Not much to look forward to. Maybe Halo 3? I doubt it.

I think Halo 3, MGS4, and Metroid Prime 3 have a good shot at it.

Of course there will be. Gears of War 2 will likely surpass it's predecessor.

Graphically, probably not.  Atleast not consolewise.  Crysis will probably own it, though.

Many games will be better, look at the possibilities, MGS 4, FFXIII, Smash Bros, Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Halo 3, GTA 4, and many many more, including Gears of War 2. So yeah there will be better games, I just don't know wich console will have the most, im guessing the 360 or Wii.

This year I think Mass Effect, Halo, MGS, and Mario Galaxy all have a shot of being great.

Mass Effect, Metal Gear Solid 4. Spore. Crysis...

 

Gears of War is a lot of fun, but it feels like I'm inside levels the size of a cardboard box when compared to STALKER.

There already is, STALKER... If STALKER was on the UE3 engine and wasnt glitchy it would totally be better.

Yeah, Metal Gear Solid 3 was just another rehash too. The camouflage and performing emergency medical treatments to yourself didn't add to the gameplay at all.

I would hope so.

You would have to define "Better".  If you only go by GS review scores then probably not.  This was one of the first games that was truely "Next Gen" (I hate that term) and it was scored really high.  With GS's review system they didn't leave much room for a game to score any higher.  In essence they dictated that no game would be better this gen.  I guess that THPS3 was the best the PS2 could do according to the review system here.

My prediction is that there will be games that are much better than Gears but do not score as high ala THPS3.

Of course, developers will always try to make better games. I think Grand Theft Auto IV and Halo 3 has a good chance to be a better game than Gears of War.

Have to agree with that statement. Gears is a very good game, with great graphics, but could have been much better in my opinion, not to mention...LONGER. But people act as if it is the Holy Grail or something, and I find that ridiculous, personally. To each their own though, of course, lol. 

As far as any game beating it graphically this gen....:lol:. Of course, there will be quite a few. If you honestly think that Gears of War is going to have the most superior/advanced graphics of any console game this entire generation, you are about as blind and biased of a fanboy as it gets. I am sorry, but it's true, nonetheless, lol.

This generation is just barely even getting started, and we have not seen even half of the potential of what can be done before it's over. Believe me, when games like Lair, Heavenly Sword, Mass Effect, Killzone 2, Bioshock, Assassin's Creed, Elveon, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, MGS4, and FFXIII come out, Gears of War will look standard in comparison. And that is just a few examples, lol.

God only knows what kind or how many other future killer games that will be dropping from 2008 and onwards thereafter on both the PS3 and the 360 that will completely smoke Gears in every way. One can only imagine.

Oh please the only thing innovative about Gears of War is the Graphics, in which case UT3 has that and the amazing online/offline gameplay ^^, good chance.

god i hope so. great game as it is, if its the best devs can come up with this gen then this industry is truly in a sad state. MP3 stands a very good chance though. both 1 and 2 are brilliant games so hopefully 3 is brilliant (and with the extra dev time it really should be....hopefully with online multiplayer too). i would expect halo 3 to be more enjoyable too. theres also stuff from team ico which will probably be excellent. and of course theres GEOW2 which should be very very nice. o and mass effect.

I doubt Halo 3 will be better. However, Mass Effect and Bioshock will destroy Gears, IMO. Unreal Tournament 3, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, MGS4, Blue Dragon, Ninja Gaiden Sigma and 2, God of War 3, Heavenly Sword, Lair and Ratchet and Clank.... There are lots of games that have more than a chance at being better than Gears of War. All you really have to do is get a game with gameplay that is as good or better, perhaps make the textures a little more high-res, improve lighting or something, and increase the amount of levels and the size of environments, increase max number of online players and online modes, and add a better story, and you've got Gears beat to the punch in every way possible.

UT3 destroys this game. Fight Night 3 has higher res textures and better detail in every sense. Check the PS3 version. Mass Effect already looks better than Gears. Metal Gear Solid has FAR higher res textures in the character models, although environment textures are lacking. Uncharted destroys it in animation quality. So, yeah, it will be begging for mercy by the end of this gen. There are too many awesome games coming out. Crysis eats this game and any other for the next 5 years alive. Even C&C3 has better looking textures and lighting, and it's an RTS.

Yeah. Resistance has 30 levels. They're bigger, too. All they need is texture streaming and you have a game that eats it alive. Gears is so overrated it's not even funny. I'm sorry, it just is.

You really need to try other games then because there are already games that are better. Oblivion, Rainbow Six Vegas, Resistance, hell I think Battlefield 2 has better replay value then GeOW (not the single player but the online). As far as games to come thats not hard, there are plenty on every console that will be great and lets not even get in to PC games because Crysis will take a dump on GeOW. GeOW looks really nice graphics wise but really lacks in the game play area.

DVD-9 with only 7 usable gigs? The original Gears used 6 out of 7, so we can't expect many improvements. Maybe an extra level or two.

This said 7.95 gigs. I'll find a link that says 7 gigs are usable. If not, go ahead and doubt me. It was an old article.

I have no idea. Forget about it. Didn't find anything on a Google search. But go ahead and limit it to 8 gigs.
