Gears of War 3.
Absolutely not. GTA V put in the shame everthing this generation. Especially Max Payne 3. The scale of the game, the texture... I don't see what has exactly of special Max Payne compared to GTA V or any other game.

Mirror's Edge

Mirror's Edge isn't on Frostbite. Maybe you should do a little research next time?
The Last of Us.
Anything else is just the wrong answer

TLOU is surely beautiful but the amount of jaggies for the low buffer or AF filter ruins completely this game.

Pure visual tech: The Last of Us, followed by Beyond: Two Souls
General Accomplishment: Uncharted 2 (or 3), with the 360 version of The Witcher 2 close behind. TLOU falls a bit short here because of performance (framerate). Uncharted 2 looks phenomenal AND runs smoothly at all times.

GTA 5 is pretty high up in terms of overall looks as I'm absolutely amazed at the detail every time I cruise around Los Santos and surrounding areas...
Beyond Two Souls might have it beat but then again it's a very linear/contained game and also they letterbox the top and bottom.
Last of Us looks pretty good but good portions of the story cinematics in the game are pre-rendered videos
Personally I think there can't be ONE BEST looking game as games can been the best looking for different reasons (GTA5 = amazingly detailed open world, Beyond 2 Souls = amazingly detailed adventure story game)

I didn't have any jaggies in TLOU. I even noticed how clean it was with no jaggies and all.

I think my vote goes to Uncharted 2 and the 360 version of Red Dead Redemption. GTA5 is doing more, but it also runs worse.
So impressive!

Street Fighter IV.
The only good part of Ascension is the graphic unfortunately.

God of War Ascension
Guys come on TLOU was a great game but ass ugly. Animation and art was great but the textures and jaggies were horrid at times. Not in any way "easily" best LOOKING game of last gen.
Some of my choices:
-God of War 3 / Ascension
-Uncharted 3
-Final Fantasy XIII (deny it all you want but the hair and faces were amazing)
-Mirror's Edge - super slick image quality, great colors, felt way ahead of its time
-Beyond: Two Souls
Not necessarily the best games of the gen but they so look nice.

Beyond Two Souls final chapters > everything else as far as what's actually being displayed on your screen, but of course, the game is extremely limited.
Other then that, TLoU and GTAV

For me it's The Last of Us.
Uh, Max Payne 3 decimates GTA V when it comes to textures, framerate, animations, facial movement, character models.
Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
The Last of Us is the only right answer
GTA V close second

Well, when the place are filled of the 'fog of the spore' seems to play to low res. Or I have in mind the
snowstorm in the city
In your mind of course. But tech wise is another story.
And people say The Division can't be done...

"What is the best looking game of the PS3/360 era?" is the question, not which game had better tech. If you think GTA V looks better than Max Payne 3 I don't know what to tell you, GTA V at times is the jaggy capital of the world. Some character models have 2D objects plastered on.

This, and I wish there was more gifs for this game.

Not even close to true, many games used native resolutions that weren't 16:9.
Most did scale back up to 16:9 and there are some examples where the black bars can be removed, but the internal aspect ratios are all over the place.
