Personaly, I think that MGS4 is one of the best looking console games to date, along with Uncharted: Drakes Fortune and Gears Of War.

And please don't call me a fanboy for saying that, I have owned all three next gen consoles and got rid of the 360 because of the problems I had with it.

MGS4 level design was much better than Gears of War. I am looking forward to more variety and more light in Gears of War 2.

MGS4 is the best looking game on any console as of right now .

NinjaMunkey01

Gears > MGS4, graphics, imo.

Well the reviewers say otherwise.

At the mement MGS4 is the best looking game on any console, thats it. I dont see why 360 owners are so annoyed with this though as soon enough Gears 2 will change all that.

Also please stop calling gears 1 the best graphics on the 360, UT3 looks better than gears 1, even the devs said so, so find something else to use.

or better yet, admit that the best looking game is on the ps3 at the moment, then when gears 2 comes out that will be the new graphics king.

NO, IT IS NOT. I belive My Eyes, when I play a game, not GameSpot. Gears > MGS4. ANY TIme.

Graphics wise I think MGS4 looks better then gears. Gears 2 though looks better then MGS4. And we already know MGS4 is a better all around game then gears period. Gears 2 may be better gameplay wise and more fun but it better be strong in every area this time if it wants to reclaim GOTY this time around beause we already know MGS4 is.

No, fanboy. Gears is much better, imo.

Garphics wise, I would say Gears Of War and MGS4 are about the same, to be honest, but gameplay wise, Metal Gear Solid 4 blows Gears Of War out of the water.

I find Gears of War better in gameplay and graphics, MGS2 is still my favourite of the series, but MGS4 is good too

Gears of war and Uncharted looks better then metal gear solid 4 imo. Btw Both Gears of war and uncharted got 10 in graphics so dont come with that MGS4 GOT 10 so it has better graphics , it might be the most stunning game technically it still dosnt have better graphics then gears of war. You have your own eyes , look with them instead of takoing some reviwers opinion as a fact.

Yeah i agree, not the greatest graphics out there, but one thing that shines is the character models, and they are bloody brilliant.

all you people who are saying it does not have the best graphics out have either never played it, are in serious denial or dont own a hdtv. All the reviewers would have obviousley played this game on a decent set up( like myslef) and it is absolutely stunning, i dont get why uncharted gets all the credit it does, gears probably looks better, but seriousley mgs4 in ACTUAL MOTION in HD, is the best thing out on consoles so far.

1) I played it on LG 47 inch.

2) Gears of War looks better, in my opinion.

3) Nothing that you or GameSpot says will change my mind, because I have already seen the best of the best of the games and I know which one looks better.

Yes, ok, i agree, the graphics aren't all that...but who cares.

Lets instead talk about the the weak (by MGS standards) story?

Or maybe, the Crippelingly slow pace of the game?

The reliance on cut scenes to move the story on?

The length of the game(Its on like...a dual layer Blu-Ray disk)

Or the broken multiplayer segment?

Critics these days fail there job, with games as high profile as MGS, you have to be picky .

I also found MGS4 graphics underwhelming given the hype. Granted, I only see my bros play it on an SDTV and I'm thinking what's the big deal with all the hype about this game? Also the animations and framerates are awkward IMO.

[QUOTE="HAZE-Unit"]

1- Opinions can not be wrong? thats a new one :lol: if I, for instance, say "in my opinion" George W.Bush is the smartest president in the U.S history, that means my opinion is right, right? get it?

2- Im not going to ignore him/her if the majority of opinions disagrees with this individual and he/she don't get it.

3- So? Im talking about people who just hating on the game without any reason and keep stating it as a fact.

4- I didn't skip what you've posted but I found it to be funny because you criticised the sites first by saying you don't care about their opinions then praised them by saying they are your guidelines for gaming.

5- Read the thread then comeback to me and say the majority are fanboys, actually it was neck and neck between Uncharted and MGS4 and Uncharted won some rounds but in the end MGS4 won for the overall vote and it was a fair poll.

6- prove that you have played both games.

7- You are ignoring every logical argument I gave you from my opinion to two reviewers to the poll that occurred here in SW and if you don't agree with all of that and you didn't even comeback with any useful comments, good for you

HAZE-Unit

1. "in my opinion" George W.Bush is the smartest president in the U.S history," Oh dear:lol:

That's not an opinion, that goes in the lines of attempting to prove or disprove a fact; forming a subjective opinion on something which is as clearly objective as intelligence? How do you form an opinion on a factucal measurment as an IQ test? That's like saying that 6 is a larger number than 7 because I think so. An opinion on the other hand would be "IMO blue is the most beautiful colour"; how is such a statement right or wrong?

