Props to Gears 2 for setting the new standard.

Midway is probably working on MK vs. DC Universe w/ an E rating.

"Props to Gears 2 for setting the new standard."

I really hope you're referring to the graphics department only, and not the tired gameplay.

Given the context of the article was talking about the visuals of Gears 2, I thought it would be obvious... guess not.

"similar to Gears, but a totally different set up"

I play gears like 20x more than I've spend in MGS4. But MGS4 looks much better. We are talking opinion of course because looks are subjective. To me, it's a matter of art design, not graphical capability. Though, from a capability standpoint, the textures are higher res in MGS4, as walking up to any wall will prove, but there is more model detail in gears.

Why do developers say retarded shit like this? Remember when Media Molecule was all like, "We were making a game more portally than Portal. Hurr!"

Idiots.

A while ago, Midway had said that they were working on an MK title that had an artstyle very similar to Gears.

While I doubt this is the project they are refering to, one can only dream.

I love that Gears 2 is the new standard of hotness.

I hate that Midway actually thinks they can top it. First get rid of this MK vs DC shit. Release a good MK game and then we can talk Midway.

Hey. As a fan of older MK and of comics in general I think MK vs. DC is pretty badass.

I would like this also.

Or another version of shaolin monks.

I would prefer if midway would sell off all of their IP to 'better' developers though.

A new NBA Jam would be a day 1 purchase here, sight unseen.

They could even release an older version on XBLA, and I'd gobble it up and play folks on Live.

Dear Midway,

Congrats on MK v DC.

We know your hard up for money, but pimping a game that is only three months in development and saying its "similar to Gears, but a totally different set up."

!?!?

You should know better. The internet will have a field day with this and people are now already not taking your game seriously. nice.

I think Sonic Unleashed looks as good as gear of war in their own right, I'm glad the companies are trying to step up, flaws that we usually forgive in the last gen are unforgivable now, a tough lesson that squarenix is figuring out.

Hey if the game looks as good as gears then great if it looks even prettier? then more power to you midway because by the time the game comes out who knows what game is going to set a new standard.

STEP UP!!.

Exactly, Obie!

Graphics are about one fifth of the equation, maybe less. How about good, fun gameplay, good story, good production, no bugs or glitches etcetera.

Maybe that is Midway's problem, they only concentrate on the outer shell and deliver a hollow product.

That has to be Midway's golden rule. Did they specify if it looks better as in "screenshots" or actual gameplay footage? 3 months is short period of development time to be talking smack, especially for a company that is going bankrupt. :/
