Gears 2 is gorgeous. But I went back and played MGS4 and I think it really deserved the graphics award. Both of these vids showcase what the games are capable of.

(MGS) http://www.gametrailers.com/player/35069.html (I hope this is gameplay)

(Gears) http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/18776

Visually, both are incredible console games, but I think MGS4 takes the cake, barely. Please don't complain about the difference in size of the vids, I can't even play HD vids so I'm trying to get proper demonstrations without being able to see them. If you can do better, please do it.

I hate to say this, but I thought Gears of War 2 was more impressive. I'm just a sucker for the texutres and lighting.

Because I really really really liked MGS4. Its whole cinematic approach was just incredible. It also had amazing graphics and atmosphere that Gears 2 lacked. Its a touch choice, but I still think the character models, textures and lighting were better in Gears 2.

you obviously haven't played MGS4 then if you think the enviornments are bland. either way MGS4 win too imo. i think people are just fixating on textures and lighting now a days for some reason and don't give other elements their credit

People that think MGS4 has good graphics are obviously joking

All i see is some of the worst visuals this generation, easilly

What is so good about it ? The empty looking levels, the lower than 720p resolution, maybe the mediocre lighting or the horrid textures ? Or maybe 4-5 enemies in screen ? Lair does 100.000 at least

MGS4 in game visuals are a joke. that is pretty much a fact

i love how before it got the award no cows even bothered trying to argue it was best graphics, because it wasn't. they always used uncharted, or KZ2.

i find it hilarious how things change when GS gives out ammo.

it is a joke that MGS4 got best technical. it was rendered sub-HD and upscaled, texture work was shoddy in many parts. presentation was great, but ffs.. nowhere near the best graphics of 2008.

Gears 2 beats MGS4 in most the things that make up graphics because MGS4 suffers from a low native resolution that isn't considered to be HD, below 30FPS average frame rate, low poly characters, low rez textures, doesn't support split screen, and several other things and this is after being forced to install the game serveral times. Overall MGS4 isn't very technically impressive.

Gears1 was the beginning of the "next-gen" for me :D Gears 2 is equally as superb looking but I think MGS4 has the better graphical package. It uses all the great effects and features.

LOL i love how these fanboys post pictures of MGS4 in SD shots... It's ok though if it makes y'all feel better... lol idiots...

My pics are true 720p HD, 1280x720, MGS4 is not even in that resolution, it is upscaled from a lower one

It is THAT pathetic visually actually

MGS4 has better graphics and physics than Gears 2. The 360 wouldn't be able to handle MGS4 graphics and physics because the hardware is not powerful enough.

lemmings really need to let go of the fact that MGS4 won best graphics of the year. i know that it wasnt as good as crysis but it beats gears 2 visually in my opinion anyway, and according to GS. and then these lemmings find some old, outdated SD screenshots and use it as "proof" that MGS4 has crap graphics. why not try playing the game on a HDTV on at least 720p resolution? oh wait i know why, cuz its on a PS3 right? is that why you guys are so bitter?

So you're saying devs purposely made bad looking games just so MGS4 could win the award? Sure ok then!

It also says a lot that Gears 2 can't even get on that list, even though the other games are "crap" as you put it ahaha

No doubt about it Gears 2 looked better, but MGS4 was a fun game, and it had a lot more replay-ability and features, but overall it's visuals were spectacular in some areas and rather drab in others, though Gears 2 was a "wow"-fest through-out.
