Resistance 2 make look technically better from what I've seen, though I haven't seen enough.

Gears 2 just looks more vivid though.

I havent seen a whole lot of R2, mind you. But from what I can recall, Gears seems to have better close up details while Resistance 2 seems to be better looking when you look at the big picture. Resistance is of a much larger scale.

And I think this make sense considering both game's different styles.

gears 2. 100's of people in crowds with brumaks roaming around, huge open vistas, and still manages to have much better graphics.

Resistance 2 graphically is in the same league as Turok, TimeShift, and BlackSite. Gears of War 2 is the console graphics king of 2008 by a land slide.

Do we have to nitpick both games. They arent even out yet. They are very different games too.

no joke, I can't believe people think R2 looks anywhere near gears when you watch that e3 video. There's nothing about r2's graphics that make me go "whoa"..it's all pretty standard for today's games. Gears on the other hand..:o

Both look the same to me. There are areas where Resistance outdoes Gears, and others where Gears outdoes Resistance.

Saying that Resistance 2 looks anywhere close to Gears 2 on a technical level is simply absurd.

Well in terms of technicall graphics Gears has alot more stuff.Example soft bodies,stunning new lightning system....etc..etc..But insomniac game made sure that everything in resistance i.e. the big ships,the big bosses and the massive landscapes are in REAL-time.

But still Gears of War 2 is simply just better,technically speaking ! Although i dont like their grey and muddy textures.

Any difference between the two exists purely from an artistic standpoint, or in the minds of fanboys. Both games posses an impressive mastery of the latest and greatest visual effects, from lighting to textures, both games are stunning.

the games also have two different styles. gears is all about being one with the environment, using cover. Therefore this cover must look very detailed, or gamers will cry foul. Resistance was always about the "big picture," and its zany weapons that totally negate terrain advantages (ex. the auger that shoots through walls and makes cover completely pointless). So, you see comparing them boils down to a matter of personal taste.

I have to say that both games look pretty damn good but as of now i give the edge to gears 2.Im more of a gears fan though so my comments might be a little bias.I loved the first resistance so ill definatly be buying both.To make a real decision ill have to see them first hand.

Gears of War 2 all the way. And those that say Gears of War looks the same need to look closer! There is more texture, color, detail then Gears 1!8)

I dont know. From an artistic sntandpoint, I find Gears' more pleasing. From a technical standpoint, i'm not sure, The draw distance in the San Francisco level is better than anything ive seen in Gears 2. While Gears 2's draw distance seems to have gotten worse from the first. Artisticall, I say Gears. Technically, i'm leaning towards Resistance.

They both look pretty good. I think I have different standards for how a FPS and TPS should look and play and they both look pretty good in their respective categories.

wow.

looking that picture the only noticable difference is the lesser draw distance.

it depends really, resistance will have larger more detailed environments, its what insomniac does, but gears may have better textures.

Its hard to say which will look best at the moment.

I don't know why this is even a contest. Gears 2 is the OBVIOUS winner against Resistance 2 graphically.

Gears 2 and Killzone 2 are more comparable with Killzone 2 perhaps edging Gears out.
