I thought PS3 was supposed to be the most powerful console this gen. Just look at these textures:

Last gen textures? What happened to PS3 being a supercomputer?

Least it takes up 50GB and has an epic amount of cut scene.

MGS4 is strong graphically, but it isn't breaking any new ground. The most impressive thing about the engine is its ability to keep everything smooth when there's a lot going on.

Cows like you are the ones who go around saying "Uncharted haz teh best GRAPHICS!!!" "PS3 can produzes more power than anything!!" But of course when one of your favourite games looks like this you go "Oh graphics don't matter".

The graphics on MGS4 are sick as hell and even though the textures are kinda sloppy who would even notice while playing a great game like this,i mean when playing it most people are gonna be way into to the game to actually stop and pay attention to the textures.

Did anyone ever expect MGS4 to be the most graphically advanced game? if anything thought so, they were kidding themselves, the game has too much other stuff going on to worry about graphics as much as others do.

Man you couldnt be more wrong... Surey i care about graphics but you should get back from lemmingsland, reality is a different story... MGSIV is not just a favorite game to me, its to many others too... also its important to note that MGS is the best series ever made...

Also you mentioned Uncharted, which is the best looking game on any console (currently) so you should know better if you werent such a PS3 hater that PS3 is capable of better graphics than those pics you posted in your thread...

as i said enjoy watching pictures while I'll enjoy the best game this year... (THE BEST GAME)

Lemmings remember that jealousy is an ungly beast !!! oohh and also do note that personally i find MGSIV looking great, may not be the powerhouse in graphics but it looks good and from gameplay footages runs smoothly..

i've always thought the graphics in the game look bland and unexciting. i'm hoping that it'll come to life when the game's in motion. as for 'is this the best the ps3 can do?' no, uncharted and gran turismo is the current best that the ps3 can do

About 2/3 of the game is gameplay and 1/3 is cutscenes/watching. Wasn't it said to be about 25-30 hours to finish.. Thats about maybe 18 hours of gameplay average maybe. 18 hours is as long if not longer than a lot of games out right now regardless of which system (GeoW, Halo3, Uncharted, COD4, HS just to name a few). I can probably safely assume that most people who get MGS4 will have fun watching the best cutscenes of the year and play one of the best games of the year.

Dude u are speaking way too soon man. I agree the graphics aint the best we have seen thus far but to say the graphics arent good with out the game being even out yet is just dumb. Im not expecting the best graphics from MGS4 but I know the game will look good enough and will be awesome. Here are 2 screens from some crappy scans of the game but it still looks pretty good.

Damn just wait until the game comes out and ill get back to u with some screen shots that will blow u away. Anyways this game should be awesome and cant wait to finish snakes last mission because I know when it is all said and done this will be one of the greatest games of all time. :)

Oh, I see whay you did there... you almost had me for a second. This game will be amazing and I can guarantee those screens are nowhere near indicative of what the textures will look like.

Cherry picking screen. Most of them old as the hills to. I can cherry pick screen from practically any game to make it look bad.

[QUOTE="sts106mat"]enjoy watching the best cutscenes of the year, while i play games. sts106mat

well you can play the AAAAA title NG2 which was stated by lemmings as the Anti MGSIV in june... too bad its not graphically that superior to NGS and has apperantly framerate issue + no story at all + no online i guess...

i'll enjoy my cutscenes along the hours of gameplay and intriguing story + online hours of fun in MGSIV / MGO !!

NG2? its not my type of game, i wouldn't buy it if were £20.00. enjoy MGS4 if you want, i dont care.

but the thread title is "mgs4 looks awful" which from those pics it does. the question i ask is why would they release such garbage screenshots, if the rest of the game was outstanding?

Well the thread showed some pics for MGSIV which i do agree they dont look that great visually... there is no denying that... but tc used the worst pics he could find to bash MGSIV & the PS3... personally this topic makes no sence at all, because i cannot get 2 -3 awfull shots of 1 game just to bash it, and bash the console on which its being released..

I know many haters use stupid reasons as tools to bash things but most of the time (am not referring specifically to the guy who created this thread, but in general) threads in here end up being ridiculous..

you can personally guarantee that can you?sts106mat
Yes I can, bookmark this and we'll talk on June 12th. This is a Hideo Kijima game, and as meticulous as he is I GUARANTEE you that the texture will not look as shoddy as those.

it is funny, when they thought they would get the game they hyped it to the heavens. now they cant get it they like to pretend that they are not missing anything.

I cant wait for this game! Its not the best looking game ever, but apparently it looks great in motion. and te story will be great. bring on the cutscenes!!!!!

Indeed textures are really low,aliasing is lacking too, but the character models are really high poly counts (good looking),but the enviroment still looks like crap.
