Oh, I thought the argument you were trying to make was that it doesn't. True though, it looks so much better.

those aren't 2d bacgrounds. I'm not even sure if there were ANY 2d bacgrounds in Gears 1.

these are campaign :?

the first one was from the E3 demo

and the second one was from the gears 1 campaign, you can tell because theirs dialouge on the bottom, and a box in the left informing you of your next objective

There main difference is the time of day in that scene. Sunset trumps middle of the day every single time

Yeah being the biggest Ps3 fan here i think even i can admit Gears 2 will be good, depending on the story. If they throw out a trash story like the first one, that would be... bad. hmm i need to work on my vocabulary

Trust me thats a bad comparison, the detail increase is immense

And anyway its UE3, its aged, and its no way a sign of the 360s maximum capabilities

The first screen has slightly sharper detail on Marcus, but that's more of an attribute of having anti aliasing turned off than actually having additional detail.

anyone who's saying minor leap really needs to take their fanboy goggles off. the character models are sharper, more detailed and have better lighting. the textures though you can see many up clsoe look higher res and the draw distance and scale is leaps beyond gears 1. the lighting is also very impressive. in gears 1 the enironmental lighting lacked severely and the areas were covered in bloom. in that gears 2 pic the lighting looks amazing and the bloom has been significantly reduced and pushed back in the backdrop

It's either that people are playing dumb, or they arent seeing the same pictures as me. Gears 2 Marcus model looks leaps and bounds ahead of Gears 1.

Though the first gears 1 pic doesn't do it justice, you get the point.

That's a bad comparison, the first one shows off the effects, which are obviously improved but it doesn't compare the textures or the close up background like the second one does. The worse lighting in the second one hides some of the detail but the detail is essentially the same.

A minor leap in graphics. It still looks great though.

no.

In what way does Uncharted looks better? Maybe artisticly, but not technically.

It uses bold colours to hide poor, flat textures.

Hm, well if it looks like that when I play it, then I guess it's a bigger leap then I thought.

so what, the gears 1.5 pic is a press shot and will no doubt look worse then gameplay shots when they come.

Thats a terrible first screen, there are jaggies everywhere. The only real diff I see is more detail on marcus' armor. Which doesnt mean its a better texture, simly a different one.

As for the second set of gears pics posted, i'm calling shenanigans on thats second screen. No gameplay I have seen looks like that and Epic is notorious for bullshots.

Edit: fixed my butchered english :P

I'm not talking about Gears 2. I will make my judgement when I actually play the game. It seems from their posts that they think Gears of War has superior textures compared to Uncharted and if they think that way, I'm letting them know they are wrong. This is not subjective.

A few editors have noted that it looks obviously better when you're actually playing it.

The most significant leap is lighting, from what I see. The first game was incredibly dark and gray : this one is more vivid in contrast and lighting is actually used in more scenes than in the original.
