Last year the consensus was Battlefront. This year Battlefield 1 maybe?

As always I'd encourage you guys to post screenshots.

bomblord1 · Dec 7, 2016

Just to be sure. Pure Graphics or does art style play into this at all?

Massicot · Dec 7, 2016

My vote would be Rise of the Tomb Raider I think.

I would post some shots but at work.

Diancecht · Dec 7, 2016

I would say Doom, but Blood&Wine edges with art style:

It can be both.

Brandon F · Dec 7, 2016

So this is a DICE/Frostbite thread?

bbd23 · Dec 7, 2016

Rise of the Tomb Raider
DOOM

HvySky · Dec 7, 2016

Either Abzu or The Witness. Fucking gorgeous.

EpicBox · Dec 7, 2016

Titanfall 2 had some very nice vistas. I would post screenshots but I didn't actually buy the game.

Magwik · Dec 7, 2016

DOOM was coded with magic.

Aeonofgods · Dec 7, 2016

Gotta be Overwatch for me

edit: wooh you guys are welcoming here. Don't forget you were all a junior member at one point

grandwizard · Dec 7, 2016

Total Warhammer shouldn't be overlooked. Game looked crazy with insane scale.

KINGofCRA5H · Dec 7, 2016

BF1 gotta be up there. Watch Dogs 2 looks amazing at times. Also, Blood & Wine for general art style alone imo.

Jesus Christ

Mookie1515 · Dec 7, 2016

DOOM for raw graphical power, Blood and Wine for presentation of art.

LaunchpadMcQ · Dec 7, 2016

My vote is for Battlefield 1.

I love TF2, but the graphics are definitely not the best when you look at some specific textures and character models. Still, the TItans and vistas and a bunch of other things do look exceptional.

Uncharted 4 runs like shit on PC though. Lazy devs.

mxgt · Dec 7, 2016

Battlefield 1

Kenzodielocke · Dec 7, 2016

Battlefield 1.

Anno · Dec 7, 2016

Total Warhammer just for the sheer scale. Haven't played BF1 but that obviously looks very good too.

Cool pc bro

Stealth edit :3

AEdouard · Dec 7, 2016

On a technical level, I'd say Battlefield 1 (mention to DOOM). On a "I really like what I'm looking at right now", more overall look, my picks would be Inside and Dark Souls 3. Blood & Wine also looks fantastic of course, but it's a DLC.

Rogan · Dec 7, 2016

Just got a Dell Curved 34" widescreen.

Overwatch wins this for me.

| Praxis | · Dec 7, 2016

Battlefield 1 has impressed me the most both technically and visually.

Compsiox · Dec 7, 2016

AND THE WINNER IS....

BATTLEFIELD 1!!!!

Screenshots:

bomblord1 · Dec 7, 2016

My vote goes to Doom 2016 (Screenshot from Overclockers3D)

Back-In-Black · Dec 7, 2016

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

cheezcake · Dec 7, 2016

Battlefield 1 easily for pure face melt

Doom for best performance/visual quality ratio

The Flash · Dec 7, 2016

The DOOM, Witcher 3: Blood and Wine, and Battlefield 1 thread

Chinbo37 · Dec 7, 2016

I didnt play a lot of new games this year but DOOM looked incredible to me.

Caffeine · Dec 7, 2016

its still witcher 3

LelouchZero · Dec 7, 2016

Battlefield 1, damn I wish I took some screenshots.

NeoRaider · Dec 7, 2016

Rise of the Tomb Raider:

Quantum Break:

INSIDE:

ABZU:

There are few more i guess, but these are my faves from the ones i played this year.

brainzelda · Dec 7, 2016

Gears 4 looks fantastic, even on moderate rigs.

AEdouard · Dec 7, 2016

I don't agree with Deus ex. The environments look nice, but the models look very lifeless.

Tain · Dec 7, 2016

Probably The Lab.

I mean, rendering something twice at 90fps in order to convince a user's brain that an environment legitimately exists has to count for something, and that custom forward renderer Valve made with the dynamic resolution scaling is really good, so I want to call out the photogrammetry scenes in The Lab.

If we ignore VR, I would probably say Doom. Gears 4 has some stunning scenes, though.

MikeDown · Dec 7, 2016

Dusk Golem · Dec 7, 2016

People are saying "It's obviously-"

But this year was honestly a really close call. There were a lot of games in general (40% of all Steam games released this year and all that), but a lot of games came out that were either technically impressive, artistically impressive, or both as well.

sixteen-bit · Dec 7, 2016

Shadow Warrior 2 got that HDR, right?

Cozmogramma · Dec 7, 2016

Battlefield 1.

I couldn't get my Uncharted 4 disc to work in my PC... Please enlighten me on how you managed it, it's been driving me nuts

Another vote for ABZU

Reckheim · Dec 7, 2016

Battlefield 1, it kind of ruined other games for me. FF15 used to look amazing to me but after BF1 on PC it just looked like FF12.

Is this the reason Juniors get the rep that they do around here?

haveheart · Dec 7, 2016

Graphics from a technical view:

BF1
DOOM

Art Stlye:

Dishonored 2
Deus Ex: MD
The Witness

Phediuk · Dec 7, 2016

Battlefield 1.

No serious competition, really.

SmoothRunningGun · Dec 7, 2016

For me it's Rise of the Tomb Raider. The lighting and texture work are amazing. I had to stop many times just to take in the environment.

Zackat · Dec 7, 2016

Some of the zones and areas in Obduction looked really good. One of the few games this year I just ran around taking screenshots in.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
