11 upcoming games that will blow you away graphically

VGarabia.com: We are now living in the HD era, and with each year pass us away, we still continuously seeing video game developers who are trying to push the boundaries with new engines, special tricks and visual effects in an attempt to impress us (gamers) and to bring non gamers to game.

Great graphics doesn't always make a great game, but if a certain game does have good gameplay, but bad graphics, it's undoubtedly will lessen the experience as a whole.

[mrv321]

I voted Heavy Rain it looks so much more than a game.

I disagree with Lost Planet I played the demo and wasn't blown away.

[hardcore1912]

The game is on par with the best, no doubt about it.

[Sunny_D]

I'm with The Last Guardian on this one. Sometimes, having the most photorealistic graphics can be a bit bland. :/ So, even though Heavy Rain is looking very realistic, it's a style that other devs try to recreate. However, TLG will have that realistic look along with an art style that will make you feel lost in a fantasy world. It will truely be one of a kind.

[mrv321]

It's just my impression from the demo. It's my opinion, and your welcome to yours. I just wasn't blown away as I was with Killzone 2 for example.

You are welcome to disagree but I'll admit this my view was tainted by the HORRID controls, I almost felt sick. They are almost as bad as Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2's

EDIT: I am not the one disagreeing with you. But decided to click agree because your opinion is never wrong to you.

[immortal84]

It's your opinion and I respect that. But in my opinion the game look freaking good, it's like RE 5 but with better graphics, physics and more things happening at the screen. BTW, Heavy Rain graphics are fantastic.

[GWAVE]

No 360 game belongs on that list. Sorry, but we've seen gameplay of Alan Wake and Splinter Cell: Conviction.

While they don't look BAD, their graphics don't even come close to "blowing me away graphically". The era of 360 graphics going toe-to-toe with PS3 graphics are over.

[SnuggleBandit]

I don't think lost planet belongs on that list either. God of war will be the most impressive in my opinion(huge titans, head rip, zipper tech, etc)

[Greywulf]

That demo was not on par with anything blowing anyone away. They need to stick to showing off the PC version with extra fx or something.

The game looks good,but we are well past the days of thinking normal maps with gloss is amazing. The 360 hasn't managed to blow away anyone with visuals in 5 years, doubt next year will be any different.

[droid and bot]

MGS:R in that list ??

we haven't seen anything out of that game
maybe he should just take it out and make it 10
or add GT5

[ZombieAutopsy]

I think theyre taking into account that it'll look just as good (if not better) than MGS4 according to Kojima-san, i personally wouldnt of put the game on the list without at least a screenshot of it but whatever.

[Timesplitter14]

I'm not sure if anything this gen can beat Uncharted 2.

I didn't even know it was possible to reach this quality with current gen hardware

[BYE]

From playing the demo I think Lost Planet 2 looks solid. Just what you'd expect from a sequel.

But is it up there with the best? No.

[Sitdown]

"No 360 game belongs on that list. Sorry, but we've seen gameplay of Alan Wake and Splinter Cell: Conviction."

Have you also seen gameplay for Mass Effect 2 and Assassins Creed 2?

On another, and slightly random note.....as I was typing this post, I just saw the first Forza 3 commercial...it was on ESPN during half time of the Michigan/Penn State game.

[Harry_Manback]

And especially now, after playing Uncharted 2...LP2 REALLY looks terrible

[sikbeta]

About the list:

.FF13 = Wrong -> FFv13 will have better graphics
.GOW3 = Right
.MGS: Risen (?) - MGS: Rising = Wrong -> being multiplat will f*ck PS3 port
.Crysis 2 = Right, is Crysis nobody can deny It
.Alan Wake = probably, no longer Open-World in order to look better (compression matters)
.Heavy Rain = Right
.Assassin Creed 2 = Wrong -> being multiplat will f*ck PS3 port
.Lost Planet 2 = probably It has better graphics than RE5 but again multiplat
.Mass Effect 2 = probably, but is gonna have the same problems as the First
.Splinter Cell: Conviction = Wrong
.The Last Guardian = Probably, as always Team Ico will put great graphics, but It has a lot of competition this time

When I'm saying "multiplat is gonna f*ck PS3 port", I'm not refering as the xbox to be the problem, I state my opinion that Devs are incompetents dealing with Ports

[WinterWolf]

To me...it is not all about pixels and triangles. I am just amazing by the artistic value of The Last Guardian visuals. It is bold, creative, inspired, and set apart.

