Epic's Cliff Bleszinski Talks Resistance 2

Spanish web HardGame2 has posted an interview with Epic's Cliff Bleszinski, where the father of Gears of War talk about Gears of War 2 and (surprise) Resistance:

HG2: Do you think that Resistance 2 can be rival of Gears of War 2?

Cliff Bleszinski: Man, I think that the competition is always positive, and bearing in mind that my game is better (laughs). I know and I am friend of Ted (Insomniac), but I must say that despite being a good attempt, the quality of Resistance 2 falls short of the Gears of War 2.

This story has been translated by Google translator pages.

[Batusai]

I think it is normal that Cliff defend his game, but in my opinion, Resistance 2 can be better than GoW 2. Resistance 2 will innovate, GoW 2 won't.

[sonarus]

How will it innovate?

Resistance will succeed with content with the separate coop mode and i believe the multiplayer experience will be better but thats pretty much all i see resistance using to gain an edge on gears.

Sales wise gears will be greater and their gameplay will be better as well. Resistance story will probably be better as well but overall single player experience will probably go to gears. Gears of war gameplay is excellent and gameplay is the most important factor

[iamtehpwn]

"HEEEEEEY! Buddy! Nice game. Sucks Donkey ass compared to mines, but nice game!"

CliffyB, ace jerk. =P

[xjxdoggystyyle]

when did resistance become a good game? when did resistance become a system seller or a franchise game..last i checked gow sold 5mil + games? game of year awards? and resistance wasnt even in the same breath....and same will happen this november.....resistance will come and fade away ..while gears a collects all the awards etc.... i was a sucker and fell for the hype and bought resistance 1.....that will NOT happen again this time around...my gears 2 limited edition has been preordered for months now

i cant wait for the reviews for both games to come out..and when gears owns it...to hear the fanboys say...msoft paid them off to write good reviews.... so on so on...the typical sony defense force excuses

[sonarus]

Resistance has sold almost 3million copies. Its not 5million but its still pretty impressive.

To be honest i don't see gears being much of a systems seller. Both games will be released during the holiday season essentially a guarantee both games will sell well

[Common Sense]

as a LAUNCH GAME. The 360 had an established fanbase, when Gears came out, the Ps3 didn't when Resistance came out. Insomniac has a better track record than Epic. Insomniac releases a AAA game every year.

Enjoy your 10 multiplayer. I'll enjoy UP TO 60 multiplayer. Enjoy your 2 player co-op and I'll enjoy UP TO 8 player co-op. Enjoy your short campaign. I'll enjoy TWO campaigns. Enjoy fighting 50 ft Brumak. I'll enjoy fighting 300ft Leviathan. Enjoy playing on a console with a 33% failure rate and I'll enjoy on a console with <1% failure rate.

Now I wonder which game is bigger (60 Mp vs 10 Mp, 8 coop vs 2 coop, two campaigns vs one campaign), more badass( 300ft monster vs. 50 ft monster), better (do you really have to ask?).

Edit.
Why the disagrees?
All I stated were facts.

[sonarus]

http://vgchartz.com/games/g...

sales of resistance.

The holiday system will help motivate sales for both consoles and both games will help catalyze the quick sales. With or without gears or resistance both systems will sell well during that holday season

[juuken]

Yeah, I agree. Gears 2 does look a lot better than the first time we've seen it and it'll probably be a really good game but my money's on Resistance 2.

And sonarus...VG Chartz? Are you serious?!

[Monchichi025]

I TOTALLY AGREE!!! It seems that Sony fans try to coat-tail Resistance to Gears so it can get some credibility by having it mentioned in the same breathe. I mean, Resistance was never even CONSIDERED for any Game of the Year awards or given high review scores. It sold somewhat decent cuz it was the only decent game out for the first 8 months when Sony launched the PS3. Then it's sales numbers were inflated when it was bundled in Europe.

And Yes I will get A LOT of disagrees but someone please step up to the plate and give me some solid reasons why Resistance can even compare to Gears. I don't want fanboy dreams, I want you to show me Awards, Lists where Resistance is rated above Gears or same sales numbers! Anything solid!! I challenge you to show us something!!

[4D]

We cant compare sales of Gears Of War with sales of RFOM due to the fact that RFOM has been bundled with PS3's in different territories. So the numbers wouldnt be accurate no matter what the source is.

Theres at least 4 games so far on the PS3 that have been bundled. RFOM, Motorstorm, GTA4, MGS4. So when you guys quote sales figures just know that they have been artificially inflated.

Just like Forza 2 and Marvell Universe on 360.

Just like Wii Sports on the Wii.

[Avto]

Three million for a launch game is very good and can be considered just as good as 5 million for GeOW, as for quality of the game I will see Epic when their games will get some mo-cap animations, Resistance 2 has them.

[NO_PUDding]

'Who cares' for these reasons:

-This will be an awful translation.

-What he said if it isn't baldy translated, will mean, he think competition is good, but is takign no notice of it, becuase his game is better, so the competition he speaks of affects him evry little. While Resistance 2 will improve with it.

Just calm down. I don't care what he says anymore, different games for different tastes. I personally am a bit of a garphics whore so I will be going with Resistance 2.

[Time_Is_On_My_Side]

Yes it's pretty easy ranking up 5 million with no competition in the market. Gears of War launched November 7, 2006 and the PlayStation 3 launched November 11, 2006. So yes it's easy being the only real next generation game available on the market to rank up 5 million.

Do you really think that will happen so quickly with so much other games out there? Remember now Resistance: Fall of Man was a launch title not a game that came out a year later after the console launch. For that fact that it was a launch title going against Gears of War was pretty impressive but now the playing field is leveled.

[Chitown71291]

It's just friendly competition when u think about it. Of course Cliffy B can be an asshole at times, but this time he's not. He's just making fun at Ted Price. Come on you know Ted probally does the same thing to Gears 2 when it's just the two of them.

Cliffy B: Gears of War is going to take the crown again Ted.( he's just playing around)

Ted Price: It never had Resistance, in the first place.( he's just playing around)

Cliffy B: Aw, so why did Gears win all of those GOTY awards, hunh Ted.( he's just playing around)

Ted Price: Because Microsoft paid for it you douche. ( he's just playing around)

Cliffy B: We will see who has the last laugh this holiday season. (serious)

Ted Price: Yeah because it will be a whole different setting this time around.(serious)

Cliffy B: Wanna play some Gears Ted

Ted Price : Sure, only if u prove to me that you can beat me in Resistance.

Cliffy B: Anytime, anyday, I will kick your @ss, in Resistance and Gears.

Ted Price: Whatever you say buddy.

They go and play each others games, they complement each other on a good job they have done with the game, and us fanboys keep bickering about how much of an @sshole Cliffy B is. While he can be at times, he wasn't this time.

[sonarus]

vgchartz has gears of war at about 5million which is the last confirmed sales data. so if we accept 5million then we accept resistance 3million :D

[Monchichi025]

Your arguement of Resistance not selling as much is Hogwash!!! When Gears released it already had TONS of competition from other very good 360 games.

Resistance had NOOO competition for the first 8 months or so when the PS3 launched. What, it wasn't till Uncharted came out that another game was worth buying for the PS3?

And to add more to it, GEARS was a HUGE system seller. It helped create that large 360 install base.
Resistance, aghhh....Not so much. Resistance was only a "I want a PS3 and I need a good game to play with it." And deep down you know that's true!
(P.S) And I've gotten a lot of disagrees yet no one has provided me any info to backup those disagees.

[TOSgamer]

when it was released. Gears sold about 5 million to an installed base of 8-9 million when it was released. Which one sounds more impressive? Name one 360 launch game that got anywhere near the sales of Resistance. You won't find one. Gears looked better that's all it had going for it. Resistance had better weapons, lag free online, a much longer campaign, better weapons and AI. But it will be interesting this Nov.

[xjxdoggystyyle]

i kno.....what me and you have said..is totally true...and resitance does not even come close to bein ne where near as fun as gears..but u cant say that on n4g...or make any good or rational points about 360 vs ps3...or mods will ban u....delete your post...and or take your bubbles away....all u can do is make your point...and move on to the next thread without even reading the responses..thats pretty much what i do on this sight now...due to the pure bias sony cult this sight has turned into..including the mods..but thanks for agreeing :)

[HighDefinition]

R2 has stepped it up more the GeoW2, in almost everyway imaginable.

Try. Try to list one/few things GeoW2 has stepped up more than R2 (in respect to their originals)

have fun.

[zethos56]

Stop comparing Gears 2 and R2 like that. Gears would be crap with 60 players and R2 would be crap with only 10 players. Same with co-op.

In fact, everyone should stop comparing the two, the only thing they have in common is a November release day.

Also... Gears 2 will be a major improvement over Gears 1. Better graphics (yes they're better), a more refined cover system, fixing every single problem that Gears 1 MP had, etc.

[power of Green]

Resistance 2 will innovate? lol, the game is an ugly URT3 with a couple of more diverse modes. lol

[joten]

and GeoW2 looks like a polished URT3 with same character models and a cover system. hurr see i can make a funny too

[Domenikos]

Sorry... but i don't listen jerks.

[JBaby343]

It all boils down to which game you like better as both bring unique features and gameplay to the table. Gears 2 will definitely be worth playing but there is a reason I'm getting R2 first day.

[GUNS N SWORDS]

if gears of war 2 was on ps3, ps3 gamers would be promoting it. but that isn't the case, here on N4G no one NOT even in the open zone are willing to say so.

i'm entitled to my opinion, and if i want to fvcking say it i will, Cliff Bleszinski's right.

but that doesn't mean that i think so negatively of resistance 2, you'll be surprised.

[TheSadTruth]

***************************** ***********
Sorry but I'll take quality over quantity any day. Resistance games didn't involve teamwork or skill, they involved spawning, dieing in 3 seconds and respawning again. It has an atrocious amount of aim assist that makes Halo 3 look hard. And people have the balls to say GoW isn't innovative, they pretty much invented the cover system (idea by killswitch) and made it mainstream.

***************************** ***********
Resistance sold about 3 million copies to an installed base of under 1 million
***************************** ***********
I honestly feel sorry for you, do you really think the ps3 install base of 1 million all bought the game 3 times? Okay...

