I think the obvious answer is Blizzard. Their Starcraft 2 and WoW CG are amazingly detailed and have a great direction and give u a movie quality feel.

Blizzard and Square-Enix, if we include movies SE wins with AC, love that movie, especially the complete BR version :D

Who made the opening video for DC Universe Online? That's a classic watch. Makes me wish I could see more CGI movies that aren't aimed at the family. Too bad Final Fantasy Spirits Within bombed at the theater.

no. thats bioware. and although ill admit square enix has beautiful CGI, i just think the direction isnt up to par wit blizzard. their trailers have to much of an animeish feel to them. at least for me. doesnt really give that epic feel or narrative

For consoles, I'd like to throw Insomniac into the mix, what they did with Ratchet & Clank on the PS3 was visually impressive

Industrial Light and Magic no one comes close to the CGI those people make.

Nah bro.

Uhm...no...look at the driver facial expression...and now look at WRATH OF LICH KING CG, ZERATUL VS KERRIGAN, MARINE CG TEASER....SUPERIOR...

AND THOSE WERE FIRST SHOWN 2-3 AGO.

SO NOPE...I MEAN yeah ff xiii versus is realistic, but that is because of the setting as opposed to the attention to details and the animation weight.

I am sorry but SE animation feels stiff at times. Plus, their CG tends to rely on motion-capture which is good for acrobatic actions but not for "heavy" feel.

In Blizzard Cg, even pulling out a sword is given a hand-touched animation to achieve incredible realism.

Of course Blur and DIGIC stands head and shoulder with Blizzard.

Hell, if Blizzard doesn't release a CG trailer this year (better than Sc2 ones), Blur and DIGIC might surpass it.

Sonic Team's CGI abilities are very under-appreciated. Don't know if that means they're the best, but I think they deserve recognition. That Night of the Werehog short they did was beautifully animated.

Would've said Square Enix before Starcraft 2, then Blizzard made The Prophecy and completely blown away everything ever done by Square combined into ashes.

Totally agree on that DCUO opening. That was one of the most killer things I've seen. Would be epic to see that made into a movie. Actually...I'm changing my fav opening from God of War 3 to DCUO now. ;)

Was going to say the same thing.

Just look at this, it's beautiful.

I'd say it looks just as good as SE's.

It's between square and blizzard, and I put blizzard over them for two reasons.

1. I am a blizzard fanboy

2. Wrath of the Lich King trailer.

Nah bro.

I don't know the proper way to describe it, but it has that characteristic stylized "every motion has meaning" anime look to it. Maybe it's a preference thing, but Blizzard cgi looks more realistic.
