Ok,why do people keep saying that they want it to look better than gears?Do you realize the difference in scale in the two games?Gears of War's enviroments are small,and highly detailed.There's no thirty mile wide chasms.Cascading mountain ranges.Beautiful astomshperic particles and haze to with that.If The Elder Scrolls 4:Oblivion took place in an alternate Cyrodiil that was say,six square miles,instead of sixteen,the would have looked alot better.It's the scale,my friends.Halo 3's gonna freaken gonna huge.Unlike Gears,which is a blan,dark,and small.Halo 3 being bright,vivd,and huge.Note the word,HUGE.Not small hallways,with no maore than fifteen people on screen,but massive,jaw dropping scenery,with lots,and lots humans,covies,(possibly flood),all battleing it out on earth.SO how do the two compare?They don't.Two seperate games,that take place on a different scale. p.s I think the announcement trailer looks way the hell better than gears.
