Many people still think say rdr 2 is the best looking game ever then last of us 2, and cyber punk so please stop trying to push this narrative that stylistic game wins for better graphics. Resident evil 5, Uncharted 3, and gears 3 still look really nice today with 4k. |
Red Dead Redemption 2 is...
1) A last generation game.
2) A DirectX 11 feature set title.
3) No Ray Tracing.
4) 6 years old.
It's been eclipsed by titles like:
1) Hogwarts Legacy.
2) Cyberpunk 2077.
3) Alan Wake 2.
4) Jedi Survivor.
5) Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora (THIS specifically is spectacular visually.)
6) Assassins Creed: Valhalla.
7) Death Stranding.
8) Returnal.
9) Spider-Man.
10) Ghost of Tsushima.
11) Ratchet and Clank.
12) Halo: Infinite.
13) Horizon: Forbidden West.
14) Dead Space.
15) God of War Ragnarok.
Cyberpunk is pushing better graphics than RDR2. That's just a fact, for all the issues that game had, graphics was not one of them... Or more specifically... Was so far ahead that hardware struggled to keep up. (Playstation 4/Pro and Xbox One/One X.)
I think I prove my point... And that's before I mentioned games like Kena, StarCitizen, Final Fantasy 7, The Last of Us and more... Or even more marginal titles like Battlefield which were early titles with Ray Tracing.
If you disagree and think a 6 year old game is better than all these... Then you are simply just... Well. Wrong... And the fact you are bringing the same old boring, never-ending argument into the 3rd or 4th thread and repeating the same things? Shows you haven't learned, grown or progressed in your reasoning.

This is my personal cap, if games get more real looking than this, I'm going to have a problem with it. Infact, this might be a bit too real as is and is in need of more "art" for lack of a better term. But I can see myself accepting this, anymore photo real and I'll find it depressing and bland. I think this is achievable in the next few years. |
I would argue it's achievable now... Hellblade has some seriously impressive modelling going on... And that wasn't designed with the PC as the lead platform either... Imagine a Geforce RTX 4090 with 24GB VRAM doing 30fps at 1440P and the crazy level of realism that would bring.

Basically then every game is stylized. Like last of us is realistic graphics but going for apocalyptic world that you would never see in the real world. Same for gears, heck same rdr 2 since you would never see the wild west these days anywhere. Point is these games are all aiming for realistic graphics. |
No one actually cares if it's stylized or not. Stylized graphics can still be demanding and impressive graphics.
Borderlands is one such example of a AAA high-stylized title that pushed visuals.

Superman: Atari 2600. - First video game I ever played. Had it as a kid.

HOLY SHIT! First time I ever saw someone other than me say Superman on Atari 2600 is the first game they ever played! I didn't own it or an Atari 2600. It was pre school late 80s the owners teenage Son had a NES and Atari hooked up in a room and some kids would be invited in to play.
