PS3 exclusives are still the best looking console games by far (56k warning)

GeOW2?

Just saying it was at one point. mitu.

Gears of War 2 is still one of the best looking games I've seen on a console, even after all this time.

Just saying it was at one point. mitu.

sony does have the best looking exclusives but the critics have spoken, crysis 2 is officially the best looking game on consoles, cows need to deal with the fact that they where wrong about the 360, it's obvious now that the 360 is more than capable of producing graphics equal to the Ps3 something they claimed would never happen, this also serves the purpose of shutting the lems up as well, no more claiming mediocre exclusive titles as being the next graphics king every 5 minutes.delta3074

Why does it matter? Graphics are'nt necessarily important to make a game good.

Not that much of a difference, it's still about individual opinions.

And hey can talk about graphics with these games too, critics praised MW2 and MGS4s graphics, hell this site gave MGS4 a win in graphics over Crysis:W yet most here would say those games have some overrated graphics.

Even in the rare screen where Crysis 2 might look better it's still a lie. The game looks absolutely AWFUL in motion. Even KZ2 still looks far better than it, specially in motion. See any video of Crysis 2 and you will see what I mean. If you're going by still pictures then technically GT5 has the best graphics because of the legendary 2160p photo mode.

Yes but games also have irrefutable technical tie-ins and have less variables to judge from, therefore making it less-subjective.

And just to clarify I'm not saying Uncharted 2 looks way better, but it clearly runs better. If all that mattered was how it looked Shadow of the Colossus would easily be the best looking game of last gen, even if it's on the weakest system. However the frame rate is horrible and there are glitches galore, so it's not the best looking. Same goes for Crysis 2 on consoles, far too glitchy to be the king.

metro: Although Crysis 2 swaps an actual jungle for the urban variety, the level of near photorealism remains. Despite the impressive scale the attention to detail is second to none: from hedges that shed leaves as you run through them to the filtering of light through a half-destroyed wall. That all this is running on a middle-aged console, not a state of the art PC, only makes it more impressive.

Digitaltrends:
"Crytek manages to live up to the hype with Crysis 2, the best-looking console game ever made (except for the glitches)."

Gamespot Kevin VanOrd
"Crysis 2 does an admirable job of living up to the original's reputation of sheer technical prowess"

Finally, this wouldn't be a Crysis 2 review without some space dedicated to the game's graphics, would it? This is a gorgeous game, certainly one of the best-looking console titles to date

Crysis 2 for the PlayStation 3 is an exceptional shooter and perhaps the best looking game on the system.

There's little doubt that the Xbox 360 is the cleaner, crisper experience and for the most part it commands a small
but significant frame-rate advantage and fewer little glitches; especially outside of combat scenarios,
the game just seems to run that much more smoothly

Lens of Truth
Xbox 360: 29 fps
PS3: 26 fps

IGN:
"Crysis 2 on Xbox 360 has taken the crown for best graphics in a console game"

Crysis 2 looks miles better than KZ3 and U2 imo and also the opinion of every review on the planet

MC3887

Agreed they are in the same league.

They all say Crysis 2 looks better, all of them

And does look miles better than Uncharted 2, which does not even nearly come close to the scale, detail, lighting, effects tc of Crysis 2

Sorry, but Uncharted 2 is dated and sadly Uncharted 3 seems to use the same engine and looks very date too, that is why they said will use re-rendered cut scenes

another damage control thread. CRYSIS 2 on xbox 360 looks better than ALL the PS3 exclusives combined. jusy give it up cows and move on.

heres Video proving once and for all that Crysis owns everything!

Great thread.

And I agree. Crysis 2 on consoles really isn't even in the same league as Killzone 3 or Uncharted 2

[QUOTE="incuensuocha"] the opinion of every reviewer in the planet huh? Show me just 1 reviewer who said it looks MILES better than any other game. You can't because you are so far exaggerating the difference that you're just talking out of your ass. I've said many times that I agree when the game isn't having performance issues it looks the best, but the difference is minimal at best. Uncharted 2 still looks amazing and isn't MILES behind Crysis 2. killzoneded

lol still got that list going?

Crysis 2 looks amazing. But i can't give such a inconsistent game (graphicaly) the crown.

[QUOTE="delta3074"]sony does have the best looking exclusives but the critics have spoken, crysis 2 is officially the best looking game on consoles, cows need to deal with the fact that they where wrong about the 360, it's obvious now that the 360 is more than capable of producing graphics equal to the Ps3 something they claimed would never happen, this also serves the purpose of shutting the lems up as well, no more claiming mediocre exclusive titles as being the next graphics king every 5 minutes.iwasgood2u

[QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="kuraimen"] Not every review site thought Crysis 2 is the best looking console game either so what's your point opinions vs opinions decides nothing officially.FIipMode

Not really, UC2 being the best on consoles was decided by a bunch of polls on SW, not relying on the words of some critics.

Crysis 2 won every poll this month. There was even one poll where if you added all the votes of ps3 exclusives it was still less than crysis 2.

to bad graphics dont sell and wii gets the fun down

Question?

when are ps3 owners gonna start buying the games cows constantly say are the best looking, highest scoring, best gameplay, appeal to every one games? I mean 40 million + system sales and most ps3 games don't even breach 1million sales... as proven by the fact the 360 has over 150 million more software sales world wide, and the 360 has 120 1 million+ selling games and the ps3 only has 90.
Maybe If ps3 owners were to actually use the ps3 as a game machine instead of a movie machine the ps3 wouldn't be in 3rd in nearly every area of the market...

[QUOTE="FIipMode"]

[QUOTE="delta3074"]the vast majority of them did and, no offence, but these same reviewers are the ones the cows used as evidence that UC2 was the best looking console game, remeber, UC2 was the best looking game on consoles "because teh critics said so", people need to accept it, crysis 2 is the best looking game on consoles, they also need to accept that the 360 can obviously produce graphics on par with the ps3, i for one am glad, this will give us a respite from this board being full of graphics threads.xsatyr86

I'm pretty sure most of those polls, if not all of them were made before Crysis 2 was even out.

Oh WOW a 3 whole games wow soo many there :lol: If I want to play the best looking games I play on my pc, if I want to play the best looking console game I'll play C2 on 360 why you mad?

Remember everyone, Battlefield 3 devs said PS3 version looks better than 360 version therefore future graphics king is gonna be better on PS3, therefore PS3 > 360 /thread 8)
