Killzone 2 VS Gears of War 2 through the eyes of a programmer

Killzone 2 does have amazing animations, however, that is a result of Guerilla Games spending an unprecedented amount of time on many different animations. Epic proved that you can have hundreds of animated characters at once on the 360 during one of their tech demoes. Killzone 2 just has many more different types of animation compared to GoW2. Honestly, the animation system in Uncharted is actually more advanced than the one in Killzone 2, even if Killzone 2's animations look more better to some

Nothing that you stated is news to me, I knew those things prior to writing my initial analysis. Also, what you said about Killzone 2 is not true, there are parts where GG's tricks can be seen because of ill-placed mirrors and other slight design choices. Killzone 2 has a lot of very impressive features, however, textures aren't one of them. Don't get me wrong, they are impressive, but a few select games outdo it.

Uncharted is indeed an amazing, and some parts are more sophisticated than Gears of War 2, but not nearly as much as you make it seem. Uncharted does some things better and GoWII does some things better. However, overall, Gears of War 2 is technologically superior to Uncharted in many ways. Btw, that paper was released before GoWII was released and if you understand the contents of it, it's not something that one would use against GoWII.

I've met quite a few people that share your view. Although I think GoWII does look better than Uncharted, I think the art style in Uncharted is prettier.
