Beautiful not just in terms of pixels & resolution *cough Crysis cough COD cough Battlefield, but in an artistic way that makes the game age well together with time.


YuYu Hakusho (SFC)

2D animation based make it looks like watching the show. Still one of the prettiest 2D games out there.




Dragonball Z: Super Saiyan Densetsu (SFC)

Another 2D RPG with emphasis on cartoon like sequences.


Patlabor (SFC)

Most people probably never heard about it. Another game focusing on cartoon like sequences.




King of Fighters 98 (Arcade)

Maybe not as high res as recent releases, it's one of the last true KOF games that retains it's unique art. 99-01 may still retain the drawing style but loses out with their mediocre level designs.




Last Blade 1 & 2 (Arcade)

One of the more underrated titles out there. Yet one of the most beautiful game Neo Geo ever created. The game somehow creates the atmosphere of 2 samurais dueling each other, compared to the Gungho Samurai Spirits, you can say one is fine wine the other german beer.




Metal Slug 1-7

Even up until today, the latest release still looks the same as the 1st title shows how great it looks in 2D sprites.


Lucky And Wild (Arcade)

While not considered artistic. It's quite colorful & fun to watch compared to other aged shooter & driving simulators.


Super Street Fighter 2 X/Turbo (Arcade)

The last true Street Fighter that followed it's original design with much improvements. This game still looks more beautiful compared to Street Fighter IV. Back when 3D & High resolution are overrated. It has the most beautiful Chun Li in the franchise.




Silent Hill 3 (PC)

Over a decade old, this game still has amazing graphics, esp on 1080p. Seems the creators designed it for future hardware. It has one of the most realistic facial expression, done by hand when facial motion tracker weren't common. Still the best looking Silent Hill up to date.




Resident Evil 1 Remake (Gamecube)

Pretty old 3D game but still one of the spookiest & artistic game out there, similar artwork along with RE Zero & Chronicles. Jill still looks great even in low resolution.




Hitman Absolution (PC)

Modern graphic engine & effects with an extra fine touch of art. Every snapshots looks like a concept art more than a 3D game. Something that won't look dated with time.

warning: 1080p




These are what i can think of on top of my head at the moment. As you can see there's only 1 modern games in the list which is Hitman Absolution. Most modern games just emphasize on high res, fancy bloom, realistic view & ignore making their own artistic views, and as a result won't age as well compared to those that do.

Sonic Generations

Forgot to mention there's a few Ipad games that looks really unique. one of those is the black & white game.

inb4 ifags.

super mario 3

Only the 2D version.

if you say contra it should be the arcade version that looks better. Contra 1 or 2?

MGS4

Looks like crab even though it may have looked good back in it's prime days...

i like those neo-geo games

where can get the emu? i want to play bomberman

it was the best game in 90's

i enjoyed playing this game with my father

my father control the mouse and i control the keyboard

such a wonderful memories with unreal

serious sam 1 & 2

im surprised nobody said Skyrim or Oblivion

spore
Gta san andreas

star craft

i'm more surprised nobody mentioned the witcher 2

mebe /k all prefer JRPGs

Most beautiful game ever played? Hmm....

I'd say Dead Space, amazing story line and graphics.
Then...Mass Effect series.
What else....Megaman Legends was quite nice considering how unorthodox it was to see Megaman that way in 3D.

i couldnt finish dead space. the confusing nongravitational areas and the slow laggy movement of the main character stopped me from playing. but i still have the game... might pop it in

n i just finished playing dragon age origins as well... and how i am glad i played it.

Fruit ninja!

arkham city

Dead Island : Game of the Year

The Longest Journey it's seem that I'm the only old fag remember this beautiful well-made video game

r_apelay

twinbee and persona 2

and Diablo 2
it seem like a 3d game if you have a low res monitor to play it with..

Shadow of colossus

Before that I played this and enjoyed it, it was quite similar.



For a long time I was mesmerized by the graphics of Freespace 2. The sight of huge capital ships exchanging beam cannons at each other while you're darting around between them embroiled with dogfights against enemy fighters with lasers and missiles on a backdrop of deep space with its nebulae, stars and planets was simply amazing.

Best looking game in recent memory for me was Far Cry 3. I really enjoyed the open jungle/island environment and the water and fire effects were great for me.

Tetris

COD MW

cod4

MGS 4
Final Fantasy 13
Tekken Tag 2
NFS Most Wanted 2012
LA Noire
Gals Panic 3

i would say fear 3 is more beautiful in terms of arts & design. fear 1 was scary but nothing special.

Far Cry was the most advance graphic game in it's time. Like the colors of the sun & sea, but Crysis inherited those pretty good.

Skyrim with fap mod. NSFW

obviously the most beautiful game ever created is SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS!

I play it also, last time only got 16x CDROM, loading time damn sakit hati.
It's sequence is much better, but I don't like they kill the first's character.

any pc games with fx visual are stunning beautiful

Battlefield 3

stalker - Shadow of Chernobyl

Half life 2

okami~

best music, best gameplay

PS1 - Final Fantasy 9
Just look at the sprite or the character model plus the eidolons model. Really detailed for a ps1 graphic.

PS2 - Valkyrie Profile 2 Silmeria
Nicely and breathtaking scenery especially once you have reached Valhalla.

PS2 - Final Fantasy 12
Just look at the characters model, really detailed. Another look at the espers. I often mistaken them for cgi.

Skyrim

Shadow of the Colossus > ICO > all

i have to say its the chrono series. chrono cross and chrono trigger

agree..but gaming is very subjective..its depend on the person liking..

Kof 98 best game in childhood.always play with my little brother with a single keyboard.

DMC > all

Arma 3
