Oh lord, this is really one of those debates on other gaming boards, and pretty much everyone things the current gen versions will be crap and what not, and I keep saying the same thing to them all:

So far I recall, Kojima clearly said the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions will look close to what you've been seeing so far. I think people are just highly underestimating the power of the Fox Engine and what it can do to the current gen consoles to put them to their max.

Remember when the PS3 and Xbox 360 came out? Remember how the games looked mostly like high end PS2/Xbox games?

Why people think that because it's next gen, that the games that first come out for it will look completely amazing like we've never seen before is still beyond me.

Look at MGS3, that game took everything the PS2 had and it looked fricking amazing, had it come out as a release game for the PS3 or Xbox 360 not many would have noticed much difference. There's a reason why MGS4 was released a year after the PS3 came out, to make better use of it's hardware.

Now with the Fox Engine, they are very much so capable to take out everything the current gen consoles have to offer, Kojima himself said they will look close to what we have seen now and I am fully inclined to believe him on that regard.

Like I said before, people heavily underestimate the power of the current gen consoles.