[Yarite]

Not expecting pure eye sex Uncharted 2 graphics with any of these games but that won't stop them from looking impressive.

Anyway I agree with them all minus....

Mass Effect 2 (Looks colorless)
Lost Planet 2 (Some screens I have seen look like a pure mess)
MGS Rising (I know Kojima said it will look better then 4 but that could be PR. Also I mean WTF we haven't even seen a screenshot yet...)

I was really surprised with the latest FFXIII screens I saw which are all real time in-game graphics.

http://i38.tinypic.com/v6rq...
http://i34.tinypic.com/2db2...
http://i38.tinypic.com/espx...
http://i36.tinypic.com/242h...

One thing about Final Fantasy is they always have breath taking locations that your mind could only imagine if you were completely high.

I really like the look of this new location in the latest Famitsu scan. (also in-game image)

http://i38.tinypic.com/mmv7...

Just looks like such a nice place to explore.

[blusoops]

Where the hell is GRAN TURISMO 5?!!!
that's gonna blow away any one still considering buying a PS3...it's gonna look fantastic.
BTW i agree with 1.0 I played the lost planet demo, and it wasn't anything special, i thought RE5 looked better, but that's just my opinion. maybe the final version will look better.
As far as the list goes, my vote goes to heavy rain, then GOW3, then last guardian.

[Xbox Avatars Shoe]

That list sucked! They have a bunch of 360 and multiplatform games but no GT5 WTF?!

Alan Wake
Splinter Cell: Conviction
Mass Effect 2
Assassin Creed 2
Lost Planet 2

In order for something to "blow you away," it has to make you say "OMG! No way! That's crazy!" and none of those make you say that. KZ2 and U2 set the new graphics benchmark so if order for something to "blow me away," they have to surpass those and no 360 game ever will. Those all look GOOD, but nothing that will "blow you away." They're all 360 games and the 360 is clearly maxed. Gears 2 was supposed to be the 360's landmark graphical power house and it wasn't anything special. Uncharted 2 has graphics that "blow you away," but no 360 does or will. I played the LP2 demo and was very disappointed in it's graphics! It's just using the RE5 engine so I doubt they're gonna radically improve the graphics.

FFXIII's graphics have already been dumbed down due to the 360 so it won't be mind-blowing. Just compare the old in-game screenshots to the new and you'll see the downgrade, especially the textures. The textures are now "drawn-on" instead of 3D.

You can't say MGSR will have mind-blowing graphics just because a rep said so *face palm* Reps exaggerate all the time and they still haven't finished the engine so they might even be overestimating the 360's capabilities. Even if it DOES look better than MGS4, MGS4 doesn't look that good anymore. MGS4 had awesome facial movements but Uncharted 2's are better as are the graphics. LBP and KZ2 look better than MGS4 when comparing sheer graphics.

Heavy Rain is already mind-blowing and I'm sure GoW3 will be too since the PS3 isn't maxed (unlike the 360) and the GoW3 devs are amazing. And where the fvck is GT5?! That game looks real!

[prabx]

If it were my list of upcoming games that will blow you away graphically:

God Of War
Crysis 2
Heavy Rain
Last Guardian
GT5 (instead of Lost Planet 2)
Mafia II (instead of Alan Wake) - Looks FR!CK!N sick!
FFvs13

[7ero H3LL]

At (GWAVE)

-"No 360 game belongs on that list. Sorry, but we've seen gameplay of Alan Wake and Splinter Cell: Conviction."

was that a compliment or was that being OFFENSIVE, speak plainly please.

[heroicjanitor]

We all know it will be the best looking(on pc at least) on consoles I'd vote god of war 3, I'd put it ahead of crysis 2 console versions by a long way.

