Giant Bomb GOTY Awards- Best Graphics

Giant Bomb Awards Metal Gear Solid 4 Best Graphics

[MasFlowKiller]

i really did, i mean Jeff Gerstmann is clearly bias in every way, shape and form so i though his bias would trickle down to his site, you know the Rupert Murdoch effect.

[tocrazed4you]

In fact they are rooting for the 360 just look at the game of the year nominees. BANJO FABLE 2 got up there over LBP.... they have nearly all the xbox 360 exclusives up there that got high reviews this year but where is resistance 2, and little big planet? No where to be found. Trust me they are bias, think about it. Ever since those guys left gamespot gamespot has shown more love for the ps3... Hope that last sentence made your mind click.

[callahan09]

I agree that there's something fishy going on if they nominated Banjo for game of the year but not LittleBigPlanet. That's just stupidity. And Braid doesn't deserve the nomination either. Was it an interesting idea and fun while it lasted? Sure. It was well-done, but it's short as hell and there's absolutely no reason to go back to it when you're finished. Resistance 2 on the other hand offers three times as much gameplay just in its campaign, on the first play through. Then, you can play through the campaign again on Superhuman to get a gold trophy, you can turn on "mirrored levels" to get a different campaign experience, you can play through it in the unlockable "arcade" mode. You can play hours upon hours of co-op and competitive, and level up MMO-style. The game is awesome, it's deep, and it lasts practically forever. To give a short game with little incentive to ever play it again like Braid the nomination and to snub Resistance 2 is just lame.

[Nathan Drake]

As expected,Metal Gear Solid 4:Guns of the Patriots,is the best looking videogame title of 2008.

[MURKERR]

goddamit lol, here ill sart you off..'id like to thank the ps3 community and'...

[MURKERR]

im not just talking GOTY awards which i think its 4 or 5, i mean subcatergories like this one aswell id love to know

[theEnemy]

what Engine did Kojima Productions used...

They should share it to other Sony 1st part devs. Or Sony should buy it.

[ultimolu]

One of the best games period. o.o

[Rock Bottom]

So after all the hype Gears 2 got in term of graphics, MGS4 ended up getting more graphics awards than Gears, how nice.

[CryofSilence]

Softimage|XSI I believe.

Yeah. Check this out. It's a good read. http://www.softimage.com/pr...

[gaffyh]

Softimage is the software used to create 3D Models for the game, not the engine they used. The engine is related to gameplay and was most likely created by Kojima Productions or Konami themselves as far as I know it has no name. Lets just call it the MGS4 engine for now.

[BBBB]

Giant Bomb is not bias I think they are very fair when comes to consoles

[ghostface]

Man, i need to play this game. Had it the first day the bundle came out just never got around to it. Maybe I'll get around to playing it sometime this week.

[Nathan Drake]

You're in for the best video game experience of this generation and possibly of your life

[interrergator]

[TheColbertinator]

Giant bomb is not bias.Also Gertsmann rules because he stood up for his principles during the Kane and Lynch media fiasco

[Snake Raiser]

to congratulate his son-brother (sother)

HAHA FUK YOU PP GOW2 GRAPHICS ARE A FAILURE COMPARED TO MGS4

[Queers of War]

haha he brags that gears won that one graphics award from gamestrailers....yet MGS4 won 3 best graphics awards...oh not to mention the other awards as well, including serveral overall GOTYs...which gears hasnt even had a sniff of...not even a nomination. now THAT is sad.

[MGOelite]

all hes doing is grasping at ANY award from any site to make it seem GOW2 is less pathetic

[tatotiburon]

gears of war 2 also won 3 GOTY for graphics

You fail

[ReTarDedFisHy]

...as far as I know the only graphics award that GeoW2 got was the one from GT. The others you must be talking about is most likely from your beloved blog sites.

Glad to see that MGS4 is wiping the floor on my two favorite sites; GS and GB.

[Ninja-Sama]

Man, I'm loving this. Guess we didn't have to wait till KZ2 to prove the PS3 was above and beyond any other console.

