"Hot" Gears of War 2 High-Res Screenshots

In these new screens at TheHDRoom you get to go up close and personal with the Flameboomer, amongst other enemies.

[InMyOpinion]

Looks incredible. That's some really crisp textures.

[Violater]

First UE made everything look like it came out of the Vaseline monster.
Now everything looks dusty and rough, though now with better lighting.

[radio0o]

Looks a little outdated IMO when you compare them to games like Killzone 2, Uncharted, Heavy Rain, etc etc.

Still looking like the best 360 graphics though and the character models are very nice.

[Gamekilla]

but those are some of the best textures and graphics i have seen in while....@radio killzone 2 may be able to top this, but i think these graphics definitely top uncharted (i never thought i'd say that, and i know i'll get disagrees for it)

[Fanboy Fart]

Uncharted have more of a cartoon art direction, both game look great. I think Gow2 has the edge but by a slightly margin.

[Time_Is_On_My_Side]

Lol, did just say a PlayStation 2 game is better than a PlayStation 3 game visually?

[mikeslemonade]

This would have been impressive last year but not this year. There's about 10 games that look better than this that are coming this year or next year. The textures are blurry and clearly blu-ray is needed here.

[solidt12]

Man that really looks good.

[Fanboy Fart]

@ 1.6

No i meant to say Gears of War 2, my bad. lol.

[masterg]

I love my PS3 more than my 360.....

But damn... If I have to listen to anymore fanboys talk this game down I'm going to loose it. To me only KZ2 match what I see here.

The 360 has a sh*t year if you ask me, but Gears 2 is a monster.
Stop talking it down. It looks stunning and the first Gears multiplayer was fantastic. The only problem was lag.

It's my most wanted this year.... Right after Little Big Planet of course.

[u got owned]

A lot of PS3 fans hating in here. This game looks great, period. Be gamers not haters.

[ape007]

buy a 360 when the 60gb 299$ comes

it's so cheap

trust me with ps3 and 360 in one room you'll be more happy

ps3 and 360,friends forever no fanboyism

I win,you lost(fanboys)

[Spydiggity]

still not sure why people put uncharted in the same category as this game...or most other games for that matter. i was hugely unimpressed with it. generic disney-style story, flimsy and repetative gameplay, mediocre graphics.

and while i agree the UE3 is getting old, Gears pushes its limits and actually makes it look impressive. No question this will be top selling exclusive of the year and most played online game for a loooong time.

[clintos59]

Yes these screens do look great but lets be honest here that alot of screen shots taken from EPIC are usually over done compared to the actual game. Same thing they did with UT3.

Im not denying these screens look gorgeous but at the same time they look like bullshots because from everything ive seen in motion on gametrailers I have yet to see any in motion as clean as those screens.

As for Uncharted looking cartoony? Dont know what game u were playing but Uncharted is still one of the best looking games thus far even though that game came out like a year ago. See for yourself and these aint no bullshots.

I still cant say which game looks better out of the 2 because Uncharted is still a game I can throw on now and be amazed. But no doubt both games do look great.

[rexor0717]

Uncharted does look at leat 5x as good. Much better textures, way better lighting. And much more fun! Uh oh! Not really, but I do like Uncharted more than Gears(I want GeoW2 anyways, looks fun)

[mfwahwah]

It does look really nice, no doubt about it. The one thing I hate about Gears 1 & 2 is the character and some weapon designs though. The characters look terribly generic and ridiculous, I'm sorry. I also can't get into many of the Locust designs, they just look lame to me.

I know people LOVE chainsaws, but a chainsaw on a gun just seems silly and a bit gimmicky to me, but I know that's a sensitive issue. I truly don't understand the obsession with chainsaws :/. There's also this stupid looking pistol I saw in some screens.

Well, here's to hoping this game gets released on PC!

[PotNoodle]

Meh, i don't really like gears of war's dark graphics, i wish they could brighten it up just a bit to around Unreal tournament level then i'd love it even more.

[Scrooge]

It's good to see that some gamers still have integrity and don't consider it a sin to admit that another platform's graphics look great. Keep spreading the love, and death to all fanboys.

[cahill]

people please dont argue

Uncharted shots for u

http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

ofcourse Killzone 2/Heavy Rain/Mgs4 looks better than Gears 2 as well

BTW these are Bullshots of Gears 2

[robbo918]

I am pretty die-hard Sony but I think those shots are pretty dang nice. I didn't like the video footage of this game as much because it looked "painted" but this is much more crisp. Cheers for X360 getting this and I will be equally happy with Resistance 2 and KZ2. Great games for both the current gen systems versus a certain "kart" playing plumber's system that couldn't push any of those 3 games.

[thewhoopimen]

I'll donate my left nut to charity if that's really the a 360 screen shot. Looks more to me like a PC running it in 720p with like a Radeon 4870 or a Nvidia 8800 GT.

[NO_PUDding]

I am sorry.... I am sorry. Are you all too stupid to realise bullshots? The UE 3 engine cannot handle AA in any of it's games on the next generation consoles. It's a fact. And it's one of the very few bottlenecks the engine has.

The AA on this is GODLY.

Bullshot confirmed.

And even with that, the 2D backgrounds look stunning, but up close, it really isn't that impressive.

I am not a PS3 fanboy, listen to me MGS4 was a rehashed Metal Gear Title, great for the fans, but no one else. I think Resistance 2 looks underwhelming. PS3 has a slight shortage of RPG's at the moment.

Ia m not a fanboy, but face the facts, these are bullshots, and they aren't that impressive in the first place.

Get Fable 2, that game is worth everyones time. Coop will rock.

[Porno Decepticon]

lolz, can'tz believes you actually think they're real shotz, and tehy stul look outdateds.

[osamaq]

Oh I feel Sorry for you ps3 guys , there is no single game is even close to this graphics Quality not Even Killzone 2, maybe the graphics of killzone 2 trailer in 05 yes , but lastly the PS3 shows that this graphics cant be handled by the PS3 system, so you know in deep of ur self's that this is a superior graphics but ur Envious let you to disagree with @Jenzo.

[aliveinboston]

not a patch on games like Uncharted which has smooth, natural lighting, superb shadows, a rich color palette, and much higher polygon counts for characters and environments, not to mention, incredible textures on virtually all surfaces.

http://i5.photobucket.com/a...

What's more, the lighting and shadows are not impressive as it gets the usual stepped lighting of the Unreal engine. Not a smooth transition in sight and there is the usual lighting and shadow errors that come from taking those short-cuts. This isn't even the most technically advanced game on the Xbox360.

What we're witnessing is the magic of great art direction where visual pop comes from the high contrast, monochromatic style with selective use of high resolution textures that tricks the eye into thinking there's more detail than there really is.

