Sarcasm?

Not at all, to think good graphics are directly proportional with the amount of demanding tech on them, that's the joke for me.

Are better graphics than this

Despite the 2nd one using more resources and having more advanced graphics.

Maybe Graphics isn't the best word to use, art direction, which of course Art Direction will always be more important over graphics. Unless the graphics add too the gameplay somehow.

Here a little quote I want for those to keep memorize in your head for this coming next gen.

Man, bullshots have gotten bad. I just watched a vid of Sniper 3 from Candyland, it DOES NOT look as good as those pics.

You probably watched a console version of the game. The screens above are all PC. 

Nope.  PC in 4K and 1080p.

That rain definitely saw a downgrade, too.  I can safely say, that game can be taken out of the running.

Sniper Elite 4 doesn't look the greatest, but that's actually a positive, since you know the real game will actually look like that.

Assuming Rockstar doesn't downgrade from the reveal trailer, I feel like RDR2 will be the graphics king for 2017, though Horizon is pretty darn gorgeous as well, and I suspect SW Battlefront 2 will also be a real looker.

Speaking of graphics, anyone else disappointed by Mass Effect? I think it might actually look worse than Bioware's last game, Dragon Age: Inquisition, which released more than 2 years earlier. Not only does it seem to lose out to DA: I, the graphics seem to be behind DICE's Frostbite engine games (BF1, SW Battlefront) which target a more demanding 60 fps as opposed to Mass Effect's 30 fps target, which makes the defeat really sting.

Speaking as someone who loved ME:A, and thinks the reviews were mostly bullshit, I agree it doesn't look as impressive as DA:I.

Also, don't think you can include BOTW. Sure, it has an appealing art style, but what's with the screenshots that are obviously not from a Switch? Not a single jaggie? Don't think so. Shadows are also a much higher quality than what is actually found in the game.  Same can be said of the colors, too.  Much less vibrant in the actual game.

Don't know what to tell you. On my PC, there is no downgrade and many people who have it haven't experienced any either. As far as Zelda is concerned, it very much has a right to be here.

Don't know what to tell you, either.  The proof is right in the video.

You don't have to tell me anything, since I actually own the game. The proof is on my screen, and it looks the way it does in the screenshots above.

Well, I guess I should stop watching Candyland, since they must be lying to me.  Or maybe it's just my eyes lying. 

I'll just end this convo here.

Mass Effect Andromeda doesn't actually look bad, but it's gonna be a while before anything puts Horizon down in 2017.

Ew, why isn't the grass reacting to her?

Great thread CGI. Hellblade looks good. Is the game any good itself?

Man Chloe looks so ... nice in the upcoming Uncharted! What a cool character, glad they're bringing her back from 2.

I honestly can't tell what looks better: Battlefront 2, Horizon Zero Dawn, or Hellblade. I'm tempted to say that Hellblade looks better than Horizon, but it seems like such a smaller game compared to Horizon so Horizon might still be more impressive. And then there's Battlefront 2 ... wow. I know it's a bit unfair because it can be ran on PC compared to Horizon, but it's a very very tough battle between those three.

Based on this thread I would say besides those 3, Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 looks the best. Maybe that's a misguided statement since it probably doesn't have the budget of Uncharted, but it just looks great. Maybe that's just proof of the level of parity we're getting to. I don't know, Uncharted just doesn't look nearly as impressive this time around. Sniper Elite 4 on the other hand looks standard, looks more or less like Wolfeinstein: The New Order. Zelda is very pretty, but I think it's trumped by most of these D :
