Forums - Microsoft - IGN's E3 2008 Best Graphics Technology: Gears 2

The difference between unreal and crysis tech is that a great deal of developers use unreal and thus any improvement to the unreal engine has far more impact on the industry then crysis's graphics engine has had.

BTW I've been saying it for years now but the 360 and ps3 are essentially exactly the same. The difference is negligible.

360 owners, if you haven't already, download the Gears of War gameplay reaveal from XBOX Live. It's the same footage from E3, but it looks so much sharper on the 360. I can't wait 'til November!!

I wonder if that trailer, " rendezvous with death " was from In - game, i think it was, anyone know?

Yeah, now that you mention it... I'm not really sure. It probably had a mix of the two. I'm not sure, but when he held that Locust's chin, it screamed CG to me!

It was cool though. o_o

 


Realtime in engine.

And peoplesay that the 360 couldnt do better or keep up with the PS3 in graphics. LOL bu bu bu bu the CELL.

KZ2 > Gears 2

Uncharted > Gears 1

 

 Gears 2 is so much more impressive than K2 at this point and it would seem IGN agrees.

but gametrailers(xbox fanboys) agree that killzone 2 looks better. so if ign(mainly xbox fanboys) take to gears 2, i guess its one apiece at the moment.

looking at both gameplay videos killzone 2 looks way more impressive

 



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

Crysis Warhead would be more like it. But, I haven't seen a destructable environment like the one in KZ2 before, man that game looks hot!

I got both a 360 and PS3 too, but am more impressed with KZ2 at this stage. realise this too, KZ2 comes out in Feb, so there is quite a bit of time to polish it some more. Gears does look sexy too though.

Oh, and anyone who says that these 2 consoles 1st party games are exactly the same in graphics obviously haven't played through these games from both platforms. IMO, Sony clearly has an edge here and it will widen too. M.A.G has been also said to be impossible to run on the 360, so I wonder how it looks.

In the future though, graphics will hit a wall and it will all come down to how the overall game is and most importantly, how FUN. I say, bring these times on!

 

People were saying the same things about FFXIII until a few weeks ago. 

As for the difference between Killzone 2 and Gears 2 I think it would be a massive failure for the PS3 if Killzone didn't blow Gears completely and unequivocally out of the water considering it will have had a development cycle more than twice as long. 

I personally don't care to bother looking at videos of both since I only own a 360 and therefore already know which game I will get, but I am already extremely impressed at the improvements Epic has made over Gears 1.



Whats funny is when people(mostly sony fans) keep saying unharted is graphicly better than the origanal gears. I have to disagree with this I think graphicly gears looks better than uncharted with the amount of detail and textures and all that. Now having said that nearly everyone that says uncharted has better graphics always point to the actual look of the game(better colors and all that). For me there is a diff between graphicly better and looks better. You see I agree that uncharted does have more color and all that so in a way it does LOOK better but I still stand by that the graphics of gears are better. Not sure Im explaining this to good let me give a example.
I love the look of mario galaxy it looks better than kung fu panda
Kung fu panda does have better graphics though.
Do you see the point im trying to make?

I am not sure how anyone could make that argument, being no one has seen any real gameplay of FFXIII. I never thought FFXIII could not be done on the 360. FF games have never required a lot of power to run.

I have said it from day one, and I will say it again. Uncharted could not be done on the 360. Proof is, that no one has yet to accomplish it. The cpu power is just not there.

Gears 2 looks great, and Epic got this award because they took the hardware of the 360, and made something special with it. Resistance 2 is going to look better, but it's less of an achievement, because they have more to work with.

Crysis Warhead looks better, but they have a huge advantage in what they have to work with.

This award was not given to Epic because they made the best looking game, it's given to them because they made the most out of what they have to work with. I think Epic deserves it.