Just to be clear, the aforementioned technical short-comings of these graphics have nothing to do with the 360 hardware but are a result of the Unreal Engine.

[jmalc]

I am VERY impressed with the flame/smoke effects, and we all know the lighting engine is great.

I will say, however, that without the glare coming from the bump-mapping, it's surprising to see such a modest poly-count on some of the models.

[CrippleH]

bullshots for sure.

[Fanboy Fart]

@ ^^^^

Denial for sure.

[Rourker]

I don't think so man, I mean I'm sure they were touched up, but what game doesn't touch up their screen shots?

KZ2 was called on it before, and they admitted the did some photoshop work on them.

[shazam]

if you ever see a screenshot with absolutely no jaggies whatsoever like these then its a bullshot.

[cahill]

Gears 2 is running at 720p and a game at that rez without jaggies is definitely being BULLSHOTTED

By the way Uncharted easily tops this
http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

@perjoss

Gears 2 shots are all Bullshots with like 16x AA

EPIC did the same with UT3 , GEARS 1 and GEARS 2

Gears 1 had jaggies. Nope x360 cant do FSAA by default when it comes to a heavy computational games like Gears

[Perjoss]

lots of 360 games have FSAA, there are no jaggies in the first GoW. I think i read somewhere that the machine does FSAA by default, like x2 or something, but I could be wrong.

[NO_PUDding]

You are wrong. The UE3 engine doesn't do AA.

It just doesn't.

[power of Competence]

Sorry to break it to you guys but these are indeed bullshots.

Unreal Engine 3 only does AA in DirectX 10.

[aliveinboston]

but even as bull-shots they aren't technically impressive. Still, the lighting and shadows are very basic and even bull-shots can't hide that. The 360 hardware is certainly capable of more advanced graphics than this.

As far as Uncharted, that's not really a fair comparison since that's on stronger hardware. It makes more sense to compare it to other games on the 360, no?

[cr33ping_death]

looking sweet, the soul reason for me having the 360

edit: oh look a disagree

[masterg]

This is the reason my 360 is still standing next to my PS3.
Damn I loved the first one.

[mfwahwah]

Well yeah, a disagree. I disagreed because I don't have a 360, and if I did, this game wouldn't be the soul of it. Am I not entitled to my opinion of what my hypothetical console's soul would be?

By the way, it would be Fable 2 for me, barring disappointment like Fable 1 (I 100%ed that game in NO time, with 0 effort D':)

[Gam71]

you deliberately being a moron mfw...

he spelled the word sole wrong but you can get from the context what he meant and you can't disagree with that as that was the reason he bought a 360 unless you know his shopping habits better than him.

And if you think a console has a soul you need help or maybe sony told you the ps3 has one and you believed them.

Again you're deliberately being awkward.

[MasterChief2829]

WTF is wrong with N4G? Always passing duplicate stories lately. These screenshots are OLD! They are from E3. :S

[pp]

Just awsome graphical powerhouse of a game only possible on xbox360

[Kufi-]

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[cr33ping_death]

sure buddy

[zo6_lover27]

The semi awesome power brought to you by the Unreal Engine 3. Possible on both the Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system.

:D

[Dyingduck]

This looks like HDR of Gears1 SS...

Unreal Engine III = old

[Kufi-]

Uncharted and MGS4 already have better graphic . you failed.
There is no or 1 enemy on the pictures.Alone in the game..

[AngryXbot]

Resistance 2 just RAPED Bores of war 2!

http://gamersyde.com/pop_im...

http://gamersyde.com/pop_im...

Graphics - Resistance wins, ENOUGH SAID.
Gore - Resistance wins, Slicer gameplay. OWNED
Physics - Resistance wins, Unreal 3 doesnt know what physics mean.
Scale - Resistance wins, 300 feet bosses, giant octopus boss and more! SMOKED.
Multi player - Resistance wins. I hear Cliffy really pushed the 360 this time around. A whoppin 5 v 5 GUYS! Poor Resistance only got 30v30! OWNED
Coop - Resistance wins, 8 player COOP. OWNED. SMOKED.

Damn, not even a fight! OWNED!

[Pain]

sad..

[Spread Butt Cheeks]

get a life and stop being a muslim. your are ruining this world for everyone. allah is a fake c0ck sucker

[mfwahwah]

Only possible on 360? So I won't have the pleasure of playing this on PC? Aww shucks...

[dkgshiz]

PS3 is more powerful, also, UT3 is on the ps3. It uses the same engine as gears. So its possible on the ps3. Your fuking stupid.

[theKiller]

do u realize u r offending 1.6 billion muslim by wat u said??
ur m0m is fake u didnt know that?? stupid little brain washed kid!

[ozhuerta]

jews are more guilty of ruining this world. Come on, tell me you're one. Keep offending, I'd like to find out where you live and have the pleasure to kick your as$. Bastard.
BTW, I'm christian.

[SpecialSauce]

completely true. Israel will cause the next world war. and I'm not Muslim.

[Montrealien]

you guys really need to take you sticks out of your ass and stop showing pp you care so much, lol. Go play video games.

[joevfx]

ok the game does look good but are you kidding me? only on the 360? Like they couldnt make this game like 50 times better on the PC? gimme a break ,its just the unreal 3 engine its nothing new.

[plain rice]

What's with the color palette? Purple-ish-pink filter? /poG

[Cherchez La Ghost]

Emergence Day Redux '08!!

[Gam71]

Hmm, At the moment 3 people disagree that you can't wait for this game.

it appears you can wait for it... or the defence force are back.

[ape007]

haha that was funny,bubbles for you

@6 don't worry I gave agree and a bubble

[celticlonewolf]

Are from this months game informer and yes they are from E3 to but thats why there are posted as new. To CrippleH these arnt bullshots lol watch the e3 game demo and you'll see. Why is it that fanboys always shout bullshots for games on the consoles they least like and think the shots on the console they love are always true and great lol.

[CrippleH]

Those are indeed bullshots.

Why is there so many AA?

not even 4xAA look that crisp.

[steck67]

Man those are insane, it's one reason for me to go out and buy a 360.

[RememberThe357]

If you feel you only have one reason to own a console then its safe to say you shouldn't get it. I bought my 360 for a number of reasons, make sure you do the same.

[Beg For Mercy]

pp get a life its running on the unreal engine 3 which the ps3 can do so you fail. looks good though seems like they flattened the color pallet for better lighting.

[Dyingduck]

This looks dull like the first

[Spread Butt Cheeks]

nice tattoo you jackass. i like the poop on your upper lip too.

ARF ARF. GANGSTA SON!

