Gears utterly crushes every announced PS3 title. Visually.

yes no problem. !

Nice.

So 360 is the first console to have 1080p (even if it' s " fake" 1080p), the native ability to play video from CD/DVD' s and stream video from a PC natively without the use of Media Center?!

Nice.

The multiplayer in Gears looks very washed out. That being said, it is mostly the
locust horde that lack serious colour, the humans seem to have a lot more colour
than their alien counterparts. Multi-player does look like fun, even if it' s nothing
revolutionary, I think the emphasis was on fun here.

I have become a queasy gamer, and the way the dead players bits move about
when they are kicked around after they are dead is disgusting. They look like real
nasty burnt bits of meat.[:' (]

There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.

Wimp.

Why do people call 1080p for 360 " fake" ,the 360 guy said,HDMI is just one way to get to 1080p,learn your facts.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

I' ll make sure to play with dead bits of your player Majik...

and don' t expect me to save you in the " down-but-not-out" but expect a firm curb
stomp (is that allowed?).

Also, when the " Hammer of Dawn" goes wrong.... hehe

I' LL BE THERE!!!!

So what if I' m a wimp.

...AAA true next-gen must have... ...and another nail in the PC multiplayer coffin....

The " down-but-not-out" stage....

Why do they bleed so excessively?? I' ve never seen so much blood in a game.

Well, maybe Kameo...

Blood is good! They wanted ti to be an extremely gritty violent game and I think they' ve pulled it off.

Why do people call 1080p for 360 " fake" ,the 360 guy said,HDMI is just one way to get to 1080p,learn your facts.

Because it' s fake.

It' s nothing to do with the cables.

A 1080p scene would weigh in at about 8MB and 360 uses the 10MB eDRAM as a frame buffer, but you have to have the next image in the buffer at all times... ...so you need at least 16mb for the internal frame buffer. 8 for the outgoing scene and 8 for the one next one. You can' t double buffer because there isn' t enough space.

They could use predictive tiling but there are issues with it...

...basically the 360 would render the first tile to the eDRAM. MSAA and a few other effects are applied in the eDRAM, and then the finished tile would be written to the GDDR-3 memory. The GPU would then sends the next tile to eDRAM, which repeats the previous function and write the next tile to the GDDR-3. This would continue until all of the tiles are in GDDR-3 making the frame complete and it would then sent to and displayed on your TV.

That would be tricky because each frame would take too long to render and the framerate would be severely affected.

What they will to is upscale using the scaler chip. It won' t make much difference but it' s not " true" 1080p. It' s " fake" .

Yeah, it does look really cool. I' m lucky i' ve pre-ordered since it' s probably gonna sell out quite fast. The games for PS3 look great, but after seing the Killzone video 2005 my expentations where high. And they weren' t met by long. Although I think that the PS3 is a slow starting console that is going to rule, maybe 2008.

Anyone know if it' ll be possible to control veichles in the multiplayer part of the game? Just saw some of the vids from it and thought it looked fun, however if there are no crafts, then I' ll definately not be getting it.

There are no crafts in MP in GoW.


I think crafts in MP is generately very overrated, it fits some games like battlefield, but GoW goes for a more counterstrike approach, where it just wouldnt fit!

For me it' s a necessesity, with fps multiplayer games, these days. It' s all Halos fault, which i think wouldn' t have been as fun as it was in multiplayer, without the warthog.

But in worst case scenario, the game doesn' t have veichles than I can let it slide if it has some impressive physics. So the next question is, does it?

BTW: I found GRAW boring as hell on Live

Very true, Unless it has a gameplay system like Quake 3 (which it obviously hasnt), it will fall flat on its feet..

GOW does has its own cover / hide system which could make GOW multiplayer tho, Console shooter fans should find it a blast to play. (it does look q good system, anyway)

Umm... I don' t understand how guy guys think the Gears multiplayer could be bad whether it has vehicles or not. Everyone that' s played it is blown away by it I haven' t read one impression where a person says it' s any less than great.

It looks really fun to me too! i mix of CS, R6 and Doom. very nice!

Alright, then I' m not the only one. I love the single player, but I' m not sure it transfers well to online. I' ll give it a few more tries, maybe it' ll grow on me, but I' m just not seeing anything amazing.

**wonders what Gears will look like in 1080p**

I swear its not going to be display in 1080p, PLUS you will only see the benefits if you have a 50inch BEAST.

Rest in PEACE Cetra and GANGSTA you guys will be missed..........

mm... I don' t understand how guy guys think the Gears multiplayer could be bad whether it has vehicles or not. Everyone that' s played it is blown away by it I haven' t read one impression where a person says it' s any less than great.

Firstly, I haven' t tested it so I do not know wether it is fun or not, only going by my usual preferences.

Secondly, I am not " Everyone"

Also I did say I think it looks like fun (though all I have seen is videos of people playing the game), but even so it doesn' t seem like enough fun for me, to have it last a very long time, which the Halo multiplayer did for me.

If they arent any vehicles i will be hurt but i dont think Gears will be as interesting as Lost Planet anyway.

I think having mechs gives lost planet the one up on gears

Lost planet certainly has less hype, but It does look as good in my opinion.
