Gears of War 2 crash Xbox 360 and Resistance 2 lack polish

Gamers Blorge writes
"It seems like no matter how much you prepare, things will always go wrong and the top presenters for Gears of War 2 and Resistance 2 weren't immune to such disasters. These two games are the talk of E3 as competitors going head to head against each other fighting for sales during the month of November.

The press conference can be a stressful event especially when all that you have been working towards could be marred by a mess up on stage. Of course the journalist community would never let them heard the end of it."

[TheHater]

insomniac don't work on one part of the game to show to the public. The treat every part of their game equal. Sure they could have work on the build for the E3 press event, but that not what Insomniac do.

[decapitator]

Am perplexed to find out that, that site still isn't banned. What a sh!tty article. R2 is ways of before release and you can bet your @zz that Insomniac will polish the living hell out of the game before release.

Microsoft has been working on their hardware issues for a while now and whiles they haven't completely fixed the problem, they sure as hell have improved since the console's launch.

Seriously guys, whats the news here ? If I were a mod, people who approved this story would get their contributor status removed.

[ruibing]

Apparently, this idiot of a writer never heard of works in progress. They even complained about people like this on the Full Moon Show. If you don't show they anything, they complain. If you do show them something, they complain even louder. If I can put websites on my ignore list, this one would be pretty high up there.

[BulletToothtony]

they're way too busy making 1 AAA game per year... and now they're adding R&C QFB AND Resistance for the psp... i can see epic has the time to do it.. but they must be so stressed out with everything...

i was quite impressed with what they showed nonetheless... very impressive and i truly hope that the multiplayer will finally be able to pull me away from cod4... i'm going for a year of non stop playing that thing :0)

[Calvin_ISA]

Resistance on PSP isn't made by Insomniac... But yes, even two titles in one year is a big plate-full. :)

[dantesparda]

How this is even considered bad news for Resistance!? This is actually good news for you Resistance fans/PS3 fanboys. As it means that the game is going to look better than that. How it could be spinned into something negative is beyond me. Heck they didnt even want youse to see that part, so youse wouldnt think sh!t. But thats the internet for you, and this hating sh!t sells. However, i do gotta say that the game did look kind of lackluster to me. And im not the biggest fan of the first one either (to repetitive for me), but i still wanna check out this game. and any news of more improvements is good in my book

But now the Gears news on the other hand, this is bad news. I mean come on, how many more times must these things happen on the 360 (break down or fvck up), before the 360 fanboys realize just how unreliable the consoles is. And should be a warning to all newcomers. I got a Falcon from MS last yr (as my 3rd repaired system from them) and it crapped out on e not to long ago (so now i am on my 4th). So for all those people that think the Falcon is so fool proofed. Recognize

But yeah i thought their was something strange with that cut in the Gears demostration. The game does look better and i am looking forward to checking it out, but at the same time, i sort of feel like its just more of the same. But then again aint most games?

[rexor0717]

From what I know, they equally develop areas. So all the fancy textures and stuff will come at the end. The gameplay looks incredible to me already, so I could take it today. BETA SOON?

[rushbd]

you expect polish in a game thats not even in its beta stage yet?

[Beg For Mercy]

i wonder did a 360 really crash and rrod at e3, damn is ms really that crazy to let that happen or is the 360 really that unreliable my god and r2 is not finished so it dosent matter how it looked we all know that gears looks good too so no trolling here both will be great at what they do.

[GVON]

I watched it live, and thought the stream messed up, they got to about 15 seconds in and it restarted and like I say I thought the stream had gone funny.

[Playstation Man]

is so last-gen, right M$?

[QueefyB]

obviously it crashed because of the radiation levels

[QueefyB]

i also think the red ring of death was a contributing factor

[General Pinky]

ROD ROD...we get the point you noobs...get over it...at least we get some finished games...lol...unlike some companies that want to take you money for some s*itite games..

[DiabloRising]

Finished games like what? Too Human? Fable 2? They're finished because they are about 11 - 12 hours long.

Please don't be a fanboy, or feed the fanboys, mkay? Because round and round it goes.

[drewdrakes]

Not to continue the argument, because it is rather stupid, but Heavenly Sword. :)

[beavis4play]

how is discussing the article being a fanboy? it sounds like you're more of a fanboy for getting so defensive over nothing.