[Porno Decepticon]

Teh sad ting is he wishz he had that tat, sad face :(.

[digger18]

This looks awesome, but I hope the game play is not as linear as the first one.

[Dyingduck]

The first one on my PC plays so dull - played once and never played again...

[pp]

Wrong gears of war 2 is running on a optimized engine 3.5 specially made for gears of war 2 and also unreal tournament 3 looks better on xbox360 than ps3 which is a fact

[zo6_lover27]

http://www.gamegrep.com/new...

:D

*more links coming soon*

http://www.digitalbattle.co...

http://gamer.blorge.com/200...

[digger18]

Talking crap again. Quite a few sites said the PS3 version of UT3 was sharper and faster and I have to agree, since I have both versions.

So, please shut up with your bullshit all the time.

[GameOn]

Why would you buy both versions?

[mfwahwah]

Your comparing UT3 360 to UT3 PS3? How about you choose games that came out within a similar time frame?

[dkgshiz]

bioshock has a custom unreal engine too. Bioshock looks better than this anyways. You should look at KZ2, that game smokes this @ss. DURP! My 360 so powerful! FUK ME OH MIGHTY CONSOLE!

[pixelsword]

...I'm not comparing it to gears, because Gears is from an older engine, so that's not fair, just like it's not fair to compare Gears 360 to Gears PC; Epic themselves said it was a different engine build; but to make my point, Ask anyone: did UTIII look better than Gears 1? No, it didn't. Gears had a "fuller" look, UTIII on the 360 looked like a few levels of polish was not there.

[Fanboy Fart]

This screens look too good. Must have.

[lalapin]

ahh , pc version for sure .

[360 man]

and resistance 2 is supposed to compete with this

[digger18]

No it isn't. They are two different types of games. Only fu*king fanboys on here say they do.

[AngryXbot]

http://gamersyde.com/news_7...

The pictures dont lie. Resistance 2 doesnt just look better. Its VAST. Very VAST. And still looks BETTER.

OWNED.

http://gamersyde.com/news_7...
http://gamersyde.com/news_7...

Resistance 2 - 5
Gears of War 2 - 0

OWNED!

[Montrealien]

man, most of those resistance shots don't help it much, both games look great though, we are in for a great fall for shooters.

[Ghoul]

Looks awesome, but anyone with only a bit intelligence notices the 16xAA
and comes to the consclusion that these are bullshots or at least not taken ingame from the 360, these are more shots taken from the dev version (pc)

[CrippleH]

Yea I noticed but got disagreed on.

[cahill]

but thats so typical of EPIC

Gears 2 looks good but nothing near Killzone 2/Uncharted/HR /MGS4

[RAM MAGNUMS]

looks like:
dark sector
turok
Clive barkers game, I forget the name.
area 51
unreal tournament 3
bioshock
mass effect
the new batman game
fatal enertia
& more games that are graphically on par with gears of war1 & 2.

Its just another texture loading unreal engine game. Nothing special pp. Sorry.

[360 man]

everyone look at the detail and realism on the skin of the creatures in the fifth pic

INSANE

[WengYong]

Realistic, come on. Your kidding right.

I'm hyped for this game and it looks mint, but realism Gears was never well known for.

Please November, Arrive soon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rexor0717]

Still looks better. It beat the first and it will beat the second. Im not a fanboy. I think GeoW will be amazingly fun, but this is just one thing that I find true.

[aliveinboston]

everything else does not have as detailed textures, and how the lighting and shadows are simplistic. Not the 360's fault, it can do better. This is a problem with Unreal Engine.

[360 man]

not a single jaggie in sight

only possible on 360

[Roukuko]

http://www.thehdroom.com/Ge...

yep no jaggies

[GameOn]

You know what, those screens have just changed my mind.
Gears 1 looks better than Gears 2. SARC

[snoopgg]

Gears of war doesn't have that much action on the screen at once. Resistance has 100 times the action going on at once and still looks better. This applies to online and story modes! How can you compare the two when they have so little in common from the amount of people able to play at once to the sheer pace of resistance. If gears of played as fast as Resistance it would be a mess. Their graphics engine can't handle the amount of people like Resistances can!!!!

[jack who]

about time sony shows off the cells power.....oh wait

[pp]

Quite a few sites said the PS3 version of UT3 was sharper and faster let me guess ps3 sites .God you driods are such retards unreal tournament 3 was maxed out on ps3 also ps3 struggles to run unreal engine 3 .Theirs not one single game which could match the graphical horse power of gears of war 2 on ps3

[zo6_lover27]

Uncharted says Hi!

Its sad when a system struggles to run an engine and still beats out the original console the engine was designed for. :(

[TheXgamerLive]

Uncharted was a joke, just like you.

[snoopgg]

It must have been maxed out with like 5 people on the screen at once with a drab color scheme, and a snail pace that only the unreal engine could handle.

[Jeremy Gerard]

Those are just incredible. Makes you wonder what all the fuss over the Cell is all about, when clearly you don't need the "power of the cell" to produce the best game graphics ever on console.

All this for $299, any gamer who still does not have a 360 or is not on thier way to getting one is nuts.

[Kyur4ThePain]

You JUST went into a KZ2 discussion and posted "BS" on their MP screenshots and here you are praising what Epic are very well known for doing.
I don't know how you take yourself seriously. I can only laugh.

EDIT:
Look, I'll quote you, but just change a name or two...

"Briliant move by Epic/MS though, keep showing fake game footage, get morons to believe that the game actually looks like that, when it drops, whether it does look like that or not, the morons will swear it does."

Deja vu?

[plain rice]

Are you aware that these are bullshots?

[rexor0717]

Its true. Better lighting, better textures.

[mfwahwah]

First I'd like to say that I do think Gears 2 has some very good graphics. It's a bit plastically, but I won't bash it for the engine it uses.

"produce the best game graphics ever on console." Let's wait until we see it on a console, because these are probably much better than what will be in the hands of consumers (judging by game play vids and logic).

It's also *arguable* (note: not necessarily true) that Uncharted, Killzone 2, Far Cry 2, and Crysis: Warhead look better than Gears 2.

I'd make a bet right now that Killzone 2 would mop the floor with Gears 2 when it comes to graphics, but I can't trust a fanboy to admit defeat.

Oh, and if you really want to know what all the fuss about the Cell is, then just talk to me after GoW3, Heavy Rain, and FF Versus 13. Or just ask Roadrunner, it wouldn't be here without Cell. Or Stanford, I'm sure they love having the Cell's power contributing to F@H. Or ask the Air Force, they're quiet interested in the Cell processor as well.

[mfwahwah]

Damnit! I spelled "quite" as "quiet!" I ALWAYS hate when people do that, and promised myself I would never make that mistake. BLARGH.

