these have been reported to be new pics but i swear that they look familiar, maybe similar to some of the first pics that surfaced. if anyone can find a link to a site that has had these pics long before let me know, if not then enjoy.

most??? whatchatalkingabout? only the first two are artwork the other five are ingame screenshots... same as the ones at gamersreports....

cant tell

the 2 bottom ones look like they could be paintings, out of the 6 newly added ones. Maybe Im seeing things, lol

I bet its that John Wallin guy who also did the concept art for Gears, if infact any of these new ones are drawings.

Edit: we are all looking at different sites so they arent arranged in the same order.

game better have daylight, cos all the way through dark levels might piss me off.

oh, did someone mention jaggy

swear to god! if PS3 don't have jaggys or atleast 8xAA, i'll get rid of my X360

in these shots (most of them) look at the tree's, artists don't "draw" tree's like that... they do however build them in 3dsMax that way..

He's probably reffering to the 1080p and 120 frames per second PS3 version of Tetris.
I had no idea it was going to run at 8xAA

Ok now I'm sold, I'm buying a PS3!

shit! I forgot about Tetris quadruple HDBS @ 120fps!

silly me!

to the corner I go!!

The PS3 might see even less AA because there is no EDRAM and AA will take an FPS hit from anywhere between 10 to 30%, which is way too much for a dev trying to squeeze the most out of the graphics.

For the 360 taking 4X MSAA is only a matter of learning how to master the EDRAM, after that its almost free sailing.

And indeed, Gears of War will set the standard in graphics for the 360 in more ways than one. And as a bonus it looks like its a kickass game with innovative elements. Kinda like a gritty, futuristic max payne 2 with less ninja jumping. And thats all good.

FSAA is not free on 360.
It requires using a technique that costs in terms of functionality and cpu time.
Granted switching FSAA on and off does not change the frame rate BUT in order to switch FSAA you HAVE to have the technique I mention above beforehand which DOES cost a LOT.

so their statement about it being free whilst strictly, supportable in court true, is false in reality

My MS source tells me he contacted Epic and those pics are about a year old. He also says New, never seen b4 pics are about to be released in the near future(that could mean anything though, lol).

They say that the game will come out in the "near future" so that doesn't mean anything

. hopefully it means "nearrer future" than the game.
