World Premiere Gears of War 2 gameplay trailer

See the Gears of War 2 gameplay trailer for the first time.

[godoftime]

Quite impressive.

[Harry190]

No matter what camp you are in,you can't deny the game has an awesome look.

[jahcure]

I think the mass marketing of the unreal engine softened the impact of this game. You can literally compare this to Army of Two. Move for move. The hostage situation is really cool i might add. However, it may just be me, but i'll give the KZ2 trailer the upperhand on this one when comparing trailers for graphic content

[Dark Collosis]

I have the KZ2 trailer on right now and the only thing impressive is the damn gun you carry.. Everything else is nothing more than a greyed out COD4 look.. I mean give me a break people LOOK AGAIN. Does the gun you hold mean that much to you? Looking at this trailer shows WAY more detail in everything on screen not to mention the epic scale of the battle with NO slow down... GeOW2>KZ2 all day ...

[Hububla]

i mean dont get me wrong... its good.. but like people above stated.. it doesnt really show anything inovative or new.. it still only had like 3-5 actual AI controlled enemies on screen and the graphics are not much better then gears 1... i guess i was just expecting more... but to me it just seams like more of the same old cover..shoot..cover..shoot..co ver..shoot..cover... i duno that lost its thrill for me about halfway through the first game.. unless they dicover some new way of coding the 360 i think this will stand as gears 1.5

[Nadine Coyle]

how much killzone have we had. exactly 12 minute videos.

your showed 2 mins of campaign level. yes fine you can comment on that, wait till you get a whole level. you have seen a tiny sneak peak. you have seen a whole level on killzone!!!

i am getting that!!!!!

[Kaneda]

GOW 2.. 3rd person.. KZ2 1st shooter.. of course you have to see the gun you're carrying..

I don't hear 360 fans complaining how gray this game is.. more grayer than KZ2.. even blood is gray..

I love the action and sound in GOW 2.. but I don't see the big improvement that M$ said when they released the 1st trailer.... but EPIC got 6 months to work on it....

[kewlkat007]

Kid don't even go there
it was PS3 only owners that bashed the first Gears for it's color choice and now they are now saying the same thing 360 gamers been saying about these types of games.

Don't be ignorant...brah, remember Gear of War 1 already came out. Xbox fans know what colors that games used and some explained exactly smae thing KZ2 owners are saying.

This falls along of the Halo not being TRU-HD comments earlier.

[shelbygt33]

This board is replete with PS3 fanboys. Just look at the agree/disagree ratio on all the comments. I'm sad that it's impossible to find an impartial message board anymore.

It looks great and I can't wait for it. Stop comparing screenshots and just enjoy it. Sheesh!

[Diugu]

I must say I was expecting a lot more... but it does look great.

Don't want to compare it with KZ2, suffice to say that they both look amazing.

[INehalemEXI]

Good stuff. I like those things that look like sentenals from the matrix with locusts riding them.

Its not a big leap from Gears 1 , I would not compare it to KZ2, Uncharted 2 or MGS4 would be its rival game IMO. Gears 2 will do well and will be a part of my collection.

Its not as exciting as a KZ2 or MGS4 for me though. Uncharted also was not as exciting for me as KZ2 or MGS4.

[Time_Is_On_My_Side]

What colours did you see I saw grey as well it's just the time of day that is different. The last game has grey as well all horror / giddy games have dark colours. You're not going to see The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay having bright green.

It's all about the settings, if something is set in a particular place it has to be grounded in that reality of that environment. A forest setting will have a lot of green, a cave will have a lot of dark colours, or an African setting will have a lot of bright oranges.

[HighDefinition]

It looks like a mix between GeoW1 and UT3. Which isn`t a bad thing. The flying "Locusts" were impressive.

With that said....

Killzone 2 NOW has the console/gaming crown. If the 360 was gonna make a HUGE leap this would have been it, as good as it looks in looks like GeoW1 w/ a bit more going on, which again...isn`t a bad thing. What`s always bother me w/ Gears is how the characters move/die/transfer and it looks like that hasn`t changed much.

[Condoleezza Rice]

But they still look awesome indeed

Graphicwise,it still looks fantastic,just not better than KillZone 2 at this point.

[snyper831]

you know what?? just wait until killzone2 comes out and then compare both games. I got a feeling its going to be a long time maybe by then gears of war4 might be out in the mean time enjoy your blu ray player..........

[bozobucketeer]

I don't see how a game can have the gaming/console crown if it hasn't even been released. It's not even set to release in 08. All this shows me is that you fell for the hype; someone told you it's going to be the best game ever and you believed it. Bioshock 2 is gonna blow everything out of the water!!!... How about we wait until a game is released and it delivers before we crown it?

[Relcom]

I thought that was a cinematic. Nice work Epic

Gears>>>Halo 3

[pwnsause]

if anything, this should of been the game to hype about, not Halo. this deserves to be advertised in the Mountain Dew game fuel bottles. lol.

[Relcom]

at least as much as halo 3. This actually deaserves it.

[KILLERAPP]

I posted the dam video before him bull#$#$

Looks good hope it will be better than the firts. This year will be a great years for gamers.

[Vojkan]

Not impressed one bit, i expected more, after all 360 is mega super machine or is it?!

[BlackIceJoe]

Gears 2 looks great now all I need is to be able to play it.

[1bi11i0n]

but KillZone 2 still beats it...

you people that disagree are hopeless.

[RebornSpy]

Since when does better graphics meant better game? Some of the older games from last gen are much better than some of the games out today, but people keep claiming that since their favorite game has the best graphics, it is the best.

From what I have seen so far, KZ2 has the best graphics, but what I want to see is how fun the game is and how amazing the gameplay is. I never played KZ1 so I don't want to make any ignorant statements, but I heard that the game was O.K. but nowhere near what was anticipated. The Gears 2 graphics, especially this early on, look amazing, and that's good enough for me. And I know from the past that it will very fun to play... So basically using graphics as your soul argument shouldn't have as much weight as you make it seem.

And besides, is your life any fuller for having bashed a 360 game? Does it really matter to you that Gears fails? Any good game that comes out is not only good for the fans of the particular console, but gamers in general. So please don't just flame and troll. Just enjoy this great year of gaming.

[Silellak]

We could, I dunno, enjoy both? Maybe? Anyone with me here? Both games have a place in this world?

Or must one DESTROY the other in MORTAL KOMBAT?

[littletad]

But where does your claim come from? The first Killzone didn't bring anything new and was so-so at best, so the only thing that Killzone 2 is running on is hype and it's graphics. Epic's been making first-person shooters for years... and guess what, Gear's is already an established franchise. I'd take recognition and experience over hype any day of the week. But as a gamer? Yeah I'll just enjoy both. Sad to see I can't say the same about you.

[ChefDejon]

its looks just like Gears of war 1 in graphics

http://www.gametrailers.com...

[DrPirate]

Graphics look exactly the same but WOW at the size of those maps, and how many enemies on screen.

[wow4u]

@9.1

You clearly didnt play the first game.

That is just one level -- the levels have all kinds of different play. In that level, you are riding that huge carrier, in others, you've got full freedom to travel around the map however you'd like.

[littletad]

Name one first-person shooter that let's you free-roam? Anything? Yeah there's Bioshock, but it's not entirely just a shooter. Resistance? Yeah it was linear, so was Gears, So was the first Killzone, and so will nearly every other shooter be that's released this year. It's the immersion and the scope that brings greatness to a first-person shooter, but ultimately that's within the boundaries of linearity. So how Sony fan's can claim this as a "negative" is beyond me, when no first-person shooter let's you do this on your system yet.

[vloeistof]

cool cant wait now back to sleep :)

[BilI Gates]

Uh looks like Gears 1 lol. Killzone 2 looks way better than this sorry.

[pwnsause]

its awesome, big change from Gears of War 1, great Draw Distance, intense battles. No doubt about it. Its Epic Games, they make bada## games all the time. they upgraded their engine to ensure that this game gets a proper sequel that it deserves. Cant wait to play it this November.

But killzone 2 has taken the crown as the most highly advance game ever created on a console so far. Hopefully the Gameplay is awesome as well, which is my real concern about KZ.

[thewhoopimen]

Yeah you do have greater draw distance... only your following a pre-determined pathway (rail) so everything in the distance is really just tweaked for that set path haha. Ie ... not really greater...

[pwnsause]

i didnt mean it that way. lol, but seriously, it looks great.

[wow4u]

So, where are the sony cheerleaders now? MGS4 and Killzone 2 clearly dont look that good at all.

Simply amazing, that looks like a Pixar movie.

Edit: Ha, look at the deniers. Hold onto your fantasies guys. Just hold-on.

Watch the clip again. Notice the detail in the textures and the models. Notice the explosions and smoke, notice how smooth the animation is. Notice the depth of field, and the way the territory looks in the distance. Notice the variation in shadows, and how the shadows overlap.

Now, go watch KZ2 -- notice the flat textures and models. Notice the haze applied over everything. MGS4 isnt even worth discussing frankly.

Sorry guys, that footage looks like a CGI movie -- and blows KZ2 away.

[pwnsause]

??? are you ok?

[whateveryousay]

Ok, I can't even take you seriously with a nonsense comment like that

[HighDefinition]

You 360 hardcores definitely have alot of BUILT up frustration! Some of these comments are unbelievable.

You mouth is like a UZI right now. Calm down.

[DrPirate]

Ummmm...No.

[thewhoopimen]

your kidding yourself right? It looks like a slightly better gow1 with more interactions happening on screen... that's about it. I take that back after rewatching it. The interaction # is still the same. 3-5 enemies per encounter.

[A_PimpNamedSlikBak]

Lol, MGS4 and KZ2 don't look that good? Rick James wasn't lying when he said cocaine is a helluva drug hahahaha. Seriously wow4u lay off the drugs its not healthy.

RIP Rick James

[jwatt]

Although it does looks better, I didn't get that wow factor I got with Geow1. I really think Geow2 and Killzone 2 are really comparable now even though they will be released at different times I think these are the two games that will go head to head.

[Ace Ventura]

I'm sorry bro.

This looked very very and anyone saying it doesn't is liar.

At the same time Killzone 2 has to still prove itself. Anyone with a brain and eyes can tell Killzone 2 looks like a huge improvement over the first in gameplay and just the feel of the shooting.

When it comes to graphics??? No. I would be lieing if I said this looked as good as Killzone 2. Killzone 2 looks like CGI. This looks a tad bit better than Gears 1. Which doesn't make a great game... but Killzone is now visually more impressive... easily.

Killzone 2 just needs to prove it can score high also in reviews... which I personally believe it will...but know Gears 2 will. Lets wait and see.

Either way, both games will probablly turn out being 2 of the coolest most action-packed games when they are released. Lets hope for the best!

[solidt12]

This guy can't be serious. I hope Snake sneaks in your house and beat you down with some CQC.

[Condoleezza Rice]

The Chainsaw duel was bloody Epic(Excuse the double pun)

[badkolo]

better then killzone2, i think so. u might like the look of killzone2, but the game could still be crap like the first, im hoping its good and if it looks better then gears2 then great as long as it plays well, and hopefully after 4 years they actually do make it look better, we have waited long for it.

[solidt12]

The first Killzone wasn't Crap. It just wasn't Great. It was a good shooter. Now The PSP Killzone Game is Great so I think they have proved that they can make a great game already. Especially with them being limited on the PSP. Now that they have the Power of the PS3 Im sure the game will rock.

for the Note Gears 2 does look great and will be great.

[mrbillybadass]

i still think that KZ2 looks better but its DAMN close i didnt think GeOW2 was goin to be that close but i was proven wrong

[Ricdog]

Crysis looks better than both killzone 2 and GOW2 and god of war 3. Yes i know we havent seen any footage, but it doesnt matter i can garantee u Crysis will still have better graphics.

[HighDefinition]

GOW3?

You need to think about what your saying. Your saying a game you haven`t seen won`t be better?

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

GOW = God of War

GeOW = Gears of War, get it right.

"GOD3" has yet to be shown yet, so no point in arguing that.

"GOD2" is on Playstation 2, thats dated hardware.

And Crysis wasn't that great truthfully speaking, it may look nice but it didn't meet up with the hype.

[Rock Bottom]

And your point is?!!!

[BIoodmask]

And that was just a sneak peek. I wonder what the other levels will look like?

The most impressive thing about it was the huge open environment. All the heavy equipment and huge beasts and a multitude of enemies with no slowdown that I saw at least.

The texture detail was also really nice even when things were up close.

I new Epic wouldn't let it's fans down. Can't wait until November.

[HighDefinition]

Your being FLOWN thru it.

[Clinton514]

I'm still calling you out on this since you conveniently skipped out on my question.

http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-...

[CViper]

Love the scale! Very cool ideas as well!

[kornbeaner]

Looks goods. They seem to have greatly improved the action (at least for the mission shown)

Can't wait to see how the game progresses.

[akaFullMetal]

looks great, hope it does really good for epic

[alexM]

KZ2 has killed GAERS2

haaaaaaaa

Others this is KZ2

http://www.gamersyde.com/ne...

TALK ABOUT AI

even the BOSS "BURMACK" seemed to have no AI

[MailMan]

I'm SURPRISED the Xbots haven't LEFT this site yet,not only does this game look like a DREAMCAST game compared to Killzone 2,it also looks like another FLOP for the Xbox 3Fixme Enterflopment system

Jump OUT and Play B3YOND

[Ariexv]

Sorry Gears 2 wins in Graphics AND gameplay.... Kz2 will be SH!T just like Kz1.

[BLUR111]

^^nice video of call of duty 4

[alexM]

KZ2 eats away GEARS 2 in terms of GRAPHICS and INTENSITY

It kills GAYERS 2

GAYERS2 looks just like the first one BUT IS WASHED OUT VS UNCHARTED

How would it match KZ2

Others this is KILLZONE2---The MOST REALISTIC GAME EVER MADE

http://www.gamersyde.com/st...

http://www.gamersyde.com/ne...

http://www.gamersyde.com/st...

How come enemies in GAYERS2 have no AI....even the BOSS was just sitting there.

LOL poor xbutts

UNCHARTED>>>>> >>>>>>>&a mp;gt ;GAYERS2

KZ2>>>>>>&a mp;g t;>>>>>>> & gt;CRYSIS > UNCHARTED

LOL

KZ2>>>>>>&g t;>>>>>>>& gt;>>>>>>GEAR S2 in graphics

GEARS 2 is now a Wii game

[TheSadTruth]

Can anyone believe this premiers at 1:00 AM on Friday night? What does that say about gamers lol. Looks like they use the same engine as GoW which is disappointing, but nothing involving video games can ever disappoint me as much as Halo 3 for the rest of my life.

[zimbo007]

like alex said

where is the AI in GEARS2

How come the BOSS never shot back

Why is it looking so greay and washed out

LOL some BOTS were comparing this to KZ2??

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

BTW bots

please show me AI in Gears2. the game looks bad against KZ2.

some people were complaining about KZ2's AI. Now what happens to Gears AI?

[captainjy]

You gotta be kidding me! Killzone 2 looks like a PS2 game compared to Gears 2! WOW! F'ing sweet man! Best looking game out there!!!!!

[Kazuo Hirai]

My 2 minutes back

[CallOfWar22]

Sorry my friend, it looks like another typical average old FPS to me. COD5 will leave it in the dust whenever it comes out. WOw they need some infinity ward programmers over there cuz Gurella Progammers are slowwwwwww. And This footage doesn't not even come close to that bullcrap footage they showed 2 years ago. More lies. Atleast gears doesn't lie. Straight up game footage. THey dont have to put up fake touched up crap for insecure fanboys like u to be like yeaaaaaaaaa my purchase was a good idea after all. I don't regret only owning a PS3. Deep down inside you do. Gears 2 or GTA4 GOTY!!!!!! I say its a Tie aaaaaaaahh Caaaauzzzin.!!!!

[AngryXbot]

And it looks good, dont get me wrong. But honestly, its Gears of War 1 graphics.

I have stated that it would look the same and it does indeed. This is because Gears of Wars 1 already pushed the 360 to the max in terms of graphical prowess. Thats why no game on the 360 has yet to beat those graphics and thats why GoW2 looks the same indeed.

[Thoas]

I yawned 3 seconds in, it looks like the first one. Gears of war 1.5.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Why I think it is......... Ouch

Why does the 360 continue to make the PS3 look like the PS2?

[Thoas]

Kids say the darnest things. Jason360 it looks like UTIII which wasnt that good looking. Gears of War 1.5 is just that a tweak.

[Sir Ken Kutaragi]

'Cartoons Of War 2'!!! ;-D

This is the FACT!!!...

'KillZone 2' LOOKS REAL!!! ;-P

'Cartoons Of War 2' LOOKS like a CARTOON!!! ;-D

+I got this game on my PS3 already!!!...
It's called Unreal Tournament 3 !!! ;-D

This game WON'T Stop PS3 Selling More each month than the xBox 360...
Another FACT!!! ;-P

[Kleptic]

welp...the gameplay looks fun...the locust sheild then snap his neck thing was awesome...

but it needs to be said...

Gears of Tournament 3?...definitely...they still have some time though...

[le killer]

"like alex said" you fvcking sad little moron you are alex/zimbo and your quoting yourself??lololololol

just shows how sad people like you really are you little no-life idiot. go away

[Tmac]

I'm going to have to disagree, I'm a pretty neutral person, but I have to give it to Killzone 2 in the graphics department, it really does blur the line between CGI and modern game graphics.

[Nadine Coyle]

http://www.gametrailers.com...

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

That just shuts all the Droids in this line the f**k up.

@Tmac don't lie, you say your "neutral" but everyone of your comments are "pro Sony" or your attacking Xbox fans http://www.n4g.com/up/36005... dumb f*ck, next time you lie and try to play that "neutral" angle, remember we can click your past comments.

[Tmac]

I haven't attacked any 360 fans other than Power of Green for literally not seeing past his knees.

You need to calm down Jason 360 and act like a responsible adult.

I'm telling it like it is, Gears of War 2 looks absolutely epic, but if your going to compare graphics, Killzone 2 still takes the cake.

I'm sorry if you disagree with me, that's life. No buddy likes a whiner either.

[DomUltra]

Wow, Jason360 blatantly attacking some one because they don't agree with your view, what a little fυcken cry baby.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Shall I post some comments from you when you stalk me from comment to comment, or when you stalk POG, The Mart, Bladestar and just about every Xbot. Dumb ass, your name should be DumbUltra, your about as bad a Nasim/shmee/tanod/butterfinger /AlexM or whatever new name he comes up with this week.

[Homicide]

Killzone 2 looks better, graphic wise. Gears of War 2 still looks very grey.

[DomUltra]

Lol, are you that infatuated with me that you consider me stalking when I don't even respond to half of your comments? Take a look in the mirror, your tracking my comments and you have the audacity to call ME a stalker? LMFAO! REEETARD.

[Tmac]

Wow, both of you just stop acting like kids.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

The hypocrisy of Tmac emerges once again, you are sad dude, real sad. You remind me of someone who snorts a line of cocaine right before going into an elementary school to teach an anti drug class. WTF are you doing in the open zone if your so "neutral"? get the f**k out of the open zone if you don't like this sh!t, quit whining like a little b!tch. LOL did you get kicked out of the gamer zone? let me guess did you say some fanboy sh!t or attack someone even though "you dont do that"?

