Now that E3 is over, what were some of the best graphical games shown this year? From technical to art style etc.

For a small indie title, I was really impressed by The Last Night.

 

[Shadowhaxor]

Destiny 2 on PC, Forza 7 was looking sharp as well.

 

[The Flash]

Anthem looked pretty good.

Sea of Thieves' water is also next level.

 

[Anth0ny]

dragon ball fighterz looked pretty nice

 

[Self_Destructive]

Metro: Exodus

 

[RSchmitz]

God of War.

 

[gamerMan]

Spider-Man and God Of War

THE CREW 2: Griffin's Hands-On Impressions & GAMEPLAY! — Polygon @ E3 2017

I was very surprised with The Crew 2. Signed up for the Beta immediately after.

Also, Wolfenstein II looks orgasmic with it's usage of ID Tech 6.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Spider-Man
God of War
Anthem
Dragon Ball FighterZ
Uncharted: Lost Legacy
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Metro: Exodus
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom

 

[ActWan]

God of War was crazy good in both artstyle and technical departments...and was running on a vanilla PS4 which is even more impressive!

 

[DecoReturns]

I thought Anthem looked pretty nice.

For art-style, Yoshi looked very pretty

Edit: Oops, forgot DBZF as well

 

[bananafactory]

Anthem
Metro
God of War
Spider-Man

 

[fermcr]

[Zophar]

Spider-Man demo was all in real-time but I'm still in disbelief. Looked incredible.

 

[Puruzi]

The Last Night and Dragon Ball Fighter Z

Spiderman too.

 

[Kagero]

From a technical side. Spider-Man, GOW, and Anthem were jaw dropping. From an art and style point of view the OP made the right choice

 

[Trickster]

Anthem, Metro, God of War, Dragon Ball Fighter Z

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Anthem
God of War
The Last Night
Artful Escape
Cuphead
Metro

 

[Dictator93]

Anthem, Metro Exodus, Spider-Man were pretty eclipsing.

 

[JusDoIt]

For a small indie title, I was really impressed by The Last Night.

Such an attractive game. Sucks that it's gamergate propaganda.

 

[TheAdmiester]

Forza 7 and The Crew 2.

 

[Spirited]

Mario x Rabbids: Kingdom battle somehow impressed me even though it was a switch game. Maybe no the best graphical showcase but it's damn impressive.

 

[Ryukori]

I think Forza 7 looked really good. Anthem was pretty too.

 

[yuraya]

Assuming Anthem's demo wasn't doctored in any way it has to be the winner. Just the draw distance with everything shown and the dense landscapes along with all the animals/creatures running around. It looked like something out of Avatar. I think it was by far the only legit next gen showing at E3. Metro also looked amazing but it wasn't anything groundbreaking imo.

 

[Corine]

Anthem blew every other game away. Metro also looked amazing. Can't say anything else made my jaw drop.

 

[Liliana Eileen]

Anthem
Metro Exodus
Spiderman
Forza 7
The Last Night

Like someone else said the water in Sea of Thieves is insane, and Cuphead has a fantastic artstyle.

 

[Blobbers]

Anthem was the one that blew me away the most. I hope they can get it to look like that on PC.

 

[Van Bur3n]

Such an attractive game. Sucks that it's gamergate propaganda.

How do you mean?

 

[Harmen]

God of War looked the best to me, seems like a perfect marriage between tech and art.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

Anthem and God of War looked the best to me.

 

[Puruzi]

How do you mean?

The developer is a gamergater and the game has gamergate related things in the story

 

[floatingcoffins]

The Last Night and Forza.

Forza was really impressive.

 

[T.O.P]

Lots of good looking gamee this year

The Last Night - DBFighterZ - Forza 7 - Anthem - and that crytek game where you hunt a big spider at night (lol)

 

[Canucked]

Spider-Man was beautiful.
I really thought Anthem was stunning.

The Last Night is a real shame. I was interested until I read more.

 

[meerak]

I was most taken by GoW and Spider-Man I think..

Some of the aerial shots we saw in the new Assassin's Creed looked good as well.

On the other side of style I was blown away by DBFZ, Odyssey and Mario + Rabids.

And yeah, cuphead still is awesome. But no surprise there.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

God of War, Spider-Man, Cuphead.

Games are looking astonishing these days. Games like GoW must cost a ton of money.

 

[lucebuce12]

 

[Heroman]

How do you mean?

Look up the announcement thread.

 

[hydruxo]

Anthem looked really, really good graphically.

 

[Jangowuzhere]

Anthem was definitely the stand out game

That looked like something you would see on an actual next generation console.

 

[purseowner]

Super Mario Odyssey
Assassin's Creed Origins
Metro: Exodus
Cuphead
Star Wars Battlefront II
Spider-Man
Ni No Kuni II
Wolfenstein II
Yoshi
Kirby
Anthem

Spoiler

but that'll get downgraded

 

[Tyaren]

- Anthem
- Metro Exodus
- God of War
- UC The Lost Legacy
- Spider-Man

 

[NathanDiego]

technical God of War easy
art style Dragon Ball FighterZ

 

[SillyEskimo]

The Last Night, while not the "best graphics" in the strictest definition, did grab my attention for doing something so unique. Kind of like how Cuphead looks amazing, but it is simply a fresh take on something we've all seen and played before. But The Last Night gave me the same "wow" factor as Cuphead did when I first saw it.

 

[Inf3cted_b3ast]

God of War, Days Gone, Spiderman, DBFighterZ, Anthem(Wait and see approach), Wolfenstein The new Colossus all looked great to me.

 

[peppers]

While I watched the Anthem gameplay reveal I kept asking myself if this was a videogame. Although after a couple of days of cooldown I still think the game looked mind-blowing, I have to say part of the initial reaction was due to some heavily scripted sequences that really carried the presentation (like the animal stampede).

Other than that, Spiderman and the rest of the Playstation games looked really nice too.

 

[Dictator93]

I also think a nice runner up status could go to Kingdom Come Deliverence... now only if the mouthing and lip sync were actually finished :/

Fantastic environments, asset materials, and global illumination though.

 

[KillLaCam]

Anthem ,Dragon Ball fighter z, Metro Exodus.


God of War was good too but we already saw that last year. But that sea serpent actually made me uncomfortable.

 

[Rhoc]

Anthem and Metro exodus but I take it with grain of salt because I ask myself how much we get in the final version.

 

[LAM09]
