Forums - Gaming - Which 3D 7th gen games have aged the most gracefully visually?

Following on from the 6th gen thread last month, which 3D games on 360/PS3/Wii do you think have aged the most gracefully in terms of graphics, and why do you think this is the case?

Note that this is different from which was the best looking games for these consoles at the time, and more specifically which holds up the most nicely today.

The OG The Last of Us has aged pretty well.



Killzone 2 and 3 still look really good even today. Halo 4 could pass for an XB1 game. Gears of War 3. Uncharted 3. Rayman Origins. The Ratchet and Clank Future games. All 3 Bioshock games. Dirt 2 and 3 and Forza 4.

I'm hesitant to list games that looked much better on PC like Battlefield 3 or the Crysis Trilogy, since the console versions aged a lot more than the PC versions.

The Galaxy games for Wii. I'd throw in Endless Ocean when below the surface and The Last Story. Kirby's Epic Yarn, Sonic Colors. And Red Steel 2.



Ni no Kuni, Tales of Vesperia, Tales of Graces f, and Valkyria Chronicles have all aged well thanks to their cel-shaded graphics.

FF13 also still looks good after all this time.



Sonic Unleashed. To this day it is the best looking Sonic game, what Sonic Team did to make this game look so good in the 7th generation is astounding.

VanQuish. It's still the best playing Third Person Shooter ever made. It's still unique and plays amazing. Has not aged a day. Metal Gear Rising and Baypnetta same thing. They still play fantastic and don't play like old games. If these were released today with modern visuals but zero changes to gameplay. No one would notice of feeling old.

Shit, forgot to specify that this is in terms of graphics; edited the OP.
