Loved Quake 2! Remember firing that baby up in Glide with my shinny new Voodoo1 card from Diamond

thabub said:Original Unreal was breathtaking. The only thing with the same wow factor now IMO is Farcry and Oblivion.

PKFGimpy said:I don't understand why there's so much negativity to the Doom III engine.
I was playing through Prey a while back and when I got the game loaded up on my old CRT (rather than my Dell 24" LCD) the game looked AMAZING. I'd have to give Prey my vote for the best graphics I've ever seen in a game (although the gameplay itself was only meh).
While the Half Life 2 engine is quite spectacular (especially for outdoor brightly lit environments), I think the Doom III engine nails the dark interiors incredibly so incredibly well that I have to give it my vote The key to getting the most out of the engine is to play it in a dark room on a CRT... it looks fugly on an LCD IMO.

Far Cry definitely deserves some props. I am actually replaying D3 right now and the acrimony heaped on it is unwarranted. Still the reason why HL2 kicks its ass visually has nothing to do with the engines but that D3 art direction falls on its face with its human textures and models that tend to look cartoonish compared to HL2 which nails a gritty, realistic feel. Also the superior facial animation don't hurt either. So far HL2 and the following episodes are the high bar. Q4 is still planful to look at as D3 looks better than it did and Prey was cool but didn't really take anything to a the next level.
Honestly I don't see another game knocking HL2 off the top rung till Crysis comes out.
Still looks like plastic to me. Honestly crysis (while it looks stunning) does not interest me as there is little that lends itself as art (at least that I have seen). All I have seen of crysis is lush jungles, people, and cars. Nothing new or interesting to look at just more "Ya that tree looks a lot better this time round and those clouds are pretty cool".zamardii said:Um... people... are we all forgetting about Unreal Engine 3?
Magester said:Today I was playing Oblivion on maxed settings aweing at the graphics of this game and came to think what do you think is the best looking game made to date? I dont own a xbox 360 and have been out of the console/PC loop lately mainly due to my unhealthy WoW addiction, and from what I have seen PS3 has some great things in store for gamers. What are your thoughts?

HL2 was a shocker from the instant you saw an alien vehical (I think the strider was the first). That mixed with the setting of an eastern european landscape made for a very nice visual integration.
If games are going to keep pushing the graphical envelope I want to care what I about what I am looking at.
Frosteh said:It's not about whats new and interesting, it's about what looks good.
Whether or not you care about what you're looking at is more to do with the plot, the story and the character development.
Combined I think the overall goal is immersion and that needs a good balance, but when judging purely graphics I think that needs to be done on purely its own merits, in this respect Crysis looks awesome!
LOL, I feel the same way about LOR as I do the travesty of the last 3 Star Wars films. Only that LOR had Ian, the only bright point in those dull films.
Frosteh said:The fact that even when in easy mode your enemies STILL take half a clip to kill was my main gripe with FarCry
ManCannon said:Um, if you aimed at their chest yeah, most of them were wearing body armor you know. If you aimed at their head they went down to pretty quick.
Actually yes I did but I still don't think it will unset the Crytek team. It will be a step up from the D3/Q4 style game and UT2007 will be a feast for the eyes but Crysis simply takes it to a whole another level.zamardii said:Um... people... are we all forgetting about Unreal Engine 3?
I want the crack you are smoking! Yes the plot sucked pig balls, nor argument but Far Cry was the best shooter of 2004 hands down. While D3 and HL2 both looked good and HL2 took the story and art direction to a new level both games were easy even on hard. HL2 could be beat with a water bird clicking the mouse button.Frosteh said:I'd have to agree there, visually very stunning, the gameplay/plot for me was pretty poor.
