Why are people complaining about PS4 exclusives being highly represented? It's not DF's fault that Sony's first and second party developers poured more artistry and technical genius to squeeze the most out of their boxes. But that doesn't mean the video as a whole was unfair to other devs or publishers. The final three choices are a PC iteration of a game, an XBox One X iteration of another, and 1 PS4 exclusive. They even had a section in the video that gave praise to Switch for some ports that went beyond what was expected and got the most out of the tech Nintendo's little box could give. Seemed like a fairly unbiased review of the year in visual tech all around.

Wow, you guys are really something else. You've made me feel proud while discussing the spectacular state of graphics that we have today. This year we've been really caught up in scandal after scandal involving big companies like Bethesda games studio, EA and Blizzard. So much that it makes you lose track of the important stuff, the improvements that are happening along the way. Way to put a positive spin on things. Merry Christmas.

If anything, the audience/consumer is the most important aspect. I'd argue the specifics of those "scandals" are just extremely important to fixate on because they are aggressively detrimental to the most amazing technological _art form_ humanity has ever experienced - *especially* when companies expect low quality products to sell at high prices so they can cash in on stealth price gouging monetization. Every industry that is taken seriously - especially artistic - has its target for which uncompromising high quality is produced or served (culinary, music/symphony, theater, clothing, etc ) and the gaming art form is mature enough to have results on par with the best art in the world. Enthusiasts holding companies to near impossible standards only makes for better quality (something I learned in the military). Aiming high should be attempted without exception. The industry already crashed once due to being inundated with low quality at high prices - from which Nintendo, Sega, and arcade games pulled us out. It's the largest, most lucrative industry we have ever seen and has several spanning markets, not just one anymore: hard core gameplay seekers, graphics junkies like us here, casuals like on Twitch, soccer moms on the go, etc. It has many moving parts, none of which are are more _important_ than others imo - that is except for the audience.

The only reason why there's so much negativity is because most of the KZreadrs make things seems worse than it really is. These KZreadrs know that people love drama, to get more views on their Channel they spread more hate. They're no different from cnn, fox, and all the other corporate news channels. There are so much positivity in video games lately, but KZreadrs don't like to talk about positivity because that's not what makes them money, they make more money talking about bad things.

'Distant Object Detail' technology in Red Dead 2 is the best I've seen yet. Also impressive is the minimal LOD pop-in and the way in which it portrays lights for distant objects such as towns and cities and campsites, even down to volumetric glow light scattering above the immediate areas. I only have a GeForce 1070 so there's no raytracing tech to help out and although I don't know how they managed to fake it so realistically, I really appreciate this attention to detail.

Going to give it to Red Dead Redemption 2. I have been gaming since myst on windows 95 and 98. I currently play on Xbox one X, I would have to say that RDR2 was by far the most moving game I have played in my years of gaming. Gave me the adventure and pull of my favorite books and my favorite tv series and I was hooked. I think the voice acting and animations took the cake, but the environment was spectacular as well. Kudos rockstar for such a well polished title.
What an amazing year for DF and for us gamers as well! Thanks for all the professional work you’ve done this year and keep the great game analysis coming! Happy new year to the whole team! 🍾🎉

Spider-Man feel was so awesome. GoW takes the cake for me tho...
After 25+ years of playing on PC only, you guys have actually convinced me to get my hands on a PS4 Pro just to play the exclusives. Boy oh boy, I did not regret it. Games played so far: Uncharted 4 Gran Turismo Sport The Last of Us Remastered The Order 1886 Horizon Zero Dawn Detroit: Become Human ... Of course a modern gaming PC is way more powerful, yes it's just 30fps at times, yes it's mostly checkerboarded 4k. But guess what. Once you get used to it, it's just an incredible experience.
Thank you for a great recap of the year 2018! I always enjoy watching your videos and I can't wait for what awesome videos you bring in 2019. Cheers!
Don't forget that Rockstar treat their dev like workhorses, I hope they got a big bonus for that

Hey guys, great video but hot tip: when there's a couple of you on camera talking at once, it's better to have you facing each other a bit more. When you're all straight at the camera, It's kind of awkward for the two staring into the camera while the third guy talks. If you're more angled, you can look at each other and it's less awkward. Maybe for next time.

I guess it makes sense, since it's mainly focused on graphics, but I think BO4 should get an honorable mention for getting Blackout to run as well as it does on the COD engine, which previously only had to handle a Max of ~18 people, jumping up to 80 in the beta and now 100.
people complain how these consoles are old hardware, but these games you talk about are the most impressive looking.
Rockstar game design isn't outdated. What they do is something no other writer/developer would attempt to do. Blending narrative with player choice isn't easy when they have to give you freedom as well

Player choice is the last thing you’d see in RDR2.
My game ofhe year is Spiderman. It looks great even on my Standard ps4. Also have a Xbox One S but have not top game of the year 2018. But played some older games on it. The best looking game I could try out was the Master Chief Collection.I am really impressed how well These old Halo look on the Standard Xbox. Thanks to DF though I am really tempted to get the One X as soon as possible. I am not that interested that much in the pro though. The Ps4 Basic model is good enough for me.

When you choose to only have one mic active at a time, it really sounds like someone "off cam" is commenting, rather than just letting the other 2 people comment on what's being said. Just a small critique on the discussion. But otherwise a great video with some real interesting graphics talk! Now i'm gonna have to give Spider Man a try :D
31:15 Truer words have never been gesprochen! Most texture mods feel like HD stickers. They just don't fit the environment at all.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider look amazing on the Xbox One X as well

It does, but it is 30fps at 4k high, compared to an absolute top end pc doing 60fps at 4k ultra. And this game benefits from 60fps, whereas not all games really care.

Ricco123tube yep but from a technical standpoint I am not sure... the reflections are quite bad and watching them closely reveals just how nonsensical they are, NPCs look terrible and textures are really flat if compared to actual top titles like gow, rdr2 or bfV. That being said, spideys character Modell and the water are top notch
12:14 Yeah. DICE certainly isn't afraid to push PC. That's for damn sure. Whether gamers want to hear it or not
Hunt Showdown is a seriously underrated game but its a difficult game to run where i have to put a lot of settings on low where I can play on high on other games.

I watched your videos all the time, but from time to time I skipped the comments. Actually most of the time I skip the comments, only because the comments are full of ignorant fanboys, on all sides. If you're a true gamer you can respect all platforms..
Good call on the inclusion of OnRush and Forza Horizon 4. Onrush was criminally overlooked and FH4 written off as a "just the next installment" update but both do some amazing things. Hard to argue against your top 3 though. Great video, cheers!
One thing I will say about the comparison of RDR 2 to GTA V is: GTA V came out at the tail end of the PS3 lifecycle. Then it released on PS4 pretty much almost immediately after the release of the PS4. Now, I think a huge mistake/missed opportunity on Rockstars part is by not having GTA V capitalize on the power of the PS4 as far as the PS4's updated rendering techniques/effects (Ex. more realistic facial scans, Godrays, more particle/smoke effects as far as sparks/embers popping out of an explosion and thick black smoke.) And instead of them releasing a remastered version of GTA V on PS4, they basically just ported the PS3 version of GTA V over to the PS4.