[gaffyh]

I don't think that these games even compete, Gears is a TPS and Resistance is FPS. So they have different gameplay and both games look good but it is obvious that Gears looks better. But from my own experience Resistance 1 was much better than Gears in it's story and online (from what I heard GeOW had crappy online), so I expect the same to happen with Resistance 2 vs. GeOW2.

GOW = God of War, which is a million times better than both of these games combined.

[borgome]

Nice buddy, my thoughts exactly. I've never had an experience like GeOW, but have had many like RFOM.

[borgome]

Everthing you said is based on your opinion, just because a game is bigger OBVIOUSLY doesn't mean its going to better. Try using a little more "common sense" next time bud.

[CBaoth]

Gears "popularized" the cover system. They didn't invent it, they didn't refine it. Neither did Killswitch. The 1st game on consoles to use the cover system was Winback, on the N64. You know like way back in 1999. You can even collect the main char's dog tag in MGS2 as homage. Anyway, the cover system is EXACTLY the same as today's games. Ironically, the game was developed and published by KOEI, the same ones who make the Dynasty Warriors series that everyone laughs at!

[TOSgamer]

I feel sad for you. If came up with such a moronic assumption from my statement. When did I say every ps3 owner bought 3 copies of Resistance? I was simply (obviously not simple enough for you) pointing out that Resistance had a very good tie ratio and long legs for a game that launched with such a small user base. Long legs usually = good game. But its probably my fault. I'll try to keep my statements under five words or less for the feeble minded.

[IaMs12]

For 1 gears 2 has a 5 player CO-OP mode... and its a really awesome idea of 60 player games but have you played a game that is about 30+... it gets hectic too hectic where you cant do anything at a certian point... i have just as much fun player a 4on4 Halo match too... Now then do you get to ride that 300ft monster?? i didnt think so seems to me you shoot rockets in the mouth till it sufficates on them and dies.. dont get me wrong when i first saw it i was like WHOA!! BAD A!
IMO either Resistance 2 online 60 player will rock or it will flop big time... imagine the lag on that? thats what i would be worried about Halo big team battles lag like crap lol so hopefully they have a good server to run it all on..

[SoulBrotha3292]

Gears 2 R2
Diff execuctions ??????
More guns ????
Story made ppl cry(fact) ??????
more maps
new characters
u fight an ARMY
n 2 much more

I dont no much bout r2 so yall can tell me wht they added to the game

[Time_Is_On_My_Side]

lol, Gears of War had no competition and games like Killzone 2 or Resistance 2 can't compete with each other they're on the same console. Gears of War was the first real next generation game to hit any console and was before the launch of the PlayStation 3. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune virtually came a year later Nov. 17, 2007 so it makes sense.

Just look at the life cycle of the XBOX 360 nothing really all that great until Gears of War. The PlayStation 3 nothing really all that great until Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. Put two and two together it's just common sense. The PlayStation 3 is a year behind the XBOX 360 so the big titles will naturally come first on the XBOX 360. That's just common sense.

That's the only reason why Gears of War sold so much because it had no competition in the market at the time. The very same reason why Sony's console is beaten down so much because it's a year behind. With that more PlayStation 3 games run at HD (High Definition) than the XBOX 360. The XBOX 360 didn't even have an HDMI port until the PlayStation 3 was launched.

In the end even though the PlayStation 3 is a year behind you'll find more quality video games being played. If the playing ground was leveled do you really think Perfect Dark Zero would compete with Resistance: Fall of Man, both launch titles. Instead Resistance: Fall of Man was competing with a game a year a head while Reistane: Fall of Man had to be launched with the PlayStation 3.

Just use common sense and you'll see what I'm talking about. Another game would be Ridge Racer 6 (XBOX 360) vs. Ridge Racer 7 (PlayStation 3) the PlayStation 3 version running at 1080p at 60fps at launch.

[BLuKhaos]

has anyone noticed the contrast between MS devs(arrogant i.e Cliff B.,Peter M.,Itagaki) and Sony devs(modest i.e Ted P.,Kojima)?

[ajeben809]

theres nothing worse than that. dog act. u cant jus say yeh nice try but mines better prove it with ur new innovations. oh wats that i hear uve added a party system!? wow thats a phenomenal improvement from the last i wonder wat insomniac has to show for themselves. oh wats that? 60 player MP? 8 player co-op? 2 campaigns? new chimera/ bosses/ weapons/ better graphics? nothing innovative there

[Tomdc]

there be a lot of stressy fanboys above =P

You can't say Resistance is not a good game though, I prefer it to COD4 (though most disagree with that) Its online play is brill and still fun even now. Resistance 2 also seems to have made many improvements on the original. Gears 2 also looks a very good game and we can't judge which is better untill they are released and even then opinion will differ.

[kevnb]

your mistake is, you listen to reviews. Reviews are nearly worthless right now.

[Monchichi025]

You're arguement that the 360 had no good games is totally inaccurate. Right out the jump the 360 had solid titles like Condemned, Call of Duty and Kameo. Then it was followed shortly after by Ghost Recon, Dead Rising, Rainbow Six and Oblivion. Gears just turned out to be an all time classic. Something that no one has ever said about the first Resistance.

Now you say, it's not fair to compare the two because one was a launch title and the other was not. To that I say: Boo-Hoo!! It is what it is son! It's like Islamic soldiers saying it's not fair that the U.S has bigger and better equipment then them because we're a more advanced nation. Tough!!! Reality is Reality no matter how you want to spin it!

[Jake1111]

I have both systems. I have played both games to the extent of knowing and finding almost every hidden item in the games. Therefore I KNOW both games.

Graphics:

GOW had nicer textures, colors.
RFOM had much more detailed environments.(to the extent that some detail could only be seen if you were searching everything.)

Sound:

GOW sound was good but the music was way too compressed.
RFOM sound was excellent and the music was clear.

Gameplay:

GOW cover system was great. 3rd person was good. AI was not up to par.
RFOM 1st person standard. The AI was fantastic though.

Game Length

GOW was way too short. Seemed like Epic ran out of space
RFOM was epic.

Story:

GOW's story was bland. Seemed too rushed.
RFOM's story was great. It kept you on your toes.

Boss Battles

GOW (Pathetic). Berzerker was good but that is it. Some of the bosses just sat there and spewed little bird like puss bubbles that flew at you. The large boss in the cavern was so pathetic I couldnt believe Epic threw it in. Shoot in the stomach, he opens mouth, shoot in mouth, he steps back 20 feet..... sad

RFOM. Boss battles were amazing. The AI was fantastic. ** The blue ray shines when it comes to an epic game like this. No restrictions on size = more depth of overall bosses.

Online

GOW was sad. I played it for a while but only because I was bored of COD2 online. Online CO-OP was awesome.

RFOM was fast and fun. Can definitely be improved on. Lets hope insomniac improves the depth of the online games.

Overall:

RFOM 1 is an A level game
GOW is a B level game.

I think we will see the same for GOW2 and RFOM2. The only way Epic could compete is to go multiple disks. If single disk the game again will be too short, lack depth online, lack detail of environments and size, music will be compressed, the boss fights will be on rails, etc.

[Bubble Buddy]

Ted Price is a much more humbler and respected man than Cliff.

[madestar]

i guess sometimes people can't handle the truth

[Adamalicious]

All I can say for sure is that I enjoyed Resistance more than GeoW and so I'm looking forward to Resistance 2 more than Gears 2. It does look like Gears 2 is addressing most of the gameplay issues from Gears 1, but it remains to be seen if they are fixing the non-gameplay (plot, dialogue, music, etc.) issues that absolutely plagued Gears 1 - at least for me those made the game a lot less enjoyable.

[Time_Is_On_My_Side]

lol, I never said it was unfair I said it was pretty impressive that a launch title went against a real next generation game. Yes those games are good but Gears of War was the real next generation game to actually it the console.

Comparing Gears of War 2 and Resistance 2 is actually at the same level now. Epic games made three big next generation titles as well as Insomnica. With the time frames if Microsoft didn't release the XBOX 360 a year early games like Killzone 2, Heavy Rain: The Origami Killer, God of War 3, Infamous, etc. would have killed Microsoft's line-up.

In conclusion I was just simply stating that Gears of War came out at the right time when there was no competition. It's like Motor Storm coming out with no other racer on the market. That is what drove the sales this time around it's different Sony released their console. That was the point I was trying to come across not that it's unfair because of the time-frames. One thing I would like to know is, what did I try to spin?

A good analogy would be Sony has three-hundred soldiers, Microsoft has one-thousand, and Nintendo has five-thousand. Sony is putting up a good fight with significantly less number of soldiers which is impressive.

[dktxx2]

He tried to be humble but like always he's still an arrogant jackass.

[RawPowah]

Wasn't CliffyB the same guy that said MGS4 was passive entertainment aka a borefest?

I think this guy goes into Interviews with a rather Childish mentality.

[juuken]

Yes he said that Raw.

[SaiyanFury]

Agreed. He loves to piss on the competition. Always says something attacking the competition when the competition never attacks his own products.

"CliffyB do you take Don Mattrick to be your lawfully wedded partner?"
"I do."

[JBaby343]

Cliffy and Ted completely different. One needs to say his game is better and can't avoid doing it but the other doesn't so leaves the topic alone.

[AKIronMaiden]

Completely Agree. Saying something like that is just distasteful, even if they are friends. And By the way, Cool Priest Avatar.

[NowGen]

get out of the kitchen. LOL. sony fans never change. you guys are tight! what do you expect him to say. if that tom guy got interviewed, not that anyone would want to hear his thoughts anyway. but if he did he would say the same thing. so what! get over it. come this fall i get to play both of them. and i"ll be loving it. while you biased ass mother f'ers will still be screaming at each other hear on n4g.

[mfwahwah]

Ted was asked about this in a gamespot interview, and guess what he said? Something along the lines of "We'll have 2 great games to play this fall."

If Clifford said "in my opinion" or "I think" then this would have been a much different situation.

[The Lazy One]

You should always take things that are translated to spanish, then retranslated to english as what was actually said.

