To be perfectly honest, I'm kind of baffled by the fact that some people in this thread think that Demons Souls is the best looking next-gen game so far. Personally, I'm more impressed by Kena, Scorn, The Medium, Bright Memory Infinite, Flight Sim 2020 (coming to Xbox Series in 2021 most likely), Ratchet and Clank, Forza Motorsport reboot, Gran Turismo 7, Hellblade 2, and Horizon Forbidden West. Maybe on a purely technical level Demons Souls looks better than a few of the above, but certainly not all of them, and when you factor art design into the overall visual presentation, I personally don't think it looks as good as ay of the above, and possibly a few others as well. 

FS 2020 doesn't fit the bill anymore, it's getting worse after each patch.

LOD is messed up, AA is messed up, sharpening filter is messed up. Since the last patch the text on the flight instruments is less readable, more blurry, while near terrain looks over sharpened / grainy. Cloud rendering has been hit as well, not looking as good anymore. And then you have areas like this

That's a problem with Bing map data, but there plenty of those outside the US

I love the game but by the time it's 'optimized' enough to fit on consoles there might be little left at the rate its going :/

This is my most recent shot, at 200 renderscale (4K rendered and down sampled)



This is from a couple patches ago, I want this back

I don't know what they're doing, but it still crashes nearly every day, performance degrades over time and fluctuates a lot, it needs about 20 GB of RAM to function, and while rendering at 4K internally to take a screenshot, it runs at about 8 fps, about 18 fps with 1440p ish internally (lower is no use, bound by cpu from there). I don't have the best gaming laptop but it had no issues with FH4 on ultra 1080p60, so I'm not having very high expectations for consoles where it has to run at a stable fps.

Anyway got sidetracked, patch ptsd lol. (patch day is finding new workarounds day ugh) I agree with Demons Souls, bad screenshots maybe. I have also not played Demon's Souls thus no rose tinted glasses. Scorn does look a bit like an Unreal tech demo like Forsaken back in '98
