Best looking from a technical point of view, or art style ?

Art Style I really like Bloodbourne, technically I'd agree about Witcher 3.

@vespuche: I have not tried that. I have heard it is pretty good. Do i have to play the previous one to understand it?

@mohwarfighters2: I am sure you will enjoy it without playing the first one. But they are both good games so you really should play the first. :)

So far? Far Cry Primal on my pc.

I cranked everything up to ultra, and literally stared at the scenery for like 5 minutes with my mouth hanging open. All the little details in the scenery, bits of fluff and leaves in the air, all the god rays and shadows.. I've played a lot of games, but so far this one has been the first in a long time to really make me go "Holy shiiiitttt"

With a close runner up being Star Citizen. Even on the lower settings, someone had to sell thier soul to get those textures to look so freaking realistic and touchable. If only the game itself didn't run like deep fried ass.

Witcher 3 is pretty special... so is Ori & the Blind Forest, from an art style perspective.

i'll nominate one for the ps4. my gaming pc is 3 years old and i haven't really found a good reason to upgrade it yet. recent one that comes to mind is assassin's creed syndicate. i really can't stand ubisoft but i saw it for £12.99 and realised i like a bargain more than i dislike ubisoft so picked it up. the game itself is the usual blend of an occasional nice idea buried deep beneath mountains of filler, so no surprises there but the graphics stood out as being impressive. some very detailed architecture, great lighting, atmospheric locations and a respectable framerate. not sure if it's the best on the ps4 (i don't count the order 1886 as it's so linear and such a god awful game) but it's up there

@mohwarfighters2: Witcher 3 for definite. I'd say I've seen tech demos and certain other games that probably have "better" or more advanced graphics but Witcher 3 got it SPOT ON with the graphics it utilised. The vistas and sun sets were just breath taking. I can still go to Skellige and just look out over the landscape for hours at a time.

Hell even White Orchard is a stunningly beautiful place.

Can't wait for Blood and Wine to release.

I played the Ratchet & Clank PS4 demo at GameStop and even though the monitor on those kiosks are kinda iffy it was still stunningly beautiful. I can't wait to see how great it looks on my TV when I buy the game next month.

This may be an odd choice, but I played Journey on the PS3 a few weeks ago and was floored.

Every single frame of this game is like a painting, and in motion the game's majesty is undeniable. Of course, since the game is very short and linear, they have the ability to control every scene to the last detail. But damn, this game still holds its own despite being a console generation behind.

Tough choice.

I think technically/objectively, Battlefront might be the best looking game out there. What can be done with that game engine is simply mind boggling. 4K with mods? Forget about it, the game is damn near photorealistic. Sadly it is the only good thing that PoS game has going for it...

Subjectively, from an art style perspective coupled with technical prowess, I'm going to have to say The Witcher 3. Not only is it technically beautiful, but the art direction is pretty great too; monsters look and move like they're actually monsters, cutscenes/dialogue scenes happen organically thanks to a nifty algorithm that makes things random (to an extent). It obviously has it's bugs and clipping issues that the detractors love to point out, but for the most part the world in The Witcher 3 is the most alive, immersive game world I've every played in. Simply breathtaking. I mean, the first time I got on my horse and rode through the world, the wind blowing the trees, the sound of hooves clomping through wet mud and grass, the detail during dialogue scenes...makes me want to play it all over again.

*Have not played it, but Firewatch looks pretty beautiful, too. Can anyone else chime in on this game?

Honestly don't know, especially going by just what I've played. Definitely something on the PS4 as I haven't played too many games on my new PC yet. I find it hard to measure how "good" a game looks. The Metro Redux games looked amazing to me. Far Cry 4, Dying Light, and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture are worthy of mentioning to me. And again this is only based off what I've played.

@mrbojangles25: Sadly, Journey was funded by Sony, so it's unlikely it will ever come to other platforms.

Limbo and Journey.

No matter how incredible I think The Witcher 3 looks, non-gamers are not impressed. They'll look at it for a couple minutes and that's about it. Whenever I played Limbo or Journey, it stops people in their tracks and they will sit and watch just looking mesmerized.

Who cares what non-gamers think, right? I'm fascinated by this, because I believe gamers grade video game visuals on a curve. If we're thinking about what the best possible Witcher game would look like, we can imagine how it would look and it looks much better than TW3. It's some inevitable technical point video games will reach someday, but right now the best we have is The Witcher 3. I believe this affects how non-gamers see games. They wonder why TW3 doesn't look as good as quality film CGI. Limbo and Journey didn't push the tech anywhere close to it's breaking point, but they look like 100% art in motion. I don't think Limbo and Journey can look any better and I don't think they will look any worse over time, but it's exactly the opposite with games like The Witcher 3.

I really just love the art styles of both of those games, but I also like to consider how my expectations change generation to generation. Limbo and Journey still look just as good this generation. I'm sure Playdead's next game Inside will be right up there as well. I probably would say The Witcher 3 looks the best to me from technical perspective, but even now I have some issues with small things that will be fixed in future games.

After making the switch to 4k almost every game looks amazing now, its too hard to choose one that looks better than the other. Even oldish games like Bioshock look great. Ryse however already looked so good at 1080p that I don't notice such a big difference in 4k, but I guess I'd say that's the best looking game I've seen.

My favourite looking games however are windwaker HD and Journey. Also Bayonetta 2 looks amazing.

Some of the best from a technical and artistic standpoint have already been mentioned: TW3, SW Battlefront, TLOU:remastered, Vanishing of EC, Bloodborne, Hyperlight Drifter, etc.

I'd like to throw in one I'm surprised nobody has mentioned (for the artistic/style category of visual grading): Okami HD. Okami's watercolor world is just gorgeous.

Rise of the Tomb Raider on PC. Looks stunning at times, only gets points subtracted for having shitty AA and it's a bit inconsistent; Some areas look gorgeous and others rather bland.

The Divison on PC is a stunning as well. Everything from weather effects to lighting, texture detail, shadowing and simply insane amount of detail in the scenery looks insane. The image quality is top notch as well, with its temporal super sampling, and still manages to look sharp without having artifacts when you turn up the ingame sharpening.

For me it raises the bar of IQ of modern games.

Need for speed on PC is also quite the looker, albeit the environments are not very varied and the post processing AA is extremely blurry. With some sweet FX sharpening it looks great though.
