This whole argument is stupid. These are CORRIDOR shooters..meaning you’re restricted to a limited path. Companies going after eachother saying “We’re better because we have more particles in our corridor” or “we have better lighting in ours!” is lame. Try Arma 2 or even the almost 2 year old Crysis games,,BIG worlds and way better graphics than anything either of these bozo companies make.

“Cutting edge” only exists on the PC.

@RROD – I spent $1,200 building my comp. To say I spent all that money “just to play one game” is incredibly ignorant.

Mark Rein and Epic can kiss my ass after all that “bigger, better, more badass” horseshit he and Cliffy B came out with during the GoW2 pre-release hype-fest. I don’t think i’ll ever believe anything those jumped-up pricks will ever say again.

But on the subject of graphics I’m quite looking forward to seeing how M$’ dedicated X-Engine and new toolkit will look in a year or two when devs get to grips with ‘em. Could usurp UE3 altogether. Then maybe we’ll see what Xenos can really do. Watch this space…

when it comes to gears the unreal engine will allways run better.
because im pretty sure epic, the people who created the engine now how to optimize it better than out side devs.
so games epic create using the unreal engine will allways look better than games that other devs create using the same engine.

@ JB9687:

” But the processing is those Gears 2 vids you post lag far behind a lot of games. Even LP2 is doing it much better.”

That’s why I wrote this article to see what gamers think of the improvements done in UE3.

I think they will improve it further, but UE is still a middleware engine which means it’s not optimized to take advantage of one console, so we will see in the future how much can Epic games improve it’s own engine.

unreal 3 engine is just to old, unreal 4 i cant see that getting any where near KZ2 quality.
the unreal engine makes games look extremely grainy especially rocks look so rough even water looks really rough.
i found uncharted to be the same, i hope uncharted 2 has a more smooth look to the objects instead of everything looking so rough and pixelated.
to me the game that had the best graphics is definetly MGS4.
everything looked so smooth and shiney high detail in the enviroment lots off color, unlike gears and KZ2.
KZ2 no doubt had better effects but graphics id have to give it to MGS4.

Sorry to break it to you. But the processing is those Gears 2 vids you post lag far behind a lot of games. Even LP2 is doing it much better.

@ Leo
sorry killzone 2 runs better than crysis engine at normal settings… meaning you dont spend 1k plus just to play a game… that’s why pc games aren’t good as console games in terms of the most bang for your buck.

even Resistance 2 has superior graphics engine than gears of turd 2.

Unreal engine sucks, thats all.

Wow, didn’t know 30fps is considered “smooth as butter”. Both the puny consoles suck actually. It is enough to look at something like Crysis and see where graphics can actually go (shame the game itself and its expansion, Warhead, are borefests).