DONOTWANT

[toughNAME]

Quit stating the obvious Cliffy

[lodossrage]

If you think the man from epic is gonna say ANY sort of notion about the competition being better in any way then you're crazy.

[callahan09]

How can there possibly be more disagrees than agrees on your comment, lodossrage? It makes no sense to disagree! Of course it's his bias that makes Cliffy say his game is better. Makes perfect sense.

[lodossrage]

That's why I have so many disagrees man. Common sense is the minority around here at n4g

[heroman711]

Its not like cliffy was wrong

[lodossrage]

Last I remember an opinion is one's own personal perspective.

So just as you can sit there and say "it's not like he was wrong", someone else can sit there and just as easily say "it's not like he's right"

[RememberThe357]

@3.5(or I guess 0.1...) thank you for you not dumb comment you deserve some bubbles.

[AStupidXbot]

I'm A Stupid Xbot, I own a defective machine that Cliff made a game exclusively, Cliff is saying that 8-coop player campain, 2 full campain modes, and 60 player battles is inferior than what Smears of War 1.5 has. I can not beleive I support a defective console that has this noob.

[360 man]

u need to chillout man

[dachiefsman]

you are hilarious. Do you get paid by Sony cause you really should.

[AngryXbot]

He is a moron to think that Resistance 2 falls short.

Thats what people said about Call of Duty 4 when Infinity Ward said they were going after Halo. Look at what happened. Who owned Halo in 2007?

OWNED!

Resistance 2 does things Queers of war 1.5 can only dream about. SCALE baby. Only possible thanks to Blu Ray. And what does this nerd has to show for? A flamethrower and a move stolen from metal gear solid (use enemy as shield)?

The arrogance.

[Kleptic]

well what exactly is he supposed to say?..."yeah Gears 2 is not quite up to par with Resistance 2"...I am sure MS would love that...

judge for yourself...they are both going to be huge games for their respective platform...where Resistance 2 has made giant leaps compared to Resistance 1, Gears 2 is just a more polished version of Gears 2...however Resistance 1 wasn't nearly as polished as Gears 1...so this time around they will be much closer to equal imo...

but they are also very different games...Resistance 2 will have ridiculously giant battles both online and off...but will most likely lack some of the up close detail that is really all that UE3 shines at...

besides...Killzone 2 is what Sony is pushing on the visual front...and notice Cliffy B. quickly dodges questions about that game whenever possible...

[PS3rd the Turd]

Stop talking to yourself NASIM.

Xbox 360 has the best games. Everyone knows it.

Resistance 2(hahahahahahahha on PS3 this is actually considered a big title).....why is Resistance even being compared to the sequel to 2008's GOTY???????????????? DESPERATE PS3 FANBOYS HAVE NOTHING. That's why.

LBP

Um.....
Socom- (CRAP download made by a reject Sony developer)

Motorstorm 2 hahahhahahahahha!!!!!

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Disgea 3 hahahahahhahaha!!!!

Last place PS3rd is a funny joke. Look at the games comparison.There is no comparison. Everything on Xbox 360 will crush the PS3rd's wanna-be's and PS3rd doesnt even have anyhting except Resistance(will be DESTROYED BY GEARS) and Little Big Planet. hahahahhahaha

Right now...Xbox 360 has 13 AAA titles and PS3rd has 5. That's 8 more than the PS3rd..............--->

I GUARANTEE YOU, that by the end of this year...Xbox 360 will extend that lead and have 9 or 10 more AAA titles than the PS3rd. It's going to happen.

PS3rd is the last-place second-hand console this generaiton, getting NO RPG's and having to rely on C-grade Sony developers hahahahahhaa

Xbox 360 WILL CRUSH the PS3rd line-up again. Les wait and see.

I GUARANTEE YOU. Xbox 360 will prove this again while PS3rd sits in last place.

[Spread Butt Cheeks]

why do people compare R2 to GeOW2. They are totally different styles of shooters. if i wanted a game with crappy army guys / aliens i'd buy resistance. if i wanted the best graphics to date i'd buy....of wait....i already have gears of war.

[SlappyMcTaint]

Sounds so to me since he has to stoop to bashing the competition. Resistance 2 > Queers of War

[syanara]

yet again Denial like never before it doesn't even pay to talk to fanboys as bad as urself. in a nutshell u said that every ps3 game that hasnt come out yet sucks and every xbox 360 game is like the returning of christ. honestly dude I don't know what would happen if all of the sudden gears 2 flopped and the ps3 started kicking ass what would u do then if it was completly the other way around. either continue deniability or make a new account and start loving the ps3 which is probably what u should do right now just in case LOL

"I'm A Stupid Xbot, I own a defective machine that Cliff made a game exclusively, Cliff is saying that 8-coop player campain, 2 full campain modes, and 60 player battles is inferior than what Smears of War 1.5 has. I can not beleive I support a defective console that has this noob."

Quote this for truth ^

[morganfell]

Here is a fact. When these bots talk about a games coming this fall, all you hear is "We've got Gears 2....and uh...Gears2...and uh, did I already say Gears2?"

PS3 fans talk about R2. They talk about a kickass time in SOCOM. They laugh about what a blast it will be in Little Big Planet.

The other 360 titles coming down are pretty worthless. Quality. That's what the PS3 brings to the table. Not a one trick pony.

[Fishy Fingers]

Well that's the difference between the pair. When asking Ted similar questions he tactfully manages to avoid saying which game (he thinks) will be better.

Now you can look into that anyway you like, but personally I think it's because he doesnt crave the media attention CliffyB, sorry the artist formally known as CliffyB does.

[The Wood]

bubble for you and ted;)

Its almost like all who are hired by their respective companies act just like them

[iceman2885]

I was thinking the same exact thing. Just do the normal thing and say they each offer different gameplay elements and they are awesome in their own right. You can say you prefer your game over theirs but don't say it pales in comparison and say your game is 100x better, that's just being arrogant and stuck up.

*sharpens pitchfork*

[iceice123]

Is set to sell three times as many copies as R2, the generic FPS that does nothing new. Gears 2 is all about perfecting its innovative Third person combat, while R2 is about being as generic as the first. R2 brings nothing new to FPS gaming, it steals from others and mashes it into a generic experience. Of course Gears of war 2 will be the top dog this holiday season, just like it crushed R1 it shall crush R2.

Poor lemmings get left b3hind with a trash game like R2 while true gamers, 360 owners, will be enjoying the best gaming experience this year.

[vlazed]

So how is Gears of War 2 innovative?

[digger18]

Icewake

True gamers will have both consoles and buy both games.

[morganfell]

vLazed - Gears has an extra weapon, fight with a chainsaw while you are being shot, and 1 extra person for your online team for a total of 5. Now that's innovation. That's pushing the envelope. Yippppeeee!

[Common Sense]

and this video begs to differ.
http://www.gametrailers.com...

[Greysturm]

A) gears third person innovative combat......killswitch
B) r2 bring nothing new to fps.........Dynamic objective system multiplayer, 8 player coop campaign and the usual assortment of insomniacs innovative and unusual weapons.
C) Real gamers..................play both and enjoy both

[juuken]

...Can I borrow your crystal ball?

You're only saying that because it's a PS3 game and you want Gears 2 to destroy Resistance 2.

I'm sorry but even though I said Gears 2 would probably be a really good game, Resistance 2 has the potential to kick some serious ass.

I suggest looking at the trailer because that Leviathan is one BIG ASS MONSTER that I will have fun just trying to figure out how to take down. :)

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi]

Can't you just buy 'Gears of War 2' on your P.C next year???
A better Version to??? (Like 'Gears of War 1')
What's the Point of owning a xBox 360??? Er i don't know really...

[Hububla]

Im not really sure how you guys get this... whats so innovative about.. cover...shoot...cover....shoot ..cover...shoot... chainsaw....cover....shoot... throw nade down hole... cover...shooot... throughout the ENTIRE game... dam thats some first rate innovation right there.. and im not even gunna get started how they up'd the bar with that MASSIVE 5on5 online.. whoa! epic are CRAZY!! and yea GeoW won game of the year.. but what was it going up against... umm a whole lot of nothing... i can guarantee that its not even gunna be game of the month this time..

[YogiBear]

I think a true gamer would have shut the fvck up by now and played a video game.

[cheezypantz]

umm.... innovative 3rd person shooter????? wow ur an idiot.

there are lots of 3rd person shooters, the first that comes to mind is SOCOM 1-confrontation......they have been out a hell of a lot longer.

then there is GTA, many survival/horror games

u gotta be one dumb motherf###er to think that their 3rd person view is innovative. i do beleive that SOCOM was around long before the IDEA of Geow

GRAW2 has a great 3rd person/OTS view, and its the SAME VIEW as Geow2 i will admit R2 is a lot like most other FPS, but the features it allows is whats attractive, and being a generic FPS isnt that bad because it allows people to easily adapt to the game. i can argue that COD4, Galo3, and many, many other games are generic FPS's but nobody would listen to me, although they undoubtedly are.

[pp]

Hahahaha poor angry droids upset because they didn't like what Cliff Bleszinski had to say about crappy resistence 1.5 (GO CRY IN THE CORNER) Hahahahaha

[IzKyD1331]

resistance 1.5?
thats the first time i've ever heard that....so improved graphics, mega innovative multiplayer including (you guessed it) 60 players and 8 player co-op which happens to be a seperate campaign altogether....5vs5 is always fun right?

[Ali_The_Brit]

who gives a crap what some retard has to say about it?

[morganfell]

This is how you can tell Epic is worried. Cliff has to now go on the offensive against R2. Their game can't stand on it's own, they have to sweat over Resistance 2 - a game that has not One campaign, but Two. Not Two Player Co-op, but Eight Player Co-op. Not Co-op on the Single Player Game but Co-op in a brand new and different campaign specifically designed for Co-op. Not Ten people online, but Sixty. Can you say value?

I am sure the bots would like 2 campaigns but when you have an outdated storage medium that John Carmack laughs at what do you expect. Enjoy your 6 hour campaign.

Yeah, they should be worried. BTW, how's that Gears of War 2 beta working out for you?

