I'm not sure. Gears 2 has some nicer textures, but MGS4's characters look a lot better, both in terms of detail and movement.

Gears 2 is better graphically, but MGS4 has better production values. Personally, I prefer the look and feel of MGS4, but you I think its pretty obvious Gear2 looks better technically.

I like MGS4 in terms of graphics. No doubt that Gears 1 looks great when playing especially on my PC. I have not played Gears 2, but it looks a bit better than the first one.

in still shots, i think gears 2 looks better. but in movement and with lighting and other effects, I think mgs4 has the edge.

environmental textures, gears 2 wins

Gears 2 looks better overall, but MGS4's character models are simply incredible.

Graphically Gears 2 is better than MGS4. Don't get me wrong, MGS4 looks really really good, Gears 2 just looks better.

MGS4 for me. The small details like dynamic footprints, character models, dust flying onto the screen, and smooth transitions between view modes is really what makes this better than gears. Gears does still look nice though

They are different styles. Gears "looks" better, but technically speaking that can mean very little.

Yeah. I have to give MGS4 credit for its character models as well.

i think it is fair to say that both games have strengths and weeknesses. overall it is hard to say as they both have very different art styles.

Gears 2 seriously beats it hard. So much more detailed in textures, lighting, and everything. We've already had a poll for this, though... and Gears 2 won.

lol, you haven't played the game....or atleast be less bias towards the 360. the FACT IS. MGS4 has better looking and sharper character models with less to NO jaggies. Gears 2 has better looking environments and textures.

the game has quite a bit of jaggies and low rez textures, more so than the first....so the other things in gears 2 can be bumped up.

That's exactly what I was going to say. I think MGS4 beats it out by a little. Also because Gears is a little blurry in some parts. Not motion blur, just blurry

It's called depth of field, not "blurry".

MGS 4 is more visually impressive from what I've seen. Gears 2 still has that whole "greyscale" look to it.

Sounds like your tv's half*****. I recommend picking up another set, because mine's crystal clear. It shouldn't be "blurry", especially the whole screen. That's your tv's problem.

I like how MGS4's world just feels alive. Gears 2's graphics probably win in the pure technical department though
