gears of what?

Resistance 2 will be a big winner in november, with more and better games coming out before then, and more xboxs dying, we will def see Insomniacs as the winner. 

hopefully if ps3 sells enough units  Resistance will then out sell gears of  for jokeee. resistance is a far better game tho

Pshaw...as much as i enjoyed Resistance...it didn't hold a candle to the Multiplayer on gears...and then when COD4 came out it got washed away.

I'm hopeful but I don't see it taking down Gears 2...but having said that...I'll buy both and make my own mind up...

I thought resistance had way better campaign than gears, but gears online was realy awsome..

I take it this means the UK wont be seeing Res2, UNTILL 2159 or some thing just as insulting, but on the bright side, the US will be getting it tomorrow. Oh no, my mistake they already got it a year ago ! ! ! For those that r getting confused its called sarcasm ( with just a touch of getting sick of bein fecked up the a*$ on a regular basis ) ! ! ! ! ! !

Resistance 2 will have to be utterly perfect to beat Gears of War 2. I love both series, and I'm definitely buying both these games, but every one of you know that Gears of War is an amazing game. Resistance 2 is definitely looking really good from those screen shots, but even if it is the best FPS on PS3, Gears of War is just really fun and addictive. Anyone who says Resistance sucks are being arrogant and criticising a good game that isn't perfect, just like anyone who says Gears of War sucks is being a PS3 fanboy and not realizing a good game. Imo, Gears is better, and not much can be done about it. It's the way the cover system is, the weapons, the story. Just Gears itself

i doubt resistance 2 will out sell gears 2. just saying under a unbias thought.

Agreed inflamed, the hype machine for gears will be huge.  I think resistance may be a better game, but it wont sell more.

Cant wait. Hey PSU whats happening with the HD TV Tuner for the PS3 called PLAYTV? Will it be coming out in Australia? I cant wait till end of 2008 so much more for the PS3 I say!!!

this game is a MUST cant wait till it somes out

psn id J08hawks

I personally thought Gears was pants on-line. The single player was good and the chainsaw machine gun rocked, however I wouldnt have played it through a number of times if it wasnt for Gamerscore (sad I know).  Resistance 2 is gonna kick some butt!

gears is trying to catch up with rfom 2

@ conflict_01  LOL  you have that right, we are continually shafted in the UK and the biggest insult is we then have to pay more than everyone else!!!!!

o boy i can this is going into a  real fanboy battle this november.

I hope there is a cool cover system for Resistance 2

They will both be great games.

oh you got that right, a fanboy battle royale is  coming soon due to these AA titles coming soon. IMO gears will win due to the hype and great cover system, and bigger install base are xbox360, resistance has a better campaign but lack online play superiority over GeOW, but with this new way they are intertwine the online gameplay with 60 players online, i would like to see how they would  make this work and fun at the same time.

 

Chances  are gears is going to make their co-op campaign either 4 or 8 as well with more online but not 60 people probably 16  or 24.

 

all in all both are great games that are going to sell well from both camps from fan boy loyalists.

lol resisance will whip it away... i hop GoW2 is amazing cuuuz every thing the 360 can do the ps3 can do 3 fold

well if gears 2 is anything like gears 1 its gonna be glitchy as f@!k. but i think they are using their new updated Unreal engine which i must say isnt too impressive when compared to some of ps3's exclusive engines like naughty dogs which is a good few months old now. i think insomniac will nail it this time and hopefully show up that dreadful m$ machine. edit: the cover system in gears isnt tht great at all i found it to be ok but could easily have been done better, again i thought uncharteds was better.

oh well, atleast we know why sony kept there trap sowed up this GDC,

Very exctied about the new RFOM. I just hope Sony doesnt try to compete against themselves with KZ2.

We love you Insomniac. Keep cranking those great games.

nothing wrong with these 2 games going at each other. i do think Gears will be the better game(sells aside). but we will have to see what is done with resistance though. i think they will try to make the 60player thing have a more war like feel to it. cant wait for both games. i kinda would like to see killzone go head-to-head with gears since it also has a cover system. gears2 will not be 24 players. the game was fine with 4 on a team so ill say 16players max. too many players would ruin gears.

no offence but i would guess geow sales r double r2 simple cos there r alot more fans of geow then r2, remember geow 1 sold over 4.5 mil which is more then any game on the ps3 to date

keep in mind, gears has a far greater installed user base and is more likely to suceed in sales, dosent mean its better in anyway tho, we all know resistance 2 will be the cream of the crop

ALL in all we would have to wait and see, but I take it they both are  going to  be  taking gameplay  from each other the concept is pretty much the same, just different time zones. KillZone 2 is more likely to go up against GeOW  2  I rather  have  resistance  go up against Halo, as far as  sales numbers, i'm guessing 450,000 @ launch. with  resistance  and 700,000 for GeOW.

@ Naucious23, november is when the truely big games shine, this Nov COD4 sold 1.59mil so my guess is Geow2 will sell 2mil minimum in november 08 and Resistence will sell around 700k. Just a guess

not like i care about gears 2. resistance 2 will be good. MGS4 will be awesome.

if they dont have a lot of adVerisin for RFOM2 then GoW2 will rock RFOM2 sales because they have a lot of hype on dat game.........GoW2 will probably outsell but i hate crashbox so F**k them

It is nice, the direction they are trying to take with online gaming. However, they need to remember those who either do not have an internet hook up or have a slow internet to work with.  Gears only had two player deathmatch offline. I was hardly impressed with that. We've been through Perfect Dark/GoldenEye, TimeSplitters, Halo. How is a four player deathmatch offline not standard in FPSs. These are the little things that could put one game atop the other. I think that both will be good games, but let's not put them in the realm of the greatest if they truly do not live up to it.

WE KNOW that  how cares remeber killzone 2 isnt out yet 360 is for a bashing this time hey wait we have haze also.hahahahahaha

the difference in these to giants games would be graphics.

Personally, I think that Resistance will be the better game, but I doubt that it will sell more than Gears. Even if 2008 is the year of the PS3, though it could be close with enough hype and a larger install base.

All of u guys know that gow2 will win in sales by a mile, im not taking sides but i realy love Rfom2 i think its a great game but gow2 has everything behind its back, it has a huge fan basis, and marketing stratagies plus it has microsoft pumping out millions to make it win i dont know how Rfom2 will fare against this respectable opponent but i know that this will b a great fight. P.S MGS4 will still b #1 in my book

Even though I'm a PS3 guy, I will admit that there is no way in the world that Resistance 2 is going to outsell Gears of War 2. Gears of War 2 sold over 3 million copies in 10 weeks and it sold 4.5 million copes total.

For some reason, a lot of people bashed on the first Resistance and didn't really think it was a good shooter, but I really liked it. If Resistance 2 wants to even have a chance of outselling Gears of War 2, more PS3's will have to be sold.

I think that a lot of PS3 gamers just aren't into the whole Shooter thing in games, especially Japanese gamers. The Playstation consoles have never really been known for top selling shooters though. I'm not putting down Resistance 2, or Sony I'm just telling the truth. The only PS3 game that I think even has a chance of outselling Gears 2 this year is Metal Gear Solid 4.

But hopefully Resistance 2 will get a good reception by PS3 gamers. It's one of the PS3's biggest games this year, so it should get a good reception.

What the h@ll is he talking about "self-congratulatory" announcements? He feels that that game developers really care about the HD movie format war?

If they had equal installed bases, Resistance would win.

 

Unfortunately they dont, and they wont.

Does it really matter if you are getting both like me<>Yeah for me<>Year for GeOW 2 and for R2!!! Great year of games for sure...

hahahahahahaha, resistance 2 might try and stand toe-to-toe against gears 2, but expect a first round KO of resistance 2 by gears 2 after about 15 seconds, lol. There is no possible way that resistance could topple gears. Fanboys please take 5 cause you're living in fantasy land if you think resistance > Gears is possible.

I thought Reistance had a better story line than Gears personally however I will say the online was better due to the cover system. However, it wasn't like RFoM's online was a complete waste either. I put in hours of good times. Its just RFoM's online is more old school run and gun where as gears had a bit of a sneak element to it.

go resistence

I'm sorry, but as good as Resistance 2 is, it will not outsell Gears. Gears is just like Halo. The biggest game on the box, and Sony has a lot of huge titles. Not trying to troll anything, but this is my take on it. I personally am rooting for Resistance 2 though.

Resistance 2 will crush gears. Wtf are they gunna do with a cube of meat.

Unfortunately, all this great news Sony is getting with Phil Harrison gone I feel much has been lost.

psn id: gingo.... of course these two titles will go toe to toe becasue they are the best biggest selling exclusives on each platform (obv except halo) so it will be an interesting time when both of these titles appear

Wow so if they release the same month thats ok , but if its the same day it would be nice for the sales of both. But having more players online i think resistance 2 will win on that as for single player gameplay gears 2 may win, single player story both games may win.

I see GOW2 selling more if MS knows how to do something it's buidl hype (remeber Halo 3), Sony will really need to plan out marketing like crazy. Also for those who said the GOW had a great online I despised it, really I never saw it as anything good, but then again I did play Resistance 1 before that and got used to the 40 player online. I doubt that GOW2 will have a better online than Resistance 2 or a better storyline (last one was pretty short compared to Resistance), but hype will play a big factor

I believe that Resistance 2 will be better that gears of war 2....look how many things they have upgraded(from 2player coop to 8!, from 40 players online to 60, even from 1 campaign to 2 full campaigns)gears of war 2 hasn't upgraded -NOTHING!(just as halo the same game but with a different story), but i still think gears of war 2 will win because in the other hand there are more fanboys of gears of war than resistance.....I LOVE GEARS OF WAR TOO!, but people always see some games as the big thing(just like halo=the game is slow pase and it gets really boring if u play it like 2 hours staight-HALO)....people just see resistance as another FPS......i remember that someone told me once that resistance is a replica of halo.....i even cried laughing!LOL

I have never played Gears of war  but It seemed to be a pretty ok game I wont bash it.  But Insomniac sets the bar really high and have almost the best understanding of any developers out there I really beleave that they can make this game epic.

R2 to compete with GOW2? not a chance GOW2 will sells more history will repeat itself. it my just prediction.

gears of whorezz 2

Even though I didn't like the first Gears of War, it really is very out of Resistance's league IMO.

Insomniac’s team can make this game even better than Gears2.  Its going to be a good fight!!  Go Insomniac!!!!!!!!

 

Talking as a someone thats played both games - i'd take Resistance anyday. Resistance 2 is gonna be amazing.. cant wait :)

Resistance 2 will undoubtably be better than Gears 2. Graphics and gameplay, and story.

hmm, i didnt think it was resistance2 vs gears 2, but God of War 3 vs Gears of War 2, both coming out around this winter... seriously think about it.... GoW3 vs GoW2....

Anyother smack-talker that Sony does not need right now.

Am I the only one who feels we are comparing apples and oranges??  Resistance is a FIRST-PERSON SHOOTER!!!  Gears is a THIRD-PERSON SHOOTER!!!  Two different playing styles of the Shooter genre.  Personally, I had more fun playing Resistance than Gears, although I haven't really enjoyed many games from Epic (including Unreal Tournament III).

ok i love both games but will be buying RFOM2 mainly for the campaign. I dont see where people say that gears had a better online play? gears only hd 3 game types and 8 players?????????????? I just this gears is a better shooter and the cover system is so great fun and easy to use. anyways i cant wait to add these two gmes to my inventory

I know both games are great but the Unreal Engine has a magical power. It is tough to beat.

f the x box

GeoW was fun online 4 about 3 weeks and I neva actually finshed the whole game but beat final boss and it sucked.Thought rfom wasnt too great either cuz 25-30 shots are needed to kill a chimera. But geow story is nonexistent.

resistance2 will be better but 360 has more fanboys dont argue just buy resistance2

Resistance will probably be better game wise, but Gears will win the battle.  You can't really go toe-to-toe with a game built on an FPS machine.  Shooters just feel right on the 360.  Could Killzone 2 possibly add to the fray?  Interesting...

as much as i love smugging something in xbox faces gears is a totally diffrent game 1st peson to 3rd person isnt in the same league as one another. gears is unrivaled and resistance will be when it comes out.

Well i love Rsistance and I will definately be gett Resistance 2 but I don't think it will beat Gears Of War... The Xbox just has a bigger install base and everyone that has an Xbox will be getting Gears 2 even if it's just to "beat" the PS3... So unless ALL the PS3 owner get Resistance 2 it won't be much of a battle especially in th U.S... But else where in the world where M$ doesn't have the market by the balls it will be very interesting to see who comes out on top....

Can i be honest without causing any flame wars against sony fanboyism as it's not intended in any shape or form, though i really place ps3 no1 in the next gen console war and believe ps3 will win the console war, but though i liked (RFOM) and thought the multiplayer was very good and the SP was good it's not in (gows) league this game has the best graphics i've ever seen on a console, the multiplayer was it's best asset especially with the chainsaw kills and the tactics needed to play it, the SP was good especially the hammer of dawn weapon and ability to cut the locusts in half awesome game, and i'm looking forward to both titles though my xb360 is now gathering dust in the corner since i bought my ps3 at launch.

i just think  killzone would  be a  better match because it has a cover  system  to compete with  GeoW2  which is  a third person  shooter. Actuality they  shouldn't  go  up against  each other  at all  because their different genres. I'm  not saying which game will be better but when it comes to selling GeoW will sell more due to a large  base of 360 fans and install  base, like i said first day @  launch Resistance  450,000, GeOW  2   700,000, dont think it's going to top the 1.5 million  at launch like  Halo 3  did.

Remember when Killzone first came out and everyone said that it was going to be a Halo killer and it never happened. Get ready for the sequal. I always said Resistance was a rip off of GoW and now the world will see it.
