Uncharted 3 has the best graphics on consoles. Yeah BF3 looks good on PC with high settings, but most people will not be playing it that way.

I think BF3 will be garbage yet it's clear even to me the graphics are second-to-none at this point.

Even though BF3 won at GS, UC3 is still the runner up and the rest aren't even close.

I wasn't talking about gears 3, I was talking about the engine in general which is outdated so no I don't think it will use that tech. The engine itself is not outdated.

GS doesn't give a runner up. Those are the user votes. Gears 3 is close, but UC3 has the edge imo. Bioshock Infinite on PC will probably look better than UC3, and as another user said Farcry 3. Actually there are a bunch of games that are close imo.

Presumably, it was NOT a tech graphics only award!

Hence, their saying "A flawless cocktail of ART, physics, and tech..." in explaining why Uncharted won. I still wouldn't agree, but its not the "OMG! Failz, we all know its BF3 or ANY PC game" moment you guys are making it out to be.This was simply an award for the game that made the best visual impression to them, and they clearly took relative power of the platforms into account and said as much (not in so many words). It was not an award for the game that had the greatest draw distance or an award for the greatest polygon counts. Its an entirely subjective matter (it would be entirely subjective even if it were an overall tech graphics award, but that's another matter).

Gametrailers has a long reputation of giving technical awards to games that are consistently smoked by their competion (I mean, Crysis, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and ArmA III never get the technical awards in that joke site).

Probably they like to troll to increase the visitors at their site, but probably at this moment no one cares about what GT thinks about graphics. People just read in Beyond3D or Digital Foundry when they want a rational and logic text about visuals and so...

Are you serious about using this as evidence? BF3 on PC, Bioshock, FC3 and Metro all clearly looked better in graphics than UC3. But it still won. Or wait, are you trying to say that because GeOW 3 didn't get nominated by such a biased and unprofessional site that means it suxors?

They probably don't count the PC version,most of the sites don't count PC games because they know is a given that it will look better,also maybe uncharted 3 graphics are more impressive coming out of the PS3,than BF3 coming out of a PC,because of how out dated the PS3 hardware is.

Uncharted 3 demo looked beautiful indeed but after the beta, it´s safe to say that Gears 3 will look at least as good. Overall the best looking game was obviously Battlefield 3 on PC.

From what i see of Gears it doesn't look better,doesn't have the same attention to detail that Uncharted 3 has,alto Gears 3 is like the top dog on 360. But BF3 should have won if what i posted before wasn't the case,BF3 on PC look wicked sick..

Gears3 is on UE3.5, Samaritan was on UE3.971. Gears isn't old enough to have been on the same engine in the first place.

GT are renowned Uncharted fanboys. Its almost vomit worthy. But they never seemed excited for BF3 during the whole E3 coverage anyway. They don't like PC gaming because somehow they never seem to be able to run anything maxed. Its like they don't have a dedicated PC department to review PC games.

Also the video should have been named "Best Visuals" or something because graphics are the tech powering the visuals you see. Not the artistry or what looks good in one person's opinion. GT are fail

They must be looking at the art also. Yeah BF3 looks incredible, but is just another game trying to look like real life. No real art style behind it. Uncharted 3 has a somewhat cartoony twist in it, and is much more pleasing to look at. For me at least.

Gametrailers is a joke probably the most console centric site out there, thoughout discussing BF3 all that douche Geoff Keighly kept saying its sad we haven't seen any console footage completly dismissing the game just because it was PC footage. They have been naming games graphics kings when they are really just console graphics kings, which doesnt matter at all. Take a look at their crysis review, what a joke they were playing it at at low settings no wonder crysis was never given best graphics by them.

GT like most gaming sites don't pay much attention to PC games cause they are stuck in the whole idea that you need a supercomputer to run it.
