The most impressive part about Half Life: Alyx is that they got that graphical quality IN VR. In VR you have to render two separate images at all times, so it is very demanding by itself, so usually VR games look worse than others

I played through Fallout 4 VR some years ago, and it looked really bad, but still amazing and gave another dimension, and of course (was) few AAA game to VR. But HL Alyx was amazing and also worked and looked really well with the old Vive.

Great stuff! One thing about TLOUII that really blows me away but that isn't talked about as much is the dynamic facial animation system. I'm someone who really enjoys photo modes, and the realism of the expressions on the character's faces in basically every frame you pause on is staggering. Their eyes are dynamically drawn to certain features of the environment, and their faces betray emotion as well as exertion. Just an awesome effort that means photo ops are effectively endless.

In the same vein as Doom 64, I'd call out the excellent work done on Command & Conquer Remastered. From using some smart upscaling of the FMV, to redoing all the unit and structure assets, it really pulls off the job of preserving the game's visual fidelity while making it compatible with modern high resolution monitors. I was thrilled to see they even preserved the immersive installation sequence from the original C&C. Can't praise the team at Petroglyph enough for their amazing work.

[@weaverquest]

Even in the limited footage in this video Ghost looked stunning.

[@MisterReen]

For me too. There are games out there that might be a bit more detailed in some aspects, but the overall look and atmosphere of ghost of Tsushima is for me personally one of the most beautiful games I’ve ever played. Starting with the hard contrasts, the leaf system, the sense for nature in all the different environments, up to this overall very respectful and high class look... it’s just stunning.

[@acurisur]

@Dork Andrson This article was never about how broken Cyberpunk is, it's all about the eye candy. And Cyberpunk stomps everything else in the visuals department. It might be "easy" to make a neon city look good, but to then add on the amazing raytracing that game has elevates it into a whole different league. My GOTY was Ghost of Tsushima, no question. But Cyberpunk takes the prize for best visuals, absolutely no question.

While I didn't enjoy LOU part 2's story, I admit the graphics were the best - even despite the lack of ray tracing.

[@lynxlagoon]

fantastic video, very objective and well made

[@FLY1NGSQU1RR3L76]

Perfect review compilation. From the perspective of someone who works in games, the depth of their analysis is second to none.

[@BOSSSHAWN]

Flight Simulator and Cyberpunk 2077 are literally the most impressive jaw dropping games I’ve ever seen created. Those two games are in a league of their own. If you can with a straight face say there is any game with better graphics than Flight Simulator or Cyberpunk 2077 you literally need to be slapped and not allowed to ever discuss gaming ever again in life.

[@Venched]

just check out this comment section, people are saying CP77 has cartoon graphics, some are saying mediocre graphics. Maybe on consoles but on pc, this is the best looking game ever, period.

[@Bluesimon_123]

For me Cyberpunk 2077 done a great work but got bug...to create a detailed huge city, from poster to billboard, from small house to a skyscrapper...really a tremendous art of work

[@SwallowPonyJuice]

I totally agree. Those character animation on your character in Cyberpunk2077 are so much more realistic, than the character animations on your rise eating samurai in Ghost of Tshusima. I really love your unbiased analysis. Great job, you’re great !!!

[@Kickinthescience]

You think Cyberpunk has more realistic character animation than Last of Us 2?

[@SwallowPonyJuice]

@@Kickinthescience No. The character animations is just a little bit less stiffer... But not with a lot...

36:18 if you look closely, you can see the car(s) not being fully loaded for a second (even on beefy pc)

[@gabrielandy9272]

no matter what they tell you, people will say (get a better computer ssd hd or whateveR) the game code and programming could preload and cache that car way before that cutscene starts (would use more ram tho) its all fault of the game code for not loadnig it fast enough or the game code may try to load it at the last possible time.

Game: *enables Raytracing* DF: "I will give you all my love!"

[@jeremyron8793]

If you agree that video game graphic will eventually look as good as CGI movies someday, then raytracing is your answer. Any best CGI you've seen has been rendered with raytracing. Rasterizing is something you do to try to fake it when you don't have enough hardware power. If game graphic is to progress further into the level of CGI, rasterizing will have to go to the dumpster of history at some point. And it seems that some point is now. The earliest "rtx" games don't look impressive because the graphic is still rasterizing at the core, raytracing is only used in a few minor effects.

[@Ayoul]

Almost not even a joke when Miles Morales is higher than TLoU2.

[@jamvng]

because it's the future of computer graphics.

[@sadstormtrooper]

I mean raytracing is the holy grail that every photorealistic game strived for and is impressive so why not. It deserves all the love

[@ark_knight]

if the game is good, it doesnt really matter the fps and resolution. I have played all the retro pc games in minumum requirement hardware (games like max payne, half life, etc.) and and I have played current games on decent hardware and I can tell you, the games I do remember are the games that I played back in the days. The games that nailed the atmosphere and the charm. Fps and resolution are just bonus which dont really matter in the end.

Pc version is only maxed out (smoothly) if you have anything above a 2080 super. Its not cheap but if you build PC hardware and just upgrade over time; its much cheaper in the long run.
