What game had the BEST graphics of 2008?

[LoopyDood]

Crysis WARHEAD no contest

Spoiler: Warhead 1

Spoiler: Warhead2

If it wasn't for all the bloom and incredible contrast someone could have fooled me into thinking the first one (And maybe the second, if they removed the closeup of the grass.) was a real photograph.

If those leaves in the bottom left were not there I would believe it to be a real photo if I didn't know otherwise

My computer isn't even that good for gaming (it's more specialized for GPGPU rendering and audio production). You'd be better off building your own

I have no idea what GPGPU rendering is but I totally want a PC that can do that now.

"my PC is optimized for GPGPU rendering"
I totally need to say that with convinction in a pub, before I die I swear to GOD i'm gonna do it.

The NVIDIA CUDA interface gives GPGPU capacity to all GeForce 8000, 9000 and GT200 cards. "GPGPU" refers to "general-purpose computing on graphics processing units", and uses the power of a graphics card to perform parallel processing and floating-point applications much faster than a CPU.

Oh right, well that clears up that then, so I get to say it in a pub right?

Crysis: Warhead, despite being the average and generic FPS, it does have the best graphics, you can't deny that.

I thought that LBP had some of the best graphics around. I mean, create a piece of chicken in there and it is 100% photo-realistic, not to mention finger-lickin' good.

Mirror's Edge while in-game. Beautiful.

Prince of Persia is one of the most beautiful games I've ever played. Doesn't make it any good though.

Gang Garrison II.

Yet console fans still like to talk about their graphical superiority.

They do?

And yeah, Crysis takes the cake for best graphics. I wish I had a computer capable of running it so I could gaze at it's glory.

Yup, they are usually pretty ignorant about their respective system's capabilities.

MGS4, LBP, Far Cry 2, or Crysis

I really liked the graphics in The Force Unleashed. Game looked beautiful. Fallout 3 suffered from Bethesda's stiff as a board character models (not that I didn't spend my requisite 30 hours playing the game). Fable 2 was meh I thought and GTA IV was par. Crysis, of course, is prolly the best if you have the top secret government supercomputer that can run it.

If you can get past the fact that a lot of GTA4 is all the taken from the same colour palette, the attention to detail is amazing. Haven't played MGS4 but from what i've seen in videos it looks pretty fantastic. As for Crysis, if you're prepared to put your computer through that kind of punishment you definately won't leave unsatisfied
