Simple enough, what games excel in their texture work? Since I don't have access to a capture card, I used Reach as an example here. Look at the how much detail is retained while zooming in all the way the sniper rifle. Pretty impressive stuff IMO.

One more.

God, I love texturezillas! My new favorite thread :3 Roll'em in!

:lol surely you weren't going to use Halo 4.

Is that a texture or a material?

Oh cool, another PC superiority thread

[soultron]

I've not played it yet, but from what I've seen, Hitman Absolution had some nice looking texture work.

Final Fantasy XII on PCSX2. Sublime.

Subscribed. Love threads like these.

I think he's just being prescient, because that's exactly what this thread will turn into when Dennis arrives. :p

I know you're about to post Dark Souls pictures :p Just get it over with!

Skyrim has some pretty great textures. Especially with mods.

[peronmls]

Half life 2. I think they actual use pictures as textures. Like the motherboard in the computer.

[Felix Lighter]

I wish I was at home so I could get some screenshots but Witcher 2 has some of the most impressive and consistent textures I've ever seen.

Perfect Dark: Zero

When I got my 360 at launch and bought this game the week after I was gob smacked.

I knew that a new generation had arrived. Such a warm, fuzzy feeling.

Skyrim's textures are suck. They don't react well to lighting and the level of detail doesn't seem to make the game look any better. There is something very wrong about Skyrim's graphics.

That game is still next-gen, I don't think any game this gen aside from itself has hit that level of detail.

[sn00zer]

Pretty much all first party PS3 games...sony santa monica comes in with their black magic

Yep, in terms of quality and art this game's textures are amazing.

[Corky]

Heh well for what it's worth I think there are some great textures in games that are exclusive to consoles.

I know you're about to post Dark Souls pictures :p Just get it over with!

I don't have any right now :'( , besides the screens I saved were 120 mb each lol. Keeping on track, I've never seen a game have as detailed modeled and well textured weapons as crysis 2 :

Portal 2 has some nice texture work, such as the sterile ApSci panels:



(I couldn't find a decent screenshot with the clean ones, so this one I posted in last year's high-res thread will have to do.)

[Bombadil]

Perfect Dark Zero

[Leona Lewis]

Resonance of Fate's textures and geometry still impresses me to this day.

[Persona7]

(Perfect Dark Zero) I had a bunch of direct capture screenshots saved somewhere but I can't find them.

Dat Parallax Mapping

[digita1alchemy]

Back in the day the textures in the original Phantasy Star Online blew me away on Dreamcast:

[sniperpon]

Not a great capture, but you get the idea:

[Vulcano's assistant]

ART > texture resolution

Monster Hunster is king when texturing reptiles:

[Lime]

Witcher 2 is probably the best texture work I've seen

[Sean]

For all the hate it gets, Perfect Dark Zero had some great texture work in spots

[Yoshichan]

Sleeping Dogs w/ HD textures

Something with this picture looks weird...

[Dennis]

[KoruptData]

On my phone but im really impressed with Max Payne 3 on the PC. Especially Maxs wardrobe.

[The Janitor]

Crysis

[NinjaBoiX]

Nobody posted Gears of War yet? Even the first one still holds up. Textures were always Gears's main strength.

[Yoshichan]

One thing about the Witcher 2 that I didn't get was the texture-work on Gerrard... it's not really "the best thing ever". Is it hard to do skin and flesh compared to rocks and trees?

It's a weak spot but luckily he's dressed in beautifully rendered armor 90% of time.

[Gentleman Jack]

Silent Hill games still impress with their texture work all these years later.

[IceDoesntHelp]

No, no no. Portal 2 has awful texture work...if you ask me of course. Lovely art, but awful texture work. The source engine is dead.

[sublimit]

Valkyrie Profile 2 had some pretty great textures for its time.

[Visualante2]

While grime this generation has been very overdone. I think the Silent Hill games are generally a masterclass in effective texturing. Some say half the job of texturing is lighting them to look decent and I think I agree.

Wish I had the patience to do it decently myself.
