Muramasa if it had a 4K port. Pretty bummed to read rcently that there's things preventing the team bringing it to modern consoles.

 

[Kvally]

Forza Horizon 5 and Flight Simulator

 

[Buggy Loop]

Batman: Arkham Knight still looks really impressive for a game that's almost eight years old
Hell, it looks better than a lot of AAA games getting released today

Especially that now we have the graphical power to run these nvidia smoke effects on PC that used to be a slideshow. I played the game last year and i was blown away by it. Very good looking.

The last time I was truly amazed is with Ghost of Tsushima's openning when you ride the horse on a filed of grass, seeing trees and grass swaying with the wind.I know it is probably not the best technical visuals but it was amazing.

 

[Deerock71]

Pokemon: Arceus is rather gorgeous, isn't it?

 

[It's all in the wrist]

Definitely the Last of Us 2 for me. Everything looks great, but the animation is a few tiers above anything else.

There are so many gorgeous games these days that Im constantly amazed. My eyes are also getting worse though. :/

 

[Beastclaw Raider]

You talking about PC, right?

Yep, for sure

For consoles I'd go with demon's souls probably

This is a hard one, and many of us are sure to be subjective. But as someone else said it here there are many categories to determine this. Artistic, realistic, technical, etc.
As a PC guy, I'm not subjective, I think the Playstation exclusives are the ones that are all round the best ones, I mean, for one they are the most polished ones for sure. I don't like the PS games in terms of gameplay, so I hope I'm not stepping on someones toes here, but as far as visuals, for me they are at the top.

At the time, I thought Metal Gear 4 for the PS3 was like no other system could handle that

Same reason R* usually downgrades their single player games.. their damn Multiplayer modes.
It's the most infuriating shit ever, especially when downgrades get later ported on more powerful machines.

@SkyHighTrees Add draw distance and AO to the list, massive difference for both.

AO difference is absolutely awful for characters especially:

Spoiler

But in general game had a unique pre-rendered quality thanks to it which is not there anymore.

And what's worse to me is draw distance, as you said LOD management was jaw dropping in 1.00 with practically non-existent pop-in, when any version after display tons of missing trees/shadows all over the place.

Spoiler

I mean look behind the characters, it's insane:

Another person awarre of version 1.00! There aren't many of us out there. I own a 4090 PC and still only play v1.00 because of how many things were removed.

Heavier volumetric effects, more frequent weather systems, better sunrise and sunset lighting, better ambient occlusion, much more abundant wildlife, you can use shirtless Arthur as well as use his closed winter coat from the prologue throughout the whole game.

Preach brother, preach.

All Gameplay (no Photo Mode in 1.00) PS4 Pro/PS5 1.00:

One day it'll be possible to emulate this, removed of its checkerboard.. or even better the One X version.

But maybe we'll get lucky, and RDR 2 finally receives a tasteful native current gen port restoring all of its original immaculate visual glory.

 

[Romulus]

Alyx and RDR2

 

[tommib]

Returnal.

Deal with it.

I have been considering getting a series X just for 1.00 haha. Since it runs in native 4K on there.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart.

It’s bright vibrant colors and cartoon like design also helps in making it age well.

 

[Cakeboxer]

Cyberpunk, RDR2, Flight Sim. Non peasant versions of course.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Demon Souls, non peasant version of course