[Kratos_1986]

graphics king of this gen

[Nathan Drake]

Until God Of War III releases,that is ;)

[LarVanian]

Until Killzone 2 releases,that is ;)

(Fixed)

[billez]

metal gear best game this gen

[I_LOVE_MYSELF]

2nd best... Super Mario Galaxy is the best game this gen in my honest opinion

[theEnemy]

should also be awarded to MGS4.

I mean, it's too epic. All of it.

Game-of-the-Year quality game delivered by Kojima.

[Xi]

how the hell is crysis warhead not winning every single one of these awards >:(

[DiabloRising]

Well... I kinda think the character animation/models in Crysis look a bit like ass.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I don't understand it either.

Crysis: Warhead's getting snubbed because most people consider it an "expansion" when it's really a different perspective and a stand-alone game. Crysis still has the best graphics period.

I do think Killzone 2 will take the crown though.

[Sarcasm]

Because there's a thing called animations that MGS4 excels at.

And who think it's not fair to compare an expensive PC rig to a $400 console in which all users will get the same exact SOLID experience?

[kwicksandz]

this hardare bs again... Crytek themselves designed a warhead PC that can run warhead on HIGH settings and costs the same as a ps3 /facepalm

[meepmoopmeep]

well, it fooled many people thinking parts were CGI

[theEnemy]

CGI cutscenes are soooo last gen.

:D

[No FanS Land]

I much prefer in game cutscenes than CGI, seriously. If you can deliver the same credibility with in game graphics instead of CGI then it means your engine and all that goes with it is powerful.

[METtAL-GAMER]

It's sad how you people need an award to tell you what game is what.Before the awards you should of already known MGS4 is the best graphically.If you knew before then great but I keep seeing people looking for confirmation of an award just so they can say it's better.

[cereal_killa]

Metal

this is just like sales for fanboys it gives them excuses when other fanboys/trolls come into PS3/360 articles to bash the other game, Plenty of Trolls have been coming into MSG4 articles to bash this game because of the long cut scenes calling it a movie instead of a game and now with MSG getting many GOTYs and many sub awards like best graphics allows the fanboys to shut the trolls up.

Well deserved Kojima and Konomi should be proud

[gravv]

GeoW won 3 GOTY graphic awards?? from who? as far as i know only GT gave that award to GeoW

[Batzi]

Well Deserved!

[Magic_The_Celt]

MGS4 was deffinately the most out standing for me in 2008, both in terms of texture detail and facial detail/animation

but iv seen better lighting

[Rocky87]

Giant Fail!

Gears 2 kills MGS4 in terms of graphics. Metal Gears looks like a PS2 game in HD. It has its moments but it cannot compete with Gears 2.

[callahan09]

You clearly have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

[lelik]

lol @ rocky

thanks for confirming that xbox fanboys are in fact completely clueless. that and mentally retarded.

[Rocky87]

seems like my message hit your stinky heart.
I know the truth hurts ...

[Another One]

why is this posted as a 360 article when the title has everything to do with PS3? The link doesn't even take you to all of the awards, only this one. Clearly a PS3 article. Where things are posted should be monitored better to avoid the inevitable fanboy fights. MGS4 deserves the award, I'm just wondering why it's considered 360 news.

(I'm sure I'll get a million disagrees though)

[Shane Kim]

Well, MGS4 has so far won a couple of GOTY's and best graphics awards. Now Gears 2 has won best graphics from one site.

[picker332]

Did i see wrong or,was Mgs4 the winner?

I thought it would be crysis...

In terms of graphic,but yeye Crysis is sh!t,& the thing about Crysis is,at least i think,the blur effect when you turn around makes it look more realistic,but when i had it without that it kind of felt empty somehow.Maby an illusion in our eyes to believe that it's realistic...I know,i'm bored so,just talking noncense...lol

[NexGen76]

MGS4 was a master piece you don't see in gaming that much anymore.

[dkgshiz]

It had the best graphics this year. It was the best game that came out this year. Well that, and LBP.

[dkgshiz]

After you get past its graphics. Its just a mediocre shooter. Unlike MGS4. Amazing graphics, amazing gameplay. Its just amazing!
