Comparing the countryside

In this set of images, I am looking at the countryside from different games and seeing how they compare. All the images are taken from in game and I have not altered them other than the image size.

They definately show one thing, computer games today are capable of rendering high detail without impacting the frame rates… a point I think that is often missed by most gamers today. These images are not just showing the trees but also the undergrowth, the sky, water and the lighting games today are capable of.

Long time gamer (Doom 1993 and Myst 1993 among the first PC games) I have never lost the interest or the desire to explore landscapes (Skyrim, Dying Light) and craft (Minecraft, No Man's Sky) my way through worlds of different kinds. Even build homes in these landscapes (Fallout 4, No Man's Sky). In recent years games and consoles have allowed players to take photos and video of their game play. This has allowed me to use these in game/console tricks to take photos of bizarre and strange new landscapes and share the wonderful with the world. Kind regards... AI
