I have always wondered what proper PC gamers think about console games. Which console games do you think actually look pretty good? Considering the limitations of the systems

Most console games look good, most PC gamers aren't graphic whores. Gameplay>graphics

Uncharted 2, Killzone 2/3, Gears of War 2/3 are playable decent looking. Of course I'm playing on my 1920 x 1080 monitor so they look ugly and blurry anyways...well super bad when compared to native 1080p game on my PC.

Now if I got my 720p HDTV back, them I guess they would look good but console upscale looks horrible IMO.

Wipeout HD looks great though

not talking tech here....just end result. well okami is my fav looking game on any platform at the mo (witcher 2 may take that title mind). its not a technical marvel at all but the end result is just a pleasure to look at imho. galaxy also looks stunning. i also have a soft spot for wipeout HD. sony seem to treat it as a tech test bed also which has its benefits....but its really smooth and great to look at. i could go on really. there are many nice looking games on consoles.

Depends on the game. Sometimes it's hard to even look at games without AA, or messes like LA Noire.

Gears of War 2, Lost Odyssey, FF13, and tons others. Just because I think PC games look better it doesnt mean that I dont appreciate console titles.

I thought FF13, JC2 (yet to try this on PC) and GOW3 all looked great on my PS3 as long as i sat a decent distance from the TV, they were a little jagged and blurry if i sat closer than the recommended distance (6 feet or so for my 40 inch TV) but i havent played a game this generation that looked bad. Edit: i've seen gameplay footage of games that looked absolutely terrible, LA Noire for example.

I'm a real whore for graphics, but UC2 still managed to wow me. Same for KZ2. Haven't played 3 yet. FF13 would be up there if the graphics were not so incosistent.

Just judging on a technical level and not including artistic games like DKCR, I would say gears 1, uncharted 1+2, MGS4, FF13, GOW3, Kameo and Killzone 2. I've found as the gen went on the less I was impressed by console games, I was more wowed by uncharted than 2 for example, despite 2 being technically a lot better. I was probably impressed by a few of the 360 launch titles like graw and even at the time perfect dark zero.

Loads of console games look great quite frankly, many of which look brilliant. There just isn't a necessity for console fans to scream and compare when these games are being rendered at such low resolutions.

Uncharted 2, Gow 3, Dirt 2, and rdr look amazing....crysis 2 also looked really good.....i guess in the end the graphics don't make the game anyways but it's still nice to have

I always loved the Gears games. Although the colour pallet is limited, the viasuals are awesome. Same goes for Killzone.

Meh, I've never been really impressed by any of them. I usually just think some of them have the potential to look good, if only they were on PC. :P

After experiencing what high-end PC gaming has to offer, it's hard to be impressed by the visuals on console games. A lot of it probably has to do with my gaming environment. My PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 all connect to the same monitor. I sit a mere few feet away from the monitor, and the PC is the only platform able to render games at my monitor's native resolution of 1920x1200. Console games appear blurry in comparison, as they are upscaled and designed to be viewed from a good 10 feet away.

Try using your computer at a lower resolution and you'll probably get a basic idea of how playing consoles games make me feel. I don't know about you, but it drives me mad until I reset it to the proper resolution.

Ginosaji

This is myproblem with Console games although it's not just that your sitting close to the TV is just the Sub Par HD. The Blur factor and texture resolution is terrible in comparison and the resolution 80% of the time isn't even 720p it's just 680p upscaled to 702 or 1080.

I will say the best console games I've seen are Killzone 3 and Crysis 2. All console games are just so sub HD it takes a day or so to get used to it.

Uncharted 2 technically. Muramasa: The Demon Blade artistically.
IF Vanquish had been in native 720p it would be a contender as well.

I like how GOW 3 and Gears 3 look. I need to try UC2 SP player again. Haven't tried it since I bought my PC in December, only played the MP which everyone knows the case with that one.

Metro 2033 looks significantly better maxed out on PC. I think the discussion limits to exclusives only. The only game on console which look somewhat decent to me graphically is MGS4. Many other console games which claim to be console graphics kings tend to hide behind bull-shots when actual graphics during gameplay look jaggy and low-res. Just an observation. Nearly all the console exclusives PC gamers consider good-looking are on PS3.

I'd say Vanquish since it's like a Crysis-killing danmaku/TPS hybrrid.
