Thanks Mentok that just makes me gitty with joy, have you even watched it yet or do you refuse to. I figure most of my fellow Hypers are Xbox fanboys so they don't want to watch it.

Okay Fenrir, the reason why I took those Resistance screens is because supposedly thats how the game looked a couple of weeks ago, however Insomniac told me they look entirley diffrent now because they now are putting in their lighting system which makes the enviornments more real and more depth to them and more erie.

The reason why I made Gears of War a huge picture and not a small one is because I did it the same size as the Resistance screenshots and it looked horrible, the textures were very sketchy and very ugly. So I decided to keep it large because the game looks more beautiful and was a better comparison in representing what the game actually looks like.

As for the screens you pulled out was Resistance from E3, and I will admit Resistance looked sweet but Gears had the upper hand. So I posted more recent pics and thats how you are able to compare them. Resistance has definatley improved a ton over the next two months and expect the graphics to look a ton lot better when the game ships.

Those screen shots aren't even polished yet.

I am not questioning your reasoning for posting bigger pictures of Gears, my friend. I am questioning your reasoning for posting smaller pictures of Resistance which conveniently hide many of the comparitive visual inferiorities of the game readily apparent in bigger pictures and then claiming that it somehow looks better than Gears.

Uhhh, no, E3 was in early May but those screens are from late July, more than 2 and a half months difference and there's barely (if any) noticeable differences between how Resistance looked 3 months ago and how it looks now.

Those screen shots aren't even polished yet.

What effect would that have on how good the actual game looks?

Well when Insomniac polished a game that means they put all of their efforts into making the graphics look amazing, how Insomniac works is they make the game and don't put any effort into the graphics at all because they focuse more so on gameplay and other features before they finalize the graphics. Everything you see now is just place holders. Then in about a month an 1/2 or a month they polish the graphics and make them superb. So everthing that we are seeing so far is just rough drafts of what the final game will look like. Or at least thats what i'm assuming.

And no those pictures that you are saying are from July are actually from E3, they just took the picture and now are posting them. Trust me, they are from E3 with no work done on them. And the game looks way better than that so technically when you said I was cherry picking which I guess I sort of was, thats kind of what you did to. No offense.

However the reason why I took small screens is because thats they way that they are formated and thats the way that I did Gears of War too. If you blow up the images of Resistance they don't loose the quality either. I just don't know how to blow them up to Gears of War size. I try in Microsoft word but when I upload them to my photobucket they don't appear there.

But really I'm done comparing the two games, they both have awesome qualities. Personally I think they will balance eachother out. Resistance might have phenominal gameplay or a story, better weapons and Gears might have better graphics and all that jazz. But remember what Zenien said Gears sacrifices a lot to get those beautiful graphics. Cliffy B. said that the max amount of people on screen that you fight with would be about 8 people where in Resistance you have like 18-32 people. And on top of the you have tons of explosions building crushing, smoke effects, debris, awesome hero moments.

^JUST know I don't know a lot about Gears of War so I couldn't refer to anything so could someone help me out with what Gears offers? But yeah and like avalanche said, Gears is a second gen game and Resistance is a launch title. I personally think that maybe i'm taking it a little too far saying that Resistance looks better than Gears of war but I think Gears is not going to look that much better when it hits shelves then Resistance. I think they both are going to look almost the same.

And thats what I like, Resistance is a launch and Gears is a second gen game. There are also a ton of advantages that not a lot of you guys know about for Gears.

Gears has been in development since 2004, Resistance has been in development for only seven months. Thats seven months to a game thats been in development for 2 and 1/2 years. Thats what I find so awesome is that Resistance looks this great and will continue until they launch.

Even so, Resistance doesn't look anywhere near as impressive as Gears of War, let alone better.

And no those pictures that you are saying are from July are actually from E3, they just took the picture and now are posting them. Trust me, they are from E3 with no work done on them. And the game looks way better than that so technically when you said I was cherry picking which I guess I sort of was, thats kind of what you did to. No offense.

No, I didn't cherrypick. I went to IGN's website and picked the latest screens for BOTH games and posted them here. I have no reason to be selective like that while you apparently do since by the content of you post you're obviously quite favorably disposed towards this game a lot moreso than others.

However the reason why I took small screens is because thats they way that they are formated and thats the way that I did Gears of War too. If you blow up the images of Resistance they don't loose the quality either. I just don't know how to blow them up to Gears of War size. I try in Microsoft word but when I upload them to my photobucket they don't appear there.

I said that because the smaller images of Resistance you posted hide the graphical inadequacies of the game I've seen in other videos and pics of the game such as lack of detail, bland textures and not-so-impressive lighting.

But really I'm done comparing the two games, they both have awesome qualities. Personally I think they will balance eachother out. Resistance might have phenominal gameplay or a story, better weapons and Gears might have better graphics and all that jazz. But remember what Zenien said Gears sacrifices a lot to get those beautiful graphics.

