Graphics in video games have made leaps and bounds over the last several years.
The more and more innovative technology gets, the better our games look, to the point where
some feel just like real life.
Today, we're counting down a handful of titles that have wowed us with their realistic
graphics and really shaken up the way we look at video games as works of art.
This is our list of the top 10 video games that look like real life.
10 Uncharted 4 Uncharted 4 may have been the end of Nathan
Drake's story, but oh boy did he go out with a bang.
Not to say that he's dead or anything, no spoilers here if you haven't played it yet.
But for those who have, you'll know how wonderfully detailed and absolutely stunning
the exotic locations featured in the game are.
From islands once inhabited by pirates to the school grounds that young Nathan once
stomped upon, Uncharted 4 doesn't hold out when it comes to creating immersive and realistic,
yet highly imaginable environments.
It's not just the environments either; the characters have come a long way in terms of
details since the series' first title, too.
9 Siren Including Siren on this list feels a little
bit like cheating, since Siren isn't technically a game.
But it's the future of gaming; from Epic Games, Cubic Motion, 3Lateral, Tencent and
Vicon, the Siren demo was released back in March of this year, and it showcased a real-time
use of Epic's Unreal Engine 4 is capable of.
Using technology that tracks more than 200 facial features at over 90 frames per second,
it automatically maps the data it collects to high-quality digital characters in real
time.
Andy Wood, the chairman of Cubic Motion, noted that, "by 2020, this will no doubt transform
content production across the board by making this technology universally available.
By 2024, we may all be interacting with digital humans in some way or other, whether its via
headsets, films, tv, games, live performances and broadcasts, or by directing digital assistants
in our homes in real-time."
So who knows what kinds of graphics we'll be getting in a handful of years from now.
A lot to look forward to.
Moving on from hyper realistic to a game whose content unintentionally hit home much closer
than Ubisoft initially intended- 8 Far Cry 5
Far Cry 5 runs on the Dunia Engine; a Ubisoft-modded version of the original CryEngine that dev
Crytek used to craft the original game in the series prior to Ubisoft purchasing it.
Far Cry is one of those franchises that has always done a great job at seamlessly rendering
its beautiful and vast open worlds, and Far Cry 5 is no different.
From the Montana rural landscapes to the grotesque violence of cult leader Joseph Seed and his
peggies, the world is rich and reactive.
The team behind the game at Ubisoft actually visited Montana for 14 days collecting information
on its environment, biomes and the "self-reliant" nature of the locals there, similar to what
they had done for research for Far Cry 4 in Nepal.
7 Anthem Anthem is the first game on our list that
has yet to be released; there's a few on here.
So we're basing this solely off of the gameplay footage that BioWare and EA have released.
Set in a reactive shared open world that's a mix between solo and co-op, this new IP
promises to feature a lot of great content for players to experience, from lost ruins,
various terrain, underwater areas and savage beasts to fight off.
Developed in the Forstbite 3 engine, BioWare has promised that the game will support new
content and updates for potentially a 10 year run, which is pretty darn exciting.
6 The Last of Us Remastered When people first started playing Naughty
Dog's The Last of Us in 2013, one of the biggest praises it received was how damn good
it looked, and how realistic it was.
Considering how terrifying the Infected are that you come across in the game, it's basically
nightmare fuel.
But wonderful, highly addictive nightmare fuel.
When the Last of Us remastered came out for the PS4, the graphics were even better, believe
it or not.
That combined with the outstanding and poignant emotional narrative, the Last of Us has quickly
become one of the most highly praised and critically acclaimed titles of all time.
5 Cuphead Cuphead isn't a game you think would make
it onto this list.
Entirely hand-drawn and painted, Cuphead is a game that emulates the late 1920's and
1930's animation of legends like the Fleischer Brothers, and has a soundtrack that fits right
into that era to boot.
But that's exactly why it ended up on this list; its ability to seamlessly look like
it popped right out of a cartoon from that era is absolutely mind blowing.
Surreal, subversive and wonderfully kinetic, the aesthetic is one of the most seamless
when it comes to cartoon-ish games.
The team behind it at the Canadian company StudioMDHR noted that they attempted a game
in the style of Cuphead back in 2000, but lacked the tools to bring it to fruition,
and found that their process in creating the game with its human imperfections was a reaction
to the perfectionism of pixel art.
4 Metro Exodus Metro Exodus takes place in a post-apocalyptic
wasteland, and it's scary how real it looks.
Developed in 4A Game's custom engine, which was also used when developing Metro 2033,
the game is set to be released on Feburary 22nd of 2019, yet its previews have people's
jaws dropping with how detailed it is.The game looks great on the Xbox One X, which
was initially showcased at E3 2017, but it looks even better on PC; from snow to dust
to shrapnel, the game cuts no corners in really making its world feel like our own.
The games rendering utilizes a lot of well-crafted features, including global illumination and
real-time reflective lights, real-time colour correction and advanced deferred shading and
reflections.
So all in all, it's pretty darn beautiful.
3 Red Dead Redemption 2 It should be no surprise that Red Dead 2 is
a stunning game.
Incredibly responsive and introducing several new game mechanics that we haven't seen
from a Rockstar title before.
The game boasts a rich and thriving ecosystem that is seemingly just as detailed (potentially
even more so) than Grand Theft Auto 5, with locales that range from desert wastelands
to murky swamps, and the weapons have been improved upon to not only be super reactive,
but realistic, aiming to make gun fights more grounded and immersive for players.
The only reason why it hasn't topped GTA V on our list is because the game isn't
out yet, and players have yet to see how it performs on their consoles.
But to be fair, it'll probably look even better.
Speaking of, 2 Grand Theft Auto V
Despite bring released back in 2013, GTA V is arguably one of the most beautiful video
games ever.
At the time, the graphics were absolutely stunning, and after being released for the
PS4 (which also included a first person mode), the game continues to captivate the millions
of players who still jump into it on a continual basis, whether that be in GTA Online or in
the game's story mode.
People have actually gone as far as becoming 'photographers' in the game; one of the
mechanics in the game allows you to use your cell phone to snap photos, and the snaps that
some players have managed to get of the wild life or environment in the game is glorious.
GTA V has proven to be a game in which satisfies the same thrills that the other titles in
the franchise have boasted, but its exceptional graphics and cinematic flavor have inspired
players to go beyond just car-jacking and heisting; it's a game that you can take
a long hike in nature through and genuinely enjoy it, all without shooting a single bullet.
Unless you're attacked by a cougar.
Then you're f***ed my friend.
1 Star Citizen While Kickstarter has allowed developer Cloud
Imperium Games to craft an early version of Star Citizen, the MMO is still a long way
from being the game that they, and all of its fans, want it to be.
With a handful of game modes available to try out and a single player story driven game
called Squadron 42 set within its universe, Star Citizen is incredibly promising to say
the least.
Initially the game used CryEngine 3 but has since migrated over to the Amazon Lumberyard
engine since 2016.
The attention to detail so far is astounding, and the pre alpha gameplay footage for Squadron
42 feels like you're actually navigating around a very real space station.
And when you're flying around out in space?
Let's just say your graphics card on your PC will surely get a good work out.
Star Citizen tops our list for creating a world that not only looks just like our own,
but offers a glimpse at what reality could potentially be like in an attainable future.
