And you know all the features of gears 2 im guessing?

Both games will look great. Gears had the advantage graphically over R:FoM but Insomniac has a lot more experience with the PS3 now, as does Epic with the 360.

After watching Epic show Unreal 3.1, Insomniac is gonna have their hands full. I think Gears 2 is gonna blow Gears out of the water visually.

Either way, it will be interesting.

Damn I wish I was as elegant and articulate as you at typing.

after watching that tech video for gears 2, it was very impressive.
The destructable environments looked very cool, and in some ways looks better than the similar work being done in Battlefield Bad Company.

How the rebar was left in the floor after he blew a hole in it, ... wow.

with that being said, I am sure lighting/atmospheric graphics, character models will be great in both games.
but that destruction of the environment in gears 2, is just another bullet point in the graphics department for them. It makes me wonder if R2 will have the same or better,
The only better I have seen are from the tech demos of Star wars, the force unleashed, which also looks great.

It's to the point now where it's useless to argue about PS3 vs. 360 graphics.

in most cases they both look good enough where a few additional polygons on the Ps3 won't make it look any better.

I don't think we will ever see a ps3 game that blows the 360 graphics out of the water, just minor improvements, and i mean minor.

Here's the complete excerpt from the original interview:

In terms of titles you are looking at in 2008, what do you have to counteract the just-announced Gears of War 2? One of the downsides of having a breadth of titles is that you might not be able to point to any one title like a Halo 3 or a GTA that are going to sell consoles. Is there a single strong PS3 title in your mind that you can point to like that?

Well, I think it is really easy to point to one when you've only got one. And so by default, that sort of solves itself.

I don't want to say that we have an embarrassment of riches, but we have the ability to go in a bunch of different directions depending upon the choice and the taste of the gamer. So we're not just forcing one genre upon our population, our installed base.

Let's break it down by calendar. It makes it a little easier to keep them organised.

We start with – and these are for the most part exclusive – but we are starting with our baseball game MLB: The Show. And quite frankly then go into a great month of April where we've got Grand Theft Auto IV and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Anybody on the sidelines waiting for some exclusive content – Gran Turismo has been emblematic of the PlayStation brand. It's celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2008. A lot of people bought their PS2 for GT, so I think it is an important sea change product for us.

We almost go into a completely different mindset with Little Big Planet. It's very…You could almost say unusual in the sense that it's not a shooter, it is something you would definitely not see from any of the other companies. It's a very social, sharing, creating style game. Shipping in the summer/fall.

SOCOM: Confrontation shipping in the summer. SOCOM is also one of those emblematic PlayStation brands. Multiplayer. A lot of folks have grown around the PS2 [version]. Killzone 2…not quite new IP, but certainly not an established brand like SOCOM. That will be a huge FPS title.

And I think one of the biggest games for us will be Resistance 2. We expect that, in November, to go toe-to-toe against Gears of War 2. It will be our third-generation PS3 product. Insomniac, having shipped Resistance 1, quietly sold a million units. And then Ratchet & Clank last fall. This is the third [game] on their technology shipping in November.

I welcome the head-to-head competition. I think it is going to be really exciting to see how we sort of put some distance graphically and from a fidelity standpoint with third-generation tech against the HD-DVD effort.

Some of these games you are seeing, like a Metal Gear Solid 4 which is a summertime exclusive, plus Resistance 2 – they're tipping the scales at 30, 40, 50GB. And if you tried to do that on HD-DVD, it would be like those old-school floppy [disc] games in your Apple and Commodore [mimics switching disks in and out]. I don't know about you, but I've been there, done that. I'm probably not ever going to go back. Even if you are double-layer on the DVD side, you are nowhere near that size and scale.

So I think you'll see the biggest blockbusters feel and certainly exude the kind of Blu-ray magic and Blu-ray gaming that will become something important for the back half of the year.

I'm not sure if you guys were responding with the graphical question because the OP brought it up or because you think it's what the interview was implying, but it actually has to do with sales. He says Resistance 2 is one of their biggest game this year and is going up against Gears of War 2. I honestly think Gears is going to wipe the floor sales wise with Resistance, but i also don't think Resistance is their big money maker this year. As far as graphically, it's hard to say. I'm going to say Gears for now, but no one knows much about it yet. Resistance has a lot of modes and gameplay, and I think that will come off slightly graphically for it all to hold up.

I dont expect resistance to match nor surpass gears 2's graphicle level, although I have not seen anything on R2, nor have I seen anything on GoW 2.

Like Ive stated many times before predictions are predictions, insomniac may suprise us, and the PS3 does have potential.

With the little we know so far, it's hard to tell. All we've got so far (besides both having great-looking character models) is R2's massive environments and detailed enemies vs. the great water effects and hundreds of locusts running around for GoW2. It'll be VERY interesting.

is it just me but i dont like the style of gears i like the style of resistance more but go Killzone 2!!

 What you meant and what you said are two different things.  Nobody has praised R2 as the greatest game graphics wise.  Maybe you should find new people to talk with if they claim that an unreleased game has the greatest graphics evah (<--intended hahaha you are so funny).
