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!
