Graphics Deities!!!

Just like the Ancient Greeks has many gods for different domains/aspects of live, there should be many gods for different aspects of graphics instead an all-powerful graphics god. Let's face it, no game is the best in all graphical aspects.

So, it should be like this:

Graphics God of Lighting/Illumination

Graphics God of Shadow

Graphics God of Polygon

Graphics God of Draw Distance

Graphics God of Texture

Graphics God of Particle

Graphics God of Volumetric Object

Graphics God of Scale

etc.

This is better as it avoids many flame wars by having only one game as all-reigning king,lord, whatever.

We all know that some games are better at some aspects, and some are better at other aspects.

It just happens that Crysis is the bar in many aspects, but I am sure not all aspects go to Crysis.

For Instance, I think Metro 2033 (PC) has better particle effects.

Why over complicate it?soulitane

So its more appropriate.

PC wins in all sections. AAllxxjjnn

Ummmmmmm

Crysis

Done. All categories :P.

Whatever it is, Crysis doesn't win as it lost to Uncharted 2 long ago.

nah jk

[spoiler] or maybe not :o [/spoiler]

Ummmmmmm

Crysis

Graphics God of Nathan Drake: Uncharted 2.

BTW, I will say that the Pants King is Zelda SS.

I personally think Arma II has the best lighting, but I guess it's more of opinion since I like the realistic look to it.

Well Crysis still wins in quite a few of those categories. The only ones I dont think it would win in are Scale and Draw Distance, which should go to ArmA 2. Iantheone

to me reach is graphics kind of Skyboxes, metro, for particles and crysis fo reverything else, WE ALL WIN!!! :)

I used this mod for Crysis and I was absolutely floored by the particle effects. Metro might have better subtle effects, so I don't think they can be compared to an extent.

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"][QUOTE="Ravenchrome"] Because a game might have better models, etc but the other might have better lighting, shadow,etc.

So its more appropriate.

[QUOTE="hypoty"]

[QUOTE="Ravenchrome"] I disagree, Crysis might be the God of scale and texture but I think Metro 2033 is the God of Particle Effects.

Yes they are, but like I said... once you start going into mod, you stop talking about the game itself and start referring to the engine's capabilities. Last I checked this was about the games themselves and not about how 1337 the engine is.

Amazing! Especially at 3:35 :D

All/most graphics thread turns into a Crysis thread :P I just noticed the pattern.

When do we get to sacrifice bulls to these gods?

This is super lame. There is only one "graphics king" and that is crysis. Even then the title of graphics king is silly and pointless because graphics is not what makes a game and it seems dumb to call a game a graphics king. Its sillier to add "kings" for different things that honestly is just a pathetic attempt at getting a "win". However when it comes down to it this whole arguing over which console is better is pathetic. People complain about govt beeing just a bunch of loud mouth idiots, when oh hey guess what its the same type of people just arguing over different things on these forums

[QUOTE="oldkingallant"][QUOTE="Mystic-G"] I think we're better off not including mods. When you include mods, you stop referring to the game and start referring to the engine it's running on. And engine's can't be crowned when you're talking about the games themselves.Mystic-G