[zethos56]

How do you know Too Human and Fable 2 are only 11 hours long?

Hypocrite

[alster23]

http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/...

http://www.actiontrip.com/r...

[Rockstar]

Heavenly sword was a fantastic game regardless of how long it was.

I could play a game thats 100 hours long and it could be 100 hours of suck @ss.

A longer game isn't necessarily a better game.

[Common Sense]

Heavenly sword is a Hack n slash.
Fable 2 and Too human are RPGS(for the most part).
Any gamer knows RPGs are long.

[QueefyB]

because as you know the rrod is a plague

[QueefyB]

once gears of war 3 is announced exclusively for the playstation 3 i think that is when epic games will be able to fulfill there dreams right now they are in a nightmare

[Solid_Snake666]

yup

[scheme_a]

I thought the inside building was horrible because of bland texture and lighting.

It's nice to hear it's nowhere near completion and supposed to be set on fire.

I can keep my hopes up again on that one.

[Proxy]

I was thinking that boss battle looked a little to scripted to be any fun. "Run over this bridge, don't worry, you can't be hurt at this point, go through this door, dance around until you're inevitably picked up..."

It's nice to hear that there was actually some challenge, enough so that the developer ended up improvising and still almost died. All this and it still turned out well enough.

[xionpunk]

I totally did not even notice. I was too impressed with that 300 ft tall
monster.

[butterfinger]

be getting both either way.

[Nitrowolf2]

R2 still gots a couple of month b4 it is released and as they said that building was incomplete. I didnt really notice becuase i was paying attention to the gameplay. R2 will look good when it gets released. i can see it getting more polished. I will still get the game no matter what, cause it still looks funs as hell.

[PoSTedUP]

i would be surprised if R2 gets more sales than gears2. 360 user base is still greater but i have my conspiracy's.

[ps3fosho]

okay they still have about 3 months to polish it smart ass

[Pain]

"Resistance lacks polish" aww poor babies....complain about a Game that Not even close to Released....

[i_like_ff7]

I guerentee both games will have none of those technical issues when the games launch.

[IzKyD1331]

that wasnt a game issue for Geow...that was hardware....hopefully the new 60 GB 360 coming out is plagued

[Cyan8313]

They have several months to finish the game. Now if a game that would be comming out the next month or so had these problems you could worry.

[MvmntInGrn]

I see Gears 2 has the bigger problem. I mean damn at least R2 ran the whole way through and while I thought the textures in the building were horrid if it will be burning in the final version then ok. Still funny to see both demos fall off track.

Gears 2 - Crap another 360 murdered...

R2 - Oops wasn't that building supposed to be on fire?

But yeah I am glad R2s building textures were a mistake and will be fixed, Insomniac is known for making great smooth running (and nice looking) games. Gears 2 will most likely be patched, though I am surprised a big Gears 1 problem is still roaming around...

EDIT: @ an above poster Gears 2 will sell alot more than R2, bigger install base and the equivalent of God of War for 360. I still think R2 will be great but number wise it'll be no competition. Hopefully Sony will market R2 correctly, they are already stating now. If they can get it big enough so that holiday PS3 buyers (there will be many this year) purchase it as their first game we could see competitive numbers, not overtaking but impressive at least.

[Rageanitus]

Why do xbox fanboys or sony fanboys bring up this comparisson between these two games....

They are Different

One is 1st person shooter and other is third person..... hence having a totally different feel to the game..

Its like comparing final fantasy with Zelda.... totally different games even though they are rpg's

[Willio]

Aliens vs Humans. Both are selling at the xmas season. Those are the only similarities. Enough for journalists to write and peak our interests.

[Jinxstar]

No it's more like comparing World of Warcraft to Lineage 2. Totally different to MMO gamers just as Gears and Resistance differ to me and you greatly but to your average Wii gamer looking to upgrade this christmas who knows little outside of swinging a remote they will look similar just how most MMORPG's might look similar to gamers who don't play them...

