It's been around 4 months since Gears of War released and it's still the best looking game hands down.
Pretty cool.

I'm addicted to Gears of War ... best looking game? maybe, but I think Halo 3 will also have graphics like or better than GoW (Gears of War that is, not God of War, both are great games, but since Gears is more popular, GoW belongs to Gears). gnutux

I have to agree with you, nothing has come out yet that trumps GeOW graphically.  There are games that have better gameplay though.

It could be trumped by Mass Effect or Heavenly sword.. It will be trumped by Crysis(which will be the first dx10 game?) I guess the reason Gears of War has held onto it's title for so long is because gaming is in it's dry months.. even though MLB 2k7 and Motorstorm do look amazing

It will be surpassed, games like Resident Evil 5 and Ninja gaiden 2 in 2008/9 will make Gears look dated, just like God of War 2 making most PS2 games look like garbage.

I honestly don't think Gears of War looks that great.  Everyone around here seems to think UE3 is the second coming, for some reason.

Not saying it looks better, but Gears isn't photorealsitic at all. Too plasticy, the art dosen't resemble real life. Were HL2 (espicially the updated version) looks very realistic, with the bloom etc.

Yes, Gears of War is still the best looking game detail/tech wise... Hell, Kameo still looks better in graphics/characters on screen than any PS3 game to date.

Not at all huh?  Sorry buddy...were you thinking those graphics wouldn't be surpassed by the PS3 before the mid part of this year?  Youre just wishful thinking...PS3 will have far surpassed those graphics by the end of the year--saying that HS will be one of them goes without question.

Impressive?  Compaired to Heavely Sword...Not Really!

I hear Motorstorm looks pretty crazy, from what I've seen much better than Kameo.

No, the game as a whole. It's a very sharp-looking game.

Not trying to knock any system or anything.... I agree that Gears is still the best looking game out riht now, without question. Still, to my eyes Motorstorm looks much better than Kameo. It's a pretty incredible looking game.

Well duh dude..... kind of obvious... ofcourse someone will outdo Gears in graphics eventually. What you think people believe Gears will be the best graphics forever and ever? lol It just raised the bar and set the standard until the next game comes along and does it like Half-Life2 did in my opinion when it came out. And now it's not the champ no more.

Crysis looks better...but Project Offset looks better than Crysis.

GeOW is still the best looking console game, and will be that way for awhile.  I think the textures and lighting in heavenly sword aren't that great, but everything else looks good.

Motorstorm's graphics are insane. I have the demo, and in my honest opinion, it met the target video:)

actually....

There's plenty more where that came from.  I didn't even try to pic a bad one...take your pic.  Are you now denying that's how Gears of war looks?  Or are you just made that I showed that Heavenly Sword a PS3 game has graphics that look better?

Have you tried playing that game?:? Because if you have, you'd know that the in-game graphics look much better than that:)

Dude, you can sit around at your computer and find poor looking shots of Motorstorm and that other dude above me ("Proof11212" or whatever the Hell is name is) can sit around and scrounge around for poor looking shots of Gears. I'm sure you two could also stalk Jessica Alba around and snap a few shots of her that are less than flattering and use them to try to convince enveryone that she "isn't very good looking."

But at the end of the day Alba will still be hot, Gears will still look friggin' amazing, and Motorstorm will still have extremely good graphics. Likely, the only two people you will fool will be yourselves.

Good luck, either way.

Then all the others games on the 360 must look like trash to you, if Gears doesnt even look great to you.

Yes. No game trumps HL2 yet in terms of a realistic engine. Especially EP1 and fakefactory mods installed. Gears is more artistic.

don't worry your not alone........ u know I think GT demo looks amazing and real but all I hear is that its just one car, one level, weak backgrounds, 2d backgrounds..(lol..which is not true)......

but either way what would Resistance look like if it didn't have 40 detailed characters on screen with special effects and great physics and instead had 10 (or what ever GeOW has) and scaled down the environments to match Gears........ which game would look better? Resistance or Gears......

some really believe that Gears only has a limited about of characters on screen because the Devs chose to for "tactical reasons".....no its because thats all they could fit and still sustain an adequate frame rate......they sacrificed alot to get this game looking like it does....but I guess thats all that matters is how it looks......

I will say that it does look good I was surprised that it looked good in split-screen as well.......but its not that amazing like some will try to get you to believe...

I agree with u but the thing is that as long as u can make stunning games with small environments it really doesnt matter.

Personally speaking, I think HS will looks better than Gears and it's coming out in June.
