    Many thanks for a great list, Sir. And for another year of brilliant videos. By far the best games tech channel. You always look for the positives first, the negatives second. I come for your attitude as well as your expertise.
    While the X1X was certainly my hardware of the year, it was Sony’s year for games and the remarkable tech that drives them.
    Your list is my list to the letter. But it’s God of War at the top for me. Not only my GOTY but the tech, art design and performance were nothing short of astounding. It raises the bar for action adventures for the whole industry and - best of all - all platforms will benefit from reaching for that bar. Actual game changer.
    Happy Christmas.

    Sterling job as ever NX (Michael)! I agree with most of your list, although I would shift some of the titles around in my own. The only one that I'd disagree with is Battlefield V. It does look nice and it's very impressive in that it runs at 60fps while looking as good as it does, but what lets it down for me is all of the visual glitches that I encountered. I felt the same way about Battlefront 2 last year. I wish you and your family a happy Christmas. All the very best to you.

    The progress and evolution of No Man's Sky has been impressive but I would have replaced that entry, which is a 2016 game, with the magnificent Shadow of the Colossus remake. Bluepoint's own engine was terrific to kickstart the year, and everything in that game, even if attempting to stick to certain elements of the 2005 original, performed incredibly.

      in some areas RDR 2 is the best but in-terms of characters models GOW,Spider man and Detroit Become human are better and GOW semi linear designs allows for particles effects that RDR 2 could only dream of touching and ps5 might be the machine that would give us GOW as a full open world game with details of GOW 2018 or more

Just my opinion. 🙂

      @Arseni.P 5 років тому +8

      I seem to be in the minority of people to think RDR2 looks "fine" or "decent". I played the game on ps4 pro but never was impressed by the graphics, in fact I was even slightly disappointed. Everyone praised the graphics and said it's the best looking game of 2018, but I wonder if those people played God of War or Detroit. Textures in RDR2 are nothing special and the AA solution is pretty aggressive which makes the game look quite blurry even on the pro with higher resolutions.
      RDR2 has definitely outstanding lighting and the best snow(physics) of all games. Only compared to some other games does is lack in quality in my opinion.

    • @HugoStiglitz88
      @HugoStiglitz88 5 років тому +1

      It definitely is not even close to the best looking game of October let alone this year. Mediocre textures and models, insanely blurry image quality, good but far from industry leading lighting, and an HDR implementation so bad that the game looks better with it off.

    I know it’s a subjective list and all, but for a channel about graphics tech it’s weird that number 1 and a “very close” number 2 were both awarded to games with horrifically broken HDR. Shouldn’t the more forward-looking, ground-breaking devs get a bit more love, rather than giving a pat on the back to those who are doing yesterday’s thing (albeit exceptionally well).

      The reason is I requested a review code but never got one. It simply missed the time I had to cover titles. I had to buy over half of the titles on the list here, I had forgotten it was on Gamepass and I have downloaded today. I will try to cover the title over the Christmas break to slot in as needed for an update as it has been a high request from comments, so thanks for all in commenting.

That said, I also totally forgot it is on Gamepass, and I use it often.

  • @HugoStiglitz88
    @HugoStiglitz88 5 років тому +9

    Honestly could not disagree more with the number 1. Rdr2 is one of the blurriest games I've ever played, and the only thing that's impressive is the atmosphere and weather effects. It's so blurry it makes the order look like an native 8k game. The textures and models are surpassed by a huge list of games, especially the character models which look like early gen games at times. It has good lighting but even that is surpassed by most of this list let alone past games like uncharted 4, GT sport, and the order
    Not to mention, the fake hdr thing is unforgivable. Not sure how you can call a game with such a severely half assed implementation of something as cutting edge and important as HDR as the most impressive technical showcase in a year with so many games that look so much better and have far less weaknesses

    • @CC42_
      @CC42_ 5 років тому +2

      the Fake HDR FALSE ADVERTISING of Red Dead 2 is one of the biggest gaming disappointments I've personally ever felt. Then, the fact that channels and gamers have let Rockstar off the hook on this is so further disheartening.
      They promised this technology on the damn BOX and then faked it to try to check off the box of having the latest technology in their hugely anticipated game.
      How NX could completely gloss over this and give Rockstar a pass is beyond me. He knows how much real HDR would improve the look of the game more than most people. He should also know that the version of the game he's reviewing (with Hdr turned ON), has raised black levels and he's still rating ot number one? The fake HDR causes the blacks to be grey which in turn washes out the picture. Black level is fundamental to contrast and how good an image is. This is a channel devoted to visuals ....
      Nx, we need people like you to actually call out companies that behave badly, not give them a seal of approval.

      @IcyRhythmsthereal 5 років тому +1

      There is more happening in RDR. The character models(while still very impressive)aren't as detailed as some of the other games because it's a massive world with tons of things happening at once. The compute power required for all that is simply just vastly more impressive than any other game on the list. I'd honestly have Far Cry 5 and AC higher on the list for those same reasons.

    Far cry 5 has a lot more going on than rdr2. The modern world esthetic in far cry 5 is far more complex and challenging to render than the world of Rdr2. HDR in rdr2 is a broken mess. Ps4 pro version of Rddr2 had a broken checkerboard rendering where the screen would go blurry time and time again. I guess they have fixed the issue. Rdr2 getting 1st place is a big joke. Rdr2 shooting mechanics are broken. It is laggy just like grand theft auto 5. Rockstar have simply copied and pasted those mechanics without even bothering to change it.
