Why isn't Red Dead on the list???
I'll just leave this here.
LOL @ the end "ya hear that? the sound of bar being raised!"
I agree with this list i wish they put some rpg's on it though

Clunky is a representation of a feeling or movement, not a look. Low-res textures it had, yes (although, so did Gears 2). As for that review, I don't recall it personally, maybe they saw something I didn't. Could be wrong. I'll play through it again. And I'd suggest playing Gears 2 again, because one of the things that plagued the game is texture pop-in. It was improved from Gears 1, but it was definitely there. |
i played it the day before KZ3 came out, and the only thing i noticed was slight pauses throughout the game were it was loading, not unlike crysis 2. if the was any pop-in, it wasnt noticable, or i just missed it, marveling at how good of graphics it still has. it does have some low res rocks, but for the most part, they are very good.

Gears had fade-in effect, different and more subtle from the obvious texture pop-in towards the later stages of KZ2.. Clunky can be used to describe an object or graphics by treating it as a metaphor meaning "disportionate or inconsistent from reality.."
coming back to my original opinion..
UC2 > Crysis 2 > KZ 3 & GoW3 > Gears 2 > Killzone 2
Only thing I don't like about the list is that it seems to me like it totally ignores the existence of downloadable games. There are some games out there like Wipeout HD and Flower which are technically impressive and aesthetically beautiful that would fit really well on this list. I wonder if they were considerred.
...
I've actually played all 10 of those games and agree with the top 5, only not in that order.
As far as i'm concerned, God of War III > Killzone 3 > Uncharted 2 > Crysis 2 > Killzone 2.

Neither run at a constant 30. |
Killzone 2 is far more consistent than Crysis 2, it rarely ever dropped in frames and the only visual problem the game had that I can recall is a slight pause between loading new levels, which was done to avoid menu loading.
Rest of the thread: People are comparing Gears 2 to Killzone 2, there is no competition, Killzone 2 trumps it. People should be comparing Gears 2 to Dead Space and MGS4 those games released in the same year and even they are arguably better looking than Gears.
Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

Oh well, I don't use "clunky" that way and the vast majority of people I talk wouldn't either. So it's a non-issue. As for graphics, let's agree to disagree. Crysis 2 had far too many problems for it to be in the Top 3 & while Gears 2 was prettier than Killzone 2, on sheer graphics, Killzone 2 was head and shoulders above it (and just about any review during Killzone 2's release would agree). |
This is a graphical comparison not a technical one..

Fugly grass... SOryy I'm one of those who don't understand how, putting aside char models, people find FFXIII beautiful.
