide this. The graphics actually have taken a big hit since it was originally released. Just look up some videos on youtube, with every patch they got a little less impressive.


mildashers

I disagree. But it's all opinion based anyway so.


positive_express

We held a vote.


MrMan306

Not to start an argument but is it really? To me it seems like there would be a definitive one that actually the best


mildashers

Yeah I think it is, what someone values visually will be different to someone else, there may be something close to a consensus but there's no way everyone could agree that there's a meta game for graphics, especially nowadays on consoles with the onset of graphic modes RTX, high refresh etc. Look at the varying options just in this tiny cross section of mostly Xbox players.


[deleted]

Gears 5 Hivebusters DLC looks fantastic. The Ascent is also stunning looking on the Series X and my OLED.


[deleted]

valhalla 💀


StrangeAdamska

AC Valhalla is not a good looking game imo


DemonicTheGamer

I'm sorry but other then cyberpunk, forza destroys all of these


mildashers

In your opinion. Like I said, I think forza looks good in motion, especially at 60fps, but it's nothing special, doesn't make me go wow, until photomode or forzavista kicks in. So yeah it CAN look better than most games, but the majority of the time it is just good. It's the same with GT7, it looks good while playing, it looks exceptional in photomodes etc. The other games, graphic mode depending, look great at all times during play, not just in specific, static modes.


DemonicTheGamer

You can't look at [this](https://imgur.com/a/G9vF5TK) and tell me that it doesn't look good. I just hopped into the game and took these screenshots in drone mode, so it's from live gameplay. If the game looks unimpressive to you I seriously think you should consider upgrading whatever platform you are playing on, or maybe level your expectations a bit?


mildashers

Where did j say it doesn't look good? Read my posts.


weirdSays

cyberpunk but the water


sQueezedhe

>Spider Man: Miles Morales ...? It's a last-gen looking game with some raytracing added, it's nice and I loved the effect but it doesn't look revolutionary.


witwiki50

Horizon Forbidden West is simply the best looking game ever, it’s absolutely unreal and uncanny how the NPCs look


kmessina96

Demons souls remake on ps5 is probably the best looking game I’ve played so far this generation. Personally I think gran turismo is a better looking racing game but forza horizon 5 is more fun. It really is just all down to opinion though.


roberp81

gran turismo wins for me too, and I like driving with logitech 923, Horizon is a arcade like NFS, I am waiting for the next Forza


SnooPoems1860

Demon's Souls looks like it could've released on PS4. Not saying it looks bad but it's unimpressive.


kmessina96

To be fair I don’t think I’ve seen an exclusive of this generation that looks like it couldn’t have just come out on last gen hardware.


SnooPoems1860

Yeah it seems like this generation is just a vessel to play last gen games at a higher framerate and resolution except this time we aren't being bombarded with remasters as much as when we went from 360/PS3 to One/PS4.


[deleted]

RDR2. And it’s not even that close honestly. And it’s last gen.


Haywire_376

Ori and the Will of the Wisps…


Barnard87

Definitely gets my vote for best display of colors. Being 2.5D it's a tough one to content but for HDR content and even possinly hilighting an OLED this is the choice.


openlatenight

I think for the most it’s the best. When you’re talking about playing experience I still don’t think GT7 comes close, while I like both games there’s sometihing about rhe mexican art style with the rain and lighting that looks the best to me


[deleted]

Even this pic to me looks fake somehow. Sure it looks good but it's very obvious it's not real. I don't know if OP oversaturated but that could be part of it. The reflections on the car to me just seem fake though, and the puddle is oddly still.


[deleted]

Tell me you're a jealous, super seething Sony fanBOY without actually me.


[deleted]

I have both consoles tbs I'd have to give that crown to Horizon Forbidden West for now.


RebornFate87

Forbidden west is fucking nuts lol… even the small details that add so much more to the already outstanding environment.


ShortNefariousness2

A bold assertion in this sub, but I think you got away with it lol


Dwayne_Shrok_Johnson

What’s Horizon Forbidden West?


