Best game graphics-wise?

[ozadin]

I think the best graphics game by far at the moment is The Last of Us. Better character models, environmental structures such as the buildings, even the water looks great. Storyline is very amazing, as well as the characters. I hope to see a sequel, maybe some DLC's and hopefully they won't ruin it.

What do you think is the best graphics game?

I agree that The Last of Us is by far the best looking game on the PS3. I think it edges out Metal Gear Solid 4, Uncharted, Tomb Raider and the God of War games. I would also like to mention Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. Where graphics of The Last of Us made us stare in awe in its post apocalyptic beauty, Ni No Kuni made us just want to sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery in it's superb anime-style graphics.

The Last of Us hands down. Never have I seen a game with such realistic graphics. I shows it to some of my friends and they said they could believe it to be an animated movie.

Other than that, in terms of gorgeousness, Bioshock Infinite. Lots of work went into Columbia and I think it paid off. The world is just a sight to behold and beautiful beyond comprehension.

I personally find GTA V to have the best graphics. How it manages to render all the beautiful CGI with a 512 MB RAM is beyond me... Imagine the result if it would've been made for PS4!

Obviously all games on the same console will have very similar graphical capabilities due to the hardware restrictions , but I think that certain games really shine in the art design. In particular I felt like Dark Souls did a very good job at creating a rather dark world, that was also quite livid at the same time, the levels felt very varied and the colour palette was great.

I think The Last of Us certainl wins. I played it a friend's house and I really liked the graphics. I think it looks so good because it's an exclusive; exclusive games (for any console) can take full advantage of the hardware they're on since they don't have to ensure that the game works on various platforms.

I also think that Final Fantasy XIII looks amazing on PS3 and Metal Gear Solid 4 is definitely beautiful. These two are even better when you consider that they were released so long ago.

While it makes sense, The Last of Us is only that good is because of how they use colors and light, not just the power of the console. If you try to see how they do most of the things, you can see how clever they are, but it's not powerful. It's like a Disney ride, where you have one set path to go, but everything is pretty and beautiful.

The Last of Us had brilliant graphics. Top notch and outstanding quality all the way around.

Battlefield 3 id have to say, for the core reason of how realistic it is and the way you can just blow the building up then it just falls down like not many games have that kinda feature i have to say though the last of us was realistic.

That doesn't make sense. You can make the same point about any game - the point of graphics is using what is available to the best of your abilities in a way that means your aesthetics. I mean think of one game that doesn't make usage of colors and light.. seriously.

It's a weird subject to say 'best graphics' ... no one seems to agree on what this gray area means. Some people judge this based on aesthetics, art style, graphics engine power, pre-render usage, texture detail, or some combination of the above. Lots of games employ multiple tricks to get their visuals across, while many deliberately make use of less to accomplish more.

The Last of Us had "graphics" meant to be looked at from afar, so that's either lazy or resourceful, depending on the subject. It fails to impress me when I see the vines, foliage, and litter of the world are painted ON the buildings, floors, and walls, for example, though Joel and Ellie were done in detail as they were a visual focus. Now, it had great aesthetics for designing and detailing the look of ruined centerpieces of society, sure. I also note that most people comment on the cutscenes of the game, but those were pre-rendered scenes, and were not in-game graphics.

I agree that The Last of Us was groundbreaking in terms of graphics for the year that it was released. Red Dead Redemption also had fantastic graphics. I gave it a few go's after giving it to a friend as I was running low on time at that point in my life. The environment seemed incredibly realistic to me. It really reminded me of the Greenbelt landscape in Austin, Texas. Ah, nostalgia. The MLB The Show games had unbelievable aesthetics too. I felt like I was really at the ballpark when I played those games.

 

[lstryhrn]

I would say The Last of Us has to be at the top right now. It is amazing how they made everything look so real in that game. It was so real that I got caught in that up in the game. I thought I was really trying to save a little girl from dying. I read that the graphics were so good that it was freezing old ps3.

 

[Stigmatic Gamer]

The Last of us looks amazing. I am impressed that they could pull it off on a current generation console

 

[corporatenoun]

Agreed on The Last of Us. It makes Heavy Rain's facial expressions look cheesy and videogame-y. It's the pinnacle of human facial modeling thus far.

 

[crazyduck]

I have seen the Last of Us being played round my friends house and I must say the graphics are amazing. I think GTA V will have equally good graphics when it comes out. Also Gran Turismo 5 graphics was good on the cars.

 

[aussiedigitalnomad]

Yep The Last of Us is definitely the best. Honorable mention to Ni No Kuni for style.

 

[GetFresh]

This is going to be cliche, but i'm going to have to say The Last of Us. Majority of the people don't lie, it's definitely amazing graphics-wise. However, if I had to say another game, it would be Crysis 3. It's a great game not only with it graphics but as well as it's storyline.

 

[wowtgp]

I am not quite sure about it actually, but I think it has to be either The Last of Us or GTA V.

 

[James]

If its based on nothing but strictly graphics, itd probably be Crysis 3. Crysis has always been the game to test how much of a man your computer really is and i cant think of game that can beat Crysis graphics wise without community made texture mods that take a lot of work (for things like GTA IV, Skyrim, etc.
