I think this video will put paid to naysayers on both sides.

It is clear from this that Killzone 2 has a very slight but noticeable graphical advantage over Gears of War 2.

It really shows what can be done with double the development time.

you think the UE was made in 2 years????? LOL

the first pics i saw of the UE was before the 360 was anounce

Excuse me?  I didnt say UE was made in 2 years (though UE3 might have been).  I said Gears of War 2 was made in two years.

 

The dev time is pointless. Four years with 50 people is not different of two years with one hundred people (I'm not specifically talking about GeOW or KZ here).
Starting a game with an engine ready is different than building one from scratch too.

If we really want to know how long it took to develop gears 2 we should add the time that has been spent by X people working on the UE, the X people that worked on the engine for Gears 1 (not artists and directors), and the X people that have been working on Gears 2.

So... maybe (probably) KZ2 took longer to develop, but saying that it had 2 more years means nothing.