2. Your opinion does matter, however, evidently not to them, so why would you even bother engaging a debate with them if they've already made up their mind upon their personal preference?

3. And I'm talking about those who seemingly have honestly, logically and in great detail have explained why they don't feel the game looks as good as others claim. I personally tend to ignore the "MGS 4 looks like trash" posts...

4. What I criticized was more or less your attempts of making the words of the reviewers to somehow be factual although they are not. I clearly stated that I do not perceive their words as law, nothing more nothing less. But I respect their opinions simply because I have many times seen myself share the same opinions when I am in the position to try whatever game they have reviwed. However, this is not always the case.

5. "and a poll that is declared the console graphics king, if someone disagree with all of this then he/she is blind." I still find that statement to be utterly hilarious. Especially considering how much of a miniscule "victory" MGS 4 actually had in that poll. According to you then, those who didn't vote for MGS 4 (which are in a clear majority) are blind; bravo.

6. I don't need to; I've expressed my opinions concerning the games and you thinking I'm telling the truth or not about my experiences with them is remains your concern only.

7. I'm not going to argue YOURopinion, the reviewer's opinions nor those who voted in that poll. You want me to argue that your favourite colour should be red because 51% if the world's population favours that colour over blue?:lol:

All I needed to do is express my opinion and so I had, wether or not you or anyone else chooses to agree with said opinion is up to your or them.

1- Okey maybe my example was wrong, I'll make an example of visuals ok, if someone watchs somebody who is dead and literally every peice of his body is being torn and he said "it is the most beatiful thing that I've ever seen", is he wrong or right?

2- Becuase I believe they are wrong and I love to debate.

3- Where are they? all I see is totally hate on the game and no intelligence debate.

4- Im not saying they are the law, all Im saying they are two of the most respected sites ( you agree on that ) who agree with my opinion and almost other 200 users opinions in SW.

5- Obviously the title of the thread is "MGS4 graphics = not that great" so we are talking about MGS4 and 200 people disagree with the TC so I don't see where Im wrong with this, when Im saying the majority disagree I meant people who voted for MGS4 and they are also a majority, he didn't bring Uncharted in this topic, and I believe that the people that voted for Uncharted also disagree with the TC, voting for Uncharted doesn't mean the MGS4 graphics are not that great.

6- You are criticising me for my opinion and what did I bring with my opinion and you didn't bring anything useful so far to debate about the MGS4 graphics or Gears.

7- Then why wasting my time and yours for nothing?

Two things, bring me some evidence of you playing both games and talk about MGS4 all you want, if you don't then thats my last respond to you.

1. That has to be the most morbid, disturbing and even unrelated example I've seen during the time I've spent on this board...it is quite clear that you what I'm typing goes into one end of your eye and comes out the other.Your example could be looked upon objectively or even humanly..However, some do enjoy splatter movies going as far as calling them art, ergo beautiful, how bizarre as that may sound! :o

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103873/

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0296042/

2. You yourself asked how you possibly could engage in a debate which such an individual :|

"If all they say "it is my own opinion" and "your opinion doesn't matter", then how could I possibly debate with such a silly individual."

3. There are quite a few posts here where some explain why they think MGS 4's visuals are not as impressive as some outlets have described. http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=26475313&page=0

4. And about 250 of those who voted in that poll

5. Not that great. He seems the be referring to the hype in his original post. The hype that has emerged from phrases such as "Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the most technically stunning video game ever made."

or

"As a result, players are witnesses to one of the finest games ever created on any console or PC."

They're talking about MGS 4 here, and the fact that 150 individuals thought different (perceived Uncharted to be a better looking game) renders that 150 individuals belive just that, that MGS 4 doesn't look that (the most technically stunning video game ever made.) great. According to what you have said earlier, that would mean that those who voted for Uncharted are hereby blind, something that I couldn't disagree more with.

6. Err..no..I'm criticizing you for taking a the two opinions of two separate sources, and the opinions of a batch of voters in a poll and with your original post stating the opionions as if they were a fact, which is a clear insult for those who think otherwise; you're indirectly calling them blind because they don't agree.

