With so many stunningly looking games been shown at this year's E3, it's hard to pick the best one but let's post your top 3 of the best looking games and briefly state your reasons.
Here's mine.
1. God of War (PS4)
Utterly amazing character model, lighting, fur shading, effects, huge scale and all comes together to portray a CGI esque frame with near flawless image quality. Knowing the franchise, this is nothing but a taste of the epic scale boss battles from what's to come.

2. Detroit Become Human
Human models are some of the best I've ever seen, cray amount of detail even in gameplay. A slew of high quality effects, post processing, pristine lighting and high fidelity assets everywhere. Truly a step above most other linear games.

3. Horizon Zero Dawn
The best looking ope world game to me, from the gorgeous volumetric lighting , shadow, cloud, to the sheer scale, density of environment detail, robotdinos and life like animations, this is probably the most technically advanced PS4 game thus far.

I feel like all three are roughly on the same level but GOW just has that extra oomph of CGI feel maybe due to the lighting and superb model that edges out the rest.
Honorable contenders are Battlefield 1 single player trailer, Days Gone for its World War Z horde in an open world game, Death Stranding if everything is what gameplay looks like then it would take the crown instead.
Let's share your thoughts.
 
I'd put Detroit in the same category as Death stranding. Both are tech demo without gameplay...or not much. I would just use the gameplay pics we have for Horizon, no need for any PR shots, at least we know this is the real deal. But yes both GOW and HZD are equally impressive:

Surprised no one mention Mass Effect: Andromeda. Single player focused game running on Frostbyte 3. Thought it looked great.

I saw both games video's and God of War and that Horizon game both are quite a large step backwards from Uncharted 4.
Im still trying to find a proper list of what was actually shown at e3 so I can make a more accurate judgement of the true graphical merits
 
I thought Forza Horizon 3 looked nice, but yeah i'd rank Horizon: ZD and GoW above all else, although Detroit looked fantastic as well. Gran Turismo Sport was a nice improvement. Dishonored 2 looks very nice too:

Other than the technical aspect i really liked how Sea of Thieves, Gravity Rush 2 and Zelda looked, very nice art direction and very colorful. I'd say the "best" for me would be either GoW or Horizon, with Horizon being more to my liking visually :)

Oh and i forgot Battlefield 1, that looks great as well, gameplay looked stellar to me.

Oh didn't realize Dishonored 2 looks this good:), I think there's still quite a few games that I might have missed. Forza Horizon 3 also looked damn awesome, just like how I want a current gen Motor Storm visually. The new COD surprised me graphically too, quite a leap over Blops 3 if you ask me.

I agree PR shots are too clean but those Gamersyde video screen dumps arn't nearly as good as png captures neither. At least in PR shots we can see the textures clearly without motion blur interference or microblocking:).
 
Robinson from Crytek looks really good too, i think that was a great E3 in term of graphics too. Lots of diverse looking games doing different things.
 
Didn't Crytek announce they were only going to be doing F2P titles after Ryse?
 
Sadly i totally missed this years E3 but there are some amazing looking games, apart from Sony's 1st party marvels, Forza Horizon, COD:IW and Dishonored look awesome.
