Best Graphics and World Design ..

[Hameedo]

many games have great graphics ..and many games have perfect graphics ...but what do we like among them ..I mean what is the best world design you wish that all games have somehting similar to it ....?

here are the best games in graphics design ever....

Level one games :

Half Life 2 :wonderful refelction of water ..realstic faces of characters ...but just open the console and type "noclip" ...and you will see that most of the scenes are just a cortex ...beside .textures don't seem to be very solid ...

DOOM3 & Quake 4 : solid scince fiction graphic...complicated lightning and shadows scenes ..most of them are cortex in doom3 ...but in Quake 4 ..it's huge ! ...textures look washed out in some areas ...

Far Cry : a complete world design ..no cortex ...pleasant water and environmental scenes ..

Battle Field 2 : well designed characters and objects (tanks , cars ,planes)...realistic environments ..good looking water and sky ...no cortex !!

The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay : unfortunately I didn't try it ..so I can't judge ...but from what I read it's definitly level one...

Max Payne 2 : accurate textures in every thing ...most objects are highly detailed ..wonderful bullets and guns design.. but graphic engine is quiet old ..

Level two games :

F.E.A.R : best particle effects ever ..complicated shadow and lights effects ..solid textures... focusing on indoor scenes ...but outdoor scenes don't look that good in fact they don't look good at all ...that's why it's in level 2...water looks cool ..but far away from realism ...

Serious Sam 2 : colorful environments ..present an enjoy to the eye ...great textures ..and lights effects ..accurate design of enemies(highly textured) ..but bad character details ....

Call Of Duty 2 : highly detailed characters ..cool DX9 textures...but world details are good and no more than good !

Unreal Tournament 2004 : high world and objects details ...no cortex ..beautiful battle effects ..good trextures except for characters ...

NFS Most Wanted : cool environment design ...smooth cars ...amazing reflections and lightning ..but charcters look bad ...small amount of textures ...

Age Of Empires III : beautiful world design (water,trees,buildings,shadows,lights,...etc)

those previous games have the most grahics technology ever created ..which one of them is the best in graphic design ...which one of them enjoyed you by it's visuals ?

For me it's Far Cry that has all the excellent features ...and the absolute world design ...

comes right after it Max Payne 2...which was really accurate in every thing ....

Nah, I think it's a great post.

I just don't think many people would disagree with much of what you've said. 8)

So, in response, I agree with a lot of it but haven't played quite a few of the games listed.

I have to agree in your assessment overall. I don't know if it is good to group older games in with newer (AKA Max Payne) as its graphics engine is obviously dated because the game has been out for a while already...but great job with everything overall.

Have you tried out any of the Splinter Cell games? Chaos Theory is deliciously gorgeous and the environments are full of detail!
