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.