[zeeshan]

Not trying to be a fanboy here but I voted for Heavy Rain and when I saw the results, I immediately noticed that all the top 5 games are on PS3 with 3 of them being exclusive to PS3. It kind of screams PS3 power we all have been hearing about ever since it was introduced. GOOD JOB SONY!

[bnaked]

FF13 is looking average..

Where are the details in background? lol compare it to games like Uncharted 2 or even Resident Evil 5! It's strange, but the short FF14 gameplay szenes are looking much better..

[CLANCY BROWN]

Heavy rain is not a game. It is an interactive movie you could probably play with a dvd remote. A whole game of qte- how queer.It's a noir version of DRAGON'S LAIR AND SPACE ACE from the 80's.The only reason people care about this so called game is because it is exclusive to the ps3.This one will make MGS 4 cutscenes look tame by comparison.I just cannot get excited by a glorified choose your own adventure book- also from the 80's .-coincidental?

[ThanatosDMC]

LP2 will be a great co-op game but not the best looking one out there.

Last Guardian by far looks like the best out of all the games that are coming out. Heck, it looks even better than Uncharted 2 with those trailer in-game vids.

AVP3 will look better than most UE3 games.

I'm really curious about Dead Rising 2 and how many zombies will be on screen. I hope there's a way to play it co-op. Not deathmatch games or the like but just plain co-op. Full co-op would be just great.

I'm still not sure about CryEngine since we havent seen much of a game for it running on the PS3. I say PS3 since no FPS game on the console has topped Killzone 2, yet.

[bnaked]

@CLANCY BROWN

It's not a game, it's more..

It's like playing a LA Crash game, but you can decide..

An emotional experience..

I can't wait..

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

@Yarite

Don't ilude yourself. FF XIII looks well within the actual standard, but nothing to write home about.

The first pic is pre-rendered.

2nd, 3rd e 5th are non combat setting. Those always look good for the static part (backgroung, 3D scene) but animated models will look like they do in-combat. I can't see anything in those screenshots that looks to be animated in the game, can you?

The 4th is actual in-game combat. It obviously not only look much worse than 1st (pre-rendered) for textures, hair, cloth and general details but it also has much simpler background than other settings.

Judging from this image, if this will be within the FF XII or Crisis Core line of combat, this is F*ed up since those backgrounds looks more like what you would expect from a turn based RPG that take the battle to a generic arena where you can't move... Looks like there will be nothing happening and the enviroment lacks detail.

And this is as an RPG... There are few characters at screen, the animations are almost all scripted (there is practically no hit detection or any physics based animations) and most of the time effects in general are more beautiful than demanding (nothing wrong here but phew phew shots and that glowing sword trail don't justify) so there is no reason to FFXIII looks like that.

Maybe I'm being too harsh for just one pic, but from all I have seen, expect awesome graphics from FF is delusional.

[Jaces]

Alan Wake does look pretty good but nothing mindblowing, that also goes for Assassins Creed, Splinter Cell, and Lost Planet 2.

Don't get me wrong, they look great, but again...nothing mindblowing.

[kalebgray92]

how can you not have gt5 on the list?

[Ravage27]

First of all, where's GT5? <- When it comes to graphics, GT is king

LostPlanet2 looks alright, but i wouldn't put it in my list unless there isn't much competition. The trademark weaknesses of the MT frame engine is still apparent. Fugly water and splash effects(rain doesn't interact with anything,was expecting it to bounce off my character) and the lighting still needs work. Looks better than RE5 though.

MG Rising (no gameplay footage so no point talking about it)
ME2 (don't see that much of an improvement over the 1st one, and ME1 isn't exactly pretty,hope they fixed the framerate issue this time)
SCC (um...not really)
AC2 (hopefully,i like the art style of the series)
Alanwake (have not watched any vids so no comments)

i voted the last guardian. man, have you guys seen the trailers? it's AMAZING. that animal looks 100% realistic and lifelike, and the graphics just take you away on a journey of your mind into a whole other dimension. this is what matters to me.

