The way I see it is how realistic the game's graphics are. In Gears you can totally tell that it's a video game, there's not one moment where it doesn't look like a videogame whereas with MGS4 (and I'm sure most people who have played the game would agree with me) there are actually times where it looks as though the scene was from a hollywood movie. That's my view on it with graphics but it seems that most people are going by a technical response with this one so I guess I'll go with gears? I mean there's seriously no game that has the prowess of MGS's physics system along with great graphics, it just feels so life like and fluent when you play the game but again if your talking about sheer graphical horsepower behind the graphics but not the graphics themself then it's Gears for me.

If that's the case then RE5 is the best looking console game EVER. It's the only game I can play infront of Family members and they literally sit next to me and watch thinking it's a movie. Then they notice things like Square popping up on screen a few times and finally decide to look at my hands and say "Wait, this a video game?? Thought you were watching a movie". I can't blame them, the detail on Chris is AMAZING, and when you're not looking to closely the scenery is pretty well done, especially when you spend most of the time running for your life and shooting, a spectator wouldn't notice any poor details.

I know, that's exactly what I mean. All I'm trying to do is put my own variation of response to the considered comparison. I think Gears vs KZ / MGS vs RE5 would have been a smarter comparison since they share more common graphical paths if you will.

Yea, I see your point.

mgs4 is better looking though....

Next round, we have Spyro The Dragon up against Killzone2.... looks like Spyro wins because people voted for it

So, now this is funny. It is clear enough that users like you can't participate in a civilized conversation even if there are different opinions and views.

Even in this thread alone, there are enough screens that make people understand. Now, you 're trying to make them all feel blind?

And please don't come up with the vote thing, ESPECIALLY in this site. Votings here have concluded to the most hilarious and peculiar results.

So, please do us the favor. You make the rest of the MGS4 Graphics supporters look dummy.

Crysis has 10 times better physics and also better graphics than MGS4.

Gears 2! But I hate it's fire effects. They look fugly... Other than that I bow down to it.

Although... KZ2 vs GeOW 2 and RE5 vs GeOW 2 IS another thing. :)

Gears 2 is more consistent. The earlier levels of MGS4 don't look as good but later in certain parts, it matches or beats Gears 2. I'll say Gears 2 for now but I'm replaying MGS4 soon, could change my mind.
