The most beautiful or good looking game you've played? - Games

[QUOTE=xianlee;22401046]God of War 3 and Uncharted 2.[/QUOTE] i was going to mention both of these. God of War 3 has incredible scale and kratos looks amazing up close (and the lighting, god damn) as well as just about everything in uncharted 2.

STALKER has some beautiful locales. I think it certainly trumps the texture quality/blur/hurrdurr by the way the levels are designed.

Mass Effect series and Legend of Zelda Wind Waker for me.

Metro 2033 took the cake for me. I [B]LOVED[/B] that game and it's visuals.

[QUOTE=wingless;22409957]Just cause 2. The use of per object Motion blur, Immense terrain and fucking amazing textures gave a cinematic Experience like I've never seen before. Fucking brilliant visuals And the water is easily the best I've seen [editline]05:03PM[/editline] That game isn't even out yet.[/QUOTE] It's been out for ages

Episode 2.

Bioshock 2 / Crysis.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 I don't know what you all think, but to me everything there was beautiful.

Mirror's edge by a long long way. Then maybe Metal Gear Solid 4 [img_thumb]http://metavideogame.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/mirrors-edge-20080228010813817.jpg[/img_thumb]

Counter-Strike Source :|

Metal Gear Solid 4. Fuck y'all. Also easily best sounding game yet, uncompressed audio tends to do that.

[QUOTE=Inzal;22407268]Why has no one else said killzone 2?[/QUOTE] I did.

It's been out for a while now..

Hmm mmmm hmmmm gotta love dat brown.

X3: Terran Conflict. While the majority of the game looks good, you get those occasional spots where everything just fits, and it looks incredible [IMG_thumb]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/Saber15/x3screen000251.jpg[/IMG_thumb]

Gears of War and Oblivion made my head explode the first time I saw them.

When I first played Gears of War I was like "dayum nice normal maps, dayum nice giant spider" and then I thought "oh shit I'm so fucking bored of brown" and also it seemed like the whole gothic city design was ripped straight from Warhammer 40K artwork.

Crysis, (when it came out) Oblivion, Prince of Persia (the one from 2008)

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory when it first came out. This was a giant leap in graphics, imo [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/2iuuj45.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i48.tinypic.com/2rqloh4.jpg[/IMG]

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. When I first played it and left that boat, I knew I was playing something special. Seeing the Silt Strider in the background and the distant lands just waiting to be explored all around me gave me goosebumps.

Too bad the rest of the game has dated. Still, nothing that can't be fixed by mods, and even the vanilla faces are preferable to Oblivion's shapeless hunks of flesh. Also, it's funny you said distant land, because vanilla morrowind doesn't actually have any distant land, that's why the game is so foggy. Again, though, fixable with mods.

[QUOTE=DesumThePanda;22407989]Killszone 2 AAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the way[/QUOTE] killzone 2 is awesome

Bioshock looks great, but in all honesty, my favorite-looking game of all time is Borderlands, hands down.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this one yet Dead Space Not only is this game scary as hell, but it looks great. The lighting especially when you see the shadows of monsters go around corners. The sound is also really good, and the whole thing comes together and makes space look scary as hell.

I second Dead Space.
