I kinda doubt it... just because how would you see in a 4 split screen third person shooter?

Seems like it, it's on the official websiteTTP said:

'Powered by Unreal Engine 3
The only obvious choice to power the Emergence Day era, its visuals, and its gameplay is the brand-new Unreal® Engine 3, which provides an unparalleled amount of detail without taxing the processor

Some of it older than E3.
(i remember Cliffy stated somewhere they were going to put some motion blur in the game)

That's great news, far too many games on the 360 has problems with the framerate and this is kind of the game that is supposed to show off what the Xbox 360 is capable of, anything below 30fps will turn into a trollingfest.Blimblim said:What I saw running a few days ago at TGS was very very smooth. Much better than anything we saw of that game until now
A solid 30 fps? Tearing?Blimblim said:What I saw running a few days ago at TGS was very very smooth. Much better than anything we saw of that game until now
If that's the case, my hat is off to the team as I was having doubts that they could pull it off. The game is incredible looking and considering that nearly every game I own for the 360 has framerate problems of some sort, I had little faith. Of course, they are trying to sell two different products with the release of Gears of War. If the creators of the engine were unable to release a game with a smooth framerate, that would reflect negatively on UE3.
It was somewhat sad that, up until now, the only UE3 game demonstrated to the press/public with a smooth framerate has been Fatal Intertia. :\
Hopefully other developers using UE3 will be able to hit a target of AT LEAST 30 fps with vertical sync enabled.

It doesn't matter if it runs a steady 30 to 60 fps ther will be one or more times when there's alot of action on screen that the framerate will dip and it will be trolled just like many 360 games already have been. I've played almost every 360 game to date and the framerate has never been a problem for me. the same shit is going to happen to most PS3 games and the xbots will jump all over that also.Most developers are going to try to max out the visuals in a game and the framerate will suffer, unless you want PS2 visuals with 60fps on next gen hardware you will have to wait till the PS4 and the xbox 720 to get PS3 and 360 maxed out visuals @ 60 fps and so on. It's a never ending vicious cycle.
That's fantastic.Blimblim said:
How was the game itself looking? Have they further enhanced the animation? Any other improvements/additions since E3?
The problems exist, however.
I have some faith that PS3 will offer us higher framerates on the whole. While some games were still rough at TGS, we saw a suprisingly high number of 1080p titles (including some at 60 fps) along with some very impressive 720p titles at 60 fps. Capcom commented that it was impossible to achieve 60 fps with their new engine, yet they are doing just that on PS3 with DMC4. That gives me faith.
The PS3 may not be significantly more powerful than the XBOX, but perhaps the boost will end up being just enough that we see higher framerates more often. Also, based on last generation, there were more developers working on Sony hardware with a higher framerate standard. The vast majority of "important" XBOX titles struggled with framerate, so 360 really isn't all that different at this point. We'll see...

Here's a comment from a Gears developer on that stuffdark10x said:

What games and what problems are you talking about eg: framerate was so bad I could not see who I was aiming at, I crashed into the wall because I didn't see the turn due to the framerate slowdown, I lost the race because I tripped over the shitty framerate. I want to know what I am missing here? or maybe I don't because I can enjoy the awesome explosions of SaintsRow and you can't:lol
The game looked totally awesome. The only bad thing I can say about it is that the skins of the characters was still a bit too shiny during the cutscenes. Everything else was simply perfect. Killer app confirmed for me.dark10x said:
I saw the game running on a big ass plasma TV (like 50 inches) and the lack of AA was not a problem at all. Honestly now that I think about it, I didn't even notice that there was no AA at all.
Maybe I was too focused on what was going on on the screen to take the time to check the jagged edges, or maybe the motion blur helps hiding them, or maybe Epic is magic. I don't know. All I can say is that there will be a lot of OMGWTF in here when you guys start getting some HD footage of this gameMojovonio said:

Well, yes but that's not something you can always control in a game like GoW.
I would think they used some slight of blur of some kind; they could even have the engine trace 1 point - 50% transparent objects outlines, and that would somewhat work without loosing too much crispness i guess...there's several things you can do actually, with some creativity. It's good to know they went out of their way and didn't give up trying to achieve a good IQ just because they couldn't just switch the AA button on.
I never said that framerates were hitting unplayable levels, but rather, that most games I own for the 360 (around 14-15 games at this point) suffer from lots of dropped frames and tearing. It's a rare thing indeed to find a truly stable 360 game. They are still quite playable, but the visual impact is pretty strong for me and impacts my enjoyment. It's not a problem for you, and that's great, but that's just how I feel. It's been very disappointing.36WiiS3 said:
Oh yeah, that sounds fantastic. I'm glad to hear that it is shaping up so well.
Did you happen to catch any audio during this presentation? We've heard the voice acting and sound effects, but I'm curious as to which direction they've decided to go with the soundtrack. Any music present?
dark10x said:
Just in case you hadn't heard, Cliffy's said a few times it's gonna be a movie like, classical-themed score. Can't say how it's turning out, but you asked what direction it's going. Cliffy called out bad rock and techno music in games and said that surely won't happen in Gears.
