Are RE4 & Half Life 2 pretty much the graphics kings of the 6th generation?

Are they?

Cause so many gamers say so.

Well, if you're going to include PC games in the discussion then it gets a little blurry, when it comes to what would still count as the "6th generation". The PC doesn't upgrade like that, so you'd pretty much just have to go on a timeline I guess, and even though the Xbox 360 and PS3 were coming out like 2005-2006, there were still games being released on the PS2 much later. But anyway, I'd say, if late 2005 would still count as that generation for PC games, then F.E.A.R. has to make the cut. Other than that, on the consoles, RE4 was huge, but so was MGS3, and Ninja Gaiden, and Gran Turismo 3 and 4. I would actually have to cast my vote for MGS3 as the console king.

Half-Life 2 was pretty tonned-down on the Xbox in comparison with the PC version, visually. Still looked impressive but I'd say RE4 had the more consistent visuals. It was the unmatched physics that were more impressive in H-L2 for Xbox. It's also not that easy to pick just one or two "best-looking" games of that console era since art-style is just as important as the technical side is (for example Wind Waker and Okami more than make up for what they lack in texture sharpness with their artistic directions).

But if we're taking pure technical graphics, I think Doom 3 and Chaos Theory on the Xbox take the crown (on the consoles, but also on the PC at the time of their release).

HL2 is the most beautiful game I've ever played, so my answer is yes.

Actually, I take HL2 graphics over a lot of this gen games'.

I thought Far Cry on the XBox looked good as well.

Toss up between Far Cry, Half-Life 2, Doom III, and Chronicles of Riddic. I don't consider F.e.a.r apart of the 6th generations because if I did I would have to consider COD2 as well. And COD2 probably looks better.

I would say Conker: Live and Reloaded is

Up the resolution and it could pass for a current gen game.

I'd say so, maybe stick in Far Cry, and I guess FEAR depending on when exactly it came out.

I'm gonna go with Far Cry.

I had completely forgotten about Doom 3 and Far Cry. Great looking games of the time. And I think F.E.A.R. should count. It was released on PC before the Xbox 360 or PS3 were released. It beat the 360 by less than a month.

I've been playing Ninja Gaiden Black recently on my Xbox-1 and I have to really put it up there on the list. Every thing is smooth (anti-aliasing), the texture work is pretty damn good and the whole thing runs at a silky 60fps. Most of last gens games looked fine on my old 34 inch TV, but not so hot on my 50. NGB even on the 50 inch looks great.

F-zero GX is the best looking GameCube game

imo

Splinter Cell and RE4 are the best to me.

last i checked REmake in 2002 had better graphics then RE4 in 2004

Depends what is better to you - high-poly characters and pre-rendered backgrounds or a little lower texture/model quality but a fully 3D environment.

Doom 3 and Chaos Theory had easily the most technically impressive graphics at the time (PC versions shown):

Now I'm not saying RE4 and H-L2 looked bad (they looked great even) but when it comes to graphical effects Doom 3 and Chaos Theory easily take the crown imho.

Can you guys combine those games to give me a top 5,then?

Yes,i mean top 5 graphics from the 6th generation.

Thanks in advance.:)

Are we talking consoles & PC? I'll just go with the consoles since the PC is always technically in another generation of its own. In no particuler order:

• Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
• Doom 3
• Half Life 2
• Halo 2
• Chronicles Of Riddick
• Resident Evil 4
