Great vid. That swarm didn't look that great though. But I gotta say, those r the best water effects I've seen & the destuctible effects were real good too.

Maybe one day I will have enough money to own both systems.
As for the engine upgrade I am impressed but will be even more impressed if non Epic studios will reap the same results.

3.1 - are u dreaming or something
the 100 enemies that you saw were assigned some Batch AI and didnt look realistic . Those 100 enemies were basically white patch of swarm if you say.If you want 1000 enemies on screen then look at this

http://www.gametrailers.com...

also look at the SDK demo of Getaway from SONY last year

It had 750 enemies on screen.

which part of the DEMO looks as good as Crisis /KZ2?

I am not being fanboyish but just tell me

Haven't seen those types of physics in Killzone 2(soft body, water, lighting, destructible environments). Gears of war has already proven itself as a great game, so most of us know that Gears 2 will be something else. Can't say that about the overhyped Heavenly Sword or the first, also overhyped but better, Killzone. I'm pretty sure Gears of war 2 will be THE shooter of 2008.

remember, this will be dumbed down a little for your precious xbox. The PC version will look the best, the next epic ps3 title second, and gow2 third. We should all be happier though, because the most used engine is advancing, weather or not you have the best hardware to use it. :)

PS: umm....the water looked so/so. The ripples were too under-dramatic for the size of the objects interacting. But i guess its better than nothing... I would say uncharted's water looks nicer, so does crysis. But Unreal isn't about water, so it shouldn't matter too much. It will look nice for small puddles. The destructible environments looked pretty, but killzone is doing things like that with much better lighting. I would say the best part of unreal3 engine is the fact that the performance on non specialized PCs is very good with everything it does, as opposed to crysis that looks great, but runs like crap. This new engine version looks to improve graphics by a little, on an already proven engine.

I'm talking console shooters, not console games in general or PC games. The demo you saw was running on a 360 so I don't see why it has to be dumbed down. Uncharted has some cool water effects and is a great game. I have to say I was a bit disappointed though. My friend bought a PS3 a couple of days ago and also got Uncharted. Again the water looks stunning, especially on the first stage. What isn't that great is the anti-aliasing. There are lots of jaggies in the textures, and the motion blur when you move the camera isn't that appealing. The controls could need some work as well. Aiming the gun felt kinda floaty and not as good as in many other third person shoot/cover games (GoW, RB6, Graw etc). Still a good game, only not as good as I would expect after reading the PS3 fanboys endless praises. If it was a 360 game I would give it 8/10.

what you saw was running on a Xbox 360 (he says that in de video)

though a PS3 shouldn't have a hard time to run it too, since Epic optimized UE3 for PS3 to run UT3

10.1 - i'd reckon it is.
since they used gears to display it, and it's already in the code, it'd be a real pisser if they were just teasing us.

I think it's safe to say this was a quick glimpse of the new gears.

11 - What
People need to keep in mind is that Epic absolutely has to show in Gears of War 2 the improvements and how expandable Unreal Engine 3 is. It only benefits thier partners, and lisencees. So Gears doing well works in everyone's favor. They are going to show their ass with this game...Damn it's a great time to own the box..

Cliffy is having a field day desinging part two with destructable enviornments, water effects, and hordes of enemies. We are going to have vehicles on all types of terrain, which makes the story that much more enjoyable. There's no doubt they've thought this game out, and have learned from Bungie with what happened with Halo 2. Microsoft won't allow anything less. Then you add my main man from Fight Night, who is a great developer in his own right to the team. I expect greatness as a gamer.

All they did was run straight forward and many got stuck running into the car or whatever it was at the bottom of the screen. There was not any intelligence put there at all. The number was nice but all they were told to do was run forward.

it was just a demonstration of crowd technology, that's it. He didn't say that they were implementing any AI into the demonstration. Stop looking for something to complain about. It was just a demonstration of new tech that's in the Unreal Engine. They weren't demonstrating a fully functional game.

Guys, remember that isn't Gears 2, that's Gears 1 in Multiplayer using the updated engine to do all those effects, you can tell that's Gridlock. The new stuff looks great though, the water is really good and finally some good destructible environments!
