Red Dead Redemption 2 Awarded Best Virtual Photo Across 15 Games, It’s Gorgeous Indeed

The London Game Festival, which was held from April 1 to 10, 2022, ended yesterday with the awarding of the prize for the best virtual photo taken in-game. A competition launched at the same time as the event and whose photos were exhibited in Trafalgar Square, London. If anyone could contemplate the virtual photographs and give their opinion aloud (or on social networks), it is indeed a jury made up of The Fourth Focus team, a website specializing in virtual photography, which was responsible for electing the most beautiful screenshot among those who were in competition. Note that the retouching was accepted by the jury to highlight each shot. Fifteen games were in the running and among them were The Last of Us 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Ghostwire Tokyo, Horizon Forbidden West, NiER Automata, Control, Ghost of Tsushima, Hellblade, Outriders, Gran Turismo 7, Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, The Division 2 and finally Red Dead Redemption 2.

It was the Rockstar Games game that caught the eye of the jury, especially for this simple shot where we can see Arthur Morgan (or John Marston, who knows) on his horse contemplating Monument Valley , arguably the landscape that best represents the American West. The author of the photo is called Joe Meizies and he leaves with the latest model of the Razer Blade laptop. It is true that among the shots offered, that of Joe Meizies – Red Dead Redemption 2 is by far the most successful, even if the photos of Gran Turismo 7 and Ghost of Tsushima would also have deserved a prize. But as everyone knows, there is only one winner. For fun, here are all the photos that were in competition.
