Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Alan Wake vs Gears of War 2 {VISUALS}

Alan wake looks better, It's also a totally different type of game, I doubt that you will see lots of enemies on screen and gigantic beasts in alan wake....still Gears2 is not the best looking title on 360, in my opinion....Resident Evil 5 and Forza 3 are. (I don't know about mass effect 2 I've only seen the PC version)

Ehhh...wasn't even close, Alan wake takes this one and it makes sense too because if gears 2 still looked better despite being older than that would be a let down.



alan wake wins this by far
it would be very weird if gears 2 , which is 1 and a half years old , was still better than alan wake.
Anyway , the lighting and vegetation effects in AW are some of the nicest Ive ever seen in a game.



End of 2012 prediction:

xbox 360 : 73-75 million  playstation 3 : 72-74 million  wii : 104-105 million 

Most hyped for :

Bioshock: infinte, The Last Of Us, Alan Wake's American Nightmare and Agent

alan wake looks more realistic, gears 2 looks cooler



Gears 2 is still the best looking 360 game and seriously, it even is comparable to most PS3 games. I seriously think that when Gears 3 comes, it will look better than anything on console.

So far this gen Gears 2 still have the best textures (on par with Uncharted 2) and Killzone 2 have the best shading effects. Technically there isn't even comparison.

Boo @ Alan Wake, Heavy Rain, Forza 3 and God of War 3 graphics and their defenders.

I take it you haven't played much of God of War III. Texture-wise, I haven't seen a better game, and that was after I'd seen Uncharted 2. Gears 2 definitely had the richest textures before those two came along IMO.

I can't believe Santa Monica's tricks deceived even you



 

 

 

 

 

Alan Wake captures lighting far better than Gears of War 2 which is a bit of a bloom-fest due to the UT engine. Though the art directions are very different so hard to tell the definitive 'winner'.

You are both wrong. Timeshift (a shooter nobody played...sadly) has the bext textures and its about 2years old. Trust me just go play it and watch those textures. They are insane.

Not even close. I have finished Gears 2 3 times. Just watching Alan Wake on the net has me in a frenzy. And then theres the Previews that people have had.

Here:

"To be clear, none of the existing Xbox 360 games even compares to it, and even on PS3, which have more real exclusive titles, it's hard to find an equivalent. Killzone 2, Uncharted 2, Crysis, these are the few games which can compete with it. Whether it's the real-time projected shadows produced by the essential flashlight (those were obviously missing in Condemned 1 & 2), the total absence of aliasing (720p 4x FSAA), the breathtaking realistic lighting effects, the huge size of certain levels, SSAO, the atmospheric effects, the humongous size of some moving objects, the vegetation which interacts with characters and wind, or the largely satisfying framerate (with a light tearing that should disappear in the retail version) and many other physical and graphical effects, Alan Wake never ceases to amaze you with relative ease."
