Gears 3 Screenshots: Warning! May Cause Salivation

[hal]

Epic Games has mastered the art of screenshots and Gears of War 3 looks to be a particularly beautiful game with which to showcase that dark profession. Put on your bibs and enjoy these 15 shots from PAX. (thanks Mozi)

I am actually surprised there are some colors in some of these screenshots.
Please keep it that way, because they're the better looking shots of the bunch IMO

Most of them aren't new to me. In fact most of them look like the previous batch.

...inb4 PC port

The only way I will ever play it TBH.

Beautiful! Hmm....but i can't believe that this quality will be ever seen on Xbox. Bet these shots where made on a very potent development PC rendered out of the engine. Can't be a console or am i wrong?

Unreal Lightmass sure is pretty.

 

[Mozi]

Lightmass lighting and the power to automatically compute "god rays" make level design polish work so much easier! Loving these same tools at work!

None of these are new. I've had them on my hard drive for well over a month, maybe two.

This will probably be the last game I play on my 360 before I sell the waste of space.

Who said anything about new? http://www.beyondunreal.com/view_story.php?id=13187

Yes. I love the new enemies. This is going to be better than GOW 2's Campaign, which was one of the best I have ever played in years.

We've seen screenshots like this for GoW1 & 2 (or any UE3 based game), but when you actually played it, it certainly didn't look as nice as these screenshots..

No, you're right. Sadly, I doubt we'll see a PC version.

Screenshots have always been tailored to look better than the actual game, even pc releases aren't immune to this.

Although given how good looking Killzone 2 is and the upcoming 3rd game, these screenshots may very well show off what the console is capable of.

EDIT: The lack of jaggies certainly suggests the screens were doctored, the 360 just isn't capable of doing that well of fullscreen AA.

Ya, no way. Money is on console.

 

[Jacks:Revenge]

money is the root of all evil...

also, this is the first GoW game that looks even remotely interesting.
maybe it's the splash of color and the change of scenery. but the previous titles never actually did anything to grab my attention. I know they were popular, yet I saw nothing in them that made me want to try.

this installment might warrant at least a rental.

Their armor looks ridiculous.
