Most impressive given the hardware Mario Galaxy 2 very technically impressive makes me sad Nintendo doesn't compete with graphics anymore. They make beautiful games

Yes. By the way, their PS4 tech demo 'The Dark Sorcerer' was made with Beyond's engine, only with higher-resolution assets.

Halo 4 in any form of splitscreen drops to sub 10fps. It's got an awful draw distance. You can scope in across a map and textures won't be loaded.
It's graphically impressive on first viewing but you take a second to scratch the surface and you can see numerous short comings, tricks and cheats to get that effect. The game having Splitscreen means very little if it's unplayable.

They are amazing, but it's no Surprise they look like they do when the game is essentially one giant QTE . I love it that games can come in such a wide spectral of experiences.

The Last of Us or GTA V get my vote. Might be leaning towards GTA V.

Grand Theft Auto V just takes so much and its still mindblowing how they pulled that game off on such old hardware.
Beyond Two Souls character models look better than any current gen game besides Infamous.
The Last of Us was just mind blowing........and that
was one of the most jaw dropping moments I ever witnessed in a video game and cannot wait to see it on the PS4 version.

Sonys 1st party studios are wizards, they definitely delivered the best looking games on last gen consoles.
But the technically most impressive game to me is GTA V.
Its not the best looking game, but for what it is its mighty good looking.

Naughty Gods takes it, whatever their game may be.

Thinking everything that is going on under the hood besides visuals, I would go with GTA V.
Definitely a tough one to choose between Uncharted 2/3, GOW3/A, and Beyond Two Souls.

This. Given the scope of the world, the graphical fidelity is incredible.

For me it's Killzone. When it came out it looked insane and still holds up today, even if later PS3 games looked better.
From the stuff I have played:
Visually impressive, either the Uncharted series or Beyond: Two souls. The latter looked especially amazing
On a technical standpoint (being on the freaking wii and all) Either the Mario Galaxy games or Xenoblade, due to the sheer scope of the latter.

God of War 3 IMO
The performance in that game is so strange, the part that runs the worst in the whole game is that grave in the Navajo bit, and it looks kind of assy and barren, but there's stuff nearer the end in the water locations that look like they feel out of next-gen and they run totally fine.
Easily #1 the most impressive.
I'm surprised how much they fit in. I'm still playing through this.

I think RAGE was the best engine last gen. Read Dead Redemption and GTA 5 really showed what that engine was capable of on those machines.

Beyond: Two Souls. By quite a bit.
I thought TLoU was fantastic as well.

GTA V, draw distances, lighting, pretty solid framerate, physics, effects like cloud layers etc (not even mentioning the typically amazing Rockstar art and design) = technical marvel. Even if it's not on the same level technically I swear it "looks" better than a lot of my PS4 games
Easily #1 the most impressive.
What game is this?
Xenoblade, for the Nintendo Wii.
OP didn't ask for the visually most impressive game of the 7th generation. If that was the case, I would've gone with something else.
Due to Skyrim's high level of interactivity with many items in the world (which is pretty large), I consider it the technically most impressive 7th gen title. Goes without saying, you are free to disagree...

This. Beyond: Two Souls had a few rough patches, but overall, it's the only gen 7 game that I don't feel would look totally out of place as a gen 8 game.

GTA5 is crazy impressive. Huge scale.
Same with Battlefield 3. The scale of that game made my jaw drop all the time.

No, it's a team larger than 1000 developers working for 5 years on a single project. I find what Naughty Dog could do in 2 years with Uncharted 2 & 3 with a team size that is probably less than 1/5th of that to be far more impressive.
