It says Unreal Engine 3 in Blacksite Area 51. So the graphics are going to be similar. I think the game looks good and fun.Wezker619

But just because it uses the unreal 3 engine that does not mean its gonna look just as good or better than GoW, it is all up to the designers to make and add all the detail to the environments, objects, and models.

Ya, textures specifically really determind how nice a game will look. This is debatalble, but its why I think the Source engine for Halflife 2 looks better than the Doom 3 engine used for Doom 3 and Quake 4. The latter might be more technically advanced, but it doesnt look as clean and real because the textures are not nice.

I'm not sure it looks better than Gears of War, but it does look pretty good.  The demo was fun, but way too short.

Character models are just about the only thing that is on par with Gears in this demo. The rain effects imo were not good.

Gears was a beautiful game, and it sort of set the high-end standard for next-gen console shooters.  But thats also the problem, especially concerning a game engine that is going to be as thoroughly licensed and distributed as the Unreal 3 Engine.  Gears just wont look as good as it does now in a month or two; developers are gonna take the U3E and put higher resolution textures in and other gimmicks.  So dont be suprised if Gears look pretty in a month or two instead of freaking gorgeous like it does now.

This gameput me in awe when i first saw the rain but once i started shutting i just wasnt feeling it. Ill probably get it for pc since it will be fairly cheaper and ill most liekly be able to pull out better grapichs. Also the controls will be a lot tighter. Better than gears, meh Gears was good but not mindblowingly good. But i would have to side with the people saying it wont be.

The demo didn't please me too much at all, the detail was good yes, but once your in a gun fight the framerate drops horribly. Gears of War will most likely stay as the best looking game until Bioshock or when Alan Wake gets released.Kev_Dawg

The Crysis Alpha build already looks better then Gears....

As of right now Gears looks better hands down imo. Blacksite has more then enough development time to get better though.

Top Gears?  I don't think it can...it can get darn close, but it's hard to think that Midway could top Epic since URE is Epic's baby and brain child.

The demo is dated so the polish isn't there, but the graphics were better than most.  Sadly, the framerate was terribly inconsistant, but again it's an early playable version of the game.  They've got a few more months to fix any issues like that.

[QUOTE="black_awpN1"]I downloaded the demo, and the graphics are awesome. The rain effects are sweet and the character models are on par with Gears. Could this game take the place of Gears being the best looking Console Game? Also, Mistwalker is starting to say Lost Odysey is starting to look better than Gears of War. UnKnownViper
No, the rain looks way better on Gears especially the way it falls down tree trunks and rocks etc. The characters have to many edges especially at the top of there head. The frame rate sucks, and you cant zoom in with a sniper rifle on textures and still have it be clear and prestine like on Gears of War.

 

ummm.... rain doesnt interact with anything in gears.... it doesnt even make ripples in water...Â
