Let's wait and see if the 360 can handle that kind of tech. This was a tech demo showing the Unreal 3 engine on a PC. There is a big difference there...

After seeing Alake Wake in action theres nothing there in that vidoe i see, that cant be done on the 360.

Great to see and hear anything Gears related (if its real), Gears 2 is still the best heart pumping and enjoyable ride i have had with any video game to date.

Doesn't really show much, i'd love to see a narrated playthrough of a map showing the new features off though. And except for the Brumak, that is obviously there only because it's the closest thing Epic has to a mascot, i really don't see how any of this relates to Gears 3 :P

Anything Epic do with UE3 updates always relates to Gears, its there flagship UE3 title :)

No matter how good the graphics, if they can't recapture the same feeling of the first game's MP this is a total failure. Just as much as the sequel was a failure in my eyes.

I thought CliffyB said we weren't getting a Gears of War 3 till the next consoles?

Also yeah MP in 2 was a joke due to host advantage

As long as i get another brilliant SP i'm sold, and i have no doubt that with all the flak from GOW2 MP that GOW3 MP will be much improved.

what has alan wake to do with the limit of graphics power of the 360...

the engine of alan wake is more than 5 years old...and there are many games that look much better than alan wake...for example Halo Reach, Splinter Cell Conviction or Metro 2033

I dont think you understand what i'm saying, IMO the Alan Wake footage is better that this tech demo, so i have no doubt the 360 can pull off much better graphics.

A few previews have just been blown away by how good the game looks.

and there are many games that look much better than alan wake...for example Halo Reach, Splinter Cell Conviction or Metro 2033

Matter of opinion. AW looks to have a ton more atmosphere that both Halo and SC. The lighting looks pretty nuts in it as well.

I dunno, I thought Gears of War 2 was a million times better than its predecessor - primarily down to the awesome singleplayer campaign and Horde.

Yeah, Gears 2 was the best example of a sequel done right since Half Life 2, I reckon. Not for the same reasons though, mind.

The title of this post is pretty misleading though, I think I'll use my magical mod powers.

Hopefully this means Gears will finally have real-time lighting and shadows.

Posted by dohr07

Those games don't even have the same scale that Alan Wake has, and Halo Reach's lighting and shadowing isn't anywhere near as advanced as Alan Wake's. Metro 2033 looks great, but it's a linear shooter confined to small spaces. btw, an engine that was started 5 years ago doesn't mean it's 5 years old and is dated technology. Just look at the latest UE3 advancements in this thread and you'll realize how your comment is pretty asinine.

Splinter Cell Conviction looks better than Alan Wake? I needed a good laugh, I really did.

Now in regards to Halo Reach, Alan Wake doesn't come off looking any less impressive than when it was compared to Conviction, however, Halo Reach does look mighty impressive in it's own right and surely seems set to be a major technical showpiece for the console in more ways than one. It's a game that, when complete, will garner much respect, I think.

The jungle sections in Mass Effect 2 already looked decent (at least in the maxed out PC version, don't know about 360), but it's always a new welcome, especially since these screens look better than ME2 stuff.

Not impressed at all by that,and yes Alan Wake looks way better that that IMO,the pure lighting system they have puts to shame everything out there including this advanced U3 tech demo.

I dunno. If they can have the foliage react to characters and gunfire while being as dense as this in a Gears game, then I think it's pretty sweet.

I'm not counting on that though.

Looks very nice but I was expecting something more impressive,in this time of Uncharteds,GoW3,Crysis,AW that doesnt look to hot to me.

Hmm... with the exception of Crysis, it looks easily as impressive to me as any of the other games you listed. I suppose being so late to the party and not necessarily being representative of gameplay do take away from it though.

Good God, If I have to hear about Uncharted 2 one more time... Seriously, U2 does look great, but the foliage interaction is laughable( but at least it HAS foliage interaction). Anyone can put "foliage" in a game. What makes it impressive is if it interacts/ animates well( think Crysis). I think that is what they are talking about with this footage. Otherwise it's nothing more than spending your resources on Alphas and tree-shaped poly configurations...
