This isnt a FFXII topic, its a visually impressive games thread, in wich i think FFXIII is the most impressive. And dont forget something, FFXIII is a MULTIPLATAFORM game, with over 60 hours to finish the st, donzens of different characters and hundreds of monsters to render.

This gotta be the most beautiful game of all time. In game is almost as impressive as a CGI cutscene and the CGI is the most beautiful ever in a game and maybe movie.

The art ****is really really good and the grahipcs are insane, almost CGI quality. And it looks even better in motion, pics dont make it any justice.But take a look at some in game pics:


And if you want to compare it with the CGI scenes, check out these 2:

I lol'd. The first pic is gameplay. The character is nice and detailed but the enviroment looks appaling. The rest of the pic are from pre rendered cut scenes. Just like Advent Children. Those are not part of gameplay.Oh and the cutscenes will be compressed for the 360, so expect them to look crappy too.

I haven't played Crysis, so I won't play that card.

I haven't seen anything yet from FFXIII footage that makes it stand out over UC2.

You already posted this in the hype thread, which should really catch all of this FFXIII talk.

Anyways, can we see some comparison shots with Uncharted 2? I haven't played UC2, so ...

Those screens are nice, but the environmental textures outside in open areas look pretty generic imo. I'm sorry, but nothing has trumped Crysis on maximum settings. Nothing on this batch of consoles ever will. But FF XIII is definately a contender for the best looking console game, though I think God of War III is better, myself.

I'm going to call BS on that bottom screen. The background looks prerendered.

Also is the area in the bottom screen as big as:

you can find more info about it here: http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=27187026&tag=topics;title

^ you can see more screens too and no it's not pre-rendered as far as I know.

You're confused.You posted a prerendered video. Learn the difference:

Prerendered

In game

The top screen is not PS3 graphics. The bottom screen is PS3 graphics.

Edit: I will point out that this picture is also prerendered:

This looks like something from an early trailer that's been replaced with in game. I don't remember it looking quite this good when I played.

So why are you saying that scenes that aren't prerendered are prerendered?

Best looking game on consoles? I haven't played enough games to judge; but I'm going to go ahead and say "probably not." I think Uncharted is easily on par with FFXIII in terms of cutscene graphics, if not better (probably better), judging from what I've seen.

Pretty sure that next-generation of consoles will easily surpass Crysis. To me at the moment, Alan Wake is looking very visually impressive, mainly cos i love the lighting.

Even if they do have fun waiting four or more years for something to look nearly as good as Crysis. Oh and if you're talking about lighting this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TGt5aa6v8E five times better lightning than Alan Wake.

Thers some really mad hermits here, i bet they are jealous cause they dont get to exprience these great games and have to play the same FPS, RTS and MMORPG over and over again. And visually impressive aint all about graphics, its also good to have a great art direction. Good graphics and art ****is the best combo. Crysis aint that impressive.
