GB Face-Off: Gears of War vs Uncharted

"There is no denying that Gears of War and Uncharted have been star AAA new IPs for both Xbox 360 and PS3 respectively. Both titles have created the greatest buzz and have been system sellers. Now we here thought to put these games face to face and see which one is the ultimate King of the Kings. We'll judge both these games under three different scales and the one winning on two of them will be our winner. So without any delay lets start our first ever GB Face-Off."

They are actually talking about both as a series as a whole. Did you actually read it?

Uncharted 2 is better than any Gears of War game will EVER be.

Yeh I'm not too keen on the article either but mainly because of the way they've compared the two games.

How can the writer say Uncharted won "hands down!!!!" when he only had three categories to compare with the final score being 2-1, if it was 3-0 than sure but a one point win is pretty close.

The definition of what "hands down" means for those curious,

On another note, this guy can't even keep his story straight! First he compares the original Uncharted and Gears of War but at the end he goes on talking about Gears of War 2 and Uncharted 2, wtf?

However, Gears of war is stil a great franchise, it will be interesting to see what they do with the third game.

Uncharted 2 is G.O.T.G.(game of the generation). Epic needs to go back to the drawing board with Gears 3, and for the love of God please make the online work.

Gears 2 story with maria dying that was so funny cause it was just so bad not in the good way. Dom:No nononono baby nononononono. Crappy story writing at its best and gears 2 had alot of those moments almost made me lol as much as bionic commando's script.

7.1 - Yeah, I know.
I mean, thoughout the whole game, you don't even get to see Maria. Then, all of a sudden, she dies, and you're suppose to feel sad? It's just so cheessy. Without any character development and without any to make you feel connected to the characters, it's just feel stupid instead of sad. And not only that, you can see it coming a mile away, it's was so cliche.

Even though I don't personally like it much I think Gears1 was probably overall a better game in its time than UC1. Just being new style of TPS gameplay and having a decent multiplayer. UC2 on the otherhand is VASTLY superior to Gears2.

Yes, but a few people on here who I won't name are prone to making declarative statements about the games. For example, some people say, "Let's face the facts, Uncharted is better than Gears of War." These are not facts, no matter how many times people say they are. Some people just like Gears of War better, and it's not a problem.

You know I only played Gears 2 and tbh I think it's a great game, it really is a lot of fun.

But whilst it's sales figures are vastly superior, Uncharted for me just whoops is ass in every single department.

i love uncharted in every single way and it does beat gears in every department, but with mates round i cant sit there and play it while everyone watches. Coop and horde mode on gears make it more popular in my flat
Shut this user up Let user speak
CLANCY BROWN - 57 days 6 hours ago
14.1 - beats it in every department? WTF
What b.s.
Gears beats UC in units sold
Gears beats UC in Multplayer(uc didnt even have it to compete- sad)
Gears 2 beats UC2 in units sold
Gears 2 beats UC2 in multiplayer(numbers playing at any given time)
gears 2 beats Uc2 in amounts of enemies on screen.
Horde mode from gears destroys everything multiplayer in UC2-no competition.

some facts and 1 opinion for your full of crap statement

i was only comparing gears2 to U2. I didnt have uncharted1 so i cant talk about it. Units sold cant be mentioned coz U2 has only been out a short while. i agree with you, my point was the gears2 muliplayers smashes U2 multiplayer in everyway, coop, horde and normal games beat anything that U2 has to offer but in single player U2 has gears beat. i've put many more hours into geears coz i prefer MP to SP

"Gears beats UC in units sold"

Are you Epic? Do sales affect your gameplay? No.

"Gears beats UC in Multplayer(uc didnt even have it to compete- sad)"

So every game needs to have multiplayer to be good?

"Gears 2 beats UC2 in multiplayer(numbers playing at any given time)"

Both have a 10 player limit (5v5).

"gears 2 beats Uc2 in amounts of enemies on screen."

I don't know about Gears, but there are alot of areas in Uncharted 2 where you have to fight around 20-30 enemies which are all on screen.

"Horde mode from gears destroys everything multiplayer in UC2-no competition."

Uncharted 2 has a survival mode, which is basically horde mode. And you act like Horde is something that Gear of War 2 invented. A TON of PC games had a horde mode before Gears of War 2 was even announced.

Marcus Fenix is such a generic character. He has no real personality other than "badass". It's possible to be badass and still be interesting.

This article sucks. I thought it was going to compare gameplay, game modes etc. Instead we get this junk about sales and blah blah blah. Seriously this Gamingbolt site needs to be filtered out of here. They bring nothing good to this site.

I'm confused as to why they are even comparing the two games. Just because there is a duck and cover system in both? Just doesn't even make sense to me.

Well yes but the weapons and grenades and the style of playing is similar when you're shooting, blind shooting and all. When I first picked up Uncharted 2 I said " This reminds me of Indiana jones, Tomb Raider, Mission Impossible and Gears Of War" Besides what's wrong with that comparison? Gears has been the biggest blockbuster IP this gen, it
s sold like 8 million copies over 2 games.

They're both 3rd person shooters with well thought out cover systems. The concept behind this comparison is fair enough, even if it's written at a 3rd grade level.

Definitely Uncharted for just being innovative and has put storytelling/gaming into a higher level.. while Gear though very good has just been evolutionary.

"ha ha hoo we we were almost in that"

"No thank you just wanna see my T-shirt wet"

"Nice to meet you I'm last years model"

Seriously with the one liners in Uncharted 2 I'd play it if it was an ugly game haha. The game is brilliant and utterly hilarious throughout. Although the graphics are ridiculous, makes my eyes happy.

Is Uncharted gameplay similar to Gears gameplay? I disliked both of the Gears games, so I'm curious.

both have really good duck and cover systems and all that comes with that. Similarities end there somewhat.

IMHO, i loved the Gears series and it shouldnt be downplayed by those who don't like Microsoft. But in terms of quality, imma go with the UC series, just a damn good game with a damn good story, top notch all the way thru.

also, what didnt u like about Gears? if it was the cover system, you may not like UC, if it was cuz of gears story, you should give it a try
