Pretty Games

yeah i agree that is probably one of the best looking console games it really shows how good you can make games run and look if you optimise it for one platform

Alan Wake on PC with Free Camera Mode can be awesome. The following are screenshots I took and did enhance them with Lightzone:

Seriously, there should have been two threads... One for graphically realistically beautiful like The Last Of Us or The Vanishing Of Ethan Carter or stylistically beautiful, like Okami or Sebastian... Sorry... The Bastion.

A few other beautiful games:

Remember Me:

Life is Strange - I like the instangrammy (I don't even know what that means) filter in this game:

And even though it doesn't have the best graphics, Dreamfall has a certain appeal just as well:

That looks awesome. I want it now

what game is this?

Exactly what I was thinking!

Posted edited w/ title.

That is so pretty I went looking for it and the game is only for PlayStation and Wii.
What are you... a console peasant?

It reminds me of 'Street Figher V' where one can change the Art style in the video options. The game had Photoshop filters like Brush stroke, Pen and ink, Watercolor, etc. It was pretty neat stuff in a solid fighting game.

PC games wish they looked this good... Naughty dog doesn't fuck around when it comes to optimizing

Agreed, shit even their polygon hair puts TressFX and Hairworks to shame in terms of looking natural and organic. Their attention to detail is second to none. I think what really sets them apart from others they pay just as much attention to the details as much as the game engine to drive their visual, where as others would let the technology drive the visuals.

Have you ever heard of emulators? Now it's for PC as well officially, because Sony are selling PlayStation Now on PC - streaming service for PlayStation games.
But I still stand behind my words. Okami is one of the most gorgeous visually and stylistically games ever made.

Two pretty titles
Two of my favorite games

They managed to make the last of us look the way it looks on the PS3... We are now having similarly looking games on the PS4 and the horse power difference between the two consoles is night and day...
Anyways...
I still think Skyrim looks just fine, even Vanilla. I think Dark Souls 1 looks fine. But let's keep the things uncontroversial for the time being - Journey. Surprised nobody mentioned it (or I have missed it)...


I still think games, attempting realism will sooner or later be surpassed and forgotten. Stylistically beautiful games, however look fine and will look fine in 20 years... Just look at Zelda Windwaker. It didn't even need an HD remake, but whatever. The original still looks fine.
