Digital Foundry's Best Game Graphics of 2019

I have to say that short snippet of Control didn't paint a pretty picture when they showed to console foootage.
As John was saying 'it runs much better now' it dropped several times below 30fps.
And they only showed seconds of footage!

Yup, those are indeed the games i would pick, metro looks damn near cg like maxed out with raytracing on and death stranding pushes what is possible with modest console hardware.
Alex did the edit and didn't have access to assets outside of what I originally produced. I didn't have time to provide anything for it.
I played Day's Gone 3-4 weeks after release and the only issues I faced where a chugging frame rate in the latter part of the game. Graphically it's up there with the most impressive titles this gen. Of particular note are the ground & road textures, foliage etc. Also big props to Bend for making each building and location unique. It really did feel as if you where walking around an individuals property when you stepped into a house.
One of the major reasons I didn't rush through the game. I'm really looking forward to what Bend does next. With a little more focus and experience they're destined for great things.
I'm not criticising so much I just thought it was funny.
Good video BTW.
Honestly I think rather than tech specifically, it's more that a real face comes with the imperfections of a real human, like John said in the vid, they picked people who do not look traditionally "video gamey"
A lot of Naughty Dog characters are loosely based on someone but altered by artists, so may look a little too perfect and symmetrical for our monkey brains to fully accept
It's not only the amazing graphics, Exodus' atmosphere and world-building is out of this world. One of the best this gen.
Death-Stranding is my pick for best graphics, the game is drop-dead gorgeous, blew me away

Gears and Death Stranding just look so good in HDR.
Love the shout out to Die-Hardman.
Gears 5's cutscenes look CG. Straight up pre-rendered but they aren't. Blows my mind. The way it changes scene so quickly and smoothly is unlike any other game
Death Stranding's cutscenes aren't as action packed as Gears, but the environmental changes in Death Stranding are unbelievable.
Metro Exodus has some nice tech but I haven't played it.

Yes, what an amazing looking game. Asobo are going into the big league as developers of the new Microsoft Flight Simulator, which is already looking like a huge jump in sim tech. Clearly a very talented studio.
Death Stranding is one of these games that nails both style and tech, so easy win for me. Metro is kinda the opposite. While great on a technical level, the art style does nothing for me.
I don't think Indirect Diffuse Lighting in Control is the same as RTGI in Metro Exodus.
Gears 5 was good, but not within my Top 5 this year. Certainly not on the level of the their Top 2 (Metro and Death Stranding ~ my two personal picks as well). But yeah, still a solid year for game visuals!
Days gone was robbed. how does it not even get an honorary mention?
The game ran like shit at launch (and still runs bad on the bike now) which is probably why. The dynamic weather system was very good though.
To be fair} Metro Exodus was also an absolute mess even a month after launch and we know Control barely ran over 20fps in combat on base consoles.
Agreed. The later half of Death Stranding is absolutely insane and the character models are disgusting. Can't wait to see what Kojima does with the PS5.
Pretty much RDR2 PC if that counts. some of the areas in that game just look dumb.
I played it launch and platinumed it. Beat every horde and never had any issues. The only time i got framerate issues was when i wnt to the second area and all of a sudden framerate started stuttering but only when driving and it wasn't all the time.
Its clearly a streaming issue because i beat a thousand man horde with no fps drops.
