Everyone here is talking about how MGS4 was the graphics king of 08, but no one is even mentioning GTA IV or Gears of War 2.
I mentioned GTA and it looks good but it doesn't have better graphics than MGS4. Gears 2 I don't think looks like graphics king material. It just looked so...gray?
nothing against mgs but talking about the colorless gow2 is funny defending a mgs game with this. i mean for me mgs is nothing more than always green, or always green-brown just look at all posted pictures one site before. they are all only green (or yellow). not much color there.
I take it you have played the game though?
Act 1 = grey-green Act 2 = green jungles Act 3 = yellow, streets Act 4 = white as hell, snow, metal-ish Act 5 = Metal, amazing view on Outer haven, through halls etc.
The images on MGS4 does sell it as .. very.. bleh in my opinion. But when I think about MGS4, I do NOT associate it with those images xD.
Also, I tried to look for some Pacific Rift videos, the textures aren't sharp unfortunately. Then again I've been playing so much UC3. You be the judge:
i can post you some picture of my street and you will know what i mean. or ohh use your own window...
