Unsung Graphical Benchmarks

aimassist.com: "When the great graphics debates rear up, we’re quick to spring to certain titles, we’re all well aware of titles like Crysis, Uncharted, Killzone and Gears of War when it comes to visual mastery, however these are not the only bright lights in the world of game visuals"

Agree with all the games chosen

I think missing any Halo game, let alone GOTY 2010 Halo Reach is inexcusable...lets take a look shall we..

First the new trailer...

Who remembers Bioshock 1...

I think 2011 will have the best graphics yet with many huge games releasing...can't wait.

Anyone know what happend to those Alan Wake>Uncharted 2 visually articles? I used to see a lot of them then the game released and suddenly no article it's almost as if they hyped the game up but it didn't live upto expectations.

ChronoJoe5793d ago

Halo 3 didn't look very good, respective to other AAA titles on the system.

Halo Reach looks good. Respective to games on its system, but not respective to games on other home consoles, and still remains below the very best on it's own system (gears of war).

jack_burt0n5793d ago

@cez quit sniffing glu or buy yourself a hdtv.

Scotland-The-Brave5793d ago

It was right to not include halo on the list. Alan wake defo not. Bioshock could have been on if the list included older games.

SOAD5793d ago

Some maps in Halo Reach MP look several notches better than other maps. For example, Reflection looks very good. It looks better than anything I've seen in Gears 3, and dare I say it, it looks like something from Uncharted 2.

APOFISBORICUA5793d ago

AHH you are as delusional as Serj Tanjain.. Thats why SYSTEM OF A DOWN ( one of my favorite bands broke). HALO REACH looking better than GEARS 3 and UNCHARTED 2?? Thats something I have to see for myself and judge myself. I will be playing Reach for sure and then I would tell. OHH I havent played the beta.

PEACE AND GAMING!!

SOAD5793d ago

I said Reflection looks as good as a Gears 3 map. Learn to read the whole thing.

Persistantthug5793d ago (Edited 5793d ago )

2 out of his 3 games he mentioned are SUB HD.

Halo Reach is Sub HD and so is Alan Wake.
Both of those games are exclusive games that are Sub HD.

Bioshock may have been a technical Marvel of sorts 3 years ago...but as we all know, Tech moves fast, and it is no longer so.

HolyOrangeCows5793d ago

"Halo Reach, Alan Wake"

You're joking, right? Alan Wake runs at 960x544 and Halo Reach is still looking to be sub-HD at 1152 x 720 ( http://www.digitalbattle.co... ) and still no AA.

You're absolutely delusional.

SoSLy5793d ago

I like Halo Reach but I wouldnt put it there either. Its not exactly a "Graphical Marvel". But it makes up with gameplay, multiplayer and forge. Just because its one of the most played games on 360 it doesnt mean its the best looking one out there

ExplosionSauce5793d ago

You're really, really trying way too hard with Halo, it's almost laughable.

IaMs125793d ago

Nice try but you must learn here on n4g the word Halo is not very fond of

lex-10205792d ago

Took a look, Doesn't impress, and Halo Reach hasn't won GOTY. And realistically speaking, No Halo game has ever one GOTY. Go away troll.

MLB 10 The Show is incredible. The most impresive is the late afternoon games. Excellent shading and the player models are outstanding. So many unique stances and pitching styles. Arguably the best sports game made across the board.

FarCry 2 was impressive. Especially for when it came out. I love the effect the wind has on burning grass/plants. The game itself got really repetitive but graphically the game was great.

Games I don't think get enough credit :

Resident Evil 5
Heavenly Sword
Gears of War 2 (Especially considering its release time)
Resistance 1 (Launch Title!)

Redgehammer5792d ago

the beautiful sunrises and sunsets in FC2. It was fantastic to exit a heavily wooded area venture up a hill and catch the Sun breaking the dawn with beautiful life-like colors. Sometimes I would stay and watch the Sun completely rise and think nice freaking job Ubi-Soft.

Spydiggity5793d ago (Edited 5793d ago )

on PC...at max settings...is 2nd ONLY to Crysis. the game is simply stunning. unfortunately, the game was pretty lousy.

OperationFlashpoint25793d ago

Far Cry 2 was bloody impressive, graphically...

dirthurts5793d ago

I still use it to test the performance of my Pc when I make changes.

despair5793d ago

so do I, along with crysis.

BannedForNineYears5793d ago

Yeah, it was a great game............Graphically.
Gameplay wise, the game gets sooooooo boring when you get to the second map.
<_<

TiKiMaN15793d ago

Far Cry 2 was and still is amazing graphically. Really loved that game.

HeavyInfamous5793d ago

Mafia 2 rarely gets a mention, yet it's one of the best looking games I've ever seen.

SeanRL5793d ago (Edited 5793d ago )

Mafia 2 looks amazing, and I really love the overall feel of it. Seems like you could really get immersed in it's world thanks to the authenticity of it all.

Edit: Exactly! Though some may just be immersing themselves in the virtual playboy magazines....

PS360DS5793d ago

You just know it's going to completely immerse you

ChronoJoe5793d ago

Actually Mafia 2, on console, or PC. Isn't very impressive. Texture resolutions aren't that high, not too low either, but an area which can be considered really poor is the games poly count, on vehicles and character models. Just really doesn't look up to scratch compared to even RDR/GTA and what we've seen of La Noir.

Fortunately. I'm not the type of person that cares about any of that stuff.

AntMad5793d ago

No Killzone, Uncharted, Crysis and Gears on the list? FAIL!

EDIT: Oh this is "unsung" graphical games, yeah makes sense. Never mind.

D4RkNIKON5793d ago (Edited 5793d ago )

Yeah the games you listed are the 'sung' graphical games of this gen. You just forgot to mention GOW3 ;)
I can't wait to add Killzone 3 to your list!

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio48d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing48d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9248d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit48d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing48d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9248d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
