Super Street Fighter IV is probably the best looking game this gen imo.

I don't give a flying **** about all this tech-spec talk and how some people think a game like Crysis 2, or whichever "realistic" game you have in mind, must be the "Graphics King" because it has some photo-realistic stone textures or whatever.

I like games that are actually colourful and vibrant and just beautiful to look at, and are stunning pieces of visual art in their own right, and I think SSFIV is easily one of the most visually beautiful games this gen (with stunning animation too I might add).

I mean just imagine if we actually had some fps games with character models and backgrounds that looked like they do in SSFIV for example...

The graphics in certain games actually make me feel uplifted and happy when I look at them, like SSFIV, and then there are all those "Graphics Kings" that mostly are just dull as hell and soulless and really don't do anything other than look technically impressive (but will look totally dated in a few years time).

Just saying.

I never actually liked SFIV's art style. Art style wise it's actually one of the weaker fighters this gen imo but I'm not a huge fan of the everyone looks like they've been doing roids the last 10 years look.

I personally believe that when it comes down to consoles that Killzone 2 loooks the best. Maybe God Of War III, not so sure about Killzone 3 yet.

I agree. I always prefer colorful games and I fail to see the appeal of all the brown games that system warriors keep talking about. I'm not sure I agree with you on the Street Fighter IV issue, though. It looks great but, in my opinion, Tatsunoko vs Capcom looks a bit better; mainly because the Tatsunoko vs Capcom version of Chun Li doesn't look like a dude.

I completely agree, SSFIV is one of the most beautiful games I've ever played, I always tell this to my friends, finally someone else who feels the same way! I can stare at that game for its art alone, the Africa stage is just a marvel! ...and that Cammy sure does help,

Other than the fact that all the charaters look like they've been taking steroids or working out constantly for a few years, I like the look of the game a lot.

Well they are supposed to be the strongest of the world don't they? That justifies even Chun Li's legs.

I'd give that reward to Fable 2 (Haven't really looked at 3 too much) or Braid.

Edit: Or Muramasa: The Demon Blade on the Wii.

I think the art style is terrible. I'm all for art design over tech, but SSFIV just looks wrong.

Not really. (BTW Rage was in development before Borderlands) Also the art direction is more similar to the Mad Max movie series.

Check the last 3 screens, look at the way that crossbow looks. It looks cellshaded.

I'd actually say the models/backgrounds are better in Soul Calibur IV than SSF4 (despite being a much inferior game).

I think Muramasa and Okami take the spot for best artistic looking game.

Muramasa alone is a moving painting, and Okami is definitely on the colorful side.

You go for artistic visuals, it's as simple as that. And artistic appeal is subjective, and there's not much point trying to compare it the way technical graphics are compared. Many of us go for realism and right proportions. I can say SS4's graphics are unappealing because the character models are cartoony and out of proportion. Their hands are as big as their heads, chun li's thighs are waaay too bigetc. Their faces resemble hand sketched models rather than real life people....

Of course the appeal is subjective. But i tend to prefer designs from Tekken, whereby although having anime-like characters, they try to make the character as close to what a real life person would be...if such a person were to exist.

KOF XIII is sexy looking. Wish I had an arcade around here to actually play it. Had to drive to so cal to go to arcade infinity to play it haha. Its fun, even though I don't really know KOF that much.

What about Ryu's, and Akuma's biceps? I think Akuma is just a tad more muscular than the two. And Chun-Li always look awesome.