[mal_tez92]

Crysis 2 will look amazing on high end PC's but I'm not sure how good the console versions will look.

[KiRBY3000]

PS3 exclusives:
God of War 3 (24%, 738 Votes)
The Last Guardian (18%, 560 Votes) <--- my vote :)
Heavy Rain (17%, 538 Votes)
total: 59%

360 exclusives:
Alan Wake (3%, 96 Votes)
Mass Effect 2 (2%, 63 Votes)
Splinter Cell: Conviction (2%, 60 Votes)
total: 7%

i think its clear which system blow people away graphically.

btw, why isnt GT5 on that list? that game's graphics compete with real life.

and Lost Planet, are you serious? from what i've seen in the demo, it doesnt even look as good as RE5. RE5 real time cut scenes are magnificent.

[Noct]

It looks amazing.

kthnxbai.

[mikeslemonade]

I don't consider most of these games to have that impressive looking graphics. Uncharted 2 smashes all these games basically. Gran Turismo 5, Crysis 2, Heavy Rain, and the Last Guardian(maybe) belong on the list. Alan Wake is a joke why even put it on the list it's one of the most overated games. Watch Alan Wake turn into Too Human...

[Microsoft Xbox 360]

You must have really low standards to think Lost Planet 2 looks good.

[DevastationEve]

Heavy Rain? They have atmosphere and animation but the graphics I wouldn't say would be where it shines. Maybe some of the environments, I like how they try to come as close to a complete world as they can.

Again though, the texture work is going to be thinned out as they have to work with quite a bit. I guess on the scale of it Heavy Rain's graphics do impress, but they're about as good as they can be given how huge the environments are.

edit: Lost Planet 2 easily beats out every game in that list. MT Framework 2.0 is one tough engine to compete with.

[ZombieAutopsy]

Looking forward to every game on their except prolly Alan Wake, seems too much like Alone in the Dark. Voted for God Of War 3 not really because i think itll be the best looking (it will be one of the best this gen though) but i think itll have amazing graphics and an even better art style (not to mention AAA gameplay).

[Kain81]

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Sunny_D]

Is that really gamplay from the latest build? It looks completely different from what I've seen! Kick@ss!

[ZombieAutopsy]

damn whenever i see screen or footage of that game it makes me wanna break into the Santa Monica Studio and steal everything they have for GoW3. The only reason i dont is so they make it look even better than it already is :P

[crazydrummerlad1]

whoa the screen at 0:56 looks incredible. i never paused it there to notice all that detail!!!

[Darkeyes]

I bet on GOW3 and Heavy Rain to push boundaries like UC2 did, which is not only in graphics, but amount of things on screen (implies for GOW3) and just the detailing of environment and gameplay. Crysis 2 also will be a good bet and I look forward to see how the console versions pan out (Crysis 2 on PC already can be tagged as the best looking game without even seeing any gameplay... 1st one still hasn't been dethroned).

I am sure even TLG will be great looking, but I have a gut feeling it will be pushed to 2011. Even Assassin's Creed 2 looks great for an open world game and could easily be the best looking game in that category. On the 360, I feel Alan Wake looks great, even better than SC:C, but Ubisoft said they delayed SC to polish, so don't now how it's gonna be. Either ways, awesome looking games are coming out next year.

And no list of best looking games is complete without GT5...

[DonCorneo]

GT > Real

[chrisulloa]

You probably don't go out much.

[TheXgamerLive]

god of war III, sorry but all previous footage if this looks like god of war II, so this is a major joke.

[ZombieAutopsy]

Your kidding right about GoW3 looking like GoW2, Gow3 looks better than the CG that was in Gow2. I know its not the best looking game ever but its better than most that are out now and they still have 5 more months to polish it.

[Ninjamonkey82]

Expct for crysis none of them upcomers hold a candle next to Uncharted 2. Final Fantasy the gfx lay in the videos. simple as that never liked them games. Mass effect static worlds you cant even jump in. Splintercell xboxes last great hope. Bah

[crazydrummerlad1]

i voted heavy rain after long debatin between gow3 n heavy rain. theyre both gonna b amazin

[crazydrummerlad1]

i shoulda voted gow3....

