Resident Evil 4...

Ok, download the movies. The game is the best looking at E3 IMO. There's quite a bit of tension in this clip.

Simply breathtaking. I love how the colour varies to blue at times (from sepia?).

it looks phenominal...but best in show? (graphics) I'd give that to Doom III, MGS3, Halo 2 or Gran Turismo 4...this would be in the top 5 though (for console titles)

looks very very nice. not best in show tho as stu said. Doom3 for PC, then Doom3 Xbox. then IMO GT4

then id say this one.

as far as consoles its very very close to being the prettiest

It could surely get best graphics. Though if the people voting are looking for more on screen, I think Rebel Strike could take the cake. Though Half-life 2 looks excelent (maybe better than RS3, RE4, Halo 2, GT4, etc...)

Looks like fun.

Doom III is overhyped in the graphics department.. the more I see of this game, the more I tend to believe that. (haven't donloaded any new movies yet, but recent official pics aren't anything near as impressive as the initial pics, where they claimed in-game models. It's pretty clear that they were showing the super-detailed characters which the actual in-game models will later be scaled from.)

Take some blocky as$ models(yeah you heard me, don't make me post pics up in this b!tch), low-poly environments, slap some neat textures, and a mean lighting/shadowing engine(the *only* impressive feature, IMO) and you've got your Doom 3... well, as far as aesthetics go.

Halo 2 is more impressive. Although, I could say the same very thing about this game, because their game engine bares many similarities to id's game(in terms of visualization techniques), but I have more faith in Bungie's art direction.

RE4 is just.. :eek:

You'd going to hear lot's of arguments about which is more visually appealing/impressive. Already I can see the same issues that created the Metroid/Halo feud. Halo 2 will look good, (just as Halo did), but don't expect to be walking down hallways/corridors LITTERED with detail. You won't be able to say the same this about RE4(just as in Metroid prime) and that's what'll set RE4 apart from Halo 2, despite the fact that they both look amazing.

Metal Gear 3 is gorgeous as well, but now RE4 gorgeous. Come on now!

Rogue Leader 3 is so weird because it's hard to compare to anything by nature of it's genre. However, Look at the forest scene in this game, and those in Metal Gear 3(Stalker, Fable, BC, or any other console game for that matter), and tell me which looks the most jaw dropping.

I think Halo 2 might win the official award for best graphics. It does look good, so I can't complain if that turns out to be the case. But I'd personally vote for RE4.

If Doom 3 wins...ughh!

Im I the only one that didnt get any sound in that RE4 clip? It looked amazing, probably the best thing ive seen so far(although Half-Life 2 strikes me as amazing looking also)

Of course NGC games come out on top for you... You wouldn't be D-realJos if that wasn't the case

I personally havn't seen enough of stuff from E3 to judge... But I thought the few screenshots of MGS3 looked amazing... And those were just screenshots...

As for RE4... the graphics are nice, but the screenshots I've seen PRIOR to E3 (I havn't seen any from E3) had very bland enviornments, IMO... They were like cold, lonely looking stone hallways... then like... a cold, lonely looking stone room with arches... and fences and stuff... o.O I hope the enviornments have a bit more variety than that... I need to check out the E3 video though...

Shadow_Link · 05-15-2003, 09:46 AM

Nah, have to disagree. RE4 is the best looking game at the show IMO, Doom3, Half Life 2, RS3 and Halo2 come close, but GT4 comes closer than those four. As for the technical side of things, mixed with the some of the best graphics, RS3 takes that crown at the moment.

GameKinG · 05-15-2003, 09:50 AM

Well it is a cold, lonely, stone place...

I dont expect to find some big fiesta in the living room.

Perfect Stu · 05-15-2003, 11:26 AM

D-real picking a Gamecube game? Amazing! :eek:

The people who said that Silent Hill 3 looks great but only has a small surrounding evironment so the developers can put a lot of work into what's on screen are the same people who are saying RE4 is the most impressive game visually. Maybe it's just me, but I didn't see any huge, expansive environments in RE4.

Seeing as though GT4 comes as close to photo-realistic as anything I've ever seen, or how S.T.A.L.K.E.R shows the most detailed textures I've ever seen, or maybe the crazy lighting effects that Doom III boasted...I'd have to give it to one of them. Oh, and the fact that the Halo 2 demo was almost all gameplay footage impressed the hell out of me. MGS3 also had the most impressive water effects, and some truly AMAZING animations. The GC games on this level would be RE4 and possibly Rebel Strike. But there's no way I can call them superior.

Yeah but I'm saying would they be able to get RE1-like enviornments (as in a big variety of textures for walls and crap, little tables and stuff here and there with stuff on them, desks with papers and crap scattered around them, etc etc) and still have character models that good? I guess maybe, but all I'm saying is that, yes that's the enviornment they've picked for the game, but it just doesn't seem to show off very much graphical power... but I dunno, maybe when you get down to all the technical details it does... *shrugs*
