I was looking at some footage of Max Payne 3 on PC and despite being a last gen game, somehow, i was impressed with what i was watching. I actually did play the game on a 360 when it was released and thought it was the best looking game ever but today i was thinking that after all these years (and the next-gen consoles being released) it might not look that great to me. But i was wrong.
Its the same thing with the original GTA5. I still believe this game (not even the remaster) looks better than Watch Dogs on a PS4.
It seems to me that the reason of this is the way the world/backgrounds are designed. Sure, Watch Dogs have better graphics with more "modern" effects and such but why is that the city doesn't look that good? Is it because Rockstar designs better textures? (kinda like Valve?) Maybe its the geometry detail? I feel like GTA 5 still has a bigger geometry detail at any given scene than Watch Dogs. Is it the lighting? GTA4 had awful lighting but Max Payne 3 and GTA 5 look very natural. Is it because the towns look busier? Still, that doesn't effect Max Payne though.
I think its the combination of high geometry detail and the way Rockstar designs buildings and structures. Even areas that look boring in other games (offices, garages, tunnels, narrow alleys) look great in GTA5 or Max Payne 3.
Thoughts?
