Why Doesn’t MGS V Look Like Silent Hills P.T.?

Anybody who’s already played Silent Hills Playable Teaser could attest to the near photo-realistic (if not dead on) graphics on full display in all it’s glory on the PS4. It’ll most likely set the bar in graphics when the full version is finally released, as it may be the best looking game to grace any platform period ever. I mean Silent Hills really, really, really, looks like real life.

It also has been revealed that the legendary Hideo Kojima (Creator of the Metal Gear Solid Series) is at the helm of this iteration. And anybody who knows Kojima’s work and how his brain operates knows that we could be in for a treat — a classic horror game.

So with the knowledge that Kojima is the man behind Silent Hills begs the question, why isn’t his other upcoming game Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain bringing the same graphical quality?

For one, we don't know exactly how open Silent Hills will be. MGS V is a very large open world. Which naturally will have to see some decrease in graphical value in order to run smoothly. Also, MGS V is a cross-gen game, while Silent Hills has the benefit of being current gen only.

Scholla3509d ago (Edited 3509d ago )

@snookies12 @Torque @Mega I address those theories in the article, read fellas.

Edit:
"Now the obvious argument that could be made is that MGS V is open-world and Silent Hills P.T. was crammed into this little hallway thus allowing the power of the PS4 to really shine, kind of like how I remember a similar argument was made with the skepticism over the Capcom PS4 exclusive ‘Deep Down’"

Look, I'm already saying what you guys are saying but there has got to be something more to this, because Silent Hills has to come out. So either yall are saying this game will not look like that when it releases or that you don't think it will be open-world or that it just looks better period regardless of art direction and will kick MGS V's butt when it drops lmboooo.

Torque_CS_Lewith3509d ago

I read the article. I do not feel you sufficiently argued against the point.
Let's talk after the full reveal because I doubt the graphics will hold in a more open setting.

The thing is, the way your article reads, it seems you may have a theory. Why not come out and say it instead of beating about the bush for someone to bring it up first.
Go on.

Scholla3509d ago

You do have a good point that it's cross platform. I remember however reading that Kojima was going to do Phantom Pain Exclusively for next gen I guess he changed his mind again.

pornflakes3508d ago

hm.. comparing PT to Silent hill ppl are talking about the open world in MGS5

But if fanboys compare Driveclub to Forza Horizon2 than nobody cares about the open world!?

nagalaga313508d ago

It's because of what Microsoft tried to pull off. And now everyone, except those who bought it of course, hates anything related to the XO.

MysticStrummer3508d ago

If "fanboys" do it then "nobody" cares…?

Think about what you wrote there.

PLASTICA-MAN3508d ago

One is Cross-gen with no current-gen tech like tessalation and other stuff and the otehr is PS4 exclusive. Very simple.

Patrick_pk443508d ago

This. It is an open world game with great detail which is demanding as hell. P.T was just a corridor, and barely demanding.

Corridor bound teaser vs open world game. . .really?

Mega243509d ago

is this a serious article? PT only had one Hallway to render, MGSV is an open world game. Still looks incredible than anything out at this point.

Scholla3509d ago

And if you believe that do you believe that the final game will look worst than that demo?

mhunterjr3509d ago

Simply put, rendering an interior is less intensive than rendering an outdoor, open world ... It would take a lot more processing power to make a game like MGSV look like P.T.

CernaML3509d ago

You're seriously comparing an open world action game that runs at 60fps to a corridor bound demo that runs at 30fps....?

WitWolfy3508d ago (Edited 3508d ago )

First of all P.T isn't even the full potential of the FOX engine according to Kojima. Secondly its a totally different color pallet and has a lot more shadows, thats why!

elninels3508d ago

He said he downgraded the demo so it looked more indie and less AAA. It didnt work. PT is gorgeous. TPP will be gorgeous. Silent Hills will be gorgeous.

20 Awesome Canceled Games You'll Never Get To Play

You can understand some games getting canceled, but these awesome looking games still baffle us to this very day.

"Tommy saving the planet from an army of aliens after they abducted him and his entire bar, with the game ending on the promise that Tommy would be back, but that promise was never fulfilled"

The thing is with the original Prey 2 that Tommy wasn't even the main character, they replaced him with some generic looking space bounty hunter. It was a refreshing change to see an awesome Native American character with ancestral like powers fight aliens yet they ditched him. It was only after an outcry they showed much later in a new preview that Tommy was in the game as an NPC.

I'd have prefered a real sequel with Tommy as the main character, literally picking right up from the originals ending.

As for Eight Days...Sony really needs to pick this up

If Amy Hennig was still at ND, I'd have loved to see her tackle it after what she did with Uncharted.

isarai48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

I thought that was awesome too, and honestly i wish people werent so damn critical about cultural variety in games. I feel like people try to ruin devs lives if even one detail is off about their culture in a game and so everyone is too scared to try anymore

isarai48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

One of the lead engine programmers for Prey 2 at Human Head was my programming instructor when i was taking game design. This game was in limbo at the time and we asked once and only once about this game, the misery in his eyes when he told us "this is the 1st and only time ill ask you to never ask me about that game" was something ill never forget😅 he used a couple assets through the curriculum for teaching purposes but nothing very tangible. Just a function here, a 3d prop there. Such a shame. Years later i saw him at a magic tournament, we caught up and he still thinks about that game and how it's "practically done" probably sitting on a drive somewhere

shinoff218348d ago (Edited 48d ago )

Practically done? Jeez that fking blows because that looked much more interesting then what bethsada made. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the one bethsada made.

Lmno looked interesting.
I'd knock titanfall and fez off the list. Add something else. Scarface 2 man only if would've been awesome. Prey 2 should be higher to. Either way not a bad list. Out of 20 there's only 2 I'd hate on.

isarai48d ago

That gen got a lot of games canned right before the finish line. Cipher Complex, Battlefront 3, legacy of kain dead sun just to name a few

XiNatsuDragnel48d ago

Games that need to come out: Battlefront 3, 8 days, and timesplitter 4.

Skuletor47d ago

One that's not on the list is Killing Day, I remember seeing the trailer in 2005 and being impressed at the time. Being Ubisoft you know it would have been a AAAA game too, lol
2 Days to Vegas and The Getaway 3 are two other games that seemed promising but never came out.

The orginal prey 2 better be on this list.

And it is. Man if could've got this instead. Wonder why no one's step up to do this kinda game yet. I think there's one in development for pc, it's cyberpunk Era but it takes place in some huge apartment complex I think. Anyway I'm saying this not knocking the prey that came out cause I did enjoy that to but really wanted prey 2 (canceled)

Skuletor70d ago

I wonder if they never happened because they were cancelled 🤔 (stupid headline)

Rockstar70d ago

Was just thinking the same thing...
