we're gonna make it
both of us
welcome to watch mojo and today we'll be
counting down
our picks for the top 10 best looking
games of the eighth generation
whoever is not my focus should be yours
but only when safe to do so
i can do that i'm a doctor
well a corner originally
[Music]
for this list we're prioritizing games
with photorealistic graphics that have
noteworthy environmental and character
detail
and while we understand that there are
way more than 10 beautiful games that
were released throughout the generation
these are the ones that really stood out
to us so let's jump in
number 10 marvel spider-man
plenty of games have been set in new
york city but none have been as detailed
and realistic as the version of
manhattan
seen in spider-man on ps4 though there
was some controversy at launch about
whether the game had seen a graphical
downgrade
this turned out to not be the case it's
a stunning game
through and through
but the most impressive thing about
spider-man's visuals aren't the textures
or
animations it's the incredible speed at
which new york is rendered as spidey
swings through the streets
you won't see any pop in or frame rate
drops while traversing
and the snow effects in miles morales
are a sight to behold too
i've never seen a storm this bad
number 9 death stranding
oh great hideo kojima's magnum opus
at least until he releases his next game
death stranding is a technological
achievement like no other
sam needs to traverse a desolate world
on the brink of extinction
but though you won't run across many
npcs you'll spend plenty
of time in the great outdoors
[Music]
the gameplay itself is a little divisive
but there's no denying that it's one of
the most photorealistic games ever made
you can see every hair on norman reedus
head in 4k
on pc after all it's just a shame so
many of the game's environments
are so similar to each other
number eight final fantasy vii remake no
you don't
not when i'm working i promise you will
regret this
the sector in which you stand has been
condemned as the first 3d final fantasy
the original final fantasy 7 was already
pushing the boundaries of graphics
way back when it first released on the
ps1 ever since the franchise has had a
name for its incredible visuals
and the remake of final fantasy vii is
no exception
this is midgar as you've never seen it
before vast and beautifully recreated
from top to bottom
but though some of the background
textures fell flat the game excelled
more than any other with its outstanding
character models
some of gaming's most beloved characters
were given a new lease on life by square
enix in 2020
number seven sakuro shadows die twice
from software's last 8th gen game was
also of course
their best looking with a rendition of
feudal japan that's as beautiful as it
is brutal
in sakura photo realism combines with
hirataka miyazaki's legendary eye for
enemy design
creating a monumental number of unique
bosses mini bosses
and enemies for you to take down with
your trusty katana
on console the game looked pretty good
but it was the pc version that really
shone
with a locked frame rate of 60 fps and
even higher resolution textures
in short secure doesn't just have some
of the best gameplay in the industry
but also some of the best graphics
number six resident evil 2.
capcom spared no expense when they
remade resident evil 2 back in 2019
using the re engine that had first been
shown off in the equally impressive
resident evil 7
resident evil 2 was a master class in
lighting effects
leon's flashlight proved invaluable as
he scoured the rpd station
and in plenty of creepy corridors it was
the only source of light at all
further adding to the game's terrifying
atmosphere what in the
[ __ ]
on top of the shaders used the game also
featured photorealistic damage modeling
meaning if you shoot an enemy in the
head expect to see skull and brains all
over the place
[Applause]
number five horizon zero dawn no way but
forward now stop
right there just turn around
aloy doesn't just have one or two
distinct biomes to explore
but four all with a unique visual flare
and their own mechanical wildlife
you begin in the forests of the nora
homelands before traveling to harsh and
snowy mountaintops the orange canyons
along the great run river
and finally a dense jungle far to the
south
that's without mentioning the game's
many digital dungeons
you'll never be short of an opportunity
to take a great screenshot especially
not if you take the time to scale the
tallnex
and see the world's vistas from above
for a planet overrun by robots
horizon zero dawn never fails to be
lifelike
number four ghost of tsushima
what better way to cap off the
playstation 4's life cycle than with a
remarkable title such as this
the world of tsushima is teeming with
life rendering objects at incredible
detail
and creating a world designed not just
for combat and exploration
but for an expansive photo mode ghost of
tsushima presents a breathtaking world
that is both grim
and beautiful from its golden leaf trees
and steamy hot springs to its ominous
atmosphere of smoke and storms
you can even enjoy these scenic
environments with a filter that
replicates the look and feel of a film
made by akira kurosawa
the director of many samurai films
including the legendary
seven samurai
number three god of war father
what did something change
the forest feels different
borrowing heavily from movies god of war
played out in its entirety in one take
with all the actions and cutscenes
happening fluidly from one moment to the
next
at a glance the game is incredibly
photorealistic this is kratos as we've
never seen him before
but the attention to detail runs deeper
than that we're here
you live in a tree not in it
below it from the elemental effects
you'll see in combat to the designs of
the game's most notable characters
god of war knocks it out of the park on
every level overflowing with the high
quality sony's first player games
are known for
number two the last of us part two
so where are we
[Music]
though extremely polarizing gamers can
at least agree on one thing when it
comes to the last of us too
it looks incredible naughty dog has
always been known for being a graphical
powerhouse
with uncharted 4 showing off with a ps4
cadoo just a few years into its life
cycle
with an additional four years of
experience under their belt naughty dog
released one of the most photorealistic
games
ever made
ellie's violent travels through an
apocalyptic seattle overrun with both
zombies and plant life
are astonishing to watch and the
graphics ensure you won't be able to
look away
even when the game reaches its goriest
points
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
forza horizon 4. this gorgeous franchise
continues to push
xbox hardware to its limits
[Music]
batman arkham knight because gotham city
never looked so good
the witcher 3 wild hunt a vibrant open
world with detailed environments
and enemies
assassin's creed valhalla a stunning
rendition of 9th century england and
norway
these lands bring our people hope
i will do whatever it takes to make
england our home

number one red dead redemption 2.
[Music]
rockstar spared no expense in making the
natural wilderness of their blockbuster
cowboy simulator the most beautiful
world we've seen in gaming so far
every part of the five fictional states
you visit is living and breathing
from the sounds to the sights to the
wildlife plenty of ecosystems are
contained within this fast game with
arthur morgan traveling between the
snowy mountains of ambarino
the humid swamps of lemoyne and the
grasslands of new hanover
truth is there's never really any
getting out
and staying in it's hard you know that
but bessie and i made it work even the
parts of the map that already existed in
the first game were completely remade
from the ground up
no longer is new austin brown and washed
out but orange and picturesque
no matter where you are in red dead 2
the world will always look
like a postcard
