@ Garnett: To point out, in 06' the mantra was that the SPEs would be terrible at AI "because they aren't built for that".  Now it's clear that that's not true, obviously.

Anyway, these screens look great.  360 has usually had the edge in up-close textures in limited amounts, a la Gears, while PS3 has the edge in a number of other areas.

 

And, now, some are saying the SPEs are better at AI than when run on other processors (when proper branch hints or branch elimination is implemented).

As far as textures in Gears go, they focused most of those textures budget on the characters and not everywhere.  To date, Uncharted has the most high rez textures throughout a game.

 

Yeah, that was my take on Gears: amazing detail on 1 or 2 primary close characters, with everything else blurred so as not to tax the system.  Hey, it wins the screenshot wars, maybe.
