Basically it just boils down to the PC itself. Generally speaking though multi-plat games do tend to look better on the PC. While it is distinct in difference for me on my PC its not substantial amount for me to care.

Some games are way better looking on PC than consoles, but I don't think I've ever seen a game that looks better on consoles than on PC. So you're asking which games on PC that looks significantly better than it does on consoles? That's also too many to list.

All games that are released both on PC and consoles inevitably look better on PC. In some cases the difference is limited to higher resolution and more AA/AF however often the difference is more noticeable than that. Dragon Age and Metro 2033 are perfect examples.

You asked the wrong question in the OP. You should have asked which games can you see a real difference.

My answer to that is also.. all.

All of them are improved by sheer hardware muscle on the PC.

While on the consoles a particular game might run at 720p (or less), with no Vsync, no AF or AA. On the PC we can turn on/up those same things. A game will naturally look better at 1080p with vSync, AF, AA.

On top of that SOME games actually take advantage of modern PC hardware. You might see DX 10 and 11 features, better, more complex shadows, improved model mesh quality since there's more performance to tap to increase rendering complexity, longer view distances, lees object/texture pop-in, better physic and AI and higher resolution textures.

Not all games do this however. In fact most don't. So it shows when the developers goes that extra mile. And it shows when they don't.

This.

Is this a serious question or are you trying to be funny? I'm honestly interested to know.

If a game is on PC and consoles, there's a good 99% chance that it looks noticeably better on the PC. There's just far too many to list.

When the Halo remake comes out, that will probably look better than Halo: CE on PC. Other than that, good luck finding one game that doesn't look better on PC. There are games that play better on console than PC, like Saints Row 2, but that game still looks better on PC.

EA Sports used to port games from the PS2 onto the PC, so those games look better on consoles.

metro 2033 might be what you are looking for, the difference is huge. Honestly though, for the most part every game looks as much better as it possible can without redoing the entire thing. If the textures arent good enough, someone will make better ones.

Most reviewers wouldnt agree with this but i think that lots of games look better on PC. Even the ones that get higher console scores. Right now i'm looking forward to Homefront and Crysis. The devs of both games said they would look really good on PC!

Pretty much all the games that are multiplatform, provided you have the muscle to really kick it in with all setting enabled in glorious 1080p+.

However, the difference in some high quality titles is not extremely different, you will still get higher resolution, AA, AF and so forth on PC but some games look great all across the board.

At maxed settings, 1920x1200 or 1080p resolution, all games. Seriously. I notice even the slightest differences. With the PC version, you can notice the sharpness, crisp-ness, and clearness of it right away.

I dont think he was expecting this kind of response TBH. He probably thaught that only a few games looked better than the console versions and he was going to debunk them by turning this into a "they dont look THAT MUCH better" topic like they always do and then call us all elitists.

Splinter Cell Double Agent

I was gonna say any Ubi made game as of late from my understanding. I know that R6V and V2 were unoptimized on the PC.

Not really.... most UBI titles work ok on PC, just that they have stupid DRM and sometimes a bit unoptimized (but the looks are better on PC). Except for Double Agent....
