If you have the hardware to run them at high detail any one of the following titles look absultely stunning and you are really splitting hairs when comparing them in terms of graphics.

The Chronicles of Riddick (runs on it's own engine that easily rivals the others)

Far Cry (runs on the CryEngine which again is just as good as the others)

Doom 3 (as good looking as this is I can't say it's any better than the others)

Half Life 2 (not sure which engine this uses but it's as good as the others too)

The next step in graphics is going to be the F.E.A.R. engine. It's doing things with particles and lighting that I've never see before. It easily beats all of the above but at a cost ... it runs considerably slower than the other games (at least in it's beta stage). I expect the final to have slightly improved performance but by it's nature it's going to run slower because of the new stuff it's doing.

  1. Far Cry
  2. Battlefield 2 - As long as you got the minerals for it.
  3. F.E.A.R.
Anyone who says Half Life 2 needs to get their eyes checked out. Everything in that game was painted on, for christs sake.

I was able to play doom 3 on Ultra. It looked great, and I was getting great framerates. But it was always stuttering when going through doorways. What's the problem? My vid card, my processor, or my RAM?

Doom 3 is much much better, on my friends computer there is NO JAGGIES! even when you are in the darkest areas, dont get me wrong though HL2 is some of the best ive ever seen.

Half Life 2 is a better game, but Doom 3 has better graphics.

jesuspotpie


i agree. hl2 was more fun to play. but doom 3 definitly beats it in the graphics area. theres some parts of doom 3 that looked like real...like i was watching a movie real. just awesome graphics. hl2 had some funky textures that looked like HL1...not all of them but some.

Half-Life 2 looks a lot better, but that's mainly because so much time was spent on it. When you compare Source and Doom 3 Engine games that are not Half-Life 2 or Doom 3, I find the Doom 3 powered games look much better.

Half-Life 2 looks better than Doom 3.



If you think otherwise, I'll set mini-CP on you:

The games looks nice, but if you are comparing engiens. I would rather work with the Doom3 engine. It might not have the character animations that Source does, but it does have a nicer feeling engine. Plus its the only engine besides what EQ2 is on, that can make use of a 512mb buffer.

I have to go with HL2, watching the G Man talk during the opening is great, not to mention that HL2 never uses cut scenes to show plot points and it still looks great. To me it was to dark in Doom 3 to appreciate the actual environments, plus it was mainly just corridors and such. In HL 2 you have wide open areas to look at and the character graphics are far better. One mans opinion.

I prefer Doom 3, and if you weren't comparing just these 2, i would say Quake 4 is the best looking game i have ever seen.

doom on ultra is way better than HL 2 on highest settings. But ithink Quake 4 looks a bit better.

Also Far Cry on highest settings look amazing with the outdoor enviroments and the range and freedom you have.

I think Half-Life 2. But Doom is better than HL in the dark places. Because Doom is based for scary.

Right now i think Call of Duty 2 and Half-Life 2 are the best graphics. Not really two games you can compare but still good graphics for both. Also two different styles but still.

geez..evrybody on this forum has a different opinion...
Id say doom 3 got to focus more on character and model detail than hl2 as its played 99% in closed environments like corridoors and plus took 5-6 yrs to make, but hl2 has huge environments which are extensively detailed and use a very different graphix engine, (dunno how many years)...
So it depends on what you like that determines which game has better graphix...

Doom 3 has much better lighting and shadowing than HL2.  Half Life 2s character animations and art style own all.  Plus there are some high-res texture packs that you can install and get rid of the sometimes muddy looking textures for HL2.  I personally thought HL2 was a beautiful, brilliant game, while Doom3 was run off an impressive engine, but played like a tech demo.

Out of Doom3 and HL2 its gotta be HL2

But if someone's had the experience of playing AoE III at FULL DETAILS, you'll soon realize that the level of realism is extremely amazing. This is THE most beautiful RTS to date.

True I've seen screens of AOE3 in full detail and it looks amazing, only wish i could get that good but i have to keep mine lower.
I haven't played Doom 3 but i've played HL2 and it is the best graphics game ive played to date.

IMHO HL2 has the better graphics. d3 wasn't bad but iD boasted their shadow tech more than anything, which was pretty good. hl2 just looks beautiful anywhere anytime. look at quake 4: improved d3 engine but the outdoor stuff looks like ass. source all the way
