Uncharted 2, MGS4, RE5 are some that stand out for me, graphically. Haven't played Heavy Rain yet though so not too versed with its overall graphics. Then theirs God of War 3 which looks to be one of the best lookers for the ps3 so far. Besides the obvious, such games as Condemned 2 I thought had some very detailed graphics too.
BC2 on PC is pretty awesome looking, can't say for the console versions, though. Crysis still deserves a mention. God of War 3 really took me by surprise.
I really love Torchlight's graphics as well. That's more personal taste, though.
@TwoOneFive: That pic of MGS4 is a terrible reprensation, it more reminds me of countless users that can't be bothered changing their default user avi =(

lol yeaaaaaahhhh im looking for good ones on this site but so many are shitty quality. i think gow3 looks above and beyond though, Kratos' is the best looking character model i've ever seen in that game. yeah, and im comparing to crysis too.
Mass Effect 2 (PC). Not only is it really good technically (though not the best, I guess), but the artistic parts bring it above and beyond other games, IMO.
If we're going purely technical, I still think Crysis holds up. I also remember being more impressed than I thought I would be with GOW2 on my friends 1080p TV.
Also I don't really get the praise for Heavy Rain. I did not find it attractive at all.. but that's just me. I also haven't seen Uncharted 2 yet so I can't comment there.
Obviously Crysis still reigns supreme in terms of pure graphical quality, but there has been some other great looking games. Uncharted 2, Gears of war 2, Crackdown, GTA4, Killzone 2, God of war 3, BFBC2. I really thought GTA4 was amazingly good for an open world game, which was so densly populated by buildings, cars and people. Crackdown was also pretty cool looking with its cartoony artstye, most recently Bad company2 has some stunning environmental backdrops.
" Personally, I only see Heavy Rain and Metro 2033 as next-gen graphics so far. "
I thought "Heavy Rain" was a bit unbalanced... good facial animations but crap body models. I'd have to say RE5 is the most balanced... maybe Uncharted 2 although it's quite cartoony... but it's slick! Killzone 2?..
Heavy Rain looks good, but has some pretty awful animations and textures at times.
Uncharted 2, Gears 2 (i still think the gears games look awesome), FF13 (and not just the cgi, although that is fucking amazing), Killzone 2 (although that uses the "this game is really dark to hide a lot of things" trick like Metro seems to do) and the Ratchet ps3 games are some of my stand outs. Oh and I personally think Street Fighter 4 looks amazing, and if you define next gen as something the last gen could not do, than it counts for me.
God Of War 3 seems to probably take the lead soon over Uncharted 2, but I wont judge it from videos until I play it
" Metal Gear Solid 4 is a joke. Don't even mention it - it does not belong in the same league as Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2 et al. "
no other game has nearly as complex stuff going on as mgs4, so considering all the ai, all of the different mechanics, al of the different weapons, audio, etc etc etc the whole game looks phenomenal.
I am still in shock over seeing Uncharted 2 and God of War 3, I will be honest, when the PS3 came out I thought it was a POS but Sony has truly shown that the system is capable of Amazing things, Truly the best looking games ever made. Crysis is a technical achievement but UC2 and GOW3 are much nicer looking when it comes to style.
" Crysis beats pretty much anything else out there. Not by much, but it still just edges it. "
However should we factor in that it takes a nice machine to run crysis?(I got to play it on my laptop and I admit it looks wonderful) However we should think about the games that are open to all gamers. Not ones with just PCS or what not.
Crysis. The title of the thread doesn't say anything about how many people can afford to run the game, it is about the game with the best graphics. Crysis is that game.

In that case it is probably:
PC:Crysis PS3:Uncharted 2 360:Forza 3 Wii:Mario Galaxy PS2:God of War 2
Are we talking "best graphics" as in "most technically proficient graphics (framerate, level of detail, anti-aliasing et cetera)", or are we talking "best graphics" as in "best-looking graphics(how good the end result looks, regardless of what the artistic and technical sides are like individually)".

And now my next question. Are we saying " Most realistic?" Or "Best looking?" I liked how Borderlands looked. And I think FF13 looks betifule. Crysis however by far has the most realistic. And with everything jammed up for the 30 mins before my laptop committed suicide it was amazing.
