Vote for the best game in terms of graphics! right here

hey,

This thread is for all the people that may not have enjoyed topnotch-graphics games lately and for anybody who is just looking for the best looking PC game out there.

Rules:
1- Please state the name of the game
2- screenshot
3- a comment would be helpful!

I will start off:

Assassin's Creed


really good game, nice storyline, nice graphics, easy controls!

 

We already have one of these threads and its only just barely a week old

Crysis wins of course hands down.

 

Best graphics, that's debatable, my favourite nicest looking game is Crysis. Sure it can't be played to it's full potential yet but it still looks the best... even if it is a slideshow.

i second crysis as well, playing it a 2560x1600 on my friends expensive rig is awesome.

 

Man...Crysis has better graphics than real life!

 

Bioshock and Unreal Tournament 3 also looks amazing, espeically when you play on a 1920x1200 display.

 

crysis ftw cant wait till call of duty 6 comes out

 

don't u mean 5 as it isn't even out yet.

 

in the year 2011, crysis can be played on veryhigh settings with a midrange card!

 

In terms of future games coming out, the trailers for both Mirror's Edge and Deadspace absolutely blow me away. They look so realistic.

 

thanks for your participation

sorry

 

Bioshock, COD4 and Colin McRae: DiRT. These games have great graphics as far as I'm concerned. I played them on Xbox 360. Haven't played Crysis jet but that's about to change soon.
As far as "coming soon" games are concerned I can't wait for Far Cry 2, Mafia 2 and BioShock 2.

 

I'm surprised that no one mentioned Age of Conan, it has to at least be in the top three of best graphics.

 

technically, crysis and assasin creed are still the best along with bioshock maybe but artistically, shadow of the colossus and okami on the ps2 are still the best.. ..

 

The 4850 is a "mid range card" and it plays crysis 1920x1080 very high no problems. thats what I have.

I actually have dual 4850's but crysis only uses one card....

 

Of course Crysis is the best, but I am surprised no on has mentioned Mass Effect yet, has great PC and Console graphics.

 

That thing (X360 version) had soo much bugs I stoped playeing it after one 1h!

 

Age of conan? really? That is one of the worst "graphically" games I have ever played in the last 2 years. It may be top notch for an MMORPG, but even the origional HL2 looks ALOT better.

I can't really say this yet.

There are just soo many great looking games. You've got GRID, which is an amazing looking racing game, then Crysis, which does play 1920x1080 with all very high settings (on XP x64) with very playable framerates averaging 30-35fps. And wouldn't my 8800GT 512mb OC'd card be considered "midrange" nowadays what with new cards like the GTX280, HD 4870 being the new high end.

Anyone who still thinks that Crysis isn't the best looking thing out there should pick up some custom maps, particulary some of the Desert style maps people have made on Crymod.com, some of them are simply AMAZING, and make you think your watching a CG movie.

We still have alot to look forward to, as someone else said, Mirror's edge, now that looks amazing. Mabe ressurrect this topic in mid 2009?

 

My vote goes to Mass Effect and Age of Conan. AoC will look even better when it becomes DX10 compatible.

 

Gears of War, Devil May Cry 4? Just naming a few that no one seems to have thought of... NFS Most Wanted look pretty nice too last time I played it.

Lego Indiana Jones anyone?

 

Midrange? please. the 8600GTS is midrange, the 4850 is considered a high end, since it owns many so called "High end" graphics card of this time.

 

4850 IS mid-range, 4870 is high-end.

Mirrors Edge will be out this November, so we'll see how this game stacks up aginst Crysis and such in terms of graphics.

 

pfft i'm im not talking about the freaking series numbers, i'm talking about raw performance.

and about Mirror's Edge, it loses badly VS Crysis, its gonna totally pale VS Crysis in terms of Graphics.

 

I've played the 360 version for 50+ hours and never had any troubles with bugs ... not even once.

 

for me crysis too is the best graphics, but for performance/graphics ratio, unreal tournament 3 wins for sure, its really well optimized, for many of us, play crysis full on in a laptop is almost imposible, i just seen crysis full-graphics on pictures, instead unreal tournament plays very well with better graphics.

 

Crysis, very high. Totally.

 

wish i could play that game on max settings

 

Crysis Warhead will be better then crysis interms of light so CW

 

3dmark vantage ;p

 

agreed
+rep :3

 

Oregon Trail probably is the greatest

 

I'm gonna pull out a curve ball and mention the God of War series for the PS2/PsP, the environments on those games are totally immersive and have a life all their own. Its amazing what the right team can acomplish with old decrepit hardware

 

I absolutely concur. Crysis has nothing on Oregon Trail.

 

Photorealistic environment doesn't necessarily mean great graphics. I consider the overall style of a game far more important than how highly defined textures are. Frankly, games like Monkey Island III are more visually appealing to me than Crysis because of their unique style.

 

DEvil may cry 4 !!

 

crysis lol. try it with the extreme settings mod and be amazed

 

well spoken. crysis has very high detailed textures and high poly count objects... and advanced lighting techniques and other post processing effects...

but really, the graphical experience is not the best... there are other things that make up "graphics" that crysis is not that great in...

like

animation.

call of duty 4 owns crysis in the animation dept.

still, crysis can produce some crazy high quality stills.

 

Am I the only one who loved/s the cel-shading style of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker?, Okami, etc.?

That, for me, is totally artistic, and immerse you into... just something else... you KNOW that you wont expect a gazillion-shaded mega spider dx10.1 thing, and that sort of calms you down, in terms of "you're not expecting anything zomggraphically z0mg-ish", you just settle for what you have, and be satisfied...

Cel shading is an amazing style..., not the "best" graphics, IF you bound yourself to the little box that good graphics > artitic style, but then again, for artistic styles you don't actually need cel shading, there are many games, like Phil and Iceman mentioned above...

IMHO, Artistic style > Graphics.
I want a game that submerges me into the game, not just "looking at the game" with crappy gameplay.

btw, no game has ever matched up to Oregon Trail.

 

with 50*50 resolution.. it sure does beat crysis