[Timesplitter14]

I'm sure GoW3 will be a great game but I don't expect it to impress graphically.

[Wallonsi]

Where's GT5?

[Sunny_D]

I guess they wanted games with people or characters in them.

[slipkoRn]

there are people in cars

[ApocalypseShadow]

8 of them must be for ps3,and the other 3 for PC.

looks at the article........

3 are for ps3,5 are multiplats and the other 3 are for 360.

1 of the 3 for 360 was for pc and was downgraded.the 2nd looked poor next to mgs4 and was scrapped and started over.the 3rd game actually has a good scifi feel to it.

the article should have a 12th known game in GT5.as it is the best looking racer coming next year.

[BYE]

Kinda pathetic that they have MGS Rising in there.

Why not put Agent, Killzone 3, Halo: Reach and other games we have seen no footage whatsoever for in there, too?

[Sunny_D]

Yeah, but MGS4 looks sooo good. We just have to take Kojima production's word for it.Hopefully, the guy is talking about the Ps3 version that will look better than MGS4.

[immortal84]

regarding Agent there is no information about the engine the game is going to use, Killzone 3 is still unannounced and Halo: Reach is the same thing as Agent.

Kojima Productions has promised a better looking game in MGS: Rising than MGS4, that's why it's in the list.

[BYE]

He has to say this for marketing reasons.

If he says that it will not match MGS4 graphics all the hype would be gone immediately.

[foxtheory]

is a fail. But I do agree with the majority of these. Although Alan Wake has average visuals from what I've seen. It doesn't "blow me away", but it does what it's suppose to do well. God of War 3 anf FF13 will be amazing.

And it's "Rising", not "Risen". It even says it on the picture! lol!!

[Kalowest]

I agree with you some what about Alan Wake's visuals, it doesn;t come close to GoW3 or FF13 but, it still has alot going for it, with its own unique gameplay, lighting effects, and environments.

PS. Where the f#ck is GT5

[Oldsnake007]

Talking about good graphics and realism and dont mentioning GT 5 is EPIC FAIL !

[stb]

And where the holy fck is

Gran turismo five, screw this sht.

Alan wake, and not gt5...ok cute post.

but aside of alan wake. all the others are fine, except for not posting GRAN TURISMO FIVE, stupid site.

[leshtricity]

i am so disappointed with N4G.

it seems like there are absolutely no standards when it comes to stories being posted. i cannot abide these little dinky websites that have no grasp on professionalism, let alone any grammatical finesse. and i'm sorry, but internet media is still media- and it's embarrassing that these websites get any kind of attention via N4G. most of them are glorified blogs.

ridiculous.

[STONEY4]

Why is Lost Planet 2 even there? I played the demo, and it looked awful. Textures were crap, rain effects suck, and things look low poly.

[Ninji]

I slowly scrolled down the list and saw the first game.

Best game beside of, heavy rain, lost guardian, oh my goodness, ps3 the best so far. guess these studios are in a war for see who get the best game ever. insoniac, santa monica, and the one of ico and softc.

[Ninji]

Joke article.

[360r0xorz]

hahahah and not a single one of those is on the ps3 hahahahah soooooo typical of such a last gen technology system hahahahahahahn what else was i supposed to expect? thats, right NOTHING...... last game i played on my ps3 was killzone or killfail or something like that and it looked like i was playing it on a n64!!! hahahah isnt that funny? i thought it was teh SADDEST thing ever hahahahaahahh

but look at those great 360 exclusives, heavy rain, splinter cell ,alan wake, last guardian... alll REALLY GRAPHICS games that could NEVER be done on ps3 hahahahaha

360....... its better than ps3 and pc graphics wise

its true you know hahah

[droid and bot]

ummm
uhhh

what ?

[The real killer]

You meaning downgraded PC, yea that's it the 360 is nothing more than a downgraded PC.

Where is Killzone 2 or Uncharted 2, they have the best games left out the list with the best graphics and visual.

