53 Leaked Gears of War 2 Screenshots

GameXtract writes "Well the guy at least knows how to share the content. Along with pictures of the boxart, and the disc, he has added a live stream as well as releasing 53 screenshots of leaked content. The quality of the picture differs, but with over 53 screenshots uploaded, I'm sure you can find a few inside that will peak your interest. For those wondering you will be able to purchase the game on November 7th. Yes, it does seem like one heck of a wait with all this leaked content. Get all the screenshots after the jump."

1 - Not the best game this year
but certainly one of the best. Actually it's the best xbox360 exclusive this year.

I just love the game.

Anyway, Gears 2 is okay, but Fable 2 is definitely going to be better.

1.6 - Some of the best textures on the 360
but low polygon character models, environments, and shockingly poor draw-distance. Lighting from gun-fire/explosions and shadows are terribly simplified and are worse than some last-gen games like Conker on the original Xbox.

Basically, it looks like a typical Unreal Engine game that compromises on everything else for the sake of texture data. Obviously, the Xbox360 can do better than this, although the average consumer may not really care as long as it's sufficiently flashy and bloody.

You mean the blur that seems to be spreading amongst all these new 360 titles? The lack of full visuals? Does anyone see a trend happening here besides me? The backgrounds of all these games coming out now are blurred to hell for the sake of the foreground looking good...

yeah in these pics, from what i see all of the pics have striped detail....and it's all blue.

no sh!t it's cause it's a cam shot, it shouldn't be viewed liked that, it should be viewed on your TV, so you can get the full clarity.

Nothing was said about "Blue stripes"; you made that up on your own. Gears 2 really does look the same as Gears 1. Most people have trouble seeing the difference between the two titles. The only thing that gives it away for me is that the character models are utilizing a better lighting system.

What DJ was trying to say is that people saying that Gears 2 looks like Gears 1, has nothing to do with the "blue stripes".

Nobody mentioned the blue stripes and they don't need to. The game isn't much improved from the first one visually and these screens as well as a lot others without stripes of any kind can prove that.

Blue stripes or not the game looks like Gears 1 and that was the main point. So forget about the damn blue stripes.

Oh yes. The old "looks the same" defense. You sony boys need to find start using a new one because that doesn't work anymore. But of course Motorstorm 2 and Resistance 2 are graphically above and beyond their predecessors, right? A recent article said Resistance 2 looked like Halo 2. I have my issue of Game Informer here and they specifically say "it's leaps and bounds better graphically and gameplay wise."

In short, Sony fanboys think it looks the same while professional game journalists think it looks way better. :)

But yes, Resistance 2 is a huge leap over the first installment. Not just graphically, but in the amount of content and game modes. I mean come on, TWO campaigns and 60 player Online??

Do they ever explain why everyone in Gears of War universe has the same body type? Are they all henanced by genetics? Even the Locust have the same body types as the main cast. It's like Epic made one model and then slapped different textures on them.

Anyways and eitherways, it looks really good. So did the 1st one, but when someone says "leaked" pics of Gears of War, I don't tend to take notice. It's just one of those games that we all kind of know what to expect and the hype is already here.

Ya know?

Silly argument. Gears of War is about one thing. It's about KICKING ASS!!!!!!!!!! It's a game injected with a dose of steriods. It's a game that comes with a freaking chainsaw at the end of your gun. Only bad asses are allowed to play this game. No skinny sissy guys allowed.

6 - you know basically from what i'm reading
people are using these cam shot to determine the detail of the game, it still looks better than MGS4

as this non bullet shot of mgs4 clearly says so.

http://www.gamersyde.com/po...

now, someone....please enlighten me on why i should not be saying this blasphemy.

edit, sorry, i know how many people like MGS4, but they don't seem to us 360 gamers solace.....on top of that their praising a game that's graphics were no different than any other game on either console.

now, no one can say 360's weak as bioshock has already shown otherwise. and you have already seen bioshock on ps3, not quite as 360's bioshock but still you've seen it in motion. and I'm here to confirm that Gears 2 is the bioshock of 2008.

Sorry but Gears 2 does not look better than MGS4! Equal to maybe but not better than! I mean what kind of idiot must you be to suggest that these off screen shots look better than MGS4? When you actually have a PS3 and a 360 in front of you with both MGS4 and GEARS 2 playing, then you may compare! Until then, Stop trying to create a flame war with the PS3 Fanboys! The Open Zone is designed for people like you!

*EDIT* Wow! 4 disagrees already!?! Well im wrong then! You can compare off screen shots with a game already released! Gears 2 Does look better than MGS4! Also you dont have to own both consoles and games to judge it looks! This site is becoming a joke! Should be called N4F.com (News 4 Fanboys!

6.2 - Art Direction
Everyone has their own preferences. You can compare art-direction styles, but you can't compare 2 games of equal graphical prowess. You can however compare 2 games of different graphical prowess. MGS4 has better graphics than GeoW1 because MGS4 has HDR lighting, Dynamic shadowing, dynamic lighting, realistic facial expressions, interactive water, better lip-syncing, and better motion capture. Granted, GeoW1 was released in 2006. Now with GeoW2, it looks like Epic has closed all those gaps and it's going to be the art-direction GeoW2 and MGS4 took which will decide which game "looks better"

WTF?? Who the hell said the 360 is weak? The 360 and the PS3 both have lots of untapped potential in them. I agree that bioshock looks better on 360 however what do you expect when it is well known that unreal engine 3 and ps3 do not work that great together. It is nothing to do with how powerful one console is! Still bioshock looks great on ps3! Please stop with the blatant fanboyism! Microsoft are not reading what you are saying and they dont give a crap about you! They just want your money so please GROW UP!