LOL what a dumbass

[Pain]

Sorry but its true. You kids can thank old-gen Xbox 360 Hardware and DVD9 for that.

[Tmac]

@ Jason 360

I can comment where ever I please, and why would I be banned from the Gamer Zone? I didn't attack anyone there nor here. You really need to calm down.

Although I am beginning to believe DomUltra is right about you. Acting like a borderline psychotic won't get me to agree with you.

[Mighty Boom]

You sir, are the definition of a tool.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

LOL I like how MailMan says "flop" on the 360, nothing on the 360 flops and everything outsells the PS3. So if 5 million is a flop what do you call the biggest selling game Motorstorm at 3 million on the PS3? Let me guess in your dumb fu*k of a mind, Motorstorm must have out sold Gears at 5 million and Halo 3 at 8 million. Your so f**king stupid George W Bush and Jessica Simpson are looking at you saying "wetaded, dee dee dee".

[Ri0tSquad]

Just like I thought. Very, very impressive. Gears of War 1 was pretty linear but this one clearly isn't. I really had to pause it and just take a deep breathe because of how awesome it was. Who can't wait to play this game? Honestly?

[thewhoopimen]

I disagree with you. Where is the sandbox level you are talking about? It's just as linear... He's literally running around in a drill derrick the whole time while it follows... a linear path.

[Jim Crowslaw]

Wow this really really looks good and im a very big, genuine Sony enthusiast but i kno a great lookin game when i see one. I havent seen to many clear vids of KZ2 but right now at 1:05 am, GOW2 is lookin better (just visually speaking).

[Cupid_Viper_3]

not close.......at all...period

and to the xbox camp, this is a game that deserve 9 million units sold, not HALO3....

I've always like gears, because of the advertisement for it, how the song presides over the chaos,lol... but we all know that K ILLZONE is in a league of its own.

admitting it doesnt take away anything from GEARS 2, just like admitting that KILLZONE is a totally different game, on a different platform, of a different genre, and running on a newer, different, more complicated and superior engine takes nothing away from GEARS 2..

anybody denying that, just have issues with themselves.

congradulations Epic,.....

[mushroomhead]

Amazing...F#ckin amazing!!!

[HuntTheWumpus]

The game still has many months of dev time left so it can only get better and I am already blown away by this.

When you look ever the edge of that of that vehicle and all the locust were running and he was mowing them down with that big gun. I love it! That was the kind of stuff I was looking for. It definately had a more open feel. Love the part where he took a locust as cover then snapped his neck and thru him over the edge! Oh yeah!

Some very beautiful games coming out and it's good to see dev's milking more and more power out of the consoles. November is going to be a long wait.

[Silver360]

notice you can use meat shields now? That was sick and then he broke the locust neck and tossed the body game is hot.

[Ricdog]

Yup, GOW3 will be good but Crysis will be better. Its like i know that that wii game Quatim or whatever, that says it will look like a 360 game but we all know that World in Conflict has better graphics. Same thing with god of war 3 with Crysis.

[kornbeaner]

WHAT????

[JVIDICAN]

what does this have to do with crysis or god of war 3(unless you made a typo)?

[DJ]

They cleaned up the anti-aliasing and increased the environment size. That's about it... Now we just need to see how Resistance and Gears compare once they hit E3 '08.

[Bibto]

I agree. GEOW's real competition this year is Resistance 2, not Killzone. Although the graphics doesn't seem to be that much improved from the original, the gameplay looks to be a blast. They also have some nice features, the chainsaw battle, using enemies for shields.

I hope Guerilla games watches this closely. This is what a war should look like. The Killzone 2 footage looks very impressive, but it still doesn't really feel like an all out assault. Still some time to go though. I'm sure both games will be great.

[DJ]

But they need to up the number of Helghast by probably 50%, and have them doing rush tactics and whatnot from time to time. The battles are already big in Killzone, but they need to be intimidating as well.

[Marceles]

The game does look like GOW 1 with better lighting (which really isn't a bad thing), but the gameplay just looks fun as hell. Not just running around and shooting repeat...it looks like there's a bunch of other stuff to do, I'll be getting this first day...

[Qbanboi]

Sh!t, it won't let me see it.

[Dark Collosis]

You have got to be kidding me. Killzone has nothing on this video.. YET another year that 360 will DOMINATE the Delay Station 3.... Man i cant wait to play this game... Thank god its not being developed on the delay station......

[Clinton514]

True story.

edit: Highdef, thank you. Bubbles back at you.

[HighDefinition]

You get my last bubble for that, that was the best.

True Story.

[lodossrage]

But don't even kid yourself with trying to say it looks better than killzone 2.

I can understand the fanboyism. But let's not be ridiculous.

[HuntTheWumpus]

I think we should respect both Gears 2 and Killzone 2. They are both technical marvels and Killzone 2 is OMG beautiful. Then we cant forget about Resistance Fall of Man 2 as well. As a shooter fan I am probably going to have to give in and buy both systems and the gf is going to proceed to castrate me. haha

[GAMER NOT FANBOY]

umm GOW has better textures and graphics then killzone...killzone owns in animation and and character interaction with things such as being shot..so it makes it look more lifelike..by the way didn't killzone one suck? u graphic whores need to realize what makes a game good

[ChefDejon]

on screen doing nothing but herding around like sheep

[CViper]

I'll wait to see more footage to see the 100's of locusts.

[vloeistof]

OMG SOME PEEPZ HERE ARE SO angry kinda funny.

[Clinton514]

The larger scaled battle. Hopefully there is more of that.

Visually, looks similar to first game, which isn't a terrible thing. Depth blur = good.

[Close_Second]

....looks real nice but yet another railgun shooter level. You stuck on the back of a truck shooting. The level will play out the exact same way if you play it 10 times. That is enemies will appear on queue.

When are we going to get some true next gen-AI and gaming. We are getting more and more next-gen visuals but all they do is hide the last gen-gameplay. For instance, if you see your enemy using wheeled transport - take out the f**king road. I mean, COGS are driving to destroy a weapon that can take out an entire city from underneath and yet the locusts cant take out a road or mountain range????

Be great if the the locust could take out the road and have them take it out in a different spot each time you play to open up new branches in the gameplay.

For anyone hitting disagree...do you feel that the gamplay scenario I outline is a bad thing?

[hamburgerhill]

SO are you saying that you wish everytime you died the fight would change and give you a different feeling each play through?

[Close_Second]

I'm saying that the AI needs to be at a level where the locust would learn from their mistakes so that the next time through they change their plan of attack. Hell, most of today's supposed next-gen games still have AI that mimicks the allied attack plan during world war 1.

That is, if it didn't work the same way first 8 times then the 9th time must surely be a winner.

[hamburgerhill]

OK now I see what your saying and yes that would be cool! The ai was ok in part one and mabye they will make a huge improvement by launch if where lucky!

[red_ring_of_death]

still looks so grey
looks more like DLC
it really doesn't look no different gears 1

[captainjy]

Yeah and Dillzone is a darker gray. KZ2 is a modified COD 4 wannabe, period. Sorry Phonyites, not even close. Gears 2 looks absolutely amazing and you will never get to play it on your movie console!

[DomUltra]

Well, CaptainJ is still a retard, and Coca Cola still has the same fresh taste.

[TheEndzor]

The Graphics are great but its not much different from Gears 1 as anticipated

Killzone 2 > gears 2 in terms of graphics

gameplay is up in the air. have to wait for them to come out

The most important part is that gears 2 will be a good game

[Breakfast]

you must admit...the game looks freakn epic...

[zimbo007]

but the graphics looked bland compared to KZ2

It doesnt look epic since it doesnt have 1000 enmies on screen like HS

It looked just like GEARS1.....which looks like DOG***** vs KZ2

@breakBOT

The enmies in GEARS2 had no AI

even the BOSS brumack didnt seem to have AI...why is that??

Besides the game looks bad and washed out.

This is not 2005. this is 2008. Unreal engine is now backdated against KZ2 /uncharted's engine.

hide in your cave XBOT

arent u even ashamed of that Gears2 footage especially after seeing the KZ2 footage

where is the AI?

[Breakfast]

it could look like the bottom of my ass...im talkn about the gameplay...the game looks epic. big bosses and everything. even you can admit that.

@ MyHero

It can look like the bottom of my ass...can have AI that just stand still...it can have washed out graphics....and its still looks epic.

PS: BreakBot is pretty good name :)

[Genki]

Looks more fun than what I've seen of Killzone in all honesty. Frantic and action packed, just the way I like it.

Graphics though...not quite there yet. I agree with some that for the most part it looks just like Gears 1. That isn't a bad thing IMO though, because to this day I still think Gears blows many games out of the water, so that's fine with me. Killzone wins in the visual department. Look at aliasing, particle effects, the environment, and especially the animations. Killzone's animations look to be way more sophisticated and advanced than what I've seen from this so far.

I will say it again though, for the fanatics that will inevitably miss it, this looks loads more fun than Killzone at this point in time. The action and suspense looks like a summer blockbuster, and I loved how he picked up that locust as and used it as a shield. That is a very nice touch, and I don't how long I've been waiting for a GOOD GAME to implement such a feature. Sorry, didn't like Dead to Rights, game was pure crap.

So as of right now, it's a toss up between the two if you ask me. Gears has got the fun factor down it seems, as well as general gameplay, but Killzone has graphical fidelity, atmosphere, and believability down. Enjoy em both I say.

[thewhoopimen]

If a 360 fan had put it the way you put it... I would've been 100% in complete agreement.

This game definitely looks more fun than Killzone2 at this time.

And fun should be what we are looking for.

[jwatt]

yea I agree with that, I think we need to see more variety of enemies in Killzone and different situations. Killzone already has the mini gun boss and drivable tanks but Geow2 has alot of different kinds of enemies and big creatures to fight.

[Odion]

I agree that overall the game isn't a massive leap detail wise, but I think its still a HUGE jump, purely from scale, to the number of things going on, and all that.

That was so freaking cool like 50 locus on the ground, crazy ass Gaint dudes running around, they were getting shot from artillery, it looked like a battle zone SO COOL.

and that meat shield part was so dam funny, imagine if you can do that in MP?!

[Atomic]

this game makes me think of the movie Ghostbusters!
not worth my attention , i need something gritty and mature,aka KillZone 2

[mesh1]

looks were bette rthan killzone in terms of framerate,texture,processing power in term sof what going on on screen ,and the gameplaymakes killzone 2 looks garabge notto mention killzone is a 2009 tittle =) also in the killzone vids the character models are a joke please dont every show a screen shot of gears 2 and killzone 2 int he same place as killzone will lookaverage this game rthe enviroments look much much more detail than killzone 2 plz show me a screen a provem me rong its a good thing in screen shtos u cant capture animation hahahahahah watch when the ingame screen of this game are made the gsme looks amazing the amount of thing happing is insane th elvl of deatial o powrange locust is almost absurd it looks that good killzone lookis liek a crap cod4 with some nice animation to the character which wil get boring quick in killzone u go shoot u run shoot the lvl are tiny and its just crap this game u travel the wolrd on your derrick its with you from start to finisgb amamzing u wroam open areas wow edit:OMG I JUST SAW THIS GAME ON MY XBOXC HD TV hahaha it makes killzone look liek a ps1 game hahah wait till u see the hd clips hahahahahaha your mouth will drop hahaha=)

[THC CELL]

mesh1 u clown

U are saying gears is better lol

Killzone is still alpha stage and its sh!tting all over gears 2

i have not seen 1 frame rate problem on killzone YET

Gears 2 Is no better than gears 1
That means in my book
Gears 1.5

Killzone well people say it looks like call of duty How fking sad are u man

X box this is the Last best game u will see Enjoy
because it looks Crap

[poos3]

hahah ayou see whata consope can do 2 yers of devolpemnt and it looks better thana game that has been in dev for 4 years what a joke this game no were looks like gears of war 1 not to mention it looks better than the ki;llzone vids which were better quality hahaha gears have shown u noobs wait and see the response this game is goty 2008 hahahah gears look much better than killzone and killzone is 1st person everything seems larger but gears still makes it look soooo bland

[green]

Fantastic.It is way better than Gears 1.

[bootsielon]

He looks like another person, and not like a f4g anymore.

[jacobdevos]

and you guys are f*cked if you dont think this game looks AWESOME.

for the kz2 comparison, just because that game looks so exceptional doesn't mean it will be better, it is safe to say that a game that plays as well as GOW(1) will have a much harder time being LESS fun with a sequel. KZ2 on the other hand has to really redeem itself

now dont get me wrong i think kz2 looks like it'll be one of the best titles on ps3 for a long time but that doesn't have any place here.

the lighting is better foresure, look at that soft shadow on the plane flying in above the trees, awesome

here's what i learned though
a) GOW2 looks like GOW on a ship.
b) GOW2 is amazing with geometry instancing, seeing that many enemies on the screen was groundbreaking for me
c) GOW2 completely stole the Matrix's squid looking enemies, and in my eyes loses some credit for that, don't copy stuff that blatantly guys!
d) GOW2 looks amazing, i really hope they keep that framerate too, because it was liquid.

[Close_Second]

...the best looking titles on any console. GOW2 looks set to continue that tradition. However, my biggest complaint with GOW still applies to GOW2...last gen-AI and gameplay. Refer my earlier comment to see what I mean.

[Defectiv3_Detectiv3]

WZUP my fellow PS3 owner, I'm a sac native so it goes w/o saying I'm a ravid deftones fan...

Anyways, why so hard on KZ2, if anything this game has only managed to exceed ppl's expectations. Everyone's trying to call it out on anything they can but one thing is for sure, Guerilla delivering on the 2005 trailer was a collective slap to the face of all the naysayers.

[kewlkat007]

good post, that's all it is really.

After 4 years of dev you expect kz2 to be leaps and bounds form their last gen console game but what about the gameplay?

At least in gears we are expecting a better game then the first and with this little teaser it already seems way better and they are not even done.

[jacobdevos]

deftones own.

[NinjaRyu]

FUC*in great!

[ps3 is my champion]

meh

[Dark Collosis]

Only thing that looked great on KZ2 was the damn gun you hold.. Everything is looked not much better than COD4.. I details and enviroment has NOTHING on this game that i have seen.. WAKE UP FANBOYS... Not to mention the scale of battles...

[thewhoopimen]

You should just quit right now b/c nobody believes a word that's spewing out of your mouth right now. Killzone2 is to Cod4 as GOW is to perfect Dark.... So just stfu and give up on trying to convince people with brains.

[Aquanox]

Come on guys, stop with the Sony Defense Force Damage Control and admit it. For what has been shown, Gears of War 2 is bringing more to the table than Killzone 2 in the gameplay arena and as for the visuals, they have managed to improve the detail but with brutal action inside, stable framerate, tons of enemies and explosions and vehicles everywhere. This is what a game is meant to be, fun and action packed.

Good job Cliff and Company!

[whateva]

say whatever you want Killzone2 looks way better then Gears of war 2

[xtreampro]

ok this is form the heart and my opinon so please please dont get all crazy on me, the graphix are slightly improved but not much(then again thers still time so dont realy matter), the game game-play however dose kinda look improved but it was crazy and awsome so i'll give it that

[lodossrage]

But fellas, if you think this looks better than killzone 2 then that's the fanboy gene in you talking.

And the only reason gears 2 might not be a system seller is because most of the game's audience already has the 360 due to gears 1 or halo 3.

[mrbillybadass]

killzone 2's current build beats out the e3 05 cgi except the smoke and explosions everything else in killzone 2 beat its cgi in pre-alpha while GeOW2 looks like a top 5 graphical game ever released it doesnt beat killzone 2 dont let ur fanboyism literally ruin ur vision

[PoSTedUP]

it looks like gears 1. gears 1 looks like gears 2 just like halo1 is like halo 2 and halo3 is like halo 1 and 2. microsoft just dosent get it do they? what a rip off, i liked gears 1 too, what a shame.

[Bigbangbing]

i'm sorry but i'm really disappointed
i mean yes its bigger but the graphics didn't change at all except the lighting
and don't get me wrong gears is one of my favorite games

[Marceles]

Seriously the game looks fun as hell, they don't even have to worry about the gameplay and fun factor, it's there by looking at this one video. With all of the Killzone 2 vs. Gears of War 2 discussions I think this is how it stands: KZ2 looks better but gameplay wise it doesn't look more interesting than another shooter...it has nice animations which will be interesting at the beginning of the game, but who knows how long that will last, soon the player will see all the animations and then we have just another shooter. The destructible environments also of course look mind blowing as well as the lighting...just alot of technical feats are incredible. GOW2 looks better than GOW1 and the gameplay looks incredible also, it's just not on KZ2's graphic level...but you would have to be a true fanboy to not give GOW2 its props just because it doesn't look as good as KZ2, the game is gonna be a holiday hit confirmed.

[Ri0tSquad]

The gameplay does look incredible. That's more important as well.

[mrbillybadass]

i dont agree saying that killzone 2's gameplay doesnt look intriguing, but yes kz2 does look better, but GeOW2 deserves MAJOR props for what they're accomplishing

[CViper]

Screw bubbles. You speak the truth and cowards disagree because they cant string together a contrasting opinion. I feel like we have real gamers on this site, and just bottom feeding rabidus-fanboius.

Its mind is convoluted and twisted that it can no longer rationalize or use common sense. 4 legs good, two legs bad. Thats the way it is, and thats the way it always will be to them.

I just hope the # of actual gamers outweighs the people that have invested their souls into one console.

[OOG]

dude on this site the fanboys largely outweigh the actual real gamers on this site and the fact that fanboys tend to post a comment about anything and everything and seem to think they are experts and will lie just to try and make people believe them

*****@ Marceles

O dude i didnt mean you....you made some decent comments .....just the site in general if you look at peoples posts....anyone who has put a positive comment about this game has either as much disagrees as agrees or is totally outweighed by disagrees.....which shows how many fanboys are trolling late at night still

[Marceles]

I didn't mean to say KZ2 doesn't look intriguing, it's just really easy for me to get used to great graphics in games. I don't wanna be amazed at the graphics of a game for a little while and after playing a game halfway be bored of it that's all. I know the guys at Guerrila are working on a great game though, I still play KZ:Liberation...they did a good job of it on PSP and it was one of the best looking games on the system before God of War. But Gears 2 should definitely be fun until February and even longer.

[hamburgerhill]

I think they should force you to comment if you agree or disagree!

[EZCheez]

Indeed.

How can anyone not want to play this?

[Stinkey]

but i like what i see as far as graphics goes this game looks good

[00]

wait to play that level, looks epic.

[OOG]

yes the game does look like Gears but...what else would you expect???? It is a sequel on the same system.....why would you change the look of a game that is suppose to be a trilogy?????

The games scale tho has vastly improved and looks like the fights have become really extreme and not like the last game....

Even tho i dont wanna do this I will a quick Killzone vs Gears comparison.....

Killzone does look really awesome from the latest vid and does seem to beat gears graphically even tho they are going for different looks in the game......

But....Gears has much more detail in their objects and people then killzone...people will disagree because I said something good for gears and this is a 'PS3" site but its true if you played gears 1 and were near all the huge building the level of detail put into everything was astonishing....plus it will be interesting to see the destructible environments

but yea both look good and I dont understand why they are compared over and over again..... but whatevs

****** O lil thing as well I prefer 2 hot games done in less time then 1 hot game so um yea..... dont forget we seen KZ2 b4 we seen gears 1 so....hmmmm

but it will be fun regardless some hot games comn down the road

[Dacapn]

Hahaha he has to pack everything he wants to say into one post. Either way, in terms of graphics, you can put on your fanboy glasses and say Gears 2 looks better than Killzone 2, but no one believes you including yourself. The game is definitely this best looking unreal game out there, but this isn't 2005 anymore. It still looks good but it's dated. It doesn't even come close to Killzone 2.

