imo there should be alan wake instead of kane and lynch, otherwise i would agree with nominees, not with the final order list

Feckles4885d ago

Alan Wake – just for the opening when you're on the ferry. Gorgeous.

Acquiescence4885d ago

Alan Wake looked pretty weak during the daytime sections. They exposed a lot of its graphical shortcomings.

At night however, Alan Wake often looked the business.

The game that is. Not the man.

HolyOrangeCows4885d ago

Kane and Lynch definitely should NOOOOOT be on the list, but I wouldn't replace it with Alan Wake.

I_find_it_funny4885d ago (Edited 4885d ago )

08 MGS4
09 U2
10 GOW3

edit

11 U3

Traveler4885d ago

The game that automatically pops into my mind in terms of graphical splendor in 2010 is God of War 3. It's such an amazing-looking game.

I also agree that Alan Wake deserves a spot on the list. It was the best looking game I played on my 360 this year.

InactiveUser4884d ago

Why does Super Meat Boy [Xbox 360] have a picture of God of War III?

Why is Red Dead Redemption's picture in Final Fantasy XIII?

Why is Enslaved's picture in Limbo?

Active Reload4884d ago (Edited 4884d ago )

Holyorangecows, your opinion became suspect when you said AW shouldn't replace Kane and Lynch. Probably any game could replace Kane and Lynch in graphics, lol. Makes me wonder if you played either one.

Edit: And Mero 2033 should be on this list, replacing something.

InTheKnow4884d ago

I agree with the general feeling here, regardless of the phantom disagrees.

AW had some incredible graphics and set pieces...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

I also thought Metro 2033 had some great moments...yep, it looked that good and was great for a good scare...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Splinter Cell Conviction also looked great for what it was...the best take downs...Krav Maga never looked so good...all footage from free demo...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Slo-mo take downs...look at the incredible detailed take downs...the best anywhere!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Halo Reach look incredible as well...seems like yesterday...wait a minute, it was...lol. Just look at how big this section is, all the AI in the air and on the ground...remember, this is 4 player co-op...Bungie really outdid themselves...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Black-ops on line ( on 360 anyway ) really looked great and plays great as well...almost 14 million views for this sneak peak...WoW!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Since I'm a huge fan of Gears...I have to include the multi-player sneak peak of Gears 3...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

fullmetal2974884d ago

@I_find_it_funny
They including 1010 games and MGS4 & U2 are 09'

nickjkl4884d ago

i dot get it this article is weird its like

gow section

"If you ever wondered if the PS3 would ever better the sumptuous visuals of Uncharted 2, then five minutes into God Of War III' would have answered that question with a resounding 'yes'"

uncharted 2 voted best graphics on consoles

then you go ahead and put red dead redemption final fantasy 13 and mass effect ahead of it

Kleptic4884d ago (Edited 4884d ago )

^^ a 'journalist' contradicting himself on a top 10 list?...get used to it dude...

I totally agree though...God of War III will easily walk away with the visual title for 2010 overall...there is no real debate with that...When you take in overall fidelity and polish, its unmatched...just as uncharted 2 was last year...

I agree though that AW should be on the list...all the sub HD stuff aside, the game still had great lighting and excellent art direction...its not a top contender or anything, but easily surpassed some other titles on the list...

and i'm sorry, but ME2 as number 1? no...its easily the best looking UE3 game...but thats it...the same lame bloom and lighting artifacts that have plagued every UE3 game are still present...and while the engine has come a long way, its dated sprite-like effects are noticeable...its definitely a goty nominee, and deserves a spot on this list...but not above some other titles visually...the fact that the writer shoots his own foot in the descriptions easily illustrates that...

1. God of War
2. GT5
3. Heavy Rain
4. Mass Effect 2
5. RDR

I'm going to stop there.

CobraKai4885d ago

@coffin87
It says for 2010. Uncharted 2 was 09.

@ TheBossMan
I prefer your list over the author's

samuraiX4885d ago

Mass Effect 2 best graphics?

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOOLOO LOLLLOLL

poopoojames4885d ago

I'd say it is if you played it on PC. Puts God of War to shame.

