Here at Blend Games we’ve always had a
penchant for rivalries and game-related match-ups. You might remember the battle between
Metroid Prime 3 and Halo 3? Or perhaps the tug-of-war between Free Radical’s
Haze and Bungie’s Halo 3? Well we’re at it again. This time it’s none other than
Gears of War 2 and Resistance: Fall of Man 2. So, we welcome you to this three
round bout between two of fall’s biggest exclusives. Both Microsoft and Sony are pulling out the
stops for the Xbox 360 and PS3's first-party action games, and neither game is seeking to
disappoint. So let’s not waste time and get right to what everyone came here to find out: which
game, so far, looks like it’ll prove to be the better game?
Round 1: Who has the better E3 trailer?
Coming off one of the biggest events of the year, namely E3, gamers are usually more psyched about an
upcoming title rather than any other time of the year. E3 trailers are also the perfect prerequisite for
getting gamers geeked over the upcoming holiday season. As I always say, a well placed ad or a
kick-butt clip will speak volumes over any interview or fact sheet. And both Epic and Insomniac
have released their respective E3 trailers, designating how cool each game could be. Neither
game, though, has an E3 trailer that definitively displays all the features that will be
present in the final product, but both do a good job of showcasing why both games are highly
anticipated.
For this round there isn’t much of a point in dictating who wins, given that readers will be doing
the voting. However, I would like to point out that Resistance 2 shows a purview of
amazing colors and atmospheric clarity in its trailer. The following R2 trailer also does a
good job of showing players what sort of environments they will be traversing...and it has a
general cinematic feel to the presentation of the trailer. Gears of War 2 , on the other
hand, shows off more gameplay elements – like using enemies for cover fire, or showing off the
massive amount of characters that can be on the screen at once. The following Gears 2
trailer also introduces gamers to the new lighting system Epic has appended to the Unreal
Engine. After viewing the trailers be sure to vote for which game has the better E3 trailer below.

R2 is stupid mindless and has no objective in its online play besides kill the other team....while gears of war 2 has a objective in its online play(submission,king of the hill,annex,). The story mode in Gears of War2 is taking it slow but eventually it will get into deeper detail. R2 has the same old alien attack plot. Also Gears has amazing graphics which blows the fucking crap outta R2. Gears of War is also a game to be played for tournaments(MLG).
lol. Most people who have commented on here are idiots.
(i havnt played GEW btw - so i wont comment on it)
Simple facts: ps3 hardware / software pwns the 360.
GEW and resistance are 2 different games. 3ps to fps. can not compare fairley.
resistance - IF any of you GOW people have played it seriousloy - DOES take alot of skill / stratagy.
resistance - The game is grey - yes! thats how its ment to be DUH. To show how dark the game really is.
resistance - A hell of alot of thought has gone into it
resistance - most unique current fps in terms of gameplay and how wep's work
now resistance 2: is not the same game as r1. nothing works the same, yeah the weps and characters are the same but thats about as far as it goes. Insomniac sold out to other games and started to copy them and did not stay true to the origional - so everyone basing how r2 is going to be through r1-- your wrong. simple.
graphics wise - r1 beats r2. r2 has brighter colours: so what?
your dumb... gears 2 sucks, it sooo clunky (rainbow six vegas is soo much better an not clunky) but at least they kinda fixed it.... its still a broken mess online though same bs glitches an host bs). resistance 2 is really damn good and has more depth, better online, and IS NOT BROKEN . Thats straight honesty. An to the person that said halo 3 sucks wow what a idiot its one of the most balanced games. but the campaign is horrible. All you fanboys on both sides need to get off your systems dick an not be so one sided....fanboys are just ignorant
Alright lets get straight down to the point! Resistance 2 wipes gears of war 2's ass because Gears of War is better than that FPS Shit! Resistance 2 sucks more than the ps3 and thats pretty bad because I thought the only thing that sucked more than the ps3 was wasting 500 bucks on it! The point is Gears of War 2 is the best game ever and Resistance 2 is a poor example of a an FPS and it sux ass!
