From the 1up interview, I'm excited. As long as they don't pull a halo 3 on me, I'm good. Improved multiplayer is crucial.

Graphics, who gives a shit. These pics are pretty enough for me. The dumb are mostly intrigued by the drum. Or in this case, the poly count.

Looking at the Gridlock comparisons, does anyone else besides me think it looks much better in GOW1 than GOW2?


I don't get it?

Everything else looks fine, but what is up with GOW1 Gridlock looking cleaner/better than GOW2. GOW2 looks shoddy in comparison.

Am I the only one?

I find it looks nicer in GoW2, theres less strait lines, more natural look to it, Otherwise looks good either way.
Duno, if you want nice graphics go crysis, otherwise go GAMEPLAY!


EDIT: Im also a sucker for nature.

Gridlock in GOW1 looks "better" than the one in GOW2 because there isn't crap all over everything, lol! But GOW2 Gridlock is technically better because of the crap all over everything.

It looks fantastic BTW. Anyone who thinks this looks the same is pretty crazy, or is just hung up entirely too much on graphics. The game is making loads of headway in its gameplay, which is where it really counts. It may appear only marginally different on a purely aesthetic level, but if that's all you care about.. you're better off spending your money on Pixar blu-rays :P

Completely agree Tinks. The best way to measure how damn great Gears 1 was and how damn great Gears 2 is going to be, is by seeing how much PS3 lovers wet themselves.

No other forum has received so many comments as Gears 2 has.
Nah, Gears2 receives most comments because everyone knows how the first one was overrated to slam the launch of PS3. PS3 owners mostly do know how much hate is there in press for the PS3. And they DO KNOW what games were used to express that hate. From gears1 to Halo3, there has been enough overrating stuff happening.

There were only 3/4 NPCs onscreen that do battle in gears1, its the same again, most of the stuff is in scripted form in the background. All they did on improvement was more scripted stuff. We have yet to see water effects and NPCs to judge this game's improvement. You can see 10s of enemy models running in the far, far background in fixed animations and scripts, but how many swarm around you remains limited. In resistance 2, when the grim attack on you, its a scene to behold, there aren't less than 25 in each attack!!!

Oh dear, we're gonna get one of those Resistance2 vs Gears2 war and then it's gonna be Geras2vsKZ2...
Seriously, the MP looks quite good and we can see some of the destructible environment in the japanese MP videos.

Can't we stop comparing Gears 2 with Resistance 2, a third person shooter with an FPS?

Let's just appreciate Gears 2 on it's own for what it looks like it is going to be - a great game and strong GOTY contender.

Its crazy how deluded and desperate some ps3 fanboys are. The fact that resistance 2 only has 51 comments, and gears 2 has over double that..is not because theres hate for the ps3, or the press is against the ps3... its simply because theres alot more interest in the game, even by ps3 owners that need to try and shoot it down due to their own insecurity with their console choice. Where as 360 owners dont give anywhere near a damn about Resistance 2...which looks like its running on the steam engine at best.

I have no doubt that your little hardon over mgs4 turned flacid when you saw the single player shots of gears2.

Now go and comment on your own games.. i'm sure theres something of interest coming to the ps3 at some point. Like Killzone2...which isnt scripted at all.

The Best... thats kinda subjective:

If you want a Clan Team based game with perks and that kind of stuff, probably Resistance 2 is the best suited for you.

Now, no one can say that Gears Multi isn't the most Primal&Visceral FUN you can get in multi. games in the last decade. And i like that type of gameplay, a lot.
Try pulling a Call of Duty 4 Multi, on me...and I would loose some of my interest.

Im a bit skeptical on both resistance 2 and gears 2. While I think gears was an infinately better title than resistance(mgs4 and uncharted as well) , it doesnt mean I think the first one was great. To me it was a good game and thats about it. Resistance was also good, but had a lot of flaws I didnt like.(just like MGS4) And yes, Im a multiconsole owner and have been for a long time.

Point is, both have to prove something before Ill spend any more money on them. These screen shots dont really tell me anything right now, ill wait till were closer to release.

Launch of PS3 was pretty terrible, just like PS2... there wasn't much to slam

Also you should probably investigate the tech videos Epic did of the water and interactive AI swarms with their environment (which looks as if it were plucked and put right into that video trailer from a little ways back), which wasn't scripted.

It's official - Gamersyde became Gametrailers.

Well done folks, you've outdone yourselves.

Meanwhile, anyone who can't actually tell the difference between the GOW1 shots versus the new version really does need glasses. Subtlety, people, subtlety. There's a lot more detail. Granted I've never been a massive fan of the roughshod way they've ridden their art style with generic everyday guerilla types bettered years ago in Predator, but credit where credit is due - looking very nice indeed.

Oh, we're no where near being the Game Trailers community. There would have to be a collective IQ drop before Gamersyde became that site. That place is an armpit of stupidity.

We do get the occasional freshmen trolls who don't know the rules or how easy it is to get banned.

I loved the Unreal Engine from 1997 on. And now I really know why xD

The new Ambient Occlusion Lightning really rocks.^^
