Gears 3 and Crysis 2 not even short listed for best graphics at VGA's

Seems these two games which are constantly boatsed as "console graphics kings" didn't even get short listed for best graphics..or best game for that matter.

baffling indeed

very strange..

waits for angry lemming parade saying sony paid them off.

What are the other contenders?

If one of them's MW3, someone in this thread is getting shot.

well it's an obvious travesty

LA NOIRE?

I think I'm going to have to shoot you anyway. Sorry Jim.

so what does this make KZ3? this means Gears is the better shooter, better MP AND equal in graphics?

oh no, the thorn.

[QUOTE="Floppy_Jim"] Uncharted 3, RAGE, Batman......LA Noire. This is an outrage.Floppy_Jim

Cheerio old chap.

BF3 didn't make it either :|

Hmm...odd list!

Crysis 2 doesn't belong on that list. Gears 3 deserves an honourable mention, unlike Gears 2 in 2008 :D

Uncharted 3 should win, if its consoles we're talking about.

But generally, the nominees should go like:

BF3, Shogun 2, The Withcer 2, Uncharted 3 and Gears 3

BF3 winning, ofc.

lol VGA's. The only reason it gets any attention is for the announcements.

Surprised BF3 isn't nominated.

Crysis 2 is simply stunning on consoles and for it not to be nominated is baffling. The night scenes where excellent and considering its a multi platform title makes its achievement more impressive. ccagracing

Can't speak for gears 3. Crysis 2 had nice lighting but this is what I felt like playing the console version:

lol witcher 2 has better graphics than all those combined =/

It's VGA....

Never thought crysis on consoles looked that great, and always felt Gears hid behind a lot of blur.

....and that's why these spike vga's are kind of a joke. Seriously how do they even come up with some of these titles? LA Noire and Batman? Yes they look good but on this list?

Crysis 2 on consoles was OK but vastly overated. Killzone 3 destroys this game graphically. If you don't believe me, check Digital Foundry, which you Lemmings love so much with your heart. Speaking of, where the hell IS Killzone 3 on this list!?chaotzu

Could you please show me where Digital Foundry said Killzone 3 looks better than Crysis 2 on consoles :|

t a game from the same gen is easily in the same ballpark, even the same dug out.cainetao11

I disagree. Some of the best visual games of this gen make others look like last gen games.

Just proves what most people already know...The VGAs are a joke.

No Killzone 3, Battlefield 3 and The Witcher 2 either.

That list blows. Hard.

LA Noire in the running for best graphics? Wha?

Killzone 3 needs to be on that list and so does Gears 3.

Take Uncharted 3 and everything else out, leave Batman in, add Crysis 2 and add the Witcher 2 and BF3.

There's a good list. From a purely graphical standpoint at least.

LA Noire doesn't look bad. But...... I dunno.

It´s a fresh and great game, but graphically? I would say it´s not in the top50 this year.

:lol: Yeah, VGA music, erm, I mean game awards... pfffft. full of cred they are, or ummm, full of something I'm sure. :P

So the VGA's are now the place to go for the highest opinions of games? Really cows, it's either IGN or this. Sad really.

OP do you actually take the VGAs seriously?

I don't understand how LA Noire is even in there.nightshade869

Probably only because they feel they need to at least have R* run for something....is COD nominated for anything?

The VGA's give out awards? I thought they just debuted trailers.
