Forums - Sony - TLOU - the best looking console game (SPOILERS)

Tagged games:

It looked good on my SD TV but it looks incredible here. Certainly one of the best looking games out there, I'd say Far Cry 3 and Max Payne 3 are up there with it. GTA V could beat it but is doubtful as it's open world. The same with Watch_Dogs. Both look great.



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

Just never got round to getting my own HDTV (i would want a bigger TV, my current TV that i use for gaming is only 17'') and it wouldn't fit anyway because of my bed. It's one of them ones with a desk underneath it.

Understandable.  I'm almost a little jealous.  It will be like you're jumping 2 console generations when you go to PS4 + HDTV.

I remember this game looking good on my 65" Mitsu, but I remember thinking in some spots of the game that this gen was starting to show some age.

That being said, the shots you are sharing look sharper than what I remember. Are these high resolutions shots, or is it just because they are smaller on my laptop screen? I thought this game was native x720

Nevermind, the shots provided are 720.  So it must be the size.  Imagine stretching the image to a 65" and you'll know what I mean.  Looking forward to more games being 1080 on the ps4



The Last Of Us is in my opinion the most beautiful game on this generation.



It's one of the best looking consoles games but it's equaled by Killzone 3 and beaten by Uncharted 3
The Last of Us has very nice lighting, shadows, animation, effects & character models but has noticeable pop-in, mostly muddy textures, some dodgy looking foliage & distracting aliasing. Also once you have a few enemies on screen coming after you the framerate gets a little sluggish and I see a clear difference in the frequent rendered cut-scenes with improved anti-aliasing, textures & lighting.

The game is so great and presented so well that it's easy to think back after beating it that everything about it looked great but there's definitely less visual polish than Uncharted 3 had so even though it's better looking it's overall not as consistent and therefore I believe it doesn't deserve the title as the best looking console game, one of the best yeah, no doubt it's a beautiful game.

Uncharted 2 was more consistant than Uncharted 3 in my opinion but I can't debunk the fact that Uncharted 3 was more impressive at the end of the day. It is for the same exact reason I feel TLOU to be more impressive than UC3. It is also vastly more open which is bizarre in some ways. They are truly pushing the PS3 and the game flows well enough for me to look past those quirks especially when the visual fidelity is as high as it is.
