    Default What do YOU think is the best looking console game?

    This is usually a interesting debate. Taking into account the best looking games on every current platform, one can structure a pretty decent argument. I'd like to include games that havent been released (but of course screenshots or trailers have).

    Anywho, i'm torn between a couple games. Halo 2 seems to have amazing graphics, but Reisdental Evil 4 really gives it a run for its money (Take into account all movies and screens for RE4 were taken alomost a year ago). The question is, which one looks superior? i honestly couldnt give a accurate decision considering i havent played either of them.

    What do you guys think is the best looking console game?

    I have seen pics and trailers for Halo 2 and yes the game does look promising and does have some great gfx, but i have yet to see the RE 4 screens. So if someone could point me into the direction of some RE 4 screens i would be much abliged, and i would get back to u on the answer that i have chosen

    *Saw screens of RE 4 and was overwelmed*

    Now that i saw some screens from both games i would have to say that Halo 2 has the better gfx only cause its on the X-Box and that the NGC has pushed ther visuals to the max to get this game the gfx its been diserving for awhile. Now i say once/if RE 4 goes over to the X-Box that the gfx engancements will over power Halo. Thus saying i gove the better gfx to Halo 2. That is till RE 4 goes over to the X-Box

    Heh, chances are the RE4 will go over the xbox(of all things) is very slim. Capcoms projects never get to far on the xbox, and i wouldnt see them porting their highest profile game (arguably, onimusha 3 is pretty high profile) on xbox. I dont think just because a game is on xbox it can have better graphics and such. Yes it may have superior hardware (Not by a whole lot) but if a game is built from the ground up on GCN hardware it can utilize all the GCN's power, and if you look at the screens of RE4 you can tell its running on a pretty powerfull engine.

    Oh and just for the record, RE4 is running all in REAL TIME meaning the games backrounds arent pre rendered anymore.

    Halo 2 just looks great, its bump mapped up the hizzle and uses some crazy ass lighting effects. The character models are all top notch and all the effects that are on screen at once are just amazing.




    I'm still turn between which looks better, i've seen all the trailers for both games and their all amazing.

    With all that being said ARush, i went back and looked at the Pics for both RE 4 and Halo 2, and RE 4 looks alot better than Halo 2. Maybe its b/c im not a big fan of Halo and really love every single RE game that was ever made, or b/c that the RE 4 screens look alot better by fact. So my choice goes with "Resident Evil 4".

    I give you: the liscenced game out of nowhere.

    Honestly, the fact that such care is being put into a liscenced game is unbelievable. The fact that it's Transformers kicks ass. And suprisingly, it's supposed to be quite good. Almost every gaming site/mag that has gotten their hands on a playtest version said it plays extremely well, and has major potential to go much further. Makes me wish I had a PS2.

    Seeming as how were on the which game has better graphics topic, lets talk about some pecific games. First is Ninja gaiden.
    http://media.xbox.ign.com/media/482/482221/imgs_1.html

    This game looks pretty damn good. Super high poly character models, detailed enviroment and sufficent lightening effects (the shadows and stuff arent really up to par with the rest of the game). The game is pretty stylized too, i dont know about you but i think the game just drips of the team ninja style (maybe because its a team ninja game haha) and everything looks kind of shiny. that takes away from the realism but makes it looks pretty damn cool.

    Next let's take a look at Metal Gear Solid: The twin Snakes.
    http://media.cube.ign.com/media/535/535845/imgs_1.html. This game here is up to par and in some cases superior to the kick ass MGS2OL. that alone being said should make anyone who's played MGS2 interested, ultra realistic char models, great lightens, detailed backround...its all here. MGS:TTS is a graphical power house.

    ...more to come. too tired to look up more games.

    Right now, I have to say that Silent Hill 3 is the best looking game right now. It's absolutly gorgous. And of course, MGS2 looks great if not a little outdated today. Twin Snakes and Snake Eater will change that though.

    well,i'm waiting for a lil' something called ninja gaiden for xbox
    they spent a helluva long time developing it,and from the previews i've seen so far,they have something to show for their efforts.
    silent hill 3,if 4 is scarier than this one,due to my over compulsive disorder about the silent hill series, i'll buy it.and never sleep again.
    seven samurai 20xx(is that the name?).i've seen only one preview of it,and it sure looked good then.i'm looking forward to a good excuse in this game,for the title.
    MGS:TTS is not included in this list,because i didn't bother to waste my time,drooling over pictures of a game, whose system,i'll never have enough cash to buy.

    Currently listening to:
    Isis ~ Panopticon [9/10]
    The Walkmen ~ Bows & Arrows [8.5/10]
    The Shins ~ Oh, Inverted World
    Explosions In The Sky ~ How Strange, Innocence
    Caribou ~ The Milk of Human Kindness
    J�hann J�hannsson ~ Vir�ulegu Forsetar

    This doesn't really make for a good debate, given that this is all a matter of opinion. What looks good to one person, may not look as good to another.

    [in my opinion]

    available now: Silent Hill 3 (PC Version, due to ridiculously awesome resolution upgrades)

    coming soon: either doom 3, ninja gaiden, or silent hill 4
