GH’s Top 10 Most Visually Stunning HD Games of the Last Generation

Gamer Headlines writes:

"The list contains video games from the last generation, which have not only the best graphics, but inspire with aesthetics, impress with stunning visual effects, move with their graphical fidelity as well as deliver on good quality textures. As you are now aware what we mean by visually stunning games of the last generation, you probably know how hard it was far us to choose just ten from the long list of games."

Beyond: Two Souls didn't get an honorable mention?

Nerdmaster3724d ago

It deserved one of the top spots on the list.

Roccetarius3724d ago

Considering the compromises they had to make, i agree with the author that it's not impressive as a whole. Plus, these games have all been released on PC as well.

WeAreLegion3724d ago

I know. I play them all on PC. They're all gorgeous. Beyond holds its own though.

GamingGod3583724d ago

It was mentioned, if you read carefully .. :D

SonyStyled3724d ago

U3's graphics are far better than 2's. but with no PS3 exclusives on the list, clearly this guy doesnt own a playstation 3

fonger083724d ago

I wouldn't say they are that much better. UC2 was one of the few games this gen that made me say "wow." But I agree, this list is comprised of Xbox360/PC, I can't really tell what system(s) he's using. Personally I didn't think Metro looked all that great on the 360.

matt1393724d ago

Clearly you have never gamed on a maxed out PC. All of those games listed on PC on full settings demolish any ps3 title in terms of graphics.

fonger083724d ago (Edited 3724d ago )

@matt139 oh I agree, FarCry is amazing maxed out. I guess I'm just confused about on what system he's referencing these games to. If they are PC games, well then theres really refute this list casue as maxed PC games they are all very impressive. Please don't make this about PC vs console thing, they are two very different setups.

webeblazing3724d ago

pc version of those game looks better than next gen games says something

Pandamobile3724d ago

...or PS3 exclusives don't really have good enough graphics to be part of this list.

Uncharted 3 is probably one of the best looking PS3 games, but it gets blown out of the water by stuff like Tomb Raider, Battlefield and Crysis.

GamingGod3583724d ago

Actually I do own a PS3 .. I love both beyond: two souls, the last of us and the whole uncharted franchise .. been a PS fanboy for quite a while now ...

HOWEVER, the set criteria for the top ten is mentioned in the beginning of my article .. if you read carefully .. you will see why the games are not included :P

I would love it if Far Cry came to PS4.

Hicken3724d ago

Wait... so it's the best looking games of last gen... then he uses ALL PC games, when PC HAS NO GENS?

"Generation" is a console-exclusive kinda thing. So how can you make a list of the best ANYTHING of the last generation, and NOT use the console version?

webeblazing3724d ago

you have a point he maybe was using the article to downplay next gen consoles because next gens are just starting to come close to these gfx. i doubt we would see a game that looks better than metro, crysis, arma this year and those games came out last year around this time(expect arma).

Pandamobile3724d ago

A "gen" is more of a timeframe than anything.

Hicken3724d ago

I call BS. These games may have been part of the seventh generation of consoles, but they weren't part of any PC generation. Which means they should be comparing the console versions, if they're going by generation.

Now, if they were talking years, that'd be another story.

Pandamobile3724d ago

Get over it? People use the term "gen" to describe slightly different things. If that offends you, you might wanna consider relaxing a little bit.

GamingGod3583724d ago

Does no one here actually READ?

The first two para .. please m8 ... don't make me repeat myself ... read the first two para of the article :P

The Best Tomb Raider Games Ranked

We've gone on many adventures with Lara Croft. With another reboot in the making, Wealth of Geeks felt it was a good time to go down the nostalgia rabbit hole and remember the best of those tomb-raiding thrills.

I do agree that Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness was the worse one 😂 I remember playing some of it and I took it back. That game was just awful in every way. I bought it used at gamestop and glad they had that 7 day return policy for used games 😂

Pyrofire9554d ago

Would it be worth saying why?

ZeekQuattro54d ago

Simple. He's been hating on the Tomb Raider reboots for years. I can't imagine seeing them at the top of a best TR game list let alone being on the list in general sitting well with him because of it.

-Foxtrot54d ago

Zeek

“Hating”

No no, just pointing out how TR mutated into a generic action adventure game losing the appeal of what it once was when it was more about puzzles and platforming over going Rambo, slaughtering waves of enemies

But hey, continue being a dick and speaking about me like I’m not going to see the comment.

MeatyUrologist54d ago

Foxtrot, I'm curious if you have played the most recent games. Sure the 2013 reboot was hugely focused on combat, but each follow up became less and less about combat to the point where outside of a few large scale story missions I don't even remember combat being a part of shadow of the tomb raider. Shadow was so puzzle focused it actually was a bit much for me and I love the TR puzzles.

I still feel like Rise was the best of the series and I was a huge fan of the originals. To me it struck the perfect balance of exploration, platforming, puzzles, and combat. Not saying your opinion is wrong I'm just curious what you think they should have done different. Games do need to evolve somewhat to stay relevant. Would you prefer small linear jumping platform levels like the original?

RavenWolfx55d ago

I would agree Rise for 1 and the reboot as 2. Shadow is a bit high, though.

Sonic188155d ago (Edited 55d ago )

I think Shadow wasn't even develop by crystal dynamics. I thought it was the worse in the new trilogy

Pyrofire9554d ago

That's right. Shadow was developed by Eidos Montreal who who went and made Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy next. (Great game)
Meanwhile after Rise of the Tomb Raider, Crystal Dynamics made Marvels Avengers. (bad game)

MeatyUrologist54d ago

Agrees. First two are correct but Shadow should be around 5-6.

terstomp54d ago

For me, Legend should be alot higher (along with the other two ). Shadow, I enjoyed it, but has too much has fluff, as modern games tend to do. Playing the remastered series, and apart from the controls, is very good.

jznrpg54d ago

I really enjoyed the first 2 games, Legend and the first of the reboots and the rest I didn’t get into so I never finished.

robtion54d ago

Completely subjective list. I really liked Underworld, I preferred Lara's design. That said I loved the horror/uncharted feel of the reboot. I think all the TR games have strengths and weaknesses. None are objectively better in every way.

Metro Video Game Series: A Comprehensive History

The Metro video game series started with a humble b-list title, before building a strong fanbase and becoming a pioneer in the industry.

TheBrainZ72d ago

Never got into Exodus, but 2033 was excellent.

kevco3372d ago

Yeah, Exodus just didn't grab me either, sadly.

I absolutely loved 2033 and Last Light, however. Played them both on 360 and then again with the remasters!

anast71d ago

I just started it and it is already miles better than the first 2 which are dated.
