N/A	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post There really isn't much improvement here. Basically they have added some new texture layers, and added more texture details to the main player. However, they have also taken out some models/assets and reduced model detail of some buildings. Lighting ..... I don't know whether to its improved or not, if you happen to like ue3's horrible over-blown, over-saturated, pasty lighting then i guess you can say more is better. More post-processing blur than before resulting in less draw distance - fail attempt at creating depth of field. However i guess you could say they have given the map more mood and atmosphere which is great. However in general UE3 is a completely overrated engine, even running on max settings on a PC it still looks terrible. Reply

I own this game, and its predecessor, it makes the first Gears look awful. I a a big fan of MGS4 by the way ;). Reply
