BoTW has maybe the best graphics I have ever seen.

But if we talk only about the technology side, then Horizon looks like the most impressive so far, I'm not expert though.

Sarcasm?

Not at all, to think good graphics are directly proportional with the amount of demanding tech on them, that's the joke for me.

Are better graphics than this

Despite the 2nd one using more resources and having more advanced graphics.

I have a question for the experts, my ineducated eyes says Uncharted 4 looks technically more impressive than all those here exposed, is this true though? Or maybe I'm fooling myself a bit with the artstyle of Naughty Dog's game?

I agree with this example, but not BOTW. I could understand if you meant is has your favorite art style, but there a plenty of games that far more impressive. 



The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild's artstyle is just so beautiful, every frame looks like a painting! Definitely the best looking game of 2017 in my opinion!

Eventually, we'll get a Top 10 (closer to the Summer) and whoever doesn't make the cut is booted out.

The ones that are surely going to stick around are Horizon, Resident Evil, and Zelda.

Based on your decision, or votes?

And since they are games, not persons, it should be whichever, not whoever. =P

ZELDA

 

I think HZD atleast beats BoTW when it comes to character models.  (Above vs below)

 

I also think the enviroments are more impressive in HZD.

However I will admit that I like the "astetics" of BoTW alot.

Its kinda like how a well kept garden is easier on the eyes, than a wild forrest is.

However in terms of visuals the wild forrest is much more impressive.



Zelda and Horizon are both really stunning. I'm not a Zelda fan at all actually, but when they first showed it off I was pretty interested just because the art style for so beautiful. Horizon is a bit more striking overall though I'd say, because technical aspects aside, the creature design is just so intricate, and creative.

Year is certainly starting with some nice visual treats



For actual graphics, HZD is clearly better. Not a contest. At the same time, both are beautiful. I think they manage to appeal to everyone in different ways. Both are definitely going to be in a top 25 list for best eighth gen games.


On the other hand, I wonder which one has better physics. Curious on that.
