No way... what game is this? What the hell, this looks so real!
No one is saying that?
Anyways. Have yet to play Metro Exodus , but I am just in awe how believable its environments are
But this is using rt stuff. Lighting is just rendered offline to static texture. It's nothing new. The next big thing is REALTIME raytracing.

All due respect to every dev out there.
Polyphony are in a league of their own when it comes to "no way that's a video game". Scapes mode is cheating, though.

Base PS4 still pulling its weight.
Another one that I enjoy in an abstract way is a lot of the DLC Time Trials in Mirror's Edge. They're all trippy, Escher-style works of art.
I thought Dragon Ball FighterZ would be one of the first games posted here
the game looks too good to confuse screenshots with the anime.
What on earth I never played those I should get back to it. Original or catalyst?Base PS4 still pulling its weight.

Whoa, does this game really look like this emulated?Attack of the Friday Monsters! A Tokyo Tale (3DS)
It's by far my favorite 3DS game.

Original, which still holds up so well visually. Sadly, I don't think Catalyst got any DLC to my knowledge.
In regards to Baten Kaitos (and many other games featuring pre-rendered backgrounds) I always wondered how they did the more dynamic effects like lighting or animated portions. Was that little snippet of a screen basically a gif? Would they calculate the lighting for that specific area and have the game overlay it on the scene?
We're kind of at odds here with games that have photorealistic art direction and games that have more visually abstract art direction, but thank you to the people posting Attack of the Friday Monsters, Gris and Gorogoa, because these games deserve love.
Two of those screenshots are literally CGI...That's a very good one. In a similar boat, Square did some stuff in KH3 that if I didn't know better I'd say was straight from the movies. The Pirates section may not be photo-realistic, but it'd definitely pass for a Robert Zemeckis-style CG film like Beowulf or Polar Express, while you have to squint to know which version of Frozen is from the film and which is from the game.

I do believe you are the first. And also an excellent example.No Child of Light mentions? Or did I just miss it?
I was gonna post it but forgot.No Child of Light mentions? Or did I just miss it?
Used to think this was photo realistic back in 2004
I used to think this was going to be in the game back in 2004
Everybody's gone to the rapture could pass as real life to me if I was just taking a quick glance
Shit that one is even better than the one i replied with.
such a shame this was never ported to PC, remastered, and/or 4K Backwards compatible on xbox one x.
Nothing. The game is locked away behind it's low res, and man you can just see how much it would shine.
that is almost entirely prebaked. Which is fine, it looks good. It's completely static lighting. Ray tracing is doing that lighting for real so that the whole game has lighting that good at all time of day
Hades (buy this fucking game people, even if you hate roguelike like me)
whats the difference to other roguelikes? I often love the look and the feel (e.g. dead cells) but the gameplay loop just annoys me.
the game is a roguelite not roguelike, you can buy power up that endure for every run.
the gameplay is super fun, varied, with pixel perfect precision and great controls.
all the weapons feels great and are all viable.
the art design of location, npc, etc. is sublime, even the lore and story are very well made for a roguelike. (the english va is EXCELLENT, like triple A excellent)
and all the progression system with the boon with different gods reminds me of transistor and his mix and match of powers, if you like that type of personalization you are gonna love hades.
i hate roguelike with a passion and hades is my indie goty of 2019.
right now is on a little halloween discount on the epic store, i bough the game when it was 14 euros, a fucking steal.
p.s. even the soundtrack is great.
I was about to post this, sad MonolighSoft / Nintendo forget about thoseAh, I love pre-rendered backgrounds. I wish it was still popular.
Baten kaitos had some amazing pre-rendered backgrounds aswell
Out of all the ample stunners in this thread, I'm quite glad at all the El Sheddai love that's been thrown at it. It truly is one of a kind. Also pleased at the Alice: Madness Returns mention for a particularly great section of the game.
Also, holy shit that GT Sport gif. That HAS to have been edited at some level. I simply can't believe it.
I had no notion such abstract levels existed in Mirror's Edge. Damn, you've successfully got me all geared up to experience these.

For real. This is a discussion forum, when you post an image whose source only SOME people will guess then discussion goes to shit.
Besides I like threads like this one in order to discover new stuff but if what we get are only nameless images then the thread becomes pointless.
To the people who bother spending a few seconds to name their images sorry for the rant.
