A 10 in graphics? What kind of bullshit is that, isn't even 720p.


This is whats wrong with graphics. People think it's all about rendering resolution etc. It's not. Amount of enemies onscreen, detail of textures, effects and draw distance are all more important to me. IMO They make a game look much more appealing than sacrificing those for higher res and AA.

Agree with this times a million, what a fucking joke. Modern Warfare 2 looks great, there's no doubt about that, but it is NOT a fucking 10. There are several PS3 exclusives that crap all over it, and even more PC exclusives.

 

Wanna know how ridiculous that 10 is? Killzone 2 got a 9.5 from IGN for graphics.

 

The review system needs an overhaul, some sites do it right, but too many, IGN included, fail hard.

Comparing PC games to PS3 games is unfair.  The rest of your argument may or may not be valid as i haven't seen MW2.

That never seems to be a problem when people review Wii games.

Giving the game a 10 for its visuals is absolutely b.s. Considering that its a multiplatform.

Graphics should be somewhere between 9.1 - 9.3.


I couldn't care less for a game being multi or exclusive. Plenty of Multi games look up there as good as exclsuives. People dont want to say it though because it means the other system is as good graphically. I think that is sad.

From what I saw of MW2 last night it is alot better than Cod 4 1. And is one of the best games so far this gen. Well done Infanty Ward. Game looks fantastic.

Why is that whenever something becomes mega popular everyone starts hating on it?

 

The hating is on the review, not the game.

 

So the game has iffy graphics and isn't even 720p...so what.   However saying these quality of graphics is a perfect 10...bullshit.

Have you actualy played it yet? if not how the fcuk would you know ANYTHING about the game or graphics.....

The game looks and plays amazingly, by far my favorite game of the generation, play it and you will see why, and yup, graphics are easily a 10, its cod 4 on steriods.

People have complained that Killzone 2 got 9.5 for graphics on IGN and COD4 MW 2 got 10. Well they arent the only ones who thought MW2 was better. GameTrailers review said the only game they played with equal or better was Uncharted 2 visually. That says alot. Who cares if it's multiplat, and who cares if it means the PS3 isn't the all powerful machine you were lead to believe. Be happy it looks fantastic. It feels much more like war than KZ2 partly due to visuals.

The need to nitpick at it, to make sure it justifies its place at being popular.  Halo fits into that also.

I think the graphics are fine. If they had 4 years to develop the graphics to hell and back things may have been different. But the way things stand they didn't have the time, and did a wonderful job in 2 years. IMO!

Side note ( there were over 400 people in line at my gamestop last night and 90% were getting the 360 version). It took over an hour and 45 minutes for me to make my way through the doors to get my copy and there were probably 100 people behind me. I was pissed at those slow poke workers. LOL.

But they did have 4 years to work on the engine..

Do we want to separate art direction from tech specs as far as graphics?  I find it absurd that KZ2 would get less of a score than MW2, based on what they did with KZ2 technically.  Maybe you ding on art direction, but that is different.
