GameTrailers: Gears of War 2 Comparison of War

sonarus - 149 days 22 hours ago

Well Gears 2 looks better but marginally so. About as marginal as usual sequel is on most consoles. Sort of like how GodOW2 looked better than GodOW 1.

Gears 2 is the sequel to a already made next gen title. It cant be like Resistance because that was a launch title they didnt even know what they were doing with the hardware. The last MGS was on the Ps2 so ofcoarse this MGS4 was going to be 30 times better looking. Killzone 1 the same thing as MGS.

Even if they did no upgrades Gears 2 could still stand with the best of them. You cant perfect perfection you can only improve when it allows you to improve.

the colors, the textures, but YOU guys say the game hasn't improved much? ha ha Are you guys serious? Look at the comparison, the game looks awesome, so why do sony loyalists make sure they jump on Gears threads so quickly to downplay the game?.... oh wait nevermind, silly question, this is the alternate reality known as n4g.

@ JokesOnYou

You really need to calm down, let's not forget the amount of hype that was coming with this in-game trailer. I have to admit I was expecting a lot more from the graphics department, comparing this to Killzone 2 (it's inevitable) Gears of War 2 did not deliver the graphics to rival KZ2.

Gears of War 2 will certainly, no doubt in my mind set the bench mark for graphics and game play on the Xbox 360, but that's where it stops.

That was not a good video comparison. I am playing Gears right now in the background and they made it look darker and a little muted in this comparison. There is no doubt the game has seen some visuals upgrades but they are minor. That isn't a bad thing considering how excellent the original is but let's not make it out to be more then it actually is.

This generation of gaming suffers severely from over hyped product that usually never lives up to the hype. I hope Gears 2 breaks this streak. The original was plagued with glitches and frame drops when playing online. Epic created a lot of patches but they usually fixed some problems and added new ones. I hope that same doesn't hold true for this one because the dueling chainsaws have me squirming in fear of a whole new set of glitches. Since a lot of the glitches in the original were based around the chainsaw.

This game definitely looks like they added some nice detail, a little punch in the color palette, some new animations and gameplay elements, but OMG mind blowing visual new never before seen eyegasm it's not.

WHY is it that whenever a person differs in opinion and states a truth,he/she is automatically a Sony loyalist?

Downplay the game?Are you SERIOUS?lol,if you knew how much I love this game,you wouldn't utter such a comment.

Here are the things I immediately noticed in GeOW 2:Lighting has improved,Framerate looks to be silky smooth(still at 30FPS though),you can now fight against the Brumack,and finally;The graphics look very much like GeOW 1.Now is this a bloody bad thing?Heck no,as GeOW 1 STILL outdoes the majority of Xbox 360 games when it comes to the graphics department.

Anyways,I didn't fall in love with GeOW 1 because of the damn graphics;It was the gameplay.So before you start pointing the 'Sony loyalist' finger at people,take a step back and look at what you're doing

Not really a HUGE improvement but it did improve in some spots. They still got about 6 months to improve the rest of the stuff, so im sure it will look better by then.

i think it is fair to compare it to god of war series.

God of war 1 was awesome and God of war 2 is equally awesome, but with bigger more epic setting with some cool moves.

I don't think it will bring more audience than it already has, but will certainly satisfy the audience it has.

I mean come on, they got only two years and to think that they will surpass graphics set by Killzone 2 or uncharted is unrealsitic.

An overall improvements in all region is better game, then becoming a graphics whore.

I do agree with some of what you said but you cant judge on one video because one level might show of better then a big open level where you stuck on a tank thing:P.

YOU have your opinion i have mine, happy gaming if your not a fanboy :/

Ok you guy's are really funny. Killzone2 look's exactly or actually most of you say better than the e3 2005 trailer. But gear's only looks a little bit better, alway's a lose-lose situation. But hey to each to his own i guess.

If any level is going to look better, it is going to be one like this because it is on rails and a lot of procedures that would normally use the processor can be used for other resources. Most of the backgrounds do not have to be real-time rendered because you do not have to worry about a player interacting with them, and AI is cut down because most of the things going on are scripted.

I do have to say I am disappointed because they were talking about how the new version of the UE allows them to have 100 characters on screen. I didn't think they meant 100 guys on a battlefield where there is no interaction with them.

I definitely think this game will deliver though regardless of whether people think it looks better or not. Like you said, this is just one level. I am sure they chose the one they had optimized the most to show off, so let's hope further videos down the line can hold up to the scrutiny they are sure to gather.

All I want is a more cohesive story (one that actually goes somewhere), coop online, and some cool new weapons. I could really care less if it looks better than Gears 1...it's not like the first one looked too shabby in the first place lol.

Surely they would show the best looking level they have running, so I reckon that level will be one of the best-looking in the whole game.
