New Gears Of War 2 Footage >

	Over at GameTrailers, someone posted a new video of Gears of War 2 footage. The video is a slanted, shakycam jumble, but you can see the game nonetheless. It looks like the first game, to be honest, with several additions.

The first UE mod was ok, for the hour or so that it lasted. I wonder if this mod will be any better?

Nice !

Curve stomping never looked so good.

I can't see the video at work =(

lol @ trip, quit being a f@g.

^ did I insult right? >=)

You know as much i really like the look of the game, i dont think the graphic is any different... maybe the lighing...!

I think you did it right, but be careful when you use the word F@g, F@gtiger might think you are calling him out.

I wish the video was better.

how can you tell, its an off the screen video, damn you can be a real F@g when it comes to the 360. You are so unrealistic f@g.

^^at F@gTiger

nope tiger, the textures also got better

LOL guys. Yes editing the word f@g was perfectly in bounds as far as I am concerned.

But try not to over use the word f@g please :p

PimpD, what type of F@g request is that? why the f@g would I not want to use the word as much as I want as long as its edited, no seriously that word is reserved for the one and only f@g on this site, Yes I'm talking about f@gTiger.

DM, please put up better quality videos, than that crap you posted of GOW2.

You guys have to keep in mind that scale plays a large role in the graphics department. Gears 1 was ahead of the curve when it came to graphics, but it also used some shortcuts. Gears 2 does away with some of these shortcuts while improving the scale 10 fold, improving the lighting, destructable environments, better textures, more efficient shaders, more animation, etc.

The fact that this IS a sequel and that Gears 1 was ahead of the game graphically shouldn't stop anyone from noticing the improvements made to the engine.

Saying "this looks like gears" is stupid, what else did you expect it to look like? Barbie's horse ranch? It's a sequel. This kind of crap went on with halo 3 too but I don't see people complaining that Resistance 2 looks like Resistance 1 or any other game that continues in a series.

edit:

Just connected to a DMZ to see the video and holy crap I can't believe anyone is using this video as reference as a comparison to Gears 1. You guys really fail at logic.

kenny, not only the scale, but an increase in physics means an increase in RAM usage, that the textures and lighting have improved in light of these developments is an achievement.

lets hope it delivers on gameplay

B1ueBurneR: Maybe I should give you a daily quota/limit on the word f@g. Would that help?

On topic: I have absolutely no problem with Gears of War 2 looking exactly like the first Gears of War. If they manage to improve the graphics in Gears of War 2, then they just managed to raise the bar on the best looking game this generation.

That's just what I'm talking about arthur, at least someone here understands me lol.

Console development is all a balacing act, the more you give in one area the less you can in another. It's not just with RAM but also with CPU and GPU resources. The more you optimize your engine, the more you can gain out of each eary in your balancing act.





One of the examples of Gears 1 shortcuts were the linear level and limited set of enemies. Even with levels with huge vistas in the distance, there was still narrow and controlled playing field. Now in Gears 2, these levels are HUGE, and are filled with hundreds of interactive enemies. Everything in the game has been improved, some things more than others, but it says something when Gears 2 looks "just like Gears 1" and could still be considered one of the best looking games out there.

As for gameplay improvement, everything I have heard/read about what they have improved makes me wet. Never before has one sequel addressed so many of my issues with a game, and I had A LOT of issues with Gears 1

I still think they should have implemented my "teabag curbstomp" idea into this game for multiplayer.

Me :"I downed a person who calls himself by the name of a secondary character from Mass Effect with my pistol, how should I proceed?"

Secondary Character from Mass Effect: "tapping A as quickly as he faps to chimps oil wrestling"

Me: "Ah yes, a teabag curbstomping is in order."

^ LMAO

right now, everything sounds great, and thats good, and what you said.......what can i add to it? nothing.

delivery needs to be perfect come november, i sure hope it will

^ you're setting yourself up for disappointment arthur

Yeah arthur don't do that, thats like getting F@gTiger mom pregnant.

on topic, I hope the game is better than the last one, put some havoc physic in there., and things that explode

i know nothing is ever perfect, for me what would be great is if it was an improvement of the earlier edition, anything like that would be perfect for me.
