[Guest]

If you could nominate 5 games to win a best graphic award, what games they would be?

Thanks for your opinions, im just kinda new on the pc gaming and just want to know...

1. BF3 - the graphics looks so sharp and solid, 1st time I really appreciated DX11
2. Witcher 2 - it has the best looking virtual naked girls, seriously, on a technical stand point
3. Just Cause 2 - not a popular choice but the graphics on this game is really awesome considering the games scope
4. Crysis 2 - i really didnt like the game but in terms of graphics, its superb
5: GTA IV - with the real life graphics MOD

1 or 2? I am seeing here a lot of people post that Crysis is a great game graphically speaking, but what i cant understand is that the first crysis is actually better in graphics than crysis 2? or they have the same graphics?

I've never been able to make up my mind. I've seen a lot of amazing mod work with both engines. I think I prefer the scale and FoV used in Crysis 1......it seems to make playing other FPS's feel so constricted. I like the lighting in Crysis 2.

Both engines are capable producing incredible graphic quality.

I've played this mod before (Extreme Immersive Mod + Reli2 ToD) and I just couldn't handle it...but it gave me one of those rare experiences while playing a game where I'm just in awe of my surroundings.

I feel like Crysis 1 is the pinnacle of "clean" PC graphic quality. JMO though.

Elder Scrolls Oblivion is right up there.

Crysis 2 dx11 use of tessellation is certainly eye catching and definitely the best use of tessellation I've ever seen, and overall, the graphics are very impressive, BUT Crysis 1's setting in on a jungle with wide open spaces is just awesome.

If you took Crysis 2's Dx11 engine and applied it to Crysis 1, it would likely be much better than the current Crysis 1.

BF3
Crysis 1
Dungeons & Dragons Online

In terms of hard detail, Crysis 2 with DX11 will obviously beat Crysis 1 (it's a lot newer, you can't compare the two). In terms of accomplishment, no game will ever beat what Crysis 1 accomplished all those years ago.

 

[iGGY-101]

Crysis 1
Metro 2033
Battlefield 3
DiRT 3
Grand Theft Auto IV

Out of all those I would go Battlefield 3 for best graphics!

 

[FlintIronStagg]

GTA4 looked like garbage. or are you talking after that insane mod?

 

[Logan_89]

Add Mirror's Edge to the list.

 

[mouse24]

I found GTA IV to look pretty crap, especially for the type of rig required

On the other hand I found Just Cause 2 to look damn nice!

Add Mirror's Edge to the list.

Howso? It's the old frostbite engine which was nice but doesn't really push any of the graphical limitations of that engine. You like the art style which I understand, but that's a different topic.

I believe Mirror's Edge was Unreal 3. Nonetheless, I agree....graphically - meh, but art direction? Fantastic.

Ah yes you're right. Still, same argument regardless.

It never ceases to amaze me in every thread like this there are many that confuse art direction with technical graphics. I think I already said that earlier.

I prefer art direction over technical graphics, you can add any amount of tessellation you want to a gray slab of concrete, at the end of the day a multi colored 32bit slab is gonna look more interesting

Tesselation doesn't mean its technically advanced. Scale, effects, and texture fidelity pulled together to create eye gouging visuals makes something that's technically advanced.
AvP had Tesselation but looked like ass.
Wither 2 didn't, and looked amazing.

I believe the point is that this thread is about graphic quality and not art direction. Perhaps a thread about "best art direction" is in order....I believe it would be quite interesting.

According to art direction, a few games are worth a mention: Mirror's Edge, LA Noire, Assassin's Creed: Revelations and Prince of Persia(2008). As for games with best graphics, I'll go with Crysis 2, Battlefield 3, Rage, Mass Effect 2 and Batman Arkham City. I'd also like to mention Just Cause 2 and Dirt 3. I'm waiting for Hitman Absolution and ARMA 3.
P.S. I'm talking about PC Games only.

Quoting his spam message increases his number of posts on the links, increasing the effect of his spam. All you really have to do is report his message as spam and ignore him further. I hate spambots :/

What if we quote a quote of his quote that someone quoted? Quote-ception ....

Minecraft with 128 texture pack + water mod + that one mod that is slipping my mind atm....

Edit: GSL Shader mod was the name, video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kubT9_IiCmo

Edit 2: there is also this video I have found: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raR9kd0fGuY (Ignore the bad porn music)

Note: thos videos kinda have to be run at 1080 otherwise they are gonna look like mud

or the quote of someone quoting the quote of the first quote? Mind boggling

 

[wolfram23]

1) Battlefield 3
2) Crysis
3) The Witcher 2
4) Metro 2033
5) Crysis 2

Honorable mentions:
-STALKER: Call of Pripyat (Good DX11 use, great atmosphere, improved with texture packs)
-Dirt 3/F1 2010 (or 2011) (I put them together since they're Codemaster games on the same engine)
-Skyrim (not really the best graphics without mods, but the huge expansive scenery that is actually rendered and not just a picture of mountains, etc, is pretty awesome)

There's probably some other good ones too, maybe some MMOs or something. These are the ones I've played.

This is a thread about the graphically best games. Why would COD have any place in it? Not trolling, but COD is not remotely challenging even for dated computers to run, and doesn't look very good by comparison to anything mentioned in the thread.

Admitedly I haven't played any of the games mentioned here.
But I have played FPS games for years, and I have to mention some of my favorite, and I believe quit good on graphics as well-

1. Call of Duty - Modern Warfare. Both SP and MP have great graphics.
2. Battlefield 2142 and its expansion pack.
other than Command and Conquer 3 expansion pack Kane's Revenge, those are the games I'm currently playing and love.

Good graphics - Doom 3. (Each Doom was great for its day, but now that real realistic graphics are here, we can only give props for 'good in its day' to any other Doom game.

Delta Force Land Warrior and Day of Defeat were also great games and had good/great graphics, but now are too dated by todays standards.

P.S.
When I was heavy into gaming, no matter what the technology or year, if I remember correctly, my graphics card always cost about $200 and was a best bang for the buck kinkd of card. And due to its size, I would only get an ATX motherboard. And I think the Video card always had about 1/4 the memory of my system memory. Today, thats 4 GB for the mobo, 1 GB for the video card.