Traveler4885d ago

Even on the 360 it is a pretty nice looking game. Only the aliasing held it back a little bit.

justinb14885d ago

thanks for the laugh poopoojames

ThanatosDMC4885d ago

On PC, it looks really good.

drosera14884d ago

I am tired of PC guys saying Mass Effect 2 was SO much better on PC. No it wasn't, go Google Digital Foundry's analysis between PC and Xbox 360, they found that they are remarkably similar.

JCDenton4884d ago

You go "LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL...&quo t; on this?

samuraiX4884d ago

@JCDenton

Mass effect 2 character looks awesome, but the environment texture are not that good and it has Terrible texture LOD scaling

InTheKnow, I get a feeling you love shooters and love the xbox 360

Biggest4884d ago

InTheKnow is the resurrected cez_of_rage. I firmly believe that he is a PR guy for Microsoft. Each of his posts are in the same "Look at our awesome offerings" format with all of the same points being made. It's kinda boring now.

theonlylolking4885d ago

Yup, why the crap is RDR on that list and lynch?

Shaman4885d ago

WTF???Why is RDR on the list?You are joking right?I mean,GOW III deserves top spot but right behind it there should be RDR,its marvel.

theonlylolking4885d ago

RDR looks horrible. Sure the lighting looks great but everything else looks bad.

Traveler4885d ago

RDR on the 360 did look great. I didnt play the PS3 version so I don't know how that looked, but the 360 version definitely had some impressive visuals.

kancerkid4885d ago

If you ware saying RDR looks bad, you need some HDMI cables and a hiDef Tv,

Koolno4885d ago

it look pretty much the same on both platform, but xbox player don't have the same standard..

what is beautifull for them, it's meh for uncharted, killzone, etc player, logic.

Urmomlol4885d ago

Awful list. Kane and Lynch 2? Seriously?

Terrible writing, terrible layout, terrible list.

Par for the course, Now Gamer. Try and see if you can come up with a list that's not absolute crap by the end of the year, eh? I'll be waiting but not holding my breath.

Feckles4885d ago

What's Urmomlol's list, then?

Urmomlol4885d ago

Certainly not Kane and Lynch 2 and RDR.

Now Gamer, you guys continue to prove you're an absolute joke of a gaming web site who are incapable of doing something as simple as finding the games with best graphics. I've seen small, no name blogs do a better job than you clowns.

Halochampian4885d ago

It's their opinion! Jesus people. I thought Alan Wake was breath taking in visuals. I can agree with all of them except for Kane and Lynch I really think Alan Wake deserves a spot.

But Im not gonna say they are clowns because they think differently. That's just outright Childish.

RDR was a beautiful game. At least what I played.

Montrealien4884d ago (Edited 4884d ago )

2 bubble troll on N4G calls out Nowgamer...

*giggle*

Feckles4885d ago (Edited 4885d ago )

Still waiting for your ten, Urmomlol.

It's easy to troll without having the courage of your convictions. Let's have your list and then we'll see what other N4Gers think of your opinion.

Red Dead is a gorgeous-looking game (especially on 360) in terms of size, detail and atmosphere and Kane & Lynch 2's visuals are something new and interesting in a next gen world of brown and grey graphics.

It's a terrible game, mind.

Pandamobile4885d ago

Lol, that is terrible.

They don't even have 2010's best looking game in the list...

justinb14885d ago

god of war 3 is on there :s

kaveti66164885d ago

Metro 2033 on PC with DX11.

Pandamobile4885d ago

But GOW3 was not the best looking game of the year.

justinb14885d ago (Edited 4885d ago )

That's where you're wrong, my friend :)

Think I can safely say it topped this (link)

iamgoatman4885d ago

Lol @ console gamers thinking GOW3 tops Metro 2033.

Pandamobile4884d ago

Lol, you think the screenshot you posted looks worse than this?

http://www.sonyinsider.com/...

My, my, you console people are a weird bunch.

jammydude4884d ago

that's not the final build herp derp. My, my, you PC fanboy nerds sure are a weird bunch

15 PS3 Games That Would Absolutely Shine as PS5 Remakes

kenpachi18d ago

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming17d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long17d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming17d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple10117d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor17d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing6917d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming17d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno17d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming17d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave23d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan23d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
