I agree completely, there are console games which look just as good. Most of the time, the PC version of games add nothing outside of beetter AA and better resolution. People act like the game is completely overhauled or something and its not. However, you can't even argue with people that Uncharted 3/Halo 4 looks as good as the PC version of Fear 2 around here. Why? Because its on PC. Go figure lol. I think the consensus here is that you have to say PC>>>all or youre considered a fanboy, even by Cows/Lems. Thus, people are afraid to really say what they feel. One guy actually said the PC version of Tomb Raider Legend looks better than UC2 :lol:

Do you even know what the award is about ?

It's technical to the system limitation... not the best graphic. How the heck could console win anything when they don't even do full HD ?

We use GS scores so we have a uniform standard. Graphics are a bit different. GS has their own view of what 'technical graphics' are. Thankfully we all have eyes and can determine this on our own. If you honestly believe the PC hasn't had a game released with better technical graphics than any console game every year, you are beyond delusional.

those awards are more of a tribute to the devs than the systems they are on...

I didnt realize what I was missing till I saw games running on a nice rig, it even makes older games look fantastic.

Lol, if anything PC graphics are massively underestimated by loads of clueless consolites who base their opinion on compressed Youtube videos. Basically, many idiots arguing in these forums don't even have capable enough hardware at home to experience PC graphics.

Deal with it, PC gaming makes console graphics look like crap, even the so-called "console graphics kings" :lol:

This is correct, and while I don't agree entirely with such a model, I can see where GS is coming from, gives consoles a fighting chance against the PC heavy hitters. In a way, it's good, makes sure skilled console developers get some recognition for doing a great work under severe limitations, but in a way, it's also bad, since some dumbasses like the TC interpret it completely wrong... :P

This is a joke, Consoles have overstayed their welcome, as much as I like them, their limitations are putting a burden on developers and forcing them to make smaller, corridor type games to push get the most out of the hardware.

Tales of Xillia, a JRPG for PS3 next year. Ufotable (animation team) is responsible for Fate/Zero though as ToX doesn't look nearly as good in-game.

If what you are saying is true "PC Graphics are overrated" then everyone should have stayed with a 8800GTX(from 2006) that already play games with better graphics and performance than consoles.

Ah, thought you meant the original Crysis was the only game to win for the PC. Saw now that you meant series. Regardless, you don't think Crysis Warhead technically had better graphics than MGS4? Even Arkham Asylum and RE5 had better graphics on PC than Uncharted 2 had. There are many examples as to why this award obviously doesn't recognize the best technical graphics of any platform. The PC would win every year. The PS3 and 360 logically aren't capable of producing graphics that some PCs can with $400 GPUs today. If so, they would have cost thousands of dollars nearly a decade ago.

Gamespot like to factor in how terrible console hardware is.

It's sort of sympathetic to consoles. Like giving easier work to the stupid kids at school.

TC, here is your link:

http://www.gamespot.com/best-of-2011-special/awards/index.html?page=4

Performance, platform, and many other factors were considered before we decided which game blew us away with its sheer visual prowess.

It's not just based on what is 'technically' the best.

It says platform is considered. What else could that possibly mean? Regardless if we exercise common sense here, I've already shown examples of this award not depending upon 'technical graphics'. Beyond this there's not much else I can do besides let you believe what you will.
