I'd like to remind everyone that Killzone 2 has been in development since 2005, while Gears 2 probably started in mid '07. So the fact that we can even compare them (even if KZ eventually wins out, which I think it does), speaks to the power of BOTh systems.

Also, I don't know if anyone read the OP without their fanboy goggles on, but he clearly said, "But they are so close that really there is no definitive answer."



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

You know, he just made this thread as a tribute to both games. Yet, somehow, the Sony fanboys are the ones who pissed all over it. You guys are so predictable. -_-;;

LOL! You're correct. selnor comes of as a huge 360 fanboy most of the time, and you can't control the Sony fanboys from tearing him apart. But still, people, read the OP!

Yes but Gears 2 benefits from all of Gears 1 development time (In my eyes aside from color addition the two look pretty much the same), so they are fairly equal in that sense.

Gears of War went into development back in 2004 didn't it? One could say Gears 2 has a combination of 4 years development time.

Gears 2 art style is horrible. What the hell is up with that? Looks horrible.

?? Gears of War has been released 2007 and Gears2 is only an enhanced version of it (which is not bad since Gears is still one of the best-looking games around). So you can be pretty sure that development on the Gears codebase has been done longer than the development on the Killzone2 codebase (the 360 hardware was available a year longer). So this argument is bollocks.

Selnor you just have to face the truth, So what if Killzone 2 has better graphics, Besides the upside for you is Gears 2 releases 3 Months before Killzone 2.

To the fanboys who are trying to make this thread go off rails. The videos werent to properly compare the games. It was to say my honest opinion on the actual visual differences, when all is said and done there isnt that much.

We can all stand here and say one over the other, but it's marginal no matter what side of the fence your on. I'll create another thread so you can argue with proper high quality visual games. I made my thoughts known on graphics about games before. But this thread wasnt for that.

No offense, But you are the one sounding like a fanboy by saying that Gears may be marginally better than Killzone graphically. Thats just outrageous. Killzone is leaps ahead. Killzone 2 is the game that was shown a few years back at E3 and No-one believed it could ever look that good. People thought it was CGI lol:).......and it still has 3 months left.

Um, what they showed a few years ago WAS CGI.  Unless you think it was done at that time and they've simply been sitting on it for four years -_-

 

@Kyros: Not exactly

-Gears 1 360 released in November 2006.

-Gears 1 PC, which used a heavily updated version of Unreal Engine 3 (hence why they couldn't release the extra chapters as DLC), released on November 6, 2007.

-Then Unreal Tournament 3 released on PC and PS3 in November and December 2007, respectively.

-Then the 360 version of UT3 released in July 2008.

 

Now, that's obviously not to say that Gears 2 development began this past summer (of course not), but Epic had many other projects to keep them occuppied.  Not only that, but since Gears 2 uses a heavily updated Unreal Engine, they would have had to remake most of the assets.  So my point stands.
