It wouldn't be much of a stretch to call Resident Evil 5 the best looking game.

Best looking console game. I couldn't fit it in the topic title.

Listen, I have never, ever made a topic about technical graphics before. But really, whenever I see a debate between which game has the best graphics, I don't see Resident Evil 5 brought up as much. I mean, the game looks really damn good. The large scale is so impressive, and everything is detailed as hell. Chris Redfield's shirt is amazing. If you think the developers didn't care about this game and were just trying to cash inon Resident Evil 4's success, just look at Chris' shirt to be proven wrong. BioShockOwnz agrees with me.

Forget the jacket, forget the leaves; just look at the shirt!

Killzone 2 is an amazing looking game, too. But that one part in chapter 2 where you look off that giant cliff was amazing! Everything was so beautiful. Saying Killzone 2 would be a legitament response, if you never bothered checking out the shirt. Compare that to any other character. Goddamn, Chris is sexy!

I think people judge the graphics all around, not just character models, though that's the biggest strength with RE5.

Everything else is gorgeous. I just think the character models are the ones that stand out the most. Also, that boat scene at the beginning of the game. Some areas just look amazing, and are so big. Other parts aren't as impressive. I'm only on Chapter 5-1 right now. I just got the game yesterday.

RE5 is the best looking. I prefer my games to be clean and crisp not filled with blur that covers the garbage textures.

Haha, I do. I've played both games, and RE5 definately has awesome character models. I just really dig what KZ2 does visually.

The cutscenes are by far the most amazing looking in engine realtime cutscenes ive ever seen! Textures, animations, little touches, camera angles, its all there.

But the gameplay, i don't know, the levels feel quite static and the colour just seems abit off.Id say Farcry 2 looks better for the actual gameplay on a console and its set in Africa so its the closest comparison i can think of.

Maybe it was because I was playing the PS3 version, but when I played the RE5 demo, I wasn't impressed at all. There was something about the art design that I just didn't like. I think Killzone 2 is the best looking console game out there.

Na, KZ2 is a lot more impressive tech wise, particle effects, physics, special fx, lighting, alot more stuff going on. Not to mention it looks just as amazing in MP and RE5 simple coop looks downgraded. It's one thing to like a game more cause it's more your "style" but tech wise I really don't see how RE5 outdoes KZ2.

That's why the TC said technical graphics. I think RE5 may look better... but Killzone 2 is still better technically, just because it has a lot more action going on in the game. I haven't played enough of Killzone 2 to actually make a final judgement, but I do know that RE5 on 360 had some framerate problems, especially during the tornado thing the final boss did. Honestly, I think most of the console games look like crap from a technical perspective, with jaggies everywhere and low grade textures, but I'm also spoiled by my PC. I was playing the Infamous demo just a bit ago, and while it's actually a pretty fun game, the graphics are a mess.

Awfully looking water and some last-gen textures that scream Resident Evil 4 so much... Resident Evil 5's graphics are truly overrated. Some aspects of it are note-worthy, but overall it isn't as impressive as many tend to blindly hype.

Chris' and Shiva's models are great. However the enemies and the environment are rather lackluster in comparison. Low-res textures, low-poly models, etc. Plus they're not dynamic at all, so there's really no excuse there.

Technically, I really couldn't say. I played RE5 on the Xbox 360 and I found the overall look of it to be slightly more consistently impressive than KZ2. It's extremely clean looking with highly detailed textures, amazing bosses and I never noticed any slowdown. KZ2 has really nice lighting, especially in the latter stages. Out of the best looking console games I've played - Uncharted, KZ2, Gears of War 2, RE5, it's hard to pick which looks better than which, but I feel RE5 tops the list by a tinsy bit.

I only played the Killzone 2 demo. I don't have any interest in getting the full game, but I do admit that the part where you first play outside was highly impressive. But then you went into that ugly facility, and it wasn't as good. Still, the graphics and other effects do an excellent job of making you feel like you are part of the war. It's immersive for the people that enjoy that kind of stuff.

lets nit pick, shall we? Character model-wise....SURE, but thats because the enviromental textures are horrible, when viewed up close...NO bump mapping, I'm talking RE4 like textures. You won't see textures like Gears/K2/uncharted. When you say best looking you should consider everything, and those games are K2, Uncharted, Gears 2. bioshock...etc.

Most of the time K2 shows high detailed bump mapped textures, along with the natural low rez ones here and there..but RE5 has NONE of those detailed one, just flat blurry ones. Capcom as usual put most of the effort on the characters. Reason being they look so good.

:lol: you haven't played KZ2 have you cuz if you did you would know that most textures except the ground are flat and ugly,

KZ2's amazing graphics comes from other elements, not textures

and I don't know what version you played but RE5 does have bump mapping, and good textures
