Released Nov. 7, 2006, Gears of War still has not been touched graphically. Not on the 360, and certainly not on the PS3. Lair failed to surpass it, and Uncharted certainly will not (gameplay videos are not nearly Gears quality). Let's wish a big happy birthday to a SYSTEM SELLER (for me personally, combined with the $200 premium at Microcenter deal) and current reigning GRAPHICS KING. Nothing coming out for the rest of the year looks as good as Gears, including AC and COD4.

It's amazing that it can be that good, for this long!

While I think the visuals in Gears are amazing, it isn't the best looking game to date. Obviously Crysis looks better, but there are a few console games that also look better imo.

Like what? Not that I am bashing you (you are always the nice guy), but what else is better? Have you even seen Gears on an HDTV? It's ridiculous.

Gears might technically have the best graphics to date, but Bioshock has a much better artistic style, and so does Oblivion.

I have watched preview video after preview video. THe graphics are not Gears quality. Also, the movement and aiming look really clunky.

In my opinion, both Ratchet and Clank and Uncharted look more impressive, as well as Lair. Heavenly Sword is also up there. I don't understand why people still think GeoW looks graphically superior, it has already been surpassed in my eyes, though it still looks very, very good.

I'm going to say no, because the full version isn't released yet. Also, because I can't freaking edit on gamespot right now, I will add "the REIGNING CONSOLE GRAPHICS KING", because I can't really argue with Crysis once it is released

Released games? Forza 2 had a bigger wow factor for the visuals than Gears did imo. I don't own either but I've played both on a HDTV and they look really nice.

Unreleased: Crysis definitely looks better. UT3 looks a bit better. I think Uncharted looks better too. It really comes down to personal taste though. I'm sure a lot of people think something like R&C or SMG looks better than Gears.

wow....is it a huge coincidence that GEOW on the PC is being released a day before the one year mark?

because then your somewhat wrong...since GEOW on the PC looks noticablly better then the console version.

I would say though...that World In Conflict looks better...even though I know we cant compare them since WIC is an RTS...but WIC impressed me graphiclly far more then GEOW did.

I have all those games and not one looks as good as gears. Anyone else notice the opening cut scene on rc was the best looking scene in the whole game. HS yea the cut scens looked good but gameplay graphics dont touch gears. Gears is still the champ, and noone cares about crisis the PC is in a whole different legue. WE dont get to upgrade our hardware, why do hermits always post things like this?

that's the latest one I watched. It looked no better than the latest Hitman game to me. And did you see that clunky aiming? It looked like MGS aiming- slow and cumbersome and inaccurate.

I recently went back and played some Gears campaign and it is still quite an amazing experience (albiet a rather short one). Graphics are a subjective entity so saying one game is the best is hard but Gears is still a very special game in the graphics department and is still one of my favorite games to play online with friends. I reserved COD4 for 360 today because I love tactical shooters and that one looks pretty sick as well.

how could you think that? the graphics are simply awesome. but i do have to agree with you that the aiming looked a bit clunky. but also, it was obvious that the guy who was playing it was extremely bad :lol:

ATTENTION: Crysis will look better than Gears. Then again, it is a PC game, on crazy max-out systems. I am sure that many other max-out PC games will trounce anything on a console as well. Consoles can't really compete very well with powerful PCs. The graphics war that I am talking about is confined to consoles.

Shame about the gameplay and every other feature of this terribly repetitive game. In my opinion it doesn't even have the best graphics. Crysis and Half Life 2 (episodes aswell), both with destructible environment and nicer draw distance and a larger variation of colour make me prefer them.

Gears Of War is still one of the best, most definitely..sadly Crysis high-spec DX10 looks alot better, a generation better in fact. Gears of War PC should rival Crysis though.

By excluding Crysis and the PC from this thread, you're only admitting how wrong you really are. It's like banning the 7ft tall guy from a game of basketball, just because you know he'd beat you so hard..

gears exploit very small maps to compensate for the 360 hardware limitations. You did not see ratched and clank. It really looks better in many ways, and very colorful. Warhawk Has great graphics + an incredible drawing distance. Gears is the top 360 can do and is already surpassed by the PS3. Noob. Rent a PS3 before posting about something you don't know about. Even lair looks better. Ho, and halo 3 has baig maps, but compensate with a medium definition (not even 720p haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!! )

gears do look superb on the textures and particle effects, but the physics and animations on that game is skewered and the framerate takes an occasional dip at times not to mention that there wasn't ever a time where alot of action was going on at one time in gears and there wasn't any destructible objects also while uncharted have all of this and the particles and texture work to hang with gears, the only thing that is questionable about uncharted is the framerate which can't be decided until we play the retail version. So all in all and sorry to burst your bubble but gears blaring weakness shows big time now thanks to some of the other games that have came out recently

I think Uncharted is both technically and artistically superior to GeoW, but I have only played Gears for a few hours on a high definition TV and of course have not played Uncharted at all. Also I actually believe Oblivions graphics are more impressive since that game has to display and stream a lot of content as oppossed to Gears which is maybe ten on-screen enemies at a time in small, non-dynamic enviroments. But again I like Oblivion a lot more than Gears so I am biased.

technically gears isnt the best, it's a small room shooter with **** all going on screen, hardly any physics and animations makes it outdated, cod4 is out in what a week that will surpass it and R&C looks better not quite as deep textures but the explosions and everything going on screen at once while maintaining amazing graphics at 60FPS is technically more impressive.

I still think that Gears is leading graphically, but Uncharted comes very close, as well as Ratchet, but on a different level.
