Games with "WOW!" Graphics

Kosmiche · 14 Jun 2010 at 13:07

I'm looking for games with amazing graphics such as crysis warhead, I already own this game Im wondering if there are other games to show off my system?

I've also got oblivion but thats showing its age now, but it was beautiful at the time, so some new games with WOW! graphics would be nice.

Thanks :cool:

World of Warcraft has WoW graphics.

Metro 2033 has some 'amazing' looking graphics....

Locke · 14 Jun 2010 at 13:10

Far Cry 2, Metro 2033, Dirt 2, Bad Company 2 for starters

bad company 2 isn't bad... Or have a look at shattered horizon. There arent any particularly wowing games atm because the consoles are all old

Thanks I think I will invest in this metro game

Metro 2033.
Battlefield Bad Company 2.
The Witcher Enhanced Edition.
Grand Theft Auto 4.
Dead Space.
Fallout 3.
Just Cause 2.
Assassin's Creed 1 and 2.

Although some of the games above aren't outstanding like Crysis was but they do have some very nice touches about them like Fallout 3 has some of the best scenery there is which looks amazing on a great pc.

oh yeah I totally forgot about just cause 2, am still on XP so I wont be able to play it will I?

Agree with Metro 2033, best graphics I've seen on a PC game so far. Also Just Cause 2 looks amazing.

Batman Arkham also has some fairly nice looking graphics. Good models and slightly higher textures then consoles I think..

Metro 2033 is way and above the best looking PC shooter for a while.

Originial crysis looks better

Cold Fusion · 14 Jun 2010 at 13:17

Yup Just Cause 2 is Vista/Windows 7 Only

To be honest if you have a high end system you really should get Windows 7 its a really good OS and it will utilise your system to its maximum

I think Mass effect 2 has some pretty nice graphics to it tbh.

No... And Metro 2033 uses DX11 which is windows 7, although Metro 2033 can be knocked down to DX9, in DX11 mode Metro 2033 looks a tad better, lighting is better and more crisp. Well IMO.

You know, Win XP looks dated compared to Win 7... You could upgrade to Win 7 for some more 'wow' factor..!! lol

Still can't get over how awesome Just Cause 2 looks, especially the water effects!

Dirt 2 has amazing graphics.

If you're looking for wow-factor graphics, you're severely limiting yourself by using a nine year old OS. DX10 effects are particularly noticeable in Crysis/Warhead.

Other "wow" graphics games, at points, are:

Dead Space
Mirror's Edge
Lost Planet (DX10)
Far Cry 2 (DX10)
Shattered Horizon (DX10)
Bioshock (DX10)
BFBC2 (DX11)
Assassin's Creed (DX10)

Crysis 1, Metro 2033, Oblivion with mods, GTA4, Shattered Horizon, BFBC2
