For many years that I can remember PC games would consistently top graphics lists, and even on message boards it was seem as the general consensus. For instance when Half Life 2, Doom 3 and Far Cry came out in 2004, nothing on the consoles look close, the same with Crysis in 2007, PC was always way ahead. The last few years or so though have consistently been Sony exclusive games like Uncharted, Horizon, The Order that have been seen as the games with best graphics. Though those games are limited by things like 30 FPS, shadow resolution and blurry TAA techniques, the overall package is seen as superior to anything on PC by many. While PC can have limitless resolution and FPS, and much higher draw distances, shadow resolution, something like The Witcher 3 or Assassins Creed Origins is still not considered better looking then those Sony Exclusive games by many, even though you can run PC games at much higher resolutions, framerates and overall fidelity,but if the assets and artistic direction aren't as impressive as those games on much less powerful machines, is that power going to waste?
