Lol but its average textures, lvl design and character models dont count heh?As far as graphics go yes that argument is always escalatd by the hermits . Whenever someone talks about how great a game looks ( evnen if there saying its not the best looking game out) you get a flood of Crysis pics and how bad all consoles game look yet they totally ignore the fact that Crysis decimates anything on pc.

Another reason why people talk about visuals is although they are not everything usually games with great visuals happen to be great games.

What's wrong with the textures and level design? The only thing that isn't that great are the character models and animations. Everything else looks better than what you can find on consoles, while also being in an open world with more than 100 miles of land to freely explore.

Its textures are not far beyond anything on consoles by any means and its levle design is open and bland lots of wide open fields and a few trees , it gets murdered by Crysis in every conceviable way. Hell even the cryengine 3 demo shown on conosles blows it away in pretty much every area. Now compare the Gun Models, lighting effects, animations and charcter models to KZ2 and how is it far beyond anything on consoles? All it has on them is scale at the expense of bland level design.

Yeh, barely any trees. Average textures. The game nearly looks photo realistic. This is getting too off topic now. Either way, all I said was I can't judge **** from a tiny scan and NAPK1NS basically got offended. So, he pulled his usual "Oh you must not like any games", like i've seen so many times before. Notice how I've never ACTUALLY said GoW or U2 look 'bad' or 'average'?

I hope your joking? 100 of miles of land to freely explore, :lol: . You know better than that man. How many times in crysis did you move from side to side on the island just to be blocked in by cliffs, after trying to explore? It's like playing in a smallcanyon. I tried the strength on my jumping and 99 percent of the time I couldn't make itup anycliff half way. The game had its moments of feeling open world, but over all it was as described above. Textures are good huh? did you try looking on the cliffs and/or the ground and notice how low res the textures werein crysis? They look like PS2 res textures! Over all UC2 was more consistant so that made UC2 beat crysis in my opinion. Oh yeah and just for giggles 90 percent of the time crysis was just as linear as UC2 was...well maybe a little more freedom to explore but not by much.

What? I'm talking about Arma II.

[QUOTE="AAllxxjjnn"] It is simple. Arma II's scale makes it graphically beyond anything on consoles. It's not hard to grasp this concept. Also all this forum talks about is graphics, so what should i be bringing up in graphical threads? Super Mario Galaxy?AAllxxjjnn

Arma2 is terribly inconsistent and is a graphical mess. :? That video even does the game justice because it's fuzziness hides jaggies (unless you have one hell of a rig and can afford to enable AA), and those paper-cut out looking trees. One thing that remains consistent in Arma2 are the shadows. :? I wouldn't exactly call it a technical marvel in any sense seeing as how it's completely glitched.

you're not alone. imo, it doesn't look very good either. looks like a ps2 game with 1080p res and hdr lighting. uncharted 2 looks so much better. they should have went the 720p route instead, then they could achieve much more. consoles don't have enough vram to keep up with the needs of extremely high res games without sacrificing the graphics. i loled when cows claim they can see the pores on kratos' face, **** fanboy claim, other than the scars there's nothing that is superbly detailed on his face.

I think god of wars graphics are pretty darn good actually, kinda excited to see a god of war on a next gen console. That being said do I think there are better looking games on consoles, yes. Mass Effect 2, Alan Wake, Cryengine game, Uncharted 2 all look/will look better. Time will tell though.

No i've noticed, that although the graphics are next gen, there definitely not Gears of War or Uncharted 2 graphics by any means.

No gameplay videos or screenshots suggest otherwise. The A lot of articles I read are saying this games graphics are PHENOMENAL and BREATHTAKING but it really isnt all that good. It like, doesn't even look THAT next gen. I mean its graphics are FINE. But, since the gameplay is essentially exactly the same as before with kind of better graphics and just a different barbaric story, why should I buy this. Thoughts? (Not a joke, the graphics dont look good) IMO

You may want to find a new hobby if GOW3 looks just average to you. I think you will be pretty dissapointed by everything on consoles than.

I think the problem is that most people who thinks it has average graphics hasn't played the game. It looks much better than the screenshots and gameplay will lead you to believe.

Yes, it has average graphs for a PS3 game... which tops anything on the 360.

Ok, sorry. Couldn't resist.

omfg Crysis owns all.

couldn't resist. apologies around;)

Typical hiding spots behind the PC in a response like this is TYPICAL

Yes for many sides in an arguement as well.

To me GOW is about scope and gameplay. Mostly gameplay. Having the best graphics isn't really important. I'm more concerned with characters and the amazing conclusion to an incredible trilogy of games.

It must look good, because the damage control is already in full effect. Seriously, we all know it cannot compete with what you can get out of a monster rig, but it is far from being "average." Let's be real here, folks. It is a fine looking game and is looking to easily be one of the best looking games on consoles. However, seeing some gameplay from these scenes will tell the tale.

Play the demo before you talk. The scary thing is the game wasn't even finished at that point. In addition, the game will have 3 1/2 months of polishing

i think it has above average graphics, but nothing mind blowing. i've always thought that about the GOW series in general. that being said, i think the game will be great.

No wonder you think it's just above average. You said: "i've always thought that about the GOW series in general" Um, I'm pretty sure that GoW was pretty much one of the graphics kings on the PS2 and that GoW2 is still arguably the best looking PS2 game ever. So, I don't really understand why you say that you've thought that about the GoW series in general when in general it pretty much puts other games to shame. GoW 2 almost looks as good as DI's demo when playing in 720P, lol...

yes, and i think assassin's creed 2 and RE5 look better than what i've seen of GOW3 so far. i also think uncharted 2 looks better than GOW3. like i said, i've always thought the GOW series was pretty, but not mind blowing. last gen, RE4 put the god of war series to shame graphically, imo.

The graphics in the early footage was definitely average but in the recent builds it is amazing.

From what I've seen and played, GOW3 is a very good looking game. Probably not on the level as sopme of this gen's best looking tit;e, but definitely above average.
