Sony's decision to go with cell processing made the PlayStation 3 a notoriously frustrating device for developers to work with; however, first-party studios knew exactly how to get the most out of the hardware. Frequently defying expectations, Telltale Games deliver fantastic licensed games that even improve upon the source material. Be it the graphic novel, TV show, or video game series; The Walking Dead is a name that means something to a lot of people.
Published during a period when AMC's zombie franchise was not consistently treading water, The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct garnered near-universal disdain from critics. Every single part of the game received a thorough licking, but the graphics fared worse than most other features. Survival Instinct would have failed to impress in , let alone ! As long as Ubisoft sell a functioning product, Assassin's Creed rarely fails to be a visual delight.
Following the disappointing third entry, expectations were not particularly high for 's pirate-themed sequel. Despite earning a number for its title, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is closer to a spin-off than a typical mainline game in the series. The open sea is a blast to explore, while the graphics have not lost their edge.
Often constructed on a limited budget, studios are left with little choice but to prioritize the design of the characters above the environments. The very definition of a niche product, Hyperdimension Neptunia boasts an endearing cast and a battle system with far more depth than first meets the eye.
Even though the goddesses look fine, Nep-Nep and company's adventures boil down to trudging through the same low-texture areas across nearly the entire series! In recent years, racing fans have been spoiled for choice! Forza Motorsport 7 , DiRT 4 , and Need for Speed Payback all lay claim to being among the most visually stupefying games on the market. Up until the PlayStation 2, Gran Turismo was the racer to beat, but Polyphony Digital's franchise lost quite a bit of steam during the seventh generation.
Shaking things up by opting for a more realistic art style, Gran Turismo 6 looks just as good as the sports car featured in its campaign. Nowadays, photo-realistic visuals are the standard, but this was actually quite a substantial departure for Sony's brand. Atlus' RPG might be featured for this entry's photo, but think out of it as a stand-in for every adaptation based on George R.
Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. Telltale's Game of Thrones was also marred by technical glitches and flat textures, but the writing was marginally better than 's RPG. Atlus' Game of Thrones wastes an adequate storyline on boring gameplay, stiff animation, and an absurdly cheap-looking interpretation of Westeros.
David Cage aspires to be a filmmaker. Simply trying any of his games should present a more than convincing enough argument, but Beyond: Two Souls even premiered at a film festival. An interactive drama starring Ellen Page as an alien clumsily mimicking Ellen Page's strange human behavior, Quantic Dream employed motion-capture technology to fully translate the cast's performances into Beyond: Two Souls.
Lacking gameplay and hindered by a rather strange narrative structure, Quantic Dream's "game" is a pretty mess, but a mess nonetheless. Regardless, the visuals deserve an Oscar. TechRadar pro IT insights for business.
North America. Audio player loading…. Unfortunately, that is where the good stuff ends. Duke Nukem Forever was a disappointment, especially when it comes to graphics. It is easy to tell that this game passed many hands and iterations during its time in development. Settings look clunky, the colors are washed out, and it looks years older than its launch date. If you want an experience that doesn't remind you that you are in the s, check out another title. Yes, Mr. Blades of Chaos himself has still stood the test of time.
We know that he has a new iteration to be compared to, but we can't help but call out how good his third outing still looks. From Kratos' rendering to the gory results he produces, everything still looks sharp and clear. Bad graphics can take away from the gaming experience; fortunately, in Kratos' situation, you can still enjoy pummeling ancient Greek monsters on your big screen.
Remember those discussions you had with your friends where you pitted weird things against one another? Well, this game allows you to do this, only with animals.
Maybe you want to see a wolf take on a lion, or you want to see a particular animal play dress up. Either way, this game is weird but oddly entertaining. The only un-fun thing about this game is the graphics. They are clunky, and definitely take away the realism of the experience.
From a game where you can pit any animal against another, should you expect a pristine gaming experience? Probably not. James Rivington. See more Peripherals news. And GM will build the cars for our next civilization.
