Shadow of the Colossus and its not even close. The foliage, lighting, resolution and framerate are all superior and on top of it SOTC has incredible HDR that really pops out.

People saying Zelda is more graphically more impressive because of artstyle are deliberately spinning it into a Nintendo wins thing, when graphics are objectively better in SOTC. You can prefer either artstyle but that's not graphics, those are called visuals and graphics is a more technical term.

Actually, I'd argue there is a debate to be had here. The only reason the SOTC remake looks so good is because the better lighting and better texture work for colossi and the main character make it look better .. but if you look at a lot of textures they are clearly still bad. Okay, I should clarify, there are a lot of textures besides the colossi and MC that do look significantly better, but the point still stands. And - I've only seen this in one video but I'm still going to mention it - there's this famously bad loading that happens at this row of arch's in the game where the arch's load in as you ride past them, and even in the remake I saw a video where the arch's where still loading in. So over three different iterations they didn't fix that issue .... 

I'd still probably say SOTC

Are you kidding? Obviously SotC wins it has everything better. Just take a look at the  Zelda colossus.....is just gross



solo se hablar español

SotC

Unless you count the PC version of BotW.

BoTW without question.

How so? 

Why does my opinion matter to ask such a question?.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

BOTW is more creative.

Now let's make a thread about which one is the better game :)

Arent you a master race pc entusiast ? You more than anyone else here knows what great graphics are, that why he ask you probably.

I am a PC enthusiast yes, but in my opinion I like and prefer Zelda, and that's really all there is to it. Just like there are people in here that like and prefer SotC.

SotC. No contest.

It's blatantly obvious which one is graphically more impressive, why even compare these two? It's like asking if Mario Odyssey is graphically superior to Sonic Mania. All four of these games have appealing graphics and style may make people pick different favourites but clearly some are more technically impressive than others.

Something more comparable like SotC vs HZD or BotW vs XBC2 would actually require deeper analysis of the tech but this thread title seems like an excuse to put down games on much weaker hardware.



Both are two different art styles. But I prefer Zelda's overall art style over SOTC as SOTC is more of the ''run of the mill'' type of art style graphically and isn't really anything TOO impressive considering what it does compared to the overall market its in. Both pull off what they're going for well and in the end that's all that matters to me
