Best graphics of E3 2016

@zaryia: Ahhh drawing lines through the quotes. What's up Jankarop long time no see.

If you watch the video analysis "Uncharted 4 sets a new standard for realtime rendering in games". DF rarely compares different games across platforms but the fact is UC4 is the king. Until you post them saying a PC game sets any standards the gold is the PS4s.

@AM-Gamer

This is straight from DF's official UC4 analysis, it's as direct and straightforward as one can get. I don't even have to debate you, DF does the work for me:

"Uncharted 4 delivers a genuine step advance in real-time rendering on console hardware. The Naughty Dog engine is an efficient, capable engine that produces results that tower above many other current generation titles. There is a clear dedication to excellence here and it has paid off and Uncharted 4 is the best-looking console game we've ever tested."

This is too easy. How can anyone possibly spin this?

@zaryia: Watch the video. There is no spinning. "Sets a new standard for replying rendering in video games."

He mentions "on consoles" right after that little sentence, and again several times in the video as well. It's a concrete fact at this point. There is a reason why they keep hammering that point home, constantly. They did the same thing with UC3, to make sure they didn't make fools of themselves - as everyone knew that wasn't gfx king either. Have to mention that "console".

It's also on the final verdict quote on their official and more indepth article. A total of 6 times "console" is mentioned. It's extremely direct and straightfoward, no one can really question it. You're really going tin-foil hat on me. I've got DF on my side, and I'll continue to use that rather direct and telling quote. Looking at UC4 real-gameplay shots, it isn't a stretch to see why they came to that conclusion. It looks great, but like DF realized, we've seen better overall.

Better luck with the Neo.

I still haven't heard from the cows what specifically makes these playstation games better than the best of PC?

The God of War gameplay trailer was impressive but looking away from the main character in motion ( a really blurry one at that) the game wasn't that impressive. There was small pop-in in the environment even very close to the main character, the ambient occlusion wasn't PC accurate (seen in the rock faces) and foliage was poorly shaded in general (side of ice pond no shadows on twiggy bushes accurate to their geometry), falling quite a bit behind the recent Cryengine games in the shading department. This doesn't seem new to PS4 - DF noted that compared to the rest of the render, shadows in UC4 were on the weaker side as well even pixelated. The console clearly lacks the grunt to push through a large shadow map at high resolution. Battlefield 1 certainly wasn't anywhere near as detailed as the God of War gameplay but it was much more thorough and accurate in what it did. Texture resolution can't be compared through compressed footage but as usual I expect PC to pull far ahead in this as well as image quality, performance, lighting, and scale. Something to note in BF1 was when the behemoth was burning to the ground the flames reflected in the metallic surfaces of the 1st person gun model with ridiculous clarity even through the compressed video. If this carries over to windows and water with the active rain BF1's screen space reflections and PBR will be far out of anything the PS4 can do.

Leaving the PS4 with face models and detail, more important in their comparatively linear games. I don't think any amount of bullshotting is going to change obvious video observations.

@gpuking: The models you posted for BF4 are virtually the same, just different lighting scenes and image quality. Really, everybody else can see it except for you for some reason.

@zaryia: Yet when is the last time they've specifically said a PC game was king? Crysis 3?

They haven't mentioned any PC games in the past two years setting any standard because none have done so. They haven't raved about a game like UC4 in years. Sorry but your multiplats aren't cutting it and you have no exclusive to save the day. Wtf are you going to do when NeO arrives? Make another alt Jankarop?

@AM-Gamer : It's humbling of you to put all of your hopes and dreams on Neo....but I think it's going to just be a repeat of PS1,2,3,4 and fail to beat out PC's graphics (as per DF analysis, they don't even think the best looking console game to date, UC4, beats out PC.). It's understandable though, PC has better hardware and multiplats are the most expensive and detailed AAA productions. BF1 will most likely take the reigns as gfx king (PC version ofcourse) later on.

Besides, Scorpion will have some pretty games designed on it - all of which also will be on PC and probably look even better. I'm thinking Playstation's perpetual silver might become bronze soon. But hey, maybe your predictions come true and Neo offers Sony's first real graphics king. But things are looking unlikely.

@zaryia: Yet you have no statement to back up your claim. Link me to where a PC game has featured the praise of UC4. Until you do it's the current king. Now go make another alt.

@AM-Gamer said:

Graphics king in your opinion. Digital Foundry even doesn't think UC4 tops out PC. Sadly, when looking at real-gameplay shots of UC4, I must concur with their statements.

It isn't a mystery why they decided this,

Why are people bringing up games that was not at this years E3?

This thread is best E3 2016 graphics...

I'm a huge fan of the art style in Breath of the Wild... but lmao let's face it those aren't exactly good graphics, much less in relative terms.

I'd say Horizon: Zero Dawn was insanely beautiful.

Halo 6 on Scorpio, nuff said. :P

I thought Horizon looked amazing along with Mafia 3. Hard for me to choose between the both of them. God of War and even Gears looked great also.

@zaryia: Yet they never made that statement.
