Yeah Gears 2 was a great improvement but when Gears 1 first released it was the best graphics on consoles. When Gears 2 released it wasn't near the best graphics on consoles. In games like Uncharted 2 or MGS4 or others there are times when you could swear this was real life; as if the characters are actually living and breathing. MGS4 isn't as consistant with its graphics but in act 4 there are moments where the game just looks better than anyhting out there.


Bit in bold. Gears 2 was released in 2008. Which game on console had better graphics in 2008? You claim it wasn't anywhere near, I think it was one the best graphics for console by 2008. IMO the only game that looked better then either Gears by 2008 was Uncharted 1. No point mentioning Uncharted 2, that was released a year after Gears 2. You say MGS4 but I have to disagree. MGS4 only had detailed characters but everything else was pretty bland. Heck it's even sub-hd. Even Hideo Kojima was dissapointed by them (he was still getting used to the PS3 architecture).

So back to the original question...which games were better looking than Gears 2 by Nov 2008?

Wait, what? MGS4 looked bland in comparison to Gears of War 2? Even when it's sub-HD (which, mind you, I'm already aware of), it looked quite better than Gears of War 2 in my eyes. The ONLY places where I see a legitamite complaint about MGS4's graphics is some shadows and the textures of the South America level. But otherwise, MGS4 was the game that wowed me the most by console graphics standards in 2008.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!
