I just want to be superficially in awe

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Knack

 

[LordGouda]

None so far.

 

[Darryl]

not even close

 

[Portugeezer]

Joakim

 

[Yawnier]

Graphically? A Crack in Time is up there, not quite exactly but damn that game looks good on the big screen.

 

[Sakujou]

no... i think even knack wont do it.

never felt any game which even could scratch any of these cgi-movies.

even anime games do not look like anime games.

closest is the naruto ultimate ninja storm series.

 

[Canis lupus]

Ratchet&Clank ACIT

 

[CrisKre]

Knack

Yeeeeahhhh..no.

I will say plant vs. Zombies for xbone looks good, and I also think the clean look in Mario Kart 8 is fantastic.

 

[RE_Player]

I'd say Knack.

 

[kazebyaka]

You mean pretty, but mediocre and boring?

 

[Mista Koo]

Even Pixar isn't always Pixar quality.

 

[Steve McQueen]

Nope. Nothing comes close.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

We aren't quite there yet in the technical sense, but there have been some games out there that in the artistic, visual sense beat out Pixar. BioShock Infinite maxed out for me is one of them.

 

[GoofsterStud]

Knack isn't a big title for Sony, so the fact that it's even mentioned says a lot.

I don't think we will see Pixar quality...

No matter what Pixar has the advantage...the chose the camera angle at all times...the add effects after to improve how it looks at that angle.

Can't do that in a game.

 

[JordanN]

Only a Pixar game.

But their actual movies have alot more finesse in both artstyle and tech than any video game to me.

Don't know any game that comes close to that, and that's from 2004.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

Knack

Pixar, not "DreamWorks".

 

[WoolyNinja]

I think Little Big Planet comes closest for me as all the characters look like they could be in an 3D animated movie - especially Sackboy.

 

[Acquiescence]

I'm gonna go with Knack :3

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

 

[zeldablue]

Mario Kart 8?

Yes? Yes??

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Yeeeeahhhh..no.

I will say plant vs. Zombies for xbone looks good, and I also think the clean look in Mario Kart 8 is fantastic.

Knack looks like a Pixar movie all the way through. That's what i'm getting at. The character models and everything is very Pixar-like.

 

[Yiazmat]

Nothing comes close.

 

[Persona7]

I don't like Pixar so I can not make that comparison. I don't even know what "Pixar quality" means.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

You mean pretty, but mediocre and boring?

Everybody look at this badass who's dissing Pixar!

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Pixar, not "DreamWorks".

Watch a Pixar movie and the look at Knack, watch the trailer itself and tell me it doesn't look like a Pixar-ish movie. If it wasn't a game, you might have thought it was. Only difference was, it didn't have disney under the name.

 

[LordGouda]

It does seem inspired by Pixar, but it doesn't have that IQ of a Pixar movie. Maybe the cutscenes, but that's probably all.

 

[WetPotatoBread]

You don't like Pixar ,you don't have a soul.

 

[Warm Machine]

Toy Story 1 sure has not aged well. Sits in stark contrast to 2 and an even larger jump to 3.

 

[DigitalOp]

Ratchet&Clank ACIT

.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

It does seem inspired by Pixar, but it doesn't have that IQ of a Pixar movie. Maybe the cutscenes, but that's probably all.

That's what I'm saying. Its a video game so at the end of the day, it won't utilize all the technology it takes to make a Pixar movie, but it's the closest thing to a Pixar-ish game. Quality wise, no game will ever come close....yet.

 

[Alo81]

Nothing comes close.

Would you mind sharing your source for where you got that image?

 

[Vashetti]

Ratchet&Clank ACIT

Came to say this.

 

[EGM1966]

Nope. Neither visually or otherwise. FYI Pixar quality to me means their best stuff rather than their few weaker films - i.e. The Incredibles, Toy Story, Ratatouille, finding Nemo, etc.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

No, it doesn't. Pixar movies have usually excellent art-style, which is something that Knack absolutely does not. If anything Ratchet and Clank looks more than a Pixar movie.

 

[Alphahawk]

What the fuck does "IQ of a Pixar movie mean"

Further more how can you tell the intelligence of a game that's not even out?

 

[Xav]

Everyone will laugh at me because it's not in HD but Super Mario Galaxy 1/2 gave me that Pixar vibe. Stunning animation, vibrant colourful worlds and that feeling of being a kid again where everything is so magical.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Knack is the closest we have got to a pixar movie visuals, though thats not very close lol.

 

[zeopower6]

Knack is probably the closest they've come. However, they were going for a Pixar-ish feel when they were making it anyway. There's about a full movie's worth of cutscenes in that game apparently.

 

[LordGouda]

No, it doesn't. Pixar movies have usually excellent art-style, which is something that Knack absolutely does not. If anything Ratchet and Clank looks more than a Pixar movie.

Isn't that just subjective?

Image Quality.

not sure if serious

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Toy Story 1 sure has not aged well. Sits in stark contrast to 2 and an even larger jump to 3.

Still has better fidelity than today's games

 

[zroid]

oh... you're talking about graphics, lol

I thought this was about appeal

 

[Wiz]

Super Mario Galaxy. Just imagine it in HD.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Sorry, but LOL

 

[SneakyStephan]

Maybe in 20 years, and then still not with the same image quality.

 

[Yiazmat]

[Alphahawk]

I would hold that Rare is the Pixar of gaming.

The question remains though, now that Rare's sold it's soul to Kinnect. Who is the Rare of gameing now?

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

ACiT is also very good:
