Forums - Gaming - What game do you think will win the graphics award for 2009?

I still think Killzone 2 is better than anything else we've seen thus far. Seriously, having played through it, it almost looks like a next-gen game.

So my vote goes for that.

Empire: Total War will easily win this, if RAGE doesn't come out this year.

No it won't it barely gets above 20 FPS on my PC, and is often at 0 FPS (according to Fraps)

What has FPS got to do with graphics? It's your own fault your PC can't run the game properly.

 



well id say god of war, heavy rain or gt5 if it comes out.

but a suprise package might be halo odst, its only a very short game so they will be able to use the dvd space to pack in much better grafix

Hey man if you want to talk about which game will have the best FMV that's another story. Uncharted 2 will have the best graphics this year.

Also remember Just because a cutscene might be made with a game engine doesn't mean that that's what the game actually looks like. You've been doing a lot of this lately showing pics of cutscenes and saying : "look amazing graphics!" Wrong.





These are not ingame cutscenes being rendered by the system. They are movie files simply being played back. Companies have been using FMV to hype up their systems graphics since the Sega CD days. It's sad to see kids still falling for it.

Yes your right about both of these being movies. However your wrong about CGI. The KZ2 opening is CGI. But the Gears 2 opening is a movie using the in game engine. There is a massive difference.

Wow, OP omits Uncharted 2, Killzone 2 and Gran Turismo 5, when we've seen multiplayer of UC2, have KZ2 in our hands, and have Prologue as a basis.

And then puts in three 360 exclusives - the first we haven't seen running on a 360, the second we haven't seen footage of in years and the last we haven't seen footage of at all.

Rather than compile a fanboy list of titles you'd like to see win it, selnor, you should construct a set of choices that is currently realistic.

Oh, I forgot - "it's gonna own, trust me" - disregard all I've said then. [/not]

Tsk.

So you win because your fanboyness wants PS3 games in there which I dont deem will win the title? Hmmmm seems like a fanboy calling me a fanboy. :(

 

No, I win because I chose games that stand a very respectable chance of winning the title. You chose what you'd like to see win it.

 

No because from a visual standpoint, I dont think they will win. Lost Palnet 2 would be there if it was this year. VGChartz seems the only forum to have countless fanboys degress the graphics of LP 2. Almost all other forums in many cases use the words LP 2 the new benchmark. So I do expect here to a certain degree that if PS3 games are left off you will get shouted at.

 

LP2 has been shown as pc version. GT went to capcom event and it was pc version they were showing. the same videos that have been out for last few weeks.Alan Wake is shown as pc version.you keep showing pc screens yet again.and 99nights 2 isnt in gameand that gears of war 2 intro is cgi(compressed) not game grafix, in fact some parts of the video are so compressed it almost looks youtube quality especially the part where helicopters come into view.

I'm sorry. Your wrong about Gears 2. Cliffy B said that all cutscenes in Gears 2 use the Unreal 3 Engine. Go few the video Pixel tells a thousand pictures.

This stupid nitpicking of PC version being shown is becoming increasingly rediculous. Mass Effect PC vs 360 is identical to each other bar resolution. Same with Bioshock and Fallout 3. To be honest I actually think those games look better on my 40 " TV because of the size and cinematic feeling.

It's pretty obvious that alot of the N32 screens are ingame. You dont get cutscenes with those angles in any game.

Mark my words LP2 (The new benchmark) Alan Wake, N32 and SC Conviction are gonna blow us away at E3. People thought that Gears 2 was the pinnacle of 360 more or less. That game wasnt even optimized to take advantage of the 360 6 threads. Multithread games on 360 will start being utilised with Alan Wake. And probably LP2 and Forza 3. Also considering Conviction has been in development before AC 1, I expect it to be better graphically than AC 2.

I will state and please feel free to quote me in your sig "The 360 is capable of far more than KZ2, and will be proved at E3 2009"

 



looool really discussing graphics with Selnor guys ??

good luck your gonna need it :p

Alan Wake, Heavy Rain, GT5, Uncharted 2  and KZ2.............wow

 

I got to go with................hmmmm..............KZ2 HEAVY RAIN I guess

Dude....you're awesome!!!!

 

LOL

 



 

Favorite films. Foreign films forever!

 

^Claiming the 360 is capable of "far more" than KZ2 sounds like an exaggeration to me. Since the first Gears of War, the 360's graphics don't seem to be improving in the way the PS3's graphics do. I'm no developer, but I'm just making observations from my experiences from both consoles. I played Killzone 2 yesterday for the first time in a few weeks and it just blows away anything else I have played on consoles. I don't mean to bash the 360 but I'll be surprised if it can match Killzone 2's graphics anytime soon, let alone achieving "far more". I'm sure MS will show some impressive stuff at E3 but it's not like Sony don't have a conference of their own.

I'm seriously considering it, which is quite an accomplishment considering it would go against my reluctance to have stuff in my sig with an expiration date, and my reluctance to have things in it directed at specific people.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
