Forums - Microsoft - 360 games that don't get the credit for graphics you think they deserve.

This thread is for y'all 360 owners. I'm not referring to games going to come out, but games that are out already. Also only in game gameplay videos please. No enhanced replays, cutscenes etc etc.

For me I'll start with PGR4.

I think that PGR4 looks fabulous and is written off all to easily these days. But the majority of time PGR4 in gameplay looks absolutely beautiful and REAL. Here is full 8 minute constant gameplay of PGR4 nurburg ring on a Bike. Ive still yet to see gameplay look this real in a racer. To be honest after going back and playing it over the last 2 days, Forza 3 has it's work cut out. Don't know what it is but for me PGR4 has got the colours and lighting near perfect, also included is cockpit in a car of Shanghai. Please post your games you feel are underated in the graphics department. Heres my video proof.

Too right, the 360 doesn't get any credit around here though

*waits for PS3 fans to invade*



 

Invaders Must Die!!!



Heck, lots of systems have games that don't get credit, because people don't look at the whole picture. They just see one or two things and not realize the complex web of how games use system resources.

On that note, I remember Halo 3 getting flack for not looking like a huge leap over Halo 2, until people realized it was to make room for scale.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Gears 2.

Its graphics are awesome, but it got overshadowed by Killzone 2.

Mass Effect.

It just looks ace. Cant wait for ME2.

Heys guys the thread wasn't aimed at anyhting against PS3 games. Just general 360 games. When people use graphics games for 360, they normally use Gears 2 etc. Personally PGR4 is THE most realistic graphics Ive seen for the 360. Look at that first PGR4 video. IMO there is no other game that looks that real on the 360 at all. It's insane. Posting replays of games is all fine, but no other racer comes near that currently out for gameplay graphics.

Agreed. Most people use Gears 2 as the go to game for 360's graphical capabilities. The video you posted shows that this is a mistake. I will say that, having played GT5 Prologue on 1080p, PGR4 looks just as good if not better.

I would probably add Kameo... yeah I kn ow that its an old title, one of the firsts, but I thaught that it was amazing back then, but it still got only fairly favorable reviews when it came to graphics...

A more recent game would probably be Gears 2... its easily in the top 3 best looking games this time around alongside KZ2 and Crysis... but the other two stole some thunder away...

I'd also say Mass Effect. Though it can have framerate issues at times, the presentation make you feel like it's a real world(s).
