Hermits really need to be careful about claiming graphical superiority over consoles and what not. Why?

Let's look at last generation, what was the best looking game? it was Conker: Live and Reloaded. Don't believe me?

yea, that game still holds up to this day very nicely actually.


So what am I saying? Don't get cocky hermits. You might be eating them sooner than you think. Seriously, be careful, especially considering you guys think consoles can't do anything. Last generation you were wrong. Who's to say you're right this time?

I always say, never put much thought into your first post, because most people will disregard it.

Seems like I'm right.

^ Why not? Doesn't that mean I'm a more insightful person?

I'm just pointing out something that happened last generation. Despite this, hermits are doing it again.

Half-Life 2 was the most graphically stunning game last generation.

Look at the video.

Half Life: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/952.html

Conker (already linked)

You can't be serious. I know HL2 s a great game. But it wasn't the best looking game. Most realistic yes, but definately not graphically. Just, look. And yes, Conker runs in 720p on the xbox (it was one of the 3, i think, that did so)

Conker had good graphics, but it wasn't the best. Whatever evidence you're using to say that it looks better than Half-Life 2 is absolutely ludicrous. Half-Life 2 was the most graphically and technically advanced game last gen, and probably THE best game last gen as well.

Maybe technically (it does soft shadowing, volumetric lighting, etc.) but for pure asthetic quality, no. Why not just look at videos yourself.


Hell, even for today, Conker looks pretty damn good.

I'm obviously talking about the single player mode (the mp mode is very downgraded)

I don't mean to be mean, but just look at each games. Play the games if you have them, watch videos if you don't. Just, look at it.

Being serious: Conker: Live and Reloaded is still a good looking game.

FEAR came out a few months after Conker and was by far the best looking game of the time.

And looking at the games- don't you agree that FEAR looks meh by today and conker has appeal to it?

Are videos not enough? Do I really need a link? You guys are pathetic.

And that article someone posted said Splinter Cell looks better than conker. That's just... dumb to say. Retarded actually.

If were talking stylistically, then Okami wins by a mile.

Other wise, HL2 wins.

^ Okay guys, I hope I'm blind then :D

Seriously, Conker is sweet looking to this day. It really looks like a this generation game. Those graphics could have easily came out on the 360.

Somebody should post some screens of Far Cry, Half life 2, and Doom 3 to shut this guy up. I bet he's never played either of those games on PC.

Yes, they could have.

But then it would've gotten slammed for bad graphics.

Graphics will always be better on PC. PC can be upgraded and a console can't. It's not rocket science you know. I love how we are cocky because we simply speak the truth.

Sorry pal, but you seem to be really clueless when it comes to computers and computer games. Half Life 2 on the PC stomps any console game last gen. You being in denial about it doesn't change that it is a fact. Not opinion, but pure fact.

I see what your saying. Conkers art style is still very appealing, more so than the drab look of FEAR, but some people just rather that and you can't make them see otherwise.

Far Cry, Doom 3, and Half Life 2 were better looking and more technically impressive. The Xbox version of Half Life 2, Doom 3, and Far Cry looked like crap compared to the PC versions. Don't kid yourself, you're basicly saying the Xbox was able to compete with a high end computer from 2004 which would have consisted of a 2.4 GHZ Athlon 64 or 3.0 GHZ P4 for the processor, 1-2 GB's of ram, and a Geforce 6800 GT or Radeon X800 pro. Compare that to the Xbox's 64 mb's of ram, a 700 mhz celeron processor, and a slightly re-worked Geforce 3...... :|

Conker did not look better then these:

Ughh..that looks nowhere near as good as Far Cry or SWAT4. HL2 also looks quite a lot better than Conker.

You are calling people retarted and pathetic for being corrrect?

YOU rather conker, that is nice, yes it has a nice art style, but no its not the 'best looking game; of last gen, far from it, and on even the Ixbox there were better looking games.

And yet you go on to insult other people, as you are totally ignorant yourself.

Now that is pathetic.

Chaos Theory on PC looks a lot better than Conker.

You do realize that unlike Xbox version the PC one makes use of Shader Model 3.0, right?