7. I'm defending my right to have an opinion due to the fact that you've explicitly calling it faulty simply because it disagrees with the opinions of a few others...I have yet to even describe my opinion towards the visuals in a post directed to you.

MGS4 level design was much better than Gears of War. I am looking forward to more variety and more light in Gears of War 2.

MGS4 is the best looking game on any console as of right now .

WeAreBorn

Gears > MGS4, graphics, imo.

Graphics wise I think MGS4 looks better then gears. Gears 2 though looks better then MGS4. And we already know MGS4 is a better all around game then gears period. Gears 2 may be better gameplay wise and more fun but it better be strong in every area this time if it wants to reclaim GOTY this time around beause we already know MGS4 is.

No, fanboy. Gears is much better, imo.

MGS4 10

Gears of war 9.7

Yeah ok.

Only a fanboy desperately holds onto an old game for ownage. MGS4's 5 acts of amazing variety and smart gameplay put gears 10 hours of "pop n stop" to shame. Hey..hide behind cover..shoot. Hide behind cover...shoot. I mean damn I loved gears but give it a rest. What are you so threatened by? Gears has been surpassed graphically. Its done. Move on. And why do I get the feeling you've never played MGS4. No one whose played it would talk crap about its graphics. The immersive nature of the game is unbelievable. If your counting textures...you must be playing gears cause MGS4 has you caring about other things.

If you use GameSpot to know the quality of a game, you're sad. Gamerankings is a much fair comparison, there Gears of War > MGS 4, OK, you can keep crying.

Bread_or_Decide;

1) I have played Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

2) I have never said that Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots' graphics are dull or bad.

3) I have said that its graphics are awesome.

4) Gears of War's graphics, in my opinion, are better.

5) And there is nothing that is going to change me mind. I have played both games on a very, very good TV and I know which one is the best.

6) Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots' graphics are very good, but Gears of War's Are Better, in my opinion. And nothing is going to change it, so quit embarrasing yourself like saying that I've said that MGS 4's graphics suck.

Then what the frack are you doing in this thread? You just want to argue for no reason. Your opinions are your own.

But don't believe for a second their isn't such a thing as a wrong opinion. Graphically gears is already in the stone age compared to what everyone else is doing now. Two years old can be a lifetime tech wise.

Personaly, I think that MGS4 is one of the best looking console games to date, along with Uncharted: Drakes Fortune and Gears Of War.

And please don't call me a fanboy for saying that, I have owned all three next gen consoles and got rid of the 360 because of the problems I had with it.

Well I never even thought or would have thought that mgs4 graphics were going to be great prior to playing it after seeing screen shots of the game. And I think most would say this aswell. But it is a true testiment of what kind of graphics it does have when thread upon threads try to counter it or boast about them. Or even countless reviews praising the graphics in mgs4.

People need to move on cause mgs4 is a complete package, that is truly epic with a great story, great graphics, great gameplay, great replay value, great atmosphere, great characters, great cutscenes, great action and action scenes. But I guess some need to talk about textures to try to bring it down and such. Have at it, if that truly makes you feel better :)

I personally think it's the best looking game on consoles. However, I can understand why everybody doesn't agree with that. Unlike Uncharted or GeOW, everything isn't super normal-mapped in MGS4. Rather the game really goes for photo-realism. Sure GeOW and Uncharted are hyper-detailed but you'd never mistake them for reality. Like COD4, I think MGS4 sacrifices detail for realism (although, the textures really are top-notch). And of course all of this has as much to do with artistic choices made by the development team as it does with the technical prowess of the game.

Then what the frack are you doing in this thread? You just want to argue for no reason. Your opinions are your own.

But don't believe for a second their isn't such a thing as a wrong opinion. Graphically gears is already in the stone age compared to what everyone else is doing now. Two years old can be a lifetime tech wise.

WeAreBorn

discussing, like all the other people

You said you think MGS4 looks great.

You think gears looks better.

What is there to discuss? What you are doing is arguing...and its pointless if you LIKE MGS4. If you like both who friggin cares?

no, seriously, i say it, but when some appear to attack me, it becomes a big discussion. besides, i am not the only 1 dischussing. oh well

Right now I'm playing No More Heroes. We should be discussing how a game with a HUD like that can get a 9.0.