[ZombieAutopsy]

i cant tell if 360roxorz is being sarcastic or just being a huge troll, or both.

[Saaking]

haha, just make a list of PS3 exclusives.

[NecrumSlavery]

Of course it's PC Crysis 2.

I really can't wait to see the CryEngine3 on Consoles. I hope they utilize it with the PS3s CellTech.

[GaMa85]

HAHA!

[knightdarkbox]

mark your calenders ps3fanboys February 23.

When the most legendary stealth series makes its triumph return and shows the mgs crap how a true masterpiece looks like that has plenty off gameplay and no 9 hour cutscenes like mgs4...

only on 360 can enjoy awesome exclusives not on ps3crap ;)

[Saaking]

Only on 360? LMAO, me and many others will be playing the SUPERIOR PC version.

[The real killer]

And soon go's this (TIMED EXCLUSIVE) to the PS3.

[chrisulloa]

Jesus, shut up. You have a 360 and you're going to buy that version.

[CernaML]

Jesus owns a 360? Dang, I should go get one and play with him.

[ReviewsArePolitics]

360 has exclusives? News to me, LOL

[finbars75]

Im not a big xbox fan so dont get me wrong but I think that mass effect2 looks good.Not my type of game but graphically pretty stunning.But Its not even close to me but The Last Guardian looks absolutley phenomonial.Killzone2 was the last game that blew me away.GOW3,Heavy Rain will be fantastic as well but for the other games I cant say there next gen graphics.I would say Crysis2 is the winner overall but I havnt seen a thing on it and will they be able to use there engine on a console since nobody in the world could run crysis at %100 on the pc.But... the question is?Will killzone3 be coming out next year like its planned and show us something new graphically.For now The last guardian wins hands down but there is one game not on here that will stand up to the rest of the games.Bad company2.How could you forget.Have you seen the new clip of the multiplayer.Holysh!t and possibley Resistance3 which naughty dog,guerilla games and insomniac are working on. I will leave it at that.

[bnaked]

lol

[Dude420]

I'm sorry, but I think some of you are nuts. Average graphics? Please stfu haters. You're only saying that because it's not on the PS3. I don't think that Alan Wake will set the bar in graphics since Killzone 2 came out first. However, that game looks simply amazing, the lighting effects look superb and it supposedly has weather changing effects. Also, don't forget that this game is more open than your average linear game.

If I was comparing Alan Wake to Uncharted 2, I would say U2 wins slightly only because the character models and animations truly had my mouth dropped. However, I DO think Alan is very, very close considering what I've mentioned in the above paragraph. Besides, Alan Wake is not out yet, so there's still room for improvement before it comes out.

Point being, you haters just don't want to believe that the Xbox can in fact, push some stunning visuals. I can accept that the PS3 produces amazing looking games, but you can't for the 360? How pathetic.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...
You honestly think this isn't impressive looking?

On a side note, Mass Effect 2 is looking to be superb as well.

[bnaked]

it's looking very good, but not impressive.. imo..

[Anti-Fanboyer]

why the hell is it on the list. I don't care if they're rebuilding the engine but the author had a lot of other top graphic games to choose from that we've actually "SEEN" footage. Yet
That's literally like saying:
"I haven't seen a single footage but I have foreseen the future and it will blow me away graphically."

Can't I at least go through one article without finding bias opnions.

[immortal84]

How including MGS: Rising is a bias opinion?

[AliTheBrit19]

Good list

But take away lost planet 2

[mantasis]

NO GT5? WTF. I love it, but why is God of war on here...it's gonna be epic, and I'm sure in the future it'll have a place on this list, but from what we've seen the game doesn't look mindblowing, as it should be.

[spektical]

hey , a better question would be, which of the following games has the best chance of having better visual graphics than uncharted 2. :D HAHA
and it would be GT5, Heavy Rain, Last Guardian or Crysis 2. Note 3 ps3 games and 1 PC game.

[CobraKai]

Am I the only one that thinks Splinter Cell doesn't look all that?

