I'm gonna say Ryse, makes inFamous SS look like a PS3 game.

The skin textures in Ryse are amazing, the best I've seen on a console.  They did an incredible job with those.  However, I hate looking at the character models.  For me, it's not even like they checked into a hotel in the uncanny valley, it's like they freaking bought a condo there.

This is what I see:

Ryse gives me the creeps.

Ryse wins in my opinion too. The lighting effects and how realistically the models move and change just show how tech-savvy the guys at crytek really are. Especially the 1080p PC version, though both versions are breathtaking, 1st place and 2nd place respectively for each version.
If I was to pick a number 2? Killzone Shadow Fall. The detail at distance is incredible, and the art style is just hyper-realistic.

Driveclub with it's linear courses and....... oh, i dont know, it still dont look all that good to me despite the lack of content.

the guy who just said Ryse is going to dock another game for linearity now?

To those who picked Ryse, if your game basically runs like at movie like frame rates below 1080p it should not be called a show case, if anything it shows that the console it's on cannot handle really nice graphics, you may as well enter CGI cut scenes as "best graphics"...

 


LOL, not 1080p native so it can't compete! I think that is an even more compelling reason that it is the best looking console game thus far.  Destroys the ignorant view that a game looks like crap if it is not 1080p.

There are other graphical settings that matter much more.  Console upscaling is done really well btw.  Difficult to tell the two apart at times. 



Around the Network

Infamous is the most consistent impressive looking technical title.
Driveclub and KZ SF look amazing too. Driveclub might take it after the rain update. Maybe now already, the fully dynamic lighting and hundreds of light sources at night can be breathtaking to watch. Infamous SS didn't have any time progression while playing.

The models in Ryse look great, yet everything looks soft and kinda out of focus. Driveclub might be a bit low on the AA in places, Ryse over does it and makes the backgrounds look blurry. Those 4K PC screenshots look great though.



If people say Drive club is a linear games then Ryse is also a linear games so i comparing both for the technical achievement, but Ryse in Xbox one is 900p with fps drops to 20fps alot so yeah i choose Drive club.

for Open world games like Infamous and Watch dog, comparing both, Infamous by far no slouch by keeping frame rate lock 30fps with better shading and particle effect even the character model still left behind compared to Watch Dog, but overall Infamous runs better experience on the console.

Assassins Creed U actually better then Ryse and Infamous combined but......, stupid Ubisoft really hasty releasing the games, it had the potential but they are not optimizing it for the console so yeah, they deserved some small cookies.

Killzone, from technical point this games is slightly better then Ryse but the games character model is still behind Ryse, but comparing with Far Cry is also lack of games design, while the graphic Killzone is slightly better then Far Cry but the lack of freedom and open world is making Killzone behind Fry Cry.

So my choice is Fry Cry, even thou they using a modified engine from the last far Cry 3 they still keep the graphic run at Ultra on console and it's open world games while maintaining the good frame rates on console.

Yeah it's " Far Cry "



Infamous Second Son tops that list.

If we had all these games programmed for all the consoles and optimized to the best of their abilities. Then it would come down to what is happening now in this thread anyway... red team VS blue team VS green team

Looks like the poll vote tally taker got some intagrations. Yet the comments posted in total discredit the graphs tally.



I can only judge what I've played and Infamous is the only game thus far that really made me think was on truly new gen. That's the benchmark I expect of games in the coming years as graphical show pieces.

Never pay attention to VGC polls, it's incredibly easy to vote stuff them (which is exactly what happened to Ryse earlier, it bumped from 40 to 70 and then to 100 in a matter of minutes).

On a side note, what does 'intagrations' mean? :p
