KZ2, Forza3, GT5 and a few other games I've played have better graphics than this game.

That said, this is the must buy game for PS3 owners this holiday.


what games were they?

Hmm, Far Cry 2, Crysis, Crysis: Warhead, Prologue(arguably), Killzone 2, Grid PC.

Basically, lots of crap on PC, Killzone 2, potentially Prologue(can't tell from the screens), and I'm sure Forza 3 and GT5.

I give the edge to Uncharted 2 over Killzone 2 only because it has colour, which Killzone 2 lacks. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Uncharted run at 60fps? It seemed to run a lot smoother for me than KZ2.

It's too far away to start hyping that yet, but yes, it does look miles better than Uncharted 2.

I remember the good old days when Donkey Kong Country came out and was hands down, without a doubt, even while wearing fanboy goggles the best looking thing around, easily.

When you can get to four pages debating which game looks better, the answer to me is that there clearly is not a big difference between the top four or five games here. The edge might go to one game for textures, another for models, another for framerate, another for particles etc.

We are clearly getting into the realms of diminishing returns in terms of graphics which makes you wonder what the fanboys are going to argue about next generation. Hey, who am i kidding, i'll see you back here for the Killzone 3 versus GeOW 4 comparison thread.



^Lol, you don't have to wait that long. Alan Wake vs. Heavy Rain comes first.

Didn't Alan Wake show up on "E3's most disappointing games" from several websites? Even if the game looks good it will probably score in the low 80's anyways.


No, it actually won some awards. Go and check IGN, they were totally enthusiastic.

I know you won't do it anyway, but just read this.

http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/100/1001162p1.html

It won "Best Action Game" at E3 by IGN (Uncharted was a nominee)

http://uk.games.ign.com/articles/987/987759p1.html 


UK IGN............ And thats it? Wow, i'm definitely picking this up first day.


Again, I know you are just trolling, but here is what other sources said:

 

  • "From a technical standpoint, Alan Wake looks like one of the most accomplished Xbox 360 games yet. The lighting and shadowing are excellent, as you should probably expect from a game that puts so much emphasis on using light as a weapon, but there are plenty of other subtle details to take in. The trees look particularly beautiful, and when the darkness begins to topple trees right in front of you, it's a very scary thing to witness"

    Gamespot: http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/alanwake/news.html?sid=6211095&mode=previews&tag=result;title;0

 

  • "We're glad Alan Wake still exists: for a while we had no reason to even believe we'd ever see it. Now it's up to Remedy to take the game to the next level and make us glad it's in stores. From what we've seen, it captures a mysterious and nerve wracking vibe and we're eager to see what happens in Alan Wake's next episode."

Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Gameplay > Story > Sound > Graphics

When are people going to wake up? Graphics don't make a great game. They are a small part of game success. Great gameplay, with a great story that is told well through strategic/short cutscenes, sound sets the intensity, and graphics is a distant last place for visual eye-candy.

On topic, I think Killzone 2 will be the graphic king for a long time...

QFT... This generation seems to be filled with graphic whores who only measure game by it's looks. Gameplay is always the most important thing, very good example is Force Unleashed: it looked awesome and it got big hype behind it and in the end it turned out to be shitty gameplay and too short campaign.

PC games are always the "graphics kings" so let's exclude those. I think MGS4, Uncharted 2, Far Cry 2, GeOW2, Killzone 2 and Alan Wake are all about on the same level tbh on technical stand point, Bioshock with PC anti-alising is best in terms of atmosphere and art direction... These are often matters of personal taste, someone might think Okami or Viewtiful Joe is still better looking than anything on new consoles.



Currently playing: Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (PS3), Comet Crash (PS3), Super Stardust HD (PS3), League of Legends BETA (PC), Heroes of Newerth BETA (PC)

Finished recently: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (PS3)

graphically Lost Planet 2>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Uncharted 2
seriously just compare enviroments(Uncharted 2 looks so blurry especially on the first screen). Lost Planet 2 have thousands blades of grass that react to wind, monsters, players and explosions in REAL TIME and all of that in huge enviroment with monsters that make King Kong look like friggin dwarf, graphics better than Killzone 2 and most likely 720p and 60 frames per second - that's a GRAPHICS KING.

driving games is a different thing here and for me Forza 3 easily wins hands down. though Dirt 2 and Split/Second may give this game run for its money.


You love to put down Sony first party gmes dont you?

Lost Planet 2 better graphics than Killzon 2? Seriously just stop.

Do you want me to quote this to hell and back?

We're talking about console graphics over here, would you mind? Also, you are forgetting about the beta for Uncharted 2.

Frankly, I don't give a darn what you quote, but know that quoting another member in your sig in a derogatory way, would get you banned.

As for taking that out of context, when I said "games I've played" I obviously didn't mean I'd played GT5, I mean those games, PLUS other games I've played.

Now, naming anything "graphics king" on a console is a joke, and I don't give a damn how low you want to set the goalposts here, I'm not buying it.

BS topic, imo.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