I agree with everything Mario is saying. UE3 is documented to not work well with PS3. I wouldn't base the UE3 as the de-facto standard because UE3 was designed as a Multiplatform engine. A better comparison of a console's potential is between each console's flagship game.

Sony's is KZ2, and 360's is most likely GeoW2. Graphical prowess, not art-direction. Don't get the two mixed up.

"I agree that bioshock looks better on 360 however what do you expect when it is well known that unreal engine 3 and ps3 do not work that great together. It is nothing to do with how powerful one console is!"

hmmmm, i see, so is that why ps3 gamers hate the UT3 engine so much?

"Still bioshock looks great on ps3!"

true.

"Please stop with the blatant fanboyism! Microsoft are not reading what you are saying and they dont give a crap about you! They just want your money so please GROW UP!"

yes i know that they don't read comments from N4G, and if they didn't care they wouldn't have extended my warranty, and it's not just them who want's my money......it's THE WHOLE WORLD, believe me i haven't yet walked out of a store empty handed.

edit,

"You think microsoft did that because they care? It was to save their ass from getting lawsuits filed against them for knowingly selling faulty products!"

right, but they did it, and now, what would have you'd said if they had not done it?

"If you've only seen preview footage of MGS4"

hmmmm, same could be said of gears2 to ps3 gamers.

DJ-

"I can understand saying "Gears 2 looks more impressive." But anyone who's actually played through MGS4, such as myself, have a lot of trouble saying that. The game first act is nowhere near representative of Act 2, or especially 3 and 4."

i'm not wrong fully accusing MGS4 of being a crappy game, it's the graphics and the aren't to shabby, but saying that their above any game out there isn't making a non fanboy comment, would you not agree that bishock holds such rewards as well, look at it.

First, i own both a 360 and ps3! I do not hate the unreal engine. I just buy all my unreal engine games for my 360 as i know that the engine is better suited to the 360 due to its architecture being similar to a PC. As FantasyStar said the UE3 is built for multiplatform games hence why the 360 and pc run the engine great due to having similar architectures! This is by no means a dig at the PS3, if anything it is epics fault for not optimizing the engine better for ps3!

Gears 2 looks great when its recorded properly with a capture card, of course it isn't going to look great when the pictures are taken on a 1mp camera and the game is being played on a crappy tv.

Plus, why am i getting disagrees when i say mgs4 and gears 2 are nothing alike? They really are not, i love mgs4 it is MY GoTY but comparing the two is stupid.

it means like bio shock how Blu-ray help it to looks better
ps3 has enough power to convert bio shock to bioshitty
ps3 can load only 125-150MB texture compare to 350+MB of xbox360
so see the Blu-ray cant help ps3 for more and high quality texture and with out HDD it cant work for game
an also data in Blu-ray should repeated twice or 3times in the disc to reach sufficient transfer rate(25GB/2=12.5GB) + 5GB install show us that Blu-ray for gaming can hold equal data as DVD-DL with higher cost(Blu-ray+HDD+Blu-ray Drive=high cost&low performance )

The first Gears of War did extremely well right? Answer that to yourself right now yes or no? Ok now that you have said yes think about this, the gameplay has changed and don't say no, yes it has. Since you pick up a shield or a meat shield the game has changed, you're not stationary any longer so that changes the game new weapons changes the game. So why would they change the gameplay that much more if it did so freakin good to begin with? It got all those awards for a reason so of course they're going to keep the core gameplay the same.

And one more thing, what the hell is up with all these Sony Fangirls (yes I said fangirls cause all you do is b!tch about everything) the disagree's on this site when someone says something about Xbox is out of control.

Oh yes btw, don't judge the game off those screenshots wait until the game comes out. What if someone got R2 early and released pics like that and everyone commented on them what would you say? Exactly.

I went ahead and talked about Gears 2 in general since this site is hating on it so much. Just wanted to throw my $00.02

At this point, no one can tell whether it looks the same as Gears or War 1 or not on a HDTV in person, except for the few who got it early on GAF.

I remember when some people got MGS4 early and posted screenshots like this and people (mainly fanboys) pointed out that they look nothing like preview screenies from IGN or the official site. Hell people still compare MGS4 to it's tech demo way back in 2005 and say the tech demo looks better than the actual game now. This happened to the recently released Brothers in Arms game and it's tech demo in 2006.

This is no case different, though this will be hated upon more fiercely for reasons unknown.

PS: I just realized that I said MGS4 and screenshots and nothing like like preview screenshots in the same sentence which the same as a death sentence here. Please don't kill.

How can you say you know resistance 2 wont be? You know nothing about resistance 2 or gears 2 yet! When you play and complete BOTH then you may state this. No doubt about it, Gears 2 looks fantastic as does resistance 2, however, i personally believe that neither game has recieved much of an upgrade in terms of graphics. The focus has been applied more to the online modes.

As for GOTY, i believe LBP has a very good chance of winning from my impressions from the beta, however, like i said it is still too early to tell!

*edit*
@ Guns n swords
"right, but they did it, and now, what would have you'd said if they had not done it?"

I would have been pissed like many 360 owners!
