    I can't believe you said that, but carry on.

    It looks great, is it just me or does it seem that it has the same quality models and what not from before but just on a bigger scale and with better lighting?.

    The engine has been shown to be capable of more than that, but that is what we saw tonight. In addition to a much smoother frame rate. That is important as well.

    Sorry it is not Killzone 2(I just downloaded from live), lightinng is not still as good as that one. But it is a lot better than Gears 1. Definitely a pre-order for me. The new game mechanics look cool! (the duel, picking up downed enemy and use it as a shield, etc).

    Yes yes, true, this a defiant pre order for me (when the pc version comes out that is).

    Wow, the difference between palette is day and night. They improved the lighting quiet a lot too without sacrificing the texture quality. Interesting video to watch..

    Gears of War 2 is the topic, folks

    Let's keep on topic and discuss Gears of War 2. Talk about media, new information about the gameplay and settings of this sequel to GoW are the welcome.

    Anything but what each and every other forum members think of Gears of War 2 graphics when compared to other games'. Especially when those games are exclusive to rival platforms. We all know how fine and thoughtful this type of discussions turn out to be in the end. So let us not start and derail a good thread with nonsense.

    It looks like Gears of War 1, just bigger and more badass. Not that there is anything wrong about it.

    I think it looks much better than Gears of War 1, and is also bigger and more badass.

    It looks improved aswell as larger battle scale (quite some monsters running down there in the video). This definitely is going head to head with other top console titles IMO by the looks.

    Best looking console game I've seen yet. I'm impressed that they were able to make so many improvements. I was wanting UE3 to go away but now I'm excited to see what other developers will be able to do with UE3.5.

    Too bad it was a very scripted battle on rails. Not really great to judge much about scale.

    Anyone noticed the textures from marcus look like the higher resolution textures from the cut scenes in the first game? And that the frame rate seems to be close to 60 most of the time?

    What are you using to gauge framerate. This isnt the first time I have heard about the title/trailer running 60fps, though I find it unlikely (of course I may be mistaken).

    Looks amazing! I'm suprised it looks so good actually. I'll be waiting for the PC release this time though, i'm not in a rush to get this one.

    Given the complete headache that GoW1 was on pc I simply cant see myself waiting for the pc release. Though for several reasons I dont blame you on this decision.