[4D]

They are all in here with multiple accounts. Taking bubbles. Hitting disagrees on all Xbot comments. Hitting agree on all fellow PS3tard comments. Running damage control. Spreading FUD. And claiming RFOM is a system seller.

LMAO. The only reason RFOM sold anything was because PS3 owners had nothing else to play at launch and it was bundled in Europe and other territories. If it were on the 360 it wouldn't have cracked a million thats for sure.

PS3tards are a bunch of insecure f*ckwads who can't stand it that any console that isn't made by Sony has success. Get over yourselves. Stop sipping that Sony coolaid. All of your comments reak of jealousy.

Heres the difference. PS3tards want Gears 2. Xbots dont want or need RFOM2.

Bend over juuken I got a size 13 shoe with your name on it b!tch...

[Shane Kim]

hahaha bubbles for you. I laughed so hard reading your comment :P.

[juuken]

4D...that sounds a lot like you!

360 fanatics have been doing the same exact thing!

Ya hypocritical jackass.

And morgan, that was funny as hell.

Oh? Slamming a disagree button because it's true? So my eight bubbles magically vanished all by themselves? You 360 fanatics were planning on stealing bubbles from PS3 owners from since Day One. Don't accuse people of doing things when you do the same sh*t.

[morganfell]

PS3 fans worried? Really you moron? Who had to go on the attack first because they were worried? Who is the real retard that started this mess 4d punk? Who?

Scared and worried Cliffy, that's who. He is so scared he can't pick a damn hairstyle.

Console not a success? Explain how a year head start has done nothing for you as the PS3 has outsold the 360 worldwide in 2007 and 2008 to the point it is now is breathing down your neck. Recently even slashing the 360 price couldn't get it into the top 15 on Amazon while the 80GB PS3 bundle was number 1 or 2 every day.

Explain how the PS3 utterly crushed the HD disk format supported by the 360 and is now crushing the built disk format DVD9.

You are a punk and and an ignorant one at that. It is obvious from your post you are having a cow over the fact that Gears is going to get crushed by true innovation. This isn't 2006 where Gears hits the shelf with no other games.

Sorry, but it is patently, blatantly obvious you feel like you have been kicked in the gut because your precious little Gears isn't the big dog any more. You are angry your console is getting hammered with left and rights so fast it will be on the canvas before it can scream.

Feature for feature in the game, Gears of War 2 just got curb stomped by Resistance 2.

[Xbox is the BEST]

I don't get it. PS#3 out sold the 360 last year but if you compared both systems lifetime videogame sales at almost there 2nd year out 360 wipes the floor with the PS#3. Feature for feature? HA plenty games have more features than other games and they sucked, sooo let's not get hyped for an average game.

[morganfell]

Don't worry, I know Gears 2 is average and I am not excited for it. Thanks for the concern buddy! And more games does not equal more quality games. Didn't you see the recent metacritic survey?

Here:

http://www.n4g.com/gaming/N...

The PS3 beats the 360. They both scored the same high scores but the 360 had far lower scores. So there's your extra games pal.

[Xbox is the BEST]

I did not see the latest survey I'm on vacation in Jamaica. Now do you think Devs look at surveys or how much money they can make? One PS#3 game rated "AAA" MGS4. The 360 will have a lower score (more games out) not every game is going to be a Masterpiece like Sony fans claiming with the long games list, and when more games get released for the PS#3 guess what PS#3 score will be lower. Look at the ratings for mutliplats and exclusives. 360 got more "AAA" and better games. Survey HA nice try thou

[morganfell]

You are talking about having a lot of games and I am telling you that Metacritic, that doesn't screw around and if you know how Metacritic works then you can comprehend that, has the tally.

The issue here is you don't like what the tally is telling you. It isn't a survey, it's an amalgamation of the scores and you obviously don't like what those scores have to say and the fact they indicate that more 360 games suck than PS3 games. Tough, but that's the way it is. Massive numbers mean little when you have a large number of duds.

Imelda Marcos had more shoes than god but those were the ugliest shoes ever. So numbers mean squat.

[dwjohnson011211]

Can you tell us something we dont know?

How does Gears 2 and Resistance 2 play? You don't know so shut the hell up! Everyone else WAIT TILL THEY COME OUT and accept that both should KICKASS 10 player's, 60 player's or whatever. Your a bunch of freaking tools, even your billy idol Ted Price admits both systems are going to have a bad ass winter thanks to do these games and should be fantastic additions to any self respecting gamer's library.

SERIOUSLY WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THE HATE???????? The original Gears of War is phenomenal.

[Boink]

yes they are both shooters, but to me GOW is more of a tactical game, and RFOM is more of a run n'gun.

both good, but completely different game types. they both look amazing graphically though...

[eagle21]

Resistance 2 has 8 player co op too buddy. What happened to yours? :)

[Daz]

so what lol. i Have more sweets i win because i have more. yay

Sounds childish dont your think?

Just enjoy the games dont be a noob.

[eagle21]

Don't get mad at the truth. Resistance 2 has twice the features and it's an FPS at that.

Childish is when a story reported by Kotaku today "Bioshock PS3 Looks Better, Plays Harder says IGN" gets 9 approvals and then fails suddenly for no reason. Yeah, that's childish.

http://www.n4g.com/NewsPend...

[dachiefsman]

you posted a snippet whereas bloodmask posted the whole article. you might want to go back and see why your article fails.

[heroman711]

@ eagle
so what if resistance 2 has more features? more features doesn't mean all those features will be fun

[eagle21]

Where is your 8 player co op? Two campaigns, 60 player MP? Oh yeah, you shirked it...lol :)

[digger18]

Yes I agree that the first Gears was awesome looking and the second Gears will still be a first day buy for me.

But I'd still rather have a game with a great story and game play like Resistance, than a linear, run, hide behind something, shoot and then repeat game like Gears, plus it has no real story to it.

Gears is great for a mindless shoot em up, that I play when I'm bored.

[cmrbe]

the majority of x360 owners are mindless hehe. Heck. The bought a system with a 1 in 3 chance of breaking down. What do you expect. They love mindless shoot'em ups. Story??. hehe.

[nycredude]

I think all you have to do is look at the two different interviews between cliffy b and ted price and it is quite obvious who is the better, more mature developer.

When is this guy going to shut up and just worry about his game and stop talking down on other peers? It just shows the world what a douche he is!

@sonarus
Your entire post doesn't make much sense. You are telling that resistance only has the edge because of their coop and multiplayer, and then proceeds to state that resistance will probably have a better story. For this type of game isn't the coop play and multiplayer, as well as the story like 2/3rd of the entire package? Then you go on and say single player (1/3rd of the game) will probably be better in gears? How? Because the inferior story? have you played both and know what the gameplay will be like?

According to your analysis, gears is only 1/3rd of what Resistance will be, albeit with slightly better gameplay. Since both games will be priced the same I now know which is the better deal.

[JBaby343]

As I said up above: Cliffy and Ted are completely different. One needs to say his game is better and can't avoid doing it but the other doesn't so leaves the topic alone.

Everyone just play the one you like or even better play both. (although I admit I like Resistance better)

[Chandresh Patel]

Gears superior quality?That must be why his game couldn't run smoothly at E3

[i_like_ff7]

Cliff isnt being arrogant. He's promoting his game. What did you expect him to say?

[nycredude]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with promoting you own game, as a matter of fact everyone does it and it's their job. However their are mature ways to go about it without dissing other people's work adn looking like a total immature douchebag! just check out any Ted Price interview and take some notes, Cliffy B!!!

This is why he will forever be called Cliffy B!

[gdguide]

Class vs a$$... 8 co op vs ....... Increase MP by 2 players vs increase MP by more players than Gears allows online. LOL.

[Cerberus_Hunter]

But my money goes to Insomniac for longer game and better story.

[Daz]

your know the storeys all ready? Your good.

I thought both story's was ok on the first games. resistance was a bit better. BUt i wait and see if it different for the squels.

[Common Sense]

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

[krik]

@Daz

If you played both GeoW and R1 you know that GeoW's story is pure crap while R1's story was ok. Chances are R2 will have a better story. Of course I will only know after I play both sequels :)

[Cerberus_Hunter]

It's an opinion just like Epic's Cliff Bleszinski.

And use spell check more often...

[Kratos_1986]

"I'm A Stupid Xbot, I own a defective machine that Cliff made a game exclusively, Cliff is saying that 8-coop player campain, 2 full campain modes, and 60 player battles is inferior than what Smears of War 1.5 has. I can not beleive I support a defective console that has this noob."

[dkgshiz]

In the end gears 2 is just gears 1 with newer features. It just looks the same. 8 player online is pretty boring. 60 player online on R2 is much better. Obviously hes not going to say his game isn't better than R2! I think R2 is going to smoke Gears 2. R1 was really good. R2 is going to be even better. For the fun factor. R2 is going to smoke it. Gears does have better graphics but who cares? Graphics really don't matter to me. If a game just has good graphics, what does it have? If the game play is just boring the game sucks ass. These idiots really shouldn't ask people who are obviously going to be biased. Ask someone who doesn't just play the 360.

[juuken]

"I'm A Stupid Xbot, I own a defective machine that Cliff made a game exclusively, Cliff is saying that 8-coop player campain, 2 full campain modes, and 60 player battles is inferior than what Smears of War 1.5 has. I can not beleive I support a defective console that has this noob."

*shrugs* QFT?

[krik]

How the heck does he know the quality of Resistance 2? He has no clue about R2's quality. As always CliffyBoy is talking sh1t about crap he doesn't know. Nothing new.

[LiquifiedArt]

ARE you kidding me. What a lousy developer. This is one of those "nerds" who wanted to be in with the supermodels all his life but was still a nerd no matter how hard he has tried. Hes like that young yappy dog you just wanna smack so that it humbles itself instead of barking at what it cant bite.

Ugh

[gavrila]

Lol my Di*k is longer so is better !
More players doesent means better multiplayer. Lol u guys leaving in a dream world
Anyway, Gears is in another league. U cant compare that sh*t that was Resistance with Gow. Only if u look at the scores.

U guys can dream. But when the games are launched, u can cry here.

[YogiBear]

While you are checking N4G for the people crying I'll be playing Resistance 2.

