Top 5 visually stunning PS3 exclusives

Mike Harradence writes:Graphics aren’t everything when it comes to videogames, but blimey, are they nice to gawp at. Indeed, every console throughout history–be it the Super Nintendo or the PlayStation 2–had its fair share of exclusive jaw-droppers, those triple-A juggernauts that salivating fan boys love to wax lyrically about to show off the graphical prowess of their shiny new telly box. As you’d expect, Sony’s PlayStation 3 is no different. Sure, you might have heard horror stories about how the console’s fiddly architecture has made it a right bugger to programme for, but those days seem to be firmly behind us now. After all, a console is like a carton of Ribena; the more you squeeze it, the more you get out of it, and the last couple of years have seen developers doing just that.

GOWIII is #1 best looking IMO followed by UC2.

Agreed. Jaffe was right when he said GowIII looked like a painting in motion.

Lots and lots of crow served.

kneon5354d ago

To me it often looks like a miniature diorama in motion. I don't know if it's the lighting or perspective or what but something makes it look like a close up of a tiny little Kratos.

Maybe that was deliberate in order to make the gargantuan enemies seem all that much bigger.

SkylineR5354d ago

Agreed. Personally I think GOW3 looks incredible. The sheer size of the bosses in that game are awesome.

kikizoo5354d ago (Edited 5354d ago )

Oh look, "Qwerty" troll liar is back with a new nickname "ps3-ftw" ....lol, pathetic.

Like this new denial boy : "They all look good but there are many other game on other platforms that are equally as impressive"

yeah sure, but only when you are sleeping, in your wet dreams...

hilyou5354d ago

in the article it said uncharted 2 was locked at 60 fps. WOW! its 30 fps! and GOWIII is at 60 fps!

I agree with that list except for GOW3.

LOGICWINS5354d ago (Edited 5354d ago )

God of War 3 looked like a painting in some parts..specifically when the camera was super close to Kratos(part where he spins in the air to stab Poseidon and flies through the air to fight the Titan), but overall it was graphically inconsistent. No one who played through that campaign with at least one eyeball can say that all the character models looked as good as Kratos.

MANY reviewers stated this. I could provide links, but from experience it seems that several N4Gers are allergic to factual evidence when its not in their favor lol. Either way, GOW3 is def the best looking hack n slash game ever made. Thats gtta count for something.

It is a great looking game, playing through it now and it's pretty impressive. I've always been a fan of GOW though.

KZ3 on the other hand, well I can't for the life of me see what's so great about it, it's not all that really. And gameplay wise it's a bit boring. And Rico is still the most annoying character in the history of gaming, with Sev being the dullest guy I've played as.

I grew to love KZ2 though, maybe I'll grow to love KZ3. If I don't trade it in that is.

drosera15354d ago

Disagree man, Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow is far better than GOW 3 in both graphical prowess and certainly artistic design and variety. GOW3 only surpasses it in its use of MLAAI must point out that i DO like GOW3 though, i just preferred Castlevania: LOS.

ShoryukenII5354d ago

@Kramun
It's not your fault. They just took everything that made KZ2 look awesome, shat on it, ate it and puked it back up for us to eat up. Let's just say that I had enough after their beta...

Dacapn5354d ago

I have to agree with you. Even in the visual department, KZ2>KZ3. Just look at the ground in KZ2, then look at the ground in KZ3. You couldn't see individual textures even when you zoomed in with your scope on KZ2. And though in theory, KZ3 should have been a step in the right direction for the multiplayer, it ended up being like 5 steps back, but don't get me started on that.

Overall, if we're talking about visuals, KZ2 should have been on that list, not KZ3.

humbleopinion5354d ago

@Logicwins
When you wrote "no one who played through that campaign with at least one eyeball", was that a stealth reference to Poseidon? ;)

0 and 37?

Whoa, never seen that before. Nice.
I guess the Xbox 360 fans also agree that you're a dumbass.

DeadIIIRed5354d ago

Somethings are just universally recognizable

solidworm5354d ago

Gears 3 looks lovely but U3 destroys all, ive seen it and my mind-blown.

remanutd555354d ago

Uncharted 3 will be Naughty Dog THIRD game on the ps3 , God of War 3 still is first and only Santa Monica game so keep that in mind , yea santa monica has helped with other games like Warhawk and Fat Princess but God of War 3 was the studio first on ps3

5354d ago
4025354d ago

yeah gears 3 beats uncharted 2 but uncharted 3 beats it no surprise really considering the fact that ps3 is a bit more powerful(not much but still more powerful) than 360 so its safe to say that no 360 game will ever match uncharted 3 :/ I game on all platforms including pc so I'm not biased

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

you have to admit it does look good the god-rays are jaw-dropping I'm impressed by what these consoles can come up with and I do most of my gaming on a high end pc

fluffydelusions5354d ago

Gears 3 looks good...no denying that but it does not beat UC2 and certainly not UC3.

