Yeah, should be a hoot. I hope it sticks to showing gameplay footage though, we don't need more UE3 brand bullshots muddying up the stream.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #2 on:** May 09, 2008, 02:27:15 PM »

I predict 45 seconds of footage.

demi · « **Reply #3 on:** May 09, 2008, 02:30:07 PM »

I predict QTEs, and will love it, enjoy

Kestastrophe · « **Reply #4 on:** May 09, 2008, 02:47:58 PM »

Does active reload count as a QTE? If not, then what the hell are you guys talking about

Chainsaw battles

clang clang clang QUICK PRESS X clang clang clang NOW PRESS RIGHT TRIGGER BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT

Oh no, I hadn't even thought of that. It's all your fucking fault, demi!

Demi, Game Designer at large

People got frustrated at how running up and meleeing (buzzing) enemies would be annoying to trigger, so why not just have a quick QTE sequence instead? Rather than the enemy just giving up, they will put up a fight, and if you fuck up, whoops

That sounds actually very cool. I hope it doesnt come up all the time in single player, but that would be a nice addition.

Crap, video cut out on me about 60% through. Looks amazing so far.

That's pretty badass. More of the same gameplay-wise with a few additives to spice things up, but if even half the levels are as action packed as that one appears to be, it'll be shitting all over the competition.

That was alot more impressive than I expected. It's really hard to believe the 360's budget console hardware is responsible for that level of graphics.

Epic

I wish more 360 developers were as capable as Epic in getting performance out of the 360.

That game looks way more different from Gears 1 than I think anyone was able to expect. Shit looks like Halo and Gears fucked each other

Pretty cool. Best part was holding the locust hostage.

holy fuck @ people on youknowwhere thinking it's 60fps. They don't even know what it means, they just know that 60fps is better, they're fan boys, and so they say it's 60fps.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #30 on:** May 10, 2008, 02:58:21 AM »

I was most surprised by how much more organic the game looks. The enemies, especially the big monster, seem so much more alive.

The vegetation in the background also subtly brings life to the environment. Awesome stuff.

demi · « **Reply #31 on:** May 10, 2008, 03:01:28 AM »

I watched it on GT and on Spike

On Gt it looked 30, but on Spike it definitley looked 60.

I'm going with my completely irrational take on it.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

but that's really cool if they can get it up to 60fps on the 360. considering like 3 games are actually 60fps on the system. DoA4, CoD4, NGII...and...?

[close]

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #38 on:** May 10, 2008, 03:11:57 AM »

If it's 60fps, lots of Sfags are going to be in suicidal mode. But then again, they probably are already.

Maxed out 360 hardware. LOL

Good job making or finding that thumbnail sized pic , McDragon. The Xbot army needs to start beating Sfags at their own game.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #42 on:** May 10, 2008, 03:19:16 AM »

Shrink it further by 50 percent or so. The effectiveness of a pic in a screenshot battle is inversely proportional to its size.

How old are you? Cliffy B is in his 30's.

facial hair and/or goofy haircuts past the age of 35 = the sour stench of desperation

wtf my whole post got deleted.

I don't want to say its at 60fps, but if you saw both of them, you would know what I'm talking about.

Maybe GTTV sped it up?

And I still think KZ2 looks better.

Epic must have only used 1 of the 360's CPU cores in the first game because the sequel looks so much better.

Kyle · « **Reply #54 on:** May 10, 2008, 04:22:42 AM »

Gears of War 3 gonna use the third core

CHOW CHOW · « **Reply #55 on:** May 10, 2008, 04:25:37 AM »

I'm blown away. Best looking console game ever, imo. I loved seeing all that chaos in the sky... the ships, smoke trails, explosions, etc. Lighting looks hugely improved as well. What a monster this thing is gonna be.

Look up those bullshots again. It's nowhere close. I'm sure the Gears of War 2 bullshots will look better than Gears of War ones though. Looks good though, in a miniature landscape sort of way.

Come on now. It was more a joke about fanboys using such small GIFs to prove their points. Anything can look like CG when it's that small.

Ok, got it. Never know with you people.

Wow, the scene with the Brumak really reinforces the whole "model landscape" deal. I really hope that was set at the wrong speed, because it looked like the old stop motion dinosaur battle movies we saw in school. In the early 80s.

CHOW CHOW · « **Reply #59 on:** May 10, 2008, 04:46:49 AM »

Killzone 2 has poor texture work. Low res textures all over the place. This seems to be a problem with almost every major PS3 exclusive (Resistance, Warhawk, Motorstorm, MGS4, KZ2, etc). The only one that has really nice textures is Uncharted. Naughty Dog is like their best technical dev so that's expected. The rest of the games fail to impress with their textures. A couple of the worlds in Ratchet have nice textures too (Iris and Meridian City).
