If you think your screenshot looks like photo, post it here!
Same rules like in any other screenshot thread - 2 shots per post max.
I love photorealism in CG and games, so I will start with game I never expected to look that good:

Far Cry 5 (PC, Ultra settings):

 

[Psykodad]

Horizon Zero Dawn photomode

Edit:

Decima is my favorite engine by far.

 

[Clear]

At its best in gamepley Death Stranding looks astonishingly photorealistic. Obviously the volcanic Icelandic terrain looks almost alien to begin with, but still its a remarkable feat of tech and art-direction to make an open world environment look that good. Its almost criminal the game doesn't have a photo mode.

 

[Skyr]

The Hunter

So I see in shots from that game so would be great to see some here aswell.

Crap, almost thought that was Hellblade 2.

The Hunter

Love the look of this game. How is it to actually play, is it enjoyable?

 

[Geki-D]

Just because I'm sure no one would be expecting this game in this thread:

Dreams:

 

[Hobbygaming]

Uncharted 4

 

[Hobbygaming]

One more of Uncharted 4

 

[keraj37]

One more of Uncharted 4

Great shot! And when you take in account it is on the machine few times weaker then average PC... One of few games I wanted PS4 for.

 

[MrJTeera]

here’s a couple dose of Death Stranding

It's fun but keep in mind that it's a very slow game; you need a lot of patience to deal with all the gameplay mechanics. There's tons of sneaking around in bushes, listening to the environment around you. Never make too much noise or you'll spook the animals.

Like most games it's a lot more fun in co-op too.

 

[Mista]

I don't know if this counts but here you go:

 

[Alexios]

Shit looked like a movie to me when the demo first released. Metal Gear Solid, RetroArch, Beetle core, mattias CRT smudgeshader.

 

[Dlacy13g]

Just reposting for those with reading disorders....

 

[VFXVeteran]

Wait. Hyperrealism isn't the same as photorealism. Photoreal has desaturated colors. Not saturated like UC4 and HZD.

Thank you for that! It is imporatent to remember those games that made your jaw go down even if it was years ago and I must say MGS looks great even today!

I am lost here, but if you give me shot that we will struggle to name as hyperrealistick over photorealistic I will be content

Sure. Photoreal has colors that are more of the real world:

That's hyper-real. There is no actual drill that looks like that in the real world. It has a cartoony color to it.

No skin would ever look like that in the realworld on Aloy. And the blue color on her stomach wouldn't show like that if she was outside. Her belly isn't going to reflect the sky color like that.

Fair enough! Great explanation with images, but it looks like I was correct with my shot and some others didn't.

[Musky_Cheese]

Completely photorealistic. Thinking they should come out with... Juan SotO’s

Yes! That is correct.

I understand what you're saying but I still think my shots look photo realistic

I agree they fooled me at first. I didn't think they were posts, I thought they were furniture and bathroom ads between actual posts at first glance

I would've been fooled too had I not knew were they were from

Hunter Call of the Wild is probably my favorite game this year to just sit and chill with. I think I have like 300 hours

The realism in some games is utterly amazing. Just now as I glanced at the post above yours I thought that one was a car ad.

Maybe it's not just the realism that's amazing but the fact that I keep relating these amazing screen shots to ads.

Dreams, UC4 and the Decima Engine games looks bananas...…….Dreams has so much potential to reach lifelike visuals on the next iteration of that game, UC4 already looks photorealistic, but the dreams engine will be one we will speak about in a few years to come...……...I think it will be crucial to graphics advancement in the next few years....

[bitbydeath]

Got to include Days Gone.

The ground textures are also phenomenal.

 

[Hendrick's]

This one actually looked real until I zoomed in.

Yeah, to think that graphics are going to get even better in 1-2 years

Days Gone looks so good. Deacon's character model can look real too