4025354d ago (Edited 5354d ago )

@fullydelusions

you are obviously a blind fanboy and your username describes you perfectly. if you cannot give credit to games on other platforms. you can deny it all you want if it helps you sleep better at night.

I play on pc where even multiplatforms look better than anything consoles in fact a number of pc games make console games including UC3 look like ps2 games and you don't see me putting down console visuals because I'm a GAMER and NOT a fanboy.

you on the other hand are putting down a lifeless object because it doesn't have a particular brand name. gears 3 does look better than uncharted 2 but you can continue being in denial if it helps you sleep at night because I know you fanboys are overly passionate about your preferred platforms.

let me guess your one of the ps3 fanboys that claim that uncharted 2 actually beats gears 3 visuals ? LOL if you say that UC2 and gears 3 are equal in visuals it would still be a lie but it would mean that you're not as delusional as some ps3 fanboys on this site

XabiDaChosenOne5354d ago (Edited 5354d ago )

@402 You want some tissues with that PMS? He is a fanboy because he claims that Uncharted 2 looks better and you are not because you claim the opposite? How about you make an attempt to back up your claim instead of crying like a sissy over a disagreement.
Oh and LOL @ you ranting about what you game on, like anybody gives a f***, toddles!

Xalaris5354d ago

@ 402
Seems you're the fanboy for taking an opinion piece so seriously.

kikizoo5354d ago

402 is just another new multiaccount banned troll, don't feed him...i hope he don't believe what he is saying (same things for others big delusional n4G guys)

"Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow is far better than GOW 3 in both graphical prowess and certainly artistic design and variety."

buy a new tv, GOW 3 is clearly superior (graphics, technics, huge boss, animation, textures, etc) and one of the most beautifull game this gen (obviously exclusive)

Dacapn5354d ago

Did gears 3 come out for PC? I don't know, but if it did, he's probably right. But if he's talking 360, then no. Gears looks good, but KZ3 multiplayer looks better than Gears 3 single player, and KZ2 looks better than KZ3 lol. Uncharted 2 still looks better than all of those mostly because of consistency.

yesmynameissumo5354d ago

I thought Folklore was beautiful. While No Ni Kuni isn't out yet, that game looks gorgeous too. Then there's GoW3, KZ2/3, Resistance 3 is beautiful as well.

5354d ago
Ulf5354d ago (Edited 5354d ago )

Folklore was brilliantly done. Even if the tech wasn't stellar, the art style was absolutely spectacular.

Honestly that game is easier on the eyes that just about every game this gen. It's a shame that gaming rags care so much about tech, when its style that really makes a game beautiful.

The only game here, IMO, that deserves "top 5" in that regard, is U2.

Hufandpuf5354d ago

I've always felt that PS3 exclusives have an orange or grey tint to them. Look at the screenshots, Uncharted is the only game with some color to it.

SheenuTheLegend5354d ago

you should try little big planet
very colorful
but u r right at some place
not only ps3 but also x360 have tint on many games
gta iv example it was colorless

Hufandpuf5354d ago

But Gta 4 was multiplatform, not an exclusive.

Konami Delists Some Metal Gear Games From Digital Stores Without Warning

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD have been delisted from digital stores without warning.

cloganart92d ago

I mean, it makes sense. With Vol.2 coming and all that

Commentby92d ago

Stupid headline. Should state that they are being updated or discontinued. This makes the crazy people that only read headlines think it some kind of conspiracy to take away peoples already purchased games.

jjb198192d ago

If you want to all of a sudden own them now and haven't played them yet because a remastered is coming out, shame on you. I can't believe people are complaining about this 15 years later when it was bound to happen anyway. "A new remaster is out, quick, I'd better buy the original from the shop."

gigoran891d ago

Gamers: "Physical? who needs physical? everyone knows that digital online games are the future. stop living in the past. we don't need no stinking disc drive"

Same gamers: "How dare the delist a digital game that I own!!!!"

computeSci91d ago (Edited 91d ago )

And? What is your point?

Same gamers: "How dare the retailers to delist (quit selling) a physical game that I own!!!!"

I think you just read the headline and don't know how dilisting works with Sony. It's common knowledge that:

"Players who already bought the games will still have them in their library and can download and play them as usual."

So again, what is your point?
