As many of you know, Konami is hard at work on a new graphics engine for Rising, which they claim will look better than MGS4. But how is this possible when MGS4 was pushing 50gb and was only possible on the PS3. Yes, I know about compression, but even then the game would require 4-5 disks to run on the 360 or PC. How can they possibly make a graphics engine that will look better than the engine of MGS4, knowing the fact that they will not be able to push the PS3's blu-ray capabilities to its limits due to the fact that they will have to compensate for the 360 and PC. Are they going to do what Ubisoft did with the previous generation Splinter Cell games, where they made amazing versions for the Xbox and PC but a mediocore version for the PS2 due to its limitations? Will the PS3 version end up looking better?

To answer the thread title in 3 words

"More efficient code"

Or sorry, were you simply trying to troll? I apologise, and I agree. The 360 is evil and possibly a nazi sympathiser.

they building a engine with both PS3 and 360 on mine to push both graphically.....Kojima said " ill be damned if I get held back by limitations, gimme lemons and me snake have lemonade"

As a huge (as in Metal Gear fan since the late 80's) fan, I didn't find MGS4's graphics as mindblowing as you apparently did.

^ me either they wree good, but no wow factor

Easy, they make a graphics engine that is compatiable with the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 ini mind. We all know Kojima made MGS4 with Blu-ray in mind. But with him releasing this version of MGS on multi-platforms and new graphics engine is needed.

And after playing MGS4 for about 3 weeks, the graphics in that game is not mind blowing, they were good but nothing like "oh my gosh" type. I've seen better!

the MGS4 engine was probably one of the poorest and sloppiest game engines among "the big games", so writing a better engine would be possible.

time will tell.

Because Uncharted looked better than MGS4 2 years ago?

@Kantor

I can certainly agree and say Uncharted has better graphics then MGS4. The lighting engine in that game was truly a spectualar sight!