Gameplay tho looks pretty epic. So if you're gonna argue, argue gameplay, cuz visually it's just straight up inferior to Killzone 2.

[clintos59]

But graphically I still think Killzone 2 looks better. One thing that this video did show that I liked better then killzone 2 though was how they were fighting against that big beast, it just looked crazy, Looks very good though but I think graphically it does look better then the regular gears but the character models still look the same.

I also wanted to mention though even though that did look crazy but its nothing new, just more intense battles with more on screen. Like I said before even with this, is there innovation like they have said with killzone 2? We will have to wait and see what epic has new but from what ive seen everything looks the same but just bigger badder and the only new thing I seen is when he grabs the bad guy and uses him as a shield and shoots back, which mgs has done for many years. None the less this clip was pure bad ass.

[ChefDejon]

thats not the brumak fight

[OOG]

doubt it....dont think they wanna show all the significant parts of their game in its first vid

[the worst]

grey of war 2
i guess thats the best the 360 can push out
i swear it doesn't look no different then part 1

[The Closing]

Some people are just plain stupid. Talking trash before a game is out or without even playing it just because they own one system or another. Living in complete denial must be a strain.

So far this, and Killzone 2 look fantastic. Gears 1 was the best online multiplayer experience Imo, and this one will be just as good if not twice as good. The scale of the battles look as the kids say, "epic."

I don't own a 360 anymore, but I want this game!

[power of Green]

LOL at the PS3 fanboys more intrested in this game than the 360 fans lol. Even a PS3 fanboy posted this video. lol

PS3 fanboys sitting here trolling all night to bash the game before 360 fans can even view it.

[pwnsause]

??? werent you interested in watching KZ2 and commentating on it, you do it all the time you know lmao.

[power of Green]

No one wants to hear it you piece of sh*t stop trolling we know how PS3 fanboys feel about the competition. Leave.

360 fans will wait to see it on their HDTV's.

Why is this thread filled with PS3 idiots?.

[lodossrage]

You comment in ps3 stuff EVERYDAY. And usually with the same, tired, arguments at that.

Nobody is bashing it. It just doesn't look as good as killzone 2 as many of you bots want to believe.

[JVIDICAN]

since when is harry a fanboy? 0_o

[pwnsause]

oh so im trolling now and im also a piece of sh4t after i stated the truth? BTW read my comments on the gamer zone. lmao hahahahahaha, guys its mart alright.

BTW why would I bash a game made by EPIC, ahahahahahahhahahaha

[Breakfast]

Harry's not a fanboy you twat. Call everyone else a fanboy, just not Harry.

[whateveryousay]

You pog are CONSITENTLY in denial.

And truth be told, nothing shows idiocy better than ignorance.

@at the x-f@g below me- are you trying to say you DON'T go to ps3 articles talking random trash?

I'd hardly call my bringing YOUR fanboyism to light "venting". And even with these "lackluster" games, the ps3 has cut down the 360's lead hasn't it?

It's funny how you can call people fanboys when you yourself are a fanboy extremist.

[power of Green]

Holy sh*t PS3 fanboys are so fucin rabid they outnumber 360 fans in 360 threads attacking 360 fans in them. WTF is wrong with you people you need help that can't be mentally healthy.

Coming in here to vent because of Sony's lack luster games, all their delays and flop 2008 lineup.

[Clinton514]

"Pale" now. How come?

[pwnsause]

LMAO @ The Mart. This guys is funny as hell folks.

[Ri0tSquad]

Why can't you just make a regular comment? Why worry about the PS3 fanboys all the time? Lol, this is the biggest 360 exclusive this year, I'm assuming your a fan of the Xbox 360, Microsoft doesn't pay you to do this, and instead of commenting on how great this game looks on your favorite console, your commenting on the PS3 fanboys. POG, that's pretty lame.

"Coming in here to vent because of Sony's lack luster games, all their delays and flop 2008 lineup."

You talk about the PS3 and the fanboys more then anyone else on this site.

[Tmac]

It's sad to see such a person lose grip on reality. Like I mentioned earlier I seriously believe you need help power of Green. You reject all facts, claiming statements as Killzone 2 gameplay was CGI and your right, the graphics are so good it's CGI.

[tatotiburon]

once again GOW will rule, GOW2 will have the better reviews and will sell like hell

[Meus Renaissance]

Gameplay wise it looks amazingly fun. I dont think it comes anywhere near KZ2 visuals but I wamt to play Gears 2 more than KZ2 judging from how epic that level is. Seriously the first game was amazing fun, especially Online co-op.

[OOG]

been so long since I played gears I never even remember the online co op which was really fun.....only way I actually liked playing the single player....good way to share the experience

[etownone]

being that KZ2 is dated for 2009, why compare them?

the match-up also the rematch between ReFOM2 and GeOW2.

NEXT YEAR, it will be KZ2 up against what will most likely be revealed at E3 2009, Peter Jackson's HALO chronicles... :)

[Bigrhyno]

I am more interested in seeing what they have in multiplayer. It looks like vehicles are going to play a bigger part in the single player, but if they add ANY sort of vehicles in the multiplayer then the game is essentially ruined. I am impressed by the video but Epic's forte isn't single player So I need to see the multiplayer options. This also is not a system seller because if you are a Gears fan then you already have a 360.

[PoSTedUP]

im curious about what all the hype is about. and that just goes to show that microsofts franchises dont improve from the start, look at halo, same sh*t, all 3 of them. i thought gears 2 was going to be something spectacular from what i herd from you guys. its hard not to be disappointed when you a fan of the 360 knowing that you guys were depending on this game n all. im just glad ima sony fan. i would kick sony in the balls if they pulled that crap on me. enjoy. (o and im not hateing im just the only one that isnt blind)

[OOG]

funny I like both systems and I can see the flamebait in your post....and I dont even need to compare/prove anything because your post already proves how biased of a fanboy you are.....

[captainjy]

Translation:

I really wish I would have bought a 360, but instead, I decided I would just keep the POS3 that my grandma bought for me. Damn, Gears 2 looks 3 times better than any of the shooters on my POS3 Bluray movie box, but that's ok because I can cry away my sorrow in Home if it ever does come out. When I am finished sobbing, I can go find Trophies because that's all there is for me to do on PSN.

[Xbox is the BEST]

wait to download this in HD. Did you guys saw how fluid this game is in motion?
Edit : I got a disagree for what? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

[PoSTedUP]

every game looks good nowa days, its just sad to see a decent franchise repeat its self over and over again, microsoft has a bad habit of that, halo anybody?

[BestGamerAlive]

killzone 2 owns all just like PS3 owns all WE THE BESTTTTTTTTTT WE GLOBAL NOW PS3 runs the gaming industry 33 days till goty comes out gears sucks hands down sorry broke box fans

R2 destroys geow2 anyways so gears aint even close 2 the level of killzone2 the graphical powerhouse only possible on the gaming powerhouse PS3 the BEST SYSTEM ALIVE ALLMIGHTY CELL

I think Gears2 will be better than Res2, out of the footage that was recently released for both games Gears was more impressive.

Res2 will have the better campaign mode(2 different stories - single player and 8 player co-op campaign) but GeoW will have better online, and that's what its all about.

Now, KZ2 on the other hand, is in a league all of its own. This level of character animations and effects have never been done b4 on a console. KZ2 also has its own cover system that looks highly effective. They had a clip on ign where they were actually able to turn up the difficulty level and even w/ the player using cover he still got taken out.

I also got to say that the destructable environemts in KZ2 look more impressive from the footage I've seen of a Bridge and a Building being taken out. Now we haven't see the in game destruction of gears2, but from what we have all seen from the tech demo's it is no where near the level of KZ2 destruction.

So the question is did I hurt your feelings? Because your the one being defensive about my post.

[green]

I have no idea why Sony fanboys are comparing this game to Killzone2?Killzone 2 is a spring 09 title while this is just 6 months away.This game is going up against resistance 2 not killzone2.

Soon Warhound will be revealed,comparisings between the 2 will start,the game will launch on 360 and you guys will still be ........

WHY?

Shane Kim is speechless...G@yers 1.5 looks like garbage up against Slayzone 2! Poor in denial Xtards,disagree with us all you want,it won't change the fact that Killzone 2 absolutely CRUSHES Greys Of War 2 totally ranging from gameplay to graphics and most likely online,Jump Out Or Miss Out,the choice is yours Xtards!

And the ownage doesn't end there tards,what other game are you douches looking forward to playing this year? Banjo? Shane Kim is LHFAO!XD

[funkysolo]

Gears1 was the best multiplayer until COD4 but gameplay wise I can't wait to try out Killzone2..From the videos it just looks so immersive and just looks right...Before you say GEar1 and gears2 comes out before kz2 just remember how long was gears1. If gears2 was on PS3 i would definitely buy it but Kz2 is my most anticipated game on any system. I like gears but not enough to go out and rebuy a 360 for one game...Kz2 on the other hand just looks like when the 1st time I played gears1...Down load the 720p kz2 video and tell me it doesn't look miles ahead of anything we have seen..

[troylazlow]

It's Sad you still don't have any good games!!!!

[kornbeaner]

Its sad, even in a pro360 story and thread you troll against the PS3.

[Bellic Jr]

alrite. This isnt a bad thing at all and I am Huge Gears fan but one thing is for certain, Epic has DEFINANTLY tapped the 360. Bring on the disagrees but in terms of visuals... Gears 2 doesnt look as graphically advanced over its predecessor as I thought it would and I guess Epic came closer to tapping the 360 than I thought and the simularity in terms of visuals show just that. Evenstill the game is gonna rock and I'm definantly getting it Day 1.

[hamburgerhill]

This looks much better then Part one graphically and it's still to early to say they tapped the 360! Nobody knows exactly how powerful it is so lets just wait and see if anything surpasses this over the next couple of years! I think Rage and maybe even a few other games will look even better then this once they release but time will tell!

[vic_doom]

ive never played GEoW but i wondering if the camera is fixed on shoulder ( like dark sector ) or is it more like uncharted where its back a little?

[Bellic Jr]

Its more like Dark Sector but to a lesser extent. But when your running its pushed back to allow a better view of places to take cover. I can assure you that the camera is excellent and varies depending on the situation but it works very well.

[Daz]

This sites bad on gaers one the fanboys where complaining about not enouth enemys and so on, now gears 2 has more there still not happy.

Only because it exclusive is crap thats why people hate. Need to grow up.

More sony fanboys is this fraed then anyone else. IS bloody obvious what most going to say. THis is better then this because it on my console lol.

JUst enjoy all the games, i know i can but why cant you? To hard? going against the fanboy rules :P

. I like the new chainsaw moves and where is grapped the locust and used him has a shield :P

[Bellic Jr]

I once typed 2+2=4, you would be amazed at how many disagrees I got ;)

[Daz]

lol really :P

[Ali_The_Brit]

Firstly let me say, i sadly own a 360 elite, and sadly own gears 1 (rubish), and play it on a 40" HD tv so i know what im talking about when i say

this looks JUST like gears 1, accept a tiny bit shinier, gears has always looked like its been dragged through sh!t, so much brown its ugly. the fire looks crap and i saw ALOT of blur affects in there

[she00win99]

killzone 2 still looks a lot better, but the gameplay of gears is lot better compared with killzone, i think it's more intense..

[xc7x]

Epic knows how to make awesome looking games,no denying that

Fanboys need to stop with this game console fighting,makes you look like a retard,no really..look what you post and tell me it doesn't,yep see

[PoSTedUP]

OOG i speak the truth, all the stuff i said is actually true weather you like it or not,(thats not being biased) it sounds like you didnt like what i said even when it was true. so it seemed like i hurt your feelings, thats why i said that. thats why you sound like a lil b*tch. i dont like liars theirfor i dont lie. thats why i responded, cause u said i was being biased when i wasent, i was only speaking the truth,your defence is weak! im a fan of the ps3 ya spoiled lil b*tch, you could tell by the way you talk that usa fa**ET, go have your civilized conversations then hom0.

[OOG]

no need to say anything else to you dude your posts speak for themselves......head back to the fanboy train :)

[titobudd]

It will have to be as good as the first game. It will most likely be even better.
I couldn't tell if the chainsaw duels required button mashing. It seems likely that they would. That could become a bit tedious, but the results look satisfying.
Using locust soldiers as shields is a nice touch. I would like to see what they have done with the "curb stomp" mechanic. It's probably been enhanced.
I look forward to playing this game.
I don't understand the constant comparisons by some to Killzone 2. Both games look sweet. Killzone 2 has a hell of a lot more to prove, since the first one was kind of crappy, although I thought the online and offline multiplayer was excellent. Liberation for PSP was great, so hopefully they can translate that isometric view quality to first person. My fingers are crossed.

[Havince]

cant f~ck1ng view it anywhere now

[7h3ultim8p00]

OMFG! Guys, the gamevideos link doesn't do this game justice. YOU HAVE TO GO SEE THE HD VERSION AT GAMETRAILERS! HOLY SHlT!!

EDIT: http://www.gametrailers.com...
fukin AWESOME!!

[kornbeaner]

dude you could've hooked it up with a Link.

[Neonvapor]

Gameplay wise that actually looks like a great game to play, maybe I will have to buy a 360... again.

[Ashton]

but let's not fool ourselves,,,It looks exactly the same as first one with better light engine.

[jaja1434]

Well it's still using the UR3 engine so what did you expect?

[Robearboy]

I cant believe that i am reading comment by people claiming that this doesnt look impressive, me for one just cant wait it looks sweet like chocolate

[Xheratuul]

By the time killzone 2 will come out this GoW 2 will be forgotten as in boredom

[1stKnighT]

OMG!!! Easily the best looking game to date. Gears 2 will seriously pwn!!!! WOW!!

It's pretty amazing that Gears 2 took half the development time than Killzone 2 and it already looks better. Just shows the ease and power of the 360.

[kornbeaner]

again, why even mention the PS3 in a PRO 360 thread, when instead you can talk about this game.

[Whoooop]

It's not looking better than KZ2, but it's looking real good.

[Ashton]

for an 8 Gb game

but don't comapre it to a 50 Gb game

KZ2 is a head above this game in graphics,,,and I am mostly a PC gamer

any ways this thread is about Gears let's not turn it into console wars,,,

[Blademask]

And you think it looks better than killzone2? You are completely insane.

Gameplay looks crazy fun, but everyone has already given it to killzone2 for visuals. Some things even you cant deny.. well you can.. alone.. in your own little make believe world where you onyl have 1 console and cant give props where props is due.

Gears2 looks fantastic, Graphics aren't on par with killzone2. Killzone2 had 4 years of development and is optimized for the ps3. Gears2 has to work on a 360 core.

[hamburgerhill]

This looks just like CGI and much much better then part one in my opinion! I'm going to stay out of the comparison crap because it's really uncalled for and pointless! The people that make these games are human and have feelings just like you and I so think how they feel when they read all the hatred against them when all there trying to do is give us a goodtime and survive! GEOW2 and KZ2 are completely different games in completely different perspectives so there's no point in comparing the two! It's ok for us to share opinions but why must we always have to make personal attacks towards each other like children!

[Honor_in_Armor]

you're right about the isometric-first person view transition. I remember guerilla saying that they were building the game in third-person and then they would switch the game-mode into first person view. They could of did that in KZ: Liberation but the psp design would make controllability frustrating. So if Guerilla take that same recipe from Liberation and input it in KZ2 but in first person mode, than they may end up in better overall game.

But this is not about KZ2.

It's about Gears 2. I see. I like. I'm going to have to play the first one. That also means KZ1, MGS1, MGS2, MGS3, Soul Calibur 1,2,3, awww Fnck!!!

[Havince]

please post a link that i can get to work

[7h3ultim8p00]

http://www.gametrailers.com...

DUDE!! IT'S LIKE AWESOME CHOCOLATE!

[7h3ultim8p00]

Seriously, I will waste a bubble just to say this again:

GO WATCH IT AT GAMETRAILERS. Watch the HD version if you can. The framerate is SMOOOTH like butter. It's just looks incredible. Graphically, it's not as good as Killzone 2, but its VERY VERY close. GO NOW! Go watch it.

http://www.gametrailers.com...

[Havince]

and couldnt find it, jeeez f#cking christ cant even do a small favour like this you need to attend a class in unselfishness

[Whoooop]

Nice indeed....

It looks fun as hell... Visuals are not that much improved, but still it looks better and the creativity EPIC showed in that level was great. All the things happening at once and all the creatures around smashing the ship makes it look like their company name, EPIC. (so cheesy)

Gears 2 will be as good or even better than the first one.

[TomMcBaum]

I guess you really have to like that whole "die, you scum! Kill, kill, kill!" thing more than I do. But then, I'm not an American, and it seems that you American guys just LOVE your guns. And blood. Bang, bang bang, you're all dead. Whee!

[7h3ultim8p00]

Yes, guns. Guns and porn, and rock music and doing high-fives after killing an entire village of insurgents, and bejeweling our guns too.

[GrumpyOla]

"this is not for your location" when i try to download it on xbox live.

[Trekster_Gamer]

Looks pretty darn good, it's a shame of all of the fighting between the console owners. I can care less if it looks better or worse that any game released on the PS3, the truth is I don't own one and don't forsee getting one in the near future so all games on the PS3 are moot to me...

[Obama]

Gow2 will be a very fun game but grahpic wise it got nothing against killzone2. You must be a bot named Hillary if you think it looks better kz2.

[tatotiburon]

funny is that the droids compares GO2 with kz2, kz2 this, kz2 that, bla bla bla bla and there isn0t any droid talking about Resistance 2 hahahahaha, they already know now that R2 once again lost againts GOW2.

[sephy 9 2 5]

R2's singleplayer yet. Don't worry if it looks like that teaser they'll come by the truckloads.

[Phoenix17]

Is it me or did Gears just steal a creature design from Resistance???
I could have swore that flying creature looked so much like the ANgels from Resistance.. So much for original & epic BullSH!t They are now stealing creature designs from Insomniac & they are gonna eventually steal weapon designs sooner or later becuz they can't think of anything themselves except those locust which to me look more like human mutants so yea... not anything really interesting here... Good luck when u face against Resistance 2 Gears especially in online comparison & Creature & weaponry Creativity JULY 13 U will see how much more intense Resistance2 is gonna be compared to this video. Just wait & see

[green]

Yes it is you because those creatures appeared in Gears 1.

[MyNameIsNotRick]

Yes... It's you. Those creatures were in the first gears. They weren't copied. But you have never played it so you wouldn't have known.

green...You beat me to it:)

[Marceles]

yeah Phoenix probably hasn't played Gears, if he has then he never got to the end...but yeah, i gotta shake my head on that comment...Phoenix clearly never paid attention to Gears 1. You don't even see the Angels in Resistance until the end of the game, so you definitely spent more time on Resistance than Gears..you don't see the flying creatures in Gears until the end also but it's a shorter game than Resistance...anyways lol that was funny because you sounded so sure that Resistance copied Gears

[Xheratuul]

lets not compare this game to killzone 2 for killzone is way beyond gaming. let us wait for resistance 2' s world premiere gameplay trailer this june, not the one from playstation day. This is the one to compare.

