The reviewer's opinion about what he thought technically impressive is a lot more than just the graphics per se, it includes this:

You'll spend a good half of MGS4 watching cinematics, but it would be a grave misinterpretation to assume that great gameplay takes a backseat to the story. Rather, these two elements are tightly intertwined, and this tapestry is held together by an important technical thread: Cutscenes that are rendered fully in real time within the game engine. It's impressive enough that these scenes look as good as any prerendered cinematic you've ever watched. It's even more amazing when those same scenes transition without pause into gameplay, and the same hulking mech you watched lumber about in the cinematic is looming above you. The subtle animations, the lush environments, and the rich textures are the same in and out of story sequences, and the effect is so seamless it may take your breath away.

i am quoting you because thats similar to what i wanted to say but you stated way better than what i would have.

[QUOTE="p4ddym"]Most of the screens didnt look that impressive. TBH MGS4 looks better than the Crysis you are showing in those images.Spybot_9

actually hes right, compared to those screens you posted.

Everyone has to start from scratch at some point.

why did you ruin your old account?

Admitted ive recently finished MGS4 so maybe im havn withdrawel symptoms from lack of cut scenes but i wish they flesh out the characters alot more.
