THOSE GRAPHICS!!!

Regarding RDR2: I swear devs are never going to get grass right. It's 2018, and undergrowth still looks pretty bad.

Really liking the look of RDR2. It's very organic. Whereas God of War for example looks great, but also kind of...idk...plastic. Something about it just looks off to me.

Rockstar released one pic in particular with the white horse that just kind of blew my mind as to how good it looked.

That and contact shadows as well. I've also found it irksome to seeing shadows jagging the hell out on games with day/night cycles. You can have high res shadows, but it won't stop them from getting jaggy as they move with time. 

Also crushed blacks. I'm glad we're seeing actual HDR support, but I wish every dev nailed their colours right (the 3D ones I mean).

You spellt LoDLwrong!lol

Im not a fan of hyper realism, so for me god of war has all beat so far. I find it amazing how it mixes nicely the hyper real characters and the fantasy monsters. So far the character of kratos and his son look better than any other game characters of this year selection so far. While the fantasy aspect is more personal and can vary with taste.

Cell shading wise, maybe it looks quite close to the anime. But seeing the game in action breaks the effect. Since it runs its animations at 60fps.

DBFZ, on the otherhand, nails the looks as well as the animation. Making the game quite a step above NUNS4 as far as getting the anime look right.

At some point, the game almost looks like it's made of HD 2D sprites.

Knowing the enthusiasm of CGI, I'd say it's about technical merit and the end result fidelity of the visuals.

Realism is usually where things are pushed the most in that regard, over games that settle for a simpler art-style, however good looking it may be.

I disagree..... 

I think GoW has this strange but good look i can't really put my finger on. I know it sounds cliche, but its like a painting come to life. Like if leonardo were to make an animated movie, this is what it would look like.

To me RDR as good as it looks.... looks familiar to me. Can't explain it either. But it  movef me less than GoW did. Like this pic for instance from GoW.
