For me it's RE4Remake. It just feels right, it's not super realistic but feels fucking amazing. Many of you will probably say RDR2 which I'm also playing but the RE Engine feels better for me
You?

 

[noob smokes]

Visually red dead 2 or gost of sushima

 

[Zacfoldor]

Far Cry 1.

I'll never forget the first time I loaded up those tropical locales. Like pure visual crack.

 

[HRK69]

The Ori games are up there for sure

 

[The Cockatrice]

Cyberpunk 2077.

 

[intbal]

El Shaddai has some nice visuals.

 

[protonion]

At it's best, Ghost of Yotei.

 

[AJUMP23]

Red Dead Redemption 2 is still top for me.

 

[KyoZz]

Red Dead II it is.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Final Fantasy IX for the past

And Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for the modern time.

Neither are my favorite game of all times but they are easily the most beautiful looking.

 

[keefged4]

RDR 2.

 

[Ainem Enamas]

The Ori games are up there for sure

Finished Blind Forest agree

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Crimson Desert is up there in terms of a beautiful environment. Skyrim, Morrowind.

 

[Von Hugh]

Chrono Trigger

 

[T4keD0wN]

Avatar Frontiers of Pandora - the whole IP is dedicated to looking as pretty as possible

For as amazing as Cyberpunk and RDR2 look, they never feel like theyre going for beauty at all

 

[drotahorror]

For 2.5D, the Trine series is way up there.

 

[Polaris]

Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Alien: Isolation.

HITMAN: World of Asssassination.

Subnautica.

 

[Moondoggy]

Artistically, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron

 

[AZRoboto]

The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion

2006, on an Xbox 360, seeing that world so green and vibrant and huge, with its extended draw distance that completely dwarfed Morrowind before it.

I can't think of another game that gave me that feeling of awe and amazement. I was immediately captivated and it would go on to be my first 100+ hour single player game.

 

[Fbh]

Chrono Cross.

But you have to play it on a CRT at OG resolution. Otherwise the backgrounds look too low res (or have upscaling artifacting/smearing).

 

[Exede]

Games that flashed me hard when they got released where on consoles
-Megaman 3
-Super Metroid
-Metal Gear Solid
-Turok 2
-Metal Gear Solid 3
-Rogue Leader
-Heavenly Sword
-Elder Scrolls Oblivion
-Killzone PS4
-Demons Souls PS5

On PC way to many, the last big one was RE Requiem

 

[Aesius]

Far Cry 1.

I'll never forget the first time I loaded up those tropical locales. Like pure visual crack.

I built my first PC for this game. AMD Athlon 64 3200+ and a Radeon 9800 Pro.

 

[Hyet]

Okami is timeless

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I

 

[Robb]

 

[GrayChild]

Dead or Alive 5:

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Beautiful?

Dragon's Crown (Pro)

 

[naguanatak]

Red Dead Redemption II
If I had a beast of a PC I probably would mention Crimson Desert as well, seeing some of the screenshots on here with everything to the max.
But RDRII is even up there on the Steam Deck for me, it's crazy how good this game looks and feels to me.

The Ori games are up there, too.

 

[Gubaldo]

only time i thought game looked "beautiful" were
During NFS's non-open world days.
they had some exotic locations

 

[TintoConCasera]

Baten Kaitos has to be up there somewhere:

There's Dragon's Crown as well: (beaten by S0ULZB0URNE while I was looking for screenshots lmao)

 

[MastAndo]

Potentially some recency bias here, but Crimson Desert. It's what I spent all that time hoping to get modded Skyrim to look like.

 

[Black_Mamba]

 

[Signalis]

Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy X

 

[SlimySnake]

Flower was something else. In terms of beautiful, i liked it much more than the brownish desert areas in Journey.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Path traced Cyberpunk by a mile

 

[EverydayBeast]

Wind waker

Yakuza 5, recognizes good city beauty.

Rise of the tomb raider

Killzone 2

Perfect Dark remake 360

TOTK, color palette.

GT7 is another one.

Enslaved odyssey to the west

 

[TommyCronin6969]

Anybody who picks games that rely on realism for graphics are boring cunts

 

[Kusarigama]

When I read the title of this thread, the first game that came to my mind was... Bloodborne.




I was mesmerized by its beauty.

 

[MrJangles]

Resident Evil HD Remake.

Close the thread.

 

[L*][*N*K]

 

[Alebrije]

Actually : Crimson Desert landscapes

NES ERA : Blaster Master

ATARI 2600 ERA : HERO

 

[TintoConCasera]

There's also a lot of beauty in older games. Rough around the edges ofc but I think all those look quite nice:

Perfect Dark remake 360

That's from the N64 original game, which imo looks prettier than the remake.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

 

[BennyBlanco]

You could make a good case for this game. Also fuck these guys for dropping this 9 years ago then disappearing off the face of the earth.

 

[Thanati]

This should do it

 

[ValiantInstance]

Metal Gear Solid 3 Delta for me. First game in a while I played where it genuinely felt next level.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

I'll never not be fascinated by late-stage pixel art mastery like SNK fighter backgrounds or Symphony of the Night. Something like The Last Blade or Mark Of The Wolves is just gorgeous to me.

Also think Streets Of Rage 2 is fucking amazing art direction wise.

Returnal also has a special place for me for pulling so much from Beksinski and Giger. Derelict Citadel, biome 3, particularly is stunning to me.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Since some have already been said, I add Silksong and Astrobot to the list.

 

[Danjin44]

More recently….

MHStories 3

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

And very soon this one will beat them all.
