Star Wars Battlefront 2
The first Star Wars Battlefront might have ruffled a few feathers due to a lack of single-player content and the absence of space battles, but its beauty was certainly not in question. Running at a gorgeous 60 fps, the Frostbite engine rendered beautiful replications of iconic maps such as Hoth. In the midst of some of Battlefront’s most heated battles, graphical nuances such as the explosion effects, reflections off the ice, and blaster shots zipping past, it’s hard to think of a prettier FPS experience on console.
The recently announced Star Wars Battlefront 2 takes that stunning aesthetic and fleshes the experience out by adding the missing content that was such a sore spot for fans. We’re getting a full single player campaign and space battles return! We can’t wait to see the Frostbite engine in dynamic cut-scenes to bring to life characters from our favorite intergalactic franchise. The tiny lights on the surface of the Death Star, moss on rocks, and even the way light reflects off the armor of a Storm Trooper. It all looks better than ever in the reveal trailer.
Plus, there is the prospect of the epic space battles, both in frenetic multiplayer action and potentially in the form of spectacular set pieces in the single-player campaign.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
Uncharted 4’s standalone expansion, The Lost Legacy, is surely destined to become the prettiest game on PS4. Using the same code as the base game, The Lost Legacy was always going to at least equal Uncharted 4, but this time a PS4 Pro patch won’t be an afterthought. Indeed, we already know the stunning gameplay reveal trailer at E3 was running on PS4 Pro hardware.
Expect smoother framerates, sharper textures, and even more of that incredible motion capture detail that the series has become a leader in. It’s not just the motion capture and character models, though. Take a look at the insane amount of detail on that amulet in Chloe’s hands. The Lost Legacy is shaping up to be another stunning title from Naughty Dog.
