[QUOTE="Nolan16"]looks just like gears 1 polished up and sharper im sorry nothing new it's on uncharted level of graphics, from my eyes i see killzone 2 the alot better looking game.BioShockOwnz

That's not true. I own Uncharted and this looks better. Just stop it.

Wow, seriously.

Who's the one lying.

Oh, I believed you owned both.

I just prefer the graphical ****of Uncharted better. I thought Uncharted looked better than GeoW1, and maybe even better than GeoW2. Gonna have to d/l it off marketplace tomm. to get a better impression, but it just seems to be a slightly enchanced Gears of War 1. Not bad, but nothing to blow my load all over my keyboard over like some people in this thread are. It's like they've never played/seen Gears of War 1

You're kidding, right? The Unreal Engine 3's main purpose is to mask low polygon count with complex shaders and normal mapping. Gears of War 2 is neither technically superior, or more visually appealing (my opinion).

It's a fact that GeoW2 is more technically impressive than Uncharted, no opinions.

Doesn't sound bad at all. The way you say "You're kidding right?" makes it sound having complex shaders and normal mapping to mask low polygons is a negative.

My take on the techincal graphical capablities and gameplay between killzone and GEOW 2

Textures Gears

Lighting not enough vid to tel

Animation killzone

Scope/drawdistance gears

gamplay gears

better overal gears but at such a slight degree luckly i will have my ps3 by 2009:D

So if game cant be more technically supperior just because it uses a different approach? Pulleese.

Are you stuck back in 2005 when gears was announced? It looked like plastic back then, but the final product looked nothing like plastic.

Yummm!

Also its not like the 360 has some big limitation on polygons. On any system its a tradeoff and Epic decided it was better to go more heavily with normal maping instead of high poly counts.

Its up on GT.com

So your saying those games were better technical achievements? Also Gears doesn't look plastic.

I can't wait.

Dude, come on. You're better than that. That's one of the most ignorant things I've heard you say. We can't judge that at all until we play it.

Edit: Also, it's friday night and I'm drunk! Bring it!

there are Playstation 2 games that are higher polygon count than gears of war. I don't prefer the Unreal Engine 3 because everything tends to look like plastic.AmyMizuno

Personal Foul. Excessive use of fanboyism. 15 Yard Penalty. Automatic 1st down :|

Mhm, I bet you can even count the polygons with your profound background in game developement:o

You are not welcome here. Please leave

I've gotten my feet wet with Xbox 360 dev kits-- we have around 20 on the Georgia Tech campus. I'm a Software Engineer, and am very interested in game development.AmyMizuno

Let me guess, your failing that course :P

PS3 has more floating point operations that can be used on physics and dot products, so it doesn't need to compensate what little general purpose performance it has. Also, the cell's SPE's are currently being used by developers to detect what polygons are out of vision and do not need to be drawn, saving the PS3 precious GPU clock cycles.

Interesting info, just goes to show all platforms have there pros and cons. Whatever the reason the game still looks amazing and I am glad epic decided to improve the aspects of the graphics that actually effect game-play and not what makes for prettier screenshots.

The ones who are blinded by the hype and fanboyism are getting owned by amymizuno... maybe s/he is a developer. S/he knows whats s/he's talkin about.

And by the way lol at the dude knowing uncharted technically because he owns the game. Its just like lou dobbs proving he's not a racist bec he's married to a hispanic. LOL

Face it guys, its well known Uncharted looked bettr than the original gears of war and GeOW 2 looks lie the same as the orginal. By that logic Uncharted looks better than GeoW2.

I see a sticky in line for these "Gears of War 2 trailers and gameplay" theres like ton of them on the front page already.

Looks good though in motion though.

Uncharted is an old and outdated game, technically.
