It's official Exclusive games are no longer where you go for top graphics only. 

3rd party devs are really turning up the heat. Here is the 360 gameplay of Bulletstorm from GC.

Really? I mean really?

I think this is quite a step up to any exiting console game. Same with Rage and Crysis 2. The scale and lack of framerate drop when that HUGE monster came out was unmatched.

Seriously I have seen 3rd party devs this year shine in tech alot more than first party devs. 

Top of my technical achievement food chain right now from all the games Ive seen are

Rage

Followed by 

Crysis2/Bulletstorm

Possibly then followed by

LOS/GT5/Reach.

Then the rest.

selnor nothing wrong here but your thread titles and posts are funny

looks BIG and great

there are alot of other good games so just declaring this is the best looking out of them is just wrong.

and how the hell is it official????

uncharted 2 and GOW3 are still the best looking games out there

the game it's great, but it's not THAT much groundbreaking.

So you haven't played God of War 3 then? Also, in what universe does Reach approach the technical achievements of Gran Turismo 5?

The game is looking pretty cool though and yes the graphics are top notch. 

I'd like to see more than that. The game looks good,but nothing amazingly spectacular. lol

sure but even comparing HALO reach with the biggesdt and not mentionin KILLZONE 3 and older games ME2,UC2,GOW3 is silly

so before making a reply to puffy you should make the "silly" reply to selnor

It's a great looking game, but I wouldn't put as a contender for anything, if anything it look's a bit better than Resistance 2, which also had similar looking environments, scale and that gun in the first pic look's suspiciously like a Carbine.

Selnor it's not cool to make list's based on graphical achievements without playing all the contenders. Basing your judgement on current and upcoming  videos is hardly a fair way to come to a conclusion like that. Also, outside of the 60 FPS, I still can't see what's so impressive about Rage, every presentation they've shown has left me unimpressed, but I guess I'll wait until it releases.

That's absolute crap. Selnor was talking about technical achievement (graphics engine, code optimization etc) which we grade by the outputs that games provide (resolution, lighting, frame rate, draw distances etc) and this doesn't change by genre. It's really that simple.

I like it how selnor ignored KZ3, which is pretty much guaranteed to have HUGE maps in multiplayer.

But Bulletstorm does look awesome.....not a surprise really since Epic are involved.

Edit : Oh and inFAMOUS 2 looks absolutely gorgeous for a sandbox game
