Well, I posted a thread here on System Wars on the day I got a PS3 (Which is about that) and 1 nice person gave me a spare beta code for SOCOM: Confrontation, I assume you can get beta keys via private messages.

MarloStanfield

I dont know anyone with a spare Resistance 2 beta key tho

I have an extra if you want it.

By the way, does anyone know when the beta ends?

Like hell it did. Your TV must absolutely blow, because even on my SDTV, Resistance 2 looks much better. Especially in the areas like chicago with the many lights and flashes, where the lightning can be shown off. 60 people playing at once, full world dynamic lighting, crisp texture work, and a framerate smooth as butter... Gears 1 has nothing on R2.

WOW this is a F***ing BETA. Remember the Halo3 beta...

But yes, Gears2 pictures seem to have better graphics than resistance2 pictures (as the wall of pics pointed out)

Lems usually forget that a game can look much better just months after a beta (Halo 3 prime example).

I don't think R2 will look better than Gears 2, but it will definitely look better than Halo 3 IMO.

I'm in the beta and I personally think it's a lot of fun. It does feel a lot like the first one, but better, which is to be expected of a sequel. Graphically it's good, but yes, Gears 2 is probably better. It's strange, some things look extremely well to me, others look bland and some things look out of place, but all of that I think can be attributed to the style of the game (artistically). Some people, I guess, will probably call it uninspired but I don't think that's exactly right. It's hard to describe. Anyways, the game it self is a lot of fun, and it really does have it's own feel, despite what some people may say, that separate it from Call of Duty and Halo. My only complaint thus far is that matchmaking is disabled for the beta, and sometimes it's really hard to get into a match by joining a server.

Ok guys, seriously, if you read my previous post history you will see that I luv resistance to death, but stop being idiotic. Gears2 looks leaps and bounds better than Resistance2. Gears2 has better character models, textures and so on. Now on the flip side, Resistance completely outclasses Gears2 when it comes to scale. Resistance 2's levels are gigantic, the action is frantic and fun, and seeing 59 other people all fighting in the same area as you and not suffering a single slow down is a sight to behold! Which tech is more advanced? I have no idea. Gears sacrifices scale for graphics, Resistance sacrifices graphics for scale, So i cant actually tell you which "tech" is more sophisticated or demanding (since i didnt develop either game), so thats up for debate. But what isnt up for debate is the fact that GEARS 2 LOOKS ALOT BETTER THAN RESISTANCE 2. Its not even an opinion, its fact!

matchmaking was working for me. :D you should try again, sumtimes it works, and sumtimes it just acts up :P But anyways, one of the graphical things that stood out for me the first time i played the beta was the water :D I luv the water!

Gears of War 2 will be better and plus it has a real co op mode and not some wanna be co op mode

ExtremeOne316

to bad R2 devs actually made the co op not go with the sp story. Unlike gears, R2's co op beats gears co op any day.

the graphics look acceptable to me. i don't care if they are ground breaking. i really don't. i could have fun with counter-strike or the original half-life. they are fun games. graphically dated, but they get the job done.

i agree graphics are not the only part of a game sure they are a great add on if they look good but if the game is fun (socom) graphics can take a back seat IMO.

R2 looks better than Gears 2 and has more stuff going on the screan. More enemies, large landscapes and I have not experienced a single frame drop. Gears 2 looks like trash and R2 is on beta right now.... it will look 2X better specially the SP.Hitman533

Like hell it did. Your TV must absolutely blow, because even on my SDTV, Resistance 2 looks much better. Especially in the areas like chicago with the many lights and flashes, where the lightning can be shown off. 60 people playing at once, full world dynamic lighting, crisp texture work, and a framerate smooth as butter... Gears 1 has nothing on R2.

Honestly, as much as I love the ps3, I played gears 2 today for about 5 hours... It is the best looking console game I've ever seen. The gameplay is the most polished fun you can have. The textures are incredible. The amount of variety in the levels is incredible.

Playing co-op with my buddy and we were just blown away. If this game (gears 2) does not score 9.5 or even a 10 I will lose alot of respect for video game reviewers in general. No game has matched the intensity of this game.

For those of you that want to label me a videogame pirate, it helps to know people in the industry...

People in the industry don't give out copies, because they're under NDA's that would get them fired for doing so.

Anyone who says that R2 looks better than Gears is blind and should be getting his eyes checked instead of posting here.

there you have it. the gameplay and a unique story + unique features + acceptable graphics = good, fun game. graphics don't have to be freakin awesome, as long as they are up to par with this gen standards.

Nice job picking up a glitched photo ALL games have problems. I'm not in R2 beta but my next door neighbor is i played enough to know it looks pleasing but when you actually play it not so much...Gears 1 isn't better but Gears 2 hell yes.

I'm in the bEta, but I must admit I'm not too impressed. I just wish PSN as a network was better. I'm sure the kinks online will be ironed out, but I do hope they improve the way partying up is also done too. I don't mean the random disconnects that happen on the beta, I mean the interface and interaction. Halo 3's party system by far is still the best system I think for any console. Resistance 2 leaves much to be desired, but I also wish they'd make things easier to label when you are trying to talk with other people to let them know where an enemy is at... that's a bit problematic in some of the levels I find. (He's by the car by the theater.... ugh... which on? or he's on the rooftop of... umm.. that tall building...)

R2 really isn't a wow type game, the multiplayer graphics at least. I can understand that, I hopet he SP looks better though. It's nice looking, but I don't think it wows me too much, if at all so far.

you cant blame the game for that, learn to be more descriptive. I do wish R2 had the same system as battlefield:BC where if you get sumone in your sights, a lil icon comes over their head as you hear your guy call it out over his radio and everyone in your vacinity can see the icon over the guys head. (Atleast the demo had that feature, dunno if the actualy game still has it...havent played it yet)

Both Gears have better graphics than Resistance 2, and considering Gears has one of the best graphics on consoles, so I don't see whats the problem.

Resistance 2 in my opinion isnt all that fun.The graphics look last gen and the gameplay is just average.Maybe the final version will be better but judging by the last few ps3 betas i was in i doubt it.Ive been dissapointed by all the betas ive played on the playstation 3.Resistance 2,mgs4 and little big planet were all let downs after i played the betas and i dont even wanna get started on the socom beta.Im just glad i never bought socom after all the problems the final version has.