[aliveinboston]

1) These arent the best graphics on the 360, let alone PS3

2) Uncharted is much better both in stills and in motion for a number of reasons

3) You don't get "all this" for $299. You still need to pay for Xbox live if you ever intend to play online. That's $50/yr. Multiply that by the number of years you intend to use your 360.

4) If you want to know what the fuss with the Cell is all about, ask MIT which has a course dedicated to programming the Cell (they use PS3s), and various research institutions which have or are building super-computers using the cell processor, sometimes doing nothing more than linking up multiple off-the-shelf PS3s (which works amazingly well if you need supercomputer power but dont have tens of millions of dollars to spend on one).

[medziarz]

notice the perfect antialiasing, they did the same with gears 1 screens before launch, if u don't believe find some official screens vs. the real game screen comparisons

[Lord Vader]

These screenshots are old & from E3, homie.

Go to Gametrailers.com & download the HD feed of any of several MP gameplay vids.

Hate to break it to you, but it looks even better in motion.

[DJ]

In motion, the low anti-aliasing really stands out, and the crowd AI makes a lot of mistakes. The physics have been noticeably improved though, and the sweeping vistas effectively make the player feel like they're part of a larger war.

[digger18]

omg, you must eat so much crap, because all you do is talk sh*t.

Listen PP, if you didn't troll the PS3 news all the time, maybe people would take you more seriously.

[dro]

omg pp will u shut up,every time u post u always make know sence,its either ur trolling a ps3 article or saying something dumb about the ps3.

do u really think these look better than MGS4 or heave rain.. :/
dont get me wrong i admit gears2 looks sick but fan bois like u who never give the other console props when due is just dumb, gears of war 2 has nothing on mgs4 and u know it.

looks like im finally gonna put u on my ignor list, i have giving u loads of chance but u will not just change...(-_-)

[360 man]

dro ur a wasteman

[GameOn]

"Wonna get High?"

[ape007]

looks amazing

seriosly can't wait for gears 2 and r2

[Xbox is the BEST]

see people posting bullshots. But if they have actually seen the game in motion in HD. Check it out on Xbox Live

[Gam71]

They can't check it out on live as the ones calling bullshots are the defence force.

They don't even own a 360 which makes me wonder why they feel the need to hijack another 360 thread and criticise a game they wont buy on a system they wont own?

Maybe insecure?
have buyers remorse?
jealous?
All of the above.
(the last one was a statement hence no question mark)

[mfwahwah]

Well, I call bull shot on this, and I don't own a 360. I also call bull shot on many KZ2 and R2 screen shots. OH DEAR A TWIST!?

I have watched gameplay videos of Gears 2 in HD though, and using that along with a bit of logic and knowledge, I have expertly deduced that these Gears 2 screen shots are not what will be seen by millions of people when the game comes out.

See? Maybe people legitimately disagree sometimes. No reason to jump to conclusions, it just makes the community look divided and suspicious. That's no way for N4G to be, at least in my opinion. Whatever though, you keep on hatin' and I'll keep on truckin'.

EDIT: Oh, and if I'm wrong, and these are just as good or worse than in game graphics come release, then no worries; I happily (and officially) admit that I'm wrong.

[Perkel]

I don't knwo if it is bullshit as you say but i think it's actual gameplay that kick ass HARD !

http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News...

[Gam71]

This isn't a killzone 2 thread (didn't they admit touching up some shots a month back?) its a GoW2 thread. Try to stay on track ps3 fans.

Resist the usge to spam please.
You made your choice, like it and let us get on with liking ours.

[pp]

Thats funny you mention mgs4 do you actually get to play or just bore yourself to death watching a boring 90min cut scene and also only one game comes close to gears of war 2 is killzone 2

[airheadluffy]

from a technical standpoint, gears of war 2 is inferior to killzone 2. killzone 2 looks better and has alot more going on screen than gears 2. thats why gears 2 only has 5 on 5 multiplayer unlike kz2's 16 on 16 multiplayer.

[zo6_lover27]

Like airheadluffy said, there is tons of stuff going on screen in KZ2, but not Gears, and still has better graphics.

I bet you never played MGS4 before, it is by no way a boring game

In one battle on MGS4, while on the Drebin 893(the vehicle, not the guy) your engaged in a battle with at least 25 guys at once, possibly more, and in Gears the most you ever fought was, 5. Pathetic.

[snoopgg]

Yeah I agree Gears 2 is the 360 best looking game, but it doesn't have anything on Resistance 2 or Killzone 2. Man, it just doesn't have a chance with only 5 on 5 action. If uncharted was a joke, then I can't even comment on any 360 game, cause their really hasn't been any except call of duty 4 that came close to looking and playing as good.

[airheadluffy]

this doesnt have the best graphics, but it looks great. they need to work on the textures though.

[Beg For Mercy]

why get excited over a game thats running a engine that was running on the other system, ps3 can run gears 1 and 2 with some great optimization, all unreal engine consist of is over blown slow loading textures, they look good but why brag when the other system can do it, you guys bring up resisitance its stuff that that game does that gears can only dream of like the amount of enemies with brains on screen at the same time, kz2 ratchet uncharted couldnt be done on the 360 due to lack of space on the disk and the cell spes handles a lot of the animation in those games and i dont even have to bring up mgs4 just hearin that just sends chills down yours backs

[jack who]

teh cell wished it has the ram to run this

[zo6_lover27]

Not more RAM arguments.
God, when will you learn that the ps3 has the EXACT SAME amount of RAM the 360 does.

EDIT

When will they learn that UE3 still produces better graphics on the ps3 despite running better on the 360

When will they learn UE3 is not the best engine in the world.

when will they learn XDR pwns GDDR3

When will they learn Bluray > DVD, in terms of both read speed, and disk space.

EDIT

Jack also thinks IE > Firefox.

http://n4g.com/industrynews...

This is the only game not on the PS3 that has a chance in competiting with graphics intensive PS3 exclusives like KZ,MGS4,Uncharted and not to mentioned GT.

Bioshock even is running on a modified Unreal 3 engine.Bioshock and Gears are the only two games that the xbots have to defend their console graphics wise which run on a multi-plat engine lol.

This again is the probelm with MS. If they spent the 50 million they spent on GTA DLC on developing a true next gen engine for Halo 3 it might have had a chance of being compared to Gears and Killzone. They would have been in a much better position now. Sony spent 20 million on KZ2 engine and now they will be able to use it for other PS3 games later.

MS pretty much screwed themselves.

