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. |
Granted resolution isn't the only factor to judge a games technical merits by but I just couldn't help but notice how bland and flat the environment textures looked. I think most of the effort went into the character models because they do look stunning. Also Gears 2 was a smoother experience. MGS4 had an uncapped framerate which could be quite jarring. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
