I would definitely grant it best graphics of the year, it definitely deserves it.

Halo 4 is clearly one of the best games graphically this year and congrats on it winning the graphics award. However I dont think you can say its the best console game ever - whether it beats previous games such as Crysis 2, Uncharted and Killzone is pretty debatable and even the link you provided says "Best Graphics Technology of 2012". Especially since, as others have already pointed out, it HASNT been a landslide for Halo 4 in winning graphics awards from critics.

Deserving considering the art style was brilliantly done on such old hardware. People need to stop using the word ever though, it's just 2012 lol.

PS3 had shit for games in 2012, next year is when the big guns come charging in, Sony exclusives basically sucked balls in 2012.

yeah yeah sure..

It was the best this year on consoles easily. I dont see one console game this year that comes close at all TBH and I played pretty much every big game this year on every console

In fact the only games that compete with it this entire gen IMO are God of War 3, Uncharted 2 and 3, and Forza 4 IMO

Halo 4 best looking Console game ever, who played it already knows this, critics are just saying what we already knew.

343 will destroy everything next gen.


Not the best looking console game imo, but congrats, not like there was much competition in the graphics department this year tbh.

Nice Try.

Halo 4 best graphics on any consoles.

It's nice to have opinions on the internet.

Subjective. Now move along.

That's pretty much how I see it. When console games take that "crown", it's usually by a large margin (one of the reasons I argued for Killzone 3 against Crysis 2 - because Killzone 3 swept away "best console graphics" points).

Although Uncharted 3 is still regarded as the best looking thing on consoles by a huge amount, Halo 4 gets props from me!

That's really not true anymore and almost as bad as the OPs best ever on console statement.  People significantly more qualified than you or I have stated Halo 4 was better or on par to Uncharted 3.  I'm aware some "experts" even say its close but Uncharted 3 is better but none have said Uncharted 3 is a huge amount better.  Its simply not the case fella.  I will of course conceded you may consider it artistically better by a huge amount but it didn't appear that way to me either tbh.

To the OP, Halo 4 is the best looking title on consoles this year, it really isn't definitively the best looking game ever by any stretch as is demonstrated in the mixed opinions on tech sites.  

To add something extra into the mix, one of the nominees I have for best looking console game ever is Zelda Wind Waker, a technical and artistic masterpiece, I really wish they would revisit the art style with a title on the Wii U (I might actually buy one then).
