Resistance 2, Gears 1.5, or, erm, Animal Crossing?

I heard that Resistance only sold a million, the rest were bundled, so it's difficult to tell how many people liked the game or just wanted a free game with the console. I agree with your sales, but I think R2 will sell faster(1st week-1 month) than AC, but AC will have legs. Also, you say R2 is very gory, does that mean it will be banned in Germany & Japan like Gears of War 2? I think the people that are calling Gear 1.5 are PS fanboys because nobody is saying R1.5 since they were both released at the same time and I haven't heard anything new about it.

 

Generally speaking, the Gears 1.5 is a marginalization was invented by PS fanboys after IGN named Gears 2 the best technical graphics at E3, over Killzone 2. It's a reference to the graphics.

Nobody calles Resident Evil 5, Resident Evil 4.5. Trust me, it's a fanboy thing. No legitimate source with any credibility called Gears 2, Gears 1.5. All previews have been fantastic.

....which would make this statment in the OP:

The game is being labelled Gears of War 1.5 in some places.

Either ignorance or fanboyism, by definition.

 

IGN and gamefly are two sites that have mentioned the possibility of calling it 1.5.  They may not have said it as "it IS", but they have certainly commented on the fact that it may be called that.  (not justifying it, but just rebutting that "no legitimate source with any credibility...")

 

Got a link, so I can check the context?
