Say a game comes out for the PC and another console simultanesouly and the PC version is the best looking game of all time. The console version on the other hand is the same game but doesn't look nearly as great. Do the console guys get to claim victory over the others? I would say not in a million years but what do you think?

No fanboy will come to an arangement here... they will always try to come up with something that makes their version the better one.

If the new graphics king is a multiplat, then that would mean everyone could enjoy the work of art.

I hope you mean either 360/PC or PS3/PC, because if it's 360/PS3/PC, good luck with that...

Say a first party ports the game to PC, like Microsoft tends to do all the time.

Now that's a positive take on it.

I don't know I doubt that it will so far first-party games have been the shining gems of this gen. Even crysis is a PC exclusive game and its the best looking game by far.

This. Uusally when it goes multiplat in develpment, not ported to console later, it is not as impressive as exclusive PC games.

it would be funny if a 360/PS3 multiplat would be the next console 'graphics king' because then thousands of threads would be creating on a daily basis with avid fanboys from each side posting Millions of pics were it shows that on their beloved console there are areas were a couple more hi-rez textures are present, or there is slightly better lighting effects or else in a particular area one system was locked at 30fps while the other version sucked cause it went down to 29.95fps LOL

Personally i dont mind if a game is exclusive or multiplat, if it deserves to be nominated as the next 'graphics king' its fine with me..

If it were best on PC, then it'd be the current graphics king. If it were best on a console [lol] then it'd be current console graphics king. Most people on this board only discuss the latter anyway, due the vast system resource advantage the PC has. So, say for example, Crysis became multiplat, and looked better than Killzone 2 only on PC, but the console ports were worse than Killzone 2. In that case, Crysis would remain over all graphics king, but Killzone 2 would remain console graphics king. If, on the other hand, the game was the best looking game on all platforms, then it'd be the overall graphics king. Crysis 2 is apparently going to be that game, if you believe the devs. And before the claims of "Oh, so console exclusive is fine now?" come in. Say the two statements out allowed, and see which one sounds like a contradiction. In fact, I'll do it for you. Console graphic king, implies it's the best looking game on consoles. Console exclusive implies it's exclusive to a particular console. Now, if a game is on PC and a console, how is it exclusive to a console?

Cross platform development tends to limit the PC end of things and since modern PCs are so much more powerful than any of the consoles then it is more likely that the next "Graphics King" will be a PC exclusive.

The current graphics king is already a multiplat'. The PC version is equal or worse depending on whether your GPU can handle it.

Never gonna happen. "Graphics King" is completely biased. Excluding the PC in an effort to make ones console look better is proof of this.

Since graphics King is decided by voted, it comes down to what system you own. Few people will actually deicde based on visuals alone, and most people won't have even played the game in question. Cows and Lemmings would never vote for a multiplat game, as it offers no "ownage" on the other.

For what is concerned, in my opinion, the PC has always the games with best graphics and would never be beaten by a console. So the graphics king dicussion is a exclusive war between consoles.

Depends, as long as you pay tribute I will be ok, but if you forget the tribute the posting will begin. Our Crysis pics will blot out the sun.

It depends. When a new gen starts console games will pwn PC games (gears 1). Later in the gen though, the PC continues to advance and its graphics just dominate the current consoles. Like last gen it was Half Life 2 and this gen it was Crysis.

My preferred platform for gaming is the PS3 but I never question that the PC would always get better graphics. That's basically a given and that's why I think that including it on a graphics king discussion along the consoles is senseless.

I would argue F.E.A.R. looked better than Gears.

Well that could be true but the PC is pretty fast to catch up. The PC would always have the advantage that it is constantly upgradable while consoles must wait years.

It is possible but I think the one of the console versions will be made the primary version. It is easier to make a inferior version better than to make a superior version worse. If the PC version is made the primary version I say there is a chance, but that is the only chance.

I think a lot of fanboys don't include PCs in their rivalries. Mainly due to the fact that are so many different configurations you can apply to a PC, therefore the graphical capabilities are less limited. I'm not a PC gamer, mainly due to the fact that the 2laptops I ownare far from gaming machines, and I have never really gotten into the whole mouse and arrow key controls. PC vs MAC and 360,PS3, and Wii vs each other right now.

Not really - the PC version will be the only one with the graphics - everyone else is getting the watered-down version.
