Best graphics ever

[MasterOfUnlocking]

I just wanted to say that I have never seen such a stunningly beautiful and detailed game. I'm playing the game maxed out in 1080p and I have never seen a game that comes even close.
What do you guys think about the graphics?

[Icysoft]

Nothing special.. console-ish feel to it. Check out Crysis 3 for awesome graphics

Note: He asked specifically for GRAPHICS

[OMG Alien]

Graphics aren't that amazing. Like icysoft said Crysis 3 is the best for SOLELY graphics. Dirt 3 and Battlefield 3 also have amazing graphics. Bioshock has a great art style but the graphics are ehh.

[MasterOfUnlocking]

Yes, I have Battlefield 3, but in my opinion BI has much more detailed textures and lighting. I am just genuinely impressed. You know what I mean?

Yeah I know what you mean but the game still looks cartoon like in a way. Don't get me wrong, I still think the game looks amazing.

[PixelRepublic]

Its the steam punk art style, they're not meant to be real looking. They are meant to look cartoon-ish.

I can understand the argument people raise about this style, same was said about Dishonored. But I still think its well done.

Its basicly running in DX9 with a few DX10 lighting effects and loads of bloom thrown at it. The art style is great but everything including the characters looks very angular with sharp, blocky and unrealistic edges. Tesselation would have made it look far nicer and after playing tomb raider it looks a little disappointing.

It DOES have tessellation!

And how is that blocky?

I agree. They're amazing. Like playing a Disney Pixar movie at times.

I got some pretty nice screenshots at 2560x1600 with high graphic settings: http://steamcommunity.com/id/spydercanopus/screenshots

It looks and feel like a console port (with an overlay of hamfisted lighting on higher settings). it looks like the graphics are made to work on consoles first and foremost and it doesnt even make my system break sweat. And no, its not behemoth class, just high midrange. The art design is out of this world and in the spirit of B1 which was the first game I can remember who chose a specific style and ran with it like that.

[Failboat]

I think we need to make a distinction, because the graphic design is indeed awesome, but some people read graphics and they think the only thing that counts is how many polygons the engine can churn out. You may be able to make a giant tower of wooden planks in crysis, but it will never hold a candle to the ending scene with the infinite lighthouses.

But some textures looks just awful and low res, look at rose bushes on your screen for example.

The graphics are beautiful. Don;t mind some of the people in this thread. They think that near photorealistic means that it's the best graphics. They don't quite understand art style

Unreal Engine 3?? LMAO okay kid. Welcome to PC gaming. That was 7 years ago when we all said UE3 was nice looking. For a lifetime PC gamer like myself, I'm rather disappointed that the industry is using old technology with almost zero innovation in game design. It's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joke now. You people must all be born after 1990.

And another pc elitist who doesn't understand art style. Photorealistic doesn;t mean best graphics...

Btw, I started gaming on pc in the 70s. You going to call me a kid?

I never said anything about the graphics. I was talking abbout the old graphics engine technology it uses. What the ♥♥♥♥ are you talking about?
