Lol wut? That makes no sense to me at all considering I've played the game on both.

it is just my opinion

i play a lot of games too and i have not met a game yet that i can say is beautiful,there has been many games with great atmosphere but beautiful,gorgeous,stunning.... NOT A SINGLE GAME ! beauty is in the small details and small details in games are horrible.

it is just my opinion

Dirt 2, Crysis, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat, StarCraft 2, Metro 2033, Forza 3, and of course the best looking game ever, Big Rigs Over The Road Racing.

Yeah stunning, it's the physics and AI which makes this game shine though. :laugh:

Amen to Dirt 2. Modded Oblivion and the NeverWinter series look great, I just couldn't run them on ultra without WC. My old 8800 gts would tip 90c and my rig would raise my room temp..

The driver in the first pic looks like the Stig and the second picture either has bad lighting or there is no driver lol.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Metro are fantastic, i cant believe people are saying Bioshock 1 and 2 when those games are clearly superior.

Crysis Warhead still is one of the best looking games, Far Cry 2 was nice but its a terrible game :shadedshu

I`m still battled how they are getting that amount of detail from machine that has total of 512mb of memory GPU and RAM.

Trine on PC and Uncharted 2 on the PS3.

Easo · Aug 15, 2010

FPS - Crysis obviously, imho MW2 (cause its looks realistic), GTA IV
Strategy - SC II
Driving - NFS Shift, DIRT 2

LAN_deRf_HA · Aug 15, 2010

GTA IV + enb

wahdangun · Aug 15, 2010

Have you seen Metro 2033 at its highest settings its amazing.

Soylent Joe · Aug 15, 2010

It's not very realistic, but Mirror's Edge is the most beautiful game I've ever played.

Frizz · Aug 15, 2010

While Metro 2033 does have the next generation effects, the sound unfortunately is still horrible which spoils the graphics to compare itself with Stalker.

My vote for FPS is Crysis since its an all arounder despite the fact a few areas are unoptimized.

arma 2, straight sexiness

Agreed. The game is just visual candy with it all cranked up.

This is a beauiful game. I have played it twice through. :toast:

guitarfreaknation · Aug 15, 2010

For me, Crysis w/ CCC Mod, Just Cause 2, GTA4, Dirt 2, Metro, Dragon Age, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. w/ complete mod also Clear Sky /w complete mod and Call Of Pripyat with smarter and atmosfear mod.

Sorry for long post.

Snap, Ford Fiesta

After looking at the screenshot I thought hmm, that doesn't look half bad for a console using hardware that's almost 5 years old

kurosagi01 · Aug 15, 2010

For me has to be Crysis,Battlefield Bad Company 2,Mirrors Edge,Fear 2 looks good too and Mass Effect 1 and 2.

Lionheart · Aug 15, 2010

Ok, everyone has pretty much mentioned the titles that I was going to jot down, but here's my list anyways :rockout:

Metro 2033 (PC of course)
Battlefield Bad Company 2
Starcraft II
Farcry 2 (PC FTW)
Mass Effect 2 (PC FTW)
HL2 with CM10
Uncharted 2 Among Thieves
FFXIII (PS3 Version)
Killzone 2
God Of War 3
MGS4 Guns Of The Patriots

I guess thats my list for now :toast:

PS. That is not in order & crysis can go suk my ballz :rockout:

see what proper optimisation can do? it shits me to tears that devs put far more time and effort into console games rather than the technologically far superior PC's....

1nf3rn0x · Aug 15, 2010

Imho Crysis/Warhead looks the best. I might say that the game is a bit unoptimized, but we can still max it anyway, so there is no reason to complain.

Arma 2 is great at its highest settings especially in Takistan but it lags worse than crysis.