[GametimeUK]

you can compare ANY 2 games lol... Its not hard to do nomatter how different they are... If you couldnt compare then how would you know that you like 1 game more than another? jeezus... I could compare toast to resistance if I wanted to

[Nitrowolf2]

they can do allot in 3 month
so i can see this game getting polished.
im pretty sure that on there mind, but i bet there concentrating on something else for the game like mybe improving the online or finishing the last levels or somthing.

[Covenant]

The fanboy spin on this article ought to be interesting.

[Kleptic]

this guy is digging pretty hard...Cliffy confirmed that the 360 controller timed out...not that the 360 red ringed, despite many attempts to make it sound that way 'this being one of them'...

and resistance 2 lacked polish?...it already looked twice as good as the showing just a month ago...its coming only surprisingly quickly...as did R&CF just a year ago...

these previews of games are actually the most annoying part of the gaming media right now imo...I want to hear about these new games just as much as the next guy...but the new trend is to keep drilling how they underwhelmed instead of that they are shaping up to be awesome...both of these games will be some of the best experiences on their respective systems...and for different reasons...just because there are a few bumps a few months from release; leaves no reason to sound any alarms...

[Bladestar]

Resistance 2 look worst than Resistance 1 in terms of graphics... they probably had to dumb it down in order to support more online players... ohh and are you people kidding? how can you ever compare Gears 2 to Resistance in terms of sells? If Metal Gear did not even beat Gears 1 in terms of sells... how can you think that Resistance will sell more copies than Gears 2 which is guaranteed to sell more than Gears 1... Gears 2 superiority in terms of graphics to Resistance is a joke...
I was also wondering how come Sony do not move some resources around to make Resistance look like Kill Zone 2... I mean both games look like P2 vs PS3 graphics compare to eachother...

[braydon619]

your obviusly blind if you think that R1 is better looking then R2...

[Rob0g0rilla]

"Resistance 2 look worst than Resistance 1 in terms of graphics... they probably had to dumb it down in order to support more online players..."

Resistance 2 looks much better.

I watched an HD comparison video on Qore that actually proves that. But the only way to access that comparison is to own a PS3 since youtube doesn't offer HD quality. Resistance 2 has more color and looks better upclose.

I watched the HD comparison on Gametrailers and I thought Gears 1 looked better then Gears 2 on the Gridlock comparison.

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

Gears 2 looked washed out.

[YogiBear]

Before you go off about MGS4 not selling as much as Gears1 keep in mind that there are more copies of Metal Gear games out there than xbox360's.

And the reason R2 won't look like Killzone 2 is because Insomniac likes to actually get their games out on time.

[bluegoblin]

the sales of metal gear and gears of war???? metal gear came out a month ago in case u didnt know......
and if u think gears of war is a better game than metal gear then u must think that cutting your left nut its easier with a spoon than with a chainsaw T_T....

now on topic is not the games fault that the crappy hardware cant handle the game so ill give that one to gears....as for resistance 2 well, they have time, they'll get it done..

[n4gzz]

Here is simple math for you.
R1 is better looking than R2.
R2 is better looking than Gears 2 and Gears 1.
Thus,
R1 is better looking than Gears 1 and 2.

This is the conclusion i got from your comment. LOL

[KarateExplosion]

How long has MGS4 been out??? exactly.

[supahbad]

"I was also wondering how come Sony do not move some resources around to make Resistance look like Kill Zone 2... I mean both games look like P2 vs PS3 graphics compare to eachother..."

IDK moron why didn't MS do it for Gears 2? maybe its because KZ2 is 4 years into production and is the game designed from the ground up to show off the system. blind

YogiBear-KZ2 is on track, never delayed, they pushed back past the projected time period which was originally fall/winter, but it never had a release date

[Bladestar]

lol! Metal Gear is being out not long ago..bla bla bla... Gears 1 set record sells of the fastest sold game... Metal Gear 4 broke none... Gears 2 will do the same and much more... which game will sell more? duhh.. you do not have to wait 10 years to tell which sold more..

[snoopgg]

is a joke. Just stating the facts Bladestar!!!!!!!

[DA_SHREDDER]

Omg your hillarious. Metal gear has only been out for a month,, Gears has been out for almost 2 years. How old are you dude? This is grown folk talk man. The kiddie zone is over there -------------->

[Bladestar]

It's my opinion.. so why should I go to the open zone.. I didn't violate any of the guidelines...

So, are you saying that Resistance look better than Gears 2?
are you saying that Resistance 2 will sell more copies than Gears 2?
Did Metal Gear beat Gears 1 in terms of sells?

Answer yes to any of those and your comment belongs on the open zone.

There is a difference between just trolling and stating facts... you can't denied any of those proven facts. regardless of how much pain the truth causes you.

[braydon619]

haha so true... track the guy, every post he has is cashing the ps3 though so what can you expect.... people do stupid stuff when jealousy takes over ;)

[dogseye_deadhorse]

answer to your questions

1 matter of opinion
2 matter of opinion
3 no. gears has sold more than mgs4 in terms to "sells"

whats ur point anyway?

2 outa 3 arnt facts, get them straight.

its obvious ur a 12 year old septic tank yank. (full of shiit)

no offence to all americans but just ones like bladestar!

[riddlesticks]

I'm sick of people on this site attributing, less than intelligent comments to the persons age.
Your comment: "The kiddie zone is over there --------------> " really irritates me.
I haven't read this site’s policies, or terms and conditions for a while (so they might have changed since i last looked) but i wasn't aware that the open zone ("kiddies zone") is for children to post comments in. Do you not value the views/ opinions of children? Should their comments not be alongside yours?
Ok, in this case maybe the persons comment was unsuitable for the gamer zone, and perhaps his comment should be in the Open Zone.
Your comment, "How old are you dude? This is grown folk talk man" suggests to me that you believe that the relevance of a statement is a direct indication of his age, am i right? You should be ashamed of yourself The United Nation's Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) applies to ALL children and young people aged 17 and under.
From 15 January 1992, when the treaty came into force, every child has been entitled to over 40 specific rights. And number two on that list is:

"the right to have their views respected, and to have their best interests considered at all times"

The treaty goes on to say, "The rights included in the convention apply to all children and young people, with no exceptions."
(just in case you didn’t see that bit... NO EXCEPTIONS)
And to any other members of this site who, at times find themselves guilt of the crime that effects so many today in our different societies, that is ageism, I strongly recommend you visit this United Nations website:

[Premonition]

Not to start anything really but come on, just cause one of the biggest games of this year gets a lot of heat due to a hardware crash, they pull Resistance 2 right in to it because of some unfinished texture which not to many people probably notice since they were focused on the boss in the game and the little action goin on in there. I rather show off gameplay with some textures missing since it is a work in progress vs a game that crashes a system live on national tv / internet.

[LittleDozer]

LOL Bladestar. Every time I see one of your posts I can't help but question if you are thinking before typing. Bring those spur of the moment comments to the open zone. The Gamer Zone is for people that know whats going on.

[DA_SHREDDER]

But I am a fan on neither. I like realistic games that dont require you to put a whole clip on someone just to kill them. Cod set the standard of what people want out of a shooter. Even with a bullet proof vest, one round from an AK 47 can kill anybody. Let alone a shot to the head.

Also,, The main characters in Gears of War are so freakin hilarious. They got these huge bodies and then they got these little heads. Seriously, I'm all for science fiction games, but there is nothing wrong with putting a little realism to enhance the effect.

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

That's why I personally get pissed off at halo sometimes.

Assault rifle for half a second then melee. Auto kill?

And put 2 clips into a person to kill with an assault rifle.

Don't get me wrong I love Halo, and am not trying to start any wars, but I just hate that part about it.

[Reibooi]

You know how when you play a demo there is a warning saying this game is not yet finished and does not represent the final product. Yeah that would apply here. Does it matter honestly? Both of the games were stunning and after about 2 mins of the Gears2 demo I had forgotten about the crash at the beginning. As for Resistance 2 I was in such awe of the massive levitation that I didn't really pay attention to the poor textures or whatever this guy was complaining about. I'm sure both games will be twice as good in the final version of the games can't wait for either. This is certainly a very very good time to be a gamer.

[braydon619]

i agree 100% percent, there's no reason to bash either game... they both look amazing. Even as a full hearted sony fan/ everything to do with microsoft hater i'll admit i wish we had gears on ps3....one of 2 xbox games i wish ps3 had because it is a kool game so there's no reason to make fun of it.

