Those are Gamespots caps? My how times have changed since back when the PS2 launched you couldn't find worse caps on the net than Gamespots.

I agree whole-heartedly... The art direction of some (most?) of the environments is awesome! Reality from that time meets sci-fi with a dash of Comics/Anime... The whole cross-reality stuff is really cool looking... I can't wait to see this Friday on my own personal TV
I agree.Onix said:
Despite being very impressed with Gears, I still think Resistance looks incredibly good in its own way. Technically speaking, things are more even than I thought. Prior to release, I had expected Gears to offer a fully unified lighting model (early demos featured it), but the final game does not. Same deal with Resistance.
Resistance seems to be pushing more geometry detail overall, but with less complex texturing and a very different look.

Wow, those new screens are impressive. I don't remember the game looking this good, the enviorments are realy impressive.
Come the **** on. The character models in GOW look great.

You're just being cynical. You can count the number of games with better character models on one hand.dark10x said:

Which only says something about how slow next gen games are coming along visually.

Which doesn't diminsh from the achievement EPIC has made with the great character models in GOW.SolidSnakex said:

Gears of War looks freakin' phenomenal. No need to downplay hard work and visual bars achieved by devs here.
HomerSimpson-Man said:
I think some people are just upset that this game seems to not be getting recognition for its visuals.
While the style is vastly different (and many would say subdued, or at least not as in your face as GoW), it seems to be an impressive technical achievement.
Gears of Wars is a short, tightly packed and intense experience, both gameplay vise and visually.
Resistance seems to be going for another approach with an expansive, more moderate/subdued approach to things.
Gears just jumps out at you graphically and makes you say wow from the getgo, while Resistance seems like one of those games that looks pretty good at the start and builds gradually. All of a sudden you just wonder, "When did this game start looking so good?"
Out of the two, Gears is the better looking title to most people, but Resistance is certainly no slouch. With that, I just ask if we can chill with the comparisons a bit? It takes the focus away from a great, upcoming game.

Very true, especially the last thing you mention. It's too hard to compare the games , they're just compeltely different gameplay experiences from what I've seen and played (I've only played GoW) so far.

if i had a ps3 i'd get this game for sure, but comparing ign reviews to GOW it seems that GOW is a better game. i will buy both for sure and make up my own mind, but for now, i'm calling that gow is better, I never would have thought that before, but it seems that gears of war will have higher overall reviews i bet.......
i know it's silly to compare graphics because gow has smaller areas and screams polish, whereas resistance has bigger areas, but i just watched some videos and resistance just doesn't seem all that great grahpically because they focused on bigger environments and stuff, the ps3 should be able to handle huge nevironments as well as gow like graphics if it is really more powerful than 360

And even i am moderately surprised
first thing i tried when i saw them... you can't unfortunately.
i've played nothing of Gears (i've actually seen nothing other than the Mad World trailer) and i'm bored of the comparisons already! Both seem to be great games, i don't see why one has to be a winner and one a loser (other than for the obvious reason).

It's too bad that the B&W cutscenes are just stills and turn to color before there's any movement
Such a cool look.

And the poop just keeps piling on. Can't you monkeys tell that it's done and over with? If you're comparing these games and throwing around these arguments now, then you missed the boat. Better get a ticket now for the next game showdown, yeah?

Yeah, thought they would go with a stock video look as opposed to just still images. That would have been pretty sweet.

If the whole game had a filter like that...I think that would be fvckin' rock.
Good thing you haven't because apparently once you play Gears, you'll never want to play any other videogame ever again!DCharlie said:
My copy should be arriving tomorrow but I'm thinking I should probably keep it wrapped until at least 2010 at which point I won't have to worry about missing out on the better parts of this gen thanks to GOWgoggles.

Hey everyone,
Thanks for all the support you have given us. As a small thank you, we wanted to make sure you guys saw this video first! This is the full hedgehog demo as given by Ted Price - recently recorded at Insomniac.
We're releasing it via YouTube, but wanted to ensure you guys knew it was up first.

kaching said:jstevenson, you guys wouldn't happen to be throwing that time-freeze debug mode in as a easter egg, would you?
It'd be cool, but unfortunately no - the debug options got removed for memory purposes AND because that code would be bad to have in the game with multiplayer matches being so important as far as exploits go. We definitely want to promote a competitive and fair MP environment.

Haven't you learned yet? This is GAF. There is NEVER going to be any moving on going on around here. For some reason there always has to be a "console war." In fact, whoever coined that word sucks.

Hehe go easy on him, according to his post history he's not trolling any other PS3 threads and to tell you the truth imo a troll is a repeated offender. Some people really can't see the difference between a game that has 40 models on screen in a huge enviroment with a ton of things happening at once and a game that can only has 8 models tops in confined enviroments. The games are simply not comparable, not to mention this is a Resistance thread not a PS3 vs X360 thread.

Exactly. We need this kind of vids in 720p not youtube quality. Anyway jstevenson thanks for the vid man.

Hey guys. I'm playing through Resistance right now. I'm starting to find that encounters are wildly easier or harder depending on the weapon I decide to use. I've found some encounters vastly easier after switching weapons, and I even find that some weapons make the encounter nigh impossible.
Using the strengths of each weapon is pretty much required, and it's nice that every time you pick up a weapon, you get a short blurb about where it comes from, and how to use it.
My current favorite weapons:

Using the strengths of each weapon is pretty much required, and it's nice that every time you pick up a weapon, you get a short blurb about where it comes from, and how to use it.
My current favorite weapons:
1) Air Fuel Grenade. A sticky mine that spews flammable gas in a wide area, and then ignites. Very cool stuff.
2) Bullseye. I started a bit lukewarm on this gun, but as I got used to it, the more I loved it. You tag guys with L1, and then you can run back to cover and shoot around corners to hit them. Earlier in the game, I used it by tagging the weak spot on a Stalker (big four legged spider tank), and then fired wildly, confident that each shot would hit its target. VERY AWESOME.
3) L23 Fareye. Using L1, you "focus" allowing you to slow down time, making head shots that much easier. It's so gratifying to slow down time, land a head shot, and then dodge out of the way of fire as you see it slowly come towards you.

:lol
They're all early weapons, so it's not a huge deal if you read them. I just wanted to be safe.
EDIT: One thing I really really like, is the way they explain EVERYTHING, even why the health meter is the way it is. They factor it into the story. They explain what each item is, including health packs and such. It really draws you into the story that much more.

Wow, I've been thinking of a visual effect like that in my head for a while now. Kind of like you see this b&w picture, it starts moving and slowly you see it fill with color. (similar to the Venom suit stuff in spider-man). Is there a video where they show this off?SolidSnakex said:
