An Un-Biased Console Graphics King Comparison

hi so i have been seeing alot of thread recently about console graphic kings etc and its funny to see some of the answers the ppl come out with.

i am a ps3 owner lets just get that out of the way but this is my unbiased opinion and im sure many will agree.

GEARS OF WAR 2: anyone who says this game wont be king is mistaken. im sorry folks but this game clearly has the edge on visuals and WILL be graphics king when it is launched. with that being said it wont last very long on the throne. why? because looking at the visual improvement there doesnt seem to be alot and that tells me a game next year will simply come and knock it out of its place.

EDIT: Textures in the game are also a hit and miss situation just like in killzone 2. the character models are very detailed, but some of the environment textures seem to be lacking. its obvious where the devs had to make cuts in order to get this game looking like it is now.

RESISTENCE 2: i dont know how ppl can say this has better graphics than gears 2. i once myself said it too and now i look back think that was silly lol this game is good looking but it doesnt look better than gears 2. sorry fellow ps3 fans but thats the truth. it has nice colourful vibrant environments and the game has gotten bigger and better than before. the scene with the bridge with all the alien ships flying around looks to be one of the best set peices this gen so far! some good textures around but the main focus on this is the gameplay which will not fail to please im sure of it.

KILLZONE 2: this seems to be the marmite of the gaming industry, you either love it or you hate it. it has very nice textures and does look very very good considering guerilla games has had the pressure of the infamous e3 2005 trailer to live up to. BUT graphics king? yes. although it has hit and miss textures throughout some look very good some look ok and some look bad. it has one of the best lighting systems in place with the realistic lens flare effects etc. the environments seem semi destructible also. coupled with the particle effects, the explosions, the post processing, the draw distance, the continuous action going on this game may very well be the one to de-throne gears 2 when it is launched.

RESIDENT EVIL 5: this game seems to be one to beat at the moment. its lighting effects and visuals are simply too good. even gears 2 doesnt hold a candle to it. capcom have done a great job with it. when this is launched it will de-throne gears of war 2. simple.

HEAVY RAIN: from what we have seen this seems to be another game to beat. the visuals from the gameplay trailer shown at GDC were superb. the character models were great but some of the environments didnt look all that. this seems likely to take the throne when its launched next year. it looks to have some very realistic character models and animation in place not seen in any console game yet.

CRYSIS/CRYSIS WARHEAD: obviously these two games are the best looking to date. BUT this is about console graphics king. if the pc was included in the comparison its pretty obvious it will blow the consoles to peices.

thank you for reading. please let me know if i have missed any other games :)

MY PERSONAL ORDER OF THE GAME GOES AS FOLLOWS:

CRYSIS
RESIDENT EVIL 5
KZ2 = GEARS 2
HEAVY RAIN
RESISTENCE 2

You fogot to mention that KZ2 has big booms going on around everywhere :lol:

Gears 2

Then it'll be KZ2

Re5

Then heavy rain

This is the order of the console graphics kings :P

Resident Evi 5 = FarCry 2>KZ2 = Gears2>Resistance 2> Heavy Rain.MojondeVACA

This. Or maybe Far Cry 2 has the slight edge over Res5

Wasn't there another thread this one time that was kinda similar to this one?
I'm just gettin' a weird sense of Deja Vu here....

Resident Evi 5 = FarCry 2>KZ2 = Gears2>Resistance 2> Heavy Rain.MojondeVACA

i actually for once agree with you but i would swap hevay rain and resistence 2 around

there is no such thing as 'unbias'. everyone in this world is bias. even a mother is biased to her children.MightyMuna

umm no. there is such a thing as a 'neutral' party.

if you were a non-gamer you would be neutral = unbias.

if i was being bias i would say all the ps3 games would be the best. :roll:

Crysis > KZ2 > Gears 2 > RE5 > Heavy Rain > Resistance 2

Games just coming I see.

I remember seeing RE5 at E3 thinking it looked amazing, then Gears 2 came on and I remember thinking it looked better than RE5.

im sorry but i still dont see why that = me trying too hard? all everyone does is talk about textures in killzone 2 so i gave the rundown on it.

ok for angelkimne i have added a EDIT note on the gears 2 section talking about textures. i think thats what he is getting at anywaysuperjim42

im sorry but i still dont see why that = me trying too hard? all everyone does is talk about textures in killzone 2 so i gave the rundown on it.

superjim42

From what I've seen it's been the lighting, the enviroments etc. aswell.

And I meant that you were being over-critical of Ps3 exclusives to seem less bias towards Ps3.

ok thats a better explanantion. and actually no i havent been too critical im just saying it how i saw it. neither game from the list is amazingly good looking they all have their flaws im just stating them out cos fanboys dont like to mention flaws in their game of choice.

maybe i didnt put too much detail in the explanations but i will do that now. so it should be more clear

ME2 > RE5 > Gears 2 > FC2 > The Rest.SecretPolice

me2? i didnt know any screenshots or any gameplay content was available yet :roll:

Some people think that Textures is everything. TC your post is simply stating that textures is the end all be all in graphics. Sorry but that just isn't true. Have you ever thought that KZ2's textures are the way they are because there is so much other visual stuff going on? The amount of chaos, and carnage going on such as explosions, particle effects, lighting, amount of enemies onscreen, size of maps, draw distance and really a huge number of things that come into play when talking graphics besides Textures that bring a game to life. And as far as that goes I think KZ2 visiuals bring the game to life way more than what Gears2 is going to get from having great textures. Sorry.

But everyday I look around to see the kind of textures that Gears has and unless I'm in the ocean looking at a Coral Reef, those kind of textures are just not prevalent enough to say that having them in the game to that extent helps bring the game to life cause they don't.

Also having textures like that are pointless if those same GREAT TEXTURES come and go as they please, which the UE is famous for, that alone can take a player right out of the moment. And not only that but if those textures are inconsistant is another issue and that was prevalent in Gears1.

My thoughts are people need to really take a step back and look and see what else is out there besides textures to truly come to the conclusion which game has the best graphics. Textures are only part of the formula at work in the graphics department of a game :)

As I see it KZ2>MGS4>Drakes Fortune>Gears, I have to see what the future holds for RE5, FarCry2, Gears2 to really judge those. From the vids I've seen of KZ2 it will be the king just by the shear power of pulling those graphics off in MP battles aswell as SP. Everyone has already stated many times that Gears2 mp graphics are on the weak side. So then its up to FC2, and RE5 to fight it out with Gears2 for runner up if they can knock off MGS4 and Drakes fortune :)

So because you never seen ME2 material, none have ? :roll: :P

You fogot to mention that KZ2 has big booms going on around everywhere :lol:

Gears 2

Then it'll be KZ2

Re5

Then heavy rain

This is the order of the console graphics kings :P

Not "pulling stuff out of thin air" either. Id say Company of Heroes looks better - and holds up far better than GeOW, let alone a huge amount of games - for its time and now

Most of those games are not yet released,and how can you decide when you didnt actualy play it.

Bullshot pictures and off screen low res videos dont count (not to mention that some companies actualy show PC version of game on max settings and say "this is how console version will look like" which is not true)

if you are indeed referring to mass effect 2 then no you have not seen nothing cos nothing has been released. unless you know someone whose dog knows the cat of the owner of ms whose pet ant knows bioware staff.....ect etc :roll:

All those games have different environment and are unique in their own way

Differences are vary small and not worthy in my opinion

It is not like difference between ps2 and ps3 graphics, that will be worth mentioning

lol your pets werent sp secretive. very easy to figure out :P

and i find it hard to believe im afraid that you have seen me2 in development. without evidence its as good as nothing.

p.s. i seen alan wake in development. went to the remedy studios and it looks rubbish. the pc version is obviously the superior one. xbox360 version looked like crap! also a ps3 version is in development sony managed to find a loophole in ms contract with remedy and managed to get a version sorted out for them! some of us have witnessed it fortunately and all i can say is thank god this game hasnt been launched.....:roll:
