Gears of War is pretty much a graphical showcase plus the quality of which it is posted  made it meh.

Alan Wake would probably disagree. And Crysis look better.

That doesn't look very good. Crysis is the pinnacle of graphics for years to come. No console that is out on the market is capable of producing a true Dx10 experience with Crysis.

Also, Alan Wake and Mass Effect looks better in graphics and gameplay.

I still don't think one console released, or even shown, has surpassed Gears of War.

There is no game out right now, or in the near future that looks as good as this.

 Who cares? What matters is how it plays; lets get that straight.

I think the new definition of "t3h kiddie!" should be something along the lines of "people who buy games simply to admire the graphics rather than the gameplay which makes it a game in the first place"

So threads like this should be labeled as such.

I agree, the gameplay in lair we've so far is pretty mediocre. But this threa isn't about that, its about giving credit to technical achievements where its due.

Gears is overall more impressive to me, the only thing that stood out to me in the new Lair trailer was the water effects and textures on the dragons and monsters (they were spectacular) but other than that kinda bland especially the soldiers on the ground... AND GOOD GOD THE GROUND ITSELF LOOKED UGLY!!!!

Then all that has to be done is say Factor 5. All their games have been great technical achievements from the 64 days, and the Gamecube, and now the PS3...

 

Factor5 knows how to squeeze more that what's there... but look for the best the console can absolutely output in their second or third game...

 

To put things in perspective, take the difference between Rogue Squadron II and III. Not only did III look and run much better, it included the entire RSII to play in Coop, still keeping the full quality of the single player game...

 

And that was the Gamecube, and I still say that game still holds a candle to the first generation of this (the former "next gen") generation of game graphics...

 

 

You haven't seen anything yet... Just wait...  Oh, there is one thing though... All of Factor 5's games aren't necessarially great...

Single tree in Crysis > Lair

As far as consoles go, that Alpha footage of Lair was downright ugly as much as I saw. I truly believe it is Alpha because that vid was horrible. Gears has Lair beet thus far.

He said console game in the topic quit talking about Crysis....... we all know it's the best looking game period. But after watching the developer interviews in HD I totally agree about it being the best looking console game. The level of detail for the sheer size of the map is just staggering. Gears is obviously better on the individual level but Lair has looks good and has vast areas with cities and oceans and mountains with thousands on soldiers and dragons and ships fighting. You can't directly compare Lair and Gears, but Lair is definately superior overall from a technical standpoint.

I must admit, LAir is one great look game. With gameplay to match, but i challenge your statement with three games, Crysis, Metal Gear Solid 4, and Alan WAke.

thats because u learned from MS that graphics are all about textures and got nothing to do with animation, physics, geometry, etc....

You would need at least four x360's working in sli mode to pull off the calculations that are happaning in Lair during gameplay.

Funny thing is Lair looks 10x better than halo 3's alpha stage, which looks like a wii game .

Really? I'm pretty sure that my PC could run a more graphically advanced game than Lair and I doubt it's as powerful as 4 xbox360's.

Well first I used that video/gif to say how bad the fire effects looked. Then I looked for a picture to see how the fire effects were and I found that. So if you can find me a pic/video of the fire effects not looking like crap then please do so. I used that picture just because it was the first/most obvious picture with fire in it.

Geese, way to nitpick. You know you're actually playing from the perspective of behind the dragon so you're never going to be zoomed in like that. Why don't you look at the detail on the foot soldiers, in some battles there are tens of thousands of them all at the same time being rendered. That's amazing on its own, but oh wait the fire effects are sub-par when blown up, so obviously the game is fugly...:roll:
