Noble team for me in the right level and lighting they Look phenominal

the only thing that has jumped out at me in the last few years was the facial animations in uncharted, they had this disney-esq bigger than life quality that grabbed my attention.

probably the most fun to watch cut scenes i have ever seen.

I remember first looking up info on Resident Evil 5 and when I saw her character I knew there would be a nude patch for her right away.

And I was correct.....

xD Alyx and Sheva were quick to get the nude patch. :P

Elann2008

Yah I saw the Alyx Cinema mod nude patch and it was way too detailed.....

You could see the goosebumps on her skin.

I mean just look at the half life 2 mod pics of her face and you will kind of have an idea of what it looks like.

Sheva was a complete and utter moron. Worst AI ever. "Hey look, that laser beam is heading straight towards me. I COULD move two steps to the right and avoid it but-" *dead* *partner died* *game over*

That game was an abomination.

I wish I played the PC version. Maybe that nude patch would have helped me stomach the game better.

I can't help it. Everytime I hear even the slightest mention of that game I have to point out that it was an epic failure. I will try to control myself better :evil:

Nathan Drake UC2

Kratos Gow3

Everyone in MGS4, but Snake especially!

hd5870corei7

Those would be the three best IMO as well. I would also throw in Crysis and Metro 2033 for PC.

FTW

call_of_duty_10

Come ON man. You can do better than that. That screenshot does no justice to Crysis.

Kratos GOW3 beats all of them on consoles

Mine are:

Snake (MGS4.)

Bayonetta.

Drake (Uncharted 2)

Altair (Assassins creed)

The joker, Batman and bane. (Batman AA)

The Trico ( The Last Guardian 8) )

johny300

fight night round 4 has the best character models, hands down. yes, even better than crysis.

I did have the nude patch and it didn't make it any better.....just more awkward.

I used these outfits for my characters.

I used some gun texture mods too.

Now that's more like it ;)

fight night round 4 = win

EDIT: not bullshots

PC: Crysis

maybe later Witcher 2

The Character models from Mass Effect 2 are absolutely amazing!

I don't own the game, but this has always impressed me a great deal. It's so clean and clear

All the main characters of FFXIII. Best character models ever!

I hesitate to call them "good" because those things are ugly as sin... whatever they are. But yeah, the character models are impressive.

ME2 looks even better when its runningSPBoss

true even ME2 looks better than crysis. Still think fight night round 4 wins character models handedly though... i mean their freaking muscles flex in real time.

Nah ME2 does not look better than Crysis even when we are talking about character models.

And yes I have the game on PC maxed out and even modded to look better and it doesn't match Crysis.

Im well aware fight night round 4 isnt the most technically impressive title in the world... but i think in terms of character models... its hard to beat that level of detail. Sure the environments are miniature, sure there are only a maximum of 2 character models on the screen.... but if you wanna know the best video game character models, fight night round 4 is the answer. :P

You know im not too thick headed ill admit you might be right. I think ME2 just has alot more closeups than crysis so it seems that way.

but FNR4 still wins overall... :P

I don't think those models are all that to be honest. Sure the polygon count is staggering to say the least but they look plastic and judging by those pics I would say the textures in Crysis gives the models are more "realistic" look.

Nariko, The King, and his son...everyone in Heavenly Sword.

well i didnt look too hard for a pic i just grabbed one off gamespot... i had a bad experience linking a pic from a foreign site that ended up showing goatse for remote linking. So i didnt want to chance it. Im sure there are much better examples out there.

But i think if you watch the video link in HD the models look pretty fantastic. In motion, i think they are hard to beat... especially considering the character models change in real time.

EDIT: and in reality alot of those crysis pics those textures are far from realistic.... you cant see pores like that on anyone from that distance... nobody has pores that huge.

2nd EDIT: and the plastic look comes from the real time sweat physics (which i personally think is another feather in the cap of their character models)... it looks alot less plastic and more realistic in the video.

and here's some Liara

most of these character models posted in this thread are from screen shots...not the games in motion...

check these character models out in motion.....tell me it doesn't look real...look at the guy's leg moving.

but beside that type of game.....I think most honest game developers would say Kratos from GOW3....it is one of the most detailed characters ever.

character models are actually rather ugly. The animation is beautiful though.

I think most honest game developers would say the fight night round 4 characters have some of the highest poly count, and most detailed textures combined with real time sweat and clothing physics and real time muscle flexing.... really lets just all admit fight night round 4 wins this competition.

lol that vid was pretty damn awesome, even though i think ive seen it before... i forgot about it.

but hakkai... just say fight night round 4 has the best character models... everyone knows it has terrible environments, and it can only dream of looking like crysis.

but just admit it has the best character models... just do it, it will feel good. relieve yourself of the heavy burden you bare. Its ok, we are all here for you.... warm yourself on my loving bosom.

Can't go wrong with that one.

I was also surprised to see how far they are pushing the source engine, great stuff.

ME2 charcters are using models witha differnt set of polygons,so thode in cutscenes are different than those in real time,on the technical aspect:

Crysis

Heavy Rain

Snake and Raiden,

Nathan Drake

Leon RE,

Thane and Jack

Leaving the personal fandom and art direction aside the only ones in game detailed without cinematic cheating are the MGS4 characters.And the FF characters are very detailed,it`s just the half-realisam art style that makes them unapealing to some.Photorealistic characters like the default face of man Shepard look more detailed but they are mostly not.

Actually you can modify the ME2 config file for the PC version to use the cutscene models in the game.

And do what with them?Brake combat,and gear,create clipping issues,get stuck one more time on platforms?And what is it that a console gamer should do?

I was talking about detailed models in game,Blur,Digic and WETA can always do better,thats urelated to the games or in-game disscusion.
