Uncharted 4 overall, especially animation wise. RDR for the general lighting and world, and Horizon for beautiful HDR effects.

Your personal pick for best looking game of the generation?

Hmm, I didn't find it blurry, really. I thought the varied environments really showcased the game well, too.
I think RDR2 is a massive technical achievement, and looks damn amazing with its emphasis on realism, but I prefer God of War more due to its absolutely stellar art direction. So overall, I'd give it to God of War.
Honorable mentions to Hollow Knight, Bloodborne, and Shadow of the Colossus.

Ratchet and Clank looks amazing and I am legit surprised that I am the first one to mention it.
Poor kid didn't only fall into a cave, but also into the uncanny valley.
Red Dead Redemption 2.
I was standing on the cliff overlooking the starting area when the skies suddenly turned real dark. It was still late day, so you could tell the sun was up with the way the dark clouds interacted with the sunlight.
Suddenly, the clouds started breaking up way in the distance and sunlight poured in through the opening and lit the area below it. It had to have been several kilometers away. I have never seen anything even remotely like that in any game ever, even linear titles. It was truly spectacular.
Another time I was hunting near the eastern part of the map. It was in the afternoon and barely stopped raining, but everything about the lighting, fog, and shaders seriously made my brain think it smelled the outdoors after it had just rained. Insane experience.

Because as the OP says "What is your personal pick for best looking game of the generation?" "This can be purely artistical, technical or a mixture of the two." Always read the OP before commenting. I bolded the most relevant bits.
Astro Bot. It's the first time I've been wowed this much by a game visually in at least 20 years. My jaw literally dropped as the game started up.
Why are people ignoring Final Fantasy XV? I know shitting on it is considered cool around here, but you can't deny that it's really pretty, especially on PC.
For me -
Horizon Zero Dawn for open world games. God of War for wide linear games. Uncharted: Lost Legacy for linear games.

Horizon Zero Dawn, playing through the game I was consistently blown away by what I was seeing.
Honorable mention goes to Until Dawn: Rush of Blood. Considering the constraints VR puts on overall graphical fidelity, it's a fantastic looking game.

It's Horizon. Whole thing looks like moving concept art.
As for 2D games, it's still Muramasa.
I'd pay an appropriate amount of money for a remaster.

It does! Only got to see very little so far on high end PC while visiting a friend, but I was already very impressed.

Horizon Zero Dawn. I have never seen graphics like that before. It felt like something from a future generation.
Where the FUCK is the Switch port for Muramasa, Odinsphere, and Dragon's Crown? I'm so ready to revisit those and the Switch's huge screen would be amazing after the Vita.It's Horizon. Whole thing looks like moving concept art.

TAA of Rockstar is very aggressive on the X too to be pedantic. But say blurry is a bit too much.
I think REmake 2 has the best gore graphics. It definitely has the best bowels I've seen in any game.Resident Evil 2.

Muramasa is a Wii game from 2009. The Vita version is the remaster.
There are some really beautiful games that have released this gen and funnily enough the best looking ones (imo) are pretty much all console exclusives.
If I had to pick one it would be RDR2 because of the scale of the game and the consistent quality throughout. There have been smaller but equally as beautiful games though such as GoW, HZD and Quantum Break.

Personally I find RDR2 very overrated. Not to saying is not a beauty but it's more a smart uses of the possible graphic tech available than a true tech showcase.
RDR 2. The lighting, the dynamic weather, draw distance is the best i've ever seen. All of that running on a base PS4 its a miracle. Cant wait for the next gen version.
Uncharted 4 or Gran Turismo Sport.
Yeah I don't get it. Fairly ugly game that doesn't have the ability to achieve its own vision.
If we are going on pure style, Persona 5, everything in there just ooze style. Technically its more complicated, maybe GoW or RE2? There is more of a debate
The more time passes the more I keep going back to thinking Robo Recall is the best looking game these days. VR just leaves a whole other impression, and the style of Robo Recall really adds a lot.
I think Xing maxed out is technically better. Basically looks like Crysis in VR, but RR has so much style.
Uncharted 4, Metro Exodus with RTX all look great, but don't leave me with the same lasting feeling of graphics saturation.

It's still the best looking game and I want a 4K remaster with all the bells and whistles. Or, ideally, a Odin Sphere Leifthrasir (sp?) treatment.
Besides, Genroku Legends pretty much counts as a new game.
They dont look so bad in stills. But theres something off with the animation. And Aloy's father figure's beard looked strange to me.Fugly?
