The best 4K games you've played?

davewhite04 · 2 Sep 2015 at 11:17

Just started gaming in 4K and decided to start completing some games, the so called classics, on my 4K setup. The game that has impressed me the most is Tomb Raider, it looks amazing even better then some current games.

Has any of the older games amazed you in particular in 4K?

I'm playing Batman - Arkam Asylum after this, but having played the start of it, it hasn't really done anything for me graphically, so I'm interested to see what other games look amazing, sort of 1+ year old.

Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain

Looks incredible.

It does, got that, but it's a new release, got a load of other games plus can get some cheap games before I get to that. I think Tomb Raider is actually just as good, have you tried it?

Project Cars, Assetto Corsa and the newly released Mad Max for me. PCars+Storm=heaven.

Excellent, I own that, I'll get it installed and do some Go Karting

EDIT: Mad Max is in my to do list, played it this morning and I really enjoyed the beginning.

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter (best looking game I've seen)
Crysis 3
Metro 2033 & Last Light
The Talos Principle

That's an interesting list. Got Ethan Carter, that looked great at 1080P! Just cannot get into it. Crysis 3 is amazing, forgot about that, tried it and it's on my list. The oil rig at the beginning with the storm is unbelievable. I have Metro 2033 Redux, I had a feeling that that would be amazing, thanks for the heads up. Never heard of the Talos Principle, gonna look into that...

Batman Arkham Knight
Mad Max
MGSV
Alien Isolation
RYSE

Most games made before 2013-14 looks a little ropey texture wise upscaled to 4K.

Alien Isolation, oh how I didn't like it, but I think I might try it again, not scared of the Alien, I'm scared of the difficulty! Might get RYSE if it's cheap, got sort of into it on the X1.

Not sure when Tomb Raider came out, but maybe this is the "Revised" version for the next gen console hence the "Ultimate" setting which is above Ultra. It sounds like all/most ports from the next gen consoles are the ones to investigate the most. But PC Only games, I'm sure there must be more gems...

Haven't played any 4K games but the best game by 2K i've played is probably borderlands

RYSE is the only game that's advertised with 4K support that I've seen. Will look for the best price(£15 cdkeys so far)

RYSE does look great in 4K but its a very uninteresting and fairly boring game IMHO.

I wonder what Dark Souls 2 looks like.
I ran it with DSR and it looked pretty nice.

VincentHanna · 2 Sep 2015 at 12:17

Dark souls 2 is not the best example of 4k

Devrij · 2 Sep 2015 at 12:18

Trine 2 and 3 look stunning in 4k (even better in 3d, as they have normal TV 3d support as well as proprietary 3d support).

Witcher 3 would also look amazing if your rig can handle it. Maybe bf4? Single player was especially pretty.

Like mentioned it isn't fantastic, but still good, I love the game(even though I've played it to death) and have the "next gen" version, Scholar of the First Sin.

Lords of the fallen looks good at 4k, Far cry 4, Max Payne 3 and Shadow of Mordor do also.

I've thought about Trine 2, it really is a lovely game, sound, mechanics, characters, puzzles I just can't get into it. But maybe 4K will draw me into it a bit more, if it does till completion I'll look at 3. Witcher 3 didn't look as impressive as I thought it would or even shoul, my rig runs it pretty well, g-sync makes up for lack of GPU power in all cases.

BF4! Another game I've got and WANT to complete, I've got to the Ship part, after saving the Chinese people, will certainly play that, thanks for the reminder. The latest Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is pretty awesome, I had terrible tearing in cut scenes before G-Sync so it was one of the first games I tried, tearing gone and single player looks a blast, got a canny way through it so will go back to it at some stage. FPS isn't my favourite genre, will probably start with Crysis 3 in that department.

Got all those. Farcry 4 is on my to do list(tried it and it does look awesome), Lords of the Fallen, I couldn't beat the second boss with the shield, just couldn't figure it, but will install it to have a look. Max Payne 3, never completed that, surprised it stands out in 4K... will give it a go. Shadow of Mordor just can't get into, it was mainly the depressing surroundings and pretty difficult combat at the beginning that put me off, if 4K improves things maybe I'll get into it. Added to list in anyway.

So I have about 10 games to do so far, that's on average about 350-400 hours! that's 6 months before I touch Metal Gear or Mad Max, but I want to play these older games, I do not want to miss out playing past classics, or games that are fantastic in 4K.

Can't believe how good Tomb Raider is, just incredible, made for 4K. If you guys haven't tried it, I highly recommend it.
