According to the Unreal Engine Wiki, Gears 2 will be using UE3.5, and Gears 3 will be using UE4. So if I had to guess, there will be a modest jump from 1 to 2, and a bigger jump from 2 to 3.

I hope that there will be spend more developing time in the single player campaign and I hope for more information about those locusts and why there is a war going on.Sensui1986

It's by Epic, your hopes on depth are too high...

Indeed. In Unreal 1, aside from the occasional journal, I was left filling in the blanks myself. Which is cool too I guess. People have different tastes, and would like to have envisioned themselves being locked on board a prison ship for different reasons.

FEAR looks better in motion. In reality, both have their advantages. Such as Gears with better geometry and char models, while FEAR with better shadows and effects, for example.

[QUOTE="kuza_9999"][QUOTE="primetime2121"][QUOTE="dgsag"][QUOTE="mmogoon"][QUOTE="dgsag"][QUOTE="lawsonboy"]Cows can be mad. Hermits can be jealous, and as for sheep, they just don't know what they are missing or they must not like their games to have good graphics, but Gears of War was and still is the best looking video game on the market.

Level of detail for the environments is unparalleled. The background detail and draw distance is the best. The skin textures on the character models is the best.

Will Gears of War 2 be much improved or same old graphics with new levels and same gameplay? Personally, I expect it to be again the best looking game on the market.

Ground textures are actually pretty crappy, theres a whole lot of pop-in too. You guys might have the shiniest graphics, but Hermits really don't care, as there are almost no image quality enhancements in the engine.

You played the game?

I did.

These are better ground textures:



you are joking right...that pic looks like crap

that's mighty distorted, but i hav seen oblivion graphics that look a lot better detail wise

I guess it's just a matter of opinion, but I have Oblivion on the 360 and PC, and Gears looks better...

I second that, and this is from a guy that really loves Oblivion and also bought both copies..

Gears ending sucked big time. So there is no reason to continue the journey like in Halo... Where the story is great and you want more.

They better add new guns, enemies, AI (Dom is a noob), a stronger story and pumped up graphics.

Then I'm sold.

Epic got their pay day. Now it's time to see what they do with that money.

Halo's single player was boring as hell. The endings in both halo's made me never play single player again in halo.

Man, I love Halo's single player. I've had it for over 5 years, and I still play it on a regular basis. In fact, I played it yesterday...

It rivaled Half Life's single-player experience. I was very dissapointed with how rushed Halo 2's campaign was, though.

lol your funny, those are with mods! lol, now compare gears to the real screen shots

Why, its obvious the PC is more powerful and capable and has better looking games.. Is it really that hard to download a file which dramatically improves the game? I'll give you another example of a mod on a relatively older game (at least older than Gears)



Can Gears do that? 8)

Kind of an unfair comparison dont u think?

Fair Comperison to me

Nothing is known for sure but I'm willing to bet Gears of War 2 will be "overated" "repetitive" and "boring" no matter how many GOTY awards and AAA scores it gets. I know, it's crazy talk but you can trust me.DaysAirlines

that doesnt make sense at all

i hope gears 2 has better graphics; but how much better can they get? even if the graphics stayed the same or similar the game play is just as, if not more important than the graphics. i am excited to see what the graphics will look like but am just as excited to see what new features, muliplayer, and story line gears 2 brings to the table. :)

I didn't really like Half Life all that much, but I agree with you about Halo 2. But in an interview with Gamespot recently, Bungie said that they know that they messed up with Halo 2. They said that they rushed it, and that the game suffered as a result. They also said that they just cannot bring themselves to play Halo 2's multiplayer, and I agree. Halo 1's multiplayer was more precision based, and the level design was extremely better. They are saying that Halo 3 will be different though. And since they noticed and admit their mistakes with Halo 2, I believe them...

You could say that about any trilogy, the middle one always leaves you hanging because there is one last part to play. I hate how people look past that, just cause they got left hanging. It was done for a reason, because Halo 3 has to exist.

first off, the draw distance is not that great. it's actually average. second, even though the environments are very detailed, barely anything can be destroyed except chairs and stuff. if you have glitched out of all the maps like i have, you would know that some of the textures in gears is much worse than that of even n64 games. the textures on the environments are not the best in the world. skin textures are the best i've seen though. anyways fogg, fire effects: RE4>Gears textures: PD0>Gears draw distance: windwaker>Gears i think Gears wins in environment detail thought even though the world is kind of small. for character models, gears is where it's at.
