And the best looking game of 2011 goes to : The Witcher 2. (56k)

nope, that goes to shogun 2. it is the best technically and great artistically.

It goes to...

Rayman Origins.

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"][QUOTE="Peredith"]

Kaffarof, A Rock And a Hard Place (barely looks better than Bad Company 2), Fear No Evil and Night Shift look average at best. And the character models look like crap.

Peredith

As opposed to games like Crysis 2, Witcher 2, Shogun 2, it looks worse. Looks like COD but with eye meltingly bright lens flares. (is Night Shift the mission where you have to plant claymores and protect AlBasheer?)

Yeah i'm definitely going to get the game this year. From what i've seen it looks better (in every area) than any game this year. I have a soft spot for Rayman :P Rayman 2 was amazing.

And well the title just says best looking game, if he had said most technical I would've posted another game.

Didn't impress me in the slightest. :| Looked like any other game out there.

TW2 would be king if you judged tech and art. Skyward Sword for art while BF3 would definitely be tech.

Must've played the crap version/consoles then.

Nope, PC ultra settings (HD6970). It looks good, but not OMG good. Even Rage impressed me more.

I know what these threads are about, i've been here forever.

I just posted Rayman because *technically* the title says nothing about graphics. So I just went with it.

BTW, I think the art of Skyward sword is great too but some of the characters are just flat out ugly. Like Fabulous Debbie. D:

:P

Hahahaha no, and I'm a big RAGE fan.

the moment you start judging art, tech becomes irrelevant, because half of the discussion becomes purely subjective, meaning one side can compensate another. and people seem to underestimate the power needed to have sprites that high-res, moving that smoothly.BrunoBRS

So...you need like a calculator to run those right? :P

Surely if you have a PC you could take your own shot of the game instead of posting someone else's blown-up shot.

.... Rage looks better imo.

Gotta love those uber-low res unique textures.

Rather have incredibly (if lowres) varied and detailed enviroments then sterile repeated textures that appear comletely white most of the time. :roll:

Peredith, post better screens man, lol:

Yes sometimes Battlefield 3 looks jawdropping, but at times it looks meh. I think Rage is far more consistant. Rage is very underraged visually. One time I took 20 minutes trying to find repeated textures but couldn't :o. The textures might be low res up close, but stand back (quite a bit :P), and the amount of detail Rage includes in a single screen beats any game imo. I think BF3 graphics are waaay overrated, :)

-edit- Try find a repeating texture in that Rage Subway pic. I can't. :P

I agree, the Witcher 2 does look better. But it isn't "leaps above" or "miles ahead". They are pretty close.

I agree with you tc. Guess I'll throw my own pics in the fray like everyone else:

I love the Witcher 2, for me it was the most impressive game visually. But i think BF3 takes the technical graphics still. If i had to choose campaign between those games it would be TW2, but i love BF3 multiplayer.

I think Rage looks beautiful, and just like you, I understand the game is to be taken as a whole, and not scrutinized for the smallest details. That's not the problem, however. I also noticed that in that Skyrim thread, you bashed Skyrim for looking bad at the smallest level, when that game, like Rage, is suppose to be taken as a whole, but even more so.

Now I understand the shortcomings of Battlefield 3's graphics in the way you've stated, in the same manner I understand the issues you had talked about with Skyrim. Instead of being measured criticism though, it looks really hokey by blowing it out of proportion and making a scene of it. It's as if you're twisting the argument to fit your agenda. Anyone can see that Battlefield 3 looks insanely good, no matter what shortcuts it took here and there (this is coming from a person who personally dislikes Battlefield 3).

I only bring this up coz I use to do the exact same thing back in the day lol.

100% agree, Witcher 2 on xbox 360 will be graphics king by miles

Also some of the best art on consoles too indeed

You sure do appreciate it when you play it then play Skyrim. Anyways, I think BF3 has the best technical graphics. Heil68

It's a shame Skyrim looks like a poop in comparison and runs like a constipated poop in comparison.

Too bad it'll look like ass in comparison to the PC version.

Technically Crysis 2 has better graphics than BF3.-Unreal-

Yep. Those tessellated covers that look exactly the same non-tessellated are so superior. At least it uses POM even though it isn't a DX11 feature :P

Looks like Call of Duty with more/better post-processing tbh.

EDIT: or upgraded Bad Company 2 if you will.

What about them? Looks like Bad Compnay 2 with some extra post-processing effects and tessellation thrown in there :P

Shogun 2 wins technically, not even up for debate

BF3 doesnt look better than Crysis 2, or Crysis 1

Too bad they're not making it for the Wii-U. Imagine such graphics. Now that would be the graphics king hands down :)

Some beautiful games this year on PC.

- The Witcher 2

- Total War Shogun 2

- BF3

- Rage

Rofl.:P Nope.

GS will likely give the award to BF3 due to the hype, but I better see nominations for The Witcher 2 and Shogun 2 when it comes time for graphics awards.

I honestly don't think it looks very good.

Metro 2033 and Stalker COP didnt even get nominated last year for graphics...

Trust me, still screenshots don't do the TW2 justice
