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?
I don't remember the drive through lush forest being gray in the slightest. Also, what about MotorStorm? Did it not have phenominal, if not flawless graphics?
Not flawless by any means but it certainly looked good. I assume you're talking about Pacific Rift?
I think that both the original and Pacific Rift looked better personally. I never saw any jarring technical issues with the graphics in either title, although it would be easier to miss them in a racing game.
Man you're sort of.. I mean When I think about it, you're right. But then again, racing games don't get much love. I'll pop in Pacific rift right now. Started to miss it after you mentioned it xD. It looks really really good.
I have to say it, Snake's character model was hardly movie quality. In the third screen shot on page 4 his shoulder looks incredibly blocky. His face looks great but the polygon count on the rest of his model isn't very high.

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:

Don't know man, maybe my love has blinded me xP. Check out this video though (set to 720p and start at 3:55 to as far as you'd like). I don't know, I honestly feel it looks good xP:
Gotta comment again. Jesus, when I watch this, It is like THIS was the game that ..started the gen for me. I mean I love cinematic games and no, I stand on my same statement. What MGS4 did, and the way it did it blew me away and till' this day; I feel it was the greatest visually and technically on consoles in 2008.

I started at 3:55; 4:01: Liquid's jacket casts low res shadow; 4:04 Solid's extremely blocky shoulder comes into full view; 4:05 Liquid's name tag looks appalling; 4:18 the shadows on the pole are completely broken; 4:37 Liquids hair clips down into his jacket. You know what, console games look like garbage and critiquing them is like nitpicking a loaf of stale bread :/
