why are we doing this.
the results in the end will be killzone 2, or crysis.

I decided to change it up a bit...instead of doing an elimination game, we'll compare two random games each time.

Nah, gears 2 is unreal engine. Suffers from really bad pop in, poor texture quality, the "plastic" effect, and the narrow hallway effect. Though it does appear to look more dramatic due to smoke and mirrors, the engine is no where near as good technology wise. Uncharted is known as Texturezilla for a reason.

The textures in Uncharted are better, but it still suffers from similar problems that Gears 2 suffers from...btw, what's the narrow hallway effect?

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

Uncharted, because every human or alien grunt looks and moves the same in Gears. I didn't play it, but that's what strikes me in OP movie. Although I think it's more epic looking than Uncharted, and I like epic.

Uncharted. It looks much better than even gears 2.

wut.

When you compare the games side by side, then yes, Uncharted looks better...but the scope of Gears 2 is too hard to overcome and IMO, it is easily much better looking than Uncharted.

We must not be playing the same game then...I will give credit to Uncharted for nice textures on certain occasions and overall maintaing them...some textures looked out of place and plastic at times,IMO that is...but I also must take away from Uncharted for Polygon count per second...Gears of War is pushing way more polygons than Drake's Fourtune is...I must take away from Gears for being on the UE3...it was annoying to see the textures do what they want during certain momments...And some of you say Hands down Uncharted for animation but don't factor in Motion Capture...+1 to Gears for explosions....IMO Gears of War is the better looking game....

@Inverted....

If don't own a 360..don't buy one...

Funny how I feel the same way about Uncharted...

What is Narrow HallWay?

Smoke and Mirrors?...Now your just being rediculous....

Unreal Engine...For me has it's up's and down....For the game industry it has been a huge win....Sadly...PS3 has yet to see good game with UE 3.5

Batman AA has EU 3 (.5?) but a malestorm of other Middleware..which was for the best...I think Bink or ScaleForm eliminated the texture Pops of UE and I hope Epic was watching....

Some things in that game have very good textures...to an extent I agree....But Disagree which games looks better over all...
