Forums - Gaming - Graphics Whore Showdown Round 3: Call of Duty 4 vs Bioshock

After Crysis obliterated Killzone 2 in Round 2, I didn't think there was any point in comparing Gears 2 to Crysis. So I'm gonna go ahead and compare two different games, Bioshock and COD4. Both games came out around the same time and both games were loved by audiences. But which one looks better? Bioshock creates a very unique environment in Rapture and is a gorgeous game to look at, but it has the occasional slowdown and texture pop-in, which is common in the Unreal 3 engine. Call of Duty 4 on the other hand uses a new graphics engine that gives a more realistic and gritty feeling. The game also manages to run super smooth (60 fps) and it's hard to believe that it can look so good and run so well at the same time! So start voting folks and tell me which looks better, COD4's single player, or Bioshock when it originally came out for the 360.

Bioshock by nearly a landslide

I hated Bioshocks style and thought it was the 2nd most over-rated game of the gen.

My vote goes CoD4.

Also, make the Uncharted: Drake's Fortune round next!



                            

why compare games that came out years apart? COD should look better in terms of technical display. art styling is a personal choice ... i like art deco so ill go with bio shock...


and as an elitist art nazi with a degree ... my opinion matters more then your

 

updated to reflect admission of my own stupidity, the rest still stands ...

years apart? dude they were both released in the same year and only months apart!



I'm gonna go with Call of Duty 4 as well, I love the gritty art style and effects and the fact that the game never slows down and runs so damn smooth makes it that much more special. Bioshock is also a pretty game, the art style might be better, but there were too many technical issues in that game. I noticed texture pop-in and slowdowns various times in my playthrough.
