So, as the current generation of consoles embrace their twilight years, here we vote to find out which game is likely to represent the pinnacle of graphics achievment from our beloved PS3 and Xbox360. Game candidates can be anything from the start of this gen to the lattest showing of E3 2012, but remember this is exclusively for consoles, no PC games or multiplatforms running on a PC, so when you choose, please use medias represent the console build only.

Since some lemmings claim this to be a troll poll so I updated it slightly which is now more true to reality.

So, My personal candidate for CGKOTG "Console Graphics King of the Generation" is God of War Ascension. The reason is simple, SSM has improved on everything from GOW3 "arguably the best looking console game by many" including lighting, blend animation, textures, cloth tech, hair and physics, what's shown in E3 looked amazing and their titan gameplay should be insanely pretty once we see them. GOW has always been about over the top epic setpieces and this would maximize the graphical awe on top of the technical brilliance. Show me what's yours:).

I finally got myself an HD tv last month (I know I'm late) and the game that improved the most by far in the visuals department was Rayman Origins. I'd have to say that's the most visually stunning game I've seen this gen and it runs in 1080p at 60 fps

I gotta agree, Rayman Origins on consoles is superb. Now imagine PC gaming... all games in 1080p @ 60+fps

Castlevania Lords of Shadow

Halo 4 (looks like)

DMC

Witcher 2

UC2 (3 is not as impressive)

KZ3

Out of those I'd go with Castlevania because of the variety and overall detail, can't wait to see what LOS2 looks like.

GOW: Ascension, Beyond Two Souls, and Last of Us are all looking spectacular! You couldn't go wrong with either pick! The soon to be, 3 best looking games of this generation, when its said and done (as far as I'm concerned) Gears of War 3 doesn't belong any where near that list however. The OP probably just included Gears 3 along side the big boys to throw disgruntled lems a bone(out of pitty)

the poll...we are using games that aren't released now? I thought sony fans would know better than that.

if we have learned anything from xbox fans it's that we can't make declarations on the final outcome of graphics before release. or it could be that some of those guys are really desperate to hype anyting to be better than PS3 top contenders.

Either way you shouldn't lable "best looking comsole game..." on games that haven't released yet. They may be as impressive as they appear to be now or they could turn out like Alan Wake and RAGE.

Uncharted 2 (PS3), The Witcher 2 (PC), Gears Of War 3 (360). Honorable mentions: Rayman Origins, Lords Of Shadow, tomorrow i might change my opinion, it depends on what impresses me the most.TheGuardian03

Mine is only slightly different GOW3 (PS3) the rest same for the other platforms.

If we are talking about games that have been released, then Uncharted 3. There is nothing else out on consoles right now, that reaches the over all quality of Uncharted 3. Uncharted 3: -best animations of any platform -some of the best lighting on consoles -insanely detailed character models -stunning environments -best water graphics, and water physics I have ever seen in a console game -not only is U3 a technical beast under the hood, but it has the pleasing art style to match. As a whole, there is nothing on consoles that shines as bright as Uncharted does graphically. Of course the Last of Us is going to change all that when it releases though

Voted for The Last of Us, since Naughty Dog are the only console devs that have impressed me visually, with the exception of maybe Square.

Why u list games that are not out !? >_<

Im going to go with God of War III. An odd choice Im sure and the game is inconsistent but at its best it truly is a picture come to life. Not realistic but artistically breath-taking, and I truly feel SSM will put all the stops in making GOWA the most gorgeous looking game on consoles.

How about we wait until these games come out first? If unreleased can be counted, then the issues some games have, like screen tearing, have to count, because we dont know how Ascension or Last of Us will perform.

Idk. Portal 2, Galaxy 2, Mirror's Edge. Something along those lines.

None of that photo realistic crap in the OP.

The irony here is that none of the those games are photo realistic... very few games actually go for a photo realistic look.. crysis doesn't even do it anymore.

Killzone 3 should be on that list, probably in place of Gears 3. Anyway, I'd probably go with The Last of Us.

Many of those games aren't even out yet. Not sure how I could judge their graphics... Arguing about graphics on consoles is kind of silly though, and I say this as someone who doesn't even own a PC that can play most games.

I bet none of the games in the poll are gonna look as good as they seem. It's the case with every game released this gen, they show awesome graphics in screen shots and trailer and it turns out to be crap. Even the Luminous Engine tech demo which is supposedly in real time is fake, it's simply CGI. Only Battlefield 3 on PC has yet to disappoint.

Rage with full installation running at 60fps. After that, Uncharted 3, Gears 3, and Forza 4.

Any console graphics conversation that doesn't include Crysis 2 is incomplete.

seems complete to me, Crysis 2 wasn't anything top tier visually and had below average performance to boot.

Anyone who answers Gears are people who don't have a PS3. The game looks good, it looks great, but it's not anywhere close to matching those PS3 games. Everyone but the most delusional Xbox fanboy would agree.

Killzone should have been in your poll btw, that looks jaw dropping, and it plays as great as it looks!

Crysis on consoles was very diffferent from the PC version graphically, a lot of people seem to think that it showed off console powers, but the truth is it doesn't. It wasn't anything like the PC version graphically.

Someone is mad because they don't have a PS3. Have you seen it in action? Did you watch the gameplay video? Obviously not.

Here you can see it for yourself:

The Last of Us E3 2012 Gameplay Walkthrough [HD]

Amazing how much power the PS3 still has, it looks better than Uncharted 3, and some people said that it maxed out the PS3. They were wrong obviously, as this game proves. I wonder why the 360 has nothing to compete with it? Probably becasue it can't handle it.

They did say that, but they later said they were wrong when they started working on TLOU and found out just how much power the PS3 has. That screen the otherguy showed is captured from the E3 one, not a private one. He is just a pissed off hermit.

Here is a real shot from The Last of Us. RyviusARC

Cows can never handle the reality of direct feed shots. That looks on par with Crysis 2 and Gears 3, and is the pinnacle of ND's abilities on the PS3.

Though the game looks on par with Crysis 2 and Gears 3 now, let's not forget that they have many months to tighten up the visuals. Same with UNcharted 3, or Gears 3.