Enjoy your game

[CR7JUVE1897]

How the f#$k do you still have 2 bubbles!? >:(

EDIT: Oh, wait. I stand corrected! He IS down to one bubble! My bad! :)

[rexor0717]

For all who say Gear's gameplay is better, why? A cover system? How about R2 creative weapons? Graphics? Gears may have better textures, but the scale of R2 flatout beats it. Online? Last time I checked, Im sure you could play 30v30...not 5v5 in R2. Story, who knows. But Im going for the complete package, R2.

[CViper]

I'm not. The game will probably sell as well as the first one. Its a good game, but its nothing remarkable, like Cliff pretends it to be.

And as far as technical specs go. Resistance 1 was the superior engine. Pretty much anything hand made is more advanced than the aging Unreal Engine. I know no one wants to hear that, but PC gamers had our fill of the unreal engine years ago. Its great for 1 off action games, but its not going to be winning any "OH MY SWEET CHRIST LOOK AT THE LIGHTING, AMOUNT OF DETAIL GOING ON THE SCREEN, HIGH RESOLUTION TEXTURES, WATER DYNAMICS, ANIMATION BLENDING, and Streaming." Like many of the better looking games post Gears have achieved.

The Tech demo didn't translate into game play at all. Which is usual with epic, considering they still bullshot everyone into buying their games.

Gears of War 2 "In Game"

http://i28.tinypic.com/96z2...

[mirroredderorrim]

Gears was more hyped than Resistance. Gears came off to me as a movie when I first laid eyes on the commercial. While I liked Gears, it was no where near the intensity I had when I first heard and saw the commercial advertising it.

I think Resistance did pretty well selling at a less hyped approach. While Sony is advertising, I don't think it's anything like the quality of Xbox ads in terms of glamour and image appeal.

I even have reason to believe Sony is saving the extra advertising money and putting it into the games. I mean that is the way I explain it to myself. The best commercial I have seen to date is the PS3 commercial that shows the PS3 morphing into different things. It was very nicely done and kicked momentum up a notch.

Advertising is almost like garnering morale for your product. The better at it you are, the more people will be interested in your product, making you more money in the end.

Edit: I agree with many other people that first parties will be the decisive in this "console war".
I will even go as far to say that Microsoft is starting to notice that Sony was right all along with their way of thinking. Not buying exclusivity the way they used to, saving money for development.

If Microsoft would have done all of this from the get-go, having the cash to do it, they could have buried the industry and held it at the center of their money making fortess in Redmond.

[CViper]

I think they know the games will sell well and make their target goals over time. Instead of trying to make the most by spending say, 10 million dollars for advertising, to make the same #'s nintendogs did in a short amount of time.

It just begs the question, why spend 10 million on advertising, when you can sell the same amount of copies without it over a longer period.

[Resistance2]

Gears of war will sell more but Resistance will be the better game.

[mirroredderorrim]

That same 10 million would go a long way in terms of development, and while I know 50-100 is almost not enough these days, in the thinking of old ways "every little bit counts"

[Bazookajoe_83]

I hate when journalist asks this kind of questions, this is like the one with hirai and the bullet...

[FantasyStar]

I know both games are going to rule. But which one will be a bang for the buck?

[Bigrhyno]

I don't know which will be better, but either way I am ready for "Cliffy B" (I don't care if he doesn't want to be called that anymore, if you are dumb enough to ever have that as your nickname then you deserve to be called it) to stfu.

[Howler9443]

Well, I respect Cliffy for his work on Gears. I personally REALLY enjoyed the game immensely. That being said, I play Resistance a good bit and continually find myself drawn back to playing that game.

Its difficult to say which game will be bigger this holiday season. Sure, I'd like to say R2, as thats my gut feeling. I think this is because from what I've seen thus far, GeoW2 appears to be more of the same, with some tweaks. R2 seems to try and do more. 60player online, with squads and specific objectives, 8player co-op with a separate story that, while shorter than the campaign, is to dove tail nicely into what happens in the single player game.

I think Insomniac has been able to develop a rather compelling story and setting for an FPS game. It doesn't feel too contrived. With Gears I felt that Cliff & co. had a cool idea for a stop and pop third person game, but kind of struggled with a story behind it. There really wasn't that much info on the Gear's Locust and whats going on and such. I suppose to some extent that could be argued of R:FoM, but R:FoM seems to be MUCH better at telling the story to me.

With regards to Ted and Cliff, its plain to me that Ted is a class act where Cliffy is more of an ass act.

Just my two bits.

[Pseudo_Clash]

Hilarious!!! Since when did programers start to bake in tanning beds and cap their teeth so white. what a homo. i can tell what he's thinking, "look at me i'm not a nerd anymore...i hang out in hollywood...i have a tan and white teeth that will blind you"

[wangdiddy82]

but resistance 2 will be better.. Gears 2 looks too much like gears one.. Everything from the enviroments to everything else about the game.. Resistance 2 looks way different than the first 1.. And we all know which game will have a better story..

[jmare]

A guy making a game says it's better than another guy's game. Oh my God. I think I'm gonna have a heart attack. Please, please, somebody tell me that grass is green and the sky is blue! Please! Somebody else say something completely obvious and expected.

(Note: This last statement is not meant to imply that Gears 2 is better than Resistance 2, time will tell on that account, so suck it fanboys, just that it is obvious and completely expected that the Lead Designer of a game is going to say that his game is better than someone else's, especially a game that will be directly competing with his game.)

Edit: Also, can every fanboy please stop being total bags of douche about this? 360 fans love gears and PS3 fans love Resistance. Neither side is going to convince the other that it is wrong, so give it a rest. It's like masturbating without the reward of getting off.

[JEDI WOLVERINE]

"Now I wonder which game is bigger (60 Mp vs 10 Mp, 8 coop vs 2 coop, two campaigns vs one campaign), more badass( 300ft monster vs. 50 ft monster), better (do you really have to ask?). "

People like you still dont get it do you?

Please let me educate you - bigger/more is not any guarantee of being better.

Smaller more intricately paced games with tighter gameplay usually > big games with not much depth.

An analogy if you will.........Youve been invited to 2 nightclubs,which do you choose?

Nightclub A - 10000sq feet,2000 people + average atmosphere

Nightclub B - 5000sq feet,1500 people + atmosphere to die for.

Me - im going for the fun.

[bozhangles]

i agree. bubble.

[Common Sense]

"Please let me educate you - bigger/more is not any guarantee of being better."
Tell that to CliffyB.

It's all about options.

Resistance gives you the option of playing an epic game with 60 people and you can play a much smaller game with much fewer people.

With Gears, there isn't an option. You are confined to 10 people. What happens when you crave an EPIC online battle?

"Nightclub B - 5000sq feet,1500 people + atmosphere to die for"

With that many people in confined space, they'll all suffocate. It will indeed create an atmostphere to die for (literally) . Resistance 2 has more depth and a better storyline to create a much more visceral experience than Gears 2. Resistance 2 also has more variety.

[Diugu]

1500 at 5000 sq feet?!

O.O

I hope you guys dont get lost in R2 in coop / split screen mod cuz there is no indication where the hell is your partner. Really nice innovation i must say.

[morganfell]

Oh so you have played R2? No. Your opinion is just another barnyard chicken lamenting the dying 360. Bock bock bock...

I guess 360 fans have to be hand held and the number of players kept to a bare minimum so no one gets confused.

[Blink_44]

Cliff's a D-Bag.

[LiquifiedArt]

Everything about R2 will beat gears. Especially in one key aspect....LONGEVITY Its just too much of an offering to not buy a ps3. And with LBP, MS2 and the other unique exclusives REAL Exclusives (ONLY ON PS3) already out ps3 is gonna see huge sell-through this holiday.

[Chippydip]

taht the game developers are friends but we're bickering about systems.

it's pretty pointless. i mean, he seems like a really cool guy that just happens to think gears of war is better than resistance. i mean, sh1, that's pretty cool attitude to have. not all serious and ominous like the oldfarts that talk for their respective companies

[kumashii38]

basically,almost no developer says "Our game is worse than theirs, so i want you to buy our game!"

all developers should be proud of their products.
to be so, they have to work hard to develop great games.

but, the best thing is that each developer admires and criticizes each other's game.

anyway, both Resistance 2 and Gears 2 are going to be great games.

[Sez]

i can't wait for gears 2 to be released. with fable 2,gears 2,ToV,IU,banjoo 3 my 08 is set.

holy f*ck, you're dumb, lol.

[djtek184]

Queers of Whore 2= no innovations

[PoorDroids]

Portable Cover? Do I have to mention anything else?

Dumb droids. Please list me all the innovations in R2? There are none.

Owned. Eat sh1t, dumb droids.

[djtek184]

@5.3 yes keep telling yourself that, maybe there's no such thing as an rrod too?

[kai_h]

I believe that Cliff is acting very immature, and arrogant.

With Ted Price, (during the Hip Hop Gamer's interview) he was asked if Resistance 2 was going to beat Gears of War 2. And all he said was something along the lines of, "If you have both a PS3 and Xbox 360, you're going to have a great holiday season." Ted Price was very humble.

Cliff, on the other hand, just plainly stated that Gears of War 2 is better than Resistance 2.

[dragonZ28]

Maybe it's just me, but I would rather play a 4v4 or 5v5 game than a 30v30 game. The main reason I say this is that it takes more skill and requires you to play as a team. 30v30 is just hectic BS with a bunch of stray bullets coming from all directions and nobody on the team has a realistic view of what the other team may be thinking. GOW forces your 4 man team to play as a team and makes communication the most important factor. This actually brings you, as the gamer, more into the game than a 30v30 game will ever do.

30v30 is just carnage. 4v4 or 5v5 is pretty reasonable. More players does not make for the better experience; I am sick of hearing that argument.

[jmare]

It's all about preference and Insomniac has said several times that the 60 players will be split up into small squads and occaisionally bring everyone together for a huge battle. Sometimes you want a balls out firefight fragfest and sometimes you want a more tactical experience. Just because you can play with 60 players doesn't mean you have to.

[DaTruth]

Resistance2 has 5vs5 and when you get tired of that you can play 30vs30.

