No they didn't. They said it looks the best in that mode, which of course it does, but that for playability performance mode is recommended.

I never said R&C doesn't look good. Art direction is a key component in a game looking good.
If we are going to talk technical milestones, I tend to gravitate towards implementations that are heavy and definitely looking for a push forward. That's just like Nanite. People praise forward progress.

The way I judge a game's graphics may not be how other people praise graphics - and that should be OK. Most people here like hyperreal, art directed cinematic feel. I tend to judge based on tech.

Because the OP never gave strict criteria on what constitutes a "graphics king". Taking the question in the context of pushing technology is perfectly valid, as is taking the question as "what looks the best."
Had the question been "What game has the best looking visuals?" then sure it's specific.

Okay. What did you think of the RT and lighting in Control and CP2077?

I've never played it, but I have to admit that game is a looker.Guardians looks absolutely unreal on PS5. I played in the native 4k and the ray tracing mode. This screenshot is from the ray tracing mode.
If anything the screenshots dont do it justice because like Deus Ex Mankind, every scene in the game is full of so much detail it is an eyegasm. The game has no reason looking this good.

It looks like the guy's (not Arthur) fur coat on the PC 1.29 has more fur ; not that it's necessarily better as it hides the snow on his coat more.
I agree with what you're saying about the AO though, it's clear they messed that up.
I would grab a disc copy on ps4 but the pro's poor 4k mode puts me off. Xbox one x 1.0 is definitely the best version visually.

While R&C looks great lets not get ahead of ourselves here with any platform talk.
Could probably list a lot of games running on my 5950x 3090 PC ultra settings that look better

CP2077 lighting failed because it didn't use RT AO properly for all objects such as clothes. Therefore the lighting was flat when objects were in shadow - a clear "last gen" feature.
Control had good lighting but the game's lack of detailed textures failed to give a good presentation.
I'd argue RDR2 on the One X (not the Series X) looks better than ratchet, but that's just me.

Should see that game cranked up on a beefy PC.
I too would throw my hat in on FS2020 near the top of the list

Cyberpunk looks pretty awesome, but I kinda felt that it never looked... real? Something with the color palette maybe, I can't really put my finger on it.

I'm actually playing right now in Performance RT. Less than 4k in that mode and it looks better than some animated films. Great gameplay, acting and visuals that constantly delight.
To be honest that's the only to judge a game based on graphics, otherwise is just our opinion and that's it.It's highly subjective and quickly turns into a patetic show of some of the usual suspects, using laughing emojis on every answer that isn't R&C. For me is RDR2 on PC, it's an impressive game graphically on several levels.

Probably. I beat the latest version on XSX in January and was surprised at how buggy that experience was.

RDR2 is an amazing looking game and one that should belong up in the list even now.

All these photos from cutscenes or photo mode
Start moving around and the game looks half as good lmfao
TLOU 2 even though I never played it
1. It looks good in photo mode
2. It looks good in combat
Id pick it over R&C and Demon Souls remake

The texture work is really good. The extra year paid off there... can't say the same about content so far...

Had I known you were well known around here for these sort of pretentious takes, I wouldn't have bothered with you in the other thread. My bad!
Flight Simulator looks great, but most of the next gen only games have fundamental elements that make them impossible to run on PS4/Xbox One.

You're not supposed to play this on dial-up internet. You should also find an online tutorial on how to adjust the jpeg quality while your dialed up.

What did you sniff before typing this?Because of these reasons:
"Only real "Lower than Low" are reflections but it's perfectly clear why looking at how absolutely awful they look maxed out on PC.
On Consoles SSR only purpose was to enrich the perfectly placed cubemaps (tons of them, everywere). Their use it's extremely limited, and tastefully added as you never really notice them. In short reflections on Consoles are working as they should, they never draw attention to them, and never appear/disapper all of a sudden because all they do is add (soft) detail to the cubemaps, or give some life to window's glass.
On PC higher reflections settings are a fucking mess. They look super blocky and ugly and glitchy because they were never meant to be seen that way, and simply destroy any kind of immersion whenever they are on screen.
On Consoles v.1.00 uses Ultra Textures, Ultra Geometry, Ultra Draw-Distances, better Ambient Occlusion than any setting on PC, additional light sources, better facial hair and so on.
I'm really not sure what the hell is up with the AO in v.100, but it's by far the best AO i've ever seen that's not RT.
Every version after that just implements a regular kind of SSAO, totally missing the kind of pre-rendered look AO have in version 1.00, and this includes the PC settings.
It's a whole different beast, no way around it, and while there aren't many comparisons using v.1.00 out there unfortunately, an example can be seen on Arthur's face here for example.
And resolution aside the most notable differences between Pro and Base are these ones:
Pro:
Base:
Of course PC version is still recommended for 60fps (altough not perfect, as some animations are still 30fps), water physics, long shadows, foliage resolution, far object's texture resolution.. but if there was a way to play 1.00 on Series X at 60fps, it would be without a doubt the best version of the game."
And these are base PS4 settings, post downgrade.
Watch this:
I agree, I'm running on a laptop, powerful one though. 5900hx and 3700. Looks amazing on my g9 @ 5120×1440.

I was playing on my fiber internet, though it was wifi, so I don't know if the Xbox has wireless connection issues. I've played several other games streaming on Gamepass without issue.
The jpeg is smaller because the NeoGAF image tool didn't like my imgur link so I did a fast scale down, which has worked in the past. Here's a higher res version of what people here call the "graphics king":

Digital Foundry never featured RDR2 1.00 in that video.
And careful on relying on them too much:
Reality
RDR2 never looked as good on console as on pc. There are too many upgrades on pc: night sky lighting is completely absent on consoles, grass draw distance and shadows, water physics, no clouds flicker, reflections etc too many to mention.

There is nothing inaccurate about my sentence in the least. Every Sony bro just hates that I say it without coming up with a claim that's actually grounded in fact. If you think R&C has the tech chops then prove it - and not with cinematic/photomode screenshots. From where I'm sitting, there's nothing tech-savy about the game that makes it look as pretty as it looks.

Launch was a shit show with loads of people not even being able to boot into the game + tons and tons of crashes.
Hell even on neogaf we head threads about this and even benchers from HU and i think even DF ( or df waited for a more stable patch ) had endless crashes. The game was a disaster in its 1.0 state. If you had no issue's you where one of the lucky ones i guess then.

You also offer no proof so your statement is not accurate, but opinion based as you claimed earlier. Prove that Insomniac didn't use any new tech. By the way you immediately lash out, it really makes you sound like a troll or warrior instead of a reasonable voice of knowledge I think you are trying to present.
There's nothing that needs proving with R+C, it's a great looking game and even if it doesn't push whatever boundary you use to decide what is graphics king, it's reasonable to understand why people would select it. The same is true of most of the games people have mentioned thus far.

Whatever.
Launch was not version 1.00.
Only way to play that version on D1 was to install physically with no internet connection.
I repeat, thousands of hours, not a single crash, ever.
Not even after Save Wizard modding.
If you really want to throw shade at that version, say how nobody would want to play it at 30fps after trying it on a great PC, or how loud it made the old gen consoles sound..
