Noobs.

It certainly has very nice looking faces, from what I've seen of it. And the totally "uninvolved"-kinda gameplay style allows it to maintain a visual fidelity level much closer to those of movies (see Wall-E creator's explanation on why games can't equal movies in poly count due to real-time rendering). So those claims could easily be true, from a technical standpoint.

why would you say noobs? Best graphics I'm guessing they mean as in focus on the characters...not how realistic sports sims can look from really far away while you're watching them play,Fight Night Round 3 was probably the only other game that I can think comes close to having that kind of focus on specifically the human characters and pulling it off well. If you have any other suggestions please list them...but until factually proven wrong, they could be right, if not its just their opinion, and your answer would also be nothing more than an opinion.

This sort of hyperbole is ridiculous and Gamepro should feel ashamed.

These are from my comp running on xp/dx9 without any  AA or AF at a resolution of 1280X1024 a mix of high and very high. Not maxed. Inside a massive sandbox with countless destructible s (including all those tree's you see behind him, which can be shot down). From a technical standpoint, Crysis.

Even though I am really hyped for Heavy Rain...Anything GamePro says = Garbage.

"Kush claims that GamePro is worst magazine ever. Ever, ever."

^^^ That Kush is a smart cracker I must say!

The Heavy Rain pictures still look better, and have a much greater focus on personal and story aspects that allow it to excel in one area graphically. I've played Crysis, on high, and it just looks stupid. It may render some faces well, but killing the same Korean over and over again makes you laugh at the attempt they made at detail. Heavy Rain is all about characters and emotional response. It's obviously going to have better looking people and environments, even if they aren't as large. Being able to render tons of things at once doesn't equal greatness, as Crysis has proven.

That specific remark I'd say isn't true at all, but they are just describing the faces mainly, I think its one of the best looking games to focus on humans specifically..but yeah in terms of every little thing in a game, visuals on buildings, vehicles, people and terrain/surroundings in a game to date, I'd still say Crysis stands up to that, maybe Farcry 2 on PC could stand up to it, though frm what I've seen.

No, I am not. I'd say you're the one in denial, but it's not even clear you understand the concept that Heavy Rain is trying to get across.

Who's jumping from subject to subject my fellow? Sandbox doesn't equal greatness, art direction, characterization "you understand the concept", "killing the same Korean "  Pu-leaze.

Limp.

That was pretty incoherent. Want to try and make an honest thought of it, dropping the pointless ad hominem?

Oh well. I was giving you a chance not to be a total troll. The icon gave it away, but I like to give the benefit of the doubt.

I havent personally seen the game in real life so I will trust them and it looks pretty good. Even though I dont own a PS3. It looks like indigo prophecy with awesome graphics.

The game might have contention for that title if we are speaking about console games, but games in general, certainly no way. Crysis looks absolutely phenomenal, obviously, and it is almost a year old. Crysis Warhead steps that up (in a way, I think of it as Crysis 1.5, graphically speaking), and putting Heavy Rain into the category of "best graphics ever", is absloutely insane. Then again, "best graphics ever", can also be from an art standpoint. Then again, Heavy Rain isn't exactly a work of art.

It looks like a very good game, but I find it extremely hard to believe they would categorize it into "best graphics ever", I hope that forgot to add the console bit, even though I don't think it will be the best looking console game when it is released. Everyone has their own opinion, though.

Not really, you are arguing everything but the point., it's pretty lame. This website has an option to pay as well, they are not specifically saying console. Fanboy or noob.

Here's some jungle screenshots taken for you to enjoy while you ponder that choice.

And here's Heavy Fail picture as well so you can gush at the art direction and characterization and lack of Korans being killed.

Ad Hominem, you say?  I believe that's the first time I've ever seen a logical fallacy mentioned in a games forum.

The faces and facial animations are incredible, but the outdoor environments need some work before I'd consider this game for the Best Graphics title. I've seen a video of it in 1080p, and it didn't look so good before she entered the house.
