someone, please expain to me how this is considered "the best graphics on the 360", looks pretty horrible to me, and btw its NOT a bullshot closeup, this is an actual part of the game, towards the beggining i believe its around the part where you enter the abandoned facility and in the basement where those creatures wake up from behind the glass chambers.

Good job on finding the worst pic you could dig up, and then making a thread about it.

Gears of War 2 does look pretty good in general. But if you sit there and stare at a screenshot of most games you're bound to see some uglies.

I would suggest playing a game before judging its graphics, pics are more often than not a terrible way to do it.

Are you judging Gears 2 by that screenshot alone?? Have you even played it before? Cause if you have you would know that it looks nothing like that. It really is a fantastic looking game.

And that pic is actually from Act 1 in the hospital ;)

KlepticGrooves
Not to mention, a shot from a perspective that is really never played from in normal play. What is the purpose of standing as close to Dom as possible while playing? Not that there is anything wrong with that, TC..............

Aye, he is. That's a Gears 1 shot next to a Gears 2 shot. They remade that map for multiplayer.

That's the thing with graphics that are really only technically good for their time as opposed to being artistically good regardless of their time.

The game looked crap the day it was made imo but some people apparently think graphics technology is what makes something look nice.

Ah I forgot about FF XIII. I've got to Chapter 11 in FF XIII (PS3) and while it is a great looking game I don't think it's the best. It might be better looking then Killzone 2 and GEOW 2 but not in the top 3.

It does NOW, but the pic that TC posted was from the PC version on lower settings. This was debunked on NeoGaf forums a while back (ill try to find the thread) when the same person posted a part in the game for comparison that was only in the PC version, and pics of the battle with the brumak........which is also in the PC version.

Yah that pic does look like the low settings on PC.

The Xbox 360 version of Gears 1 is around the medium settings of the PC game.

The PC version did have extra missions and special maps too.

Mass Effect 2 has this problem; the facial models look fantastic and the textures of the armour on their necks/shoulders look ass. You hardly see the characters up this close in Gears of War so it's even less of a problem. Damn nitpicking nonsense.
