McPhee Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Team Fortress 2 I'd say it's the pinnacle so far. It's simply stunning, the textures and character models are flaw-less and the animations are so full of life. They need to make more games that look like this because you can't pick holes in it like you can with "realistic" looking games.
McMad Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Since this thread has gone down the 'best art-design' route instead of best graphics I'll post these few: (people have already mentioned some of my other favourites) [spoiler=] [spoiler=] [spoiler=] [spoiler=]
Hellfire Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 I have a newfound respect for you McMad ^^ Good choices. It's not just art design, it's game that look good. They don't need to be next gen to look good. For example. Majora's Mask. One of the best in game locations I've seen, still looks fantastic. Admitedly this one is more because of the feelings they evoke, but that's what graphics are for. Aaaand:
Chuck Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Got to agree with these. Whilst games like Gears of War look gorgeous at the time, the fact that they're aiming for realism on the current generation of consoles means they'll end up bettered eventually (and it's beginning to happen already). Cel-shaded titles, especially Wind Waker, maintain their beautiful visual style and still manage to look amazing even today. No. Just No.
spirited away Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 No. Just No. I get what he's coming at, but GOW has it's own distinct, moody, atrisitic visual style as well. You don't need lots of colour to make visuals atristic...
Cube Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 I get what he's coming at, but GOW has it's own distinct, moody, atrisitic visual style as well. You don't need lots of colour to make visuals atristic... I think I would have like the graphics a lot more if they had just made the blood brighter.
spirited away Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 I think I would have like the graphics a lot more if they had just made the blood brighter. Maybe in GOW2? GOW will look even better soon!
ReZourceman Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Eye poppingly good: Agreed/ The honey levels are more visually satisfying than an all femal orgy.
Hellfire Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 I hate UE3, so I can't say I really like GoW's graphics, except for the tunnels which were somewhat nice in some sections.
Guest Stefkov Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I know I've already posted it but I can't get enough of Eternal Sonata.
Marshmellow Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Eternal Sonata in full 1080p is probably one of the most beautiful looking games I have ever seen.
CoolFunkMan Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Team Fortress 2 I'd say it's the pinnacle so far. It's simply stunning, the textures and character models are flaw-less and the animations are so full of life. They need to make more games that look like this because you can't pick holes in it like you can with "realistic" looking games. Seconded! It looks brilliant. The characters, level design and overall style = AWESOME! And I like the style of Tales of Symphonia too. ^^
Solo Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I just hope it still impresses when it's finally released.
Fandango Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Looks stunningly beautiful even now, never knew the Gamecube could be pushed so hard. LOTR Online is a great looker aswell, probably the best looking MMO there is.
Coolness Bears Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 PONG! hands down! Maybe not now but for it's time it was amazing
That Guy Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I just hope it still impresses when it's finally released. God that looks cool.
The fish Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 How to do simple, 2D games when you have 3 CPU cores to work with: Gotta' love Geometry Wars.
Hellfire Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I got some awesome LOTRO screenshots I took while playing and the graphics aren't even on maximum. I'll upload them when I feel like it :P
