25 Most Visually Appealing Games of 2013

Time, moving quickly as it always does at this time of the year, has left me in a bit of a daze. It barely feels like yesterday that 2012 was rolling around, and now 2013 is just around the corner; beckoning in yet another six month period where I will consistently fill out the year part of dates on forms incorrectly. 2013 won't be all about mistaking the date though, as graphics and processing power are set to improve, as they always do with time. Whilst we get old and decay, PCs and consoles only get better, meaning that we'll have some of the best looking games yet gracing our doorsteps in the coming months. We've lined up 25 of the best for your perusal."

not many people give a damn about Lost Planet 3

JsonHenry4148d ago

FAIL list. Put in Starcraft 2 expansion with its cartoony GFX but no mention of the Frostbite 2.0 Command and Conquer Generals 2 being released next year? Lawls!

Allsystemgamer4148d ago

At called art style. Read up on it. I guess borderlands looks bad to you huh?

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney4148d ago (Edited 4148d ago )

so if something is cartoony it's not visually appealing?

Command and Conquer Generals 2 to bad it's a f2p by EA. Game over..

piroh4148d ago

Beyond
Last of Us
GOW ascension
Last Guardian

in no specific order

ABizzel14148d ago

I love borderlands, but it's a bad example to use for proving cell shade is "visually appealing".

Not to mention You never see the game at that angel, when you're playing it. Try these instead.

And there's so much more. If that doesn't do it for you then nothing will.

Ezz20134148d ago

No one has faith in C&C Generals 2 anyways.

ABizzel14146d ago

Lol at all the disagrees. Those are games that don't rely on heavy processing and rending, but instead unique art style.

Project CARS
Command and Conquer Generals 2
Firefall
Total War: Rome 2

ALL should be on the list!

I have No clue how Starcraft 2 Heart of The Swarm made the list. Sure it has some nicely detailed units and a large amount of on screen units but Total War: Rome 2 flatout DESTROYS Starcraft 2 as far as Graphics!

Firefall is a the Best looking Cell Shaded game EVER. It makes Borderlands 2 PC look like CRAP!

Command and Conquer Generals 2 is on the Frostbite 2 engine and it will look PRETTY and play like CRAP....Thanks EA for once AGAIN screwing up a great series.

Project CARS kills every Racer as far as Graphics....and u can maybe even say Gameplay too and yes I 've been playing the ALPHA version and in it's ALPHA state P.C. is dam good!

PinkFunk4148d ago

Dayum. I've not really checked up on PC games in some time. Used to be a CS 1.3-1.6 player, then went to PS3. Love my PS3 exclusives.

But watching Firefall, Total War Rome 2, and Metro Last Light recently makes me really uh, whoa.

PC gaming has come a long way...

Jazz41084147d ago (Edited 4147d ago )

Piroh.. thats a perfect list for the sony lover. Should go over great on n4g.

Freak of Nature4147d ago

I will agree that Project cars looks fantastic! And still not totally polished.

Lost planet 3 also does look very good to great. as for the gameplay that is still up in the air for me.

I think the best lookers at this time keeping in mind there is still time for extra polish....

Not in order...

Watch Dogs
starwars 1313
metro: last light
crysis 3
BF4

consoles list not in order :

the last of us
god of war ascension
Grid 2
MGS:GZ
tomb raider
gears of war J

I think that **Media Molecule** with there new IP could be something extra special. We should be hearing more on the system Ps3 pr Ps4 soon, but I get a strong feeling it will be Ps4, to get it going in the fast lane fast.

I am surprised I don't see any mention of *Rayman legends*?

I also wonder about the next gen, any new yet to be seen IP's?

The **last guardian and Beyond good and evil 2** should be showing us something this year, but are both beyond 2013 I am guessing...

IAmLee4148d ago

WHY MUST THEY SPREAD IT OUT ACROSS SO MANY PAGES!

BISHOP-BRASIL4148d ago

Why must you type in caps lock? LOL

More pages demand more clicks. More clicks generate more ad money.

EddieNX 4148d ago

Resident evil revelations and Kid icarus uprising. The 2 most visualy appealing games of 2012. Nuff said....

charted4147d ago

You guys are crazy to leave out Metro: Last Light from your lists. It's gonna be good.

Get a decent graphics card and you can make a lot of games visually appealing.

Walker4148d ago

Isn't this just a list of games that are scheduled for 2013?
Some of this games haven't had a single screenshot released, like Battlefield 4.

Review - A Difficult Game About Climbing (PC) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Leo Faria: "A Difficult Game About Climbing is obviously frustrating, and I don’t exactly think it’s a fun pasttime, but it’s exponentially more enjoyable than the horrendous Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy. It’s actually beatable with enough trial and error. Its mechanics, whilst not exactly polished to the brim, work as intended, with no intentional input lag. It’s still clearly meant for Let’s Play youtubers to film themselves losing their minds over it, but it can still be a passable challenge if you’re up for the task."

Review - New Star GP (PC) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Leo Faria: "I loved that New Star GP ended up being nothing like what I was expecting from it. I thought I was going to get a simple and straightforward love letter to Virtua Racing, only for it to be something more akin to the best F1 racing games from the mid to late 90s, with a perfect blend of accessible physics and simulation elements. New Star GP is adorably retro in its visuals and vibes, but it’s got some surprising amount of depth and an interesting career mode. A little hidden gem in the racing scene, without a doubt."
