Uncharted has sections of brilliance, but I found it inconsistent. The church areas were no where near as awesome as the jungle or underground sections.
With that being said, the game looks phenomenal (although not as great as in those annoying tiny GIFs, let's face reality here), and is probably the game that made my jaw drop the most consistently.
With that being said, I prefer the overall visual presentation of a game like Metal Gear Solid 4, so that would get my vote, for what it's worth. Although Banjo: Nuts & Bolts deserves a mention, as does Dead Space, RE5, SMG and Assassin's Creed.

The problem with that is that Crysis never, ever, ever, ever looked anywhere near as good as that on my gaming rig (Q6600, 9800GTX+). Screenshots of the game on such a high settings really over sell what the game will look like for most people playing it, and also doesn't take in to account the performance.
The game still looks great on a mixture of high and very high and ~30FPS, it just isn't anything truely remarkable, I feel.
Not that the above is some breaking news flash or anything.

Wow are they Crysis bullshots? I've never seen it looking that good. How were some of those camera angles achieved in game?
This is the best I can have it look with a tweaked DX9 config. FPS an average ~25 I guess. I know crysis ticks all the boxs for tech but it's never really impressed me for some reason *shrug*

I honestly prefer looking at games like Uncharted, MGS4 or RE5 on the console side of things. I realise that technically KZ2 is a beast, and obviously looks better technically, but the overall presentation means a lot to me; I just prefer the direction those other games took.StateofMind said:
It comes down to the old graphic thread debate: are we talking about the most technically proficient, or are we talking about the ones that left the biggest impression on you?

holy crap!
If I wanted the game to run like that at Constant 30+ frames what kind of machine would i need? or is this some GT5 "photo mode" type garbage.

The game will not look that good in action, and if you fork out the cash in order to try and get it to look that good, you will have a serious case of buyers remorse upon playing the game. It's a good game, but not I need a new PC good.Kabuki Waq said:

Ok kinda over all the Crysis screens.
lol, why are these threads always a clusterfuck when it's so simple.
Technically, Crysis > all.
Below this benchmark resides games like Killzone 2, Gears 2, Uncharted, etc. All of these games (i.e. the best looking console games) are ALL subject to more or less the same bottlenecks. The best the 360 has to offer can be done on the PS3 and the best the PS3 has to offer can be done on the 360.

Prince of Persia has some great artistic merit, but I am not convinced on the technology as a whole - I mean there are barely any enemies in the game - and they're all triggered events.
I think GTA4 is probably the most impressive open world, large scale game out there. I don't care much for the game, but it's a pretty impressive feat taking into account the sheer size and seamless nature of the world, the multiplayer support, the physics and AI, and also how dynamic and universal the cover system is. Prince of Persia / AC don't even come close in the overall tech accomplishment in my opinion. If anything I guess Prince of Persia scores points for holding up its framerate the best - but it's a barren and much more controlled world compared to GTA and even Assassins Creed which are much more spontaneous and alive.

Man do I disagree. Art is in the eye of the beholder, but I've never looked at a Mario game and thought, now that is art. I look at Mario and think, that's fun, but looks like a kid cartoon. Again, that's my opinion and it's all in the eye of the beholder. If we're talking technically, then yeah, even mentioning Galaxy is pretty silly. I don't think the question was which game had the best art though, it was which game has the best graphics, which has traditionally been a technical reference.
My vote goes to Uncharted, with KZ2 in second, MGS4 in third, and Gears 2 in fourth.
Edit: I don't have a Crysis PC, so I can't comment on that. I'm sure it's better, but I'm console only, so that's all I'm talking about. Those shots higher up on this page are stunning, but if nobody can achieve them, then it doesn't really count.

Those who don't get it are just ignorant and not worth trying to convince.
Technically speaking, Crysis at max settings > anything else. It's fact.
Doesn't mean it's the best looking game though. Why? Because that's always subjective. Everyone has different tastes. But if we're speaking technically, there's no comparison.

This is the first time i've seen a screen from a game and honest-to-god thought it was real. I did a double take then noticed the soldiers.

Blizzard said:Way to quote ALL those images.
I'm not sure about those pictures, but Crysis does have some "review" or whatnot screenshot feature that takes a hugely scaled up picture to get high detail etc.
ugh man fuck that fake shit. I cant wait till game look like that and run with a stable frame rate.

Jesus Crysis indeed. Now if we could only get a tactical shooter a'la GR with visuals like that, and we're set.

When I have an open world MMO with Crysis graphics I'll be satisfied.
Bethesda should get started on one soon, so it will be done in time.

Fair enough, I can imagine it would be incredibly challenging given the DS hardware restrictions.
The argument I was trying to make (that apparently nearly everyone took out of context) is that while Crysis on a heavy gaming rig looks great, it's not a game that is limited by static hardware restrictions. As PC's keep getting better and better, Crysis will look better and better. Pushing a static hardware platform to achieve the same kind of lighting and post processing effects that Crysis has while still maintaining a constant framerate is more impressive to me, and KZ2 is the only game I've seen on consoles that deliverers a similar visual package.

Is it just me or are the same people who are trying to disqualify Crysis or put it in a different group the same people who do the same to the Wii with regards to sales? I guess if you keep arbitrarily narrowing down the choices then your game/platform will eventually be number 1. I mean, Bullet Witch is the best looking/selling game this generation, that came out on February 27th, 2007!
Anyway, what is considered the best custom config for Crysis in terms of a better look and possible improved performance?

I love Crysis but your really over selling it with alot of these screen shots that don't really give a true depiction of what the game will look like on 99% of peoples systems, or at least run at a playable frame rate looking like that, especially when it comes to using shots that come from mods.

My brother played on everything max and I never saw the game look that insane.
Are these from Crysis or the Warhead expansion?
Ah should have read the rest of the thread.

It isn't that difficult to have a good look as good as Crysis if you don't seek to make the game profitable by having it run o crazy hardware no one has.
Art direction is where you guys should give merit first. That's what ultimately makes all the difference in the world.
IMO the parts in Crysis that are impressive artistically are the parts inside the watery alien ship. That was really well done. The rest is good on a technical level, but artistically it doesn't do anything really.
Personally I feel no game has done a really good job this gen because they always fuck something up. I guess you can have screenshot wars, but to me I'll have to wait until I have a game that is artistically awesome, technically awesome, and gameplay awesome, so that together it can be a pretty much flawless awesome experience. That means great art direction, great lighting, great looking characters, great animations, and immersive gameplay.
Come on Trico, don't let me down!

I think Crysis definitely takes the technical crown but its shots like this that make me understand the graphics debate.

I took that shot for benchmarking purposes. I recognize it is an ugly shot. This is as bad as Crysis looks, which would be the equivalent to KZ2's corridor moments when there is nothing impressive to look at.BruceLeeRoy said:

DX10 all settings maxed out at 1080p with vsync on and it stays at 30 fps almost 100% of the time. If I drop it down to 720p I can get a solid 60. It does look exactly like that. Nothing fake about it. Hell I can get 4xAA with the 4870x2 with almost no performance hit too.

Crysis looks amazing and Killzone 2 is a beast. Uncharted is grand as well. I think this game deserves a good looking at as well since it definitely doesn't get enough love...

Killzone 2 is overrated. There are some high quality textures like gun models but overall it looks low res and grainy like CoD 4. It uses colors and other effects nicely so looks good. Uncharted looks better than Killzone 2.
Capcom's games are much more impressive lately. Also, I really really liked Prince of Persia and even AC 1. Pretty sure AC 2 will look goregeous. Crysis is fucking unbeatable probably until Rage arrives on PC.