[The real killer]

Jezus is in heaven, waiting for us. :)

[ReviewsArePolitics]

Hay-soos, lulz

[seifer085]

would be my pick but isn't on the list! MGS Rising? I bet it's good but better then the 50 gb MGS 4 I sincerely doubt that

[The real killer]

Yes, bubble for you :)

[ryano23277]

Thanks for this article, I was really having a hard time in knowing what games are going to look good in the next few months.

11 of those games have been talked, written, argued about for the last few months. WE ALREADY KNOWS THESE ARE GOING TO LOOK GOOD.

How about reporting some stuff we don't know.

After these 11, I can name another 11 that will look good too.

Agent, Halo Reach, inFamous 2, Gears 3, Killzone 3, GTA 5, Fable 3, Madden 11, FIFA 11, Batman sequel, Crackdown 2.

[ambientFLIER]

"While we haven’t seen any footage for this game, Kojima Productions assistant producer Sean Eyestone, has said that the team is remaking Rising’s engine “from scratch” to make it look better than MGS4. Look better than MGS 4? bring it on."

A lot of people are going to look like idiots if this really happens...

[ambientFLIER]

Because if it does look better than MGS4, and runs equally well on the xbox, it will shut up all the people that said that the 360 couldn't run MGS4.

[ZombieAutopsy]

you really think that would shut people up...come on a fanboy is a fanboy and once one peice of ammo is out they go find another.

Example- "We didnt say it couldnt handle MGS4, we just said it would take 8 dvd discs to do it." or something like that.

[ambientFLIER]

They will probably just say "MGS4 wasn't that good looking anyway!"

[Kiroe]

Crysis 2 and FFXIII for me. However I am looking forward to Alan Wake's visuals as well as God of War 3. 2010 is going to be a great year for games!

[DiffusionE]

I would say Crysis 2, but seeing as it has gone multiplat, it's console versions are not gonna look as good as Crysis 1 did on PC. The only way for Crysis 2 to surpass the first one is if it was a PC exclusive again.

So, I'm gonna go with The Last Guardian on this one.

[Pandamobile]

Crytek said they're not dumbing down the PC version to cope with the consoles.

Crysis 2 on PC will look significantly better than Crysis did. On consoles, Crysis 2 should look like Crysis on medium-ish settings.

[nolifeking]

The only ones that would look stupid are the people who celebrate a console catching up to last year. Plus the game would have to have everything MGS4 had plus more, which it won't.

[nolifeking]

Plus, the argument was always disc size, I know I can't be the only one that remembers the giant 360 MGS4 disc sleeve pics.

[itsralf]

lol

All those people saying that God of War III doesn't look that impressive, will eat their words. I can only name 3 games that look better than God of War III at this stage of its development. Killzone 2, Uncharted 2, and Heavy Rain.

Final Fantasy XIII - I advice everyone to download the latest trailer off PSN. It looks fantastic. I would be very surprised if they can pull that off on the 360.

God of War III - Again download the trailers off PSN and pause that take a good look.

Crysis 2 - Will definitely be a contender. But need to wait for a complete game with AI implemented the know for sure on consoles.

Alan Wake - Honestly doesn't look impressive. I was totally disappointed with the graphics when they finally revealed gameplay. I was expecting more graphically.

Heavy Rain - This game has the most impressive graphics that I have ever seen. Definitely the best character models ever on any platform...and yes PC included...Lol.

Assassin's Creed 2 - Looks great but its not going to stand up to the heavy hitters (U2, God of war III, Heavy rain)

Lost Planet 2 - Great looking game but not as good as U2, God of War III, Heavy Rain

Mass Effect 2 - Looks really good. Probably the best looking game on the 360. However, still not up to the bar the PS3 set with Killzone 2, Uncharted 2, God of War III, and Heavy Rain.

Splinter Cell Conviction - Looks good but not as good as AC 2 or Mass Effect 2. So definitely not up to PS3 exclusive standards. However, gameplay will be a 10/10 by the looks of it. Looking forward for the timed exclusive to come to the PS3

The Last Guardian - My favorite games last gen were God of War series, shadow of the colosus, and ratchet & clank series. I don't think I have seen better lighting in any other game except GT5. BTW why the fvck is GT5 not on this list?