[green]

10mins = 42 comments
2hours = 229 comments

I think that its safe to say that this will be the 2nd best selling games of the year.

[Ace Ventura]

your so smart!

I doubt it.

[rowdy 1]

This absolutley awesome. I'm gonna hav efun with this one. I hav ePS3 and 360, so I'll be loving it come november. GReat job epic

[FreedomReign]

Out of curiousity how many here are currently employed and working in game development? This game pushes more textures, that game has better shadows, the details, draw distance, AI, etc. etc. etc.

Way to suck the fun out of the experience people.

The bain of the gaming industry is the lot of armchair analysts that fill every blog, and every news item with "expert" opinion.

I came to see the video I saw it, and now I'm trying to find excitement for a great game, and as usual find 90% of the comments off topic, granularly critical, obtuse, and confusing.

Does anyone spend more than 5 seconds analysing the CG in Hollywood movies?

Like many have said before enjoy the games, all of them, for every system, and unless you have a portion of your 401K or are otherwise dearly invested in Microsoft, or Sony. Arguing over which unreleased exclusive game is better, undermines the creative process and propagates negativity adnauseum.

This bickering is holding back the game industry from being completely accepted by the general public. How many are all but willing to put their money down, but frightened by all the FUD surrounding each system?

Maybe a one console future is the way to go after all.

/rant

[mistertwoturbo]

Way to try and sound really smart using words that aren't even necessary. lol

[FourtyPoundSteak]

I own both systems so you guys can argue all u want about what games look better lol.. I'll be playing them all. Why only have one when you can have the best of both worlds.

O and btw, GoW2 looks like Gears 1.5 but i played gears so much i cant complain. Im getting it hands down and ill get killzone.

[JokesOnYou]

ha ha all the sony folks here to downplay Gears(well most of them), theres no denying the game looks amazing, the lighting, textures, and the enviroment are all looking even better than the original Gears, which btw STILL is among the best looking games on any console. K2 looks great but Gears2 graphics are just more dramatic, the texture work has improved, the color looks great and the details are awesome. damm I watched it 5 times, hell yeah! wow, me and my buds are going to have a riot playing this game! 'cause seriously most important of all the gameplay looks like its been turned up BIG TIME, Did you see all that action? Did you see him take the locust hostage, unload on another locust then take him to the side and snap his fckn neck! ha ha hell yeah, the game plays like a hollywood action movie. Sweeeeeet. Obviously Gears2 has been my most wanted game for a long time even before I saw this vid, (I loved the first one of course) and not that I ever doubted Gears2 would be great but this just confirms that Cliffy is listening to the fans and going all out to make Gears2 even better than the original on every level. OK whatever, I'm just really excited right now, I'm going to watch it two more times, maybe 3 and then go to bed.

JOY

[FKN Unbelievable]

Yes MGS4 Will be a system seller so say something that we don't know.
Now to say this game won't be a system seller is some straight up Corny Fanboy sh1t. Ok so there are 100 locusts on a screen and they may be running at nothing but the simple fact you can shoot them is a big plus. Believe you me if they all paid attention you would be dead. Matter of fact i don't think they had Burners to clap at you with anyway. I like that cool new feature i seen marcus pulling off like Human shielding into a Neck snap. Hey Snake did and its sold the whole MGS1 game. For all of the few people who missed GOW they will be playing this day one. You can automatically count the 4 million who copped it already.MS will pull out all of the stops to advertise this game. Can you imagine the new commercial song this year? Cliffy Looked like he ate really good off of Gears 1. ?HE got a little pot belly from counting them 1's he seen.

Any this game will be huge and sell. GOW campaign was good as hell to bad the online got repetitive to me a little.This will be one game that reminds us bigger is better.

[JokesOnYou]

"Ok so there are 100 locusts on a screen and they may be running at nothing but the simple fact you can shoot them is a big plus. Believe you me if they all paid attention you would be dead."

pffft lmfao....

btw "FKN Unbelievable" great name for this site.

JOY

[SEiGHTan]

To all the people saying 'this is just Gears 1 with more detail'. Duh, if I wanted to play something different I'd go and buy a different game! What we want is a game that is very similar to the first, but with better graphics (not important and probably not easy to better), a slight change to weapons etc (nothing radical), new and improved campaign, and vastly improved online (which is where it's mostly at anyway). This looks like it's shaping up just great!

Remember - when you have a successfull franchise it's about evolution, not revolution...

[mistertwoturbo]

Sometimes I wish it was revolution and not just evolution. IE: Halo 2 to Halo 3. They sure did need more revolution than evolution for that game.

[BLaZiN PRopHeT]

its amazing how i see more sony fanboys in here than i do MS.

[vilanova]

the ligth and color is beatiful,not good how KZ2,however much fun,KZ2 looks great but fisics is weak

[InMyOpinion]

The video looks much better over at gametrailers.com.

The game looks sick. It looks like CGI, with smooth framerate and all. Best looking game so far this gen.

I see Sony fanboys are more jealous than ever. Trying everything to downplay the fact that Gears of War 2 is the best looking console game announced this far. Not the first time this happens =)

[Ace Ventura]

NO. It's just not. That dosen't look as good as Killzone 2. period.

[Figboy]

Gears of War 2: Showpiece for the 360

Killzone 2: Showpiece for the PS3

end of story.

why compare them when they are never going to appear on the "rival" platform?

personally, i'm not a Gears of War fan. i just didn't like the first one. graphically, it was AMAZING, especially at the time of it's release, but i didn't care about the story or characters. they were bland cliches.

in truth, i've played Gears of War for longer than i've played the original Killzone.

my biggest gripe with Killzone on the PS2 was that i didn't like how slow the character moved. i liked the story and atmosphere of the world, but the truth is that the concept was beyond what the PS2 could do at the moment.

i LOVED Killzone: Liberation on the PSP. it showed me that, yes, Guerilla Games does indeed have talent, but they let their ambition get in the way of rational thinking with the original Killzone.

everything i've seen of Killzone 2 leads me to believe that they've learned a lot between the three games, and they actually have the technology to meet their ambitions.

i'm reserving judgment on Gears 2, because i'd like to see more, or get my hands on it, before i decided if i'm going to pick it up for my 360 or not.

i think it looks really good, just a bit much like the first in the gameplay department, but honestly, WHY is that being taken as a bad thing? God of War 2 was a LOT like the first, but it improved upon it in subtle ways, as well as story and character. this is our first real taste of Gears of War 2, and it bodes well for the final game. i'm looking forward to seeing how this progresses.

and for the fanboys out there; it's Gears of War 2 vs Resistance 2, Round 2, not Gears 2 versus Killzone 2. Resistance and Gears released during the same month. one title was a launch title, the other was a second generation 360 game. granted Gears 2 is a, what, third/fourth gen 360 game, but you can kind of count Resistance 2 as a third gen PS3 game, since Ratchet and Clank Future was Insomniac's second PS3 game, and it used the same engine as the Resistance engine, with some obvious tweaks.

Killzone 2 can be compared with whatever else Microsoft has in it's stable. i think Resistance wants another round, now that the playing field is even. i think it's only fair, considering the complete REAMING the first one got by the press because, *GASP*, a launch title doesn't look like a second generation title!

[mistertwoturbo]

I agree, it's more of a Gears vs Resistance battle. Gears 1 was the victor by a great margin. I have to say Gears is one of my favorite video games of this generation. Still love the original. But to be honest, I had super high expectations graphically (because of the hype) for Gears 2 and it didn't meet them. I'm sure it's going to kick plenty of butt and all, but judging by these videos I just don't feel the same excitement as I did for the first. I don't know why. Graphically it's clearly better than the first, great lighting, great textures, great animations. But for some reason it just doesn't have the same feeling as when I saw Gears of War 1.

[THC CELL]

& i can say that is no better than gears 1 lol

HOW Crap

This game looks like KA KA

GEARS 1.3 for the win NOT lol

Killzone for the win by a million miles

[predator]

Return of the King!!!

[tompoulo]

This game is gonna rock!!! Big fan of the first game!!! Are we gonna see any other gameplay soon of "gears of war 2"?? I seriously wanna see more...

[jackwei22]

I hope Gears II is longer this time on X360, because they made the campaign slightly longer on the PC Version.

Anyway i think this game will be probably have better gameplay than Killzone, however graphically Killzone will probably be better nonetheless Gears of War II may overall may overall be better game. I dunno i just hope the game is longer and has loads of new features thats all.

In terms of enemies don't you think there a big difference between the Helghast and Locusts?

[THAMMER1]

All I have to say is D@MN.

I'm Sorry but it is time for SONY fans to relax. The 360 is on its 3rd lap and the PS3 is still getting off the starting line. I'm glad 360 games speak for them self. You people are becoming increasingly pathetic in your attempts to downplay the XBOX360. Just incase you have not noticed the PS3 has no new I.P. on the level of GEARS of WAR 1 or 2.

Great job EPIC. Love the bigger badder Gears of war2. Is it me or did that video seem to be running a 60fps. NICE !!! BABY!!!

[QuackPot]

Microsoft didn't make Gears of War. Epic did.

Most of xbox 360's exclusives are made by other developers.

And the thing is...

games are software meaning they could have, if the boys at Micro$oft hadn't paid big bucks, been written for the Ps3 - and been just as good.

So you get excited about a piece of hardware, I'll get excited about a piece of software - which ever console it's on.

Gears of War 2 is mighty fine indeed. Should satisfy the fans.

BTW

The biggest IP for the Ps3 this year will be ** LittleBigPlanet ** This game is going to be huge and attract alot of casual gamers and new buyers of the Ps3. GeoW2 won't attract alot of new buyers of the 360. Gears will be like Halo3 and get alot of sales from the fanbase....who have 360s already.

Enough said.

[Jake2000]

it's more of the same, it wont have the impact GoW1 had...this game will be R2's shadow, resistance offers so much more -

[Space_cancer]

Un-fvking-believable.

[Jake2000]

NOTHING compared to K2

[tomfoolery]

Sony weed Jake2000 LOLOL@you.

[thor]

The graphics look very clean, lots of stuff happening on screen, it may look similar to gears 1 but OMG there are so many enemies on screen! It doesn't look very _realistic_, but then, that's not the look they're going for and it does look very nice indeed. I think we have reached a stage where it's hard to point out graphical flaws except in terms of art style and how photorealistic it is; in terms of detail and number of enemies on screen we're pretty much there...

[Nadine Coyle]

potroling thats why.
the sony'defence force'as it is known round here(please do not take this a fanboy comment)seems that they are trying to take the hype and put a downer on things.

why?

xAAA GAME NOW.

CANT WAIT.

AND TILL ALL YOU HATERS OUT THERE EVERYONE ON BOTH SIDES GROW UP.
BECAUSE YOU DONT KNOW A GOOD GAME WHEN YOU SEE ONE.

JUMP IN & PLAY BEYOND

[Sangria]

I'm not here to make negative comments and my question is not here for flame bait or whatever, just for my personal knowledge: why Gears Of War is so much appreciated? I mean, what makes GeoW special?

I've never played 1st GeoW and that video didn't make me over-enthusiastic. So why do you all love GeoW?

[anh_duong]

true gamers will both look forward to BOTH resistance2 and gears. i am actually impressed by gears. there is good innovation in effects and gameplay. competition is great. if some fanboys had it their way there would be no competition and we would all still be playing wolfenstein on clapped out 8bit consoles.

[Rybnik]

Ok, here is the thing. Technically, the graphics as a whole, show much more diversity than anything we have seen in KZ2 so far, however, the effects are WAY better in KZ2; explosions, lingering thick smoke, and filters are on a level entirely their own--even some of the graphical shaders.

With that out of the way, this is definitely a sizable improvement over Gears 1, and I can't wait to finally fight a Brumak as opposed to just watching Delta squad run away from it....Good times ahead folks!

[titntin]

OK - a bit more of the same with some more polish and some sweet game play tweaks. Count me in - the first was a blast! :)

Gears always looked great and this is no exception, but I do find the UT engine look a bit over-used, and whereas the first one was the finest looking game on a console at its time, I'm not convinced that this will be - but hey, thats a subjective opinion. I wish they put a bit of colour in the characters, if you ignore the backgrounds its almost monochrome (as my wife just pointed out as we watched the vid).

Can't wait to see some more videos though. I'm never keen on 'rail' levels, so some free play using more duck and cover will rock my boat more!

I fully expect them to deliver one of the games of the year - and this will sell millions.

edit.
For those moaning about people comparing graphics, please remember, this is a site for fans to look at upcoming games and discuss what they see. No one has played many of these titles - graphics is what we have to compare, and we can only imagine the game play!

Roll on September!

[thereapersson]

I got so sick of playing vs RAAM in the first Gears and having dumbass Dom run out like a moron and get killed in the first 7 seconds of the battle. He wasn't even a good bullet sponge!

Game looks good, but not eye-poppingly revolutionary. This is not such a bad thing, however, due to the first games' tried and true formula of cover-based shooting action. Oh, i'll be buying this game for sure, but it just doesn't quite have the WOW factor that the first game did.

PS, i'm just nitpicking here, but what's up with the fire in the explosions? People complained about the explosions in the Killzone 2 trailer? Psssh!

[transientsix]

First of all I think that there is a lot more going on visually in Gears of War 2. The colors are much more vibrant and the backgrounds featured in this video were quite impressive. Say what you will about this game, but graphically it is fantastic. Killzone impressed me as well and it's a game I am looking forward to as well. But I would like to know how any of you posting on here can say that this game has nothing going for it that it is essentially Gears of War 1 and so on. Some of you are making comments that the backgrounds are very 2 dimensional and that the combat looks dull and scripted. None of you have played this game nor have any of us played KillZone. But the conscensis seems to be that Killzone is a much better game. How? How can you be so sure? I would just like to see more intelligent posts on here, don't get me wrong I find this flame war as entertaining as the next guy but please back it up with some substance. Know I know this rant was a little long and I appreciate those who took the time to read this. And before you ask I am a proud owner of an Xbox 360 Elite, a PS3 (60 gig model), and a Nintendo Wii. I enjoy the 360 the most right now do to it's extensive library and most of my friends are on xbox live. I am still a fan of Sony, and their great exclusive titles like Uncharted Drake's Fortune and Metal Gear just to name a few.

[Juevani]

looks nice gameplay wise, nice action goin on (5 vs you) the video has a nice start with all the plains flyin and fightin around.. the jungle looks nice..
graphics kinda the same as gears1, maybe better colors?
100 enemies on screan?? where? the one ur just passing by??

anyway, i still prefer KZ2, Uncharted2, Mass Effect 2 and many more..

[shysun]

It looks more or less the same but that's not a bad thing. I loved the first one but this one still wont get me to buy a 360.Fix the damn RROD already!

[shysun]

and 360 owners bash KZ2 for it's lack of color! :(

[kewlkat007]

it was PS3 only owners that bashed the first Gears for it's color choice and now they are now saying the same thing 360 gamers been saying about these types of games.

Don't be ignorant...brah, remember Gear of War 1 already came out.

[transientsix]

First of all I would like to comment on the visual fidelity of this game it truely looks amazing. Those who are looking can clearly see the graphical improvements over the first Gears of War. The main reason for this post is to address many of you who are suggesting that this is just Gears of War 1, and that the visual effects such as backgrounds are 2 dimensional which makes the game linear. Some comments were also made on how the number of enemies on screen aren't that impressive and perhaps seem scripted. Also that Killzone looks much better graphicslly and that Killzone will be the much better game when it ships. How? I would just like to know how anyone could know this?I have seen the Killzone gameplay videos and I have to say they look phenomonal. But I wouldn't hazard to guess which is the better game without having played either of them. I appologize for the rant and appreciate those who took the time to read this, for I am just trying to adjucate more intelligent responses from some of you. If your going to say one game is going to be much better than the other please back it up. Offer substance not a biased comment because you favor one console over the next. I am a proud owner of an Xbox 360 Elite, a PS3 (60 gig model), and a Nintendo Wii and enjoy all 3 consoles.

[tordavis]

Why compare it to Killzone 2? GOW2 is 3rd person and KZ2 is 1st person. Compare KZ2 to COD4. If KZ2 is so badass, then it will blow COD4 away. Let's wait for that. But for now, enjoy GOW2.

[titntin]

Why?

Because both titles are expected to be ambassadors for the very best graphics the console can offer of course!

A huge proportion of the readers of this site love to 'have a go' at one machine or another, and having just seen all the in game HD Killzone 2 footage, theres no question this footage was released in response.

You can only compare visual fidelity from such videos of course, and infer what the game play will be like, so graphic comparisons are inevitable.

For my money, MS should have waited another week when the KZ2 footage was not fresh in peoples minds. Nice as this is, from a technical point of view its simply not close, and a lot of us have played UT3 which is already a technical improvement on the GOW engine.

However, it does look fine and we are all excited because it has a pedigree of offering excellent game play married to the great engine! KZ2 does not have that pedigree, and so still needs to prove itself in that department, no matter how technically proficient it is..

But the technical comparisons were absolutely inevitable and expected!

[QuackPot]

Different type of shooters not just 3p vs fps.

Grears gameplay and graphics are exaggerated and extremely Gung Ho whereas Killzone is just standard combat.

Killzone should only be compared to the undisputed king of all shooters, COD4.

[transientsix]

First of all I would like to say that the graphical fidelity in this game is very impressive. But that is not the reason for this post, as I would like to address some of the other comments made about this video. Now some remarks were made on how the visuals are static by stating that the backgrounds are 2 dimensional creating a linear experience. Also that the amount of enemies on screen were not as impressive for it felt very scripted. Many comments were made on how Killzone looks better graphically and that the game will be a much better product when shipped. How? I mean how can any of us no this? I have seen the Killzone gameplay videos and I thought they were phenomonal! But I wouldn't hazard to guess which game is superior without having played either game. Now I am a proud owner of a Xbox 360 Elite, a PS3 (60 gig model), and a Nintendo Wii. I enjoy all my systems and the exclusive content that each one offers. I appologize for the lengthy rant but would like the opinions on here to be backed up with more substance and intelligence. Not just biased posts because some of you prefer one console over the other. Again thank you to those who took the time to read this post.

First: GREAT IN GAME ACTION, I WANT TO PLAY THAT!!!! Oh, and great looks too!!

While maybe familiar looking, both games (Killzone 2 and GeOW2) manage to perfectly convey different feelings and atmospheres. On one hand, KZ2 is incredibly realistic at bringing this modern warfare aspect, with guerrilla type combat. On the other, GeOW manages to (in a way astonishing to the same extent IMO) concentrate more on a gruesome and more gorish approach at a struggle for human kind. GeOW will feel more personal at a 1 vs 1 fight having tons of close hand to hand (or chainsaw to chainsawcom :P) combat.
As for the graphical prowess... I think they both achieve an almost equal level of excellence in design and rendering quality. They are slightly different approaches at very similar concepts. GeOW2 will probably feel less of a "surprise" as it is a sequel to a very VERY high standard, but I DO feel it improved in a good amount.
KZ2 looks more of a novelty, being a first and isolated next gen release.
If you ask me, both games have an almost equal amount of graphic complexity and development (just pick your favourite) and both will deliver an exceptional experience: bare in mind, where killzone 2 is here to set a new standard for PS3, GeOW is confronted with the task of steping up an already high one (gameplay formula and graphicwise).

