Prettiest games this generation

MGS2:SoL - I don't think I have ever played a more immersive and impressive game and everyone knows the reasons.

Immersive? I fell asleep playing the game, damm those codec transmisions, they always stopped the action.

I thought it was an immersive movie, since i don't remember actually grabbing the gamepad and playing the damn thing!

Silent Hill 4 - The Room gets my vote. Finished the game yesterday. It's simply breathtaking.

It's already out in Europe?? Is it much better graphically than SH3?

No. The japanese version has english voices plus japanese/english selection for subtitles, so it's pretty much an importers dream.

I think so. It's quite different, both artistically and technically (not to mention story- and gameplay-wise). They've scrapped the flashlight (!) in favor for other effects and lighter locales. The self-shadowing is still there, though, together with stencil shadows from all characters/monsters. Also, pre-baked global illumination is all around, and it's wonderfully directed.

The most prominent effect is a new noisy corona around all major lightsources. It's probably quite simple and "2D" in execution, but it really adds to the atmosphere of the imagery. The character models are similar to SH3 in style, just even better textured. Quite amazing, really.

PS2 - Jak 2, GT4
GC - Rogue leader

I'm undecided on xbox, there are tomany diffrent ways you could judge the selection I've found. Some titles like Wreckless and Splinter Cell are shader heavy, Ninja Gaiden is texture heavy while titles like PDO/RC2 are geometry heavy. Because of this I won't select any one single Xbox game as the winner.
