Sorry but MGS4 never had the best graphics for a console game. Many of the textures were so low res they were down right ugly.


in 2008, the only console game that i can think of that had better graphics was Uncharted 1


I'd say at least 10% of the console games on the market in 2008 looked better than this:

@Dr.Grass

 

Thanks for reminding me of the extremely poor light rendering. How on Earth do I forget shadows that look like they could cut you?

it did win most of the graphics of the year award.

yeah it had its flaws, but i could just as easily post pictures of it looking better than 99.9% of games out there now. you can always find images that make it look crappy.

im not saying it looks near the best by todays standards, but in 2008 not many, if any games looked better than it. like i said Uncahrted Drake's Fortune is the only one i can think of.


Video game journalism is an utter joke, the awards it recieved are meaningless. That being said, I don't feel like providing laundry lists of games that look better than MGS4 but I will list one, Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction.

 

@pezus

lol at screen shot 3, the low res shadows and textures look terrible. As it is we can get a glimpse but if viewed from a slightly different angle it would be impossible to ignore the muddle textures on the metal beams to the right.

Video game journalism is sort of.. kinda' what the topic is about :<.

From a technical standpoint though, MGS4 did some pretty nifty stuff. Bike scene, Metal gears omg xD and fairly big levels when compared to todays uber linear ones. Yes its not perfect, far from it, but in 2008; I and I seem to not be alone, think it was the best.
