It's not long until Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain is released - 22 days to be precise, on September 1.

To help us deal with the wait, Konami has sent along some very detailed screens comparing the game across formats.

To be honest, the game looks great on PC, Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360 and PS3, but there's no point in comparing if we can't have a little argument about which has the "best" graphics.

Let's start with the PC (Steam) version of the game compared to PS4.

Now it makes sense to take a look at the difference between the two Sony consoles, PS3 versus PS4:

And now let's look at the Xbox One and Xbox 360 versions of the game:

So there you go. All the visual fuel you need to justify your format of choice. Have fun!
