My list would be UT3, uncharted, mass effect. It just amazes me any of you include CoD4, that game is just ugly.

 

Did you play it? The mission where your flowing the guy around in a gilly (sp?) suit is amazing. Looks like a movie. A few other sceens made me wonder how this game was being done. The mission early on when you defend the tank. I was sitting there playing, wondering how so many thing could be going on all at the same time, and then two helo's blow up a building. The bombing missions looked like something on CNN.

The best graphics I have seen (aside from a few moments in Uncharted).


Yes i own the game and yes i have played it alot, i have 42,000 kills online. The game may look good from far away but start to explore the levels and you see how the game falls apart, the game has some of the worst textures of any next gen game, they look like the floor/wall textures of killzone2 pre alpha level at last years E3.  CoD4 on the consoles is limited by a xbxo360 resoultion problem, this is why the game is 600P.  While other games are 720P.

You also picked two levels that don't really show to much off, yes the part from the plane, looks like a CNN video, but its all Black and white from way up in the sky. The Sniper level has great level design and plays like a movie but its not a polygon pushing game. The lack of colour in that level allows the game to look like its better then it really is.


You sir, are picky :p

Graphics of a game are nothing more then a trick to make you think your seeing something your not. It's just a bunch of dots on a 2D screen set in a pattern to trick your mind. CoD4 I think tricks my mind into thinking I am see reality better then any other game.

Uncharted, while amazing, always looked like a game. CoD4 at times (and I don't care so much about how they technically did it), portrayed reality at an incredibly high level.

I guess in order to do that, they skimped in areas you consider of high value when comparing what games look like. I don't so much. To each there own I guess :)
