graphics aren’t everything except for
this list welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be counting down our picks
for the top 10 current-gen games with
the best graphics before we begin we
publish new videos every day so be sure
to subscribe for more great content for
this list we’re looking at a variety of
games released for our current gen
consoles which includes the PlayStation
4 Wii U Nintendo switch Xbox one and PC
games released since 2014 and ranking
them purely based on how much of a
graphical spectacle day we’re able to
provide keep in mind that while games
with more artistic graphical Beauty like
inside are undoubtedly signing in their
own right we are instead focusing on
titles that push the horsepower of their
systems to the limits striving for photo
realism in a high level of technical
detail
number ten the vanishing of Ethan Carter
at work dozens of cases hundreds this
would be my last one this horror themed
adventure game is now powered by the
Unreal 4 engine and it really shows lush
and vibrant colors are painted across
the densely detailed landscapes further
elevated by excellent lighting and draw
distances which all come together to
help the creepy atmosphere ease off the
screen the best part about all this is
that since the game is designed as a
kind of walking simulator it encourages
the players to walk around freely and
take in the world at their own pace so
don’t be surprised if you find yourself
doing nothing but gazing at the stunning
environments on more than one occasion
because heck look how pretty it is just
to climb just look at it
number nine Mario Kart 8
[Music]
just because the WiiU is technically
underpowered in comparison to BS 4 and
Xbox one and obviously PC it doesn’t
mean that it’s incapable of providing
some i popping visuals in its own right
Mario Kart 8 is one of the best examples
of what the Wii U is capable of from a
graphical perspective
[Music]
never before has a Mario Kart game
provided such staggering draw distances
with breathtaking scope
each environment is brimming with
personality thanks to smart texture work
and great lighting effects but perhaps
the greatest strength on display here is
the incredible use of color with every
possible blue green red and yellow being
used to spectacular effect to create
quite the visual treat number 8 Forza
horizon 3
[Music]
[Applause]
from one racing game to another forth of
horizon three shows off some of the
nicest looking visuals in recent memory
taking the second word in its title to
heart the latest Corsa installment takes
full advantage of the architecture
within the Xbox one to create some
remarkable locations to zoom our cars
through seriously it’s may sound
superficial but have you seen that
guidelines setting the game in Australia
the games developers had expertly
recreated the terrain for an
authentically Tarasque depiction of the
real thing making the player feel like
they’re actually tearing through the
sand water and deep forests it’s very
easy to enjoy the ride with graphics
like these number 7 Batman Arkham Knight
Batman’s jumped from one generation of
consoles to the next gave developers
access to much more powerful hardware to
create a much more authentic look for
Gotham City
the added horsepower in current gen
systems allowed for cutscenes to be
rendered in real time on the game’s
graphics engine resulting in a
consistently striking visual style for
the entire experience tell me kind of
what if I don’t want to one single
character model contains the same amount
of polygons used to render the entirety
of Arkham Asylum and that’s saying
something the dark tone that comes with
being the Batman was finally nailed in
this installment and the graphics have a
large part to play in that I’m spending
through this blog card location be
careful yeah looking good out there
number 6
he will find Guardian
the halo franchise’s first foray onto
the Xbox one was definitely a benchmark
title in showing what kind of beefy
power of Microsoft’s new console had
under its hood pre-rendered cutscenes
are i popping to say the least and
though the in-game visuals don’t quite
match the splendor of those they are
still nothing short of marvelous 343
studios packed in a bombardment of
little details into every area with an
overall package that strives for a very
impressive sight to see without
compromising the rock-solid 60 frames
per second
just imagine what halo 6 is going to
look like John it’s too important to
stop
number five final fantasy 50 envision is
possible without corrective lenses after
nearly a decade in development one
should expect Final Fantasy 15 to have
fantastic graphics and oh boy doesn’t
ever few games are able to provide such
massive open worlds to explore while
simultaneously looking this to him good
the draw distances and massive scale at
the enemies in worlds are some of the
planets gaming has ever experienced
whether you’re knee-deep in an intense
battle or just cruising along taking in
the sights at your own pace Final
Fantasy 15 has no shortage of wow
moments for you to goth and gaze at
[Music]
number four the order 1886 sweet dreams
– although failing to become the next
big thing for the PlayStation the order
1886 didn’t fail when it came to showing
off its high production values and
impressive graphical technologies
powering the game the game fits into the
uncanny valley for its startlingly
lifelike animations and insanely
realistic environments character bottles
particle effects and texture work are
amazing and it seems like every corner
of this game is shining with a high
level of polish on the stove trust us
watching gameplay of the order of a
computer phone or tablet will not do the
graphics justice it’s just a shame that
when it came to gameplay and story
it isn’t very good you pledge to give
your life in service to our righteous
cause with all my heart and soul number
three The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt
despite being a gargantuan open world to
explore developer CD Projekt RED still
somehow managed to make it look better
than most games on the market they
actually built their own game engine
from the ground up called red engine 3
specifically for the purposes of running
display seemeth and it definitely pays
off in spades world feels vibrant and
alive due to the realist Flair that
embodies practically every square inch
of the environment from the characters
to the town’s to the water physics and
all of the little special effects in
between use for casting magic spells The
Witcher 3 is a testament to how pretty
open-world games can be number 2
battlefield 1
developer dice is no stranger to
crafting their products with a high
level of graphical finesse and seen in
the latest Star Wars Battlefront release
however we feel like the latest
battlefield installment pushes the
boundaries of graphical prowess even
further the aura Wars brought to life in
brutal and Fulani fashion from the giant
Zeppelin’s that soar through the sky
rank down to the pistol in the players
hands everything in the game looks
absolutely stellar debris and explosions
lock the screen with tons of flair all
while maintaining a steady framerate
amidst the chaos try playing the game
with no HUD for increased immersion into
this beautiful battlefield
before we get to our top pick your a few
honorable mentions from Jeff I will reap
in an arm a storm of shadows to take
back what’s ours
come on
number one uncharted for a thief and
just on the other side of the river when
you say we go grab from the ridge huh
where did not even begin when it came to
packing in all the detail to be seen in
uncharted 4 pushing the hardware of the
ps4 further than any other game
available for the system drake’s last
outing takes off all the boxes of
remarkable graphical fidelity every tree
rock explosion and character model is
rendered with such a mind-blowing level
of detail that you’ll wonder how the
game even runs at all damn it
what’s your access Lighting wonderfully
cascades across huge environments
phenomenal textures are packed into
every nook and cranny and bright colors
bring Beauty to every waking second of
the experience the game’s photorealism
makes our jaws drop like no other
current gen title purity of surprise
