thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
I think gamers acknowledge that the Last of Us 2 is in the grouping of Crysis, and the Order.

Everything looks like crap after playing TLOU2

TLOU2 can't keep up with Portal 1 and 2 when it comes to Portal-Technology. I'm sure you like this game very much and are quit invested in its success, but I am positive, once you become a part of the Aperture Science Testing Initiative, you'll never leave that place again. And hey, they even got cake. Does TLOU2 have Cake? Didn't think so...

Meanwhile, my most anticipated game right now is Deadly Premonition 2.
Just to add something worth to the thread, I had a similar situation when I played Max Payne 3. After it, has been difficult to enjoy another TPS since the gameplay, gunplay and IA was on another level. Sadly, until today nothing has still surpassed or matched it.

Character animation, interactions, facial expressions...this is something I felt it right away watching Marvel Avengers.
Cyberpunk is also below TLoU 2, but you have to remember it is a open world with a lot of shit to do.
Anyway, it is really an exception...I don't expect devs doing the same attention to details like ND does.

I don't see how anything can get close. TLOU2 is the gold standard as far as all aspects of a game's overall makeup is concerned. The only game that remains that may challenge TLOU2 is Tsushima and it's yet another game from PlayStation Studios....

Seriously not.
Fuck that. This takes nothing to little away from other already gorgeous looking games.
And while TLOU2 is definitely great, your claims are quite hyperbolic. TLOU2 has some real flaws, as awesome as the game is.
I still wonder what the replay value will be like since the game has a LOT of walking and talking like UC4 before it. Thankfully the gameplay ends up being much better, with a lot more agency and exploration overall.
I don't think I'm even halfway yet though. We'll see how I feel when I finish it.
Um I have a PC that can easily do 1440p and often 4k. What PC games blow TLOU2 out of the water?

Technically and visually, TLOUP2 is superb but gameplay is clunky and stiff while the story is a total clusterfuck but to each their own.

Seriously!? Why people need be hyperbolic about everything? from tech side TLOU part 2 might be better, but I personally like setting and visuals style in Ghost of Tsushima more.

Play Red Dead Redemption2 on XB1X. Still the best and technical looking current gen console game.
Play Doom Eternal, which is a 60fps game.
Play Gears 5. Tell me a game that looks better that is a 60fps game.
TLOU2 looks great, but is only at 1400p/30fps.It has cutbacks. It has great art
Still have Ghost of Tsushima, Halo Infinite, AC Valhalla, and Cyberpunk 2077

I think RDR2 looks better, environment feels more alive. TLOU2 at times felt somewhat plastic. Yeah, my vote goes to RDR2.

Cameraman simulator. No thanks
this is not surprising because graphics tend to peak at the end of the life cycle of every console.
for the Ps3, TLOU was released near its end too, when graphics standards also peaked.
having said that, graphics is important, but isn't the most important factor in a game.

The best faces I've seen this generation is RT cut scenes in DMC5 where the SSS in On and TLOU2 in general. Although stylized I think FF7R characters look freaking amazing. Aerith, Barret and Marlene just hits it out of the park. Detroit BH is also incredible.Seriously.in every aspect. Graphics. Animation. Emotion. Design. Cinnematics. Camera work. Nothing can't touch it. I'm a super graphics whore, so it probably matters more to me than others.
One thing that really stood out to me in TLOU2 is the density of the vegation, I LOVE IT, especially the insane draw distance of the grass. The only game that rivals it in my opinion is HZD but the grass didn't reach as far away.
The irony of the HZD Decima engine is it's incredible ability to efficiently render dense beautiful vegetation yet Death Stranding is the most baren game I've seen.

By this logic alone I find Red Dead Redemption 2 the most impressive looking game of this closing generation. At least until Cyberpunk releases.

rdr2 IS the most impressive game out there and it's not gonna be surpassed by cyberpunk most probably (pc version vs pc version of course)
there is something magic in that fucking game maybe the shrinking balls on your horse, who knows?!

On console? Maybe not. There's numerous optimisations in the effects that make them run better but not hold up quite so well, like grainy artifacting in the clouds, or the animal fur that looks rather funky. But on PC where those can settings can be stepped up, removing the obvious artifacts...it's the overall best looking (released) game I've ever fucking seen. Sure, maybe a game here or there could look better in this or that specific scene, but in terms of overall cohesiveness nothing even comes close...even if it does run poorly.

Lots of crunch and overtime work.
As good as these games look, i can't help but wonder if all those pointless animations, realistic gore and horse's shitting are worth the mental health of the devs

Its gonna be a tie between RDR2 , TlOU2 and Cyberpunk this gen. I don't see how anyone can meaningfully pick a winner from these three.
Edit: Death Stranding would have made it to this list purely from cutscene quality, but ingame it falls a tad short imo. Sorry miyajima.

crunch+8-9 years of develpment+around 3000 devs of total manforce+probably the biggest budget for a single videogame ever.
yep.
gta6 is gonna be mental to say the least.

Some people clearly haven't played RDR2 on the XB1X. TLOU2 is only 1440p/30fps.
Play Gears 5 and tell me a game that looks better at 60fps from ANY Sony 1st party game. Go ahead!
Play Doom Eternal (60fps and 1800-4k on XB1X)
And wait for Halo Infinite, Cyberpunk 2077, and AC Valhalla.
TLOU2 is the best look PS4 game, so it makes sense that some of you are omitting RDR2 on XB1X.

Motion capture, characters models, facial expressions etc in those games aren't nearly high end enough to reach the list. RTX in those games is so partial it only qualifies as bonus bells and whistles. This gen doesn't have a fully ray traced game.

Another stunning game on PC that just looks ok on consoles is Metro Exodus. It's easily one of the best looking games this generation.

i know that, but some people is gonna tell you that shadows, reflections and ligths are the most important things in a videogame...

I agree. The best looking games are ones that capitalize on the intersection of graphical fidelity and art direction, something TLOUII nails in both departments.
The game is visually stunning in moments, particularly scenes when it’s raining. The night time sequence when you first meet Yara and Lev and the cult island come to mind.

This actually brings to another point. 9 years to develop a game is pretty overkill, i wonder how sustainable that is in the long run.
I really wish people would just stop obsessing over graphics and pointless little details. With just that games can be cheaper and take less time and work to make. TLoU2 definitely didn't need all those animations for upgrading weapons

i can understand what you say, but as a final customer i will lie if i tell you that i didn't loved all the details that comes from crunch.
it helps the immersion immensely and in ultra realistic games like tlou2 or rdr2 is 50% of what sells the entire graphics compartment.
