What game has the best graphics?

Metro comes close, but you have to take things into account, when you render a LOT of stuff in the distance, and loads of leafs/tree's, water then the quality of things closer up suffers somewhat. If you're doing mostly closed in corridoors, with a much lower number of textures, NPC's, tree's, etc, then you can increase the quality of the close up stuff.

Metro 2033 looks good largely because its closed in, and puts in a lot of effort to a very small number of items, it looks very good, but Crysis is better. The outside bits in Metro 2033, are very bland, either all snow, or at night, its too hide what it can't do.

I like the atmosphere in Metro more because, its just more interesting than endless rocks/tree's, but its not particularly unique or difficult to do "post apocolyptic tunnel world", nor "random island aliens decided to land on".
 
As above, it is hard to say which game has the best graphics as a lot of them have nothing much in common with their setting/scenery.

Metro may have fantastic tunnel graphics, but you don't go into very many tunnels in Crysis. Crysis looks gorgeous while running through palm fronds next to a beach. I bet not many palm trees and tranquil blue seas show up in Metro!

Dunno. Don't care much for graphics/prettyness really.

What I think. Funny how things change, I used to buy gfx cards and whole rigs just to get a good score in 3dMark!

Dunno about the best game graphically today but FarCry was pretty in its day. One of the few games that impressed me.

I never understood the hype around HL2 and the GTA series.
 
bring on Fallout New Vegas baby YEAH !


all sorts of pretty wrapped in little packages of awesome and hand delivered by mutants in red bags of guts n gore !!
 
Tbh i'd much rather they invested in AI than GFx, getting sick of pretty games that play like ps1 games.
 
I remember when BF2 was the shiz graphically. I really pray BF3 is just an updated version of BF2.

I fall somewhere between BC2/FC2 and Crysis. GRID looked pretty intense, but not PC.
 
Jeez we get it, Crysis and Metro look good. Now what else looks good?!

I was really impressed by GRID, my PC version looked better than my friends 360 version on his 50" 1080p BRAVIA. Granted I only have a 23" 720p HDTV but I still think there's noticeable difference.

Deadspace looked great and so did Batman AA.
 
Haha! Good point about the title mate. :D

What other driving games did you think had better graphics than GRID? I'm not being defensive but it would be nice to know.

The newest racing games I've played since GRID were NFS:UC and Dirt 2. I felt like Dirt 2 was a little too hazy for my liking but it was only the demo.

I kind of agree with GRID.. I was blown away when I first installed that on my PC.. DIRT 2 is also superb with Directx11... love it.

FPS games are always going to be top of the graphics tree, but I found game like Company of Heroes to be excellent graphically...

Crysis was good, but you need to use a Nasa built PC to stop it stuttering... I just hate that game... its complete rubbish (please dont get offended, its just my personal opinion). Half life 2 when it came out was the best game I had ever seen, I still enjoy playing that game now.. still quite stunning to run around that world. I also like the graphics on Quake 4..

I dunno what game has the best graphics at this moment, but by January I think John Carmacks RAGE will be numero Uno... this game looks unbelieveable..

Rage will pwn all!!!

Aion is definitely the best looking MMO around. Although I have never played Crysis so I don't know how Aion would compare to it, Although I think it would be right up there with the best of the best in terms of Graphics.
