Kratos is probably the best rendered character I've ever seen.
Lightning makes it look...I don't know cheap maybe?
I think the best console looking game so far this gen is The Last of Us, can't wait for that game.
The lightning is the one thing that always stood out to me in GoW3...it looked...well...shit compared to everything else.
You are surely joking right? Taken directly from tv and this is in game.

The lighting in GoW3 was pretty shitty. Aside from the self-shadowing on Kratos and other non-playable characters and certain specific areas, the lighting and shadowing was pre-baked. GoW:A wins by default by having proper shadow maps on the environments.
Outside of perception, preference, or bias, there really is no such thing as best graphics ever for these consoles. It can easily be argued that all the top end console games these days are equally impressive while making different trade-offs.
Game does look great though.

Looks fantastic. Not sure if it will top Uncharted 3 though, which is currently leaps and bounds above everything else on consoles.
Really ?
The team working for gow a is double of gow 3, its just they will start sp marketing next month
gameplay is solid http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=506026
Gow runs at a really high frame rate
Tell me a console game or a console version of a game which looks as good as gow interms of IQ ? and at 30-60 fps
Hah! Exactly what I thought when I read the thread title.best looking console game is such a backhanded compliment anyway
Technically it's more like 1/3 as much time due to fixed overhead costs. So yeah, pretty impressive.Topping it or not, getting anywhere near it considering they have half as much time to render a single frame just shows how talented Santa Monica is. And I personaly think God of War 3 looks better than Uncharted 3 anyway.
Looks like he has lipstick on in this pic

But, y'know... console impressive.
I don't know why you called it a "hack and slash" title (it's more "action-adventure" with heavy emphasis on the combat, ala Devil May Cry and the like), but the game would inevitably look eons better if it had a PC port.I dunno. GOW3 looks better than any hack and slash title running on the PC so I would not just say just console impressive. Maybe that would have been true for other genres which have better PC counterparts.
The only comparable game is Forza Horizon.

There's very obvious compromises they're making on the PS3, even with their first-party optimizations. Texture resolution in particular takes a pretty big hit. Anti-aliasing is also pretty poor - temporal aliasing is par for the course on most of these console games (though the only people who even know what a game looks like with no temporal aliasing are hardcore PC gamers like myself, so this is a case of 'you don't know what you're missing, so you don't care').
I mean, if you have a good-looking game to begin with, that game is just going to look even better on a good PC. That goes without saying, but I'm going to keep on saying it.
Which looks rather blurry in comparison.
Still, I'm not sure if I like GoW:A better than GoW3...
Not really.Oh of course if it were designed for the PC platform it would look way better but like I said unfortunately a similar example from PC looking as good as GOW3 does not exist which is why I said it looks bloody impressive even after seeing a lot of PC footage of these kind of games. The opening of GOW3 still makes my jaw drop
Also I thought GOW,DMC,Ninja Gaiden were the holy trinity of hack and slash no? Maybe I am mistaken.
This started like a gamefqs thread, and continued to do so. OP is a GoW fan that needs reassuring that his game has the more grafixz above all and adds nothing to what we already know.
Oh, and BTW, U3 and Forza (and dare I say it, 360's Witcher 2) are superior in IQ than what we see right now, that kratos hi-poly model is eating half of the resources and so the enviroments are bland and textures low res.

Not really.
Compared to most PC games (especially recent ports like Hitman: Absolution and Max Payne 3) it just doesn't actually look that good. They do some nifty tricks with the renderer, but anyone with trained eyes (like myself) can't just ignore the problem areas. It has great art, though!
And, well, it's pretty clear my definition of 'hack and slash' is different from yours. It's kind of irrelevant anyways, so we can leave it at that.
I was talking about games within this genre on PC.Stuff like DMC4 for eg on PC still does not look as good as GOW3.
What does this even mean?
Seriously ? -_- ?
You deduce simply because i have GOW display Pic ?
Shall i start posting direct feed of UC3 to show pathetic its iq is as compared to gow a ?
I was talking about IQ in general, and the alpha build miles better then what i saw with the last of us which also recieved a similar thread
I wanted opinions of other members

UC3 and The Last of Us have terrible IQ. It's really only Forza Horizon that's comparable.