Pick the one for yur system, you will be incredibly happy. Or, if you can, get both!!! You will be RIDICULOUSLY hapy :D

[The Dark Side]

The Force is stong in this trailer, but it is not a match for the PS3, In 12 months time the xbox 360 will be destroyed by the power of the Dark Side. It will take more than Gears of War to stop Sony's take over. Than once we take over the Xbox 360 we will destroy the Wii and than the videogame console universe will be ours.

LOL with evil voice.

[kewlkat007]

seems so much faster and more fluid. You really do not waste time chainsawing.

Haha..anyone know what percentage they are at this game?

I'm sure there are more surprises.

Can't wait.

[theyellaboi44]

The funny thing about most of these comments is that the same ppl that are talking crap about the game will end up buying it lmfao

[liquidsnake]

Seriously, the game looks really cool but I really couldn't see that much of a difference between GeoW1 and GeoW2. And to think this game will beat KZ2 graphically is just naive.

[InMyOpinion]

The only physics I've seen displayed in Killzone 2 are breakable tables. So next gen...

[pwnsause]

Jenzo, here, let me help you out BTW this is offscreen and not direct feed http://www.gametrailers.com... see the physics?

[Rocko]

Gears of War 1 and 2 will both be out before Failzone 2, even Resistance 2 will beat it. Its remarkable how you f@gdroids can sit there and defend this sh*t game. 4 years...4 goddamn years, a budget over $60 million and a 120 member dev team. For what?, to make it look like the fakeass 2005 trailer. You better pray to G*D this game does well because if it doesn't you and Sony will never live it down. Not to mention Guerilla Games will be finished.

[CurlyFries]

It seems that the only people commenting are fanboys trying to defend there console. I am definatly getting Killzone 2. If I had 360 I would get GOW2 it looks awesome but from what I just saw that gameplay isnt that appealing since it is rail gameplay wheres the freedom like Halo 3 had. Yes Killzone 2 you may not be able to go many places but rail gameplay is the crappest. Also yeah there may be more levels but God dont developers learn. Killzone 2 may be crap GOW2 may be crap you'll just have to wait and see.

[QuackPot]

Definite buy for me.

However...

The scenes we've just seen, spectacular as they are, are just a variation of the train scene at the end of Gears of War. But bigger and badder beasties attacking.

Food for thought.

[pp]

sony fan girls are in shock because they couldn't believe gears of war 2 could look better than kill zone 2 thats why they have to try there hardest to down grade gearso war 2,also i'll mention killzone 2
gameplay will be only 6 or 8hrs long

[pwnsause]

??? lol, pp is in denial

[Vino]

Gameplay looks cool.

[jspc1989]

just to make sure that is allowed right im not breaking any sort of console law am i pmsl.

graphically i have to say im very impressed as even tho killzone looks smoother i personally think that GEoW2 looks more detailed, but thats just me so dont bite my head of about that.

just to clarify that u people do know theyre 2 different types of shooters right? 3rd and 1st person. id say that mixes things up a bit for the fact that they both look awesome but theres also a detailed character model to take into account in GEoW 2 thats on screen constantly. i know its not a major issue but it does contribute. then theres the dev times lol. gears 2 about 2 years probs and killzone 2 double that.

cant wait to get my ps3 in sept/oct though, MGS4 :-D (yes i know im sad). im very much looking forward to both games though, and every1 sed 2008 wudnt deliver after 07 lol. personally i cudnt be more excited, come the end of the year im not gona hav time to c my girfriend lol. between uni and gaming ill hav to squeeze everything else in somewhere lmao.

p.s. just to make a side note here, i mite be wrong but does any1 else notice that this site is filled of 12-16 year olds. in my experience newer gamers who only reali got into it the gen or last gen are the graphics whores. older gamers appreciate everything from great gameplay to immersion to storyline and fun factor lol. i mean im only 19 myself but saying that iv bin playin games since i was like 4 back on atari and nes so i think i can be qualified as a retro gamer :-D

peace out! x

[beavis4play]

why would they show a basic rail shooting level for their first trailer? came across as meh. didn't like the fact that you were on an island(the derrick) and couldn't go anywhere. again, why would they use this as their first trailer? should have used part of level where they will be fighting many enemies at once. also, they should have showed a more interactive looking chainsaw duel. what they showed looked very scripted. i also thought the characters looked kinda "flat". their was some better detail in the locusts faces compared to the first game. i guess we'll have to wait till the next trailer to see marcus on the ground and able to move through a level instead of be chained to one area to get a better idea of the gameplay. this felt kinda boring. (been there and done that)

[Vino]

Why do fanboys have to compare games, I find it funny that the sole reason to a own a console now is to compare graphics, I plan to buy a ps3 and a 360 to get the best of both worlds, for the gameplay factor.

[Eldyraen]

Just downloaded off XBL and for some reason video quality seems far superior to other sources (for the record, I've downloaded from 2 and watched it on another). Differences between first and second GoW are much, much more noticeable. To be honest, gameplay is still pretty much the exact same with a few new tweaks but for first 1.5 minutes of gameplay footage shown it looks fantastic.

Also, take into account this takes place in the very first Act so we've yet to see surprises I'm sure Epic has in store. But seriously, anyone that watches it even on the normal websites has to admit it does look great (technically speaking... I admit Killzone 2 looks 'better' in terms of realism and K2's animation is definately top notch) no matter if you yourself won't be playing it for one reason or another. If nothing else, what little was shown makes GoW2 look much more like an actual war this time around (Brumak and Reapers look fantastic... regular Locust look cool still and you can see couple Boomers in the mass of enemies on the ground).

No, its not the most 'realistic' shooter and its gameplay isn't for everyone but in its own way it is one of the best looking games shown so far and should easily be the best looking game on the console at the very least (until they show Alan Wake perhaps... whenever they do it).

For those that disagree... well that's your right but I and other fans of GoW will more than likely be enjoying ourselves immensely in November if what little was shown extends to other parts of the game. Just want to hear and see some multiplayer though... hopefully alot better customization and better match making this time around.

Granted I'll be enjoying plenty of other games for 360, PS3, PC, etc all through the year as well so I don't have to rely on one possible game to keep me entertained ;)

[hamburgerhill]

I actually have a feeling that Alan Wake is going to blow some socks off with it's realistic eerie world!

[resistance100]

Looking good, still the only game which will make me dust off my 360 this year and looks like it won't disapoint.

[Kaz Hirai]

In fact, I welcome the competition! But Resistance 2 will BURY this and Killzone 2 will EXCRETE on it's GRAVE!

33 days until Judgment Day, Nazisoft!

MWAH-HA-HA-HA!!!

[THE TERMINATOR]

Looks like Geow 1 very disapointing. Killzone 2 is at a whole new level. A generation ahead of Geow 2. Just admit it bots you are disapointed. It just reminded me of how good Uncharted looked.

[juuken]

...That's all?
Killzone 2 still has some amazing graphics.

[micro_invader]

Looks impressive, I think I might pick up a 360 by the end of the year for this.

Although, I still think KZ looks smoother and more realistic but I'm not saying this game is bad, I think it looks fabulous and can't wait for the finished product.

[beardtm]

This will absolutely snap Killzone 2/Resistance 2 both is Game Reviews and in Game sales.

Nothing can compete with the might that is Gears of War

[Ace Ventura]

This isn't 2006 when the PS3 has 5 games and a 500,000 userbase. It's not going to happen and Gears 2 isn't going to even get close to winning GOTY. Keep dreaming.

[The1andonlyAK47]

why dont u sony fanboys give it a break and stop posting crap in here,ur probably just pissed cos theres another great title comin to the 360 exclusively and u cant play it

[achira]

i can play it on pc. can you play resistance 2 and killzone 2 on the pc ? no. btw both look far better than this blurry ut3 clone.

[y0haN]

But I won't even do that. Gears 1 was fun but it deleted all of my savegames when I was almost finished, and you can't just download them again or set a variable to unlock them. я ненавижу вас, Microsoft.

[badkolo]

Nah, I dont think so.

Gamers have been waiting a long time for kz2, it promised laot and now it seems it will dleiver, and people will buy it ndroves as long as a good score comes in. expect kz2 to do well, it seems to be a flagship title.

Granted gears will outsell gears1 and maybe halo3. thats very likely.

The more i think about it I feel epic held back alot in the first gears and when the engine was ready they planned to throw all there ideas into this second one, Why couldnt we fight that gorilla looking monster that we say in the first gears trailer, becuase they held it back. now we get the whole game with much more going on, the color issue is fixed, its bigger , badder and just plain more polished graphicaly. So whats not to like, that level alone and the little we see of it makes me happy knowing it wont be the same gears. Obviously the fighting mechanics are similair but how much do you expect them to change it, until it doesnt feel like gears anymore?? so that logic makes no sence to me, it needs to feel like gears but better with new maps new stages new battles with better graphics and it seems to excell in all areas.

Now i was wrong to pun on killzone2, even if its unproven becuase of the first game, they are obviously working for many years on kz2 and it truly shows, the more i watch the videos from this week the more im stunned, it looks impressive and based on realism it looks better then gears, ill admit it. but gears still looks extremely impressive.

I cant wait for gears followed by kz2 as long as the game is good, thats all that matters.

[ANoobsJourney]

I think they both look great, and each have their own unique features. How about we all get along on this website instead of posting the negatives all the time about great games like these. Have a great day =)

[jackwei22]

I think at the end of the day we should all forward to this and hope its longer and surpasses the greatness of the first Gears of War game. I still play Gears of War online since it rocks. i still think comparing Killzone II and Gears of Wars II is what sends all those fanboyism childish idiots crazy.

Anyway if you have both consoles you can get both games and see, which is better or is your taste. Anyway at the end of the day it is down to personal opinion and both these games haven't been released so won't know, which one is better until next year feb. I still think it is very hard compare these two games yet after some small footage. I think it will be most probably MGS4 vs Gears of war instead and Killzone vs Halo.

[kylegtheassman]

sorry guys but killzone 2 looks better then Gears of War 2

[Tmac]

Unfortunately graphics wise KZ2 really does reign supreme, it literally blurs the line between CGI. Gears of War 2, still looks like Gears of War with a face lift. I have no doubt this game is a huge contender for game of the year.

[Pinionist]

Well, I guess it's not a coincidence that MS/Epic decided to show this video right after we saw Killzone gameplay footage. Result is that when you go to N4G all you see is Gears of War 2 (insert 'comparison','world premiere','analysis' right after the title) plastered all over the main website. Quite bright move from MS side.

But I don't want to share my views here on PR moves, rather I'd like to try to explain how I personally feel about GoW2 and Killzone 2.

Killzone 1 was a first FPS-style game I had a chance to play on a console that I really enjoyed in terms of graphics, eye-candy, immersion , art design (Helghats are one of those enemies you enjoy watching and killing). I spent few days and nights straight playing, and friend of mine (which owned PS2 on which I had a chance to play KZ) saw how I was hooked up and amazed. I agree, when you compare KZ to other shooters (Halo2) it's not superb in terms of online play and had it's flaws. For some, it was a bit dull atmosphere (which I personally enjoyed, because that's how I imagine war between man and Helghast, dirty, depressing, post-apocalyptic, industrialish), for others it was particular things in gameplay. But to me, this particular style of FPS had a great potential, and this potential is mind-blowing in Killzone 2 gameplay videos. When I watch those videos (especially in HD) I think Black Hawk Down on steroids.

Now, let's get back to Gears of War - I'll try to share my thoughts about this game, but mind you, I haven't finished it yet, and I've played it for a limited time during those rare moments at work when you have a time to kill for yourself. When Gears of War showed up on Xbox 360, back when PS3 was just about to have it's premiere, I was at verge on simply going to shop and grabbing Premium edition with Gears and rushing back to home. Meaning, I liked it's design, this immersion and "eye-candyness" coming from screen when I had a chance to play it at stores. But that time is a period when I work almost all day long, so I wouldn't have much time to play and I simply decided to wait until prices come down and of course, when PS3 is going to emerge, so I can compare both. I was of course aware, that media were almost screaming at people on advantages and disadvantages of both systems, yet because part of my work is simple PR business, deep in my heart I know that I needed to test both machines and see how things are for real. Luckily, my friend was a bit more eager to buy himself a console, so instead grabbing PS2 with couple of cheap games, he went crazy and spent all his extra cash on Xbox Premium. So I had a chance to play on this system, and we tested Project Gotham Racing 3, Call of Duty 3 (which didn't impressed me, although I was COD fan). He didn't bought Gears at the time, so I didn't had a chance to test it out, but it didn't matter to me. Xbox although powerful console, wasn't really an option, because when a piece of hardware which is supposed to lay next to whisper less DVD/Audio equipment is operating like a silent vacuum cleaner, I just knew that I don't want to spend my hard-earned cash on it.

And when RROD articles started to come up, I knew my money are going to PS3, especially when my friend imported it from US for crazy amount of money, and showed it to me. I'm not going to spare my typing praising hardware design of Sony's console - it's rock solid, period.
And now, to sum up things - when a publisher decides to sell 'exclusives' to PC, it's like telling me that I don't need to bother buying their console, just wait until next PC upgrade (I usually upgrade every two CPU and GPU generations), and buy it then. I'm just after fresh PC upgrade (which for my suprise runs Crysis in High very well, not to mention games based on UT3 engine), and when I'm done with Crysis, I'm heading for Gears. And I'm planning to enjoy it, although I can't wait for Killzone 2 as well.

Am I waiting eagerly for Gears 2 ? Not really, because, as a 3D animator I can see with my own eyes, that video showed in this post isn't technically as advanced as is Killzone's. It's not as big leap between first GoW as KZ 2 is in comparison to KZ1. Before you guys jump at me on textures/shaders and such - it's something really different when you have limited space, limited geometry (I'm not telling that there isn't much geometry in UT3/Gears, it's just that space where action is happening is quite small compared to Killzone 2. All I want to say is that I believe that truly next-gen FPS/TPS shooter should "crawl" out from corridors and interiors and show what is made of on grand scale of things. Let's gamers have a war zones as big as Omaha beaches in WWII, fully interactive. Let us blow out whole buildings, fight in squads of 30+ soldiers.

If Gears of War 2 would bring that, then I'll would be impressed. If Killzone would bring just a part of it, then WE, gamers win. Otherwise, for a moment of sales domination, progress of games would be forgotten.

[hartcup]

looks a little too grey for my liking : )

seriously tho, it does look amazing, i'd say the gameplay is on par with KZ2, but in KZ i like the way you cant see whats around the corner when you take pot shots, the ai in this looks much better though.
must

quell

inner

fanboy

[Vino]

I don't feel the need to argue about games.

[achira]

looks like gears 1, nothing new. btw looks really similar to ut3 on ps3.

[solar]

now that looked effing fun :D

[solidt12]

The game has improved greatly. I like that you can grab the locust and have a chainsaw fight with them. The Graphics are improved mainly due to more color and not just grey. Killzone 2 has better graphics but I think Gears of War 2 will be a better game. Gears 1 is still one of my favorite games after Metal Gear series. I am excited and can't wait to play this game.

[Ace Ventura]

SWEET!!! It looks really good..and you know this is just one little clip... I'll have it on day one.

The graohics don't look much better than the first... but its the scope of it and the action that look way better, I like it.

Does it look better than Killzone 2>?

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA Just no.

But it will without a doubt be an amazing game, I will have on day one.

[flexbox360]

i loved the first gears of war. and ill definately love this one. those guys know how to make a good game. and its not graphics only, its gameplay thats important. so killzone better deliver in the gameplay department. we all know gears 1 had good gameplay. we knew killzone 1 sucked lol. so i dont want it to be a trend. gears 2 will be bigger and better. i hope killzone 2 will improve in gameplay. PS3 needs a game that people will remember. i dont quite have a fav ps3 game. they all were just ok.

[Boldy]

It looks different and yet feels like the same Gears I fell in love with, great job Epic.

[Jones Miller]

Awesome!

[Ace Ventura]

I dunno it looks good. I thought it was gonna looks better. It looks like Gears 1 a TON.

Killzone 2 KILLS this in graphics.

It's time to see how the actual gameplay/games can stack up.

We know Gears 2 will be a hit... I think Killzone 2 is going to be a MEGA hit also.

This video just reaffirmed my confidence in Killzone 2. You can tell they TRIED to show something really cool for thios video. It still just doesn't look as good as Killzone 2. Not even close. This looks like a cartoon compared to Killzone 2.

Killzone 2 has more polygons in it's guns than this whole level lol

[Tmac]

Lol haha, while that might be an exaggeration Killzone 2 really has brought a whole new meaning to graphics.

[trikster40]

but I am pretty sure that wasn't running on a 360. It is supposed to come out on PC like 3-6 months after 360 if not at the same time, and I am almost willing to bet that's the PC version.

No offense to 360, but when it struggles with the UE3 v1 engine, what makes me think it can do v2 better?

Gears 1 struggled, and Mass Effect struggled badly. Will be nice if it does run that nice though, because that and Fable 2 are the biggest games for my 360 I am waiting on. I just have my doubts.

[Eamon]

lol, you sure you are a 360 owner and not secretly trying to bash the 360. Anyway, the PC version of Gow2 isn't in development so it can't be the PC version, although it may have not been run on the 360 but I very much doubt that.

Also, even if it did struggle with UE3 v1, why would it struggle with an improved version v2?

Gears 1 didn't struggle. I never really experienced major frame rate slowdowns and was always constant.
Other games like Mass Effect used the engine but the game was developed by BioWare not Epic Games. If I am not wrong, Kights of the Old Republic had framerate problems therefore the fault lies on BioWare.

Look at BioShock. It used UE3 engine and always had a smooth framerate.

[trikster40]

I do have a 360, on my 4th one ftw. 2RRODs, sold my 3rd one to a friend, and rebought a 4th with HDMI output. I have played through every major game on the system, granted some not on the 360 but my PC like Bioshock. I rebought GoW on my PC because they put in the things the 360 couldn't do at the time.

And you are aboslutely right, Bioware is such a shoddy developer, of course they can't make games that run smooth with an engine that they didn't create. What was I thinking?

If you don't think this game is in development for the PC, wake up and smell the coffee. Guess what platform they are probably maximizing the game for? Hint: there are no numbers in the platform's name. They won't develop it for the 360 with all the bottlenecks and limitations. They will develop it with the PC in mind where you have DX10 and no RAM limitations.

[Eamon]

Does anybody actually think that KZ2 will be superior to GOW2 in terms of gameplay?

[flexbox360]

nope. killzone 2 will be generic. just another fps

[AngryXbot]

Is this game supposed to be the last savior of the 360, Gears of war 1.5?

Lmao we told you that Gears of Wars 1 already maxed out the 360 in terms of visuals, didnt we?

Did you fools listen? No, too busy listening to radio 360.
Hahaha fools. The hard truth now comes out, aint it.

[Captain Tuttle]

Very intense and lots of fun. The gameplay in Gears is very immersive and this looks like the same. It's the cover system, I think. Somehow it just feels right, like that chunk of concrete you're hiding behind is really keeping you alive.