[YogiBear]

It's small squad based combat on a large scale. Bigger will be better.

[dragonZ28]

I would just like to add that Sony fanboys rule and troll this site, so take away some more bubbles please. God forbid I don't swing on Sony nuts. I'd just like to add that I have a PS3, and if I can avoid having to be a fanboy, so can you.

[LiquifiedArt]

Xbox Fanboys (RULED) this site and Us Sony Bretheren TOOK IT BY FORCE. Because what us Day 1 OWners were saying all alone was that Sony is Quality and they haven't let us down in the past 10 yrs and won't let us down in the next 10.

I stopped Coming to N4G wayy back right after ps3 launched I was constantly reading PS3 Bashing Day in and Day Out for Almost a YEAR before the ps3 even touched down. Then once it did, every yelled about price, then about this, then about that. Well since fw2.4 There isnt as much to complain about, and the PS3 is really in its stride. The capabilties of the PS3 are out in the open now, and the Exclusives show you what it can do. PS3 For LIFE.

(Next time dont doubt)

WE BAND OF BROTHERS!

[cellfluid]

And the only reason halo sold anything because xbox gamers had nothing 2 play with buddie.. Ya console is n jeapordy. look what happen to the 1st xbox abandon. Its gonna b the same with 360 mirror edge lead platform ps3.. Its startin 2 take notice.developers r cross back home.the new rage/doom lead platform ps3.. 2 years from now 360 will b n the bargen bin.. Ps3 game tag (cellfluid)

[PoorDroids]

LMFAO. owned.

And yes I am getting R2, but we all know it's nothing compared to Gears.

[Sez]

i agree with you.imho R2 doesn't appeal to me. maybe because the first one sucked for me. i just feel like R2 is just much of the same. i will rent it at most.

[shysun]

Well, Gears2 does "look better". I liked Gears1 better than R:tfom(except for online). So I can see Gears being the better game but R2 doesn't look like a push over this time. I think the game modes in R2 may push it over the top as a more complete game.

[jonboi24]

Both games will be great but how can anyone know if either games will be better if no one as even played both in their entirety and that includes Cliff. Seriously they both may be shooters but their two completely different shooters.

[IQUITN4G]

Gears is regarded very highly in the industry while Resistance1 rather less so.People obviously don't like this plain to see truth

[otherZinc]

everyone knows RFOM was severely average & not on any level close to a Gears or Halo game, so keep the dream alive fanboys.

Enjoy the terrible Resistance, SOCOM, MotorStorm, & LBP sales. That right, I'm calling out all garbage. Think I'm wrong? lets pull this thread January 1, 2009!

[mistertwoturbo]

So by your logic, Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect, Bioshock, are all garbage because they didn't hit 6 million in sales.

So who's the real fanboy here? Go to the open zone.

[YogiBear]

The only garbage I see is your post. I think it's time to take out the trash.

[mfwahwah]

Can't wait to see your posts after '08. That's if you're brave enough to even use the same account (I'll be watchin' you sucka!).

[SmokingMonkey]

30 vs 30 falling short?!
8 online co cop falling short?!

NO 5 on 5 for $50 is falling short! 2 online co op is fallig SHORT!

he's just defending his game R2 will be better IMO

[Solid_Snake]

just because that is what 360 owners like and play. Everyone who wanted to play the original Gears played it already and will get this one. So it will sell more. R2 may appeal to people who got a ps3 after launch, and will sell more than the original. But, the bottom line is, PS3 owners do not play these type of games as much as 360 owners do. PS3 owners don't like Gears or Halo; they would have gotten one if they did.

[N2NOther]

He's obviously taking the piss. It's just friendly ribbing.

[Xbox is the BEST]

killed R1 for me was the controls (too loose) and dumb A.I.

[IQUITN4G]

Yeah but it's gameplay that can fall short not it's tech.Forever pulling numbers out is all you Resistance guys ever do when comparing

[tako2000]

what can you expect, it's Cliff B we are talking about here. Of course he is gonna stand for GearoW2.

BTW, neither developer or publisher ever describe RS2 or KZ2 as "halo killer" or "GearoW killer"...these phrases came from game reporter who want to flame thing up!

[Xheratuul]

xbots are like Uwe Bolls

[Silogon]

Gears 2 looks better (graphically) but I'll be damned if it looks like the better game.

[360TurdDump]

INCOMING TURD DUMP!
*sh*ts on Gears 2*

[bunbun777]

Apologies if i missed it but did any1 else see this quote?

Cliff Bleszinski: Yes, the truth is that I quite like and is something that I have been considering, make a game of family-oriented children, which would mean a radical change with respect to the latter work and also I find it interesting.

WTF?! He has to be kidding right? I mean anything is possible but c'mon-

[Silogon]

Why is this so strange? He helped create Jazz Jack Rabbit early on. Nothing shocking about a look back into his roots.

[Sitdown]

I think the translation of the website is too horrible for anybody to be trying to hold a war on what he did or did not say. Then to top it off.....you are reading words, so you do not necessarily know the spirit of it. Geeez...calm down guys.........I think some of you are more uptight than the actual developers of the game.....and guess what, they are the ones getting paid.

[TheXgamerLive]

The English translation was horrid, lol!!

[Fatmanp]

The reason R1 sold so well is because it wa bundled ith nearly ever PS3 in the Uk and Europe. Not only that it was the only decent launch game which mean it was the must have game.

[assassin223]

but yet people forget that gears also had a bundle

http://www.myxbox360.com/ne...

[project76dodo]

F##CK queersofWar

but indefense what can the a-Hoole say his game sucks?

i think he is just trying to boost the dragging spirits of xbots

sad really

did bots see Heavy Rain pics?
thats prob why all the GOW2 talk

sad

sony for the win

[SpartanZero]

The reason for Cliff bringing this up is cause he knows that gears is gonna own resistance real bad

[u got owned]

A lot of sensitive people here, Cliff is promoting he's game and he is very confident of his product. Every one has their own style.

Just like some people are saying that you cant compare the two games, you cant compare the two developers, both have thier different approach when it comes to this kind of things and none of them is wrong.

On topic;

Both games will be awesome. Have them both pre-order. Must admit that i'm looking forward for GoW2 a little more. But that just my preference, not that one is better than the other.

[Massive-Delusion]

I like Epic and I think they make good games as well as(Contrary to what other people may think!) good game engines. However, I really can't stand Clifford Bleszinski. I'm not against Epic as a whole company, it's just WonderBoy CliffyB who does my head in thinking he's absolutely fantastic and cool. In your dreams mate...

[mfwahwah]

Agreed. I wish this was a Clifford VS. Ted Price debate. Ted Price is such a humble nice guy. Clifford is like the guy I'd punch in the gut if he tried talkin' to me.

[Ali_The_Brit]

Man, I think that competition is always positive, and bearing in mind that my game is better (laughs). I know and am friends with Ted (Insomniac), but I must say that despite being a good attempt, the quality falls short of the Gears of War 2.

So he's friends with the guy and not nasty fanboy crap like you guys, obviously any guy is going to say his game is better, its called friendly banter people.

Whatever floats your boat, you will have a gears1.5 story, we will have a resistance 2 story

You will have 5v5 multiplayer, we will have, wait for it, 60 player multiplayer!

[muddygamesite]

These arguments shouldn't really exist because you guys are comparing a FPS to a Third person Shooter. Although they both use guns, they are executed very differently. There is no basis for a comparison. Its like comparing Halo to MGS4. It doesn't really make any sense. If GoW and R2 were both Third person shooters, then i can understand . . . .

In fact, id prefer comparing something like Uncharted to GoW, simply because they are closer in execution.

[Tacki]

I really don't feel these games should be compared at all. Even though I myself prefer Gears I think this would be like comparing Gears and Halo. They're two different genres and they're not very similiar besides that they both feature guns. I don't know why people are so quick to pit these two titles against one another.

Cliffy talks too much sh!t. That much is sure. He should let his game speak for him as it certainly can on its own. There's the difference between him and Ted Price. He'll come out and basically brag about Gears being better than Resistance... and when Ted Price was asked a similiar question by Hiphopgamer he simply said both games are great and if you have both systems you're going to have a really good Christmas. Gears is wonderful, but Cliffy needs some humble pie in his life.

[Closing]

I own a Ps3 only, and I must say I'd much rather have Gears 2 than Resistance 2. Although both will turn out well for people who are fans of the series, and I think Resistance will have a much better story.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

*sigh*
GO

AWAY!!

Nobody loves you, CliffyB!! GET OVER IT!!!!

[InMyOpinion]

I think Gears of War 2 will smash Resistance 2 to pieces both in review scores as well as sales figures and online activity. Just my opinion. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

[RAM MAGNUMS]

ted is a friend & he knows I'm trying to sell my game so I hope he
will understand the crap that is coming out my mouth because I get
paid from it but resistance2 falls short on quality.

Quality?

I hope ted brings the pain. All he has to say is my game has more slots
for online play. Way more! My game is huge. Gears looks like a Arcady
download. My game has vast maps. Gears has mirrored maps.
We have a massive co-op. Gears has crap co-op. Cliffyb should have said
no comment but chose to embarrass & dwarf his own game. I, ted let the
game speak for itself. In terms of quality, r2 runs true 7.1 Dolby for the biggest
monsters in a fps. Roar! R2 enemy & squad a.I. Are unrivaled. Didnt uncharted
beat gears in story, a.I. & graphics already?
r2 would compare better to halo because a game as small as gears isnt fair for
gears. Thats a gamer rating right there.
sales wise. Idk. Look at cliffyb he's out there & yelling his game to anyone that
listens. Ted price is just constantly working on the game.
gears will probly win sales but video games have resistance2 to thank for breaking
all the rules.
gears is being sold to kids for Christ sake. R2 is m rated.
Who cares? I got r2 forever & boys have gears2 until January
when it gets traded for resistance2.
get it?

[jspc1989]

i don't know about any of you but did epic and insomniac release their games to stores mega early then the stores break the street dates? i mean with everyone saying how these games 'will' be this and 'will' be that, it seems like u have already completed them.

