Official Gears of War 2 hype thread

Even crysis uses these same techniques so I dont see what your trying to prove. Models are always pretty 2 dementional untill you add in these techniques.

Indeed, her wall demo should have gone without being said. Theres never anything special about a flat serface since you only need 3 points to create one.

Perhaps I was exaggerating a little above about the PS2 games having more polygons than gears, but my point still remains true about Gears using low-resolution meshes when outputting the image.AmyMizuno

Most games do, otherwise they wouldnt be able to make a very good looking game that runs well. In this day and age its up to the Shaders and Lighting to do most of the visual work. Yes that means even Killzone 2 does it also.

Look at the Clothes closely and you can see that its all texture work, only a few things like the face actually needs high polygons due to all the curves and crevices.

And maybe you need to take off the fanboy goggles :D.

Okay fair enough.

GOTY 2008 CONFIRMED RIGHT HERE PEOPLE SAYING OTHERWISE ARE FANBOYS.liberty71441

Anyone saying that based on one video is also a Fanboy. The video is great and all, but not enough for you to even come close to being able to tell if its GOTY material.

Wait what were you saying Hayato? What? Speak up. I can't here you. ^^^Oh that's why^^^

Polgons aren't everything :| have you looked at the polygons in a Pixar movie as of late ? Its called Turbosmooth and AA.

Okay fair enough.

But the difference is there is only two characters on screen at a time in Virtual Fighter 4 which is not the case in Gears of War. In Gears of War if I'm shooting at two different enemies thats already exceeding the polygon count of Virtua Fighter 4's two characters. Factor in Teamates like Cole Train, Bared, Dom and there is usually much more then two enemies and well yeah.

Virtua Fighter 4, Naomi 2, 2001
Jacky - 14,000 polygons

Virtua Fighter 4, PS2, 2002
Jacky - 7,000 polygons

Gears of War, Xbox 360, 2006
Wretch - 10,000 polygons with diffuse, specular and normal maps
Boomer - 11,000 polygons with diffuse, specular and normal maps
Marcus - 15,000 polygons with diffuse, specular and normal maps

I was just referencing you for Hayato's previous remark. The one in which he deleted rather quickly lol.

Plus what Blackbond said you also have to take in the consideration of the scale of the enviroment compared to a fighter game.

If Jeff Gerstmann were still here, 10.0 GOTY 2008. Other wise, most likely just another run-of-the-mill 9.5 handed out by Gamespot like its free candy Wednesday.foxhound_fox

That was.........diffrent

What gears Hype thread is complete without...

GEARS OF DEW!!!!!

[QUOTE="ReverseCycology"]

With the previous way of GS scoring, the first Gears is 9.6, so if the scoring was the same Gears 2 would be 9.8

xTHExJUICEx

I really wish they kept the old rating system it would have been sweet to see MGS4 with a 9.9, oh well 9.5 is fair enough.

Yeah I agree.

I just watched the Gears 2 gameplay for the first time and it looks incredible much better than Gears 1.

It looked better than anything I have seen from Killzone 2 but the most important fact is that just watching the gameplay I was excited to play it. I just wanted to get into the action right there. Killzone had no such effect even though it looked great the gameplay was meh.

50cent 2 will own this game so baddddd yo! superjim42

No. That won't happen.

[QUOTE="superjim42"]50cent 2 will own this game so baddddd yo! Fondness