That's just me though.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

The only other difference between Gears of War 2 and Killzone 2 other than the fact that Gears 2 just destroyed it in graphics, is Gears 2 will be out this fall, in our lifetime. Killzone 2, is being made by the same guys that made the first one, thats it's biggest curse, the second is its freaking gray, the last is it doesnt look like the CGI lie from E3. Gears 2 is a reality and will be played by 360 owners "soon" while PS3 owners get to wait till 2009 for games that were supposed to be out in 2008. What you seen in this video was all gameplay, none of it was a lie, and will still have a few more months of dev time for polish :)

[coxyefc]

i HATE console fanboys so much, they are so narrow minded its unreal. Get a grip of yourselves. I own a PS3 and 360, I will be enjoying Killzone 2 and Gears of War 2, do you know why? I dont care for console loyalty, I care for the games, because great games make people gamers, not the box itself. So for those who fancy Killzone but wont buy a PS3 or those who fancy Gears but wont buy a Xbox because they are loyal to a company who think loves them because they are loyal to their system, they honestly couldnt give a crap about you, if you died tommorow they wouldnt be the slightest bit interested. You console fanboys are the real idiots, do you know why? You miss out on a lot of gaming , great gaming, which all three consoles have provided and will provide in the future. More fool you, idiots.

[Eamon]

emo. LOL

Just joking. I also own a PS3 and 360. And a Wii lol
Actually MS and Sony NEED their fanboys. Casual gamers don't really buy many games or get the console. Fanboys do. Fanboys spend a lot of money on their favourate console.

Loosing fanboys is MS, Sony and Nintendo's worst economic option.

Whats funny is that in this current gen Wii is just out of the war somehow. Its now just 360 vs PS3 mainly.

Well, we all know the Wii is a gimmick. Shame though, with the potential it has.

[Jones Miller]

agree more...

[jkhan]

I am buying this game day one. But the graphics looks the same which is not a bad thing, the game does look sharper & its on a bigger scale. I just hope the game campaign is longer than the first.

[sleepbox]

I had no interest in Gears 2 until I saw this...wow.

[Pika-pie]

Does look pritty sweet. Shame they can bring this game to the PS3.

[LFC1EE]

Honestly GOW2 is much better graphically and visually, come on ps2.3 gamers be truthfull,hoh by the way still can't sell the 60gig ps2.3, because having the two consoles being the xbox 360 and ps2.3 that's exactly what the so called ps3 is, there's no power in it, one game journo said that the ps3 is much better writing code and script not for gaming, another great game developer named gabe newel(HALFLIFE1-2-3 ETC) put it THAT SONY SHOULD START AGAIN.

Plain and simple it's a mess, we haven't seen the so called visuals of E3 2005, why i wonder, because sony lied and there still decieving the sony fanboy, why? because the sony fanboy is stupid plain and simple, there so stupid they can't see what's in front of them, they think a mediaoakere game like kz2 is better than GOW2, and yet sony are afraid to go head to head with GOW2 in the christmas holiday's with kz2, afraid yes, chosing instead to go for a feb release.

[AngryXbot]

you will forever fail at life, my stupid xbot friend.

Hahaha. And comparing CGI like KZ2 with Gears of Wars 1.5, I lolled there for a little.

Killzone 2 is not even possible to do on the 360. GoW1.5 will turn into GOW 2.5 on the PS3.

[BestGamerAlive]

sony is going head 2 head vs queers of war with R2 which will demolish qow2 nathan hale vs marcus the hgh freak

[callahan09]

That game looks really fun. Picking up a bad guy and using him as a shield then snapping his neck and tossing him overboard? I like it.

It reminds me of the train level at the end of Gears 1, with all the moving and stuff, butt he boss is definitely cooler than the boss at the end of the 5th act in Gears 1. That boss was lame.

Anyway, it looks pretty and clean, but there isn't all that much detail in the background and environments. It's definitely pleasing to look at and it looks to me like they changed up the gameplay with enough new mechanics to make it a little bit more than just Gears 1 with a new coat of paint. So this'll be a day 1 purchase for me, most likely.

I can't wait to see some closer-to-complete footage of Killzone 2 and Resistance 2 so we can get an idea of where those games stand versus Unreal Engine 3.5

I must say, UE 3.5 looks glossy and clean and quite nice. I see no reason why this game couldn't be done on PS3, but it's certainly a nice blow to the PS3 that Microsoft secured Gears of War publishing rights. It's a pretty high caliber exclusive.

[Elginer]

that one of the things I really like, the game looks amazingly clean and crisp and a nice frame rate. I think other levels will really show off what the new engine can do. I really don't think this stage was the right thing to show.

[DOOMZ]

GOTY!!!

[Spike47]

xbox360 fanboys are going crazy again.

I love how they treat their games like the next coming just like MS.

Obviously it looks as good or a lil bit better than resistance 2 but killzone 2 looks TONS BETTER THAN GEARS 2.

In the end the PS3 has 2 shooters with one being better at graphics while the other is better in gameplay.

STOP TREATING THIS GAME LIKE IT'S GONNA BLOW EVERYTHING AWAY, IT'S A GOTY CONTENDER JUST LIKE MGS4, RESISTANCE 2, AND gta4

[atomdooze]

Why am i hearing about this game. Its a sequel to a crap game. Would I care if Perfect dark came out with a sequel even if it looked real nice NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!! dont play dumb pos3 owners this one hurts and killzone isnt an argument until it proves itself, gow is proven to be one of the best games out there. 1.5 or part 2 dosent matter I wouldn't want alot of change to an already perfect game. L8ter losers.

[livespawn]

personally i wasn't impressed with the AI in both games but then again u cant really judge till they come out

[RAF-TECH]

Listen....
It's obvious that Sony Fanboys are jelous...
and that people who actually have both consoles are really impressed.
300 comments speaks for itself.

And To be Honest......

IF YOU DONT LIKE GEARS OF WAR 2.....
IT's NOT THAT YOUR A FANBOY.............YOUR A GIRL WHO CAN'T PLAY HARDCORE GAMES.

[Timesplitter14]

Looks like a really awesome killer app pretty much on the same scale as KZ2 in every way.

But I didn't really like the first one so it's not for me

[livespawn]

both GoW2 and KZ2 look good and am egar to play both

[RAF-TECH]

Impressed. I love the action and the feel of how the game is gonna be.
Damn........ this story is getting heated up... more heat on this Gears of War article.

Anyways. we all know Gears of War will play great... why ?...becuase it's a proven franchise...

[sleepbox]

Gears 1 won awards...many awards

Killzone 1 sucked and wasn't even nominated for any awards.

Last I checked, Guerilla games hasn't completely changed staff.

[f4t41_ph4nt0m]

Excuse your ignorance but not only is guerilla working on this game but Insomniac, and 100+ more people from Sony's second part dev teams are working on this game. Tell me how that is not a change in staff? Lest I remind you that Killzone was a PS2 game that was good but didn't have the right hardware at the time. Now as for Killzone 2 it is being built from the ground up. Gears2 is basically just an upscaled version of Gears1. Gears 2 is what Gears1 should have been to begin with what much is difference?

[Eamon]

Killzone 1 was a mediocre game period.
I'm terribly sorry but claiming that Killzone 1 was a good game and saying Gears of War 2 won't be seriously does prove you are a stubborn fanboy.

Go on gaming websites or wiki or whatever and check out the reception of Killzone 1.

Or go and actually play the game.

[Tmac]

Killzone 2 is now owned by Sony and has a crew over almost 150 give or take. Your comparing apples and oranges, if you think that Killzone 2 is a lament mediocre successor of the first then I'm sure your gonna be surprised when it launchs.

[cr33ping_death]

pretty sweet.

[f4t41_ph4nt0m]

but this shouldn't be compared to Killzone 2 graphically. GeoW2 basically just took the Uncharted route by adding light. And then at that, Uncharted had more light than this game. And IMHO Uncharted still looks better.

[OJ_juice]

How long is this game?

4 hours maybe? LOL stupid DVD

[sleepbox]

ITT: PS3 fanboys that are now graphics whores yet forget the fact that Killzone 1 was a complete and utter failure gameplay-wise.

[pwnsause]

but the storyline was awesome, and that storyline has progressed on a game that now looks like CGI, Guerilla Games has turned from the worst developers in the Industry to one of the best in the industry, right next to Crytech. its ok, go listen some simple plan.

[kalistyles]

Same as the first one. I'll just wait for it to come out on PC. Better visuals and longer campaign. Probably only gonna be as long as the first one. 6-8 hours of gameplay. Personally if you compare Gears 2 to Killzone 2, I'd give the edge in the graphics department to Killzone. Particle effects and AI are far superb on Killzone.

[onewinedangel]

do not bother the xbots. we now it sucks is gears 1 with better lighting but comn this is its only good game coming out this year (exclusive)we can rejoice with a really good game ,mgs4, while them play this grey ultra linear ultra bored run and shoot no plot no ai no nothing crappy game

[RAF-TECH]

you and your people with 2 bubbles.

[NiteWarrior]

This is what Unreal Tournament should have been

[etownone]

why?

two totally different games.

[SuperSaiyan4]

This game looks really intense! Can't wait!

[TwissT]

THANK YOU EPIC! For introducing a nasty little neck snap.

[Elginer]

is actually an old build but I'm sure that in time the game will improve. Looks very very nice, but Killzone 2 still looks better. But the real question at the end of the day is which "plays" better and is more fun. We won't find out for a long time. Plus one is a third person shooter and the other a FPS. Still Killzone graphically is still nicer, but it could use some more damn color, color is not a bad thing folks.

[ela06sd]

Game looks really good....but i must say that the footage of KZ2 on the pS day was slightly better.....the people really in trouble now are Insomniac....they need june 13th to absolutely fantastic....but good news for XBOX 360 owners...they have somthing to look forward to this november.....

[RAF-TECH]

A big jump of graphics from God of War 1....to .... God of War 2????

I dont think so....
Gears on the other hand... is more baddazz

[AngryXbot]

It is long known throughout the internet community that xbots are amongst the dumbest people on the planet. Being highly uninformed, inexperienced, poor and stupid does not help your status at all.

But today, xbots reach a new long. Xbot here proved once again that the xbot stereotype is true, alive and kicking.

LOL no big jump from God of war 1 to God of war 2 he says. LOL.

And lol at the post below mine. Instant classic. Too bad xbots rated your bubbles down. Tell you what, Ill post it for you.

Quote MrPS3:

"2 - Tell you what !!
Gears of war is the Xbox,s best game
And Gears of war 2 will probably take that title !!

But only its more of the same kinda stuff with a few more ways to kill locust and some new weapons and vehicle's !!Oh and about 25 more locust on screen (By the way the PS3 did that last year with a 1000 enemy on screen in Heavenly Sword so you got a long way to go yet Xbox !!) If you think it's an improvement it's NOT !!!!

I mean the locust horde didn't have a clue were they were running all running side by side following a set path
They are just target practice really for Trigger happy Xbots !!!

And after shooting about a dozen of them east targets the locust the Little Trigger Happy Xbot will give himself a virtual high 5 and then get right back to shooting more mindless dumb locust and talkin smack at the same time to anything that can be shot !!! FACT !! Not very innovative !! FACT !!(but then again the Bots are way to easily pleased i mean their more than happy with the worst console of all time the Xbox 3 dollers 60)

So Basically its just more of the same

Now lets get down to the one thing that's matters the most !!

The one thing all the XBOT SUCKA'S were pinning there hope's on

The Graphics !

Well sorry to say but it looks absolutely with out a shadow of a doubt no better than the last one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And for sure it aint even on the same planet in the Grapic's department as Some of the PS3's Exclusive title's that have been out for the best part of 6 month's to a year now and that are coming later this year !!

And tell you what Xbots!!
You wanna really see a game with Graphic's that push the PS3 futher than any game before and really is a Giagantic leap forward and will be the benchmark for years to come and take's a hupe Crap on anything the Xbox has to offer(and yes that incude's Gears 2)

Well not long to wait now Xbot's Get ready SUCKA'S for the GOTY that is MGS4 !!!

And one more thing You Dumb inbred hillbillie sh1tkickin Xbots like to boast about your Exclusive DLC for GTA

Well SUCKA'S after seeing the video they should put that level on Xbox marketplace as Exclusive Extra DLC !! Cause thats all it worth about 3 buck's

Sorry Xbots but your machine is an outdated heap of GARBAGE !!!

Wow your biggest game of the year don't look any better than it's Predecessor that came out 2 years before
LOL You're gettin SHAFTED !!!

Cant wait until they announce GTA5 as an Exclusive for the PS3 and then we will see how much your Old grey, noisey, heap of JUNK held GTA4 back !!!"

__________
You are welcome.

[Jamaicangmr]

I thought this was a PS3 vs Xbox360 debate. However since you wanna bring the PS2 in it lets put some logic to it so it's applicable in this discussion. God of War when launched was said to be the pinicle of what the PS2 could do it even surprised many media types and gamers who never thought the PS2 had those types of visuals in it. Then at the end of it's life cycle God of war 2 was squeezed out. Sporting marginally better graphics but mainly improving the scale of the battles.

So now lets apply shall we. Gears 1 came out a year after the Xbox360's launch. It was thought to be the pinicle of what was achivable on the Xbox360 which up to this day still holds true. Now we have Gears 2 which sports no real graphical improvement basically improves upon on screen enemies (Lined up single file but still. lol!)on screen.

Now look at this in context since you wanna mention God of War 2. God of War 2 was at THE END of the PS2's life cycle. It's now believed that better will never be achievable on that console. So exercising that logic does that mean the Xbox360 is now tapped out just like the PS2 was considering Gear 2 is set to come out what 2 years later with no real improvements?

[RAF-TECH]

I wasnt talking about systems.
I was basically talking about Graphics & Gameplay.

God of War 1 has same graphics as 2... correct? maybe slight better.
But still ..Awesome gameplay..

Gears of War is the same thing.

To put it to the most basic terminology.
The Graphics for Gears of War2 are incredible... even though Killzone may have better appearance (depending to viewer)... The gameplay in Gears of War is something that I can't find in a PS3.

Uncharted tried to do it, but failed...
and Killzone 2 is comming in 2009. wow...... you sure have patients.

Edit: GOW2 was not known for graphics.. it was known for gameplay.
Look at Uncharted and Gears.... Uncharted tried to copy the gameplay but failed horribly... Uncharted in PS3fanboys eyes may seem to be graphically better...but who still plays uncharted???.. But when I see the stats of how many gamers still play Gears of War...its crazy.

Sorry... but PS3 is all about graphics... just to make you feel better... But the 360 is where the games are at... Graphics+Gameplay...

Now go play Lair!!!.. it has some incredible graphics that 360 can't touch!!

[juuken]

Raf, give it up man.
They have you cornered.

[air1]

i think we can stop comparing kz2 and gears2. fact is we will be playing gears 2 in november, kz2 wont be out till sometime in 09. if you ask me, that gurilla crew got scared and climbed a tree. so much hype for a game that did so little first time around. sony fans are so confusing this gen or confused. the game looks awsome we all know the game play is awsome. all shooters that dare to step in the ring are gana get slaped by a brumak. this game is gana be the shooter of the year. just watch..

rubarb couldnt of had said it any better on the 1st page. sony fans go kick rocks and keep WAITING BEYOND!

[Tryst]

I must admit it looks quite decent.

I am a PS3 person, but will not slate this game outright.

360 owners must remember that when the 1st Gears game came out there was absolutely NOTHING around that even rivaled it. Not because gears was so great, but because the other games were so bad.

This time around GoW2 is up against a shed loads of top games and just wont stand up as well against these.

But it all honesty, it does look decent.

[PS360PCROCKS]

Oh STFU decent? Killzone 1 blew and you all hype it cause graphics, which I agree are fantastic, and I HATED Resistance. Gears won GOTY because it WAS a GOOD game, not DECENT!

[fredy]

you fake gamers...

anyone knows if they are a true gamer they would wanna play both games.

gear 1 was the sh4t and now gears 2 will improve on that, i honestly cant say the same for kz1.

kz2 is getting the treatment af 5 year release plus its on new hardware so the difference is apparent..

geow2 already has a fanbase so what ocmpetition are they talking about?

[Tryst]

...it won game of the year because what other games out there could give it any competiton?...exactly.

With games such as CoD5, Resistance 2 (yes you hated the first one, but there is no denying that the 2nd WILL set new benchmarks's in terms of online play), GTA4, Fallout 3 and MSG4 all out this year I seriously doubt GoW2 will come anyway near the clear Game of the year winner is was for its first installment - if at all it is even nominated.

Tell, what new does GoW2 bring to the table?....Exactly

[Mr PS3]

Gears of war is the Xbox,s best game
And Gears of war 2 will probably take that title !!

But only its more of the same kinda stuff with a few more ways to kill locust and some new weapons and vehicle's !!Oh and about 25 more locust on screen (By the way the PS3 did that last year with a 1000 enemy on screen in Heavenly Sword so you got a long way to go yet Xbox !!)

[GUNS N SWORDS]

i don't really recommend any body to see this version, see it in HD (love the vid).

and as far as comparing it to kill zone 2,....kill zone 2 is a 09 game so it will not be running as a candidate for game of the year of 2008.

it's resistance 2 VS gears 2

bio shock 2 and mass effect 2 will be out in 09, so they will be fighting for game of the year for 09.

[Skizelli]

It's funny how you fanbozos argue over graphics, as if it makes your peckers bigger, when you actuality, you most likely haven't even dropped your balls yet. I'll take game play and plot any day. And GoW certainly had both of these, not to mention co-op.

Since when were games about "the best graphics" over having fun?

[Solid_Malone]

wow, amazing stuff from gow2, if i was an xbox owner i'd definitely pick this game up, since im not im gna stick with my ps3 and see if any game can challenge gow2 =]

[Salta_nelas]

Looks cool, but say what you want...the truth is, without the fanboy glasses, KZ2 simply looks much better.

Its more like the Jump from GOW to GOW2, improved gameplay but graphically it was practically the same.

[PS360PCROCKS]

420 comments!?!?!? Holy god people...well first off anyone that can knock that is a complete moron, it still looks sick as ever! The improvements are obvious, the colors, the lighting, the sheer amount of stuff going on. This has WAYYYYY more stuff going on in it than Gears 1. Plus the man that thought up chainsawing through the back and using downed Locusts as cover is a GENIUS!! Lol that sh*t was hilarious. Good job Epic. Ya'll can complain all you want, but this game looks even better than the first.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

You're right...that is a lot of stuff going on.

However, I'm pretty sure the first Resistance, Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm, and even Lair had more going on...

[PS360PCROCKS]

Dude Lair looked like a N64 game, please never mention that ever again.

[miked808]

Thats some awesome gameplay and it comes out this year.

[Martini]

This looks gorgeous and fun as hell. All the sony queers that bash it need to quit sniffing glue.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

We're not bashing it. Gears of War is a great game and EPIC is a great studio. We all know that.

We're just trying to fend off the lame kids who say it looks better than Killzone 2. That's just blatently untrue.

[ToastyMcNibbles]

this is what i would get a 360 for!

[sniddles]

and now just have the PS3.

All you fanboys arguing over which game is better are gay... This game looks incredible. I WILL, save up my money for another 360 come November or December.... After seeing this i will.

Game looks Frickin incredible, i love gears, one of the best games i ever played.

[jones smokey]

dont get me wrong this looks lovely but personally i prefer killzone 2 graphics, but that does not mean i am not getting this game,...i think gears of war 2 and killzone 2 is going to be how next gen graphics shooters should look like, and both off them will be lovely even tho they one is a fps and the other is tps, i am bying this two games when they come out.

