Easy: - Is the framerate constant with over 50+ Locusts on screen? Checked! - Is the multiplayer bringing new things to the table and still fluid? Bots? Checked! - Is the gameplay different from what we've seen before Gears? Checked! (I mean, look at all those FPS utilizing the cover system now, Quantum of Solace and Killzone 2 comes in mind) - Is the environment destructible? Checked! - etc. A game's engine makes all the difference IMO. Staples like these need to stay there for a genre like this one (FPS, TPS), but I agree that it probably doesn't work (or doesn't need to be there) for all game genres. |
Well...you can say the same about Resistance 2 for example:
- Is the framerate constant with over 100+ enemies on screen? Checked!
- Is the multiplayer bringing new things to the table and still fluid? The biggest online FPS in consoles? Checked!
- Is it bigger than the previous) Checked!
- 8 player online co-op? Checked!
- Different story mode for online coop? Checked!
- No lag, I mean...0 lag? Checked...
The fact is that Gears is an amazing game, amazing graphics...better than resistance...worst in the multiplayer side.
To say taht is the new benchmark...ummmm
I am still shocked with Metal Gear Solid.