And on top of the you have tons of explosions building crushing, smoke effects, debris, awesome hero moments.

Personally speaking, what Zenien (whoever he is) said about Gears is nothing but petty and useless semantics to me when speaking of which game ultimately looks better and in this case, it is Gears of War.

^JUST know I don't know a lot about Gears of War so I couldn't refer to anything so could someone help me out with what Gears offers? But yeah and like avalanche said, Gears is a second gen game and Resistance is a launch title.

Still, I don't see how that compensates for the fact that Gears looks better than Resistance. Period. And Lizard, dude, you really seem passionate about Resistance and it's all fine and good, but it's very much pointless trying to argue with anyone with empty words like "the game will look better than Gears of War when it launches" if you don't have any screens or trailers to back it up with.

Resistance:
'

GeOW:


There isnt really much difference, only gears is shinier.

 

[Avalanche]

GoW just looks much more moody. Moody games always look better. Resistance looks bland.

 

[THE LIZARD#1]

Hey Freniri I think you might want to re-read my post and then I'll answer yours.

 

[THE LIZARD#1]

Hey did anyone at E3 even get to play Gears of War? I mean the only people I know who got to are people who are working on the game.

 

[Mr. Credible]

gears of war looks much, much better. i don't like the "bullet proof couch" though.

resistance looks okay, not bad, not great, but i think it'll be a pretty sweet game. i'm really looking forward to the weapons.

 

[Fenrir]

Here's my post from another thread:

That's an unfair comparison. The Resistance images aren't even half the size of the Gears of War image, which conveniently hides any lack of detail or the apparent lower resolution of the textures in Resistance. And I honestly think you're cherrypicking here because those images of Resistance are the only ones I've seen that look at least half-decent while the gameplay videos of Gears of War clearly shows it is much stronger in the visuals area than Gears.

Here's the latest screens of both Gears and Resistance from IGN:

Resistance

Gears of War

As you can see, Gears obviously has better lighting, greater detail and sharper textures. Not to mention the fact that Gears is widely hailed as one of the best-looking upcoming games on any platform ( ) while Resistance has so far been barely a blip on the radar or a ripple in the water.

 

[Topdawg]

but were comparing it to a launch game that has been in production for only seven months. and GeOW is a 2nd gen 360 game.

 

[THE LIZARD#1]

GoW just looks much more moody. Moody games always look better. Resistance looks bland.

But like you said, Resistance is a launch and you can't compare launch with a 2nd gen game. But who cares really? I like Resistance and everyone else like Gears of War. I think Resistance has the potential to match Gears of War's graphical power. However it seems everyone is getting mad at me for having that opinion that i'm so rightfully entitled to.

Why is it that people can never understand the concept you like what you like and I like what I like, and my opinion is I think Resistance will look a lot better when it hits store shelves.

 

[THE LIZARD#1]

Personally why are we arguing? I find it pointless to compare these two games the more you think about it, Resistance is a first person shooter, Gears of War is a third-person. So that means....You get what i'm saying.

I'm pretty sure Gamespot and just about every journalist from a major gaming publication or website has tried Gears of War E3. It was playable there.

Dude, I'm not mad at you, just expressing disagreement over your claim of Resistance looking better than Gears when it clearly doesn't. Nothing personal.

In fairness, I won't enjoy either of them. I have a ver specific few genres I like to play, and they're generally not the most popular genres within this forum. Fighters, racers and RPGs are pretty much my thing, with the odd adventure thrown in on occasion.

Cool that makes me happy, everyone else on here thought makes it personal, like Manny and Axid, they sort of take it very seriously and get very personale with it.

Yeah man Fenrir man I think its tight that you like Gears of War and hopefully its everything you want it to be, and "Welcome to The Hype" I thought you were a veteran here lol just by the way you talked and stuff so sorry I didn't give you the welcome to the boards.

Anyways thanks for clearing up that Gears of War was playable, everytime I see it they *Microsoft* is playing it and fans are just watching it. Thats cool that people got to play it at E3.

Yeah thats the same with me, I don't like that many games and thats why i'm going overboard with Resistance because its a game that interests me to the extent of being able to be compared with my anticipation for Spider-Man 3. I mean I don't get games like this often that have an intense story behind it and lots of originality with weapons and creatures. I love everything Resistance has to offer and I know that its going to deliever on all fronts in the first person shooter genre. Its going to be a AAA title just like Gears is going to be for Third-Person shooters.

No worries, man. Even though I feel it doesn't look as impressive as Gears of War, I'll most probably give Resistance a try just to see how well Insomniac did with their first foray into the FPS genre.

Sorry dude I thought I offended you in our last joke argument and got the vibe that you didn't like me that much so I was keeping my distance.
