Back in '06 GeOW and R:FOM were released no more than a few weeks a part, sparking huge battles betweens fans. Come '08, the SAME exact thing happens. More battles commence. Do you think this will continue in 2011? It would be cool if Epic and Insomniac kept with tradition.

After getting my gaming PC I totally forgot about generic story, shooters like those. I mean besides GOW 3 and FF13, Versus, and Agito, AND The Last Guardian.

I won't be touching those.

I hope so! I just hope Epic improves the online multiplayer. They did fantastic work with the campaign. There were weird story points here and there, but it was a blast. Resistance 1 was better across the board for me than Resistance 2. Insomniac must redeem themselves.

Gears won't be around until next gen anyways. MS doesn't own Epic, they have no jurisdiction on Gears 3.

Japan would represent the bulk of close-mindedness, considering they don't conform to things imported from America and Europe.

the topic at hand is Gears vs. Resistance anyhow, I'm confusedto why Versus and the Last Guardian had to make an appearance, so let's stay on topic.

Gears of War 3 will be out on the 360, but I don't know if Microsoft will try to sell Gears of War 3 this year. Although Halo Reach in September and Gears of War 3 in November sounds like an epic 1-2 punch. It's essentially targeting a similar audience. They need a running mate for Halo Reach that isn't trying to aim for a similar audience for the holiday run. It needs to be able to attract a different audience. Not sure if Fable 3 is that title.

I dont see Gears of War 3 coming out this year at all to be honest. I think that would be too soon.

You know what my favorite part about the JRPG loving crowd is. They have this mystical theory that JRPGs aren't plagued with Cliches, Poor writing, horrible characters, and their own set of flaws related to narratives or the universes presented in JRPG games. And that's not even counting some gameplay trends that need some improvement. I understand the western crowd is pretty close minded on this forum in alot of cases, but being as close minded as them doesn't help your case child. Especially when similar flaws can be brought up.

I don't recall any such battle.

Gearsscores more, sold far more, is far more popular, looks far better, plays far better ... and is in general a much better game

Resistance is a generic Halo wannabe, far overrated too.

whoa whoa whoa whoa Best TPS? penalty flag. Max Payne still exists, and Uncharted 2 made a strong case this past holiday run. Gears of War better bring some more bark if it wants to be best TPS of all time. Especially when the MP is consistantly mehtastic.

How not? If a FPS comes out that shows no different qualities then a game before it, that would not be considered generic? Unless the use of the word generic is different with video games?

Jesus champ, I did say ARGUABLY didnt I? I agree the MP is mehtastic, but thats primarily from crap matchmaking IMO. Other than that, its definitely one of the greatest TPS's of all time.

Generic is something that is general, common, or inclusive rather than specific, unique, or selective. Take Uncharted 2 for example. Nothing it does is brand spankin new, all of it is plucked from many games. But It's not really generic, the way Uncharted 2 does business isn't common among videogames. Same rules apply to Gears of War, Halo(this games elements may have become generic overtime, but the series has actually spread influence to the console shooters).

They don't do anything new either. A narrative being generic is one thing, but an entire game being generic is a different set of rules than just not doing anything new. It has to be something excessively common and played out with no hook of its own. Or nothing to seperate from the crowd.

Now that I am playing Gears on my own and not splitscreen with friends, I realize just how much Gears and Resistance have in common. I would say they are the most closely-related 360 and PS3 exclusives, moreso than Halo vs Killzone or Mass vs Uncharted. The creatures you fight are very similar, the structure of the missions, the environments. Gears is slightly better as an overall series because R2 was disjointed and the story didn't hit the spot... but Resistance 2's MP was much stronger than Gears 2's, and Gears 2 didn't innovate much over the first, while R2, for better or worse, was a big overhaul. Very, very, good games, both of them. Don't let anyone tell you differently.

Nothing it does is brand spankin new, all of it is plucked from many games. But It's not really generic, the way Uncharted 2 does business isn't common among videogames. Same rules apply to Gears of War, Halo(this games elements may have become generic overtime, but the series has actually spread influence to the console shooters).

They don't do anything new either. A narrative being generic is one thing, but an entire game being generic is a different set of rules than just not doing anything new. It has to be something excessively common and played out with no hook of its own. Or nothing to seperate from the crowd.

Which is exactly how I used it. Gears of War did bring new stuff to the table, such as active reload, Chainsaw on a machine gun and many other little things that other games did not have at the time, like execution etc. Don't know much about Uncharted because I never played it.

[QUOTE="xscrapzx"][QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] that's not generic though. -Snooze-

How not? If a FPS comes out that shows no different qualities then a game before it, that would not be considered generic? Unless the use of the word generic is different with video games?

That's not what generic means ...

Generic = Common. General.

Even cliched

Ok so if I say a generic game to me means it brought nothing new to the table and its the same old stuff nothing different what so ever, I think that would fall under the word common or general, no?

Back in '06 GeOW and R:FOM were released no more than a few weeks a part, sparking huge battles betweens fans. Come '08, the SAME exact thing happens. More battles commence. Do you think this will continue in 2011? It would be cool if Epic and Insomniac kept with tradition.

Depends on the title. A game is more then the sum of its parts. Uncharted brings nothing new to the table, yet i wouldnt call it generic. There's nothing out like it.

Dragon Age is never considered generic, yet it's very similar to past bioware titles. the fact that they're not common, stops it from being generic

One is a FPS, the other a TPS.
One focuses on huge battles and large scale, the other on small and brutal battles.
One is on the PS3 the other on the Xbox 360... there is our problem...

I didnt realy like Gears so much for no particular reason. Resistance was preaty nice cuz it was like a blast from the past, with lots of weapons available at once and more PS2y graphics. It felt like playing MoH:AA for the first time :D

Resistance 2s COOP is a blast tho...

I've alway preferred Gear of war. Also why would we compare them, if one is a FPS, and the other is TPS?

Yes. Just like the war between Halo and Killzone.