In resistance 2, when you shoot a people they just stand still and take the bullets and eventually they just hit the ground! Now thats some FPS bullshit right there! In gears of war 2, when you shoot enemys there skin starts coming off wherever you shoot them and they start backing off from the bullets! Now thats realistic! Alomost every character in Gears of War 2 has famouse voice actors, Marcus fenixs voice actor is Bender the Robot from Futurama, General RAAMs voice actor helps with Family Guy episodes and Cole Trains voice actor is a Rapper for Christ sake! Resistance 2 has only one main character with some Gay Ass name and his voice actor is a nobody in this world! Final score is Resistance 2 gets a 1/10 for sucking so bad and Gears of War 2 gets an 11/10 for kickin ass this year!
read ma name! geow2 is gonna be ssome badass ripoff bullshit. 5v5 WAT FUCKINGG SHIT IS THAT???????????????????????????????????? RESISTANCE has like 20 more types of sepearte aliens like not like alien gunnner, alien shielder. AND MASSIVE 30V30 SQUAD BASED! god geow2 is just some cheap ripoff punk ass shit trying to get in the way of other awesome game developers
The gameplay in Gears of war 2 is different. different gameplay. different sound effect when shooting your gun. different everything. gears if war2 is a whole new game. resistance fall of man 2 is not. resistance can't even do what gears of war 2 can do so i don't know why r u comparing it. the storyline in gears of war 2 is exciting and amazing. the story for resitance fall of man story line is dumb. U just killing got damn aliens. Gears of war2 storyline is is excitement and interesting. Geras of wqar 2 got amazing graphics and more gameplay then restiance. I got to go. im at shcool so i can't type that long. Like i said gears of war 2 is bigeer and better than resitance. who want a 60 people playing. all it going to do is lag and shoot. can't even cover and hide your self from not getting shooten.
BEFORE READING THIS, NOTE THAT I AM STILL GOING TO GET R2 AND GEARS 2 OK. NO MATTER WHAT I'LL GIVE ANYTHING A CHANCE. RESISTANCE : FOM IS A GOOD (NOT THE BEST THOGH) GAME: The PS3 has way better technology than the XBOX 360 but the 360 is much more fun and easier to use. I have both games and they're both kick-ass. I think that gamers just talk shit about the other system/game because they dont have it. You got to try both before talking because anybody can read the fucking descriptions on any game. To tell you the truth, I was once a PlayStation "FANBoy" but then the XBOX came out and that changed my life. XBOX 360 will kill any system. How long did it take for the PS3 to come out after the 360 did? Why is it that PS3 has to copy everyone. motion sensors and trophies, come on sony you can be more original than that. To tell you the truth (my OPINION) fuck resistance:FOM, if you guys are going to be slobing on the playstations knob, at least give the 360 real competition. Why dont none of you PS3 Fanboys ever mention Metal Gear Solid 4? To me thats the best game to come out for the PS3, matter of fact thats the best game PERIOD. But im forever with GEARSOFWAR. PS:I bet if Gears would come out for the plastation, you guys would have resistance dusty!

i have ps3 and 360 and i have both games
sorry ps3 fanboys but gears is a better game
and for those who say its the smae game but better graphics well.....so is resistance
that said i cant wait for both games but will buy gears first cause it wii be better
this old school lookin game has to go man. now if it was like a 2008 UP future shit yes it probably look interesting but than when i look at it i see old school weapons im like hell no to this shit. the BOSS look fuckin sweet thats the only shit i like and the graphics kinda. but i prefer new school future shit. story line sounds great. i like that eerie shit. but the weapons Garbage. characters garbo. (beside that big ass boss).
online 30vs30 sounds good. but man communication is going to be shitty. and one thing is the connection going to be sweet or laggy. you know how when you have less players graphics are better and when you have alot of people the graphic changes..
i guess im just a gears fan thats why i got all this shit to talk about. but you cant put r2 vs gears theres no way. r2 dont even have 9/10 HAha its in the 8's.
PEOPLE! PEOPLE! WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE WHICH SHOOTER GAME IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST THIS YEAR, OK? THOUGH, I AM ROOTING FOR GEARS OF WAR 2, BUT LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE RESULT WHEN BOTH GAMES ARE RELEASED THIS COMING NOVEMBER. RESISTANCE 2 LOOKS AWESOME, BUT I AM A GEARS OF WAR 2 KIND OF GUY, THEN AGAIN, I CAN'T ASSUME ANYTHING THAT ONE IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER. WHAT ABOUT IF WE JUST BUY THE GAME WE CHOOSE TO PLAY NEXT MONTH, AND BE RESPECTFUL ON OTHER PEOPLE'S CHOICE OF GAME, IN THIS CASE, WE WILL ALL HAVE AN AWESOME TIME ENJOYING IT. GEARS OF WAR 2 AND RESISTANCE 2 ARE BOTH AWESOME GAMES THIS NOVEMBER...BAR NONE!!!! KUDOS TO BOTH EPIC AND INSOMNIAC FOR CREATING THESE TWO EXCELLENT SHOOTING GAMES! THANK YOU, GUYS!