Look bottom line is both games will be good. I cudnt care if one is better than the other, im not to bothered. In the end ill play both and have a damn good time probably, so does it really matter which one as this and which one doesnt?

I just wana do a little experiment here, if you wud class urself as a real gamer who just enjoys his or hers hobby regardless of system or company, then type ''i class myself as a real gamer'' after this comment. Becus I may be wrong but on this site there are really very few actual gamers, just people who like to defend a couple of computer chips meaninglessly.

[zhuk is god]

Resistance2 is a weak attempt to impress a blind man, my dog and a maybe E.T

[divideby0]

its shameful to use the wannabe rockstar Cliff B, and the righteous Ted Price names in the same sentence. TP comes off as a highly education and intelligent person, whereas Cliff B. is 100% jerk

[PimpHandStrong]

is just having some fun

Its the fanboys on both sides that would rather it not be fun

anyway

R2 8ppl co-op should be cool

[cmrbe]

"If don't have anything smart to say then just shut up".

[IQUITN4G]

Lets not forget that R2 has a 300 foot monster - this guarantees better gameplay than Gears as it appears that only has lesser sized monsters.

I forgot Resistance soon after it came out, it was naff

[Funky Town_TX]

what about you guys. R2 vs Geow2 wow. These are not even the same types of games. I think more people will think GeoW2 is better.

[Batusai]

I Agree

[jerethdagryphon]

i played gears on realease with my brother in the much vaunted 2 player coop and iwas bored within an hour hide here shoot this repeat ad nausiom the magnetic cover system was nice but quickly became a hindrence in my opinion.

played resistance when i got my ps3 and was highly impressed at the graphics and atention to detail gameplay it was cod3 it was everyother fps

i did like the health system im tired of these cod type rest a minite and your fine
i also liked it didnt have any shield but you would slowly heal up to the nearest quater
there 2 different classes of game fps tps you can only compare basic features

also gow uses unreal 3 because of that when i look at gow now it looks like a mod for ut3

360 sells on its fps lineup+ the standard franchises

ps3 sells because of brand loyalty and better hardware

gow2 will likly sell more but remember halo3 was in preowned the day after release

[djtek184]

R2's game play alone will b!tch slap Gears of Bored back to the drawing board.

[jerethdagryphon]

such an amazing development humans shields why ive never seen that before...oh wait fps with human shild turning point... magnetic cover
more hindrence then help.

ut3=shiney platic covered graphics but not real immersion
and because i can
ill mention that a great many major inovation out of m$ developers came from 1998s game tresspasser.

shal i list :)
1 regen health
2 2 weapon system
3. a physics engine yup havok agiea owe there whole idea to dreamworks
4 massive outdoor area
5 minimal load time
6 destructable objects
7 non pathfinder ai
8 behavioral ai
9 bump mapping

hmmm only thing missing is cover regen shield mellee with gun and vehicles ....

not bad for a game that bombed

gears will sell more but r2 will be more enjoyable

[user1263986]

smell my gapping cunt

[360TurdDump]

SH*TS ON THE TROLL.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Only reason Cliffy can say that is because of numerous GOTY awards and 6 million copies sold.

[djtek184]

Honestly I feel sorry for Xbox fans for 2008 and beyond , all they have to look forward to is Gears this and Gears that,what innovations do they have for the near future is beyond anyones mind. I see the life span for the Xbox is nearing its end , its gonna suck though who will Sony compete with in the future? Oh well it was fun while it lasted.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Gears franchise = AAA status, 6 million copies sold, and numerous GOTY awards

Resistance franchise = AA status, 3 million sold, and zero GOTY awards.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

It's an interview with Cliffy about Gears and Resistance and you don't want anyone to compare?

hello.... is anyone home?

[Old Snake]

Cliffy B is an arrogant douche

[Mr_Luke]

Again in war here ;) who cares... you like R2? buy it. You like GeoW2? Buy it. I'll buy both and i'll have big fun with both ;))

[KiNg_TED_PRIZE]

what do you expect cliff to say " oh my game is not even close to that " no man ted is all about scale .. bigger game bigger online ...i never played gears of war or attend to play it anytime soon. but i must say resistance will eat the competition alive.. people say geow2 is very repative!!! this comes from the series fans!!! cliff don;t you dare say it falls short.. if anything your dragging on the leg!!!

resistance 2 30 vs 30 !!! PLAY BEYOND~~

[KiNg_TED_PRIZE]

cliffy boy you have no chance to to compete against my scale !! your fall short like midget hangin from a chain~~~

[devilhunterx]

Gears1 still have the worst gernade throw in any TPS. Please tell me they improved it for Gear1.5.

[jcgamer]

having said that, I'm looking forward to BOTH...

[mistertwoturbo]

So when Ted Price was asked about Gears of War 2 from Hip Hop Gamer, his reply was "If you own both consoles, then you will have a great holiday" (something like that)

And now Cliffy B. just straight up says his game is better.

So we know which person is the douche bag.

Edit: I just wanna add nobody is denying Gears of War 2 is going to be one helluva game. But that doens't make Cliffy any less of a douche bag.

[smurfie4]

That was pretty arrogant for him to say that. Especially considering that not the leap between Gears 1&2 is not very signifcant. I think both games will be good respectively, but lets not bullsh1t. Resistance 2 is the game offering more content.

[Blood_Spiller]

I missed the part in history where "low" sales = bad game, can someone point me to that page, thanks.

*QUICK FACT*
Grim Fandango sold only 95,000 copies yet it is regarded as one of the best adventure games ever created.

[mfwahwah]

http://www.vgchartz.com/gam...

Yeah yeah, it's vgchartz.

SotC sold 73,000. Sales =/= quality (just ask the Wii).

[Porkround]

I'm glad to own both systems though I am sending my 360 back for repairs for the second time this year and its my 4th xbox. But I digress. Gears , Resistance, Hmmm I think That I will purchase both and enjoy the fruits of epic and insomniac's labor. So all of this bickering and arguing like little disgruntled fanbots will pass me by because once again I own and enjoy both systems. Oh and by the way thank God for warranties.

[Dolemite]

Gears of War was a gaming event. Resistance was a footnote.

[sak500]

Have you played 24 players games on consoles like COD4 and BF:BC? See how chaotic it is with full server and people attacking from all sides. Since the console controls are not as responsive as pc mouse/keyb you can't get out of the way too quickly if you spawn in the middle of the battle. See how many secs you can play with 60 players fighting.

[Raoh]

2 great games for two great consoles each

who cares

but my problem with the cliffy b's is

when did you become p diddy?

the gamer and the development team.. thats the marriage

want to know how bad the cliffy b's are? tara patricks porn star status is trying to get assassin creed status..............

gaming has become mtv/bet/vh1

shut the F up and make good games no one cares for comments

thats what us fanboys are for :)

[DFresh]

Both games look good but I'm still confused exactly where Resistance 2 falls short on Gears of War 2.

Resistance 2 & Gears of War 2 have online play.
However the big difference is Resistance 2 has 60 players playing simultaneously while Gears 2 only has 10 players.
Resistance 2 = 30 VS 30
Gears 2 = 5 VS 5

Both games have great graphics.
But Resistance 2 has more enemies on screen and is at a bigger scale then Gears 2.
Resistance 2 graphics just better than Gears 2 in my opinion.
Graphics are more than just a picture it's also how objects and things react, behave, and move in a game.

Both games have great stories.
In Gears 2 you fight the Locust and in Resistance 2 the Chimera w/ different characters, plots, and different settings.

Both games have co op mode.
But Resistance 2 has a 8 player co op w/ a separate story parallel to the single player campaign.
Gears 2 has a a 4 player co op mode.

So exactly how does Resistance 2 fall behind if anything Gears 2 is falling behind.

I'm just saying those are the facts.

[CouchKing0]

AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH Cliff talking big!

Gears of War 1.2 is nothing compared to Resistance 2 which looks way better and has better gameplay, due to the power of the cell. I'll be waiting for the PC version of Gears of War 1.2 Cliff so I can pirate it.

CRY MORE BOTS AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[atticus19808]

Both games will be appealing for entirely different reasons. Nice to see both consoles providing awesome games this year. Just sucks there has always got to be a dry spell during the summer.

[unicronic]

Neither Gears2 nor Resistance2 will be highly innovative given they are sequels.

But the bottom line is that both games were great and we should expect more of the same only better.

As for Gears2 being better than Resistance 2, that's all in the opinion polls. I prefered Resistance but I can totally understand why others would prefer Gears.

In any case lets hope they are both as good as the build promises.

[Saint Sony]

Just wait when they come up with Gears of War 1 & 2 XBOX 360 bundle for this christmas.

[Qdog]

Same old people spreading the Anti-Sony hate, nothing new in fact... Just wait until These games are released, and be happy for your brother or sister that owns a different console than you.
I personally will enjoy both R:Fom 2 as well as Gears. I have a special soft spot for Resistance though,very under-appreciated. For the Sony fans though, just look at the potential gaming library of the PS3, (cross-platform ports aside) has alot of quality and ingenuity invested in it, as well people are starting to realize...

[Saint Sony]

In what part did I spread your "anti-sony" hate?

I was talking about one of the biggest games for 360. If that is not a system seller then what is?

Gears 1 was, gears 2 will be especially if they make 1&2 +360 bundle.

Just change the game to Uncharted 2 if you wish, U1&2 +PS3 would be amazing system seller. GET IT?

[sinncross]

some friend cliff is...

[killcycle]

Get a freaking life the xbox days are almost over.
resistance 2 has 60 player online and 2 completely seperate campains.

Gears of war is good but not all what you fan fools make it out to be,
Its the only game your machine has =D So keep defending it.

[robotnik]

Looks like developers cant promote their products without bashing the competition these days.

[Kaleidoscope]

I really don't understand why Gears of War 2 and Resistance 2 have been compared with each other. I mean Gears of War 2 is an 3D action shooter and Resistance 2 is an First Person Shooter. Two different games in two different genres.

Have you guys have your own opinions about this?