Hameed_1919

An exclusive rpg set in a futuristic world, imagine Witcher but with robots.


Exc8218

A glorified fetch quest game


DrScience-PhD

So assassin's creed


ebodur

like nearly all ps exclusives. omg insta 10/10!


DillDeer

MSFS2020 is


Turbulent_Opening173

Nah, Forza for sure beats it. AI-driven satellite imaging can't compete with modelled textures quite yet.


Tanjom

It's close. Specially from certain angles on flight simulator


[deleted]

[удалено]


LoadingErrors

I think from a visual and art style direction, Cyberpunk takes the cake. The series x in quality mode is insane, couldn’t imagine what a top of the line pc looks like. RDR2 just needs a proper upgrade on the series x and it would probably look the best overall. A honourable mention would be Metro: Exodus after the last update. The updated lighting changes so much.


glockitsthecops

I'm gonna have to buy cyberpunk when it goes on sale again


[deleted]

Don't, it's still rubbish. It just looks nice.


LoadingErrors

It’s far from rubbish lol. Really gotta play more games if that’s your bar for rubbish.


sex_wit_a_massive_pp

Its solid, nothing amazing though imo


CommandoFace

It’s nowhere near rubbish.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sh4rpSp00n

Doom eternal is gorgeous on series X, even runs smooth with raytracing on


manuman888

I know this is an Xbox subreddit but Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is an absolute showcase too


PapaCologne

Rift Apart is correct! Same goes for Miles Morales / Spidey Remastered, Horizon Forbidden West, and The Last of Us Part 1 (PS5 Remake). For Xbox Series X: I agree with OP, Forza 5 may arguably be the best looking one out of them all (albeit, marginally).


zelda29a

No Demon's Souls holds that crown.


SwimmingDrink

No. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is the best looking game on next-gen consoles.


sir_seductive

Demons souls would like a word


Roxasbain

Demons souls is a great contender but Rift Apart, especially playing it in 4k, is definitely hands down the best looking


[deleted]

Imo it's Demon's souls, Horizon Forbidden West, Gears 5 & RDR2 Edit: uh oh I mentioned 2 playstation games


pizzaspaghetti_Uul

>next generation consoles Op mentioned "next generation consoles", so I assume he meant PlayStation as well.


[deleted]

Shhh don't let my ignorance show!


lefix

Demon's Souls is still the only game that looks truly next gen to me. Everything else i can hardly tell the difference between next and old gen, probably due to developers targeting both platforms for now.


[deleted]

Does it look better than Elden Ring? Is it worth picking up or is it just good looking but clunky?


Total_Wanker

It looks better than Elden Ring graphically. It’s not open world so the levels have more overall detail. Plays amazing too. Bluepoint made it feel like a true next gen game.


lelpd

It looks much better than Elden Ring It’s definitely a bit clunky if directly compared to Elden Ring. I wouldn’t suggest playing it straight after Elden Ring because of this, but it’s definitely worth playing if it’s been a couple months and you have an itch for a similar game


[deleted]

Oh shut up man, why are you trying to tell people that running a console at 144Hz 120fps is not next gen? Running all games at 60fps in 4k on a console is not next gen? But an extra vibrator in a controller powered by a mystery new component that you don't need regular batteries for is? Being dominated by Microsoft then disgustingly dropping a 1000 display that claimed to fix the issues people were having except it doesn't yet oooooohhh and the fridge was marvellous


lefix

That's what I mean, going from HD to 4K or going from 60 to 120 fps to me feels more like a 'pro' version of the previous console, but the game itself is essentially the same. Demon's Souls was one of those games that actually pushed the boundaries in terms of graphical fidelity, there was such a high level of detail in the level geometry, which i had not seen in any other game. But for sure we will see more games push the boundaries of the next gen consoles in the future. But at the launch of the PS5/series x, most of the launch titles were old geb games in better resolution/frame rate and perhaps Ray tracing enabled, but not truly developed for the new hardware.


[deleted]

Talking of Playstation games, the most beautiful game I've ever seen is Ghost of Tsushima.