Here is my opnion, Gears will RAPE resistence 2 but then again i cant really tell since neither is out yet. Gears in my opnion, is better beacuse it actualy requires SKILL. in Resistence, all you do is shoot from far away and hope you get the damn kill. Fuck resistnce GEARS WILL WIN
Yes jals91 you know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ps3 is pretty shit in my opinion but will get better hense the trophies and excvlusives are coming into place. resistance is a shit game! the aliens have no personality and are basically all the same. i feel like im playing cod4 but with an alien head not bin lardens! Fuck resistance 2 what a waste of money. these guys can only make 1 good game and thats ratchet and clank. resistance has a mighty crap multiplayer as the 30 vs 30 wouldn't work properly but you won't play that anyway as your teams are broken up into like 8 vs 8. big clap to insomiac for fucking you little faggot resistance fan boys over its funny. Hey you guys!!!! you like it up the bum yeah? cause you got raped!!!!! lolololololololololololoololololol buy this game when its on play.com winter sale for 10 pound or 20 dollars!
ok, iv'e read loads of comments and most are stupid. Don't come on the website and make judgements on these games' gameplay when you have no idea. what you have been told by the developers is one thing but what the game is actually like is another thing.
Gears 2 i think will be better, but i don't actually know it's an opinion. I'm not going to say that resistance 2 will be shit or anything like that.
I will get both Gears 2 and resistance 2 as i have xbox 360 and ps3. Don't hate on the game that's not on your console please, it does my head in.
Last thing, Gears 1 was to the majority of people a better game no doubt so don't bother arguing bout that. If you like resistance 1 more than gears 1 than get resistance 2 not gears 2, Whatever!
Gears 2 in my opinion however will be better as that gameplay is slightly improved and gears 1 gameplay was better than resistance 1-FACT. Graphics can't be compared since you have the animation type-gears and the more realistic approach-resistance. The features are better from waht iv'e read for Gears 2 and so is the audio and realism is by far better
Gotta luuuuurv the fanboys. =P
I think theyre both going to be awesome. Gears blew me away the first time i played it because it was so new and fresh. I only just started playing resistance, so it doesnt have that feel i got from GOW the first time, and im about half way through it with my friend. I think GOW was the more enjoyable game. However, both games bore me in singleplayer and i thank god theyre both co-op. The open scale of the battlefields in resistance is awesome and the close quarters fighting u can get with GOW is also awesome. I'm liking the look of the upcoming PS3 games better than those for 360. I find LBP really appealing, along with R2 and KZ2. GOW 2 will be sick, but im not so sure about fable 2 and halo wars tbh.
I actually liked the Resistance trailer a bit more because of its dramatic presentation, and I voted accordingly.
I played both original games, offline only. I couldn’t really get into Resistance, so I didn’t finish it. Story was cool, but the controls felt kinda sloppy and the early weapons in the game felt uninspired. Also, I’m sick of gray and brown color palettes. Ugh. I considered buying a PS3 when I first saw Resistance: FoM, but I wasn’t impressed enough with it to drop the $600.
I actually bought a X360 because of Gears. Some of my best gaming moments came from playing it’s co-op mode with a buddy. The story was spotty on the details, and the characters are mostly one-dimensional testosterone junkies. But it PLAYED really well. Plus, it has A CHAINSAW GUN. Awesome.
I didn’t play either of the games online. I don’t own a PS3 and I’m a PC gamer at heart, so paying $50 a year to play games online seems like a rip-off. And 60-player online modes may make you console-exclusive guys go nuts, but that kind of capability has been around in PC games for a while. I’m glad the console guys are getting that kind of experience now, though.
"Besides Nathan Hale would so crush Marcus Fenix in a chainsaw fight." nice quote man im for R2 . of course GeOW will sell more, alot more people have a 360. but R2 is gonna be tight and probably better than Gears 2. YEAH.