[jack who]

when will they learn UE3 runs better on the 360

when will they learn the cell is bottle neck

never sony feed em too much bs for lunch

edit

when will they learn teh RXS is just a 2 year old leftover gpu that sony used cuzz they tho they could get gix out of teh cell...(which we all still waiting to see)

ill grow up when sony fans learn teh ps3 isnt all what they were feed to be
wait beyond

ps Firefox is for girls with mini skirts

[cmrbe]

When will you grow up?.

Edit : So in other words you will never grow up.

[zo6_lover27]

Jack, You seriously think IE is better?

-_-

*facepalm*

Just try it, you will see it is MUCH better.

No "Internet Explorer has stopped working" messages, its what I like the best, plus its faster.

[BlackTar187]

There touched up but still they look great. Now lets hope they fix the story : )

First day buy here although i got bored of #1 real quick and the MP i couldnt get into but thats a personal opnion never the less Im going to be getting this game and sitting in one spot for hours hope the coop is up to par .

[DJ]

But it is representative of the real-time graphics. It still needs a lot of work. There's not enough polygonal detail, and the environment textures are still muddy.

[dro]

jack who welcome to my ignor list aswell, and 360 man go f""k ur 360 and welcome to my ignor list XD

360 fan bois like u are just dumb,at least giant enemy crab is smart enough not to bash the ps3 like u gys do....(-_-)

[jack who]

i care this(-........................ ............................... ........._)
much

[aceman7]

Since when did 360 have that powerful anti-aliasing.

[GameDev]

more EPIC BULLSHOTS from cliffy Biotch, there were similiar arguments going on when Gears 1 was just out and the whole discussion got shut down on its face when someone posted comparisons of the bullshots to REALTIME captures of ingame play and it looked like a xbox1 game compared to the bullshots.

God these XBUTTS are morons.....lol

[360 man]

the creatures on the fifth picture look like they have been z brushed

THEY LOOK THAT GOOD

[info]

Thats one Dumb comment ! sorry but I could not help. Sure they look Zbrushed,since they used Zbrush or Mudbox to create the Normal maps....Really is there any brain cells left.

It has some nice designs in the details and overall characters but the meshes are quite rough, the picture has less colors than KZ2 with a brown / sepia bloom lighting filter on top. I thought already Gears 1 show some dirty graphics (I played it and saw how the LODs of textures are swapping so close to the camera)... and I also see jaggies.

Anyway,it is sure badass, very bad bad bad ass ...only a game for real men with big balls...isn`t it.

[pain777pas]

It looks drier that gears one. The pics look good but lets not go overboard here.

[felidae]

looks a little bit outdated but still good enough to compete with ... eehm, any other 360 exclusive.

[Rourker]

is looking really good, I still haven't played the first one though, should probably get around to doing that.

[testerg35]

"IF" Gears 2 gets better reviews than RFOM2, what excuses will PS3 fans use this time? I mean Gears beat RFOM the last time. Just curious. Will they use the whole "these sites are xbots and are biased against PS3" excuse?

[Sez]

you knw they will. or their classic one. MS paid the reveiwers off.

[na2ru1]

versus 2yrs dev time.

we'll see

[JEDI WOLVERINE]

I thought Killzone2 looked nice and it definitely seemed an improvement over Gears1 then i see these beauties,Gears2 has raised the bar again.

What with top-notch playability and supreme online multiplayer,these graphics are part of the biggest game of 2008..........

[DJ]

Have you even watched the new Killzone 2 footage? It stomps all over Gears.

[soxfan2005]

There is no way to accurately compare Gears 2 with Killzone. They are different games for different systems, with different characters and different environments and different weapons. What standard could possibly exist for an accurate comparison? Both will be amazing in their own ways.

[mfwahwah]

You can compare anything to anything.

Apples to oranges? An apple is red, an orange is orange. That's a difference. They're both fruit. That's a similarity.

I won't go into a KZ2 vs. Gears 2 thing here though, it's not the place.

[sajj316]

BULLLLLLLLSHOOOOOOOOTTTTTSSSSS !

Image Resolution is 1280x720 ... its easy to capture a screen at a super high resolution from the Dev Kit frame buffer and then reduce screen image size. It almost looks like these screens have 16x AA but the actual game does not.

Sorry ... but don't get your hopes up! How do you think Bungie allows you to capture those cool looking Halo 3 screens but it never looks like that in-game?

http://www.gamepro.com/arti...

[Koroshiya_Keefu]

These will have been snapped from a developer environment for sure, and then had post processing effects maxed, as it is only a screen grab. It isn't a 'true' representation though...

I'll be waiting for the much more superior PC version this time around.

[fufotrufo]

RESISTANCE PWNS GEARSSSS OF WARRR!!! IS SIMPLY THE BETTER GAMEE!!!

Metacritic

Gears 94% >>>>>> Resistance 86%!!!!!

RESISTANCE FTW!!!!!!!!

[jcgamer]

Gears of War 2 = Blockbuster of Fall 2008

not saying it's the only one, but it certainly WILL BE ONE...

Mad World :)

[Fishy Fingers]

Mad World looks awesome!

We'll probably get hate for giving props to a Wii game tho ;)

[Brixxer600]

I never expected it to look that good, it's mighty impressive, i'm just peeved that this and Resistance 2 are due at the same time, one of them will have to wait, up until now i was favouring Resistance but after seeing those screens i think i'll get this first, really liked the first game and those screens blew me away, excellent work by Epic.

[aliveinboston]

looks bloody amazing!

[Firstkn1ghT]

Yeah looks like Gears 2 is taking the crown for best graphics back again. I think its funny that people bring up KZ2 on here. I remember seeing screenshots and footage of KZ2 when the first Gears came out. And now Gears 2 is coming out and we're still looking and screenshots of KZ2. HAHA.

[Perkel]

my my what a peace of crap you are :)

here look and don't talk sh*t

http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News...

[Time_Is_On_My_Side]

An XBOX 360 game actually running in 720p but the multi-player doesn't look the same as the campaign. Epic should be talking to Bungie on the next Halo game so it doesn't look as ugly as Halo 3.

People are bringing out Killzone 2, to be honest I say Killzone 2 does look better, but Heavy Rain: The Orgiami Killer looks better than Killzone 2 (in my opinion).

[HerBieScrogg]

end of discussion

[pow3r of t3h c3ll]

but Im honestly not that impressed by these shots, looks just like gears 1 and therefore still not as good as uncharted.

And as for resistance 2, it does have slightly worse textures than gears but its draw distance is 10 times gears draw distance plus hordes of actual enemies on screen make it the more demanding game for a console to run.

These are the facts and you cannot argue with them you silly fanboys.

[NewSchoolGamer]

of uncharted is very different than that of Gears 2. You want to compare the graphics of Gears 2 with a game? Try Killzone 2 although it is pointless since we all know Killzone 2 has better graphics.

