MW2/MW3/BO/BO2 looked impressive, I concur, but not Advanced Warfare IMO, it suffered from looking noticeably downgraded as a result of being built for PS4/Xbone then chopped down, had a lot of rather poor textures and shadows.

I just edited my previous post with some thoughts on RE5.

I feel the AW campaign was more ambitious than previous games technically, a lot more happening given its futuristic and heavy action environment. So there may have been compromise on assets yet maintained an impressive frame rate even now.

I think many of the cross gen games were attempting to use more advanced lighting effects but lacked the power. So you ended up with a downgraded variation and more pixelated shadows. I've mentioned Destiny before because it had impressive 8th gen-ish lighting, but low res shadows.

Yeah AW on 360 was still an impressive port IMO for managing to retain the core structure as the PS4/Xbone version while still targeting 60fps and getting there most of the time, I just think that since the 360 was no longer the lead platform as it was for the prior few COD games it wasn't quite as pretty.

And yeah RE5 is impressive to this day, I actually think it has aged better than RE6 due to its smoother performance and more stylized use of shaders and post-processing.

BLOPS2 might be the most impressive CoD built for 7th gen. But AW is still really impressive for the hardware. I would actually argue Ghosts and AW still felt like 7th gen games, there isn't significant disparity between 7th gen and 8th gen versions. It more like the 8th gen version just have more effects enabled or increased. I say that as someone who completed these games on both gen consoles.

RE6 was very inconsistent visually. The in game cutscenes look incredible even with the frame rate problems, they still impress in the 8th gen ports. While the gameplay graphics could be a mixed bag of impressive to just ugly. I think its that inconsistency and janky gameplay why we don't look at RE6 more fondly even though its a visually impressive game.

BLOPS2 is easily the best looking COD game on the 360 in my book. 

Come to think of it, I'd rank Need for Speed Hot Pursuit (2010) and Most Wanted (2012) as another two of the best looking multiplats on 360.

I don't think Enslaved gets enough love in these threads. I mean look at this screenshot!!

*Pretend this is an Enslaved screenshot*

It's beautiful! Ninja Theory has some of the best character models in the business. And it's so colorful, too!!

It's definitely between Halo 4 and FH2 for me.

MGS5 is the one graphical heavy hitter on 360 I have yet to check out for myself; I plan to pick it up next year when I run out of games to play and have a month free.

I know as a crossgen game it's at a disadvantage compared to exclusives built from the ground up for the 360 hardware, but it does use a lot of really impressive tech for a game on 7th gen hardware, and online footage looks promising.

I doubt it'll rival the likes of Gears 3/Judgement, but it could be worthy of an honourable mention.

The art style of that game is gorgeous, but the assets aren't at par with other games mentioned. Also had texture issues which were common on UE3. Its worthy of a remaster.

The car models look fantastic of course, they were all take from previous games designed for 360. The engine itself though wasn't designed or optimized well enough for this game though. Maybe because it was rushed project and the engine wasn't designed for a game this open.

The environment in FH2 was blurrier, lacking in foliage, jarring pop in, etc. In comparison FH1's environments are much more lush but you don't actually drive in it, primarily just the roads.

With that said, I really think FH1 and Forza 4 are better looking games. FH2 however was still a fun game, just visually inconsistent and randomly placed walls make exploring the world frustrating compared for the X1 release.