[wallace1000]

Holy crap, does every exclusive that is announced have to be compared to a game from the PS3 or 360 depending on if the exclusive is for the PS3 or 360? I think i have read "KZ2" and "Killzone 2" in this thread more than "Gears" and this is a gears of war story.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

The game's looking GREAT! I just want another PC version WITHOUT having to pay for Live to play online. You people sicken me with your pay-to-play services.

Yeah, the graphics are good...but you can't honestly say they're anywhere near Killzone 2. Seriously, guys. You're going overboard here. They're nowhere close to Crysis either. The game looks beautiful, but it doesn't look that much different than the first one.

I still think Resistance 2 is going to be a much better game.

GOW sold because there was nothing else to play and the graphics were good. The multi-player LAG'd like nobody's business and the glitches should've given it poor reviews. I'm not going to say I didn't like the game. I LOVED IT! The PC version improved on graphics and multi-player...apart from the paying thing.

Seriously, people. This is your last hope for a 360 lineup this year. Unless Alan Wake decides to come out early...the PS3 wins. That's it. The PS3 will win.

[fredy]

is taking on 2 ps3 shooters.....

Epic you are brilliant.

you get my money yet again.

[Mc187]

Hated Gears of War. It's was too slow for me but you guys have fun with this.

[El Hefe_360]

I'm no console hater here or anything, but Gears of War 2 has progressed rather quickly, is still in somewhat early development and moving rather quickly. Killzone 2 has taken the better part of 4 years to get going, which is ridiculous. I hope its a great game, and for all the time it has taken, it SHOULD destroy GOW2, but time will tell. I'm just curious as to what the setbacks have been. Like I said, I'm no console hater, I have all 3 all are great in their own respects, the Wii of course mostly for my kids, but I see the 360 pulling ahead on this one, unless Killzone 2 is just absolutely flawless, the last rendition wasn't up to snuff with all the glitches and frame rate problems. Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I'm guessing that the designers at Epic Games haven't blown their load with this first glimpse at real-time gameplay. I'm sure this was simply a teaser to whet our proverbial palates, they wouldn't want to give the store away just yet.

And guys posting here, please for god sake learn how to spell and use proper grammar. I see the posts here and cry when people can't spell worth a damn. Case in point, whoever spells the word "though" as "tho", get your head checked or go back to school; it doesn't take that much extra time invested on a keyboard to properly use your grammar.

[young7yang]

this game is just plain cool and the graphics.... aw man the graphics

i own gears of war 1 and i owned killzone... the game sucked...

killzone 2 is still in the making and its still not here yet... its been 5yrs... gears of war 1 came out nearly 2 yrs ago and we are already getting a part 2... anyone who says this games does not look good needs to stick a spoon in the eye... and fork up their ass

[Jok3r]

This Gears of War 2 video is the most impressive I seen this year! Ultrasmooth gameplay, it looks a bit faster than the original, so many things going on, Brumaks,incredible lightning, great effects! And one can tell it´s a bloody good-looking game too, cuz there is so many jealous Ultra Hardcore pissed-off Sony-fans here giving everyone "disagree" who likes what we have seen here ;D....The game is half a year away so it can only be better and better from here now! Roll on E3, Cliff blow us away one more time!!

[OC Shock Value]

yea i agree with you man, there are some extremely jelous people writing on this thread. same kinda jelousy that i seen on the killzone 2 gameplay video thread. looks to me like the "fanboy" war is about to become really intense from both sides later this year. I cant wait to see how far some of these people take it.

[Jok3r]

Yes, correct..But it will (sadly) always be like this! I am glad I have grown up from that sh1t acting like children arguing about what game/games console is the best! Just play the games and enjoy! I am glad I own both Xbox360 and PS3, that way I don´t miss all the exclusive games on the consoles :D

[Daz]

Same here ps3 and 360 owner is graet to enjoy the best graet games of both platforms.

But the fanboy war will never end, they will always say there console is better then the conpetitors console whatever happens.

[RAF-TECH]

Let's PLAY LAIR!!!..
The game that 360 can't touch in terms of Graphics!!!!

LAIR FTW!

[OC Shock Value]

This game looked pretty damn good. I cant wait to continue on with the story to see who lives and who dies at the end. The graphics looked alittle better, not a huge leap but good enough. I didnt expect this game 2 look as good as killzone. Im also glad its commin out in November to keep me busy until killzone comes out. The thing i noticed the most was that u can use a downed locus as a shield now. and it doesnt take as long to chainsaw someone anymore, which will be great in online multiplayer. Plus chainsaw duels will add some good complication 2 the multiplayer as well.

Well i get 2 pat myself on the back for owning a PS3 and 360

You guys that fight over which is better and only have one of the two have no idea how fun it is, and how many options are open. The way my room is set up, i can and will have killzone 2 and gears 2 running at the same time when released. Im sorry you guys have to fight about it.

If you disagree with me for getting both, please tell me why. I can use a good debate right about now.

[Orange Juice]

This will make a fine addition to my PC library, thats for sure. Between this and R2 and KZ2, idk what else you need in terms of shooters.

[OC Shock Value]

you might be waiting awhile to get this on PC, but im sure u already know that. Im gonna gave you an agree just because you have an Unreal Tournament 3 Avatar

[Jok3r]

I am not sure if Gears of War 2 will arrive on PC? Didn´t it sell really bad on PC(Gears 1)so I don´t know if Epic wanna bother spending money on a PC version, but I could be wrong of course =)

[gambare]

GeoW2 looks like a UT3 mod

[TheBronxxx]

wow...360 is a year older (meaning dated) than the PS3 but yet it's graphics look just as good. I'd have thought the PS3 being a year more advanced than the 360 and with better tech could make a better looking game but imo gears and killzone are pretty on par. With all the hype about PS3 being far superior I don't really know...360 is a dated system by a year to PS3 and yet I see no difference in graphical capabilities yet.

[thehitman]

I think gears can seperate itself from gears "1.5" It does look amazing and honestly makes me wish I had a 360. But 1 game is still not enough to make me get a 360.

To the people who say that this shown more action than killzone you guys havent seen anything yet. Killzone maps are 2gigs themsevles a piece. With everything you see you can go to and massive battles. I did see a lot in gears but nothing compared to whats to come. Also UT3 has more action going on then that at its way more fast pace so nothing special to me.

Also yea MS did release gears1 and 2 before Sony could release its KZ2 but this more than just a game to sony its a tech project. They are trying to learn as much as possible what they can do with the ps3 as fast as they can so they can spread their knowledge with people who are having trouble developing on the ps3. Remeber the ps3 is extremely more complicated at first to develop for then the 360 is.

[ej]

sony fanboys give it up.....Gears 2 will massacre resistance 2 this fall. killzone 2 looks great but graphics dont make the gameplay..plus did u see one of the killzone guys look like a anarexic marlon wayans!! Gears and the 360 will rule once again, sony give up its basically over

[interrergator]

wow that games crazy

[ps3FTW]

Looks great much more intense then the first game but for 360 fanboys who are like "THIS IS GOING TO KILL THE PS3!!!1" no it's not most of the people who are going to buy this is everyone who bought GOW1.

[interrergator]

well i dont think its gona kill it but it will do major damage the war between resistance and gears 2 begins

[Morgue]

I could care less about the hype of either game because in the end it comes down to system preference and nit picking bratery. But if GoW 2 looks as good as it does now, which we're all sure it will. M$ will have proved that they don't need HD-DVD or Blu-ray disc space to release a quallity game with killer graphics and this why they are staying with the dvd format.....for now. But it would be a slap in the face if the Blu-ray rumors are true and this game is released on that format, although I highly doubt that would happen.

[Harry190]

but way too much whining.

[pow3r of t3h c3ll]

lol silly xbox drones. its just the first gears but with better lighting . still doesnt even look as good as uncharted.LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL OLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[Surfman]

doesnt look so bad, look promising for 360 owners.

[fadeawayjae]

GeOW2 looks good and all, but not on the same level as KZ2. GeOW2 doesn't look to have as much destructible enviorments and physics engine is no where near killzone 2

[jaja1434]

You got that from a 2 min or so rail video? That err amazing, not that you got that from the short video, but that you're so involved with which is better you have to make crap up... Amazing!

[na2ru1]

this does lose the smooth framerate however, although it could be just the video.

this has been done already with UT3 but the gameplay mechanics is enough to sell this.

People seem to forget thought that its not always about the visuals. Remember KZ's animation? Hit response? well this

[Skater]

Well, that seals the deal, I need a 360 now. Why should any gamer miss out? R2, Gears 2, and then KZ2. Looking to be an awesome three months starting in November :)

[Cure]

at some of the comments

first why the fuk are people comparing gears to KZ? KZ2 is out of its level..we all know this..

gears2 is gears1 with better lighting - its that simple...

100 ppl on screen? you guys are shocked about this?? first off they looked like they were following a line..2nd off have you seen what heavenly sword and lair have done in terms of body cunts on the screen doing random stuff? try 1,000's

ive read here ppl are impressed with the "huge" layout LOL! are u kidding me? huge layout?? i must have seen the wrong trailer then because last time i check the guy was on a tiny platform and couldnt move anywhere...

this was expected and its come true..gears1 with abit better graphics/lighting..which isnt a bad thing but its a bad thing when u ppl compare it 2 KZ2....and once again i saw like 2-4 ppl on screen again...

unreal egine is played out...in my eyes...ppl need to stop comparing this to KZ2..and just face facts..this whole sony vs MS is stupid...SONY clearly has the better system...and MS ppl just keep coming up with excuses and excuses like look at urself lol u are saying xbox360 has sold more then the PS3 yet dont factor in 360 was launched 1 year ahead like is that normal..how can ppl think like that hahaha...and by the numbers if they launched at the sametime the PS3 would be in the lead rite now....

gears 2 will be a great game....enjoy it...i know no matter what u cant stop fanboys from being fanboys but theres a line of how stupid ur comments could be..so pls - if ur gonna flamebait on here at LEAST! use some fact to back up comments

[jaja1434]

I find it funny you said "u cant stop fanboys from being fanboys" it's like an overweight man telling another overweight man he's fat.

Your original point that people need to stop comparing the two is very correct, but then you went on and ruined it with your own bit of fanboyism by well comparing the two. Ahh well.

[joeynox]

GOW2 looks amazing. KZ2 and R2 better step it up if they want to compete. Especially kz2, It would of been nice if they released a video with more ground war but I love it. This will be a great year in gaming for all consoles "except tiiini wiiiini"

[Tmac]

Hate to sound like a downer, but don't you mean GeoW2 better step it's game up to compete with KZ2? KZ2 visually looks like it's ahead of the pack ten fold. On the contrary I agree, Resistance 2 really does need to prove its self.

[Rhezin]

IS GONNA GET ANIHILATED! makes sense though that ps3 f@gs like queer games like that, because their whole fans base is queer. @ WHATEVA WOW YOU ARE REALLY F!CKING BLIND IF YOU THINK EVEN UNCHARTED LOOKS BETTER THAN THIS.YOU SHOULD BE SHOT FOR SAYING SUCH BLASPHEMY

UNCHARTED SUCKS BAHLS WHY IS IT STILL BEING BROUGHT UP
THE WASHED OUT W@ITSTATION IS INFERIOR GO GET A 360, YOU PS3 P00NS

[zonetrooper5]

Looking great and the gameplay looks sweet. Can't wait to play Gears of War 2 on my 360.

[TheXgamerLive]

This is only one small level of play and an incredible one at that, and within the next few weeks more levels will be released and you'll have all the proof and more.

Something else that's so F;kin weak about that pos ps3 is all the mandatory, remember I said mandatory downl;oads before you can even play the games on your system. Do you know why there mandatory and not optional? Do you? Because your weak assed system can't handle the memory required to play a decent graphically intense game. It has to have a dowload to help the system handle the game play, LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kornbeaner]

You sad pathetic troll instead of taking time to come up with a semi-descent comment about how great Gears of war 2 looks you waste your time talking about other trolls.

HAHAHAA!!! good way to get your point across.

@rebirthofcaos, your an idiot as well. Theres a tab atop the screen marked "PS3" how about clicking that and staying in that section.

NOTE to admins: How about creating a troll section, so the real gamers in this site don't have to go through countless post just to find a good one. Just a thought. or just change the word "OPEN" to "Troll" on this section.

[iiprotocolii]

I loved the first Gears of War. Without a doubt, it was one the best games released for the 360 in regards to graphics and gameplay. The game is awesome.

Without a doubt, Gears of War 2 will be just as good... if not better. But to sit here and watch people act as if this game has made leaps beyond the first one, and compare it to the likes of Killzone 2, is absolutely ridiculous. Seriously, take Gears of War 2 as another great game coming this year and stop making yourselves look foolish by, in all honesty, comparing it to Killzone 2. I absolutely hated the first Killzone. But KZ2 looks as if it's going to make a lot of games look horrid in every way. As I said before, Gears of War 2 will, without a doubt, be a great game. And I'm going to be one of the first people in line to get it. But stop being retarded, people. This game, in no way, compares to KZ2 in any way. Take the game as is and be happy with what you're getting... because this game seriously is going to show the limits of the 360. And it does show that, regardless of what you fanboys are thinking, the PS3 is by far a much more capable and powerful system to develop for.

Anyway, the game looks awesome and I can't wait to get it.

[Mars Attacker]

Looks awesome. I'll surely buy this one.

Funny how a killer looking 360 gametrailer brings every PS3 fanboi out from under their rocks to spew hate. LOL at some of the comments! Thanks guys, your obvious jealousy only drives the point deeper. This game looks fantastic and it's still months away from being complete.

[iiprotocolii]

When you have the majority of 360 owners on here comparing it to KZ2 when KZ2 is _obviously_ ahead in every way of Gears...and it's also MONTHS AWAY from being complete. And please, as both a 360 and PS3 owner, there's really nothing to be jealous about. The game is going to be awesome, of course. But it's nothing to get a PS3 owner excited about. Have you seen what the PS3 has in store for this year yet? Just want to make sure you're well informed and not a one-sided viewer like 50% of the biased people here on N4G.

[kornbeaner]

the same thing can be said on every MGS4 or Killzone2 thread and story,about the 360 extremist.

[rebirthofcaos]

If that was Gays on War 1.2 then i have to say that the rrod 180 will not see amazing grafics.

I think if microsoft tries to run a game like killzone 2 on the RROD 180 all will became atomic bombs XD XD XD.

If the Brumak was a boos then that was the most retard boss ever XD XD XD. also in the poor line of retards,when they were being shooted they just looked stupid looking to othe side XD XD

and remenber the RROD 180 pisses itself and DIES XD XD XD

[tudors]

I don't even have a PS3 yet and was blown away by the graphics in KZ2, the AL needs work but there is time, now I see this WOW! the fanboyism should stop right here because Gears of War 2 and Killzone 2 are true nextgen for sure and at some point or another I will have to have a PS3, you PS3 owners should maybe consider a Xbox-360.

[Bad_Karma]

now lets hope this is nothing like a movie trailer where they show you the best bit and the rest of the movie Sux .

[BattleAxe]

As a Sony supporter, I think Gears of War 2 looks great, but I just can't bring myself to purchase an unreliable console to play that game.

I'm not a HALO fan and I'd like to try Bioshock, but it will probably come to the PS3 now that EA is in charge of Bioware. Mass Effect is also suposedly comming to the PS3, so I just cannot justify an XBOX 360 purchase.

SOCOM is where its at, with a little bit of Resistance 2, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Killzone 2 sprinkled on top.

[AngryTypingGuy]

I downloaded this video on Xbox Live and watched it on my 40" Samsung 1080P HDTV. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! This game will be the new measuring stick when it comes to graphics, and yes, it does beat Killzone 2.

If this were a PS3 exclusive, then Sony fans would be saying the same thing, but it's not, so they say it looks crappy while they are green with envy.

[LFC1EE]

Can't wait for this game to come out, it's pure next gen.

[gmayronne]

if you ask me, the Gears 2 video reminded be of the last level of Gears 1 with just WAY more going on in the background. this was a bad example of Gears 2 in this video, they should have shown something similar but "on-foot". so far from the looks of it the combat remains the same....same enemy count and everything with just a fresh coat of paint (as in....it looks nice, but Gears 1 looked nice and not a whole helluva-alot has changed). Killzone 2 does indeed look better (they have basically met the CGI video from 05 in ALMOST every way), but from what i gathered from the gameplay it still seems a bit.....plain. many hated Killzone 1.....i didnt, i thought it was just a "above average" FPS and nothing more.....not GREAT but certainly not HORRIBLE. with Resistance 2, Killzone 2, and Gears 2 on the way.....just buy both systems if you have the means and give it a rest already.

[ScentlessApprentice7]

Why do so many xbox people here at N4G post alot more comments on Xbox software stories than the PS3 people on PS3 software-related stories?

I know. Because most of these xbox 360 people don't have a console to play on because they're waiting for Mircrosoft to return their refurbish console. The PS3 gamers meanwhile have a great, reliable console that they can take to the bank.

I guess most of you people here don't believe in the business principle of progression. So many of you here are hating on Killzone 2 because you say that Killzone 1 was average (I don't necessary disagree), Guerilla cannot and will not ever make a good game. SCEA's acquirement of Guerilla and a complete rehaul of the Guerilla studios means nothing. I'd say most of you people are here just to hate on Killzone 2.

[OOG]

probably due to the fact that most PS3 people are posting on this thread??? Instead of their PS3 news???

Is it bad for people that like xbox software/own a 360 to leave comments about a thread for their systems????

Anyway you came into a 360 thread and talkn about 360 gamers...and fanboying etc but yet you talk nothing about what this thread is about and instead talk about a game KZ2 that has nothing to do with this thread...........

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
@ ErcsYou
Dude your right the real gamers are the ones who appreciate the games instead of being haters

[LFC1EE]

What rubbish you talk squire.

[ScentlessApprentice7]

The entire issue that I brought up didn't have anything to do with WHY xbox gamers post on articles having to do with xbox software. What I was addressing is WHY SO MANY xbox gamers post on the articles related to xbox software (just in case you didn't notice, the comment tally is above 500)

Oh well that is what I get for trying to converse with immature kids that wouldn't know an educated business aficionado if they kicked them in the head.

biglee, I don't talk out of my backside, but you can just go ahead and kiss it. (BTW what the hell is a squire. I think you wanted to say square, uneducated melvin)

[ErcsYou]

Looks like fun.... real gamers don't hate, they participate...

[kewlkat007]

if everyone on here appreciated games for what they are instead of having "console superiority complexes". That's the problem with fanboys.

How can you like just 1 console? I don't understand it, if your a gamer don't you wanna play every great game out there. Then again, they are so bias they become delusional and it affects their taste in gaming.

I wish this site was mostly gamers that owned all 3 consoles and just enjoyed the great games that come out on both.

Ok that's sounds too perfect...nevermind

[ErcsYou]

Preach.... i couldn't have said it better myself...

I currently only own one console but that doesn't mean that i don't want to play every great game because i do, but right now... i can't ... Gaming is a very expensive hobby, Especially when your a retail slut like me and have to have everything. With the price of the consoles, controllers, cables, memory cards, LCD tv's, camera's, steering wheels, Joysticks, Keyboards, mice, charge stands, remotes, special edition games, headsets, harddrives and the time to play with it all has left me wondering that if i did it all again , would i still have a girlfriend? probably not . .... but i'm a clever mo fo and i swear by late 08...i will be playing gears 2 even if i can't pimp out a dedicated 360 desk... or maybe my girl will dump me but that sounds to perfect.. nevermind

[LevDog]

HAHAHA what do you get when you give hulk some armor and a gun.. you get GOW2.. Those graphics are minimally better than the first.. Minor improvments..

