Best looking character models on consoles

The real-time Uncharted guy looks dumber or even alcoholic next to the custcene guy

I remember commentary on the nvidia mermaid (if you remember that demo from geforce 6 or so days), with a journalist's commentary that she looked stoned ,
here she is, looking decent but you pan the camera around and she kept the same canned looking at whatever.


So there is that doll effect for gameplay characters which must be hard to contain but they still look fantastic imo.

 

Hey, don't mess with my Nalu!

But yes, she looks kinda "happy", but the fault is because of those "self-illuminated" irises.

 

Psychology of fictional digital mermaids. Ok.

 

I agree with your choice. It makes me question Rocksteady in how are you guys able to push that kind of quality using that old Unreal Engine especially in specific regards to those gameplay quality assets taking a role in a large open world? Just really impressive stuff for me personally.

The Order 1886 impressed me as well when talking "raw" gameplay. There is still some uncanny valley with how the main character moves that makes me unease, but still overall it's impressive.

 

Mermaids are effing mermaids, dude. Get over it.

Yup, animations are the thing that make a true difference, to me (besides lighting, to me... again). It's no use having a realistic model and shaders, if characters move unrealistically (also, how the joints deform and clothes physics... or a lack thereof).

PS: your nickname is quite uncanny, too.

 

Until Dawn has about a dozen very finely detailed, scanned characters with evolving, layered clothing, beautiful skin and eyes!

Spoiler: LOTS MORE PICS

Yeah, Until Dawn is really nice. Time for some Elena love, really nice skin shading here, all during gameplay mind you (png to jpeg to save bandwidth):






Nice detail is the SSS on her face when directly lit


We are slowly getting there!

 

Paragon I think have a place in the list:









All of them screenshots taken from replays of real games.

 

Dont buy it there is no ui elements plus no console games run at 2048x1152
