Infamous, The Division, and Battlefield 4. I give The Division a slight edge over Infamous though. Other than a couple issues, Infamous has better graphics, but The Division looks as good as it does with far more detail in the environment than Infamous has.  Battlefield 4 is after both.

In Infamous it seems that the entire environment is destructible. Take notice of the end where he uses his Ionic ability and the everything around gets destroyed. Stuff like the dinosaur falling down into a pile of bones on the ground. The problem is, the damage doesn't seem very realistic. However, Sucker Punch has said that all the damage you create remains that way. Who knows if it's fixed up after reloading your save data, or if everything remains that way even after loading your save.

In The Division, at 1:58 you see the person walk into an open car door and instead of having no animation and the door just closing, the car door closed a little, but after the character nudged it. During the fire fight, the controlled character takes cover on the front end of the car and the back door is open, when he moves towards the back of the car, the animation shows the character closing the door with one hand while he continues moving towards the back. Vehicle damage models that look better than what we've seen in GTA4 which has been the best for the longest time.

Battlefield 4 in my opinion is the next best looking and when it comes to destructible environments, it wins hands down, but the textures look worse than they other two, especially in the multiplayer video which is where people are going to spend 99.9% of their time in Battlefield. The destructible environments didn't look as good in Battlefield 4 as what we saw in The Division with the attention to detail and everything, though it did look more realistic than what it looked like in Infamous.

We've only seen one area in Infamous Second Son and we've really only seen the damage that's capable to vehicles. In The Division we could have only been seeing what they wanted us to see and gave us that visual representation that the entire environment would react in the same destructible manner. We'll have to play the full versions to find out.  These three are the best looking though and The Division is the better of the three.
