Best graphics of any game?

I remember entering the room, looking up
and thinking, "I've gotta get up THERE?"

The game starts looking ass once you get that open field area with dinosaurs roaming about. Worst grass ever!
No, but you were right! It's probably a glitch..
It clearly does not in my case, Uncharted 3 on the other hand is much crisper. Same goes for God of War III, best IQ I've seen (for a console game).

My TV's scaler is complete ass, so any console game looks terrible on it. I need to get an HDPVR and use my PC to scale them instead.
I'm looking this up. Always up for new things to fuck around with in Crysis.

You have not played Killzone 3 then.

While it isn't out yet, God of War Ascension looks like it could be a contender.
Every time I see that gif, it really makes me wish I actually liked the God of War series so I could get hyped for Ascension. Alas.

The argument of placing color and war torn environments escapes me.
That argument really cant be used for KZ3, though. The Jungle section proves that one.

In my case pretty much all Sony first party games that I have played look clean. I turned the sharpness down to 20 though...I also play console games without my glasses :/
yup....even some of the multiplayer maps are too colourful (like blood gracht)

Go play crysis 1 again, unmodded. It does simply not look like those screens, except maybe the one with the tank.
i have, and its a slight improvement over 2 but still is a very dull game, both graphically and gameplay
In terms of composition is MW2 actually quite amazing. That's also the reason why the graphics fall so apart when you walk off the beaten path.
I don't wear glasses.
My TV settings are good anyway, unfortunately I could not find how to enable AA.
Fair enough you are entitled to your opinion.
Damn that does look great for it's time. But fuck D-pad controls in a 3D world.
It's safe to assume Last Light on PC will look absolutely incredible.
DX11 + Physx = Glory.
I find myself really frustrated by people who are just linking games that they think look nice, rather than games that actually have great graphics. Uncharted 3 doesn't have great graphics--Halo 3 beats it with its absurd draw distance, far higher amounts of geometry, and tesselation in the water, for instance--it just has fantastic art design (and human faces that aren't terrible).
Come on, guys, stop confusing art design with technical graphics.
I think STALKER: Clear Sky is a pretty impressive game, given the batshit insane levels of detail going on in every shot, but at this current stage, I'm fairly certain that The Witcher 2 is the current graphics king. Looks like Halo 4's cut down on the draw distance quite massively, and all that stuff in its backgrounds is just 2D.

Do you have any kind of technical details to back this up ?
Do you have a source for this ?
See, you have to be very careful in your statements. The least you can do in that case is to elaborate on this.
I know that Reach features tessellated water, although the result is not impressive at all IMO.

I guess is just a demo
Wind Waker has longer draw distance and tessellation in the water baby.
The Witcher 2 still doesn't look all that amazing. I mean, it looks good, yes, but for all the hype with the graphics PCers throw around with this game it's a bit underwhelming. Perhaps it's hard to capture how good the game looks with snap shots, but the shots I've seen in this thread of Crysis blow it the hell away.
Care to name them, then?

So much love for The Witcher 2 and rightly so.
K3 was nice but honestly nothing special to me.

yeah, that grass was pretty embarrassing.
but don't forget the following chapter.
Eden (even at 720p the video looks badly compressed)

1200p screens of The Witcher 2. None of that 600p postage stamp imagery that makes everything look good.......
Why is everything so slimy?

wow that looks amazing! Too bad I never got to that chapter, I just couldn't defeat Vanille's eidolon. I honestly tried over 30 times... :/ I was actually starting to like the game too...

A lot of Crysis shots tend to be rendered at extreme resolutions and then downscaled which makes them look incredibly crisp, but it's not quite what it looks like when you play the game.
Yeah, XIII has some incredible stuff in it. Unfortunately XIII-2 ran worse, with worse image quality, and in my opinion, worse art. Hopefully XIII-3 is a stunner.
I got this using the Reallifesis mod downsampled from 1440p + 2xSGSSAA. (~30fps, and yes I play like that)
Party like it's 2005.

XIII-2 was obviously rushed....I doubt XIII-3 will look that good, it will also be rushed. FFVersus13 on the other hand will look amazing.

After going back and running through Eden it's actually a massive area in comparison to the rest of the game. Plenty of alternative paths and open scenery. Also some lovely pre-rendered backgrounds. It's really worth just going back and panning the camera around.
Far as I can tell XIII-2 didn't re-use any major assets from Eden and Nautilus so hopefully they bring them back in XIII-3 as they looked so impressive.

Well, to some extent I guess, it can make the foliage look a lot better, but at the same time the lighting is often what makes Crysis look good more often than the crispness of the image. It also works as anti-aliasing, so a lot of edges become incredibly smooth and there's some almost sub-pixel detail. Look for example at the distant trees in the 3rd shot.

Crysis 2 with some HiRes texture packs and a few lighting adjustments is crazy good looking.

Honestly, one of the best games I've seen visually overall (Graphics/Lighting/Art Direction, not just graphics) is Red Dead Redemption ( I know ) and I'm not even a Rockstar fan.
Just graphics wise I'd probably say Killzone 2/3 along with Gran Turismo 5. (I'm not a PC gamer).
No. Bring it on !

Witcher 2 looks good but has some really annoying shortcomings. I would put modded Skyrim over it.

I disagree on a few levels. Aesthetics are just what people think is beautiful. Graphics don't necessarily have to be beautiful to be good. Fidelity isn't a worthless goal. For example, if the game is trying to communicate a realistic, dark and oppressive feel then the graphics shouldn't be heavy in primary colors and cell shading. Even if people find those things to be beautiful.
Graphics include things like particle effects and animation, which Killzone 2 excels at. Crackdown 2 is also a pretty good looking game, so I'm not sure why he specifically called those out for bad aesthetics.
