Okay, one thing you guys dont understand is why this game looks so good in motion and not in stills. Many previews have said that the reason MGS4s graphics looks so good and immersive is because of the environment. For example, there is always dust flying about, garbage flying out, explosions, the wind blowing snakes hair etc. Stills cannot capture these intricate details which make MGS4's environment so lifelike. If you dont believe me, just watch the 15 min gameplay trailer again to see for yourself or if your in a detective mood, find the previews that said this.

Also, dont compare MGO to MGS4. While MGS4 runs at a solid 60 fps, mgo only runs at about 30-40. Also, MGO's graphics, though not bad, are not nearly as poilished as MGS4s. it also lacks most of the affects I mentioned above that make the environment so immersive.

most of the argument is because the textures don't look as amaZing.

Who said MGS4 looks bad? It's not going to be the graphics king, but it is anything but bad.

If anyone thinks MGS4's graphics are bad, I will come out from under your bed and smack you in the ear.

The only issues are the jagged shadows and the textures. I played in the MGO beta, and I have to agree that without the dynamic particle and wind effects, you don't get the full experience. There were so many times in Midtown Mayhem where I rolled out of cover because I thought that a falling piece of garbage was actually a grenade :P

Wait - Gears of War can be labeled as having bad graphics because of the drab colors? And MGS4 is just as a big offender in that department - yet it does not have bad graphics?
Thats pretty hypocritical.

I rarely see someone complain about the MGS graphics but if you do see someone its the hardcore xbox fan.

MGS4 doesn't look bad. I would say more run of the mill, boiler plate, or average

If games like Halo 3 can get bashed on graphics.. I don't see why MGS4 wouldn't be.

Me too! I honestly went to go preorder one today at Gamestop, but they weren't taking pre-orders, though they clearly had a sign outside advertising the bundle. Hopefully I can find a place that will let me preorder soon, before they all dry up.

In system wars, if a game doesn't have shiny textures like gears its an instant fail.

because we all know that Animation, Meshes, charr models, level designe etc got nothing to do with graphics.

You make a valid point. I may sound bias, but ever since I laid my eyes on Gears of War and picked up my very own copy, it has become my standard in gaming. Gears of War looks absolutely amazing. GOW really paid attention to detail, down to every nook and cranny. Cracks on the wall and ground, has cracks within itself! I mean.. sheesh. Still, MGS4 looks beautiful. GOW is more on dark, dull colors and high contrast - deep blacks. MGS4, judging from gameplay footage is more of a open world. We have desert (sp?) colors, browns, tans, army green and all that. I guess we just have to wait and see. I'm positive MGS4 will have more level designs than just the ones we have seen in the recent months. Kojima doesnt disappoint, ever.

Clear damage control. Lemms were told "just wait" for MGS etc. Now its graphics will prolly be "on-par" as it were. Another nail in the coffin of the "power" of the Playstation3/Cell.

I think the graphics look pretty good, it may not be on par with goldeneye on N64, but it's pretty close.

The textures aren't great,I think thats down to the PS3's limited vram.But I just love the overall look of this game,I think it looks superb.