[pumpkinpunker]

Gears of War is like a Ferari
Resistance is like a Hyundai

This comparison is just manufactured by Sony so that PS3 owners don't feel left out this November. Gears of War 2 will be awesome. Nobody who owns both consoles is going to buy Resistance 2 instead of buying Gears of War 2 unless they have a mental defect

I watched the Resistance gameplay footage at E3 with an open mind, wondering what the big deal was, and couldn't find anything to really spark my interest. The big monster thingy looked like a giant blob of undefined pixels and the graphics for everything else looked like a launch title. If the shoe was on the other foot and Gears of War 2 was coming out for the PS3 and Resistance 2 was coming out for the 360 then PS3 fanboys would be rubbing it in our faces everyday with good reason.

Quit the crap about Resistance 2 having good graphics. No one with half a brain and 20/20 vision thinks this game looks amazing. Maybe the gameplay and story might end up being great but the graphics are not from what we've seen so far.

Lastly, it looks like the devs are trying to over-compensate for their sub-standard graphics by saying the game is about scale. Bullsh1t it's about scale. this game looks like Half-life 2 circa 2004 right now. Half-life 2 had enemies as big as that monster (the striders) and no one is still saying half-life 2's graphics are good by todays standards.

[Willio]

then go buy Left 4 Dead. A Pc port exclusive coming to xbox360 only. Congrats!

Gears 2 is gonna be great, Resistance 2 is gonna be great.

America is screwed if consumers are blindly supporting a company who buys out the competition instead of reinventing.

[YogiBear]

Go drive your Ferrari then. Gas prices are high so i'll take my hyundai with 7 other friends.

[pumpkinpunker]

I'm not saying Resistance 2 will end up not being a good game. I'm saying the graphics look average compared to Gears of War 2. Whether it was a mistake or not, those indoor textures were pretty bad. Good example for you to bring up the 360 console exclusive, Left 4 Dead. I would agree that the graphics look average for Left 4 Dead also.

Hey, but don't listen to me. I said the same thing about Haze before it came out and got the same reactions from a lot of people. If I only owned a PS3 then I would be holding out for KZ 2 and crosing my fingers that they don't screw it up like the original. at least the graphics look good on killzone 2

[kazuma]

so if ppl prefer resistance over gears of war, they're retarded? yeah, good argument u got there....

[Lou-Cipher]

It could be that the controller timed out or it could be that the Xbox 360 problems that Microsoft said was not a big issue, is still a big issue. What I would like to find out about is how many consoles does Microsoft use as a JUST IN CASE THE 360 FAILS WE HAVE A BACKUP. The real story I think is that maybe just maybe Microsoft is still to this day not confident that the 360 wont fail in public. The problem with this story is it is not a Gears 2 issue, it is the issue of Microsoft hardware failures being put back in the spotlite again, even after they said that it is not a big problem anymore.

[Raptors]

I see the defence force is out in full power to defend Resistance...

[athlon770]

and you would be part of the defence force to defend the machine that yet again did a rrod at a major showing and you guys are well trained in the MS arts of deception...

"oh darn, another red ring of death, quick, everyone look over there at the Sony booth, they are showing R2, look at those bland textures while we change out this 360 for another one"

Pathetic!

[power of Green]

That was a crashed 360? I watched it live and I thought it was some technical issues with the live display?. hmmm...

Resistance 2 looks like sh*t I doubt it will even match the first one.

LOL at the Bullshit post the 360 didn't crash, the screen went blank while the game was running as far as the console knew everything was great lol.

They later edited the live technical feed error that lasted for a few seconds.

LOL they have to make up BUllshit to talk bad about the PS3 lol so its fair due to the POS fanboys.

[Ali_The_Brit]

oh my god your so delusional, yes it crashed, get over it

[TheOutsider]

Yeah, they looked like idiots acting like they were playing in real time. Then it restarted!! haha it was only a video! what a bunch of dumbasses!! X-bots are retarded!!

[n00bzRtehgey]

lol, k.

