Do you think Microsoft will have an exclusive game shown at E3 that looks as good as Ratchet/Horizon?

Not much else to it, do you think they will?

topic comes from a tweet I saw asking the same thing and some "insider" said no, cant find the tweet anymore.
 
Given whats rumoured I'd say probably Forza will, from an overall photo-realistic graphics fidelity standpoint, but can you really compare two stylised things to something that aims to be photo-real?

The better question would be will Fable or Everwild look "better" overall and I think the answer is no, based on what we saw of Everwild that appeared to be in-game/an honest target render and I just don't Fable will look stunning or they would've shown us some images/video by now like they did with the Ratchet and Horizon reveal.

Even though you could tell Ratchet wasn't 100% ready to be shown (the loading pop in when portalling) they still showed it because they felt the graphics alone would impress so much.

Probably not unless you count Flight Sim.

But I also don't care because whatever Arkane makes looks better to me than Ratchet from a stylistic POV (not a fidelity POV). I don't care much for bleeding edge realism or whatever. I like good art direction and unique styles, so I won't be bothered if it's "last gen" looking.

They probably won't show anything that looks similar. FS 2020 and Forza Horizon will be stunners, but in a photo-realistic way. I also don't think that any of the games coming soon are next gen only like Ratchet & Clank is, so I definitely wouldn't expect it.
 
the only way anyone would agree to a fair comparison is if MS has something simular. It would need to be a banjo game... something like that.

Flight Sim is next gen only as far as we know

Why is this being posted? You honestly think Jez knows what games Microsoft will show and what they look like?

It's funny that Windows Central should be waving around Microsoft Flight Simulator like a flag at the Sunday match considering that it's legitimately Microsoft's most impressive game by a massive shot and they're a Microsoft fanboy site. I went to check out their coverage out of pure curiosity, and I really wish I hadn't. 😂

Only if GEARS6 is there, GOW games always showed the best outta Xbox consoles, GOW1 2006 was the best looking game for quite sometime until Uncharted2 came out
 
With real gameplay footage?

They may have something like the horizon or keena trailer of last year( heavy use of cinematics but in-engine with snippets of gameplay). I voted no because i think that if they have a game ready enough to show gameplay this year they would have put it in last year E3. But i hope that they have one.
 
Yeah cause hes not on M$ payroll lolz
Well, today he's not and has absolutely no idea whats going on at MS apparently.

Maybe next week he will be the insider some look to for nuggets of info.

Do I think MS will have something that looks as good? With whats possibly not showing up...I dont think so? Forza maybe? Hard to tell.

I bloody well hope so!

And if it looks slightly less impressive and is 60fps they get the nod from me!

That would be great if true!

However, it doesn't really change my point. FS2020 is a stunner, and I also expect FH5 to look amazing, but they are both going for the realistic look. Unless Fable is shown I can't think of a game that will really be able to be compared to Ratchet & Clank. Anyone trying to argue between FS2020 and Ratchet for graphics is comparing apples and oranges
 
Why not? Graphics are only gonna get better. Then Naughty Dog will probably have the best looking + best Facial animations out there
 
Neither of those games are that incredible to be unattainable.
This.

All of these posts spooging over Horizon are going age really well in about two years when even an indie game running on Unreal 5 looks better. You're going to have near-photo real games on Unreal 5 this gen, and then Horizon will look like the PS4 game it really is.

FS2020 it is then, because thats probably gonna be the only stunning thing there.
 
Hellblade 2 will probably look as good.
Hopefully they show it.


Though rather than trying to compete with Sony in graphics I'd just like to see them showing more actual games we can expect soon. And less of all of these "here's some vague in engine trailer with a title reveal of a game you should expect no sooner than late 2023"

Forza and Flight Simulator look good but you can't really interact or explore any of it. It's just a background.

I have Flight Sim on PC since it came out and I never downloaded it. Even gameplay videos are boring.
 
Even if they did look better, would the Ponies admit it? Ratchet and Horizon look like top-notch PS4 Pro games from a technical standpoint. A playable Hellblade 2 looking like Hellblade 2 would slay the haters, though.

If the games did look better, we'd just see FUD about how it will be downgraded by release.

Honestly, no. Both Guerrilla and Insomniac are industry leading on graphics. And I think MS will focus on 60fps, maybe even 120fps, which by default will make everything look slightly less impressive in a trailer.
