I hope PS3 fans do not hype it as such anymore.....after playing the demo ( which I loved! ) the faces and the facial animations are the only thing worth mentioning....FNR4 has better character models than this game.

I gotta admit the demo impressed the **** out of me. I honestly didn't expect it to look so good, I think it's an easy contender, full game will give a better picture.

its one of the most eye pleasing games i have played and on Par with Uncharted.

The thing is when it comes to sports games they are extremely restrictive and actually dont need to calculate as much as say a game like uncharted or to an extent heavy rain even tho both are limited games they arent AS limited and thus technically they are better.

because 360/PS3 owners like tocompare graphics all the time...two pretty evenly matched consoles power wise so what's wrong with it...just like GS likes to mention console exclusive.....console graphics king and console exclusives both exist

FNR4 looks really good and it should because it is a boxing game. They only have put the power into 2 character models a square ring and low-res crowd models. The scenery does not change, other than boxers faces getting messed up.

Heavy Rain has more varied environments and the crowds(at the mall) look better than the crowds in FNR4.

FNR4 is one of my favorite games and I am not bagging on it at all.

Saying the best looking title so far on a particular system doesn't imply graphics king, and I don't think a single person has call it as such here.

Something to argue about. There really is no point including PC because it'll always have the best looking games, so when it comes to discussions what's the point in including it?

I would have to agree. When ever a console fanboy brings up the 10 rating a game on a conole game gets, hermits play the standards game. It's not shady when every side plays by the same rules. every group here is shady and that's what system wars is.

True, but why can't people compare games just on consoles? Not every graphics comparison thread should have to involve or mention Crysis.

It's not like "console graphics king" is a new term or anything made up by the TC... It's been around for years now.

CaseyWegner
What's the "point" of any number of System Wars topics? Obviously people post "console graphics king" stuff because there is clearly a difference between PCs and consoles, whether or not you will choose to see things this way. If he had worded it "best graphics on consoles" would that have been ok? On topic, I don't think there is any debate, there are many games that look better than Heavy Rain. Uncharted 2, Mass 2, Killzone 2 come to mind, I even think Gears 2 beats it in a lot of areas and RE5's character models are more detailed. It's a unique-looking game, and it does look good, but doesn't really live up to the bullshots that first came out for it. I will still be picking it up because it looks interesting and I want to see how they handle some of the themes and gameplay elements.

I gotta say that Uncharted 2 impressed me more than HR. I did like the gameplay mechanics although they did take some time to get used to.

I think Resident Evil 5 has some of the best character models in any console game; but as for the environments, I think Uncharted 2 has the edge.

Still they're both great looking games and they both beat Heavy Rain.

Becuase graphics king implies a system's power, consoles are static and stay the same so measuring their power has some relevance, PC's are interchangeable and upgradable, making them a moot point with power.

I honestly think Fight Night Round 4 can look better than it does considering the insanely tiny scale. But it does look gorgeous! Technically, there are console games that are much more impressive IMO.

Pretty much this. Back on topic. I think Heavy Rain looks great and is one of the best looking games this gen on consoles but there are still others out there who beat it.

I think it looks good enough but I was hoping it would look like it's using all of the PS3s power.
