Can we stop comparing console games to Gears...PLEASE?

im just tired off all the comparisons for PS3 games, and hell, even 360 games to Gears...so far ive seen at least

Heavenly sword vs GEAR ZOMG!!!!

LAIR draw distance and 2048348230 enemies vs little place GEARS ROFL!1111!!!11!!1!1

Uncharted Charecter models more Realistic than GEARS LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

MGS4 is a THEATER vs Gears DVD hahahahhaa

I notice that in every comparison thiers always a specific thing that looks better than gears...like the amount of enimies is more techincally impressive, or charecters....so lets lay down the ground rules for a respectable debate on better graphics shall we?:

1. if u only find one aspect that is debatablly better...thats not = better graphics...

2. I kno its hard but try to compare games that are in the same genre...comparing a dragon flying game vs gears is stupid...neither r ever gonna look better cause theyre too different, its like comparing rachet and clank to Gran Turismo...its just retarded.

3. This one u might wanna write down...i know it wont be followed but If u can push the fanboy out of u....DONT COMPARE GEARS TO GAMES THAT ARENT OUT YET. Personallly i think the Halo3 beta is what the halo mp is gonna look like, but its still stupid to talk about graphics in a game thats not out...it leads to such things as

a. but teh alpha/beta

b. bu bu teh downgradde

So, in all, if its at least the same art style, its out NOW, and in most aspects it looks better than gears, cows, ill be the first lemming to admit it, otherwise, just stooooop flooding the boards

(PS-HERMITS notice how i said console and ps3, dont bring the crysis bull s h i t in here, i dont care) 

True, its yet to sink into people that Gears is not a techincal marvel, just a first draft of the Unreal 3 Engine's abilities strapped into seriously small maps with max of 8 players. Any company could do it eventually.

So it was the first game to do it? as I said before ... 8 players max, very small levels, thats not usually the aim of developers, EPIC GAMES decided to show-case the Unreal 3 Engine, there you have it, if you think other developers cant cram that ammoutn of graphics into such level designs and player limits then your just dillusional.

EPIC GAMES suck at optmization, they always have, look at Crysis 32+ on Powerstruggle maps (A little smaller than Battlefield maps) with those great graphics and physics.

Yes I said Crysis, oh and UT3 will show how much further progressed they have since GEar.

Heres a newsflash! Games take years to make - not every next gen game is released at the same time, Crysis was delayed a year for optmization and gamplay, graphics were done LONG ago.

If you think Gears was just a showcase for the Unreal Engine 3.0, then you are mistaken. Gears has outstanding gameplay besides nice visuals. And the concept of the game was in development for a very long time.

Errr, Gears is the best that the 360 can offer at the moment..visually. and its stunning and right now still the best for consoles. Its only normal for other fans for there consoles to try and compare to shut the lemmings up...Do you know how many lemmings used gears to show of the 360 graphical powers? and diss other PS3 titles?

Stop being hypocrytes and suck it up..its system wars. Your confusing this place with another, that cares...sorry but crying about it won't make it stop. 

It's kind of hard not to compare it when every x360 fanboy says "Well it's no Gears of War" for the past 6 months.

I think people are suddenly tired of comparing that game because maybe a certain huge game is suffering in comparion (Halo 3)

Why most it always be just wait especialy when sooo easy ?SecretPolice

Would you please translate this for me as i'm afraid I only speak english, thanks.

Why are you under the impression that I care what the PS3 gets? No ammount of money speeds up the process, its down to those employeed with speed & quality, thats just completely daft to say the least.

@Fearless

Ok a showcase I guess not, but the game is very basic, you have to agree with this, good 3rd person gamplay, silly little minigames, short story mode, The online choices / maps / players is small.

If they dont otpimize better, then GeoW 2? Will be another short but pretty game..... only.... other games will be out with a huge size difference and better graphics.

EPIC GAMES claim that UT3 cannot be maxxed on Current PCs, UT2004 and UT1999 were awfully optmized in comparison with other releases , EPIC developement limited GEARS size AND run out of time to fix the Multiplayer to a good standard. 

Errr, Gears is the best that the 360 can offer at the moment..visually. and its stunning and right now still the best for consoles.

Do you expect 360 fans to use a game like Gun to show off it's graphics? Of course their gonna use Gears. Do I expect Ps3 fans to use a game like Untold Legends for the same purpose? Use some common sense man.

                 When something said like " Gears is no big deal and anyone can do it " It promted me to ask " If it is so easy; why are we still waiting ". Got it?

Do you even read?? I replying regarding why gears is always used for comparisons. I didn't question about why the xbox fans used  it....DUH! Its a no brainer that they use gears..cause its basically the best graphical game for a console...so its only normal for others to use IT...to compare and it to PS3 games. Since lemmings loved using it to diss the PS3 games. Its only pay back.

Its a silly question anyways.

It is basic. But it´s still a very fun game. It was relatively short I suppose. But I played through it allot of times. I liked the game. Couldn´t get enough of it a while back. Now, I´m playing new games. I´ll start playing Gears again when I want to. Shouldn´t be long.

Actaully it's more like lemmings are comparing Lair to Kameo lol... How blind and stupid can you get? CHRIS_K_UK

Well that seemed needlessly harsh. I have to say, all these comparisons of games to Gears and Halo 3 is really a compliment to how good they really are. Let them compare. Just be glad you're playing the games that set the bar so high ;)

-Maddog-

people are showcasing its power cause cows said the 360 is so much less powerful than ps3...thats why...and if u read the MF'ing post i said i kno games on the ps3 will look better but its dumb to compare it to games that arent out...thats ignorant and stupid.. 

While I can agree with your sentiment, as this is becoming way too common and givng Gears some legendary status it doesn't deserve.  I mean, its an amazing game, but hardly worth the legendary status it is gaining.  It's ultimately forgetable in the long term I think.

But the fact is that it IS an amazing game and therefore has set the bar.

Well Gears is the best looking console game thus far, and Cows are trying desperately to de-throne it, cuz lets face it, its not like they have anything better to do, like play games on their PS3.... lolZandeus

I can't make sense of it either, it sounds like you wrote two sentences then removed the end of the first one and the beginning of the second one.

I agree, its quite annoying.  This is what happened to me last night:

Me:  Uncharted looks really good!

Some dude:  Lolz!  Tha's not in the same LEAGUE as Gears!

Me:  :|
Teufelhuhn

:lol: I think I would have reacted the same way :lol:

Mass Effect and UT3 are going to make Gears look like crap.foxhound_fox

I sure hope so!

lets stop talking about gears full stop it was a horrible game. ive played snes games longer then that. where was all the different enemies and weapons? suck old and basic gameplay, it inovated nothing. if your going to make a next gen game atleast design some new weapons, characters, enemies and levels, absolutly nothing i wasn't expecting. Ill admit it did its job for the xbox360 gamers but it did nothing more.magrappy

you obviously have no idea what you are talking about...

and that horrible game got Game of the Year here. :?

wow! alot of jealous Gears of War haters here..

welcome to system wars i guess,  a place where you bash any game including GOTY's

:roll:

Ya know ive seen a lot of ur posts here, and if u keep it up ur gonna take KeyWii and PS3_FTW's places as one of the biggest fanboys on here...can u post one thing without all that bias...i would love for u to specifically describe to me how rachet and clank, a game that u havent played, looks better than gears...RC looks awesome, but how can u compare its art style to GeOW, this is exactly the type of person im talking about people, just say RC looks great, no1 who has eyes could disagree the screens look fantastic, but how is it better...or worse than gears?
