Why can we not admit to ourselves that R2 and GEoW2 really don't look that great

Because they do. Why would I tell myself otherwise when I have no reason to?

Meh I don't know neither one has me real jazzed to be honest. I think the to sides are so desperate for bragging rights they are looking at these games with tainted eyes.

I think they look great, but they don't appeal to me much because they are "dull" looking.

Are you talking about graphically or on a fun factor?

I loved the first gears so I'll probably like the second gears, although Resistance I could live without, it's meh to me.

Just kind of overall. The graphic fidelity is very nice for both but nothing I don't expect from either system. The whole sequelitis thing seems to have gotten the best of both of these. The only thing in R2's favor is how bad the first one was so anything will feel like an improvement. The battle gears has is the first was so well liked I know they will not stray far from the tried and true meaning more of the same at the end of the day.

If these two games arent something for gamers to get excited for, then what is? Seriously?

I honestly find my thoughts sometimes drifting to the next gen already. I am not sure I can get overly excited about another game using UNREAL ENGINE 3..........

I can understand that... but I'm loving most of the titles out right now, and cant wait to get my hands on both of these games.

I think both look good, sometimes they overdo the colors though. For example, San Fransico in the beta is way too orange.

Again I am just stating opinion I don't want anyone to get upset about it. I would never try to talk anyone out buying a game they really wanted to play. I would congrtaulate you for not being swayed by others in a forum or in real life. I have enjoyed many a game others did not and I have enjoyed games everyone loves (cough) Guitar Hero franchise (cough)

Gears of War 2 looks awesome.

RE2 look. visually looks great, but not so much gameplay...but i will have to play it, due to the fact that some gameplay changes have taken place for the better.

TC, your either blind or biased...what is it, PC or WII?

PS3 and XBOX 360 is what I have. I have an Imac as my computer so as far as me being biased that theory will not hold up.

I agree 100% TC. Between the Gears 2 videos and playing the R2 beta I dont think I will be buying either game. They both seem like expansions more then sequels, both gameplay and graphics wise.

I guess I'm also getting burnt on every damn game being a shooter. At least Dead Space and MGS4 offered up a break from the usual gun show this year, but I'm really waiting for more RPGs and adventure titles. Fallout 3 is the only other game I'm looking forward to this year and even it has shooter elements. I need FFXIII, a new Zelda and a new Team Ico game now damn it!

after playing R2 beta i must admit that it isnt what I was expecting,coop is fun but MP is too crowded, 16 player MP would have been MUCH better. but Gears 2 is like Gears 1 with alot of improvements, now gears 1 was one of the best game this gen......so gears 2 will be even better and be the greatest game this gen :D

here's my ten cents

Gears 2 has great graphics but looks even dumber than the first game and a third person shooter is not impressive any more.

Resistance 2 has inconsistent graphics and the gameplay looks exaclty the same as the rubbish original, but they're putting a lot of effort into the different modes

TC,

i think the time has come for u to sell your consoles and give up gaming for good.u need to retire , hang up your controllers
