To all those Unreal Engine haters...

Dang, just look at the new Gears screens.UE3.5 is such an improvement. People complain UE games look like plastic, and to some extent they do, but Gears 2 changed all that. Man, metal looks like metal and flesh looks like..flesh (or meat :P). It no longer looks shiny, not at all, which leds us to a big, BIG improvement:

The new lighting engine. I CANT BELIEVE HOW MUCH IT IMPROVED. Gears 1 practically didnt even have lighting, either it was dark, or it was shiny. This one tho, looks marvelous. Just like a movie. I would honetly say it looks on par or better to that of KZ2's. More 'realistic'? maybe not, but thats not the approach they want, they were aiming for movie-like llighting, and daaaang they got it right!

Honestly, i cant believe people who say it doesnt look better than the first. Graphics king is a more subjective matter, so im not going into that (although it already looks like MY graphics king :D). I never really like a lot Gears 1's graphics. Yes, they were awesome, but i liked way more the artstyle. This my friends, is what i would call an improvement.

Good job Epic,wait scratch that, GREAT job.

I honestly don't see what's so good about those Gears 2 pics. The lighting is very fake, like the characters don't belong in the scene and the textures are low res and basically copy paste from any other UE3 engine game. Absolutely nothing to brag about.el_rika

You have no idea about what you just said, do you? Low-res textures? Gears 1 was considered KING for it's sharp and detailed textures. Fake...lightning? Out of place characters? Is that the best you could come up with? Copy paste from other UE3-engine games? :lol:

That wasnt even funny :S

Ok, so look at this screen:

...let's be honest here, there's nothing amazing about it. Just a bunch of average textures, low resolution bump mapping, rudimentary lightning with some bloom thrown in and zero anisotropic (texture AA). It looks good, it gets the job done, but nothing more.

Yet it looks better than %99.99 games on the market. Seriously, even though that is the worst screen of the new ones, it still looks awesome and console graphics king worthy. Besides, it's not like the whole game is gonna take place in that tiny hospital room..

I believe you mean poor textures with unreasonable ammounts of mapping.

You have to admit though, marcus' character model looks a lot better this time around.

PS2...Seriously? I think it looks amazing, and it has been stated the new build of the Lancer has more than 3 times the pelygons of that of the first game's Lancer...
I dare you to fin a better looking gun, both in a PS2 and PS3 game.. (although you will probably post a KZ gun :P)

Unreal engine produced Gears of War

UE3=WIN!!

lol im glad you said that last sentence in parenthesis because KZ2 has some of the best weapon models i have seen in any game.(yes even better then crysis, they should have stuck with their pre-alpha model of the SCAR thats all im gonna say)

I AM A SELF PROCLAIMED, Unreal Engine Hater.

I was at the Hilton last Week, arguing with the Hotel management staff about the Unreal Engine. When I got in the Taxi, I argued with him too, about the Unreal Engine, and how much it should be hated. Bussers, Waiters, Police Officers, Inmates, it doesn't end who I will argue with about that Awful and Hated, Unreal Engine.

I don't support McCain or Obama because, they support the Unreal Engine. I don't like this thread calling out my kind, the UNREAL ENGINE HATERS.

Ho please, it's just a tiny space and I can't even see wth he is shooting at lol. It's just something a little blurry grey thing. The engine is so limited that it blur anything.

Are you sure you don't need glasses? He is clearly shooting at some flammable barrels thing, there is absolutely no blur there...

well personally i never, ever had a problem distinguishing the characters, i could spot a theron guard and distinguish it from a theron elite from miles away with no trouble, really. But yeah, they may look similar, i cant tell because i played so much gears :P. But blur..Seriously, there is no blur there..

unreal 3 engine on non epic games look very similar except bioshock

gears 2 is an impovement but there are better engines out there

does anyone notice the models look scrachty

Unreal engine is not that bad

but yeah there are better ones. What's wrong with enjoying the games only? why are we arguing about engines.

I won't bash the Unreal 3 engine since one of the best looking games this gen to me (Bioshock) was released on it , It looks stunning. Though as someone mentioned before the lack of AA option in it hurts it, so one likely has to force it if you want it using something.

That s the worst Gears 2 screen you can find, and Ive seen alot worse killzone 2 screens. And honestly, thats half a screen shot, its not even the complete picture.

screen shots only say so much, go look at some recent high quality gears 2 videos and tell me what you think then.

i see only a few unreal 3 game that look good: gears, bioshock and mass effect, most of the unreal games look pretty average and have bad textures with loads of jaggies.

cryengine, cryengine 2, source and the stalker engine are all much better. Once of the main problems the unreal 3 engine has had is lack of physics. if farcry and hl2 in 2004 had pretty good physics why can't unreal 3 games?

lol you really think blind lemmings would ever listen to the facts ? I actually had one of my lemming frend over my house yesterday and i was playing Crysis on AF to show him what Anistropic actually means because he was the same guy claiming that Halo 3 was running on over 20x SUPER AF :D.And i was speechles :D.