[Firstkn1ghT]

5 years to achieve and it's still comparable to Gears 2. What's funny is that the 360 gets 2 Gear games while KZ2 is STILL just all screenshots and talk.

[devilhunterx]

Wow! I am impressed. Best Bullshots of 2008.

[mfwahwah]

@6.1

Let's see. KZ2 has a lot more going for it in terms of production value. Don't believe me? Look at how they made the cutscenes. Look at the lighting engine. Look at the features in MP. Look at the DLC they're offering. Look at the animations.

Gears 2 already had the core code in place from Gears 1, they just needed to build a new game from it. KZ2 is from scratch... on a much more complex architecture too.

KZ2 is also finished, buddy. They're just delaying it to not compete with other PS3 shooters such as R2, Bioshock, and SOCOM coming out this Fall.

That means that the next 5 months or so are all polish, polish, polish.

Gears 2 looks nice, but KZ2 took longer because of MANY factors. Don't oversimplify your arguments.

I'm not bashing Gears 2 here, just arguing with your stupid @ss flame bait comments. I'm also bored, otherwise, I wouldn't give you the 2 minutes it took to type this.

[NewSchoolGamer]

We all know killzone 2 is better in graphics, Screenhots? Last time i checked they had gameplay vids which makes Gears of war 2 look bad.

Wow xbox360 fanboys are on the rise recently, the first to start these pathetic flame wars.

[NewSchoolGamer]

are you the second account of Powerofgreen or TheMart.

Funny how xbox360 owners are supposed to have more quality games although not by much because the xbox360 was released earlier and still they flame more than Ps fanboys.

[soxfan2005]

The worst fanboys are the ones who troll articles about exclusive games that will not even be produced for their system and post mindless "my system is better than yours" junk. I wonder why PS3 fanboys spend so much time on XBOX 360 stories anyway.

[Perkel]

my system is better than yours :)

but this game have best graphic on x360 (2nd gen game from epic) and i want to see it :)

but2 it's not worth it not even comparable to uncharted(1st gen)..

[SpartanZero]

Gears super awesome Resistance good average

[silverchode]

and halo is mediocre :)

[Covenant]

*droooooool*

[pshizle]

looks good

epic pushed this game to the limits

[SmokeyMcBear]

still has the nice glossy coating on everything.. not as bad as geow1 but its there... the lighting doesnt look up to par.. but the fire does indeed look very nice.

[THE TERMINATOR]

Uncharted, KZ2 and MGS4 are better lets get serious now.

[j-seb]

I forgot how freaking amazing Uncharted looks, anyone who thinks that game is cartoony just hasn't played it recently! Anyway Gears character models are really nice (love the detail in the armour and faces and the flamethrower), Some of the environment textures need work and from gameplay videos and screenshots, it appears they've toned down some of the lighting effects (probably to show of more of the character model). Impressive what Epic has managed to wrangle out of an updated UE3.

I would still say the Uncharted takes the cake graphically (the animation is also quite awesome), but Gears 2 is close to its heels. Can't wait to play it.

[Blaze929]

Then why the hell do you even click this news article? Then post about how bad it looks? Sony fanboys are ridiculous, go play your games....if you can find any.

[devilhunterx]

Didnt I see you in multiple PS3 only news? Or was it an another xb0t. Cant tell. you all look and sound alike.

[pain777pas]

The gameplay is not that good. Just calm down everyone its just a shooter seriously.

[Truplaya]

you cant have played the first one. Yes these graphics look nice but Gears is all about the GAMEPLAY. The one button for nearly every movement works so well and i love playing it still.

[NewSchoolGamer]

Bon Scott. LOL.

before any Ps3 fanboy arrived here xbox360 fanboys were saying that Gears of war 2 looks better than so and so on the PS3.

EDIT: @Tomfoolery last time I checked any member here has the right to go into an xbox360 post or a Ps3 post.

Anyway you look at it, xbox fans do the same for Ps3 posts.

[tomfoolery]

Its our news and our right New schoolgamer to say and do as we wish in OUR OWN THREADS!

PS3 leghumpers have no business arriving in here to troll and spread their BS and jealousy anyways!

Typical Sony fanboy

[dkgshiz]

Yet everyone knows its not. The cell is a 7 core 3.2ghz processor. Very obvious this is much more powerful than a tri core 3.2ghz processor.

[air1]

you sony fanatics are hardcore fanatics.. how can you say this game doesnt look great?! you ppl realy think that the ps3 is the only system that can do great games. ps3 is a great system too but you gata be snifin some damn glue cause most the sh!t yall say just sounds crazy and stup!d.

you sony fanatics are on crack. you need to get sony's sweaty ball's out your eyes. the funny part is that you ppl bash it but then say you will get it for pc. all i got to say is thanks for the support for another im sure micro thanks you to.

while ill be playing gears2 soon you ppl ar still gana just be talking about kz2 for like 5 months

[silverchode]

or playing socom or lbp or r2. and youll be playing gears 2, 5v5 sure is awesome. Have fun playing with racist 12 year olds. : )

[wangdiddy82]

but they also looked way touched up and i mean way touched up.. In fact i know they are.. Just go back and look at all the other screens for the game.. they look nothing alike. I can promise you the game wont look like that..

[PirateThom]

Yeah, there's no way the game looks like that.

It looks good, but not that good. You're fooling yourself if you think those shots aren't touched up. It's not a crime, they're for promotional purposes, but it's not "in-game".

[Closing]

Sure there are a lot of textures, but where's the coating for the surfaces? Everything looks the same, which looks like cardboard. Still by far the best online game I've played though. It's gonna be a blast!

One, and only reason to even own an xbox imo.

[cereal_killa]

this is the only reason i bought the 360 but after seeing the MP game footage on Gears2 (nothing really impressive on the footage it looked like Gears 1 IMO ) it looks nothing like these pics, but if these pics are not Bullshots (I'm not a photographer) then it will be one hell of a sweet looking game I'm still getting this game irregardless.

[Matpan]

WOW... I just LOVE Gears... *drools

This game is shaping incredibly good! I want to play it!!!

By the way... Nope its not realistic...it´s really nice and different to reality in an original and more compelling way than photorealism IMO :)

This, Resistance 2 and KZ2 will make any Shooter fan go crazy. Nice time for gamers, on ay platform!

[Droid]

poor droids STILL aren't impressed? LMFAO, lay off the sony cool aid. sad, lying f*cks. :)

Gears > Constipation 2 Grayzone 2

[silverchode]

not impressed since the pc version of gears looked about the same.