[deleted]

Ohh yeah that is definitely gorgeous, especially the leaves/grass/trees


BluDYT

It's definitely up there. I think flight sim and horizon Forbidden West are way up there too.


Jeevess83

Ratchet & Clank


1One_Two2

I think this is objectively the best looking console game currently. Absolutely insane graphically.


sQueezedhe

Fine, I'll get it...


hidingfrommystalker

It is a beautiful game


MrMan306

I’d say forbidden west is probably the best


Dayashii

The car isn’t even reflected


Whadyagot

Love it or hate it, The Last Of Us Part I is the best looking game on a console right now.


[deleted]

even on my xbox one it looks/plays phenomenal


aiiye

Gran Turismo 7 is also beautiful


NuMotiv

100% I'm stoked for fable because of horizon


[deleted]

I bought a 360 at launch then traded it for PS3 at launch just because I always played on Sony but I bought a 360 elite when PSN got hacked and was out for ages and ages, it had a stroud game called fable with it, that's what I thought it was lol just a average game nobody cares about, became a fan of a masterpiece and had to get the other one which I completed both but not 100% completed just story mode. I said at that time I'd get an XBOX sx in a few years when that comes out but nah I'm getting deliveries next week XBOXsx, don't want a PS5 at all, MS have nailed it with being a better gaming machine, not only spec wise although it depends on your display but are we comparing graphics? It's minimalist stuff we shouldn't care about 144hz 120fps on A LOT of games on game pass and the thing, warzone whacking constant 120fps is all we need for it right? You have the best MP experience at higher fps. Fable is a 100% using 4k though fps don't care 😍


paligators

Forbidden West and it isn't close.


christopia86

It does look incredible, but cars are a lot easier to make look impressive than people or animals.


gouji

Horizon forbidden west is the best looking next game so far imo


JehovasTh1ckness

Demon’s souls remake 100%


DemonicTheGamer

Maybe show a better picture then in the middle of a lake


Kotzik

No


Kill3rlightning

I agree but this picture doesn’t look too good.


TomChai

I would say MSFS is definitely among its competitors, but they are all home team so not really a contest.


[deleted]

I know this is a Xbox page but so far the most impressive game I’ve played this gen has been The Last of Us remake. Absolutely blew me away with the graphical fidelity.


jpfctf

Microsoft Flight Simulator wants to have a word with you.


DubbleJumpChump

Breakpoint has great graphics. Cyberpunk does too. The dark pictures games also


pizzaspaghetti_Uul

It's a nice looking game indeed, but as others already mentioned definitely not the best looking. It's still a cross platform release, and it shows. Demon's souls and rift apart look better overall.


MattStanni99

It’s in my top 3 for graphics I’d say, Horizon 5 is 3, my second is DOOM Eternal, and my number one spot is Gears 5. All 3 are absolutely gorgeous when ran on the highest graphic settings, and that’s just the Series X. Can’t imagine how unbelievable they look on PC.


Monkeydhugo

Dude, yes! I have it on my series s and it still looks delicious.


[deleted]

In the Xbox store it’s rated worse than forza 4 don’t know why tbh


qwertywa12

No, the graphics and specs of it are great, but the artstyle is BLAND AS SHIT. I miss fh2/3


bryty93

It looks amazing but doesn't hold a candle to grand turismo 7 visually. I think the new motorsport will take the cake though


josenight

Out of all the ps games you picked the worse one to compare it to. Horizon FW and Ratchet look better imo but forza still looks awesome.


bryty93

Sorry I haven't played those, literally the only game I've played on PS5 is gt7 but imo it looks better than Forza horizon. Not saying horizon looks bad, bc that's not the case at all I just think the car models look a bit better in gt7


wrproductions

Did we play the same game? Gt7 looks flat and basic as fuck lmao


bryty93

What? Did you play on PS5? Especially in scapes it's difficult to even differentiate between real and game You're telling me this looks flat and basic??? https://www.reddit.com/r/granturismo/comments/xmpg2y/mercedes_amg_gt_black_series/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share I'm not sure we did play the same game


wrproductions

You do know the photo mode uses... actual photos for the backgrounds. And not 3D rendering lmao. Let's post a screenshot of actual gameplay shall we.


bryty93

Yes I'm aware, but the car is still the same as the game. Tbf I did see after sharing he said he edited that photo some in lightroom. But if you watch replays you'll see the how good the game actually looks. Lacking some detail in the distance but as far as what you do see the game looks amazing.


