On the portable front:
hitman absolution
That's a great example of adding detail for the sake of detail and it turning out absolutely terrible, artistically, and it landing quite deep in the uncanny valley.
Bioware have always been undefeated masters of texture work throughout the Mass Effect series. Remarkable PC ports they have done, especially when one considers the meagre budget the games have been developed on.
Amazing how much effort they have put into the PC versions indeed!
Too bad every texture below the chin of the characters looks like muddy shit.
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.
What game is this?
Uncharted 3, a game truly held back by 720p.

those be bullshots. You cannot actually see the game like that at 720p...
Definitely. Texture work in The Witcher 2 is impressive *even* by PC standards.Witcher 2 is probably the best texture work I've seen
Absolutely false.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.
Absolutely false.
The Source engine has a lot of shortcomings by today's standard, but image quality and the capability to handle good textures aren't really among them.
In fact, Portal 2 is stunning at times, despise how ancient is the tech behind it.
Really? From most distances, they look very sharp and clean. I suppose if you jam your face up against them they don't hold up as well as some other games, but still.Those textures are really blurry, even on the highest setting
It's a shame the game looks kind of janky in motion, though. :\Definitely. Texture work in The Witcher 2 is impressive *even* by PC standards.
That's just silly. You can still appreciate the texture work even if you decouple it from the lower quality video output of the real hardware.those be bullshots. You cannot actually see the game like that at 720p...
I mean if you are gonna post texture work for a console game... do not have upresed screenshots like the halo ones in the OP.

I'm going to have to disagree. Those models are too rounded. Unless the 3DS is performing tessellation those are not the actual models. They are renders.Resident Evil Revelations (character models):
The most impressive part is these models are the models used in-game. Handheld texture bliss.

While playing the game you can very clearly see the underlying geometry from which they were modeled. They DO look really good, but they are not that detailed.

Also there is a huge difference between detail textures and real textures...
Those are very different things. You can SEE geometry in the models while playing. Those models are completely smooth in comparison. Not the same.I don't think they are tessellated exactly, more like normal mapped.

EDIT: Here are some screens with environments (these are slightly above native rez):
Medal of Honor: Warfighter.
The Metroid Prime series has some great texture work.
Those Halo shots in the OP actually show a pretty low resolution texture that sits under a heavily tiled bump map that's being used as a sort of "detail map" like the ones you'd see in an early 2000s PC game.

Nice Emulator shots.
