I being a pc guy own none of the current gen consoles except the wii (because it, unlike 360 and ps3 can do things my pc can't) but all fanboyism aside, what do you guys think takes the cake as the best looking console game out right now? (sorry I can't make polls)

Look at the screens of Motorstorm, they don't even hold a candle to Gears.

Im gonna say Motorstrom just because things that arent suppssed to be shiny, arent shiny. Seriously Epic, WTF is with the shiny crap? even the rubble and dirt is shiny in GeOW.

Is there anyone here who has played both and can make an objective analysis? If not, don't be quick to judge. I know that I can't.

Really hard to compare the two. Whereas Gears practically demands to stop to look around, and admire everything, Motostorm is a game that really must be seen in motion to be appreciated. Motion blur is used very well to hide the low res textures on less important items, and the mud/deformable terrain is pretty cool. I prefer Gears, but that's my preference, not my ambiguous fact.

Not only does Gears look better, it is a better game overall.

I understand that Motorstorm is the "talk of the hour" right now, but don't compare a merely "good but forgettable" game to one that will be remembered for years and years to come. Only in the minds of the die-hard fanboys does Motorstorm even begin to compare. Motostorm looks great, yes... not quite as good as Gears though (and as a game it doesn't even begin to compare.) This is coming from a complete non-fanboy, someone who doesn't give a damn about brand names, only good games.

Please, a ridiculous comparison.

Sony fanboys, you need to learn to pick and choose your battles.

The PS3 will have fantastic library one day, there's no doubt about it. You just need patience.

It hasn't happened yet... but it will. Don't be so blinded to all other brand names, that way you can enjoy all the fantastic games in the meantime and when the excellent games hit the PS3 you'll eat those up too. Honestly, I don't give a rat's ass if a superb game is on a Nintendo platform, a Microsoft platform, or a Sony platform.... if that's the way you play then you'll always have fun - there will always be something amazing to play.

That doesn't mean anything. Standards are dependant on how a game compares to games on that system, not other systems. A "Graphics: 10" on the PS2 does not beat out a "Graphics: 9" on the "Graphics: *insert 360 or PS3 here*."

That being said, Gears currently looks and plays better. The only reason they're being compared is because Motorstorm is the talk of the hour.

PS3 will get its share. It just takes time.

The forum has no patience. A year from now none of the threads you are reading or have read will matter.... Hell, that holds true for a week from now.

Motorstorm has a pile of dirt with nice looking vehicles. Vehicles are quite easy to appear realistic as is dirt. Gears is many times more complex and detailed.

You forgot "Horrible forum," that would be the truest of all three statements.

I actually disagree. System Wars is an awesome forum.

Not the greatest compairson but only way to compair a racer to a FPS is with the car.  Was hard to find a MS shot without blur.  Anyway best I could get.