Not putting down amazing games like MGS4 or pitting it against every other game in existence.

well at least these reviewers know that graphics is not just textures and lighting.

gears has better textures

mgs has better animation, frame rate, character models, lighting, larger invirments

so unless you consider that textures is what graphics is all about

mgs 4>>>>gears

people saying i believe my eyes not gamespot only see textures.

Indeed. The worst part of it all, MGS4 has textures from 2-3 years ago.

The graphics in MGS4 are amazing and I think the best to date on a console. I have all three consoles so I dont care what system it is on. I just dont see how people can say the game looks like crap. I was one of the biggest GEARS fanboys when I was into that game, but lets face it its 2 yrs old. The crown has moved on. Gears 2 has a good chance of getting it back.

Bioshock, I see you bash MGS4 in almost tread there is about it. For someone that claims to be non biased you sure do bash games on the ps3 ALOT.

This seems to be the case with most Japanese developed games. DMC4, NGII, and others seem to prefer that more "anime" smoothness as opposed to western games which want to have the characters and environments look more realistic. Could be a design choice, because clearly the environments in MGS4 are so rich and detailed this texture debate doesn't ring true when your playing the game. Not to mention Snakes camo suit picks up every possible part of the environment so perfectly I don't see how that doesn't put this texture crap to bed.

Picking on MGS4's one weakest aspect is like trying to laugh at Stephen Hawking for a single grammar mistake.

From all the hype, I thought MGS4's graphics would be beyond anything yet seen on a console. Boy was I underwhelmed. The PS3's lack of Video RAM strikes again, with horrible, blurry textures giving everything a flat appearance, and lack of HDR lighting making everything appear quite dull.

I will say the game's special effects, character models and art direction are quite good. But anyone who says it looks better than the average UE3 360 game (eg. Gears of War, Mass Effect, etc.) needs their eyes checked.

Teufelhuhn



Umm...there's HDR. And if blurry textures made a game look bad, nobody would be saying that Gears of War or Halo 3 looks good (both of which don't even use trilinear filtering).

If there is HDR, I didn't see it. Not trying to be argumentative (I'm always going to defer to you wrt. graphics issues) but I'm just calling it as I saw it, and what I saw were flat, blurry surfaces and a distinct lack of contrast between highlights and shadows. The screens people have posted in this thread are perfect examples, IMHO.

I went through much of Gears with my jaw on the floor, staring at the pretty graphics (especially in Act 3.) I'm going through MGS 4 thinking "this actually looks kinda wack."

well considering the absurd amount of tecnical aspects running throughout the game, i would say mgs4 has outstanding graphics. tons of dynamic AI going on, amazing amount of detail, and exceptional amounts of gameplay mechanics (the controls, the method at which you proceed through the game etc.), the customization aspects, the octamo suit etc.... if this game was as simple as uncharted, the graphics would have demolished uncharted.

i totally agree with your statements, but you must agree, knowing kojima has stated many times that he stressed he dev team to play american games and learn from them as much as possible instead of just japanese ones, and you can tell that the final mgs4 product definitely delivers far beyond anything else i've seen come out of japan. and dude the textures arent bad at all, i found them to be much better than cod4's textures. expecially the ground (have you seen the mud surface on slaughter house on mgo, that looks amazing)

Hmm I'll have to put in cod4 again but I swore that game had no textures lol. And I would definitly say it didn't have any compared to mgs4. But would someone please confirm how close UTIII is to gears. Cause if it is close then I find it funny that no one from the ps3 side ever brings it up as a graphical power house. I have it and I really wouldn't ever bring it up in any of these discussions. But if anyone has UTIII and Gears please let me know how close they are to each other.

MGS4 is the best looking game on any console as of right now .

Gears > MGS4, graphics, imo.

Graphics wise I think MGS4 looks better then gears. Gears 2 though looks better then MGS4. And we already know MGS4 is a better all around game then gears period. Gears 2 may be better gameplay wise and more fun but it better be strong in every area this time if it wants to reclaim GOTY this time around beause we already know MGS4 is.

No, fanboy. Gears is much better, imo.

MGS4 10

Gears of war 9.7

Yeah ok.

If you use GameSpot to know the quality of a game, you're sad. Gamerankings is a much fair comparison, there Gears of War > MGS 4, OK, you can keep crying.

ROFLMAO and u act like gamespot is the only game site that gave MGS4 a perfect score. How bout I shut u up with a list of more then 100 reviewers who agree with gamespot?
