wow mgs 4 looks ugly!

i was in hmv today and there was a running gameplay footage demo of metal gear solid 4 running on their ps3 display. i stood and watched for a while and thought it was incredibly ugly! snake was based in a kind of sandy rundown concrete place and whenever anything moved it looked all blocky like it was back on ps1 (although slightly sharper of course). it may have been an intentional sandy effect but i thought it looked awful. the only redeeming feature i saw was snakes face which looked really good close up - especially the moustache - but i thought the rest of it looked really ugly. naturally i don't judge a game on its graphics but since the mgs games on ps2 were graphical marvels i was really hoping for something spectacular looking on ps3. it may have also just been a particularly graphically dull part of the game that i watched but i really hope konami make the graphics look better than i thought they lookedmy_name_is_ron

diaf plz mgs4 looks fantastic an will be the best lookin game on consoles by far when it comes out plz leave

Halo 3 is the ugliest shooter I've seen.

Seriously, is today opposite day? Everyone seems to be putting down games that look great.

[QUOTE="ZIMdoom"]I am now officially convinced. If there was a law passed where the only way you could bash Sony or the PS3 was to first jump off a building to your death - lemmings would do it. H3llstrike

While your incisive and thought provoking rebuttal has rocked the intelligencia to their core, I would just like to say that the amount of brain power i put into my posts is determined by the level displayed in the thread.

Why would I waste time and analysis in a thread where the tc is clearly desperately flailing for any excuse, made up or not, to bash the PS3?

If you dont judge a game on graphics why start a thread about one?

That's because the developers aren't idiots. They said it themselves that they aren't focusing on the graphics and are focusing on actually making the game better.sexy_chimp

Yup, that is what I recall reading awhile ago.

i don't believe i've judged this game at all since i never said the (seemingly) bad graphics would have any effect on the gameplay and i seem to also remember stating in one of my later posts in this thread that i would still be buying the game. i started this thread to express my disappointment in the state of the graphics and especially the textures. i downloaded the video off psn and it did look better on my tv but i thought the surroundings were still very plain and uninteresting, but i guess desert warzones aren't full of vibrant colour and flowers

you did actually say it didn't look as good, i bolded and underlined it in your previous post

[QUOTE="revolution2k6"]*looks at your sig* yup... your credible alright.my_name_is_ron

lol, classic system wars.

i'm actually telling you my thoughts on what i've seen. i'm still going to get the game and was hoping some users in the know could tell me why it looked so bad. obviously when i say looked bad it's all relative. it doesn't look like a ps1 game, it just reminds me of ps1 games when the people go all blocky when they move.

anyway, i#'m not trying to flamebait

This is a typical response in system wars after your credibility has been questioned. That like saying PS3 sucks but I have it but dont show proof. Or saying that you have this sweet sweet computer but only posting specs and not actual pics of your computer.

and why should i have to prove anything to you? i'm just expressing my opinions on the first gameplay video i've seen of this game. if i proved to you that i owned a ps3 would that make my comments that i don#t think mgs4's graphics are particularly mindblowing any more credible? i don't think so. whether i own a ps3 or not is irrelevant in this discussion
