wtf is wrong with you people, last time i checked there is more than graphics to a game... the engine has destructable environments now walls etc, the f*cking enemys can be numbered in the 100's on screen at once instead of the 4-5 as before...

how in gods name is that a "lack of improvement"

Posted by vspectra06
after 2 years when they could optimize the engine to perform better on the 360. People at least expect it to look as nice as the doctored screens, but it doesn't. Like I said before, maybe it's a different case when we actually play it.
optimizing entails framerate, from what i recall Gears1 didnt really have framerate issues when i play, and also gears 2 is said to have even bumped that up further.

What f*cking game looks as good as the doctored screens... let me guess MGS4? ya whatever, atleast in gears when you run past an enemy he moves to counter and follow you attacking, in MGS you can run circles around the AI... and its completely generic except for the great cinematics, but i bought a GAME not a MOVIE...

bioshock was great, but bioshock didnt have 100+ enemys capable of being on screen at once either.

Releax people, maybe the mp was not as much improved graphical as th sp.

The two sp shots can't be real for sure, but what if maybe the only thing they added is the AA, then this is still going to look insane.
i dunno if the engine has evolved since gear 1, but im 99% sure the UE3 engine cant actually do AA.

Optimizing an engine doesn't only refer to framerate, it can also mean they should be able to pull off other stuff, such as less muddy textures, better AF.

Hmm, have to admit all AA games that are exclusive will get the fanboyism treatmant nowdays...
Anyhow, looks good, will play good, for those who like the series, must buy.
Heck im playing gears again... on PC this time.
I will say, besides Crysis, which is in a league of its own, this game can hold its ground vs anything.

he doesnt really. the first footage of gears 2 showed vast armies of locust on the ground, yet not a single one of them was shootable. they where false enemies, a background, and cliffy B has already said thats how its going to be throughout the game. they're just going to be background noise. to make the battle "seem" more epic, when in fact, there is still only 4-5 enemies with AI on screen at any one time.

as for the destruction...its not exactly full dynamic destruction is it. its not even at the level of bad company, and that managed to look better then this. the game look good, dont get me wrong. but it doesnt look amazing.

In my opinion, this will be the best looking game this year from what i've seen so far (Crysis doesn't count as this year does it?).

Yes, i've seen and played MGS4.

i have absoultely no honest explenation for the this looking no better than gears 1 comment..seriously, how can anyone look at the gears 1 pics, and then gears 2 pics and not see the improvement in texture detail, lighting, and overall density. Gears 2 looks much better than gear1, and the footage also shows it, plus smaller details like the trees moving in the wind...i think ill just ignore these comments completely...

Its amazing how much heat GOW2 gets when anything is released, some people must really fear it, its the only explanation i can come up with for some of the blatant trolling comments in this thread. Just let the mods deal with the idiots in this thread, whilst the rest of us give constructive criticism and/or praise were its due.

Sorry Korndog have to correct you there, as cliff has mentioned many times that you will be able to mow down hoards of locust, with a certain super weapon not yet revealed, when i get home i will try and find the interview were he said it.

Seriously just watch the new 1up video, GoW2 is at least as big improvement over GoW1 as Resistance 2 is over Resistance 1 and I don't see you complaining in the other news thread.

Euhh, acusing DC of trolling is laughable, you should be ashamed KORNdog...
He's one of the good guys.
Now if you need someone to tell you Resistance only sold cos it was the only half decent game on PS3, i will gladly.

Honestly this game along with the first doesn't look nearly as good as people make it out to be. All of the characters and enemies look really nice in renders, but the gameplay shots look very subpar.

It's funny how many people slate Gears of War 2 for "lack of improvement", yet comment on what a huge improvement Resistance 2 is over Resistance 1.

60 players online bla bla bla, 8 player co-op bla bla bla ... yeah, shame it looks like poop.

No, it's not because it's on the PS3 - console wars are just stupid. The two can be compared because they are both upcoming sequels.

If the textures are bad in the footage and i mention this, how is it trolling to say so??? get real Korndog, theres a difference between stating what is visable to see and talking crap like "this looks worst than gow1" blah blah blah , like some people have been doing in a very obvious trolling manner.

i've seen all the footage there is to see, there is no improvement. and if there is its bearly visible. you only have to look at the poly model of the characters to see that (check the artwork of the guy holding the shield)

i mean, ignoring the blatant bullshots, just look at gridlock. apart from the change in colour pallent and a change up of some textures. its all the same. texture res, and poly count are identical. as are the aliasing issues.

but i'll leave it at that. i've made my feelings known about the game. no need to go on and on about it. im sure the game will be great for the fans. but it lacks that graphical overhaul a sequal should have imo. you expect to see at least something, and sadly i dont see anything
