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.

No other forum has received so many comments as Gears 2 has.
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.

With so much joke posters, it almost seems pointless to comment anything.

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.

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.

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.

He didn't, Dom did.
I guess the question roughly remains the same though ...

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.
I guess the question roughly remains the same though ...

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.

I loved the Unreal Engine from 1997 on. And now I really know why xD
The new Ambient Occlusion Lightning really rocks.^^