Personally, I think GeOW2 is going to win. Sure R2 looks all new and snappy. But you can cover shiat in candy and say it's the best you'll ever eat. It will not be the best you've ever eaten. GeOW series so far is doing a better job than Resistance series. Also, 60 players in a room is damn lot. A damn lot means a damn lag. Although 8 players is a bit limited, it's still enough so long as it has an enriching and stellar gameplay. They are 2 completely different genres, JSYK.
PS. Remember TLOZ: OOT, scorewise, blew every other game back to hell, but it looked like shiat.
the only way to really be able to declare which game is better wont be how many game copies are sold, but rather how many new consoles are bought at retail...i meant to say "move hardware" in my earyer comment.
@ GEARS,
I think you ment to say Micro$oft has tthe best software right now, they haven't "made" much themselves...most of their best games are 3rd party, SONY has way better 1st party games hands down. Therefore they acctually have more exclusive titles. I been playing resistance2 beta all day, i'm left speechless, enormous, beautiful maps. Gameplay has been improved & balanced, new weapons & improvements to old favorites.This game will move software, it redefines the FPS genre. BTW, i'm in the HOME BETA, SONY's free service will be the envy of all deathbox360 users.
ALL ROADS LEAD TO HOME...
I love the 360 and the ps3. But my 360 just got the ring of death. LOL I have had my ps3 since it came out. I have the 60gb system and have had no problems with it whatsoever. The ps3 has a 0.001% failure rate compared to the newly reduced xbox360's which is still high. It was 40% but now it is 16% comparred to a 0.001% failure rate. If i was playing gears 2 the xbox system would crash because the system can't handle something as good as gears of war 2. If gears was on the ps3 it would be better than resistance, but its not so resistance is totally better. I am not a fanboy. I love gears of war and how you can roll around and do kung fu flips to get out of the maps. But it just doesnt have that click like resistance did. So resistance 2 will be better than Gears 2. The reason i say that is because that resistance 2 has better graphics, atleast 3 different campaigns depending on the players in it and the difficulty level you put it on. 60 player onine. 8 player co-op more maps bigger maps and more detaild maps, more explosions and up to 300-foot enemies against the gears of war 2's, 2 player co-op 10 player online 5 player co-op horde mode (which will be awesome) smaller maps less detailed maps and less maps, only one campaign to go through, less detailed characters and up to only 30-foot enemies.The dowloadable content will be free for resistance 2 while you pay for the downloadable content for gears of war 2. The ps3 won't blow up playing a game as good as resistance unlike the 360. If the 360 tried to play Resistance 2 or any game that is an exclusive to the ps3, the 360 wouldn't even get to the start menu of the game. That's how much better the ps3 is compared to the 360. Now trust me i play the 360 more than my ps3 cause more of my friends play it, but i would have to disagree with xbox live being better than the 360. I mean with the ps3 you can surf the internet, autimatically put any film clip or picture you put in any game you have and upload it directly to youtube.com. Now how cool is that. Now don't send any stupid funkin ass comments about gears of war 2 being better than resistance 2 or that the xbox360 is better than the ps3, cause they aren't. There is no comparison to them. I will say though that the 360 is better than the Wii.
GamerForever, your obviously an idiot.
My ps3 took all of about 2 mins to set up, if that. All I have to do is search for the wireless network, and once its found it (Takes about 3 seconds by the way) all I have to do is input the WEP key and then Im online. No subscription fees or anything stupid like that. I just go into a game and play online
And an hour to do a 130mb install? I think your exaggerating. GTA IV was about a 4gb install and that only took me about 5 minutes
And Yes, I will play blu rays on my ps3, as that is the format which is the standard (Well supposedly, but its having such a slow uptake)
Now Im not biased towards either peice of machinery. I have played 360 quite a few times and its far from a peice of crap. Ill say its not as good a machine as the ps3, as that is a simple fact. Once devs start to *finally* tap the cell the results should be amazing. I read somewhere that although MGS4 took up a 50gb DL Blu Ray (Probably all the ridiculously long cut scenes etc lol) It was only using between 30% and 40% supposedly, although dont quote me on it. Once devs finally get to grips with and harness the full power of the cell, we will see things that will blow your mind
