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

the last of us
god of war ascension
beyond two souls

Roccetarius4147d ago (Edited 4147d ago )

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

ABizzel14147d 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...

Jazz41084148d ago (Edited 4148d ago )

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

Freak of Nature4148d 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....

charted4148d 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

The Last of Us Looks fantastic for current gen !

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.

Fallout 4's 'next gen' update is over 14 gigs, breaks modded saves, & doesn't change much at all

We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.

isarai7h ago

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

just_looken7h ago

This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.

On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.

Skyrim dec 2023
https://www.pcgamer.com/sky...

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken

Valkyrye5h ago

Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.

just_looken3h ago

There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods

There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.

On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.

Inverno2h ago

lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.

porkChop46m ago

The disagrees are from people who have common sense. They aren't trying to kill mods. Most mods for any game will break with a new update because they rely on files/code that have been changed. This isn't new. Even with Bethesda this would happen way before the creation club. Mod support is literally one of the things that got Bethesda to where they are, and they're one of the only devs that releases comprehensive mod tools for each of their games.

Chocoburger1h ago

Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.

Par for Bethesda.

Aussiesummer34m ago

It's not a remaster, it's a next gen update.

badz14911m ago

LOL people are actually expecting massive improvements or something? From Bethesda?? the same people who released Skyrim multiple times and the all look like shit? THAT Bethesda? are people for real?

Hopefully Microsoft will go back to the original story line and get away from that woke nonsense from the last Gears game Gears of Woke! But were talking about Microsoft so all the betting money is on more of the same woke nonsense.
