Art direction is subjective and I personally like Sekiro’s visual style over GoT.

As a huge fan of Sekiro who likes it much more than GOT....
GOT looks almost a generation better.

I like environments, character designs in Sekiro much more, I don’t care about which one has better graphical tech.

This thread is about that though.
Sekiro isn't known for it's visuals GOT is so not sure why you would make such a silly claim.
Sekiro is flat and uses drab colors.

Lol. No. RDR2 on one X eats this for breakfast. Much more impressive.

This thread is about game’s “art direction” and I like Sekiro’s art direction more, it’s that simple.

Well if we are talking about purely the tech behind the graphics then games like RDR2, Death Stranding and even TLOU2 beats GoT.No it's about last gens best looking game as said in the title.

Short answer? NO.
Long answer? WHile Tsushima can look pretty, it is boring and the world is empty plus it has agressive AA so the image quality i blurry as hell. Also many textures are also mediocre. Horizon Zero Dawn easily eats Tsushima alive (especially on OLED TV). Cyberpunk eats both of them.

I don't think it's clear as a argument could be made for all of them.

We are either talking about aesthetics and art direction which is subjective or are we talking about tech behind graphics which is objective.

or is it last gen? you know what i'm talking about, anyway let's take a look at this beauty, and i dare anyone to name a game more beautiful than GoT (fight me)
more:
it's even more beautiful in action:
Looks and graphics are always subjective, but in this case I think it’s just fact. Game looks absolutely SICK!

It's between Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us Part II and Red Dead Redemption 2 for me. I love the art direction of GoT the most. I think they are all very close.

It looks goood and the art style is choosen well. That being said most of the impact comes from dynamic elements. The game looks very mediocre and very barren on since screenshots because of that.
What it tells me it's that developers underestimate the impact of dynamic elements to the overall perception of the image. Witcher 3 doesn't technically look as good as AC Valhalla, but the moving fields and forests of Velen fell so much more atmospheric than anything static in Assassin's creed.
Same goes for games like Horizon and Ghost. These games have impressive tech, but what really makes them stand out is the dynamic grass, foliage, wind etc that you see in motion in almost every frame. The first watch dogs sometimes looks better in motion than it's sequels because of constant wind in Chicago. It turns static gamey environment into something much more believable and I hope more artists move to making such worlds.

Its a beautiful game and i could post dozens of others equal or better. Art is subjective and while those thinking pixel counts and realism is the benchmark, I drift to something that isnt easy to create, basically a new idea of world, characters and imagery. However, I have gone back to the zone and the detail is incredible. its ok, you can pick either zone, both are better than GoT.

What generation is Flight Simulator 2020?
Battlefield V on pure texture quality in many many areas.
Battlefront II
Battlefield V finding high quality texture easter eggs that maybe 1% of the community will ever see:
Agreed.
Its why I'm so hype for BFVI. DICE do wonders with their engines.

It's not that easy, really. Games may have impressive tech behind them, but still look and bahave shitty. I'm not talking about art, but rather about efficient coding, placement and usage of effects etc.

do not tempt fate do not contrain Wonder Woman's thighs do not do not
Whats even scarier is DICE wont have to worry about making the game run on lastgen consoles and with AMD and Nvidia both have DXR capable cards out they are likely to throw everything they have and actually use full Ray Traced Global Illumination as well.
Their lighting engine was already frikken amazing, add in even better GI and i full expect DICE to have some of the best looking games of the generation.
With their sound design added in....BF6 might be the first fuck me nextgen experience i get this gen.

His opinion dude. I find both games visually attractive as an art direction fan myself.

Good report, best graphics so far. When you have power like the PS4 and 5 the last thing you worry about is graphics.

GoT is easily worth more than $40 for me, I have spent tons of hours on it already. 4K@60 FPS on PS5 is just icing on the cake, it is one of the best open word formulas out there IMHO (even the regular open world tropes like a lot of the small side quests, free base, help group of people, stop bandits, etc... are actually well integrated in the game’s backstory so it all flows).

RDR2 is not even in the top 5 of best looking games. Artistically it is ugly.

GoT looks good in some areas and mediocre in others. RdR2, Tlou2 and even Final Fantasy XV (PC) look better. Won’t lie after upgrading my PC I have an entirely new appreciation for FFXV and RdR2. From a purely console game status I think HZD (yes the world and vegetation is pretty static) TloU2 or Death Stranding takes the title.

The best looking game this gen is TLoU 2, screw the haters.

I love this game, but best looking game of the generation? no way.. It might look really good in some screenshots, but in motions it's a lot less impressive.
The art direction is solid, the gameplay is really good (hey ubisoft, this is the the AC: japan we wanted), but a lot of times I was not impressed with the graphics, folliage having a seizure does not make it look real. (It's not the only game guilty of bad wind physics)