[SL1M DADDY]

Here is my take on all of this. Make no mistake, I will own both games thus contributing to both games sales reports. With that in mind however, if they both released on the same day and I had to pick between the two... I would pick Resistance 2. Why? Because it IS bigger, better, and more badass than the first one. They have nearly doubled every aspect of the first game and in the case of Gears 2, we get 2 player co-op, again. We get 10 players online at one time... Not much bigger IMHO. Slam me all you want but fanboy rants aside, Resistance 2 is shaping up to be a great game and one that will have longer legs than Gears 2.

[Shankle]

What a muppet. Gears is distinctly average. Resistance isn't a very good comparison but Uncharted is, and it's much better.

[Truplaya]

you forgot to add "in my opinion", because in my opinion uncharted had no mulitplayer and no co-op so can not be anywhere near as good as Gears, as i am still playing that 18months since release. uncharted has been out 6months? Who still plays it frequently?

[Horny]

I had an awesome speech about how both games are good and its all opinion but accidently erased it so just agree lol.

Seriously though u guys are dumbasses because neither game is superior to the other and its all about taste, I think only a small number of users here actually have both games the way yall talk about them.

[Isaac]

He wishes to have a game with production values as high as resistance. He didn't even have to make a research on his entirely fictitious game with no real world locations. His game is basically a short rail shooter while Resistance 2 is a game with huge worlds, two campaigns, and much better and thoroughly researched history for an ARG.

[kevnb]

im surprised at how many people are offended. In North America its cool to be arrogant, just look at our popular media.

[goomba]

this guy sounds like a jerk

[Tyrael]

I think Gears 2 will be ten times more fun than Resistance 2. Killzone however, that's another story...

[Truplaya]

1. Its probably bad translation

2. Why are Sony fanboys so up in arms about this (over 250 comments on this?), why should they care what CliffyB thinks of Resistance, of course he's gonna say its crap, just like i say the rivals to the company i work for are crap.

3. Both are gonna be great, why not judge for yourself?

4. Resistance is another FPS, Gears is a TPS, they cant really be compared. Maybe compare resistance to COD4 or KZ2, but not Gears.

5. Why cant November come quick enough!!!!

[Raoh]

i liked both games for two different reasons than most people.

i didnt care for either multiplayer on gears or resistance........ mildly fun. thank god for cod4 and the ability to play socom on my ps3.

what i liked about resistance is to date current generation it has the best offline campaign story. i really enjoyed playing it by myself. the black levels on resistance added to the mood, bringing back early resident evil like jump out of your seat moments.

what i liked about gears was its co op play. i cant tell you how much fun i had with my son or with friends as one moved the spotlight for me while i walked in the spotlights... err.. light.. to get to the switch.. same with the vehicle where one drives and the other moves the spotlight...... great co op fun...

personally though i found resistance online a bit bland and confined as far as maps. i found gears online overrated.

but everyone has different tastes. i've always been more of a socom guy when it comes to online.

[deividpaulo]

This Cliff is ridiculous!!!

[foodbox]

Only on Planet Sony Defence Force is this even a discussion.

Gears of War: 5.19M sold. 94/100 on Metacritic. Dozens of Awards ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
Resistance: 2.97M sold. 86/100 on Metacritic. Uhmm, not so much (outside of "best * of Ps3").

Gears of War 2 is going to DESTROY Resistance in Sales *and* critical reception.

[nycredude]

Dude, I fail to see how what you posted prove that one game is better than the others? These are just numbers that doesn't mean much! you have to break it down more carefully to decipher the truths.

For example:
Gears one was not a launch title and the developers had ample time to optimize the game. At the time of launch the install base for 360 was much higher, hence a higher sales. Also nobody has seen that type of graphics yet on console so their was much hype and anticipate.

Resistance two however was a launch title that was no doubt a little rushed. It was also a first generation Ps3 game that was not really optimized for the hardware yet. The install base was much smaller for the Ps3, hence less sales.

As you can see, just merely stating numbers doesn't mean a thing and surely does not prove a game to be better than another. Some of the best games ever did not sell very well.

That being said I will buy Resistance 2 and hopefully play gears 2 at my friend's house.

[Eiffel]

Gears of War 2 will dominate Res2

[SpiderBoy36]

Ugh, I never like reading what "CliffyB" has to say. I think both games have the potential to be awesome, and it'll be interesting to see which one comes out on top.

[SpiderBoy36]

A Chimera could kick a Locust's ass!

Oh My God dude. Superton.

[Rhezin]

I don't know where you got it in your tiny little brains that resistance fall of man was ever a good game period

[C_Dub]

Well I played Gears of War when it was new, and when I got my PS3 a year later I played Resistance. I enjoyed Resistance a heck of a lot more but I will get both Resistance 2 and GeOW2 when they are released.

[jerethdagryphon]

your comment was dealt with earlier and gear sold more cause 360 had been out longer

[7h3ultim8p00]

Gears 2 >>>>>>> Resistance 2.

Period.

[jerethdagryphon]

????
clarify. please

[Dragunov]

I dont care if gears 2 is better, the multiplayer of resistance 2 is much more bigger, 60 player looks cool

If you are comparing GAMES, don't compare CONSOLES and their technical features. Sony fanboys, please, open you eyes and ears and stop cryin' about 33% fail rate of 360 - that problem was solved month ago and for those who have the early version there is a customer service (<1week return).
I have played through both games, since I have both consoles. I liked GoW more. And don't tell me RFOM had epic story and fantastic game play - it was an ordinary shooter and nothing more. I can't say the same for GoW after seeing the chainsaw kill (one of the few reasons I prefer GoW). GoW had brutality - something RFOM didn't have.
I'm waiting for both games, since I've already preordered collector's edition for both titles.
Ow, and by the way, user "Common Sence", to see a '300ft Leviathan' you need a big HDTV to feel the fight like it was ment. Not many people can afford a 48'' HDTV. And if you only compare the sizes of bosses in games I'm sorry for your game collection.

Everyone, that is, except the delusional SDF on N4g.

[ultimate920]

Already talking about his game is better than R2

I'm pretty sure he has never played R2 in the alpha stages and he is still saying that his game is better...

We'll see what happens in Nov.

My money on R2, not on sales (Quantity), but on Quality

[dwjohnson011211]

You say hes a idiot cuz you dont think hes ever played it. Then you throw your money in that R2 is better when you havent played it.

Someone of you fools need to get a life and quit arguing so damn much about videogames.

[dwjohnson011211]

Do you have to like a Game Developer to buy his game? Whats next, you have to like a movie director to go see the movie? o.O Rightttt o.o

He's joking, did you even go to your own link? He's being sarcastic and besides you can't compare the two when GeOW2 is third-person and RFOM2 is first-person, it's pointless. Also it's sad that he can't make a comment like that with out you fools lashing out on him, even though he's being sarcastic, can we all agree that both games are awesome.

Whoever complains about a developer being proud of a game they made is nothing but a depressed emo. Go cut yourselves and complain some more.

Everyone here has played Resistance 2 and Gears of War 2?

It sure sounds like it, BLAH BLAH BLAH. How bout you wait until the games come out to discuss what the better game is.

I Believe both will be great games for anyone that likes to play videogames and if they both were on your system of choice you would love them equal, so can you all please shut the hell up?

GODDAMN, Cliffy B is childish????? No you are. I wish both Epic Games and Insomniac Games the best, they know what we want from each respective franchise.

You wanna talk about a dousche????? Go talk to Jack tretton SONY PR or Haz Kumari.

N4G=News for Cry Babies

[dwjohnson011211]

-what do PS3 fanboys expect him to say???

"well you know, Resistance2 is so much better than the crap we put out. We don't stand a chance against it, and I thinkt they did everything better than we did. You know, PS3 would have been a better console to develop for. And I am very insecure about the things I do, I really believe that it would be better for me to just step into a dark room and lock myself up, because I am nothing special, and I can't make decent games, and I'll be better off killing myself, cause PS3 is allmighty and nothing can touch Resistance 2.

You know, my games just plain right suck."

Grow up girls, and grow some self esteem. Cliff is a confident guy who loves what he is doing. If you can't take that someone is proud of what hes doing then you're in for a tough life!!!!
_____________________________ _________Well I mean come on, seriosuly? Who in there right mind is going to be bothered by some random [well not really random but you get the picture] guy saying that his [b]own] game is better then another one? I mean whos going to give a crap about what people say as long as you yourself enjoy the game and it is quite obvious that hes only saying this because thats what he thinks and I mean unless you're truly retarded, you wouldn't bash your own game for chirst sake. I've seen it happen from others as well along with movies too.

I just mean like, its not as if there going to say something horrible about there own game. And yeah of course there going to say there game is better then the other peoples, thats expected to happen.
Agreed^^ but some kids just can't stand differing oppinions. Spoiled insecure brats. Self critizism is something you do in private, amongst the team, not in front of the public. Or... you can do it after its released, and you are building hype for the next game^^

I really like Cliff Blezinski. He is fun to listen to. He does not care for others view. Hes confident about himself. Whats wrong with that?
I would wish Denis Dyack some of Cliffs confidence. I mean, as much as I respect Denis Dyack and his vision and approach to gaming (eternal Darkness was ace, and I love the Too Human demo), but he got all fed up by stupid internet board trolls. That was unfortunate.

Denis if you see this. Heads up. Don't listen to internet Boards. They surely don't resemble the gaming community as a whole!!!

I really don't see why you would get angry at him for this.
the point is, he laughed while saying this. Can it be more obvious that he was joking????

[HCS]

Your former idol Ted Price can admit Gears is a fantastic franchise, why can't you?

LOL@ talking crap about cliff cuz supposably he aint played the damn game or that's what you think. Game developers have access to other's games much like the press do. but it's ok for you to talk crap about gears 2 when you havent even played either of the damn games.

HYPOCRISY at it's finest. What's with the censoring here? Is this daycare or elementary school?

[HCS]

Sound insecure as hell, definately you morganfell, keep on harping on what r2 features like we dont know already. ROFL.

[dwjohnson011211]

Their is alot of insecure hateful fools on here.

If and when gears of war ever comes to your system you will witness what the press and media has been talking about and why it's so heavily regarded and why it has a huge following. Gears of War doesn't need 40 or 60 pixels running across the screen.

[dwjohnson011211]

These arguments will be put away come this november when they both score over a 90%.
