Most Impressive 60 FPS Console Games This Gen

I have both too, and I find MK8 more impressive.
Art style aside? It's not really the art style that makes it so impressive; it's the visual art as a whole, which is the same thing that makes just about any game visually impressive. Driveclub is impressive because its depiction of cars and environments are striking--sections of the Japan course, with its cherry blossoms, and the way the paint on the beautifully modeled cars reflect the enviroment, for instance. It's just that MK8 looks even better. The art style could be ultra-realism, or cell shading, or vintage animation like Cuphead, but those styles in and of themselves are not what makes games look good or bad; it's the art as a whole; the skill, the taste, and the execution.
I know the new hotness is BF2, but my vote still goes towards Battlefield 1 on Pro. (X patch will be even better I assume)
It looks fine as hell, and has SIXTY-FOUR players at once, way more destruction, and bigger infantry maps than any other game so far.

Wow... This is why we need video settings on consoles, I hate the idea that I can have better hardware and still worse performance after upgrading because I'm forced to run at a higher setting on the faster box. On PC I never ever go further than what my system can handle at 60fps.
Really? Damn. Didn't know this tidbit. Thought X1X was doing better than the rest, overall.
Shame Bayonetta 2 has terrible image quality though, the aliasing is horrendous.
I pick Overwatch, has fantastic visual quality at 60fps.
Infinite Warfare. People always complained about CoD graphics last gen, this gen though they look really good if you ask me and IW is just ridiculous. Very pretty game with solid performance. Much stronger case for a 60fps console shooter than any of the idtech games with their largely static levels and generally limited scope. IW doesn't need to prerender their cutscenes like Wolf has to and they still manage to look far better at rendering characters, many more objects can be present on the screen and the dynamic lighting is just a generation ahead of idtech games... idtech6 is so overrated at this when both frostbite and CoD games are pushing so much more.

The game had an unlocked framerate...
For me it's Rocket League on Switch (docked). Rock solid 60fps and nice effects.
I played DOOM on PS4 which impressed the hell out of me at the time, although there were some dips.
But that's history now, having played Halo 5, Forza 7 and Titanfall 2 on my X, all of which have blown me the fuck away. Native 4K at 60fps isn't something I expected to see on consoles for a good few years.
I should also add the Odyssey is continuing to impress too, given that I'm playing only in portable mode and yet it's locked 60fps, and still lovely to look at.

I wouldn't call that a 60 FPS game. It spends a lot of time between 40-50 FPS during battles with drops into the low 30s.
Well it's Battlefront 2 on the X now but I still think Doom is more impressive considering how relatively weak the hardware it's running on is.
Mind blown.
Battlefront 2. It looks like graphics heavy 30fps console game but runs at 60fps. Battlefield 1 fits the bill too. DICE are tech wizards.
The thread is about games that run at 60 Frames Per Second. Re-read the OP.
I wonder how many games are left if the requirements are "locked 60 fps at all times"? Or let's start a bit less drastic, drops of a single frame are allowed if they don't appear regularly. IIRC, that definitely eliminates DOOM, Wolfenstein 2, the Battlefront games, and SMO (just play New Donk City for that).
What's left is MK8D, GTS, Forza 7 and maybe Splatoon 2. At least the only hitching I saw playing it was in Salmon Run between waves, just as the tide changes. Any other games?

Doom is the game that impressed me the most in terms of its sheer stability and consistency of overall quality. Battlefront objectively looks more realistic in some ways, but all of the Frostbite games (BF1, BFront, BFront2 etc) have had their compromises visibly on display. This is less prominent on the PC versions but running on baseline Xbox One or PS4 hardware, Doom maintains better image quality on a constant basis and because it is not trying to do such large open areas, it also suffers less from visible popin and similar. Battlefront and Battlefront 2 are technically impressive but I give the nod to id on this one, especially when you compare the lowest end configurations on baseline xb1 hardware to each other.
Except it failed to reach 60fps most of the time...
I love the game but it wasn't solid 60fps at all.
Even on the Pro image quality is bad, the game reaches 1080p just when nothing is on screen. You will notice it immediately when playing the PC version, which looks much nicer.
Since the game also has little to nothing in terms of post-processing to mask the lowish resolution on Pro, it's even more noticeable. Looks clean and crisp as fuck.
Sure framerate is a lot more stable though, which is key in a game like Nioh. Was thinking about getting the PC version, but I've already finished the PS4 version... maybe at a deep discount.
Oh sorry, thought the use of capitals for fps make it about FPS (the joys of using a small mobile phone screen). If any game genre that runs at 60ps. I have to say Rise of Tomb Raider and Gears Of War IV running onthe One X
Ew, no. Like, I appreciate the effort that went into that, but it looks bad on Switch, both compared to the same game on other platforms and other 60fps Switch games like MK8.
Would Dice rent its engine to other developers? We may see other 60fps titles?
Battlefield 1 by far the best looking title i have seen this gen.

Some here mentioned Nioh. While I love the game, I have to disagree. Visually, it's not in the same ballpark as other games.
Doom and the Battlefield / Battlefront games are the highlights for me. GT Sport as well as it can look stunning at times.
While Forza games look good, they are somehow flat and you can immediately see the shortcuts they took to lock it at 60.
I hope that for next gen, it's gonna be more 60fps games with dynamic resolution scaling for the different consoles and upgrades.

the amount of physics calculations it has to constantly make is very high and very cpu intensive, much more than a game like mk8
Speaking of mario man does the game have really hefty dips at times, that is surprising for a Nintendo game lol.
Mostly around certain effects like when there is like a bump under the ground that's moving around that you have to butt stomp.
