In your opinion, what pc game has the best graphics (other than the obvious winner)? I'm talking max settings on an ideal machine.

On a technical level....none.

Aesthetically...there's a few depending on your personal preferences.



Arma II is way up there.

I think MW: 2 on pc looks great. Haven't played a console version yet. The rio level was simply breathtaking IMHO. Very gritty and very realistic looking (the environment not the gameplay LOL). I've heard Uncharted 2 looks fantastic by the way. Need to pick it up soon the original is one of my favorites.

+1 for MW:2 :) I really do like it :P And the graphics really are amazing! :P

Probably none (are we discounting Crysis Warhead here?) but I like the graphics on COD4:MW, and Bioshock has something about it that I really like.

The Conduit!? You think The Conduit has some of the best graphics of any game that's currently available? I have PS2 and Gamecube games that are nearly a decade old that look better than The Conduit. A few examples off the top of my head: Rogue Squadron II (Gamecube launch title), Resident Evil 4, and FFX. It's not even one of the best looking games on the Wii IMO. I'm not lashing out at you directly, because you're far from the first person I've heard this from; I just needed to rant for a minute.

I think The Conduit's graphics are more on par with Red Faction II (PS2, 2002):

That being said, I'd say the nicest looking non-Crysis game I have in my collection is probably Far Cry 2.

Have you seen the videos for crytek's new engine (3) running simultaneously on pc/ps3/xbox? The videos show them editing a level with updates happening in real time on the 3 platforms. It looks fantastic on xbox and ps3 aswell as pc. Unbelievable rain effects on ground, and wicked medieval castle level. Will be interesting to see how the final build runs though on the consoles.