[Dzpool]

it was a feed delay the game has profanity they had to make sure the seven second delay was on if people don't understand that they are just stupid they even said it on g4 later on and apologized for it cutting Cliff off during the conference jeez R2 and gears 2 will both be great games but as i think gears 2 will probably sell 3 million in the first 2 weeks where as R2 will take longer to get to the 1 million mark

[supahbad]

all live TV runs with a seven second delay since Janice Jackson at the superbowl, that's just an excuse there should have been no surprises about that. just saying

[athlon770]

but it was a hardware issue...

"Such a fate was in store for Cliff Bleszinski lead designer of Gears of War 2. According to 1UP’s podcast N’Gai Croal and 1UP team talks about how during the Microsoft press conference Cliffy B. was demonstrating a level from his upcoming Gears of War 2 when near the beginning, all of a sudden his Xbox 360 froze then crashed. You can catch the crash here on Gamespot’s full E3 Microsoft press conference coverage.

Cliffy B. had his team quickly switch over to another machine which proceeded to play what has been speculated as a pre-recorded demo of what Cliffy B. was going to play live. As the team switched over to the other machine Cliffy B. stopped using the 360 game pad and started gesturing at the screen."

So lets see here the first paragraph talks about the freeze and crash, while the second paragraph talks about the swapping to another machine. Swapping to another machine = hardware issue, not a simple game freeze.

[slave2Dcontroller]

I would care but since they are DEMO'S with over 4 months left to go before they are released... I dont give a s__it! Its this kind of press that makes devs hesitant to reveal games before completion and I cant say I much blame them.

[xboxLOLnewayz]

Undoubtably Gears will be a great game for all 360 owners.
I am waiting for resistance 2 myself.
i hope resistance blows Gears out the water though.
The previews looked sick, i bet it will be 2wice as good as the 1st.
anybody agree with me on that?
Killzone 2 as well, 09 has such good games comming, honestly it could be the best year for all gamers.
you never know with each console trying to 1 up the other!
hows about...
heavy rain,
god of war 3,
killzone 2,
resistance 2,
Far cry 2(Multi, but will be better with sony with blu-ray)
and farcry is comming soon!whhhooooo boy.
.\play b3yond/.

[Common Sense]

you are a sad bigot and a poor excuse for a human being.

[TheDude2dot0]

Seeing as how Gears pretty much only had graphics, that isn't saying much.

[Kleptic]

yeah...PS3 fans are definitely what is ruining this site...you're right POG, Jason, Mart, etc...Noobz isn't a problem at all...360 fans are perfect...

ban that mouth-breather permanently...

[SL1M DADDY]

No matter what side you support more. Articles like this stink of inexperience and should not even be approved.

[xboxLOLnewayz]

i dont think you understand the difference..
maybe thats why there is the fukin word noob in your headline,
do us all a favor, get the hell off the page you piece of sh*t xbot.
As you can tell your not welcome here, look at the disagrees.
the funny thing is wherever i go i always see your stupid ass posting something about how PS3 is lame and xbox rules and i always see all the dissagrements beside your name , i mean dude you look like a idiot, you think you would give it a break after a while you little fukin kid, by the way do i look black to you?
didnt think so, at least i have a pic of my actual self you f*ag ass fanboy, your prolly like 12. truth be known.

[n00bzRtehgey]

u remind me of the guy in that Constipation 2 pic: A screaming nigger!!!

[Highwayman]

Oh, well sh!t happens, what can you do? Tar and feather those people?

[jkhan]

I will be getting both. People complaining about R2 graphics should rest, the game should look atleast as good as Ratchet Quest for Booty. Its running on the same engine. Yes the environments looked bland and all but the boss fight was epic. Secondly ofcourse they won't release a game without textures and all that. According to Insomniac they were done with Singleplayer gameplay back in Feb. Then they focused on narrative. Now we know the multiplayer is up and running so is 8 player coop, so expect the next 6 months that insomniac will polish this game to death. Of all the developers in gaming industry today, Insomniac's are the one I respect the most.

[Fototherapist]

This author is talking about ridiculous side notes as if they are make or break catastrophes. A worthless article. N4G seems to be getting a lot of these lately. Resistance 2 looked great. Gears 2 looked great. Everything will be fine.

[VTKC]

so it crashed. No big deal. Its not finished game is it? otherwise we wouldnt still be waiting for it to come out. and the same goes to Resistance 2. Its not finished so there are bound to be parts that dont look completed yet. I'm sure people who are interested in the game know what is expected after watching the demonstration. Except it will look better.
All this just proves they are not finished.

