I mentioned kz3. I liked that kz3 was much more colorful as kz2 looked too similar between areas imo. But besides art style preferences they both looked great graphically
I played Quantum Break on PC the other day and it looked very much like a high-end raster game which could have been released in 2019 as well. Very impressive. However, all the recorded cutscenes were very annoying.
Ryse I thought was very good too but SW Battlefront 2015 Endor surpasses Ryse on PC in my opinion. Crytek should had also reduced the large HUD. It damaged the aesthetics a bit.
However, this should be in an Xbox One PlayStation 4 thread.

I don't know if you are serious or joking.
In 2 years there was only DX10 GPUs
I agree. If we take games by type then GTA 5 is best in that category.
You are right, but I try to know everyone's opinion about number 1 game. And because of that almost in all game series next game was with better graphics overal. GTA 4 and RDR was great for time they released, but later on they was surpassed by next game.
Also why no one mentioned Resistance 3 and Ratchet & Clank Into the Nexus. Those were games with great graphics and I even think graphics in Resistance 3 was better than in Killzone 3. RAtchet games were 60 fps, and with great graphics and phisics for so high fps.
R&C Into the Nexus was 30 fps. Damm you Mike Acton! I'm glad you got fired!
when I first saw Gears of War 2 I couldn’t believe how good it looked. It was a shock how good it looked and how good it ran compared to first one. Tomb raider reboot was super impressive as well. Other than that mw2 the sniper scene in the trailer. Wow. That was something. And of course God of war 3. Jaw dropping.
On PS3 the most impressive titles are GoW3 and TLOU. TLOU notoriously makes the fan scream like hell and even kills the hardware!
On X360 The Gears games and MGS5 are all impressive. MGS5 for X360 because the game is running much better than on PS3. Because of this I always thought X360 was the slightly superior hardware when both were used really properly, here by Kojima team.
Never really played GTA5 on those consoles though.

I'm surprised it took so long for MGS5 to appear in the thread. It's probably the biggest game with physically based textures of the PS360 era, prior to it becoming ubiquitous in the PS4bone gen.
In terms of looks, it maybe looses out by the main environment being a little sparse. The character design, hardware and animation are typically Kojima teams' cut above the rest.
I'm sure there's other more technical stuff I've forgotten about that could be mentioned too.

Mirrors Edge.
Was pre-baked to hell but it was and still is a mighty fine looking game that looks better than its age implies.

That was my second place, after GTAV, which has the same characteristics you aplauded.
I guess I'm a sucker technical choices thar offer solid universal solutions that solve many problems at once and prioritize consistency over case-by-case hand-adjustments.
I think it was parly due to psychology or how mind works.
People's mind blends the cutscenes and the gameplay into one when they try to remember back.
Usually Japan games that exploit that. Amazing cutscene visuals, crappy gameplay visuals. Anime also exploit this trick very often (usually good looking animation are in less than 5 minutes total, but people remember the whole episode as good looking)
But people remember the game as looking amazing.

I have to mention Mirror's Edge, cool concept, meticulous environments with beautifully realised baked GI. It was really unique.

The art style was amazing. I had never seen anything like it. The neon colors and high contrast made it very visually distinct, the clash of white and every other color made it a real next gen experience. I don't know about advanced graphics or asset detail but it used it's visual style to extreme effect
MGS5 is a 2015 game. Physically based textures were already become ubiquitous with the launch of the PS4/XBOne generation, two years before.
I don't know if it is admirible that the engine is able to use it on PS3, but in absolute terms, they were hardly anything new.

The timeline was clearly very wonky in my head. I've always imagined it as close to PS4Bone releases. I'm going to pretend Ground Zeros was before release. Failing that, pretending that Fox engine demos were.
For sure?
Wasn't pre-baked GI also in Gears of War 3, Gears of War Judgement and in Uncharted 3?
Agree. I think graphics in that game was almost on same level with GoW 3.
Thwere really was physically based textures on Xbox 360 and PS3? If yes this still great because for 7th gen consoles that was great achievement.
Also one video for everyone.