[Whoooop]

Common... you have to be crazy to think these are NOT bullshots...

BUT they still look AMAZING... The forth looks simply stunning.

:)

[creeture]

touch up

[7h3ultim8p00]

The number of negative PS3 fanboy posts in here proves just how much this game makes PS3 fanboys sh1t their pants in fear. Seriously, go troll somewhere else. Go play Uncharted.

[Blink_44]

Go play Too Human.

[7h3ultim8p00]

Go play Lair and Haze and Genji and Heavenly Sword.

Stupid.

[Blink_44]

Actually im going to go play MGS4, Warhawk, Uncharted, Folklore, Resistance, the last one, Siren, and GT5P

[foodbox]

Its great to see all the jealous Sony kids in here.

Fact: Gears 2 looks better than any game released on any console to date.

Fact: When Gears 2 is released, it will be the best looking game to that date.

Fact: It will sell terrific, play terrific, win Game of the Year awards and generally dominate the holiday.

Fact: You sony brand-whores will be in here crying about it then too.

[slave2Dcontroller]

This sh1t looks AMAZINGLY SEXY, I love teh Gears. Gr8 Job Epic!

[xxBATTLECATxx]

it looks good im not gonna downplay it like some other people
but i just get this feeling in my guy that we're being cheated, like it wasnt really "shopped" but like theyre hiding a few tricks to make it look good
like in Forza Motorsport 2, there was no dynamic shadowing in the environment but instead faked shadows by painting them onto a side of a building so it looks real when the cars passed by.
gears still looks a little muddy but itll look real good in motion im guessing.

[NanoGeekTech]

Nov 2008.Change will come...I will turn my 360 on again...Change will come..America.

[UberNazi]

Look's like screenshots from PC with 16xAA

[CNIVEK]

You insecure little cvnt, you've posted the same fanboy crap in multiple posts already. This is the Gamer Zone. Nobody fvcking cares if your PS3-lovin' ass likes the 360, OR Gears 2...let alone if you think these screens are "bullshots" or not. Take your little disease-ridden butt >>>

"hey XBOT
Uncharted looks miless better than queers of war 1.1 . dont even bring up KZ2

which will never be matched graphically by a RROD BOX game"

Well, gee...I wonder who could have sent it? :o

[EnforcerOfTheTruth]

I have the first one for PC and must say it's a crap game. The graphics isn't anything really great, not like the pictures MS fanboys were showing off with. I assure it's the same with these shots, good textures in some places, bumb mapped like no tommorow and very low polycount. Crap is you ask me.

[dwjohnson011211]

at least somebody knows what their talking about!^_^

The game will recieve critical acclaim no matter what you tards think.

[AIi_The_Brit]

Yeah- RIGHT!

there touched up

all screenshots of any game are of this nature are touched up in photoshop to make them look better its a proven fact its just something game devs do

[cemelc]

Resistance its going to own this game on so many level:
Better Plot.
Better weapons.
60 players multiplayer.
8 player coop (different form the single player).
Insomniac Seal of Quality.
Against:
Weak history(Epic has never made a good history in a game)
5 vs 5 multiplayer.
2 player coop(same as the single player).
Horde mode that is 5 player also.

Man i hope M$ pull out a lot of cash in order to overhype Gears of Crap 1.2 cos in terms of quality or quantity theres just no way that game is better than Resistance 2.

[cemelc]

You're telling me gears is better???.... a game that came out a year earlier than gears got more than 6 soldiers on screen the single player was way longer that the one in gears, got coop, the weapons were so good that halo3 copy them (bubbleshield anyone????), the plot was great heck they even have subplots in the game, multiplayer from a game that came one year earlier was in many ways better than the one in gears not just because you could have more ppl playing(in a game that came a year earlier), got achievements, the vehicles were way better(The level of the tank in gears was crap in all its glory), the enemies got a better AI, the enemies didn't get stuck in a wall.

How come a game that came a year earlier is worse than gears?....Cover system????(i remember operation wingback that game got cover system aswell and a secret between us.... that game got a plot), gears got better reviews or better sales? (microsoft pay reviews to get halo 3 good review and that game deserves 8 tops.... 9.5 in your dreams Jonh) don't see why they couldn't pay for gears as well, that game that came a year earlier tear apart gears and i even dare to say halo 3 that came 2 years after that one

[Prince Aizen Sozuke]

looked like this, it would be considered a failure.

[mumarkz]

................bigger, better, and more badass

[robotnik]

doesnt look bad, but not worth my 60€, sorry M$.

[hazardman]

All cahill does is talk shieet..Its like he pushed out Uncharted out his ass..he will argue with you til the end of time..that Uncharted is the best looking game ever..tho these pics are proving you wrong..you come out and say they're bullshit shots..dude it's not the end of the world if a Gears 2 looks better..you wanna know the truth..you can't handle the truth..you lame gamer...get a your eyes fixed and your nails done.=]

[karlostomy]

I have seen on the ps3.

That is just brutally obvious.

What is a bit concerning, however, is the myriad of Sony fanboys feverishly damage controlling like always!

[juuken]

Damage controlling *what* exactly?

It sounds like the other way around.

360 fanatics trying to defend a game that still looks exactly the same! I'm sorry but Gears 1 beats the crap out of Gears 2 as of right now in terms of graphics. Not a fan, but Gears 1 looked much better than this.

Oh...wait, you're one of those 360 fanatics!

[karlostomy]

Although I am flattered, please stop stalking my posts, ok, princess?

Thank you.
(kiss kiss)

[Matpan]

I think we all agree those are not actual ingame, bu rather renders using the engine. That is most probably how you will be seeing the game on a nice PC with all settings maxed out AA and AF and a nice LCD :D.

But... c´mon... which dev doesn´t do that????

Ingame still looks impressive IMO. This just look more impressive :)

[THE TERMINATOR]

Even these bullshots cant touch the best the PS3 has.
Also PS3 games look CGI type like KZ2. These look like its been done on PC. Textures look flat strange faded color. Look at the other screens from July now THATS how this game really looks.
Looks like u bots will have to find out the hard way.

[snakeater3]

i only have a ps3 but damn this game looks good. im not going to compare it to anything. im just saying it looks good. period. anyone who says otherwise, i can recommend a good optician to get his eyes checked. well done epic and geow2 team!

[yamamoto114]

You sir have your head on right.

[edhe]

Nobody think that they may have spent some time putting AA into the engine?

Wierd huh.

[PirateThom]

They did, if you play Gears of War on PC, you'll know that.

[pornflakes]

but the cell?..lol

FF13 with 4 SPUs will also run on the 360 CPU.. owned ps3jews.

You saw the new resistance MP? looks like resi 1.5.

