Half-life 2 looks better than MGS4? (56k)

See for yourself (I used Lost Coast because its a relatively newer version of the Source Engine)

MGS4 is the greatest looking console game.

lame MGS4 screens compared to best HL2 screens? yup great comparison right theremingo123

I took screenshots from the first page of Gamespot's album. I didn't hand select them at all. The fact that I could find MGS4 screenshots this terrible proves that it isn't the graphics king by any means.

Oh wow, not only are those pics not in HD.. but they're blurred.

if that guy was serious, then this is deffo one of the greatest selfownage of all time

In lighting, HL2 dominates MGS4 completely.lockjaw333

And textures and shaders. Half-life 2 is a technical wonder.

GS has the worst screenshot quality onn teh web

It wouldn't matter even if that were true, because Metal Gear Solid IV is one hundred times better than Half-Life 2.

Hell, the first one that came out in freaking 1998 is better than every Half-Life game ever created. I still LOVE Half-Life and Valve. I'm just stating the way it is.

Better textures,better facial animations and better lighting.....shall I go on?

A 2004 game beats the Messiah in graphics LMAO. :lol:

Here you go, TC

Come on now, you know that that is the standard way to "compare" two things. I am surprised contrast isn't blown out on the MGS pics as well for that added drama.

Those are cutscenes!

I still don't think MGS4 graphically is anything to write home about. Its more about the art style and cinematic nature of the game. The graphics themselves, technically, aren't near the top tier games in graphics. That's not to say its a bad game....I mean god forbid we challenge the graphical prowess of Kojima's mighty masterpiece. The graphics aren't phenomenal. Deal with it fanboys, its still a great game.lockjaw333

I dont think youve played the whole game :(

I've played both and yeah, HL2 on the PC does look a tad better than MGS4.

:lol: Kojima uses only one engine for the cutscene AND gameplay. Also, if you played the game, you would've seen how nicely the game moves from cutscene to gameplay.

lol while i agree that MGS4 looks much better in motion/those screenshots posted, the gameplay is not the level of the cutscenes. Then again, many games aren't. Simple fact, the detail is jacked in cutscenes.

Well..to be honest that MGS4 level does look very weak, like something straight from 2004, but overall ,no MGS4 looks better, a lot better.

HL2 is holding up surprisingly well though

Then post gameplay shots to prove your statement. :| Cutscenes won't convince anyone.

most if not all 3d rendered engines only have one engine lol. Cutscenes feature little to no LOD system, and usually higher geometry counts/texture resolution. It's the nature of a highly scripted event with little A.I or surrounding events that would take CPU/GPU cycles in game.
