Sorry but don't see the graphics king in GeOW2

Ok, Im on my 3rd playthrough in GeOW2 and just now decided to bring this up, Im just going to say it. This game looks ugly, im not making fun or anything, everything just looks smudged together but either way the game is still one of best lookers out there. Im sorry but also the cutscenes are not as pretty and sharp as MGS4's either. I might get badly flamed for this but I just don't see the huge improvement in graphics.

Anyone else that is not a bias fanboy understand what I am trying to say?

Why did you bring Metal Gear Solid 4 into it? And Gears of War is still one of the best looking console games, and Gear of War 2 looks better, so how can it be ugly?

I bring MGS4 into this because that's all you lemmings talk about. And no GeOW2 is not the new graphics king. A few more colors won't do anything but make it more appealing to the eye, same thing goes for Resistance.

You're already in your 3rd playthrough of Gears 2? Jeez. Anyways, I'm glad you can speak your opinion, even though I completely disagree with it.

Btw, did you really need to do this again?

It's not...and its online is severely lacking. RFOM2 has 60 player online while gears has only a pathetic 10 players.PvtGump8

Wow have thousands of players while rfom2 has only pathetic 60 players :roll:

Yes, because a Gears-type game would work with 60 players.... :roll:

Oh come on! You can't call Gears 2 ugly. You might disagree with it being the console graphics king but you can't call it ugly. You're just trying to bash, you know it, I know it and so does everyone else:lol:

well i disagree gears sure is pretty but i think we all know what the graphics king will be come 2009 ill give you a hint it ends with a 2.njean777

When it comes than we will see,until than ,graphic king = game that looks best @ this verry moment we are speaking

well if you really are already on your 3rd time through already first go out side and talk to some one there is life out there, and second if you have played Gears 2 for so long over the last 3 days now go back and try playing the first one through again and then tell me the difference.

What is this outside world you guys speak of? I heard it has the best graphics and physics out there and no respawns, can anyone confirm this with a link?

First two stages in the begining is kind of ok, but it gets better afterall.

basically, the more u playe the better u see.

Nah, it's just vaporware

Its all opinion. A great deal of games just have different art direction. If the guys at Epic wanted the game look realistic im sure they had the power to do so. MGS4 had great graphics, Gears has the best Landscape graphics. Running Underground looking around at the Queens castle (if thats what it was called) wowed me a bit. MGS4s characters looked scary GREAT. Uncharted...I loved that too. Graphics king...hmmm. Thats too dificult to call. IIJuggaNottII

Epic really dropped the ball in the graphics department. The pop-in is sooo bad and the textures look atrocious most of the time, especially on parts of the environment.EVOLV3

Since when do you own a 360? Gamertag?

Pop-ins and glitches are a major negatives to the graphics department. But the gameplay is really where it's at.

Your the second person to say that. One guy stated "attempting to make sense will offend a great deal of people in these threads". SMH...some of the threads are kinda crazy though. How can you compair GREAT vs. GREAT. I'll admit gears Characters look odd compaired to MGS4. Then there will be a guy who's not into fantasy at all and he will totally LOVE Uncharted because those are the most "true to life" like graphics. They all look great to me.

Well that's just it. You get 2 beutiful games on seperate platforms and people on SW will argue to the nth degree over which one is better in every little detail. The overall reality is that they both can be stunning games in their own art **** However, if everyone did that, there would be no system wars lol

It's fun listening to fanboys on every side resorting to more and more ludicrous statements to prove their chosen game/system is the best. But I guess I must be even worse as I find it entertaining engaging with them. I really should get a life lol.

lol cows still crying

cows face it and stop crying gears 2 is the graphics king

but but uncharted is the graphic king :(

is it just me or does gears 2 have alot of missing graphical effects the first one had like, the first one it was like the pixels were shinier or something, idk i cant explain it but it seems like geow 2 looks more, hmm idk glossed over or somethingVendettaRed07

IDK...it might just be you. The parts where you run thru a hall and you can even see the dust in the air. Or parts where the posts that are lit up pops flame onto the ground....C'mon. I thought that the graphics of Gears 2 had more of a "sheen/gloss" on the characters. I believe its a big upgrade from Gears 1 to 2. I didnt believe that they would be.After playing MGS4...I was really interested in how good Gears 2 was going to look. I have my opinion on whos the Better....but I'll never tell.

This game looks ugly

either way the game is still one of best lookers out there.

Anyone else that is not a bias fanboy understand what I am trying to say?

Blazerdt47

No.

i really don't understand these graphics threads ... just like how cliffy b doesn't understand mirror's edge. ... did i just insult myself. Ew.eklineage

Its kinda like the Greatest Dynasty in History arguement.....How in the Heck can you Compair the '00 Pats Dynasty vs. The 90's Bulls...or the Yankees? Makes no sense.

When I first read the thread title, I thought the TC would surely compare GeOW2 to uncharted and post up some screenshot comparisons. But no, I read a opinonated rant about GeOW2 vs MGS4, two games that doesnt even come close to being comparible in the graphics department since they each go for their individual styles (can you even compare realism vs fantasy rendering?)

I keep reading and pauses at the parts where he mentions that Gears 2 looks ugly...but its still one of the best looking games out there... pretty contridictory things to say and where he ask for non fan-boyism comments to back him up is the biggest contridiction of all. Everyone of his seemingly self paradoxical remarks really symbolizes that contridictory remark at the end, hes really just a fanboy masking under the pretense of seeking non fanboyism support.

If you claimed that you have played through the original gears and gears 2 and still say that theres no improvement.. you're probably the biggest sony fanboy out there. You're also probably blind too for not noticing all the intricate and obvious additions Gears 2 added.

+Obvious color palate revamp

+Light vs dark focused levels shows off improved dynamic lighting, which is also omnipresent in all levels

+Heightened 3d perspective, Character models stand apart from the environment, distance Landscape stand apart from closer landscape due to improved shadowing

+Obviously bigger environment, obviously diversified environments

+smaller intricacies such as gun nozzle turning red, bleed still squirting from dismembered limbs, improved bullet and decal effects, etc.

If you're still complaining that Gears 2 didnt improve, you probably didnt like gears graphics in the first place, because the basic fantasy-ism anime style of Gears sure didnt change.

Bottom line, this entire post probably just says the following sentence: I didnt like gears graphics in the first place and i obviously like MGS4 graphics better. Readers should see the indicament of what Im saying by me stating the obviously blindness to Gears 2 improvements which in the end only points to me not liking Gears in the first place.

People that are saying that geow2 is the best looking game have never played it and judging the game's graphics by those touched up screens that cliff made with 16xAA does not count people.

MGS4 destroys Geow2 in the overall graphics department, end of story...

it's us gamers that don't really give a damn. Fanboys will get themselves worked up over this, squint to see the textures and start cheering like mad when they see a slight blur. Pathetic if you ask em.

Right. The part that puzzled me and overall made me laugh was how it started. Sorta like " Well Im on my 3rd playthrough". .lol. I thought MGS4 was a great game, but I only could bring myself to play it ONCE. I guess I takes multiple playthroughs to judge graphics now.
