Worst Graphics in a Current-Gen Game

[DustyDrB]

Marvel Ultimate Alliance had pretty bad graphics when it wasn't in a cutscene. The demo I played for Divinity 2 featured ugly and bland graphics.

Fucking Rogue Warrior!

Which game of this gaming generation would you say has the worst graphics for the system it's on? I only say that because, yes, we all know the Wii would dominate if that wasnt't the case. Oh, and another thing - for th purposes of this thread the 'current-gen' is Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DS and PSP (or maybe iPhone if you want).

My answer would be Dragon Age: Origins on the 360. It's a great game in itself, but wow, the graphics are poor. It seems just further proof that DA:O was pushed to the wayside in favor of Mass Effect 2. Such a shame, Bioware...

Your answer for the WORST graphics in a current gen game is DA:O?

Man, I wish I had your luck.

Dragon Age looks FAR better on PC, so I personally think that it has quite good graphics. I'd say the Guitar Hero games. They just look plain terrible.

Yea I agree with this. Like on computer, its pretty awesome, but for other consoles; It was obviously more meant for the computer

 

[captainfoss]

mount and blade warband, even though i love the game to bits, its so mindnumbingly ugly, it makes you want to punch the character models in the face

I think I may of once tried punching the character models, well that was before i realized the boundary between reality and my ugly character was my new monitor.

Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War. It looked terrible, plus the mini-map was pretty much useless.

Heavy Rain!

... Wait, shit.

Dragon Age on the 360. Loved the game but I spent half an hour trying to fix the graphics before realizing it was the game.

Prototypes graphics were nothing special - but then again, it was able to render the enormous amounts of mayhem and explosions without framedrops, sooo...

 

[demoman_chaos]

Halo ODST and Reach both look like Halo 3. Character models may be a smidge improved, but the environments are poo.
Alan Wake is also bad, though many 360 fanbois claim it looks better than games like Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2, the texture work is sloppy at best and the character models aren't that impressive either.
Killzone 2 had very good character models, but the texture work wasn't the best. Its best in standard def when you won't be able to tell.

Prototype looked like absolute dog turd. We all expected better from that game.

I know! It's been hard, but I've been so lucky that all of my games have been of a high quality. You know, once my friend went out to buy Assassins Creed 2, but he was unluck and came back with Bullet Witch.

Quick note: Nintendo has sold more Wiis than the 360 and the PS3 combined. Graphics are not necessary.

Apparently good games aren't necessary, either.

Bad! Bad! We will not have a flamewar here on my watch!

The Conduit is the worst I've seen thus far, kinda makes me sad that it even was released with graphics that shameful.

That's because it is a Wii game, and I cannot take the Wii seriously as calling it a "next generation console".
Partly because it is technically a last generation console.
No, really. It has nearly the same hardware specs as the Gamecube, only it can support one grade higher of anti-aliasing. Oh, and it uses a better storage medium/format for data.

Then there's the motion control illusion...ugh.
The moment I realized that the Wii-motion controls were nothing more than wonky remaps of the Gamecube controller's buttons pretty much dispelled the entire console for me. Don't believe me? Play both versions of Twilight Princess.
It's quite ironic that the only real innovation here was the ability to point at the screen.

Not counting handhelds or the Wii...
Haze.

 

[superbatranger]

Guitar hero, but that doesnt really effect the games that much anyways.

Yea, everyone is too busy looking at the skittles..I mean notes falling down the screen to check that the bass player's fingernails are well rendered.

Disagree. Well actually I agree and disagree.

The Conduit from a technical standpoint is actually pretty good, but from an artistic standpoint it's really bad. Essentially if that engine was given to, oh I dunno, Capcom or someone else, you'd see something a bit more impressive.

Anyway, hmmm...Kung-Fu Funk looked pretty damn bad.

 

[Deadonstick]

All Wii-games ever but that's obvious and for the other consoles definitely Spore, that was just an abomination.