Top 10 Best Console graphics this generation so far in order.

1. Heavy Rain
2. Uncharted 2
3. Killzone 2
4. God of War III
5. GT5
6. The Last Guardian
7. Uncharted
8. MGS4
9. Final Fantasy XIII
10. Mass Effect 2

[jhooty14]

Why no GT?

[CaitSith]

1. Final Fantasy XIII
2. The Last Guardian
3. Heavy Rain

My personal taste. =]

[aGameDeveloper]

Every time id Software creates a brand new engine technology, it blows away the competition (at least until the other developers copy its innovations). I'd have thought Rage would be on this list at least for that reason (besides the fact that the in-engine videos look amazing thus far).

[Gun_Senshi]

Crysis 2 on Consoles is proven to be CryEngine 2 on Meduim Settings on PC

[AngryTypingGuy]

I clicked on the link, which said "11 upcoming games that will blow you...". I was thinking, wow, the technology these days in incredible.

[xLordOblivionx]

LMAO!

Bubbles for you, sir.

[Sackdude]

Alan Wake and Splinter Cell: Conviction are no were near as good looking as the games that are released this year and last year.

where is GT5?

GT5 has the most impressive and realistic graphics ever.

[theone26]

God of war 3, The Last Guardian and Heavy Rain are all mind blowing worthy especially GOW3's epicness. Crysis 2 on consoles remained to be seen, the rest are all good looking but just not up there with the big boys.

[tudors]

If people cannot see the class of Mass effect 2 and Alan Wake they are just bias, as good as I think uncharted 2 looks IMO Alan Wake looks just as good, roll on the disagrees but hey that's life.

[tudors]

totally agree with you, bubbles up, at least someone else is not blinded by bias, clearly Alan Wake belongs on that list, infact they all do, and yes GT5 should be on there but if you use your brains clearly they have chose a certain game type, some of you think it is a conspiracy obviously.

[Arnon]

Alan Wake looks great, and it's a marvel at how nice the graphics look coming from a company comprised of about 30 members. Going by the amazing story and gameplay of Max Payne, I'm sure it's going to be a hit.

[AnttiApina]

The reason why Alan Wake isn't as good looking as other games, is because it is build around open world technology (while the game may not be a sandbox anymore, the tech is still there). That is why games such as Heavy Rain or God Of War 3, which put the resources and processing power to the graphics.
But it is really good looking game for a team that only has 30 to 40 members.

I think that this could be a suprise hit of the next year.

Every game in this list looks fantastic! They should have included GT 5

[Dude420]

Thanks man, bubbles back. I just can't believe some people aren't giving Alan Wake the credit for being up there with the PS3's best. Just because Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 wowed us first, doesn't mean other games don't get the chance to look stunning as well, even if those 2 games look slightly better.

If you guys read AnttiApina's post, you'll see why this game doesn't LOOK as good as Uncharted 2.

I don't know about some you guys, but I like to be impressed by different kinds of games, I don't limit myself to 2 games until their sequels come out.

[OpiZA]

The Last Guardian looks great!

[Mr BlueScreen]

But all of the games listed are pretty impressive looking. Can't wait to play Heavy Rain, God of War 3, and Crysis 2. All though all are going to be amazing.

[XxCYONIDExX]

Rage looks like it's going to be one of the best looking and shooter games.

[jwinkelman8]

I saw "11 upcoming games that will blow you..." and I was instantly hooked! Darn false advertising.

[ForROME]

Personally , Drakes Fortune didnt blow me away, I thought it was cinema quality in style and graphics were great but much to linear of a game for me.

[TABSF]

Crysis 2 PC = 8th Gen.

Crysis is almost next gen ready so Crysis 2 PC will deffo be king until Crysis 3.

[Relientk77]

why is Gran Turismo 5 not on the list?

[ColossiSlayer]

Last Guardian... It'll be the best looking game on PS3 til its predecessor arrives...
