"Oh, I was hoping to scrim with people I knew. No worries, I idle there as it is...I guess i'll look for a group to stick with."
My clan (and I imagine a few others) are currently somewhat inactive due to the holiday season. That and very conflicting schedules amongst some members as is, so we're not even practicing much. Should get better in January, though. With the addition of WebAdmin (Hopefully, supposed to come in patch 2), most ladders/leagues aren't even kicking off until Jan anyway.

The PS3 version uses the highest resolution versions of the textures available (exactly the same as the PC version). If you run the PC version at 1280x720 on the same display, you'll find that there is no difference in detail when the PC version is using the highest detail setting. Go ahead and compare for yourself.Halvie said:
The only difference I've noticed between them is the addition of motion blur on PS3 and the fact that the PC version can operate at higher resolutions and framerates (oh and AA support with DX10). The actual visuals, however, are the same between the two (when the PC version is maxed out).

To me, UT3 looks like they took a typical Gears map and stretched it out 5x its size adding bland-looking environmental textures between the landmarks that actually got well-polished. At its best, it looks as good or better than Gears, but most of time, it looks worse.
You're right, it is not as consistent and I'm sure it really is the size of the maps that are the cause. The attention to detail in each of the areas present in Gears was pretty insane and, really, there were very few maps from the start. Plus, the game used a lot of simplistic city structures with cool landmarks strewn about within the environment to give everything a stylized feel.theBishop said:

it's a lot faster paced than gears, with a LOT more going on at once.Firewire said:
just saw the space station for the first time... jesus that thing's pretty. a lot of levels have a surprising amount of detail outside of the arenas.

dunno if you noticed, but i didn't score anything for the first few minutes. i was just wondering around trying to find a weapon and getting continually distracted by the starscape and such.Lefty42o said:

sure.Firewire said:
Played Gears lately? Gears was mindblowing a year ago but it has started to show its age. The game still looks great but UE3 as well as other rendering engines have long surpassed it. I played Gears the other day to see how it holds up to the very similar Uncharted and things like its extremely weak lighting engine and relatively lower polygon count really started to stand out. It's still one of the best looking console games out there but admittedlty more recent efforts really smoke it. As far as UT3 is concerned, it's may just not be impressing you as much as the UE3 lustre has worn off by now.theBishop said:

i didn't think we were going to turn that one around like we did.Lefty42o said:

wow this could not by so far from the truth. gears is still one of the best looking games. i play it nightly.
i think it looks very similar to ut3 and if one is better its not by much. there are no games, besides maybe crysis on a super rig, that SMOKE it. and its not fair to try to compare it to games like uncharted cause they are 2 very diff types of games.
shoot even halo 3 is up there in graphics. but to say anything smokes gears of war is just crazy talk
edit. also funny your account says last time you logged into gears of war was july. so please stop trolling.
Halvie said:
some maps are clearly better than others. and it shows. but overall i have to give ut3 the slight edge. i was highly impressed by the customization and the single player cut scenes.

have you tried warfare any? played a lil last night very fun gametype

(just FYI I've been without internet at home since then, I still play offline and next time my box gets hooked up it'll reflect that)
Sure Gears' textures are great, some of the best out there. However, playing through campaign the lighting is awful, almost non-existent and there's a disturbing lack of AF which blurs out almost everything beyond 100 paces.
Zophar said:
what, it says you played halo 3 2 days ago. the lies just keep coming. you played gears last on july 5th. halo 3 dec 9th. you only have 100 and some change in gears of war so it shows you have played it very little and likley none of the new maps.
so please just stop
next i have no issues with the af in gears. 100 feet ? the maps are not nearly that big. once again your embellishment. so stop
What textures are you looking at? I see high-res textures all over the place and they look awesome (and exactly the same as the PC version).Halvie said:
Gears had a lot of weak texture tucked in with the high-res ones, but it was done in such a way that it was easy to ignore.

Mods take time. Maps take less time, but still take time. It's not like the rare console shooter with a map builder where you just go in and drop a few things around and call it a new map. These are entirely new creations, and the program to build them is very robust, and thus quite complicated. It takes awhile.
Assuming this doesn't die an early death due to poor sales, I'd look for the first deluge of custom maps in a couple weeks, and early versions of mods to start hitting in a few months.

I think you just haven't fired up Gears in awhile, it still looks great, it's just the bar has been reaised by games like Uncharted, and Assasins Creed. Texturing is great in Unreal IMO My problem with the engine is the damn flickering shadows, and shaders tend to look a little plasticy.

have you tried adjusting the post processing effects?Dante said:

So I'm majorly pissed at the PC version right now. Whatever they did to version 1.1, it made the game stutter every time I turn in most maps. Some maps are completely okay, but most are aweful, and completely unplayable.
