Spider-Man. Some of pics I've seen are just unreal. I grew up with Spider-Man looking like a red/blue Pitfall Harry.

Has there been a game this gen that made you think "I can't believe this was accomplished on these consoles"

Red Dead on Xbox One X. As a PC gamer, this is the only game that I thought looked as good as the PC version would look.
That native 4K image was something to behold for an open world game. I still can't believe they were able to do it.

Red Dead this gen for sure. Those sunsets and misty mountains looked as crisp and clear as anything taken by a high quality camera.
I think the most impressive game of all time for me will always be Resident Evil: Revelations on the 3DS. It looked a bit better than Resident Evil 4 in parts, and it was a launch game on a handheld!

It's more on the few moments, like seeing the Thunderbird's wings glistening in the moonlight without shimmering, or fighting crazy amounts of machines at once with no apparent framedrops. Some of the battles you can get into is pretty crazy.
Say, if Horizon was released after RDR2 though? I probably wont be as impressed.
Honestly, no. Everything this gen I've seen is within the expectations of what I believed the current generation of consoles can do. Stuff like RDR2 is good but I can 100% believe it's running on consoles one generation above RDR1. Nothing has pushed the hardware in a way that's impressed me like, say, the 360 port of Titanfall 1 or Velvez and Dubail's old Nintendo handheld games.
The Order 1886
RDR2 (1X)
DMC5 (1X)
The only ones this gen. Horizon, Spider-Man and God of War all look great but not unbelievable to me.

If Death Stranding isn't the peak currently, I know for damn sure it isn't Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Cmon...
SotTR isn't the peak but it is a game that impressed me. overall i think RDR2 is the best looking game on consoles currently, especially considering the scale.
If I had to choose one, it's between GTSport and RDR 2.
Driveclub, Uncharted 4, HZD very close behind.

I wouldn't call PS2 exactly a piece of shit of hardware, at least at launch.
Detroit Become Human on base PS4 hardware was pretty mindbowing. Everything looked so perfect.
Can't imagine how good it looked on the Pro

I agree. So much that I didn't invest money in PS4, Xbox One or PC. Handhelds only... they are amazing!
Red Dead 2 for sure.
Also playing Breath of the Wild in handheld mode. Being able to play something that looked like that on a handheld device was pretty crazy.
And since I have played some of it at E3, I can say that I can't believe FFVII Remake is real, though for different reasons.
2020 looks like it may have a few contenders. Cyberpunk, Last of Us Part II, Ghost of Tsushima, Halo Infinite (assuming it's cross-gen), etc.

Horizon - I took more screenshots in photomode than I ever have in any game. Just a mindblowingly good looking game at all times.
Red Dead Redemption 2 - The draw distance on base consoles is INSANE. I don't know how they did it.
Spider-Man - Just like with RDR2, the draw distance is incredible. Plus the detail on the suits and characters is top notch.
Uncharted 4 - Pretty much every 5-10 minutes in this game there are gorgeous vistas that I had to stop for a bit and take in / take screenshots of.

Agreed.
I'd also like to add Uncharted 4, Spiderman, GOW, Death Stranding, GT Sport, and RDR2 to my list of jaw dropping games I can't believe they got to work on consoles.
Edit: Forgot to mention PSVR. Games like AstroBot, Ace Combat 7, and GT Sport look sublime on it. The whole tech itself shouldn't even work on PS4 but it just does. I'm impressed that Sony was able to pull it off on the Pro what more the base PS4.
Most of the games I play are AA anime looking games, so pretty much any time I decide to play a big AAA game my mind is completely shattered. God of War and Horizon really stick out to me.
The Crew 2 is not a good game, and it's not particularly impressive visually. But in a gen where so many open-world games feature lengthy load screens if you want to fast travel, The Crew 2 has both one of the biggest maps I've seen and virtually no loading to warp across it. No idea how they managed that.
Horizon Zero Dawn on PS4 Pro. Still absolutely stunning.
The Order 1886. Just incredible looking, though I can see how it was accomplished since it is linear.
Forza Horizon 4 on Xbox 1X. It's right up there graphically with the best racers on closed circuits, but still open world.
Gears 5 XB1X - Game looks stunning, it's one of those "Shit they actually made it look so much better somehow" from the previous title.
RDR2 - PS4/XB1X. Rockstar are tech gods. I did not expect it to look as good as it does.
Doom Switch. - It's fucking Doom on Switch. Jesus.
Last gen was probably The Last of Us , KillZone 2 and Uncharted 2 on PS3. Halo 4 on Xbox 360 and Killzone Mercenaries on Vita.

9 years later, and I'm still blown away at the graphics. Fantastic art direction, use of camera angles, and the fact that it runs at a framerate higher than 30 on a PS3 is incredible.
These days, I play the Remastered version. Fucking amazing game.
Death stranding looks way too photorealistic at times. It really does look like that unreal engine rebirth demo in some areas.
Not in the fillrate and in the bandwidth. And considered it was the more dated hardware of the 3, it's really an illogical comparison. PS2 wasn't exactly a bad hardware when it was launched on the market.
