Is Horizon: Zero Dawn the best looking open world game ever?

The playstation pro version? Yes, absolutely.
No lol, there hasn't been a single downgraded first/second party exclusive game on PS4.
I think they have said multiple times it is a "true open world" game though.

It remains to be seen just how open it will really be.

GTA V and Witcher 3 on PC still leave Horizon in the dust IMO. I'll have to see more, but from what I've seen right now, there is no competition current or upcoming for those two games.

I've seen nothing to suggest it matches Witcher 3 on PC.
Dislike its colour palette too.

It looks better than uncharted in 4k pro mode
Ehhh you really have to want this to be a downgrade in order to think of it that way. It's the best looking game that exists.
EDIT: Even better than the above screenshots IMO. You have to consider it in motion.
True open world means that you can go everywhere from the start without any kind of limitation like Skyrim, Fallout or XenoX but from some interviews they have done it sounded like Xenoblade Chronicles, Final Fantasy XII, etc... deal in which you have big open areas connected by big open hallways that unlock with story progress.

this and on console.
this game won't have draw distance/ iq you can get on pc on third party open world. horizon on consle will beat them on this mostly because all focus on the platform (outside of all other subjective art appreciation)

I highly disagree. And to even go as far as saying they leave it in the dust? Come on, man. I have both games on PC, and this is just nonsense.
Hopefully as linear as possible.

OP invited it with his title.

I think (hope) it's not the resolution count that matters, it's the overall graphics and Horizon just looks stunning even if you compare it against some open world games running on really expensive PC's.

Not in a world where witcher 3 PC exists.

I would have no issue describing DA:I as "true open world."
In Infamous you had to have loading screens when you went into the sewers, and I didn't feel like that was any less open world than anything else.
You dislike Horizon's colour palette but talks about The Witcher 3 in your post?
I think these two games has a very similar colour palette...

Should wait until it's actually released. Based on what I've seen however, it has one of the best looking aesthetics for an open world game at least.
There's more to something looking good than just graphics.

It has potential to be, but how many times is GAF going to fall for pre-release graphics hype? We've been misled so many times that I don't understand why people still seem to trust that the final product will match what is shown.

Wants to outlaw technological innovation.
It probably will be simply because Guerilla Games are great at technical achievements. It's a weird statement to make though because of course tech that was released later than others is going to look better.

You mean you prefer the art direction, surely.

I certainly think so.

Yup, it also had a great deal of variety thanks to the different zones. One thing I love about the W3 is how alive the world feels, it will be interesting to see if future open world games can reach that level.
Horizon reminds me of Shadow of Mordor for some reason.

No I mean it looks better. Period.
Fair enough if you prefer Zelda's art style, but Horizon is objectively a far more impressive technical feat.

Member
So, you're saying it's more impressive on a technical level?
Baroquemantic

Horizon looks objectively better than Zelda. You probably just prefer the art style. Technically it's not even close.
Well, you can think that but you're still wrong. Horizon, The Witcher 3, Arkham Knight, and some others all look objectively better.
Also presentation, looks very clean and pretty to look at.

Meh, it looks OK. Zelda looks more imersive and impressive overall to me. As an open world game in general, it's doing greater things the Horizon.
I mean there's nothing wrong with discussing games pre-launch
But I think the title is jumping the gun just a little bit.
I mean I wouldn't be surprised at all if the game gets downgraded.
There is an argument about the aesthetic or which game is going to make better use of their open world but let's be honest: Horizon looks >>>> Zelda from a technical perspective.
Oh, seems you are at the deep end.
Never mind then.

In your opinion, I guess.
Yup, sounds familiar.
