And the most beautiful game so far this gen is.......

Naruto: Rise of a Ninja. i know it doesnt have the extreme realism of other games, but the art style is phenomenal. cell shaded characters, realistic water, semi-cell shaded town, it all combines to create one visually stunning game.

NOTE: i personally hate anime, i've never watched an episode of naruto or pokemon or whatever in my 20 years of existence. but this game looks (and from the videos, plays) like an amazing game. betting 8.5 on GS

i

I really like the look of the city on this one

I still prefer Zelda: WW.XenoNinja

I imagine that you haven't played Eternal Sonata yet. Best looking sewers I've ever seen :)

[QUOTE="XenoNinja"]I still prefer Zelda: WW.Awinagainov

Yeah, the water looks way better. I wish WW's water was like that.

WTF XenoNinja? No "yeah, Naruto looks almost as good as Golden Eye for N64" comments? You are losing your touch...

I think R&C looks better, but thats my opinion. And as for cell shaded, Budokai Tenkaichi games really took cell shading to the next level :D-Serpahim-

Dude, the old XenoNinja was the best man. Your comments always made me laugh :lol: I luv how someone would spend 3 hrs making a Crysis graphics thread and u would come in and say "ok man, we get it. Crysis looks almost as good as Resident Evil 4 for gamecube."

the dragonball games for PS2. You should really check out the graphics in this order to see the drastic improvements with each game:

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai - not cell shaded.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 - first attempt at cell shading. its ok.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 - awesome cell shading...didnt think it could get any better.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi - some of the most amazing cell shading u will ever see in a game.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 - decent improvements to cell shading, but the special effects inproved 10 fold.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 - Havent played it but, if the transformation animations are anything to go by, this game is gonna be freaking awesome graphics wise.

This is what i don't understand...why in GODS name isn't DBZ: T3 on the 360 or PS3!??? #

Oh and Naruto looks nice but dude....go play ETERNAL SONATA.

No matter how many times I see this game; from the word go it reminds me of the old Sega - and that is a good thing.

I don't know how the game play is but if it plays anything like it looks - it's a winner ! :)

Kratos_OMEGA

i think its cuz it would be sort of a waste. I mean look at the naruto X360 cell shaded graphics, they dont look any better than Budokai Tenkaichi 2. Sure the background looks about 100x better, but in a game of dragonball, the background graphics arent all that important. If you see all the games, the backgrounds are slightly above average, nothing special but it gets the job done.

Now what i would have really wanted in Budokai Tenkaichi 3 would have been:

-4 player battles. Come on, its DBZ! Most of the battles take place between multiple characters, i wish they would do this for the games, although i do understand that it could cause some gameplay problems.

-Online games. If you could play the Tenkaichi games online, it would make the game 100x better. I mean it would be so freaking insane. And it would be great if they had a spectator mode to go along with it!

-Destructable Environment. Sure the environment is psuedo-destructable, but i want it to be non-scripted destructable like in far cry and i hear crysis too. I remember in farcray if you shot a rocket launcher at the ground it left a crater (unless there was a tree next to it). That would be awesome for a DBZ game and they can make it more impressive considering the levels are far smaller.

Proper Story mode. I know they are trying, but i want a story mode like the dragon ball snes rpg game. I want to have a big world, not that "i can fly around the map in 2 seconds" trash. give me sumthing like the final fantasy 7 map. i want there to be quests u can do and all that jazz. heck they can even revert to the age old random battles of RPGs...i just want a full single player DBZ experience. and maybe they can work on the little movies inbetween fights because those things are about as boring as KOTOR cutscenes and thats BORING. (10 minutes of pressing "X" while you watch the characters stand in the same position jabbering on an on..."

Spaceforce. If I have time I will take a better screenshot. The game is big and beautiful.

It's a good style, but I personally think Okami beats it dead. And it's a last-gen PS2 game.

Rez & Shadow of the Colossus are also good contenders in their different ways.

There are some ones I spent more time taking. Looks even better in motion of course and although it's technically good it's the artwork that make it look great.
