I suppose you mean unfair to SC:C.  I played the game and it is beautiful, but I have to say MGS4 takes the cake.

Yeah, my Uncharted avatar and MGS4 sig sure as hell indicates that I'm and 360 fanboy!

 

To answer many of your questions, even though MGS4 is 2 years older, it was technically ahead of so many other games at its time and even now, there are not many games that can hold a candle to it. My vote also goes to MGS4. The character models are some of the best I have seen in gaming and the subtle visual touches gives it the victory.



Well tough to say, I would still give the character models to MGS4, but wow I never realized how bad a lot of the texture work is in that game. The damn characters are so pretty you never notice. I went with Splinter Cell overall though, because I'm effin sick of gray color palattes! Gimme some damn color!

I've heard of getting the short end of the straw, but god that must suck for you guys. 

lol

 

We may have the short end of the straw here, but sure as hell dont have the short end on the FPS straw.

 

10 million straws and counting. Exclusively on Xbox 360 

 

:)

Call me slow, but what are you referring to lol?

-_-

 

What game sold more than 10 million units exclusively on 360? 

 

Drum roll please!!!!!!

 

Halo 3!!!!

 

And the half ass $60 expansion is almost at 5 million.

Oh man! I don't know whether you're being ultra-subtley sarcastic or whether you've blindly fallen in to the standard 360 Attack League tactic: Can't compete on the issue at hand (graphics in this case) so throw down Halo 3 sales where Halo 3 isn't even relevant for the topic.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're being very subtle in your sarcasm. In which case: LOL!!

Having said that there is an interesting correlation: if SC:C is the 360 version of UC2 from a graphics perspective, then in like manner MGS4 is the PS3 version of Halo 3 from a sales perspective. SC:C graphics don't measure up to UC2, but it's the best 360 has on offer at the moment (debateable??). MGS4 sales don't measure up to Halo 3, but it's the best PS3's got at the moment.

I haven't seen SC:C in action so I can't venture a direct opinion on how it compares to either MGS4 or UC2. The only thing I can ask is whether the OP is comparing SC:C to MGS4 because SC:C falls well short of UC2 (and GoWIII), or because the OP thinks MGS4 still reigns supreme for graphics on PS3?

At the end of the day if you're graphic whoring you've got to be clear about the context.  I'm not even sure where the OP thinks SC:C sits on the 360 only graphics scale. Is it better than ME2 & Gears 2 for instance? Is it really the best the 360 has right now?

He never said he was talking about Graphics and why does it bother you so much that Halo 3 shits on any FPS or even TPS on the other HD console's (yes i included PC just for teh lulz)

Splinter Cell has good graphics, there is actually detail in the game. Most games these days are just shiny.

Let me just say, the hole console graphics king is all opinion.

I'm comparing the two because I think it's a good matchup even though MGS4 is two years older. These two games are always compared to each other mainly because they are the two stealth giants in the industry and comparing their graphics just makes sense.

And as for graphical supremacy on the 360, I think that Gears 2 still owns that crown (sinking cities FTW!). Actually, ME2 also looks really sexy; both games are the best looking 360 games right now.



MGS4 looks better and still have better gameplay. It's my opinion and I don't need to play SCC to change my mind.



Thanks for spelling it out for these guys, CGI
