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).

That would have been true for the earliest footage, but I don't agree at this point. The recent footage has shown pretty good texture work. Not perfect, but miles better than what they showed at E3 2007, especially when you consider how close the perspective takes you to the texture surfaces.

Not that it'd really matter; the game is a wonder of atmosphere and grit, and only a complete idiot (or someone unbalanced tool) would criticize its audiovisual presentation. Gears 2 is quite pretty too, albeit in a different way.

Amazing, someone make that a smiley.

Did Gears one have those muzzlesflashes? These looked way nicer if so. ANy ideas? My memroy might be hazy but I dont remember muzzle flashes like that.

This game looks the be the culmination of some of the sharpest guys in the buisiness. They know their shit, bigtime.

The depth of feild look amazzing. I dont know what they did to get it to look this good and run this smooth, but keep everything as is. I would take a 640p Gears 2 to play a game that looks this great.

I have to say that I am a bit disappointed. Looks pretty much exactly like Gears of War 1 to me.

probably because of the models but the scale, lighting and textures is omg, and all at a smooth framerate.

Love the trailer. They've only upped the testosterone and aggression. It's like the definition of "fuck yeah". Sound effects are so very loud and full of base. After Gears I was thinking of this scene where you'd be riding through this environment and you'd have Brumack(s) running along, which you'd have to take down.

I'm also fond of chainsawing someone from the back in the ass up. Chainsaw is also faster.

Kestastrophe · « **Reply #70 on:** May 10, 2008, 09:33:59 AM »

The lighting looks leaps and bounds better than Gears 1. I like how the sparks from the chainsaw battle are casting shadows on the characters.

I cannot wait for this game to be released. Video looked awesome...just home the mp is better this time around. I couldn't get into the multiplayer at all in Gears.

Did you expect toon shading?

I expected a bigger graphical upgrade in 2 years.

And graphics aside the hype this trailer was getting was not really deserved.

huckleberry · « **Reply #73 on:** May 10, 2008, 09:48:57 AM »

How much of an upgrade in graphics did you need with Gears 2?

Why would a game that is one of the biggest sellers this gen not deserve hype?

The game does but not footage that might as well been taken 2 years ago.

MCD · « **Reply #75 on:** May 10, 2008, 09:55:38 AM »

2 years ago? not even the pc version got what you see today with the exception of the Brumak.

huckleberry · « **Reply #76 on:** May 10, 2008, 10:06:37 AM »

I just want better controls in 2. I need to be able to unstick myself from cover faster....and faster weapon change.

This looks like the game I wanted the first Gears to be. I never finished the first game. I played a little co-op with a friend and enjoyed that, but the janky AI of your partner was frustrating in single player. If they've fixed that, and the "sticky cover" system, then I'll certainly check this out.

So no one else gets a "model landscape (with action figures)" vibe from the visual presentation? It looks great, but it has this toy quality to it. Well, really brutal toys.

tiesto · « **Reply #86 on:** May 10, 2008, 01:22:11 PM »

I don't see too much of a difference based on the video, just looks like the original with more - higher framerate, more onscreen enemies, etc. And it still has that kind of low-contrast graphic style that was in the first game. Not that that's a problem for me, I enjoyed the first game for what it's worth (though I'd hardly call it a "10/10") and would definitely play a sequel, especially if they fix the first game's niggling flaws.

Tieno · « **Reply #87 on:** May 10, 2008, 03:53:25 PM »

In doors and in the caves (the best looking parts of Gears 1 imo) it's going to look even better.
They're showing Gears 2 in an environment and lighting conditions that are not its strength (open, bright daylight) and it looks damn good.

The GI article talked how a lot of the game will take place underground as you'll be taking it to the locust. You can do some crazy shit with that.

I was actually really impressed with this footage, knowing it's of the actual game. I can only hope that the rest of the levels have this amount of scripting detail and such. I honestly didn't expect to see gameplay like this in this hardware gen.

Tieno · « **Reply #94 on:** May 11, 2008, 02:47:20 PM »

I just started playing Gears SP again and damn, it's still so good looking. Hosted a co-op game and wihin half a minute someone joined and we were playing. I wish Halo 3 had co-op matchmaking, it's so hard and rare to get a co-op session going in that game. If it had that, I'd be playing more Halo co-op than MP.
Still plays very smooth. Favourite weapon is the shotgun, shooting it from the hip and blindfiring is great to master. Also has the coolest 'perfect' reload animation.

looks great, good to know that the 360 still hasn't maxed out yet.
