Prettiest game?

Postby **Steeltemplar** » Wed Dec 21, 2005 10:03 am

I think the prettiest games of recent history would all have to be PC. Just some examples: (in order) Morrowind, F.E.A.R., and Far Cry. I would mention Half-Life 2, but MSP has got that already.

Um, MSp, I really hope that`s just in your opinion. I`ve played many rpgs better than FF6 IMO.

As for you`re FF6 and Super Mario RPG comment, let`s take a peak:

FF6:

Anyways if we`re talking about prettier graphics MSP I can understand, but when it comes to realistic, I`m sorry, the little plummer takes the cake.

I'm also going with SMRPG on this one. And, you are wrong, MSP, Seiken Densetsu 3 did own.

Postby **Nate** » Wed Dec 21, 2005 12:47 pm

Well, this isn't a thread about realistic graphics, just pretty graphics.

Though, in my opinion, Seiken Densetsu 3 was the pinnacle of SNES graphics capability, and pretty much everyone else agrees. Plus, everyone knows that it's been scientifically proven through rigorous testing that Chrono Trigger is the greatest RPG of all time. So I think his comments can be safely ignored.

P.S. Your first link doesn't work, Tom.

When you say SD3 owned do you mean by graphics or gameplay? If gameplay, then I would just like to request that debate stops but if it`s about graphics I would like the debate to stop as well (My opinion: SD owns).

The first link works for me. Everything underlined in blue is clickable and leads to a picture.

To an extent, realistic is going to mean pretty in a lot of cases. Look at the Far Cry pic I posted. Is that not pretty?

For my comp, the Far Cry pic didn`t show.

Both, actually.

Hmmm... I'm gonna have to disagree... Actually, no I'm not... SD3 was FAR prettier than FF6... And as for it being inferior to SD2... SD2 was good, but not THAT good... It was like a first generation SNES game, and it was the pinnacle at its time, but SD3 surpassed it in every way. Better Story (and multi-linear story that worked), better graphics, better gameplay, better music... Of course, I liked the music in FF6 better than SD3, and the Story better in 6, too... For pure replay value (ignoring those horrible endless godbeast battles), though, SD3 was king... We are talking about pretty, though... SD3 was totemo kirei!!!

This Nih-hone-go brought to you by Frosted Flakes. [button="big digression"]Which brings me to a funny story... I once had this friend who had a teacher he hated whose name was **Mrs Kellog** so I made a game on Klik *n * Play to mock all of his schoolyard enemies, and had a villain named **Frosted Flake** who was ice and would harm you with icy dandruff... Good times... Actually, I felt stupid afterwards because he got me to mock one of my own friends, though I didn*t make him a villain (I don*t think) Man... I was easily swayed by friends, especially pushy ones[/button]

Just to make sure I'm not guilty of miscomunication:

Best Graphics: SD3 > SMRPG > FF6

Best Game: FF6 > SD3 > SMRPG

Who cares about the graphics? What's really important is fun (and often original) gameplay! Although pretty graphics are bonus.

Postby **TurkishMonky** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 12:35 pm

Call of Duty 2 has some nice graphics, especially with high end cards

Postby **EireWolf** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 12:40 pm

I don't know about the most beautiful games out there, but 2 of the most beautiful games that I have played are Myst and Ico.

Postby **Chosen Raven** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 1:38 pm

Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. The two most beautiful games I have ever seen. There are parts in those games where you just want to fix the camera in one position and stare at the screen. I shudder to think of what the guys who made this game will be able to do on the PS3.

Postby **Mithrandir** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 2:09 pm

Seriously. Ico was unbelievable! No wait! I mean it was SPOOKILY believable. Or something...

lol.... who said pretty had to be graphics only?

FF6 is the prettiest cause it has an awesome storyline and best soundtrack i've ever heard

Postby **Tommy** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 5:42 pm

Well, as i have said it is all in a matter of opinion. I would like an up-to-date remixed soundtrack for FF6 myself. That or an FF6 remake will do.

Back on topic, i think the pretty qualities of the game in this thread is primarily refering to the graphics as oposed to other qualities that would make the game.....pretty.

Postby **Myoti** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 5:56 pm

Ask, and it shall be given.

S-E is doing a remake for the GBA.

On a side note, we'll finally be getting a GBA remake for Tales of Phantasia!!

Postby **dareiq s'an** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 6:05 pm

KINGDOM HEARTS 1 and 2!!!

It's not exactly a remake. More like a combination port of TOP-PSX and TOP-SNES.

TOP is a great game but I'm wondering how well this will actually do as TOP's battle system is likely going to come off clunky and primitive to those who were only introduced to the series with Tales of Symphonia.
It doesn't really help that the GBA one is supposed to be the worst of the three versions available.

Postby **PigtailsJazz** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 6:20 pm

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess *WILL* be the most beautiful...

Now for the long, loooooooong wait....

your wish has been granted.... however its not the FULL ost, just some of the songs (I have all three of them)

All I can say..... TOM... THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Aria de Mezzo Caratte (the opera one) almost made me cry! It was absolutely AMAZING. They got a real opera singer for it!

Postby **Tommy** » Fri Dec 23, 2005 7:27 am

PJ: It has been debating for along time but FF fans have been waiting a lot longer for FFXII. Unfortunately, FFXII has crappy gameplay compared to the series` past games.

Here is some screenshots for the beautiful-graphiced FF12:

I'm not really into fighting games, but I was very impressed with Soul Caliber III. The graphics were excellent - and they were only made better by the fact that the game controls worked well, too.

I've played good looking games before that looked great, but all of the graphics caused the game play to be jerky, slow down, or hang completely. Not so with Soul Caliber.

All four Dancing Mad themes rival One Winged Angel for awesomeness (they even had synthesized vocals!).

current:Ninja gaiden is very very pretty and also very hard also chronicles of riddick :escape from butchers bay looked very nice

next gen: PD0 is a very nice looking game along with Call of duty 2 but i think prettiest would be ..... Kameo since all the enviroments look great

O.O

MUST HEAR! XD

And I just thought of something: since this is about "prettiest" games, doesn't music go along with that?

Postby **Godly Paladin** » Sun Dec 25, 2005 2:55 pm

I'd have to say that the first three places belong to Myst 3, 4, and 5. Those things are just jaw-dropping...sometimes I simply wander around the environments so I can see the sights and hear the sounds.

Nothing beats the later Myst games in total darkness with high quality headphones.

Postby **Kuro-Mizu** » Sun Dec 25, 2005 3:25 pm

I would have to say baten kaitos or Final fantasy Crystal chronicles for game cube... I dunno about NEthing else!

Prettiest game?
