A true GeoW/MGS4 Graphics comparison

Before I start, I tried to make this as fair as possible. I do own GeoW, but I absolutely hate it, and I want MGS4, that aside, I tried to make this fair.

Imo, they look equally amazing, but you decide.

Hell yeah! Let's compare a CGI screenshot with real-time. :DChrnoTrigger

I sure hope that was sarcasm.

[QUOTE="ChrnoTrigger"]Hell yeah! Let's compare a CGI screenshot with real-time. :DSooshy

Oh wow, you're joking right? Take a look at the second screen :)

Noones joking, they're both in-engine shots

Cookies, definently cookies.no_handlebars

Oreos > all other cookies in terms of graphics. :P

This is a hard choice, but i will choose cookies.

But really, MGS 4 is an awesome game, it's a shame it isn't avaible for the Xbox...yet.

2 pics to compare 2 equally great games... hmm not doing it justice. Anyway they both look great in their particular art style. No way to decide which ones better because different artstyles.

Um both of those are cut scene shots.

Where's the CGI? Both games only use In-engine cutscenes. I have finished both games more than once, so I would know.

Let me say this just one more time: Both games use in-engine cutscenes. The gameplay looks that good.

I've played and beaten the game. It does NOT look like that, that's either a pic from before the game was released or it just looks really good because it's been resized really small.

In-engine != ingame and neither look that good ingame. Especially the AA levels. Theres no point in using cut-scene shots when you can just as easily use ingame shots.

WOW

I honestly can not believe that there are still people who don't know Gears of War/Metal Gear Solid 4 use in-game engine for all their cutscenes. You people are posting on a damn video game message board, how do you not know this by now? Yes, the games look that good while playing. That is what they actually look like. You people need to get away from your Wii's or upgrade to an HDTV or something. I am honestly baffled by your ignorance.

When you change the camera angle and add camera effects to it, it looks that good. But it's still using in-engine textures and models. You play Gears of War from a behind the back perspective, but when you zoom in into the models they looks very good. There is detail that you notice when you are that close that you don't notice while playing.

The fact that we are comparing a game that came out a month ago with a game that came out in November 2006 is a pretty good indicator of Gears' quality.Notrelevant

Good point! Guess the PS3 isnt more powerful after all!

Even in the cutscenes, from what I remember, Baird never looked that detailed. I'd believe this if I got a youtube link or something to the cutscene :/

Gears has better textures and color. I dont know what the guy who said the background is a blurry mess in the GeOW pic. Gears textures are much better and not near as blurry as MGS textures! But, thats what happens when the Sony sheeple glasses are put on. Oh yeah, love how MGS looks all green.... sikeFranco-J

MGS4 isn't all green. its just that area of the game. obviously you haven't played the game. I say both games look equally amazing MGS4 has a deffinate edge but i wouldn't cry over gears either

They both look awesome and play awesome.

I will say Mgs4, only because the background is not a blurry mess...Franko_3

Oreos > all other cookies in terms of graphics. :P

amirite?

oh, and both games look good.

You should be using a GeOW2 screenshot instead.DuDisNow

Oh that's brilliant! Lets compare a game that is out and critically acclaimed to a game that is months from release!:roll:

Okay I'm back in the real world! They both look good and both have their strengths and weaknesses. In overall clarity, animation, game length and in-game smoothness, MGS4 is better. GEOW has better textures up close and shear brutality on the games side. Plus a better on-line experience. I pick MGS4 because it is a much more intelligently thought game in my opinion.

Have you even played gears? it doesn't HAVE CGI

Oh wow, you're joking right? Take a look at the second screen :)

Gears of War 1 (and Gears 2), both use in-game cinematics. Just watch the Unreal Engine 3.5 demonstration, it shows you there.

Neither game uses CGI.
