By no means am I saying it looks bad, on the contrarey I found the Visuals were great. ITs jsut, I expected to see something that looked much better than Gears 1, adn I really didnt see that. Yes, it was improved by quit a bit, but it wasnt like Gears 1 graphics times 5 or anything liek that. THe animations were very good though and all those Locusts looked great. Im just saying it isnt the best ive seen this gen. Of course, Nov. is still a ways off.

No I did not find it underwhelming but i do find the amount of damage control threads a bit overwhelming.

Definatly wasn't bad but like everyone has been saying it looks like gears of war, nothing really better than everyone was hyping it to be. It looks good, not amazing after seeing games like killzone 2. One thing that it does do well is the amount of action and stuff going on that makes you feel like your in a war, something the first one did do. Might i add killzone 2 does this also.

Gears of War 1 "Expansion Pack" Holdiay 2008

I think this is what most of us expected, no? Most same-generation sequels turn out this way.

visually depending on what you'd expect it might be a let down. gears 2 it does look better but not by much it doesn't measure up to KZ2 but the gameplay looks much more impresive

It looks like the first Gears but with a spit shine. I didn't expect a huge improvement. The gameplay actually looks fun this time.

Actually, looks a whole lot better, a lot more colour while keeping that "dark and menacing" sort of look that Gears is well known for. Only thing I disliked was that the AI seemed too intelligent(Those flying things moving back and forth out of Marcus' aim) and then they seemed very dumb at some points where he was hacking away at a monster on that transport and the other monsters just stood there. I'm sure it will be tweaked though.

I am always been and will forever be a cow, I watched the Gears 2 video and I can honestly say that I would play the game if I had a 360, it looks awesome.

Not like EVERY SINGLE ONE of the cows out there who go "IT SUCKS" just to make sure lemmings dont get any good games.

I feel sorry for having a ps3, because it seems that the target consumer is an idiot or something.

Please TC, even if youre not, say that you are a lemming and just didnt like the video.

It looks awsome, My favourite part was when the guy got cut in half, it looked like it just cut through him like butter too, so good. At least we know what the meat cube stuff will be used in.

I dont know what you mean by underwhelming. How can you expect something to increase 5x. Especially gears of war x5. Thats crazy talk, Gears looked absolutely amazing. And Gears of war 2 just improves even further on that amazing look.

I didnt say I didnt like it. Please dont put words in my mouth. IT looked GREAT, it jsut wasnt a Massive Improvement like I thought it would be, but it still looks better. I never once said it sucked, please stop Labeling me with Falshoods.

Gah I still hate Cliff Bleszinski.

It looks the same as Gears 1 with a little better lighting, more locust on screen and a better framerate.

I thought it was great, i'm very glad the new environment's r a lot more open the first game felt a bit claustrophobic i guess. Cant wait to get on that tank and kill some locust with my PC :D.

Not underwhelming, exactly what I expected. Not a HUGE improvement, but more light and you can see more so that's a lot better than the first. Looks great.

underwhelming? that was the very same arguement cows made when gears of war was first shown. there were alot of things going on at once in the trailer and it also proves the 360 can handle many objects on screen without any slow down

Its what I expected and more importantly it delivered on what I expected.

  • Bigger action.
  • More action.
  • More on screen.
  • More colors.
  • Improved graphics.
  • Chainsaws.
  • Looked just Fing awesome to play

Man its all about the gameplay and the feel and this looks to deliver. They better nail that story down though.

I actually did like it (just to set the record straight) it looked Improved. Im just saying that its not the best ive ever seen. IMHO, I found the KZ2 footage to look a tad better, but both look Phenominal. I was expecting from all the Lemmings Hype for this game to completely blow KZ 2 and other console games out of the water, and Graphically it did not do that.

Graphics were exacly the same. It just moved more smooth. IM not being a fanboy im just saying what I saw.finalfantasy94

The lighting is much better as well, and the scale has been multiplied by like ten. People always bashed Gears because of "teh cramped levels!" so much for that.

Or because it was a grey/brown/bloom light mess.

I guess Epic can't fix EVERYTHING, right? ;)

Graphics seem improved somewhat. It looks like the gameplay has had the biggest improvement.
