What are Gamespot editors smoking? Metro 2033 not in Technical Graphics Awards..

God of War III's graphics are JOKE, a laughing stock, compared to PC Metro 2033. How is PS3's 5 year old crappy graphics chip running at lame 720P resolutions going to compare with PC's with DX 11 HD 5700/5800/6800/6900/GTX 400/500 graphics chips running games @ FULL HD 1080P. I didn't realize that the PS3 was made of magic that it can somehow gererate better graphics then PC Metro 2033. God War III doesn't even have DX 11 effects, tesselation, the list goes on and on that it's quite pathetic. Goes to show Gamespot editors don't know JACK about graphics or either that they run all their games on Intel Integrated graphics. LOL. Metro 2033 pwns God War III in graphics that it's not even funny.

Yearly Best Awards used to have merit now it's a laughing stock. I remember back in the day when the best graphics actually won like PC's Unreal Tournament 2003 in the year 2002. Now it's just a sad joke. Any idiot with a half a brain can see that Metro 2033 is the 2ND best looking game in the world right now after Crysis. Gamespot editors are so much fail.

What's the bigger technical achievement, cramming every rendering technology available in a game or squeezing the last drop of power out of outdated hardware to produce graphics as good as GOW3's?

they compare the game to the respective hardware... it would be pointless award if they didn't, it would go to the PC every year. But if there is a PC game that outstanding graphics with respect to other pc games, yes it should win.

Thank you for sharing your ignorance though, but I do think Metro 2033 should of taken the crown, but from a console perceptive GoW3 looks amazing

It should have been at least nominated. It all comes down to hype, remember them saying that GT5 was the most graphically impressive game in those press events? Now that it flopped itwasn't even mentioned.

Because no Wii game was that impressive. In the expanded Reader's Choice category they included a PSP game though. Also note how the PC version of Just Cause 2 was nominated.

Because consoles matter more in todays gaming world, sorry to sound arrogant, but its the plain truth.

What ignorance? It says Technical Graphics meaning the BEST LOOKING TECHNICAL graphics, if you think that GOWIII had the best technical graphics than you obviously haven't played PC's Metro 2033. And talk about ignorance it wasn't even freaking NOMINATED. So much FAIL.

I wouldn't be surprised if these clowns doesn't select PC's Crysis 2 next year for best graphics and choose another console title as the best graphics running on what would then be 7-8 year old hardware LOL. Hey why not throw in a PS2 game while at it I am pretty sure the developers are squeezing out extra "juice" from 10 year old technology.

And ME2 won RPG of the year not much we can do about it.

Maybe the 360 version brought it down? idk, if a games going to win, its generally includes all versions but Idk.

I am just saying don't disreguard console games when they push great visuals given the hardware

Just Cause II preformance was pis poor, the FPS gets down when you're in cities, it requires a really good rig to look that good, how does it make sense that it was nominated? It doesn't. And MH3 does look impressive, on that old hardware. So does Metroid. They look impressive by Wii standards. Why weren't they nominated, why ? Makes no sense.GeneralShowzer

If you played it and had performance problems, there's something wrong with your PC. It does not require a good rig to look good. A 8800 GT will run it at 40 fps at 1920x1080 on a mixture of medium-low - and that's the minimum requirement for the game. It looks better than the console versions on minimum. It's a DX10 exclusive, which brings a ton of performance improvements over any hybrid rendering engine. I suppose this is what it boiled down to - Avalanche had the balls to deliver this incredible PC version instead of simply porting the game. As a bonus, it has some really odd tech incorporated, like the perfectly simulated Bokeh filter or the water simulation which required an entire rendering farm for AntZ a decade ago...

The FPS goes down in cities because the polycount goes up lol.

I'm sure the 360 version of Metro had an impact too... For all their talk, which included some attacks toward Killzone 2, it failed to deliver.

Uh, under the Best Technical Graphics it says they are looking for game that I quote:

" push the boundaries of what game can do by exploring new effects, pushing more polygons, and creating a more technically impressive picture than anything we've seen previously."

Exactly how is of God War III "pushing more polygons", when Metro 2033 easily pushes WAY more polygons than GOWIII. "exploring new effects" What new effects GOWIII is pushing, could it be DX 11, tesselation,...no didn't think so. Creating "imressive pictrue than anything we've seen previously", Yep GOWIII is surely is creating something that we have not seen before useing old outdated DX 9 tech, while Metro 2033 uses the latest DX 11 tech. Yep that sure makes sense :rollseyes:.

So, by definition Gamespot fails in their OWN criteria. This is so much fail.

I'm pretty sure that "creating a more technically impressive picture" isn't meant to be taken ad litteram...

Played the first few minutes of Metro 2033 and took some screens. The quality of these images has been impacted due to compression, afterall, each image was over a few MBs and now less than a few hundred KB. Did that to conserve space and not to overload imageshack. lol Anyways, enjoy.

Anyone want MOAR?

Metro looks amazing maxed, and runs amazing for me too, although I have a GTX 480 lol. I know others have had issues running the game.

Keep crying, and keep spending hundreds on new graphics cards, cpu's while the 5 year old ps3 keeps taking graphics king awards. Hurts doesn't it?poorfamz

Oh and also Armed Assault 2 is one of the most realistic looking games out...

edit: then you got la noire doing some incredible things with facial animations

I think the award is more about technical achievement doing things that aren't really standard, and really pushing the graphics in a new way. Metro 2033 easily beats out best graphics on how many polygon's its pushing, but is it doing anything new or interesting with the technology? no

Yes return to a minimum wage job! Having $800 to throw around as an adult is way too much!!! You should be struggling and only be able to afford about $300 to go towards your main hobby!

As much as metro 2033 looks incredible, it's got issues out of th ebutt.

I think Just Cause 2 should of won it.

This place is called cowspot for a reason.

[QUOTE="Baranga"]

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] Then why wasn't a Wii game nominated, because MH3, Metrioid, Goldeneye, look very good for that outdated hardware, don't you think. I'm calling it here, double standards! GeneralShowzer

Wow PS3 wins best graphics 3 years straight:D

The problem with Metro is that its an unoptimised disaster (It even runs poorly on an i7 for pete's sake). It was clearly rushed to compete with Crysis on who can make the worst badly coded, graphic hungry mess the most.

maybe because it had horrible optimization?

What did you expect? All Gamespot editors are console gamers. They just looked at PC releases to fill the Dubious Honors awards. :roll:
