I believe technically, Gears of War2 is over Resistance2

In term of overall, design, I still consider Gears sucks a lot ...

And for the scale : Resistance2 >>> Gears2

This thread was actually a really good read with most people posting things of intrest. I have to say when I saw the title I thought "oh no flame war" lol which I have no second thoughts would have happend over at n4g.com. My opinion is that both will be a blast to play but if we are just talking graphics gears 2 is more impressive thats not to say that R2 doesnt look good to. For me gears 2 for look and textures and scale to is up there as one of the best on consoles. I have to say to that this gen has come up with stella games that I have really enjoyed playing from mass effect to uncharted to oblivion to gears to R1 and many more(streets of rage to on 360 arcade although a old game is still one of my favs lol). Good gaming.

I think your arguing a null point. The systems are NOT the same graphically. The PS3 has the cell processor, which when pushed will give it the advantage over the 360. That said, Resistance 2 and Gears 2 are aiming for two different things and you are making a very poor attempt at a troll thread.

Resistance 2 is unfinished, unpolished, and extremely large. The game's graphical caveat relies more on animation, on screen characters, sweeping vistas, and massive environments.

Gears 2 (as much as they have expanded it), will still be heavily moderated. The game has great textures but lacks any good animation system at all. That is the red herring of the Unreal Engine. Most people look at textures and exlaim "THIS LOOKS BETTER"- when in reality, if you take draw distance, enemy numbers, bullet counts, dead bodies, ANIMATIONS, and I could go on and on and on- you'll soon find - Resistance 2 has the better tech.

Unreal 3 uses a third person locked camera. It uses bloom to cover up muddy textures. These are tricks. Its a great looking engine, but don't fool yourself.

Its a stalemate, which do you prefer -

A) Open sweeping environments, amazing animation, and slightly less fidelity in textures

or

B) Clausterphobic environments, locked in third person, amazing textures, great character models.


This is a total troll thread.

In my opinion R2 looks better, once i saw Hale looking across the river to the city being destroyed and the vast amount of ships filling the sky it was no doubt in my mind which game looked better.

Umm.. Gears 2 by a little bit. But both will be great games for their respective owners.

Gears 2, anyone who says the textures are close needs glasses.

Resistance 2, the animation wins ten fold.  See what I did there?  This arguement is a stalemate.  Anyone who says one game looks better than the other is either a fanboy or needs a lesson in objectivity. 

So you're claiming anyone that says one game looks better than another is a fanboy?  That's ridiculous.  Oh and by the way it's no contest with the models and animation either, Gears 2 wins hands down.  Of course I'm going by the media that has been released so far.   

Gears 2, barely.