KZ2 rivals crisis.. GOW2 rivals well the first Gears and thats it..

[Martini]

River of tears flowing from the sony camp..... I almost feel bad for them.... and they are still waiting singing the same tune since 2006 - just wait one day soon this and that... and it always ends in disappointment but yet they never learn.... the more they bash the 360 games the more their next BIG exclusive is going to suck like always... they always get what they deserve (suckers bought into the sony hype).

MS totally destroys Sony in the software war by the quality and quantity of titles.

[LiquifiedArt]

Looks average at best. I watched the new KZ2 footage and was like HOLY Sh@%!!@ Then i watched this and was like....uhhh. oooook. Looks decent.

[LiquifiedArt]

All the PRO 360 people. are the ones that didnt want to wait any longer for the next consoles. So instead of waiting microsoft baited the "Impatient" ones into buying there failure of hardware design. The entire plan to Jump the Release of Nin + Sony is a great buisness move but morally sickening Just as M$ is as a whole.

It just seems like xbox fans really try to "JUSTIFY" there preemptive purchase allll the Damnnnn time. OH YEA AND YOUR PAYING a MONTHLY FEE. GO FIGURE!

[sabbath420]

sound retarded. Why is it so hard for you and the ps3 fans like you to leave us to our console choice? Why don't you just go play your console and be happy with it? It really sounds like all you ps3 fans are jealous.

[Alcohog]

Looks the same.

[ROCCOZILLA]

im already playing better levels in UT3 online made from mods.wow,xbots realy are stuck in 2007.KILLZONE 2 will own GeOW 2.ive been playing with those grafix for 6 months now,and were 10-16 player online.PLAY B3YOND waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ay B3YOND!!

[cmrbe]

But to be honest my jaw didn't drop to the ground. I guess we are so use to the Unreal Engine 3 now that it is hard to be surprised anymore. In any case it looks like good fun.

[Morgue]

Gears will be coming out this fall and K2 suppossedly doesn't come out until "February 2009". Maybe you should compare it to something thats being released around the same time like... Resistance 2. Because by the time Killzone 2 comes out, comparing those two games is going to be old news and in the end the only people that like to compare are fanboys, bloggers and game sites because they need stuff to talk and complain about. I've had Resistance since day one and I still play that game on and offline. Gears. I traded that game in a long azz time ago while I could still get $30 trade. Don't get me wrong, the game was good but aside from the graphics there was nothing really that memorable about it and the same goes for Halo 3. I'm not saying Killzone 2 is going to be better because I don't care how killer the graphics are, if the controls are as horrendous in 2 like they were in the first one. Then forget about it. We/I already know what to expect in Gears 2 because it's all the stuff they left out of the first, improved graphics, the Brumack and probably some varients in the MP aspect of the game.

[pp]

the game looks great i don't understand why ps3 fan boys are complaining its not as if there giong to buy the game one day

[xtreampro]

and why the heck are you complaining about killzone 2 then..Huh?..Huh?

[sabbath420]

I for 1 am freaking amazed. That looks awesome! I don't care what any of you ps3 fans say I think this game looks so fun and I will have it on day 1. The graphics look amazing and will never be on the ps3, ever.

[SoulBrotha3292]

yall r such freakin nerds.... OMG PS3 is better than the XBox 360 OMG the Xbox is better than the ps3 ... i have an xbox n yeah the ps3 is awsome there both great consoles n both have good games... now get a grip n get a life u casn disagree n take away my bubbles but u no im right

[Cure]

i wasnt comparing the games...why would i..2 different games in to different levels of graphics...

any1 with a brain knows KZ2 looks way and i mean way better then gears...the whole sony vs MS thing was just an example of what ppl go on and say.

i find that MS fanboys are always the ones to fire off stupid comments and then present no facts to what they are saying...i dont say its just MS ppl as ive seen some stupid sony fanboys launch their trash on here but for the most part its MS fanboys

i good example of this is - when the new trailer for KZ2 came out - if you see the threads there are like no MS fanboys...none..on here its like they are defending their world or something by comparing it 2 KZ2 etc etc

clearly this geow2 gameplay was released to try to downplay the showing of KZ2 and just got embaressed by KZ2..but i see where MS is coming from..this is pretty much the only title that has any value this year while PS3 are just dropping bomb after bomb.

we still have months b4 geow2 comes out lets hope they fix the 2-4ppl on screen and make this one abit longer then 7hrs...played the first one on the PC and it was a great game

[jaja1434]

Well the main point of my post was the hypocrisy of you calling other people fanboys when you yourself are/acting one.

[micbelt]

does this have to turn into a fanboy fest. I think it looks like the first, but that is not a bad thing, at least to me.

[air1]

the hell has graphics meant so damn much? sony fans, you think kz2 looks better then fine! i mean for a game thats been developed since before the ps3 it better have something to show for! now i dont know about you, but id take gameplay and great graphics over the best graphics ever with a limp as$ gameplay. AGAIN why are you sony fanatics still trying to compare these 2 games? that gurilla crew chumped out, they pushed the thing to 09, it's obvious that it wasn't ready to compete with the big boy's!

this whole gears 1.5 needs to stop the game won goty, show it some damn respect. why fix what aint broken? graphics got a boost, gameplay was awsome in part 1 and it looks to be better now (locust shield) amazing!yea it's been done before but not in the gears world.

AGAIN! kz2 bit*hed out this year so stop comparing the 2. i hope they hold kz2 for 09 holiday so it can compete against the rumored halo 4, just so it can burry that sh*ty game. just going by history the first just sucked!

[vloeistof]

have you played killzone on psp??
then we can say that fable 2 will suck 2 then

[gunnerforlife]

this game looks fliping gawjuz and a aint ashamed of saying that(sony fan here)and its nearly up there with killzone, and ill def take ma mates 360 just to play it but i still wana see more then 5 enemies on screen thats something that GOW lacks(this will def be a system seler for 360)

[vloeistof]

i love it here its so funny

[xtreampro]

yeah the biggest clowns are POG,GEC,Brother.s, and PeePee, trust me these guys should join the circus

[PS3thedestroyer]

I personelly think Epic is another overatted company like Valve, Unreal Tournoment is ok, but it's actually really annoying game, this game looks pretty, but the whole 5 guys on screen at once shows the weakness of the 360 and how it will seriously underperfrom in comming year, i mean let's face it the console is working overtime at this, it's actually overperforming that's right people 360 is overperforming and it can't hold a candle to PS3 in terms of anything, in a years time nobody will get insurance who buys a 360 because it will be a totall proved fire hazard.

[donscrillinger]

wow this GAME LOOKS UCKING PHENOMENAL,WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

[omodis420]

I have to admit that it looks awesome. I however can't afford to be buying games for two systems. So I will do the same thing I did with the first xbox. Wait until its dead and then buy all the good games while they are under 20 bucks.

[Bon Scott]

When the Killzone 2 trailer came out,I couldn't believe the rubbish the"so called"droids were spewing forth.
360 is confirmed dead,it's over for Microsh1t,blah blah and so forth.

Sometimes I feel like joining the bots in here, just for the hell of it on this goofy site.
And it's because of the way the armies and armies of Sony fanatics act in here FACT. (not directed at real Ps3 enthusiasts).

Anywho,
Yes,K2 looks wonderful............60 million $ and four years later.

I give props to MS 360 fanboys for returning the favor to Sony fanboys
with Gears 2,and how amazing Cliffy and crew are making it.

I think in KZ2,the explosions,and the actual gun you are carrying,
are awesome looking.............that's it though IMO.
The rest of the graphics I've seen in COD4 already.

But the most important thing to remember,is that graphics are but a small part of what makes a game great.

[AngryTypingGuy]

Well said Bon Scott. I'm glad that there are still people like you who can see through the legions of retards on this website. And yes, there is a difference between Sony fans and the Sony "droids" as they're called.

There is a lot of bitterness among the Sony fangirls since the gameplay footage was released.

[Bon Scott]

Bubbles to ya.

I guess I need to stay out of the open zone because I come from the old school gamer days,
(Intellevision - Atari 2600 / Sega Master system - Nes /
Sega Genesis - Super Nes )
when gamers actually respected each others console of choice,
and didn't verbally bash back and forth like the lunatic fanboys of today.

Some of these guys go ballistic on each other.

It's only games guys.

I'll post in the gamer zone from now on..............but from what I've seen,it isn't all that much more civilized.

[Kareshi_X]

This Is Going to Be a Banger Just like The First One! Who Can Talk Bad about this game? common Execpt For The Sony Fanboys i Cant't see people talk bad about this game foreal. Im going to buy 4 Sure!

[devilhunterx]

All I came to say is Jason360 got pwned.

Oh yea, and the trailer was underwhelming. I guess I might not even play the FULL version on the PC again this time.

[ChickeyCantor]

..unbelievable, even if you just say " it looks good" people will disagree...

F*ck sake what is wrong with you people =/
-------

After playing Gears of war 1 for an hour i got tired of it but if the battles are more like this i think i'm actually gonna like it.

AND IT LOOKS GOOD! DAMN YOU FANBOYS!

[poopybumbum]

looks goooooo0o0od

[djtek184]

The xbox 360 has reached its limits. I see a trend here, nothing has changed, its like halo 1, 2 & 3. Microsoft never innovates.

[Breakfast]

this

[Breakfast]

game rocks!

[3rik]

The game looks beautiful. And stop this Gears vs KZ2 sh!t. Alright, KZ2 does look a little better. But lets remember something. Lets remember Killzone gameplay. Alright. Are you remembering? Now compare it to the Gears gameplay. Yep, thats what I thought. 9/10 of you will probably say gears has better gameplay. And in the end, that is what makes a good game. Gameplay. Now, maybe the KZ2 gameplay will be amazing. Maybe it will be another Lair. But we cant tell right now. We will just have to wait until they come out. Personally, my money is on gears.

[devilhunterx]

I have played and finished Kill.Switch. So for me, Gears1 wasnt as revolutionary as people might claim.

Also I have finished KillZone1 as well. Apart from some non-show stopper glitches it was a pretty good game. The story was more interesting then "ME BIG DRUGGED UP EX FOOTBALL PLAYER. ME KILL YOU" type stories.

[Kush_Reaper]

The 360 once again. come on guys be the wise men you are admit it with X3 sour taste in the mouth. Ps3 is always gonna trump the x360.

[Kush_Reaper]

killzone2 destroys the 360 once again. Oh wait, think im hearing the sound of defecting from 360 to ps3, cudo's to you all a very wise choice.

[bullet]

Maybe Gears of War 2 is not the game for you then... Just wait until My little Ponies comes out.. I am sure there wont be any "ME BIG DRUGGED UP EX FOOTBALL PLAYER. ME KILL YOU" type stories.

[bullet]

Epic and Cliffy pull it off again.

[Tyrael]

OMG using the locust as cover and then snapping the neck!!!

(creams pants)

[N4g_null]

WOW they put the body shields in there! WOW! Now can I get spartan kicks to move the cover around? This is what I expected and I may have to get this one. Seriously why compare this to killzone2? Killzone2 is not over the top like this plus the flying part and the game play is a lot more like sin and punishment which is a great idea! I mean to be able to look down and just spray that horde running at your ship was sweet too. This is what I want if I'm going to buy another FPS this year. It may have the same cover system but how they have put it together is top notch! I mean killzone is cool because some points it actually does look real which is cool but the gun fights totally made me want to buy this one! Great job cliffyB Mad props for this one! Keep it going and put a variance factor into that cover system! Also give us control over saw gun moves!

[tweaker]

Almost 600 comments. lol

[gtvpalm]

Looks very good, quite an improvement compared to GoW. Everything looks crisper and textures are better overall.

I think that in a FPS or a TPS, with repetitive gameplay and cliched stories, graphics are very important, since the eye-candy they provide make the experience worth repeating over and over. Most shooters have the same one-hero or heroic group against all odds storyline. Gameplay has evolved so much these last few years that they almost play the same, very tight and intuitive. Whether it is against aliens, smugglers, mutants or zombies is not important. The standard for gameplay in all modern shooters is quite high and very similar.
I have full confidence GoW2 will deliver a great experience, as GoW and Halo 3 did.
I don't think GoW2 will be a system seller, since it appeals to the same crowd that bought GoW and a 360 2 years ago. There is no more room to grow.

But graphic-wise, KZ2 really looks noticeably better, graphics like those are on a different league.
If you compare GoW2 and KZ2: gameplay will be similar, AI, controls and story. It's the graphics that count here and I think KZ2 is head and shoulders above everything else.

[t-0_ot-]

Looks great. They definitely added a LOT of color this time round..

LMAO at all the JEALOUS PS3 fanboys! Ahahahahahahahaha

Gears 2 looks Fckin amazing. Killzone looks good, no doubt, but the only colors being used are grey, brown, and dark brown.

PS - If you weren't jealous or upset then you wouldn't be in here running your mouth about stupid BS.. You guys are so fckin stupid that you say stupid BS like "KillZone 2 has so much color it looks like a rainbow!" (yes a PS3 fanboy did say that)

PSS - But, I could care less what you dumbasss PS3 fanboys have to say.. I got Gears of War 2 and you don't! =P ahaha.

Remember PS3 fanboys, Graphics don't make a game good. =) And, if you go by history.. KillZone one will be GREAT /sarcasm

[Covenant]

Just peeked in to see the comments...and there are a LOT of them.

Has any story on N4G ever reached 600 comments? That one Ratchet review last fall got to more than 500, if I remember correctly.

[etownone]

GOTY 2009!!!!!!

Anybody willing to bet it comes second in sales (GTA4 being 1st of course)

[trancefreak]

oh man this game looks cool. Im sure it will sell a ton and move alot of 360 consoles under many xmas trees this year. This is what gaming is all about enjoying a great flagship game on your console of choice. Gamers should be excited but i see a lot of b1tchin here and it wont change the fact that this game will be hot. give ms and epic credit for developing a kick ass game. I hopefully will have another 360 by the time this comes out cant wait.

[air1]

you just look anoying. scram kid, scram.. every time i see you around, you alway's trying to down play the 360.. go watch a movie called "WAITING BEYOND".. funny thing is that gears of war didn't take nearly as much time as kz2 did. think about it, this is how gears is gana look for NOVEMBER OF 08 maybe even better by then. if gears would of had that much developement time it would of crushed kz2..

kz2 wasn't ready to compete this year. that crew chumped out, that's how this comparison ends.. now all gears has to do is push back resistance too and the year will be locked for some neck breaking goty awards...

[Rockwallaby]

Epic has their engine ready to go, Guerilla have build a brand new engine from scratch with tech that the UE3 engine isn't even close to.

Along with being a game that pushes the PS3 forwards Killzone is an R&D exercise, when their done with KZ2 they have one of the most advanced gaming engines around wich they can continue to optimise.

Having said that I'm hyped for GoW2

[VirusE]

Some of you guys are seriously brain dead. Did the gears haters watch the same trailer i did? WTF is wrong with you guys? I dont see how anyone could knock that video!?!?!? It was awesome plain and simple. I have long owned a ps 3 and a 360 and i have to say it; many of you sony fans are just retarded. Check my profile, I have both tags and i have defended both sides of the fence many times but you have to draw the line some place. KZ2 is made by guerilla and guerilla has made ZERO good games. Gears was game of the effing year. The graphics in KZ2 could be so good that my eyes melt and i still wouldn't give an EFF cause KILLZONE ONE SUCKED AND EVERYTHING GUEILLA HAS MADE BLOWS. None of you KZ fans want to talk about that though. None of you can just break down and admit that in REALITY they are unproven. In FANBOY land you can ignore that fact i guess.

Talking about gears and KZ2 in the same thread is just simly shameful and only an idiot gamer who owns nothing but a ps3 would do so. I am tired of the fanboys all around but the sony fanboys are like the raelians and scientologist for godsake. You guys can't use logic no mater how hard you try. YOu guys dont care what all the numbers say i know. In my opinion that is just a cowards way of dodging the issue at hand. Why argue with facts or use structures of logic when i can just say "ooooohhhh that turd looks shiiiiiiiney, i dont care that the guerilla is the new acclaim or that they made shellshock, those graphics are tight son".

To root for KZ2 over resistance 2 (another proven game by a proven dev) is just more proof how retared many of you are. You cant even root for the right games on your own system.

[Kleptic]

you start off your comment with points about 'sony fans' not being fair to Gears 1...yet then turn around and criticize KZ2 on past games?...who is retarded?...

1...Guerilla had zero fps experience when developing the first killzone...

2...Guerilla recieved next to zero 'push the envelope' money for Killzone 1, the development budget was said to be roughly half of the first Halo's...

3...Guerilla DID make a great game, something that is almost always blatantly ignored for no other reason than that it discredits your own arguments...

When the world's largest game development ring says 'here is roughly $60,000,000 USD, and take as long as you need'...things start to happen...bombing KZ2 because of past endeavors is ridiculous...everyone knows that can go either way...60 million allows you to higher some pretty talented people...did you care to research how much the company has grown?...48 people made Killzone 1...there are now roughly 175 working on killzone 2 from Guerilla directly...thats not including the lighting engine which was outsourced to a development studio that focused ONLY on that (thats just one of the reasons on why KZ2 has insanely awesome lighting)...and that also isn't including the thousands of other billable hours bombed out to 7 other internal Sony-owned studios...

the ignorance involved with trashing KZ2 because of GG's makes the rest of your comment completely moot...not to mention you are just another GG trasher that, surprise surprise, by-passed liberation because your entire argument would immediately crumble...

now I am excited for Gears 2...Gears 1 did get a lot of GOTY nods...but most of the 'gamers' choices were nearly always oblivion...yet...somehow...ver y few of the site/mag editors saw it the same way...Epic is also great, always has been imo...but I am not going to jump on the wagon of back-flippers saying 'not possible on the PS3' (which is absolutely ridiculous, seeing as how this video doesn't look one bit more impressive than UT3 on the PS3)...you chose to not read those comments earlier in this thread, eh?...you chose to just pick a side and act like its just PS3 owners throwing shat?...normally that is expected and acceptable...next time you do it though, spare us the 2 paragraphs of why we should read what you have to say...

KZ2 is going head to head with KZ2 on a visual basis...none of us are 'not rooting for Resistance 2'...but whats been shown easily shows that Killzone 2 is already one of the most impressive looking games to date...when have a bunch of fanatics still drumming Gears 1 as the best looking game ever, you use your biggest cannon to shut them up...KZ2 is that cannon...but no PS3 owner is picking one or the other...we know they both will be great...and not because guerilla 'has never made a great game, and insomniac has'...more because Sony knows how much is riding on both...When was the last time Sony lost one of these console war things?...just wondering...

and I'll apologize in advance for making an example out of you...

After 429 comments in the alleged "Gamer Zone", I have ascertained that alot of you think it's crap, alot of you think it's awesome, and alot of you didn't watch the trailer per se, you just stopped by to criticise the aforementioned two groups.

See, this is why I don't listen to people often.

proper hardcore gamers like good games like this
this game looks and will be awesome

If the online achievements weren't glitched and they patched up host advantages and glitches out the map multiplayer would be solid.

The video is only act 1 imagine what you will expect through the campaign there is more to come people
