my point is medium to high settings is the way most people play the game anyway, so what would be so different?

Crysis is significantly better in several areas, not least of which is outright graphics.

One thing that struck me as funny about MGS is how bad most of the facial animations are. Some of them even appear to be synched to a japanese track - the lip movements are just that out of synch.

The game is also incredibly linear, so spaces are confined and where the player can go is limited, often in the most obvious way possible. On the other hand Crysis gives a lot of leeway and allows you to go all over the place, in addition to shooting down trees and the like.

Where you consistently see the best graphics in MGS are the cutscenes, but thos should be taken with a heaping grain of salt. I've noticed considerable macroblocking and posterization in several of them, which means that their actually pre-rendered videos (probably why the game needs a 50gb BR). Now these cutscenes do use in-game assets, although I think they may be using better character models. Also keep in mind that all the environments seen in them were babied, unlike the rest of the game which can look pretty shoddy and half-assed in parts. But most significant is how much action and effects are present in many of the cutscenes. Based on frame-rate drops I've experienced with a moderate amount of action on screen there is just no way the game engine could pull those things off in real time. Also, there are some effects that are only present in cutscenes.

yup this is some funny shit you guys are hilarious

 Then you are off topic, this thread is about the Visuals of two games, Crysis eventually will be played on very high by almost every semi-decent setup, MGS4 will no go any further, still, there is no small gap or anything, Crysis shows the best graphics out there rigth now, so I still can't see your point...

 Benchmarks

That proves that the clock speed of the cell is about 1.6ghz if you compare it to another cpu that runs in order. I also never said that it equaled the xenos. Its significantly better in than the xenos in many things, but games aren't one of them. Its just a little bit better in that area. 

 bolded part will probably not be true.

 And  you came to that conclusion how?

Crysis grahpics sucks compared to this.

 GO back a look for the pic of sc94597, it says 900 mb (Rounded) of ram used by the game (Is not counting vram), so how much ram does the 360 and the PS3 have??
