After 2011, Crysis 2 rises as the NEW graphics king

last Crysis 2 screen

BF3 is very clean looking though.

Lol @ concole peasant battle.

Oblivion with mods. Don't forget to pick up your jaw later on from the floor.

Consolites always claimed that Crysis was nothing but graphics and that it had terrible gameplay. Clearly not having played the game.

Well, exactly that can be said for Crysis 2, while the game may have pretty graphics, it's just so forgettable.

How one regards gameplay is so much is so much in the eye of the beholder. What would good gameplay mean to you and give examples.

I didn't mean to say that crysis 2 has bad gameplay, because it hasn't. It's just that the whole experience is incredibly forgettable. It tried to be too much like other games and in doing that it feels too much like those other games and those games pull of the gameplay/story/characters better. Far Cry and Crysis tried to be their own game, sure they may not have succeeded in every part (mutant/alien sections were pretty boring) but they still stand out as great games.

Crysis 2 may be graphics king, but people will have forgotten about this game within a year.

I neglected Doom 3 after BF2 came out. I'm surprised how good it still looks when maxed out.

Yeah, up the resolution of the textures, throw in some better lighting and you got a current gen game.

Isnt the point of the thread to say which of the games listed you think looks the best though? Not weather people will remember them in a years time. I do get what youre saying though.

Er yes it does, don't be such a pathetic troll when you didn't even play the game. In fact the sun shaft is much more advanced in UC3 it's actually true volumetric lighting which casts both the light shaft and volumetric shadows, unlike that cheap 2d post processing effect used in Gears3's. And lighting is the LAST thing you wanna compare gears3 to uc3 with, the latter has true HDR, deferred lighting, true volumetric lighting and baked GI. I hate kids these days trying to act like they know everything when they absolutely have no clues about what they're saying. gpuking

It's probably because I skipped every FPS following BF2 and took a break starting from back in 2006 until 2009. So, "generic" FPS gameplay now seems fresh to me again. You're probably right I'll tire of the game. I just finally got tired of Warhead. Crysis 2 should be following eventually. Not right now, though.

You are right, Battlefield 3 is graphics king.

Dirt 3 is the runner-up.

Wow those textures look amazing.

But the lighting is a bit off though, his hand is as bright as the sun :P

Some BF3 screens:

Crysis 2

Heres some Crysis 2 screens, hi rex texture pack, DX11 max settings. I think it could be graphics king after all! Again I dont know why Gamespot wont let me post more then 1 screen at a time so sorry about multiple posts.

Hate more? BF3 and Crysis 2 can both be argued forever which is the best.

I thought Crysis 2 looked incredibly inconsistent. Even with the high res texture pack many textures are incredibly pixelated and ugly.

the BF 3 campaign looks so amazing in some parts, the parking garage in "comrades" and the beginning of the jet mission (forget the name) were just stunning. It gets my vote.

Witcher 2 also looks really incredible overall, since it has very strong technical graphics and excellent art direction.

Bulletstorm is the most linear game I've ever played right down to the rail sequences. But, you know what? I'm enjoying it. Unlike some, I love the crass dialogue. :lol: Even I need to take a break from more complex games from time to time.

[QUOTE="LegatoSkyheart"]

This thread needs more Crysis Pictures.

and while we're at it, Battlefield 3 pictures too.

must of been taco bell :P

gotta go fast

I guess it's the best graphically, but it performs like crap for me. With vsync it usually makes my FPS 25 everything maxed out lol. Roughly 35-40 with it off but tears up.

I just finished AC:R and that game is very underrated graphically and optimized pretty well considering it's an Ubi game :P

NoodleFighter

You wouldn't believe the amount of detail that was in that thing :lol:

The Witcher 2 for me.

A perfect combination of technical prowess and great artstyle. The game looks gorgeous.

If you own it, try modding it. It really made a night and day difference for me.

I've tried Blackfire and MalDO textures. Only made it look worse IMO. I've given up on the game until some sweet mods/levels come around, and until someone puts back in the infinitely better Crysis 1 suit controls.

I don't like blackfire either, but you should try the maldo 3.0 mod (if you only used one of the older releases), it's sort of like a light version of the stalker complete mods, requires the dx11 patch and improves nearly every aspect of the game imo.

Shogun 2 and Dirt 3 seem to get neglected in the comparisons a lot, even though both are competitors for king.ferret-gamer

I think dirt2 looks better tbh. The sky looks like a bad gif or something in dirt3 and I can't stand the ugly tepia filter on everything.

Skyrim. Has scale, day/night cycle, changes of atmospheric elements in real time, good physics, wonderful lightning and a unsupassed art. Only lacks in environment destruction but if you take the overall picture and also the superb performance is a winner.

I'll go with Crysis2, BF3 Would win, but Dice put that disgusting color grading on it w/o the option to remove it and ruined it.Inconsistancy

As Vanilla games, definately BF3

Skyrim. Has good physics

Ondoval

Oh man, you CANNOT be serious! :lol:

[QUOTE="XBOXSTRONG"]Gears 3 actually is, it looks better than most PC exclusivesCrysis3Soldier

This is the graphics king imo. :)

ChubbyGuy40

Oh man, you CANNOT be serious! :lol:

When the bugs doesn't ruin it has very good physics: you shoot an arrow to a sentinel and the corpse falls in a very credible way, you fight inside a room and all the bottles, books and furniture ends spread away, you drop a potion from the peak of a muntain and you can see the glass rolling over the side of the mountain, the river waters has downstream drag... so yes, I think that overall has a very good physics despite the giants making bears to fly away in the air as rubber balls.

It already looks better than alot of current generation games. Update the textures and throw in some better lighting and it will be graphics king all over again.