And gears has the outdated U3 engine? So you all ps3tards wont buy bioshock right? cause its outdated and you already played it ALL on your MICROSOFT WINDOWS PC? Right?

[juuken]

...I'm not buying it.

Unreal Engine *is* outdated.

[PirateThom]

Yeah, this looks better than everything on either console... shame it's fake, no doubt the PC version running on some theoretical specs.

[marichuu]

Looking at the screenshots and some of the comments, I'll have to agree that they're not "pure". In the other hand.. the naked eye won't see the difference during the action. The graphics looking like that and the graphics we will get won't have any effect on the gameplay.

[batichon frandy]

better graphic than resistance and kiilzone

[juuken]

No.

[00000000000000000001]

Best looking game so far, way better than Killzone2/uncharted/MGS4. I bet it also doesn't have the framerate problems that MGS4 has!

[PirateThom]

Use your eyes, these are promotional shots that have been touched up.

[Rocky87]

Oh man this is real sh*t. Best graphics so far ... you can't compare these crispy textures with the sterile level design of Killzone 2. This is a masterpiece like the first Gears.

[derek]

Don't own a 360 just a PS3, so I had to borrow one to play the first Gears, but with this new Gears and the impending price drop, I may have to pick one up.

[Blink_44]

Meh seen better.

[neonchez]

but not as good as KZ2

[yamamoto114]

Gears of War 2 pretty? Hah. Killzone 2 pretty? HAH! Resistance 2 pretty? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. *hearty chuckle*

Soon we will reach the age when us developing monitors and GPU's that can display 256+ colors will be pointless, because all of us want to use mud graphics in our games. At this point they might as well be all shades of gray, all shades of brown, and all shades of red. Sorry kids, but fancy lighting and texture size won't do Jack Schitt to make a game look interesting if your game has a color palette that ranges from piss yellow to poop brown. Because no matter what, poop brown will always look like s***.

You want good graphics? How about Crysis? Oops, 95% of us have computers that can't even run it. DiRT? Oh wait, no one's heard of DiRT. Uncharted? Maybe it's TOO colorful. Yeaah, and don't get me started on the facial animations. Halo 3? Textbook example of vibrant, colorful environments at a terrible resolution.

Looks like I've only got one company left to rely on. *throws all consoles out a window and begins to wait anxiously for Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2*

Oh yeah. And let's not forget the oft-forgotten most important rule of gaming:

GAMEPLAY > GRAPHICS.

Gears 1 sucked. The first Killzone sucked. Resistance sucked. HMMMMMMM.

And yes I do like FPS. Call of Duty 4 ftw. Perfect Dark ftw. Half-Life 2 ftw. Team Fortress 2 ftw. BioShock ftw. Portal ftw. Goldeneye ftw. Halo 1 ftw. Now THOSE, my fellow "gamers", are shooters.

l2game, children.

[poopface1]

I liked it casue it was a 3rd person shooter that was actually good(especially co-op). From your list there you must be a pC gamer. You ever play DEUS EX. thats the best shooter ever after HL1 too me. I have also owned all those except portal/tf2, I'm more of a cs person.

[poopface1]

this looks better than anything on ps3, and thats not just because of how it looks, but how it plays. Anyone comparing this to uncharted is a moron cause uncharted isnt half the game gears is(well mabe it is half, cause it doesnt have multiplayer).

[pain777pas]

I played gears of war from front to back in one day the graphics were great so I enjoyed it at the time. Bioshock supassed that game for me I was amazed at how good it was. I like how you run and hide and shoot I like the final boss where if you go in the dark you die. I like the water in the raining level which was cool i like how you have hide behind the car while it slips down the street and you need its light or you'll die. I played this game loved chainsawing clowns it was great at the time once I beat the campain I played online for a week then got bored like any other game. It had a great trailer the for the first game so much hype and at the time lived up to that hype but times have changed i want to play flower more than this game or braid and I'm serious

[Agent_S]

F**k the immature fanboys, these screens are beautiful, although im still jealous of LBP damn sack boy has to be so awesome, anyway this is my Game of the Year!

[DA_SHREDDER]

I beat it in one day, and I really made myself finish the game. I think the cover system is dumb,, having to press the same button to do everything is a really bad idea. Also, have to put a whole clip into somebody is really annoying. The chainsaws were cool, at first, then it just got repetitive. I mean, dont get me wrong, it was a good game for 06, but Epic really should have done something else then this. Look what it has to go up against now? R2, Cod WAW, Socom, Quantum Solace, and I could go on and on. Im sorry but you 360 only guys really have a whole crappy library line up this winter. I feel sorry for you guys.

[PureGamer]

Graphics > gameplay zomgggg

[na2ru1]

did this loooonnnggg ago on the ps3

[AIi_The_Brit]

haha

you know whats really sad?

those images are touched up

and still

the textures look LIKE SH*T

[kesvalk]

isn't the model in the first screen a bit blurred? and... they use tricks like the shirt and the arm, are the same texture the same in the glove... isn't this a trick used in PS2 games? i aways thought the games from the gen din't did this type of trick... i am disapointed with the graphics, like i was with ninja gaiden 2 graphs.

the background seems okay, hope it's not because it's far from the camera...

games from PS3 are like this too?

i was thinking about buying one of these consoles, because the graphics were great, but i think i wait a bit now...

[Silent]

so thru out the whole game there's only one or 2 baddies pop at a time?

[JCITY]

i know people are gonna think Im A FANBOy BUT u cant be serious...even with these pics it still doesn't look better to me..people have posted pics of before me..jus look at em..uncharted is on a another level...and they were screens taken off a tv...

[7h3ultim8p00]

Killzone 2 is a super hot girl, 10/10 model-type body, but she's boring to talk to and anything she throws at you you've seen it and done it before.

Gears 2 is the 8.5/10 girl, hot girl, decent body, and she's very interesting and fun to be around and she makes you laugh.

"Unreal Engine III = old"?????
Since its only 2 years old and the third installment of the classic Unreal Tournament game (PS3 and 360) runs on it??? Resistence 2 looks awesome but no better, 300 foot bosses isnt always a good thing, neither is 30 vs 30 MP games, that just means there will be less strategy and more mindless run and gunning. Gears is squad based multiplayer, not huge battles and sh*t.

it all started from the first post, that idiot who said only the 360 can run the unreal 3 engine wtf ps3 and pc is more than capable too.

listen this game looks extremely good mayb even better than resistnace. but resistance is 30 on 30 vs. 5 on5. with 8 player online co-op. Gears will never have much going on at once. also kz2 looks equal or greater than gears. i will be picking up the aboce games because they all look great. but the person who put that first post is a complete idiot he started all this stupidity.
