  1. I remember being 13, playing Sonic Adventure 2 Battle on GameCube and thinking that graphics surely had to have peaked with the cutscenes 😂

    1. That’s me and Sonic Unleashed

      Honestly that game still looks extremely good if you don’t pay attention to the textures and resolution.

  2. Unrecord is still one of the most impressive things I’ve seen. The ragdoll physics are starting to look good.

    1. It’s the most realistic graphics so far.
      Hopefully stays that way or better when it releases (and proper optimization).

    2. its always the small game studios that come out of nowhere and are unbelievable also its not called unrecord anymore

    3. Ill bet money that the gameplay will suck and all the effort and budget went into realistic graphics.

      Gameplay>graphics imo.

  3. Saw something recently where someone was submitting screenshots from RDR2 to their local weather station as the “nature photo of the week” and the station kept showing them on air as just absolutely beautiful landscape photos.

  4. A few missing on this list (maybe in the next video?), in no particular order:
    • Horizon Forbidden West
    • God of War: Ragnarök
    • Uncharted 4 & The Lost Legacy
    • The Last of Us Part 1 & 2
    • Atomic Heart
    • Control
    • Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales
    • Driveclub (those rain physics)
    • Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture
    • Forza Horizon 4 & 5

    List some of yours that I definitely have overlooked.

    1. Order 1886
      Gears 5
      AC Unity still holds up very well
      Alien Isolation
      Quantum Break (OneX Enhanced or good PC version)
      Until Dawn/The Quarry…. Although I still think Until Dawn is the only good Dark Pictures game.
      Ryse Son of Rome… Although blurry is still visually impressive.
      Everybody’s gone to the Rapture.
      God of War Ascension. That would have ran great on PS4 despite it’s story being a little over done.
      Killzone 2… Not only is it the best game in the series it’s visually the most appealing.
      Scorn
      Arkham Knight
      Observer Redux

  5. I’m incredibly pleased with how Dead Island 2 came out. Fun gameplay improving on the first Game and phenomenally detailed map areas

    1. This puts a flame in my heart. I’m yet to buy the game bc I want my new PC to be complete to play this game on it, so it’s good to know I’m heading towards a good time.

    2. Only thing I can’t forget is that they don’t have reflections in this awesome looking game, e.g. when you’re in hotel rooms and you look into a mirror, it’s just a wall.

  6. Honestly Far Cry 5 at 4K on Ultra settings is a gorgeous looking game especially in the woods as sunrise happens seeing god rays pop through the trees is amazing.

    1. @@lonelysniper844 Right on its a great game and my favorite in the series. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

    2. Yeah that happens to me,it looks realistic and beautiful so i took a picture of it using my mobile phone and post it on instagram,my coworker saw the post and she really thought i was hunting in the woods😂

  7. The Callisto Protocol was the first game I played after not gaming for a LONG time (since Halo 1). I was absolutely blown away by how far the graphics tech has come.

    1. That’s awesome. You should try out virtual reality if you think that’s cool. It will blow your mind

    2. You’ve got a lot of catching up to do! Calisto, as far as games go, is considered pretty mediocre (if not straight up bad at times).

    3. I would’ve liked the game more if they incentivized the melee combat. I know a lot of people didn’t care for it but I really felt as far as horror games go, that was their strong suit.

  8. I’m 47 and when I was younger I used to say I cannot wait for games to look like the cut scenes and now they do or way better I know it doesn’t matter if it’s a pretty game as long as you have great gameplay, but being someone who grew up on an Atari, I will say, man I love graphical improvements!

    1. you where thinking that because games back than where great, all they needed is graphics. now graphics is there but gameplay sucks…mostly.

    2. I’m not far off you. Didn’t have cut scenes till you were past drinking age. And cut scenes looked bad then. Maybe you’ve been waiting since early 30s?

    3. I’m 41 and want to play on realistic looking games. Is that the same feeling for others too?

  10. I think #1 brings up a key point. No matter how realistic the graphics are the gimbally nature of video game movements will always make it look off. Once the horizontal access starts to move like a real camera or human, instead of being perfectly unnaturally level the entire time, the immersion becomes that much more believable.

    1. I agree 100%, the sad part is I can’t play games that have a bouncier camera. My motion sickness kicks in within 3-5 minutes and I get violently ill if I push through it to keep playing. I love seeing how the tech is coming, but I can’t full enjoy it.

    1. nah, man, just you. dont get me wrong they do look amazing, espacially the 2nd one, but theyre not top 10 most realistic games, that is really far fetched. they do have a great story, tho.

  11. I love the RDR2 special mention. Aside from having pretty decent graphics, the environmental immersion is absolutely fantastic.

  12. Red Dead Redemption 2 was the game for me.
    The graphics are insanely good, the way the lightning and fog works.
    The sounds of the environment.
    The incredible scenery..
    It is just amazing to stroll around.

    1. without doubt. No game among these 10 even comes close to that. with the insane attetion to details. water, sand, events everything have real life effects.

    2. That Game ruined gaming for me. No matter what I play, nothing comes half as close to it and leaves me disappointed. They didn’t make a game they created standards in that one.

    3. ​​@@gojo817same but then I played Ghost Of Tsushima which wasn’t as immersive or innovative but the artstyle, music, atmosphere, story and gameplay made it unforgettable. To me those two game stand on a league of their own

    4. One of the few games I’ve played you just stop and look around in awe. I’m on another playthrough and I’m just taking my time. It’s so immersive.

  13. So glad to see Dead Island 2 mentioned. Could have almost fooled me into believing it’s a UE5 game. Also the character animations and gore system are superb.

  14. I remember in one of the Deus Ex games on console, I was walking through a hallway with a window. On the other side of the window was a pool with it’s surface above the the window, so light was shining through the water, through the window and created a mesmerizing pattern on the walls. That was among the best things I’ve seen so far! I remember that when I started gaming, water was the most difficult thing to animate. That has transferred to faces and facial expressions these days.

  15. DCS definitely should have been mentioned as well. For the rest: great list! Really enjoyed the video. MSFS and the UE5 Demos are truly amazing 🔥