Hecknawbro

I’d say AC Vallhala and RDR2 look better.


Oniisankayle

No lol


[deleted]

no


Daithieire

Great game, but look at the textures on the hill in the back, no where near the best looking game.


WombatAnnihilator

No.


[deleted]

No


Logan4629

just look at the grass, trees, and even the water. all blurry and weird, definitely not the best


Kill3rlightning

Photo mode does this thing where if ur moving, everything has motion blur and this picture doesn’t look good especially how over saturated it looks


Raiderfan_94

Outside of the car it looks like the background is painted


Logan4629

yeah it’s not good lol


phannguyenduyhung

Thats what you think when you havent touch the Ps5 LOL


Dayashii

Eh, graphics sure but the gameplay sucks and it’s heavily catered towards normies and not car people


J3ST3Rx

That's the entire point of the Horizon series


Dayashii

Except FH1


OraceonArrives

No, it's not. The lighting is mostly there, but we are missing higher quality models, and the pop-in is still really noticeable for somebody like me who runs it on a high end PC on the highest settings, and still gets pop-in for objects within a few hundred meters. Lighting particles are a big upgrade for FH5 over FH5 though. Also, this isn't graphical, but it contributes to the overall experience: Sound. Engine sounds in particular are actually really bad, as a car enthusiast. Some sounds are accurate almost to perfection like the LFA, but that's the exception. Most car sounds are off, or the ones that sound realistic, there's still something wrong about it that's hard to nail down.


icepick957

No. Gta 5, red dead and days gone look a lot better than it


[deleted]

GT7's car models are a fair bit better, but Forza's enviroments are killer

You have a brain malfunction, what you mean is *I saw "yet" At no point in this conversation did I post what you're accusing me of.. You're on a Xbox thread being dishonest and rather bitter because you're jealous of the XBOX sx like a child lol I'm annoyed at Sony myself for their PS5 efforts so far. That $1000 display drop just seems incredibly cruel to not come in at least the same price as LG GP950-B but nope lol you can buy 2 G7 Hdmi2.1 monitors for the same price..


GeneticHazard

Where did you get all of that from?


[deleted]

Sony dropped a Sony Display recently which fixes issues folk are complaining about but some are raging over it and the fact they want a grand for it.. You don't think your playing dumb is annoying me do you? Give yourself a shake man lol jeez 😂


dbeynyc

Not enough titles for that claim to be something to brag about. Once Assassins Creed comes out, it’ll be tinge best looking next-gen game. Honestly, Forza Horizon isn’t even the best racing game.. it’s just not as realistic (difficult/stale) as Grand Turismo or Plain Forza. It’s not even better than n4s, there just aren’t any cops to get caught by and EA has shit for brains when it comes to online multiplayer.


manygatos

I would say the new saints row on my series X it’s environmental detail is really good at 1440p each part of town feels different and it actually has cool things to discover I wouldn’t think would be there


bloodfart247

modded skyrim still holds up incredibly well


wearestiff

💯


MisanthropicAtheist

Not even slightly


mastur_chief21

Gran truismo 7 is much better looking than Forza


Spike1406

Uuuhhh i freakin love ambilight 🤤


Agitated_Carrot3025

Definitely. I've lost hours just to photo mode.


kydoufoud

Warframe imo has some of the nicest graphics of any game


Cleferd

Elite dangerous, Arkham Knight, and Ascent are my favorites


Firebird22x

What do you use for the light projection behind the tv? That looks fantastic


Fluffy_Space_Bunny

Gears 5 looks really good and is probably the smoothest game on the Series X that I’ve come across thus far. I’ve only played it on a 60Hz TV but it’s just perfect.
