The first Iceland level in Resistance 2.
Skyrim - Riften (lake outside)
In terms of fall settings with changing colors of leaves and whatnot I don't think there's a better example of the season in Skyrim than the area outside Riften, unless there's an area I haven't explored yet (only found 200 of the supposed 350+ locations)
Instead of creating a new environment thread on these boards, I decided to spare the fine denizens of tnl and update an old one.
Anyway, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter times one thousand billion. This game is a beauty.
If anyone else has additions, love to hear em.
Ethan Carter really is a beautiful looking game.
The Witcher 3 has been awing me on a regular basis. There have been dozens of times I've crested a hill and paused to take in the view of the valleys, villages, rivers and lakes below, especially at dawn/dusk.
Everything in Dustforce. Pretty minimalism.
Flashback: the Jungles of Titan (first level)
Anything in the Bioshock trilogy
All of Journey. All of it.
Great call on Witcher 3. The vistas are unbelievable. I think the lighting is best at dawn, especially around White Orchard and Velen. I actually played the majority of the game between the hours of 5-6 AM in game time, simply because of that lighting. Whenever I remembered to, I'd reset the clock to 5 AM.Quote:

Cyber-Lip (NG): Fighting Terminator clones in a post-apocalyptic ruined NYC in the first stage, with even the Statue of Liberty tasting the enemy's wrath.
Strider 2 (arcade/PS): The high society area of Hong Kong, a downtown scene with flying vehicles that you fight on top of as skyscrapers zip by in the background.
Absolutely Witcher 3. It has been a long time since I just stopped to look around and check out how amazing the design of
a game world is. One of the most impresssive achievements in game design ever IMO.

Bioshock Infinite before the shooting starts.