[SeanScythe]

Big difference between not working and unfinished. Both games are unfinished but only one of them crashed.

[Avto]

Yes, precisely GeOW 2 crashed well this is in no way good, while in Resistance 2 a building that is going to blow up and you will never ever be able to go inside during a final game is still done properly. Most of the games this kind of architecture isn't even fully 3D, they're just background.

[RAY017]

jajajajajajajaajajajjajajajaja jjajajajajajajajajajajajajjajaj ajajajajajajajajjaajjajaja!!!! U dont see that happen with a PS3!!
M$ sucks!!!

[ninja_united]

what a bunch of loosers ¡¡¡ gladly i got a ps3

[TheDude2dot0]

This blog is pointless and should be destroyed.

I doubt the game crashed the 360. It's not the developers fault that the guy playing the game went off-plan (and sucks at playing). I know it was Ted Price, but they should have gotten a decent player.

Both games are fine, but the author has to say otherwise.

[unbiased]

"According to Intihar that building was no where near completion and was suppose to be burning down in flames in the final game. So, it seems somewhere probably after the first throw by the huge boss the Leviathan, Price missed a chance to get picked up and thrown, before almost being killed while inside the building."

[arkalos13]

i think the crashing of the 360 during during the gears showing is alot worse then just a little bad graphics on resistance. i really wasnt paying attention to the building i was still looking at the 300 ft leviathan stalking this one guy.

i thought that gears one and gears two looked exactly the same in graphics in the comparison they showed, and a few more finishing moves which most of those you probably wont be able to do because of to many buttons to press or wont even be released. by the time u do those finishing moves online ur dead, shot during the move unless ur invincible during the move then ur back to normal after it. i think a shot to the head would cut it for me.

ive also seen the r1 to r2 comparison in HD and its way different. i also beleive 60 players online is way more exciting than 10.

Wait until both games are released before commenting on their lack of polish. Some sites are so stupid.

Has to be the worst written, most awful blog I have ever seen in my life.

"Gears of War 2 crash Xbox 360 and Resistance 2 lack polish"

instant hit from all fanboys

That comment was way out of line. If you have to stoop so low as to blurt out a racial slur then you dont deserve to be here. We can tolerate your trolling but not your racism. Both games have a few months left for improvement so discrepancies are to be expected.

Resistance 2 looks worse than Halo 1. I STILL have no interest in any PS3 games.

You are a very blind fanboy. I believe the section to our right is more appropriate for you.

So there plqaying the demo of gears 2 and the machine RRoD's.. then just because the "writer" of this article is a little xbox Fangirl he throws Resistance 2 in there when what happened was not in a totaly different ball game it was in a complete different planet if anything what happened to R2 was a good thing...

p.s isn't this 2 years in a row a 360 RRoD'd at E3? *sigh* when will they learn

Nice article, I noticed both these things in the live press confrences on TV

The problem does not lie with Gears Of War as it is a mear programming fault. Wow it crashed, with a game of this nature. The amazing visuals and amount of data running through the xbox 360 when running this game is something that sony cannot match. Hence the reason Resistance 2 looks pathetic. If you really think that it looks good then your an idiot to the system. Resistance 2 looks last gen and does not have good gameplay.

Compare the two and you will see how retarded Resistance 2 looks!

The xbox 360 is the only machine that can produce such amazing graphics and processing power to give such smooth gameplay. You wonder why the xbox 360 gets problem because its got so much power. That is what you call real next gen! Not something that uses many shaders and texture tricks to fool the gamers eye....

You watch a gameplay video of the ps3 and all you see is mis-matched textures and dusty dark visuals.....You say its how they video it but its not. I have seen it for my own eyes and no TV setting will change it....Its always dusty and dark visuals! Utter rubbish!!

As your name implys you're nothing more than a fanboy, and are blinded by the fact.

I hope you learn one day that being an idiot and bowing down to a single console like it's a god is moronic.

First of all, go play games such as uncharted.
If you say all fanboys bring up that argument, then ill say, go check out warhawk. Beautiful game.

Both the 360, and the ps3 have great games, with great visuals.
