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

Outside the character models...not really.

Uncharted 2

I loved RE5, but it wasn't the best looking game, and still isn't. It's strengths were in character models, which is essentially what your entire post is based on. Outside of that, it wasn't exceptional.

[QUOTE="JangoWuzHere"]

[QUOTE="Slambo86"]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. Slambo86

And KZ's aren't? seriously RE5 is very good at pretty much everything including environmental textures.

Thats not true. The textures in KZ2 lack alot of detail in alot of areas. the blur in the game trys to cover this up alot.

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

[QUOTE="Slambo86"] 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.

your obvuisly a killzone fanboy, just look at your pathetic sig

KZ2 is one of the blurrest games ever made, and it looks even bluurier in motion

Killzone 2 quite clearly looks better.

looks pretty sharp in these screens to me (but these are screen grabs from the new map pack trailer i think, are they in game?)

Oh wow where did you get those screenshots for the PS3? Is that even with HDMI?

I'm sitting here right now with RE5 turned on at the same location (chapter 1-1 just before the ledge where you drop off), and I can tell several glaring differences: the buttons on the sheath of the knife is non-existent in the shot, yet I can see it on my TV, the textures of Chris' short sleeve more resembles the left side (I can see each of the little bumps), and the hair is not a blurred mess like the right side.

Are you sure those are not screenshots from demo or something?

in be4 hermits cry "crysis!"

anyways, RE5 is 2nd place in graphics. killzone 2 is better. i thought that this was resolved a long time ago.

SilverChimera

For consoles, the answer is quite obvious to anyone that's ever played Killzone 2.

i got bored playing RE5 on chapter 5 onwards.. c'mon a zombie with a gatling gun?? :lol:

Don't you just love fanboys who goggles these pics and assume they're the real thing, without having experience with both versions?

I was gonna say the same thing. RE5 DOES NOT look like that on my PS3. It looks like they're taking a low res shot for the ps3 and a high res 1 for the 360. If you believe that comparison is accurate, well, there's just no helping you. games running side by side, at the same resolution, in the same spot, and on the same tv would have very little differences. most people wouldn't even be able to tell with the screens side by side.

Stop posting bullshots.

As for being on topic. KZ 2 looks better imo for 1 reason. I like the coloring better. in RE5 everything is this sunny yellow mess. while in KZ2 everything is a blue darker mess. The blue is better on the eyes, imo.

Resident Evil 5 is definately looker, but I think it's edged out of 1st by KZ2.... KZ2, though I've never played the game myself seems more ambitious in its effects, lighting, etc.

I think Lost Planet 2 might take the #1 place for visuals on consoles when it releases..... but who knows, there might be another contender I don't know about..... Alan Wake, maybe... or something else we don't even know about yet.

Not sure what you're getting at, but compare your screenshot against the PS3 one the other guy posted and you can see a world of difference. Not claiming which one's the superior version, but a lot of people who say the 360 has the better version usually post bullshots to back it up, thereby losing all credibility.

TC, you have only experienced RE5's best visual parts, and K2's worst (if you only played the demo of Killzone 2, you havne't seen what the game can put out).

The last few chapters on RE5 are just bad. The environments are just lazy and are not inspiring at all, while chapter 3 + on Kllzone are some of the best visuals you will see on a console game thus far. Plus, there is a hell of a lot more action happening in Killzone than RE5, so I'd have to say Killzone win visually and technically.

I don't really find RE5 or KZ2 to be that impressive looking. Textures in KZ2 aren't great and Environments in RE5 feel very static. I'm just spoiled by the PC though.AAllxxjjnn

^^ For which game? If you are referring to Killzone 2, I felt there was a great mix of indoor and outdoor level design. The first couple levels seemed a little hazy for me ,but the rest of the game stood out.

*Possible spoiler warning*

If you are referring to RE5's last few chapters, than yes, I didn't care for them at all. I will say I was impressed with the Ruins in RE5, but other than that, I didn't like the whole factory levels. Most of the design for the levels were random pieces of cover to turn the game into a (poorly executed) Gears of War type game. Not to mention the level on Wesker's ship...didn't care for it, but it could just be me.

Yeah the indoor levels were a little bit claustrophobic, and the duck behind cover deal combined with the tank-like movement system of RE (which I like) makes for some awkward moments. Not to mention one of the "harder" boss is in that area.

RE5 = better screenshots

KZ2 = best graphics while actually playing.

A plethora of PC games make this argument rather moot.

It does look quite good.

Pity thats the only thing which is good about it.

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

Aljosa23

nah, KZ2 looks better. all re5 has going for it are the character models and some good textures here and there.
