New Gears of War 2 screeshots ( no 56k )

here i took out time to highlight all the flat textures that lemmings loved to make fun of for MGS4....

[QUOTE="justforlotr2004"][QUOTE="stereointegrity"]

still looks like gears one..just brighter but hey it still looks amazing one way or another

stereointegrity

Same resolution pics please. Do I REALLY have to prove once again that Gears 2 has way more detail?

I already did, just scroll up. When I get the time I plan to do a breakdown between Gears 1 and 2 with what we got and then maybe a Killzone shot or two to spice things up. :P

I posted this in another thread.

The entire Brumak model is way more detailed than it was in Gears one. In the screens below you can see things like the chains are now 3D instead of painted on illusions. That shot is even the PC version which is supose to be even more sharp and better looking than the 360 version and Gears of war 2 totally destroys it.

A) Better picture Quality :|
B) They changed the Brumak model(a lot) :|x2

Yah over-all it looks better...considering it is the new UE3.5 engine but the improvements are barely noticeable.

[QUOTE="Zeliard9"]

Check out the images from Gamersyde. Their images are of a much higher quality than IGN's:

http://www.gamersyde.com/news_6465_en.html

It's a pretty substantial improvement over Gears 1, even the PC version, which I've been playing lately. The lighting model in Gears 2 is a lot more advanced, and it's very obvious to anybody who's played Gears 1 recently.

wow, looks great.. but the ign screens are the same quality... just open them in another window and click to enlarge

I don't really trust IGN for images, regardless. Their image compression is generally horrible, while it's the complete opposite for Gamersyde. You'll only find high-quality stuff there.

this game looks good.

Looks like the first game.dream431ca

Have you played it? It looks similar but there is definitely a large improvement.

What makes you think that?? PS3 already has games with tons of polygons on the screen. Even on launch games. Resistance had far more enemies onscreen than Gears and never has a hint of slowdown. Ratchet and Clank tons onscreen, same with Heavenly Sword. GT5 textures look flat?? These are cars we are talking about right??

[QUOTE="thrones"]...Always-Honest

Yes, I've done that now, I mean I thought it looked off the moment I saw them as I've already seen the trailer so many times. But my initial comment was aimed at the unenlarged pictures.

And yes GT5 has several textures that are not detailed as the cars are. The cars are the star of the show. The rest are passable. But for an example why are the windows on buildings 3-d in PGR4 but flat in GT5? Why is that? Does it matter at 120 mph? No. But it is there. and it is a truth that cows will face more and more. PS3 games will have better lighting, even some objects will display better because of the room in bluray disk. However the depth of detail that the 360 displays will never be on the PS3. It doesnt have the memory for the texture.

PC VERSION!

It's obvious GeoW 2 is better :P

That shot is even the PC version which is supose to be even more sharp and better looking than the 360 version and Gears of war 2 totally destroys it.

And now that we got a High res shot although a tad bit farther distance you can still see the detail Im talking about.

justforlotr2004

The main improvement in Gears 2 is the lighting and it looks a lot sharper than before (a lot like the PC version), those details you pointed out are also a nice addition. I wouldn't label it an improvement of colossal proportions though.

What's better than a Locust Drone?? You do know that UT3 is on PS3 right? And it's improved over Gears. And I can tell you haven't played GT5 so why debate it. I'll just let you know you are all kinds of wrong. Last you lost all credibility bringing up Madden. When in the history of gaming has that ever been considered a benchmark game??

I think you proved your point :) Looks good

Well it isn't Killzone to Killzone 2, but I do think it's about as big a graphical improvement as you can expect from a sequel released only 2 years later. After seeing the new UE3 tech demos, I expected Gears 2 to look great, but I was still surprised by how good it looks. And we haven't even seen the destructability and soft body physics in action yet.

This is actually much more of a graphical upgrade than you usually see in same-gen sequels, because most of those kinds of sequels don't completely change the lighting model like Gears 2 is doing.

Having said that, Gears 2 PC will be godly.

He's as deep as Marcus Fenix or any Gears character, quite frankly.thrones

Augustus Cole, Carmine or Even Dominique have way more character than Nathan Hale. I would compare Nathan Hale to "Charging locust #246."

Resistance, IMO doesn't have any memorable characters or else we would see people talking about it. Which we don't. You don't see those Nathan Hale vs. Master Cheif threads because his character sucks. Nothing memorable about him. Thats why insomniac decided to flesh out his character for Resistance 2.

Snake is too old, he will die before the first punch

Dante is on 360 now

and marcus doesnt beat up cute and cudly sesame street pals (Rachet, Sly, Daxter etc......)

......Mario and link on the other hand.......:twisted:

Kratos would destroy Marcus

In the end all I really care about the most is whether or not the game will be fun and from the looks of it Gears of War 2 looks like a hell of a lot of fun. So needless to say I'm excited about this game.

Yeah. I wonder if the ability to pick up bodies and use them as shields will extend to the multiplayer. That would be hilarious and great, gunning your friend down and picking up his dead (or dying?) body and using him as a shield. That's adding insult to injury right there.

I also hope the destructability is extensive, since UE3 is capable of it now. If they make it so cover can be destroyed, that would add a lot to the game, especially multiplayer.
